The silence dragged out and I tried to control the growing rage in my belly. If he was toying with me, I would push back at him. I had no idea how, but I’d definitely give it a go.

He smirked but nevertheless he answered. ‘Because I owed your mother a favour. I now consider the favour repaid. Do you accept?’
‘My mother?’ My mind went blank. He wasn’t talking about Sandy Barrett.
‘Do you accept?’ he repeated.
The blood was rushing through me and my heart was pounding. ‘Yes. Tell me.’
‘Tell you what?’
