She felt dread settle in her belly. She’d heard the gun going off, but everything in the next few moments happened so fast, she didn’t know what was going on anymore. She was tossed in the back of the police car, where she searched frantically out the window. She saw them caring Mason away. He held his arm, blood making a slow trek down his bicep before landing on the cement. She breathed out a sigh of relief. He was alive.

The police officer got into the car and, without saying anything to her, started the engine and pulled away from the curb. She knew her father had a lot of men under his thumb, high-ranking officials that could get him whatever he wanted. He even had the police department in his pocket; that was clear right now.

“There are witnesses. They saw you shooting a man without any cause.”

He didn’t respond. “I’ll make sure you and the department that’s behind this corrupt shit get what you deserve.”

He chuckled then, but it sounded dead.

“For as smart as your family is, you’re a stupid girl for thinking anything like that.”

The rest of the trip was made in silence. Her heart was in her throat, she felt beads of perspiration line her spine and between her breasts.

It was sometime later before she saw her father’s estate come into view.

“Where are you taking Mason?”

Silence greeted her.

“Fucking answer me, you asshole.”

More silence.

Although she hoped the wound to his arm was just superficial, she also worried about the long-term situation. What would her father do to him? It was clear he knew Mason had initially kept her, but he wouldn’t know she wanted to stay there. They hadn’t stopped to get her story, didn’t ask how she and Mason came to be together. Someone had called the cops or her father, but it was the extreme outcome of it all that she’d never contemplated.

God, I really am stupid.

They pulled to a stop in front of the stone steps that led to the door. It opened as if whoever was on the other side had been waiting. She could see the vestibule behind her father. His stern expression was trained right on her.

The cop got out and walked around to the back to let her out. She ran her hands over her pants, ready to tell her father exactly what was going on. But she’d always felt so small, so insignificant when before him. He was powerful, his life so different from hers, from what she wanted for herself. She’d been this pawn he could use.

Be strong. Mason doesn’t deserve this.

No matter what happened with Mason in the beginning, or how they came to be in each other’s lives, things were different. Fate was a crazy bitch.

She wouldn’t let him go down, not without a fight.
