My head was spinning from seeing Frank and Sam. Adding to my discomfort and embarrassment was having to tell Ethan about Frank’s plan. To Frank I was nothing more than a whore he could trade for political gain. And Sam, desperate for Frank’s approval, went along with anything his father said.

“What did they say when you told them you wouldn’t agree to marry Greg?”

“The same thing he said in the restaurant. It was my obligation to my family.”

“What did he say when you left?”

“Nothing. I just packed my stuff and drove off. I had no reason to say goodbye. I’d already given him an answer and I didn’t owe him any further explanation. I only took what belonged to me and my mom and walked out the door.”

“The bed,” he mumbled.

Shit on a shingle he was putting it together. I supposed it didn’t make a difference at this point, I’d already been completely humiliated, but it still stung having him know how destitute I’d been. Not that I was that much better off now, but I did own a bed, nightstand, and dresser. Furniture I’d purchased with money I’d earned. I was able to pay my rent and still save money. I wasn’t swimming in it, however, my prints were selling and my design business was growing. I was proud of what I’d accomplished.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Hurt shone on his face and I didn’t know how to explain it had nothing to do with me not trusting him and everything to do with me not wanting to admit I was worthless. According to Frank and Sam my only value as a person was an indentured sex slave for Greg. That was what they thought of me. Frank thought I owed him a debt and he was going to collect.

“Because I never wanted to think about it again. I didn’t think it was a big deal.”

“A big deal? Did you really think Frank was going to let it go?”

“Yes. I figured he’d move on.”

“Clearly you were wrong. You understand that now, right?”

“Clearly. I’m not stupid, Ethan. I know a threat when I hear one. That’s why I think I need to move. Leave Georgia all together. I thought I’d moved far enough away I’d never see him again. I was wrong.”

I don’t know why I’d said I should move. It wasn’t something I’d planned on saying. It just spewed out before I could think about the ramifications of my words.

“Move? Are you fucking serious?” Ethan was pissed, really pissed.

“I don’t want my problems touching you or Carson. He’s right, his reach is long. He could cause a lot of problems for you at the station. We have to think about Carson.”

“I’m not worried about my job, Honor. Fuck my job. I’m worried about you.”

“He can’t do anything to me. I don’t have anything to lose. What do you think he’ll do? Kidnap me and hold me hostage until I agree to marry Greg? He’s not that crazy.”

“He’s not? He had a goddamn contract drawn up outlining when you were to fuck Greg.
