CHAPTER 18

Georgia

“Why, Mommy?”

Dillon was full of questions. So was I.

Why were we being held like prisoners?

Just who was Sabatino to Rico Garcia?

Why was the man who’d captured me so certain I was working with such a snake?

I bristled as I sat down on the little man’s bed, trying to figure out how in the world I could explain the complexity of the situation we were currently in. I’d done my best to find a way out, prepared to find a rental car, train, or plane that could take us far away from here. The bastard had locked me in. Granted, what an incredible place to be held as prisoner.

We’d been provided with three rooms plus a bathroom that was larger than my bedroom back at the cabin. The view of the sweeping grounds was incredible, rolling hills and trees as far as the eye could see. My captor didn’t just live in a house. The powerful man lived in a tremendous estate, three floors with so many rooms I had a feeling I’d get lost if I was allowed to explore.

Which I doubted I would be.

The windows were locked and not from the inside, the French doors in my room the same. Even during my incarceration with Rico, I’d been allowed to roam the grounds. Sighing, I rubbed my hand down my little boy’s cheek. “Because when Sabatino is doing business, we can’t interfere.”

I wanted to feel incensed, pretending the bastard of a man didn’t have a conscience but I would be wrong. Somehow, Sabatino had managed to decorate Dillon’s room with toys and books, even a kid’s lamp and comforter. My room was also special with plush surroundings, toiletries and perfume, new clothes hanging in the closet.

He’d also had my laptop packed up and brought with us some of Dillon’s clothes and Max’s food and toys as well as one of the pup’s favorite beds. It would seem he’d been inside my home going through my things for a little while. That irritated me also as much as everything else.

The asshole clearly believed he could ply me with gifts and I’d fall under his tyrannical spell. He obviously didn’t know what I was made of. Fuck him. Fuck this place.

A sick feeling churned in my stomach. I was being used as a pawn. What was I going to do?

“But he likes us. Doesn’t he?” Dillon reached down, placing his hand on Max’s head, peering up at me as if I had all the answers. Meanwhile, I knew I had none.

“How could anyone not adore you and the most fabulous pup in the world.” I dragged my boy up, gently tossing him on the bed. As soon as I started to tickle his tummy, Max jumped up beside him, barking protectively.

As Dillon giggled, kicking out his little legs, I couldn’t resist yanked up his shirt, blowing on his tummy. He’d liked that since he was a baby, his eyes lighting up as if I was his entire world.

I couldn’t help
