Itâs a long drive back to my house and Iâm silent the whole time. I know that I would do anything to save Cookie, and that includes sacrificing myself. I must keep her safe at all costs. I just hope she can forgive me.
Chapter 11
Cookie
I sit on the bed, waiting, but every little noise I hear has my heart jumping. Iâm scared that Nathan might come back. I was so sure Frost would have burst in here by now. What if he doesn't know yet?
I have no idea when his mom was going to tell him she kidnapped me. I donât see how this crazy idea of hers is going to work. For all I know, Frost thinks I ran again. Itâs really not that big of a stretch.
I wipe at my cheeks, trying to stop the tears.
Let's say he does agree to marry Chel. Then what? If Frost still wants me, there will be no stopping him, unless they threaten him. I bite my bottom lip as it starts to tremble. The idea of him marrying someone else takes the air out of my lungs, and my heart feels heavy.
I was so stupid. If I hadn't pushed him away in the beginning, I donât think any of this would have happened. Iâm sure Frost would have had a ring on my finger the second I let it happen, and now when I look down at my bare finger, all I feel is regret. If this plan works, Iâll have to see my Frost married to another woman.
Who have I been kidding? All the time I spent running from Frost was pointless. I thought I was trying to protect my heart, but that first day I saw him, I wanted him. I want to be the woman who could get close to him in ways no one else ever could. Heâd had me back then already and it wouldn't have mattered if he pressed to be with me or not. He owned my heart from that first moment he lifted his head, and his eyes locked with mine.
I jump when the door to the bedroom flies open and I see Frostâs mother. Sheâs alone this time, but from the smile on her face I think sheâs getting what she wants. I wipe away the rest of my tears because I donât want to give her the satisfaction of making me cry. The woman is a sociopath, and I think she would enjoy it.
âI think youâre going to make it home in time for Christmas. This year itâs going to be magical.â Sheâs standing there with a sinister smile, waiting on me to what? Thank her? Yeah, sheâs a sociopath.
âYou got him to agree?â I ask, wanting to know whatâs going on.
âIt was easy really.â She waves her hand as if it was no big deal. âThey will marry tomorrow. Then youâll be free. Well, youâll be free of me. I have no idea what Nathan wants with you, but youâll be his problem then.
