And surprise, surprise, her father was standing at the entryway to the massive house. I took off my helmet and walked over.

“What did you find out?” Kayden asked me, his body tense and his voice demanding.

“I was given another message with a note that told me to meet them alone at a specific place and time, or they will hurt her. I would show you the note, but… let’s just say it’s not something she would want her dad or mom to ever see. There are photos that aren’t… decent.” I tried to be as subtle as I could, but at the end of the day, they should know the gravity of the situation she was in as well. “I’m here to talk with you and your wife about what I was thinking about doing. If you’re down to talk about it. I know things were tense before. But what’s important is getting her back safe if possible.”

I waited for him to speak. It took him a moment.

“Come in. I’ll go get my wife, and you can tell us exactly what the note said. We will figure out how to get our daughter home safe.”

Kayden walked me into their house and into an office space not far off from the front door. Then, he left, and a few minutes later, he and his wife sat across from me. I showed her the envelope because I had a feeling she wouldn’t let me leavewithout seeing it. She looked inside without pulling anything fully out so Kayden wouldn’t see, and her eyes closed at the photo of Rosalie naked and crying.

“Turn yourself over to them then,” she snapped.

“Are you fucking crazy? There is no way I’d live, and there is no guarantee that they would let Rosalie go after that.” If that was their option, it was a fucking waste of time coming here.

“I know that!” she said coldly as she glared at me. “Don’t you think I don’t know how dangerous the Suns are? But if there is even a small chance you turning yourself in ensured her safety, make no mistake, you wouldn’t be leaving here freely tonight. Sit there and let me make a couple of calls.” She got up and walked out of the room as Kayden stared after her. It was hard to read him.

It took a while, but she eventually came back.

“I made a few calls. Turns out there might be a reasonable head in the Suns after all still. And he might be willing to exchange her for cash instead of you. But it’s a risk for him. His new president wants your head, and turning you in would rank him up in his club. And if his president ever found out, he would be dead instead. He told me nothing bad is going to happen to her unless you don’t show up. That gives us a little bit of time to figure this out better.” Rose spoke calmly, but her mind must be racing. Anyone with a daughter in her situation would.

“So, what do we do tonight?” I asked.

“You do nothing. Go to the clubhouse. Just get out of my sight.” Rose stared me down with those ice-cold eyes of hers.

I stood, and Kayden walked me to the door.

“We’ll be in touch. I have your number.” And he shut the door in my face.

“Goddammit!” I growled.

I still took off. But staying at her house wasn’t going to fly, so I made the long drive to the clubhouse. But not even speedingcould clear my head tonight of all the thoughts of my girl racing through my mind.

CHAPTER 25

ROSALIE

I sat thereon the hard, cold floor on my knees with my head yanked back, completely naked, as two men stood over me, taking my photo with one of those little instant cameras. I had been crying as they removed my clothes from my body, thinking the worst was about to happen. Then, the new man said if I didn’t stop crying and screaming, they really would rape me, so I kept my mouth shut as best I could.

“Damn, her crying actually makes this look ten times better to include in the vice president’s little welcome package today,” my original captor told the other.

“Fuck yeah, it does. Are you sure we can’t enjoy this bitch?”

He pulled my head back harder, and I was met with a sneer and the outline of his erection in his pants close to my face. I whimpered and closed my eyes.

“Nah, the other sarge said don’t hurt her or use her, and he’s paying good on top of helping us get him, so for now, I’ll honor his request.”

My captor approached, and the guy behind me grunted and let go of my hair. Then, he knelt down in front of me and cupped my chin in his big hands.

“You are going to behave, right? We haven’t hurt you, just taken a couple of pictures. No sense in making this any worse for yourself, is there?”

He gripped my jaw, and I winced at the pressure.

“N-no…” I whispered as I looked at him. “Can I get dressed now?”

My eyes begged for him to say yes. It was super uncomfortable to be here, naked and in front of these two guys.

He looked in my eyes for a few moments longer then nodded. Helping me to my feet, he walked me back in my room, but when I went to grab my panties, he snatched them.
