“I dare you.”

As soon as the words leave Kian’s mouth, he knows he has me hooked. It’s only been a couple of weeks since we started fooling around together, but we’ve been hanging out for a lot longer than that. One thing he’s learnt about me since he met me is that I never back down from a dare. I grew up surrounded by brothers, and Ryleigh, who is just as fierce—if not more so—than all my brothers combined. If you want to survive in the Doughty family, you have to be tough enough to be willing to take on any dare they throw your way.

Growing up, pulling pranks and doing dares with each other was something that united us. From a young age, we were forced to grow up a lot quicker than we should have. We were trained to take our place in my father’s business as soon as we could be. We were all taught to fire guns before we were ten years old, along with fighting lessons.

Initially, Desmond didn’t want Ryleigh and me to be taught to fight or fire guns. We were just supposed to be silent and as beautiful as we could be so he could marry us off to the right people. Evan and Liam were the ones who persuaded him to teach us. At first, I was pissed. Ryleigh wanted to be as tough as she could, but I didn’t. I didn’t want to know how to hold a gun or how to fight. But actually, the more I trained, the more I realised that being in this family means I have to know these things. It’s part of the reason I was so keen to get out of this lifestyle, but now I have one very good reason to stay. It’s still something I’m coming to terms with. But each day I spend with Kian, he manages to make my decision just that little easier.

The whole car journey, I’ve done nothing but look at road signs and throw guesses at Kian, as I try to work out where he’s taking me. But never once does he let up, or give me any kind of clue. “Today is a day of dares. I want to push you to have the most fun you can. So, do you trust me, Beautiful?”

His voice is joking and playful, but that’s a crazy big question. I don’t trust anyone other than my brothers and Ry. It took a while to trust Bree and Mia, too. It’s just not something that comes easy for me. After all, my parents let me down in the worst way possible.

Not only did Ry and I find out we’re not really his children, but that he planned on fucking selling us off to one of his business partners, to strengthen his position of power. Liam saved us, and I can’t even imagine the life we would have had if that wasn’t the case. We’ve never really talked about what happened, or the fact Desmond isn’t really our father.
