“It’s okay, elskan,” Kaspar assured her.
“I want answers, but I’d like them without eavesdropping,” Megan said.
“Are you sure?” Cameron asked.
Megan nodded.
Cameron waved a hand toward the hallway. “You can use my office.”
Megan motioned for Kaspar to follow her, and he gave Dalton a wide berth as he slipped past him. He paused to squeeze Jesska’s hand. “Are you all right?”
She nodded, and he released her to follow Megan.
Kaspar walked inside the room and was instantly impressed with the office space. It had floor-to-ceiling windows that made him feel like he was standing at the top of the world, and the size itself was bigger than most double bedrooms in Iceland. The view was incomparable as the sun set over the water.
Megan closed the door behind him, and motioned to the chair facing the large mahogany desk. He sat down after she took Cameron’s chair. “Why are you here?” she asked, her voice shaking. “You cannot take Sophia from me. I won’t allow it.”
“Sister,” Kaspar said with a frown. “I have no intention of taking her from you. Did my brother make you believe that I would?”
Megan shrugged. “He never discussed you. I only found out through his staff that he had family and that you were royalty.”
“What about when he came to visit me?”
“He left me behind.”
“Obviously,” Kaspar said. “But did he tell you where he was going?”
“No. He said it was business. I usually found out after the fact that he had visited his family.”
Kaspar could see that Ari’s deception had wounded Megan and, with the sheen of tears she tried to blink away, he could see it still did. “Tell me what you want to know,” he said.
“What are you?” Megan asked.
“Excuse me?”
She cleared her throat. “What are you? I have been away from Ari long enough that I have figured out you’re not what you seem. He was able to wipe my pregnancies from memory and replace them with entirely different ones. He could make me believe anything he said. It took me until I was here before I started to put the fragmented pieces of my mind back together.”
“And from that, you believe that I would hurt you or Sophia?”
Megan stared at him for several tense seconds before shaking her head and rising to her feet. She made her way to the windows and stared out at the water. “I don’t think Ari would ever allow us to be hurt.”
Kaspar relaxed. “What do you remember?”
She faced him, crossing her arms. “I remember almost everything now. What I can’t figure out is if what I’m remembering is accurate or not.”
“Which parts?”
“Him. What we felt for each other.”
“What did you feel for him?”
“I loved him. More than I had ever loved anyone... and probably ever will.”
“Then why did you leave?” he asked.
“We weren’t safe.”
“From him?”
