She backed up as far away from the door as possible, pressing her back against the wall. What was he doing in Mitch’s house?
Jiggle, jiggle.
Breathing hard, she looked around. Nothing was within reach. Mitch had removed anything that would be useful.
“Let me in, my wife.”
“Don’t call me that!”
Rita covered her mouth, realizing her mistake.
“You are in there.”
She crept around, looking for anything she could use against him.
The ropes. Maybe she could get one loose from the bed.
It was her only option.
Knock, knock.
She had to loosen it fast. The nearest one was too tight. She hurried to the next one.
It gave a little.
“Are you toying with me, my pet?” Boone called from the other side of the door.
Rita bit back a comeback. Focused on the knot. It wasn’t loosening as easily as she’d have liked, but it gave more than the other one.
“Come out, come out, wherever you are.”
She dug her nails into the rope, pulled.
It came loose.

A chill ran down her back. Of course he knew about Mitch.
Just like she knew about Britney. And Samantha. Lucy. Cate.
But he wasn’t the one locked in a room in either of their homes.
Jiggle. Click.
“Looky here, my pet. It’s unlocked.”
She pulled the rope free. Hid it behind her back.
The door flung open, banged against the wall.
Rita’s breath hitched.
Boone’s outline was barely visible in the dark.
“Where’s my Rita?”
She resisted the urge to tell him she wasn’t his.
