Page 49 of Stolen Love

“I need to find Dizzy,” Ivy insists. “I need to find out what happened the other night.”

“We will.” I take her hand and tug her into the foyer with me. “But first we’re going to Sunny. Going to pay our mom a visit. And then we’re going to pop in and meet this Dr. West.”

“The other night?” Rebel glances between us as he shrugs into his jacket.

“Yeah, good job, protecting her.” I snort. “Ivy just told me she left in the middle of the night to meet this West because he promised to help her with her memories.”

His jaw slackens. “When?”

“The night I was arrested.” I snag the keys to the Range Rover from the table.

Rebel’s eyes widen. “Seriously?”

Ivy shrugs. “It’s not your fault. And it did help.”

“Debatable,” I say as I close the door to the apartment. “We don’t know that you weren’t remembering anyway.”

“I have a bump on the back of my head that says something about that night helped,” she argues as we join Jackson in the elevator.

“Do not try and use the fact that you were injured to make this sound like a positive.” I bring her in close, bow my head so that my lips brush her ear. “What if it had been worse?”

“But it wasn’t,” she says, as the doors open on the parking garage.

Rebel walks ahead with Jackson, the two of them giving us space.

I catch her arm and bring her to face me. “If anything had happened to you it would have destroyed me. So we are done with trying to save everyone by going it alone, okay?”

“Dizzy was with me,” she murmurs. “I know she seems strange, but for some reason I trust her. So I wasn’t alone.”

“Yeah, well, I remember you not liking her when you first met,” I tell her as we start walking toward the Range Rover.

“I didn’t like her?” Ivy climbs into the back seat and I follow before shutting the door.

“You did not. And I don’t trust her. So she doesn’t count. I didn’t trust her before you told me about West. But with this new complication… she could be anyone, Ivy. She could be a really bad person. We don’t know anything about West.”

Her lips part. “But—"

“Just because he looks like me and Rebel doesn’t mean we’re anything alike. We have no understanding of what he wants. Your gut instinct when Ben introduced her was to be standoffish. We should have stayed that way.” I take her hand and twine our fingers.

“And I don’t know if that means anything, but I’m going to treat it like it does until we know more about her and this West.”

Jackson glances at me from the front seat. “I have information about Dizzy.”

Chapter Twenty-Two

Ivy

"Her legal name is Dizzy Sunshine, but prior to two years ago, Dizzy Sunshine didn’t exist,” Jackson says. “I searched everywhere I could. Talked to my contacts. I can’t pick up a trail earlier than that. Whoever she is… however she ended up Dizzy Sunshine… she must have powerful allies.”

"Allies like Nicole and Alec,” Rogue mutters.

“It’s very possible. Even highly likely.” Jackson offers me a sympathetic look. “I’m sorry, Miss Love. I know that isn’t what you want to hear.”

“What about West?” Rebel asks. “They’re supposedly siblings. How does that tie into all of this?”

“Adopted,” I say. “She said he was adopted.”

“I didn’t find anything on a sibling,” Jackson says. “Or parents. But I’m still waiting for some of my contacts to get back to me. It’s possible that if we find out who Dizzy was before she was Dizzy then that will be explained as well.”
