I take a swig of my beer and think about it. “Not sure. But she’s fuckin’ wanting me to take her back to him. Does that sound like a woman who was forced?” I ask, looking at Wave.

He shakes his head. “No, it doesn’t.” He sighs out a breath, and I let my head fall to the back of the couch, trying to make sense of my day.

“Fuck me,” Wave spits out.

And I agree. “Yeah, fuck me.”

Chapter Three

SERENA

What am I doing here?

How long does Harley plan to keep me captive?

Luca, oh God, what must he be thinking?That his new wife abandoned him on his wedding night and the day of his father’s death. What will he do? What will he think?

Crap, Harley has my phone.

Did he lock the door?

I need to get out of here.

Taking quiet footsteps to the bedroom door, I turn the nob, and it opens. I peek out of the bedroom and can hear the men downstairs talking.

Can I get out of here?

Can I escape?

Escape?I can’t believe I’m thinking about this. All I ever wanted was to be back with Harley again, and here I am, with him now. He’s come to take me back, and as much as I would love to be with Harley again, I can’t just vanish without a word.

I love Luca.

But I also love Harley.

How can I be torn between two men?

Luca is caring and loving, and when he makes promises, he follows through with them, unlike Harley.

But with Harley, it’s different. When we’re together, sparks ignite, and we can’t keep our hands off each other. It’s mind-blowing, and our relationship runs deep. He was my first love and the only man I’ve ever loved until Luca came into my life.

Not that he wasn’t in my life, but he was really like an annoying family friend, someone who became more to me—a companion, friend, and someone I could talk to. I owe him so much.

Don’t fool yourself, Serena. You know your feelings for Luca don’t come close to what you feel for Harley.

But what does that matter? I made my choice and married Luca, and I said I would love him for all the days of my life.

I need to get out of here and back to him.

There must be a way.

So, with that in mind, I decide to wait until everyone’s asleep, try to escape, and find the nearest phone to call Luca. He needs to know it wasn’t my choice to abandon him in a time of need.

Feeling exhausted, I lie on the bed to rest, and without realizing it, I fall into a deep sleep.

Light strokes on my face wake me, and I adjust to the light the lamp is emitting on the side table.
