I imagine running out of the window, but I know that there are guards parked outside my door, and down my window on the lawn.

I go to the window and look down.

What the hell.

There's a battle going on and I notice Angelo.

Suddenly, my hand lurches to my stomach, and I caress my baby.

"We're going to get out of here," I whisper.

Or maybe Felix has come to take his revenge but something tells me that revenge at Felix's hand will be far better than a future at Hunter's.

"Rosalie!" Hunter's voice shatters the fragile peace I've managed to build around myself.

My heart races, adrenaline surging through my veins.

What does he want from me? What if he takes me and tries to make a run for it?

He'd make sure Felix never finds me then.

My fingers tremble as I push back the fear threatening to consume me.

I must protect my baby, at all costs.

"Come on, we're leaving," he growls, suddenly appearing by my side.

His grip on my arm is bruising, the cold steel of a gun pressed against my temple.

"You will be mine, Rosalie.

You have no choice.

And you will be so in front of that Carlisi man who put a baby in you.

Let him see whose prize he tried to claim."

Shit, he figured it out.

"Please, Hunter, don't do this," I beg, desperately trying to keep the terror from my voice.

The icy rain continues to fall outside, reflecting the chill that has settled deep within me.

I have to think fast, but what can I do?

"Shut up!" he snaps, yanking me outside through the hallway, into the torrential downpour.

I'm soaked within moments, the freezing rain searing my skin like a thousand tiny knives.

But the physical pain is nothing compared to the fear gnawing away at my insides.

This man wants to claim me as his bride, and I know he will stop at nothing to achieve his goal.

"Please, you don't have to do this. Think of the consequences,"

I plead, my voice barely audible over the pounding rain.

My mind races with thoughts of my unborn child, the tiny life growing inside me that depends on my every decision.
