“I know you… you visited me in the hospital, didn’t you?”

“Awww.you aren’t supposed to remember that. I didn’t want to do this.”

“Remember this… don’t come looking for me… you never recognized me… and stay away from Kayden

“Then I will leave you alone. You will be safe from me, so long as you promise to do the things I just s

Then darkness.

I slowly open my eyes, scared of what I will find.

Was I kidnapped?

Was I raped? Molested?

Will I be able to go back to my son?

Oh God! I will only ask for my life for my son. Nothing else.

“There she is,” I hear a female’s voice say.

I find myself staring at a beautiful redhead. I recognize her as the woman who’s grinding her a*s un Ethan.

“What the hell? What is she doing here? Who is she?

I sat up, but the redhead holds me by my shoulder, pushing me back to the couch.

“Easy there,” she says. “You’ll fall dizzy.”

“It’s okay, sweetheart,” I hear Ethan’s familiar voice say. “I’m here

The redhead moves away y and Ethan takes her place to o sit in the chair beside mine.

“Where are we?”

“We are in Amber’s office, She owns this club,” Ethan replies.

No wonder she seems used to grinding her ass on the dance floor.

“Don’t let that fool you, though,” Amber says, with a frown on her face. “I’m also a licensed doctor.”

Oh! I would not have guessed that.

“What happened to me? I thought… I was kidnapped.”

“We wanted to know from you. I found you sleeping on couch seating outside the bar. What do you mean you thought you were kidnapped.”

“There was a man,” I reply. “I followed him out. And then he.. drugged me, I fell dizzy.”

“Why would you follow him,out?” Whether Ethan was jealous or angry, I am not sure from the tone of his voice.

“I thought I thought I recognized him.”

“And?”

“I was right. He’s the guy who went into the my room in the hospital. He tried to kill me.

Ethan turns to the Amber. “We’re gonna have to turnover the CCTV footages to the police. I want this guy caught.”

“I’ve already ordered my security team to take care of that.” Amber nods,

Ethan turns to me. “What else did he say?”

“And…

Do I tell Ethan that the guy told me to stay away from Kayden?

“He told me to stop looking for him, and we’ll be good. He’ll leave me alone.”

“S*n of a b8tch!” Ethan curses. “He doesn’t get to ask that!

“Of course, he does! That’s what all potential kidnappers say. Don’t bring the police. Come alo watch more TV.” Amber says rolling her eyes.

I feel something uneasy inside my chest. I cannot place it, I somehow feel that I am not going a lan of this woman.

“What time is it, anyway?”

“Eight AM,” Ethan replies.

“Gees! I’ve been out a long time.”

“Are you okay?” Ethan asks me. I cannot even describe how wormed he looks.

“Of course, she is. The effects of the sedative she drank has already worn out,” Amber answers for n

“I drank a sedative?” I echo in disbelief. “He put something in the handkerchief he shoved on my face.”

Amber laughs. “That’s a myth, sweetie. You can’t instantly knockout someone by putting chloroform in the handkerchief. At that rate, you’ll probably die of asphyxiation before you get knocked out. Geez! He put the handkerchief on your mouth to prevent you from screaming. But what knocked you out is what he put in your drink.”

Huh?

I scan my brain. Did I take the drink he offered me? I don’t specifically remember doing so. But how did the sedative get into my cocktail?

Ethan reaches out and cups my cheek with his palm.

“It’s alright, sweetheart,” he says in a soothing voice. “Don’t think about it much. I’ll talk to the police. You don’t have to worry.”

I nod. Ethan stands up and turns to Amber. “Watch her for me. I just talk to the police.”

Amber doesn’t say anything until Ethan exits the room. “So, it’s nice to finally meet the great Cassie Carlisle,”

“Excuse me?” I raise a brow at Amber.

“Ethan wouldn’t shut up about you when we were in college,” she continues. “Makes me think you’remazing and stunning, it will make every woman pale in comparison. That’s how Ethan describes you-his drea

“I’m sorry to disappoint you,” I say. “Ethan must have exaggerated.”

“Indeed, he did.” she snorts. “He thinks the world of you. Unfortunately, you don’t feel the same al

I struggle to sit up from the couch. “Excuse me. Obviously, you and Ethan know each other well.”

“Oh, we go way back. I know Ethan more than anyone else.””

“Did you date or something?”

“As a matter of fact, we did,” she says. “I was the girl he dumped the moment you came back int

She rolls her eyes. “Oh, please! You don’t have to feel sorry for me. I’ve moved on since. You way, I only danced with him a while ago to make you jealous.”

She laughs. “Mine, of course! Ethan would never do anything to hurt you. You should give hi he can break the hearts of many other girls, mine included.” She shakes her head. “But no. He hurt you.”

I remember he sent me a message. He was asking me to call him. Because if I don’t call, he’ll assume that I have chosen Ethan.

I sigh heavily.

In truth, I shouldn’t care about what Kayden thinks. If he’s disappointed or heartbroken, he deserves it. But then… have I really given up on us? Or do I simply need time to sort out my feelings for him?

Well, for starters, I should text him. I know it’s more than eight hours too late, but I can still try.

I take my phone from the table on the side. I find it turned off, though I do not remember doing so. It must have been low in battery.

“Do you have a charger I can borrow?” I ask Amber.

“I don’t think you need it. Ethan charged it a couple of hours ago

“Oh, thank you.” I turn on my phone.

“By the way, that model, Megan Brown? Aren’t you her stepsister or something.”

“Yeah.”

“You should give her a call. Seems congratulations are in order. it’s all over social media.

“What?”

But Amber simply motions at my phone.

I open socials and scan for Megan’s profile. And there, I see her post:

“I am so happy to share with you a very good news! Finally! He popped the question and I said yet! I’m going to be Mrs. Megan Steele!”

After reading that, I dropped my phone to the ground.
