WILLOW

A few days later, I stand in the bedroom of my apartment, staring at myself in the mirror.

This is the last time I’ll be here. The last time I’ll wake up in a bed that’s only my own.

Today is my wedding day.

I try to keep the fear and sadness off my face, but it churns in my chest, making my heart beat hard and fast.

As far as the Voronin brothers know, I’m going to meet them at the designated rendezvous point today, so that we can all try to skip town before Olivia catches us. I don’t want to give any hint that that’s not what’s gonna happen, just in case Vic is watching through the cameras. I need them to think the plan is going ahead as scheduled, so that they won’t try to stop me.

It’s the only way.

I drag in a deep breath and square my shoulders, trying to find some courage. What I’m heading toward is terrible, but I don’t have any other choice.

There’s a car stashed behind my apartment building so that I can drive myself to the rendezvous point without being spotted by Olivia’s guard, but instead of heading toward it, I leave the building and march right toward Jerome’s ominous looking SUV.

“Are you ready?” he asks, glancing at his watch.

“Yes.” I nod sharply, then climb into the back.

With every block we drive, my stomach knots itself tighter and tighter. My fingers are tangled together so tightly that my knuckles turn white, and I have to keep telling myself that I’m doing the right thing. This is the only way to keep the brothers safe and get them out of Olivia’s clutches. That’s all that matters.

When Jerome drops me off at the church, Olivia is right there waiting for me as I walk up the stairs to the grand entrance. She looks smug and almost proud, giving me a smile that looks slightly genuine for once.

“You’re a smart girl, Willow,” she says, nodding. “I’m glad you accepted my offer. You know how to play the game, and that will serve you well. And in the end, this marriage will be the best thing for you. You’re going to have a life that’s better than anything those men could have given you.”

I bite my tongue so that I won’t blurt out what I’m actually thinking, but it’s so ridiculous that she still thinks, even now, that I should be grateful for this. That the chance to marry into the wealth and power of the Copeland family is more important than anything else.

My fingers twitch, wanting to curl into fists, but I force them to stay loose at my sides. I hate this woman so much. Now more than ever.

She’s taken so much from me, and she still has the nerve to pretend like she’s giving me something. That this is for my own good and I’ll realize that one day.

“I just want to get this over with,” I tell her, my tone cool. It’s the best I can do to hold my temper and not lash out at her.
