Especially now.
“Emma, did you know that…”
Ice cold blood trickles down my spine as my father bursts into my room, uninvited and without even bothering to knock.
I’ve been away from him for so long that I've forgotten his bad habits, especially this one.
Privacy isnota thing around that man.
He stares at me, then at the bunch of pregnancy tests in my hand.
The color drains from his cheeks as he clicks onto what’s happening here.
“Emma, are you…?”
He can’t even finish his sentence.
I don’t really need him to.
“Okay, well now Ineedyou to tell me everything that happened while you were kidnapped. Or I will kill every single man that walks the streets of New York.”
Oh God, how the fuck am I supposed to keep Owen alivenow?
I’m going to have to try.
Everything is relying on me right now.
TWENTY-SIX
OWEN
That asshole might be like a bloodhound, but I have one thing he doesn’t.
Samantha.
She’s already told me where Hudson is hiding out, so I won’t have any trouble seeking that fucker out and putting an end to him.
I know what he’s like… I know how he thinks.
This has gone too far.
Even if Flynn calls Hudson off the trail, he won’t stop. He’ll consider it a failed job, a stain on his reputation. He won’t let it stand.
I know because I’m the same way.
That’s why I’m going to get to him first.
“So, this is it, huh?”
I find the abandoned warehouse, just on the out skirts of the city. A shit hole, but just the sort of place a man like Hudson would hide out.
But he isn’t alone.
I knew he wouldn’t be. Samantha warned me as much.
He has a little entourage now—guys he’s gathered who probably owe him favors—to keep him safe.
Maybe they’ve worked so far, but they won’t now.
