You’re going to hurt your mom more than anyone else if you don’t marry Michael. Do your fucking job as my daughter and marry him. I’ll divorce your mom and leave her with nothing if you don’t. It won’t bother me at all, but you’re going to be the one to destroy this family. Your mother will blame you and Cassie will never be able to forgive you if you don’t do this. You be at that church, or I’ll make your life a living hell.

My father’s words circled in my head and I grabbed onto the counter to keep from falling. Who was this horrible, manipulative man that had threatened his family? He’d always been detached and aloof, but he had never been outright cruel before.

“Megan, are you okay?” my mom asked frantically.

“I’m fine.”

“Are you sure? You almost fell.”

“She almost fell?”

Hunter appeared on my other side, concern coloring his voice. He scooped me up, carried me around the table, and sat me down in a chair. Normally I would protest, but I was too weak from the memory.

“What happened, baby?” He kneeled down in front of me and placed his hands on my shoulders so I would focus on him.

“A memory came back. Have you gotten to Cassie yet?” He pursed his lips, but didn’t say anything. “You have to get her out of there. He said something. She’s in trouble, I know it. Hunt, you have to do something. You have to save her,” I said, panic rising in my throat. My voice was almost shrill by the time I finished.

“Megan, baby, calm down. Breathe. What are you talking about? What did who say? You need to tell me because it might help my guys.”

“Jack. All I remember is that he said Cassie wouldn’t be able to forgive me. When he said it I just thought he meant that she wouldn’t forgive me, but now I think she’s in danger. There was something with the wording of how she wouldn’t be able to forgive me.”

“Shit.” He pulled out his phone and texted someone, but never moved from in front of me. “Think hard, baby. Was there anything else?”

“No, nothing about Cassie. He said he would divorce mom, but since she’s left him that doesn’t really apply anymore. The asshole thought he was safe no matter what. He seriously thought he was invincible.”

“I’m going to bring your sister here safely, baby. You just have to trust me.”

“I do. I know you’ll do anything you can to help her.”

He wrapped me up in his strong arms. I felt better having him next to me, but all I could think of were my father’s threatening words. I dug my face into Hunter’s shoulder and tried hard not to cry. My mom placed a comforting hand on my shoulder, and I gripped her hand like a lifeline. The guilt I felt from causing this ate at me. If we couldn’t get Cassie out safely, I didn’t know what I would do.
