“I've been in the hospital, staying close to Sarah,” I explained. “Lucas hasn't been home either.”

“What's going on?” Lucas whispered.

“James asked her to come back,” I replied. “Said she couldn't turn him down.”

“What?” His brows furrowed in anger.

“She's back at the manor,” I continued and turned my attention back to the phone. “Is he there with you?”

“He went to the bathroom to shower. I'm just sitting in the living room,” she replied.

“I'm on my way,” I said to her before hanging up.

“I'm coming with you,” Lucas said. “Meet me at my car.”

When we arrived at the manor, James was in the living room with Kate. She had put some space between the both of them, and he didn't even care.

“Olivia? Welcome back,” he said. “I didn't know you were going to be back.”

“What do you have on Kate?” I got straight to it.

“What are you talking about?” He asked and frowned. “She's here on her own wishes, isn't that right?”

“Right,” she replied nervously, but her eyes and expressions screamed for help.

Lucas stepped in, “What do you have on her, old man?”

“Again with the accusations?” James frowned and got to his feet. “Why don't you ask her yourself?”

Our eyes fell on Kate. Whatever it was, she was too scared to talk.

“Kate,” Lucas called out. “Just tell me what's going on and I'll help you.”

“He…because I doubted him, he started whipping and sleeping with me against my will…”

“Kate…” James called with a warning tone.

“Then he wrote things on my body, took pictures, and made me bow to him,” she continued despite his warnings. “When I left, he sent them to me, threatening to release them.”

“You stupid bitch,” James growled. “Maybe I should release them.”

“The reason I left was because he also laid his hands on Olivia,” Kate reported.

“You did what?” Lucas asked as his hands balled into a fist.

“Big deal. Olivia is one of them after all. I'm sure she's already used to the handling,” James said. “I mean even you can attest to that…”

Punch!None of us expected Lucas to hit his father. But he did a clean right hook across the face.

“You do not touch her,” Lucas warned as he got ready to hit again.

“That's enough,” I held his hand. “It's okay.”

“But he…”

“I know he didn't have his way with me. I also did the same thing you just did,” I explained.
