Monster (Present Day)

Monster stared at her sitting in the chair, her hands bound behind her back, her head lowered, and his heart broke with longing and regret. He wanted nothing more than to kneel on the floor in front of her and place his head in her lap, and absorb the warmth and scent of her. Just be back in her presence and allow himself to love her again. He’d been forcing himself to continue as though she’d never entered his life, but the truth was his heart had ached with every second that passed without her. A small part of him wanted to make sure she was safe and then give it all up. What was the point in living if she wasn’t a part of his life? But he’d been raised to run his father’s business, cold-hearted and emotionless, and that was what he needed to do. He needed to find a way of taking himself back to the time before he met Lily, even though he wanted more than anything to spend the rest of his days curled up in bed with her, losing himself in her soft skin.

But he couldn’t do anything to change that. If she was in his life, she was in danger. If she stayed here, she was in danger. If she wanted to stay alive, she needed to run and forget both he, and Lily Drayton, ever existed.

Remaining silent, he nodded to the man he’d hired, Sean Hamilton, to do his thing. If things went smoothly—which they rarely did when Lily was involved—she would never even need to know he was here.

The other man walked behind Lily’s chair. Monster could tell she heard him from the way her shoulder’s stiffened and her head jerked in the direction of his steps. Sean leaned down to speak threateningly in her ear. “If you want to survive, you need to leave Los Angeles.”

Her whole body froze. She paused and then said, “Survive? What do you mean?”

“You heard me. You need to leave L.A. and never look back.”

“I can hardly leave when you’ve handcuffed me to a chair.”

Though muffled, her tone was biting, and she sat with her back straight.

A part of Monster wilted, while the other part felt proud of her. Even with everything she’d been through—the initial kidnapping, the captivity he’d kept her in, him drugging her to send her back here, and now kidnapped again—she was still fighting. She was strong. It didn’t matter what he’d put her through, she refused to break.

Sean’s eyes flicked up to his. Monster gave a slight nod to tell him to continue.

“If you agree to the terms,” Sean said, “you’ll be allowed to go free.”

Her voice came from beneath the hood. “What kind of terms?”

“You need to leave Los Angeles and get as far away from the city as you can. You’ll be given a new name, with all the identification you need, a new place to live and enough money to get you started.”

She lifted her chin and appeared to be staring in his direction, though he knew she couldn’t see anything.
