“Ambrie.” Amanda nearly pounced on her as she washed her hands. “We have to go.” She looked at her watch. “We only have a few minutes. There’s a car waiting for you outside to get you out of here. You’ll be safe.”

Ambrie lifted her gaze to meet Amanda’s in the mirror. “What are talking about, Amanda? What have you done?”

“I know you were forced into marrying that man. I know all about it. Right after your parents were murdered, and you disappeared, I was contacted . . .”

Ambrielle swung around, crossing her arms over her chest. “Stop right there, Amanda. I’ve known you for years. You can’t lie to save your soul. You aren’t saving me, so drop the bullshit. What are you doing? Who contacted you, and what did he say?” She poured steel into her voice.

Amanda’s face crumpled, just as Ambrie knew it would. Her friend burst into tears. “He’s going to kill Adam. He’s got a sniper rifle on him. Somebody sent me an email and told me when I was contacted by you that I was to let them know. When you said to meet you at a restaurant, I was to inform them where it was and the time you would be there.”

“You told them I’d be here tonight?” Ambrielle repeated, more for Lissa and Scarlet’s sake than to memorize what she was told. She knew the two women had entered and gone into the stalls.

“I had to tell them. They said they’d kill Adam. They sent me pictures of him coming and going from his apartment. One was right outside his apartment door. I was so scared for him.” There was a little sob in her voice. “I didn’t know what to do, Ambrie. They were going to kill him. They did say this man took you and that he and his club were responsible for the deaths of your parents. I wanted it to be true. I wanted these other people to be rescuing you.”

“You knew better.” Ambrie wasn’t going to let her off the hook. “No one rescuing me was going to threaten to kill your brother. You were trading my life for his.”

“No!” Amanda wailed. “I was saving you. I was trading that horrible man’s life, Master, the one who took you and killed your parents. He was supposed to die, not you. You were going to be saved, and my brother was going to be saved.”

Ambrielle went very still, the air leaving her lungs in a long rush. For a moment the room spun, and a red haze shimmered behind her eyes. Kir. Master. The only person she had left in the entire world. Her husband. Amanda had just shrieked that she had set her husband up to be killed.

She forced herself to keep from leaping at her best friend and attacking her. “Amanda, how are they going to kill him? Master? How are they planning to kill him?” She kept her voice very calm. It shook, but she managed to keep her cool.
