It is a great distance. We’re hours into the drive after I lastly ask, “The place are we going?”

He arrogantly states, “To my home. The place do ya assume we’re going?”

I do not know why I’d assume he would take me anyplace else. It isn’t like he will maintain me hidden. He’ll let all of Dublin and Belfast now he has me as his.

I encourage, “Caleb, please take heed to me. I did not imply to harm ya. And I do not know what ya assume ya know—”

“I do know every little thing, Lauren. I do know it is an O’Connor inside you and never an O’Leary. Do I must know anymore?” he interjects, scowling with hatred.

“It isn’t,” I say in my most convincing voice.

“Do not misinform me,” he screams, and the crazed look on his face intensifies.

I take a deep breath, pleading, “Please do not harm my child.”

He snorts. “Here is what is going on to occur.” He lights up one other cigarette and takes a drag. He blows the smoke towards me and asserts, “You are going to marry me. The newborn might be named Caleb. He’ll be referred to as my son, and ya is not going to inform anyone something totally different. Do ya perceive me?”

My whole physique quivers. My chest tightens to the purpose I can barely breathe. “Please, Caleb. Simply let me go. Ya don’t desire me. There are such a lot of ladies higher for ya than me.”

He grunts. “Oh, I do know there’s higher lasses on the market, however you are still going to be mine. No matter I say for the remainder of your life, you may do. And if ya dare disobey me, that abomination inside your stomach pays for it.”

Tears proceed to fall down my face, and I flip again to the window, not desirous to be on this place however unable to determine get out of it.

Now, my destiny is totally different than what I wished. All the pieces I used to be afraid of is coming to fruition, besides it is a thousand instances worse.

Mum. Maeve. They each betrayed me. It hurts what they’ve carried out. And I vow to make them pay, despite the fact that I’ve by no means thought-about myself vengeful. But the traces have been crossed. They took issues too far, and now my youngster is in peril. So if it kills me, I’ll finally determine make them remorse ever telling Caleb something.

My solely considered maintain my son protected is to search out Devin, however that also scares me. I want I knew the O’Connors would not take my child, however I do not know what to imagine.

I must take my probabilities with Devin.

How?

I curse myself for eliminating my cellphone. I do not know his quantity. Plus, I doubt Caleb’s going to present me a cellphone. I will turn out to be his prisoner.

Sooner or later, I go to sleep. It is hours later after we lastly pull as much as Caleb’s mansion.

“Get out,” he orders, jerking the door open so my physique virtually falls out of the automotive.

I groggily sit up, realizing I am nonetheless on this nightmare.

“Now,” he calls for.

I obey him, understanding there is not any level in doing something however what he desires. His home is filled with guards. Everybody works for him, and their loyalty is just to him. Nobody would dare disobey him. And despite the fact that I did not disobey him by leaving, he certainly sees it that approach.

He leads me up the steps and places me in a visitor room as an alternative of going to his bed room. It surprises me. He should be capable to inform from my expression.

He chuckles, then seethes, “Ya thought I might let ya in my mattress and provides ya the privilege of sleeping with me whereas that bastard’s in your abdomen?”

I protectively put my hand over my stomach, not sure what to say or what he has deliberate for me.

He shakes his head and mocks me, “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Lauren, what would your uncle Tommy have stated?”

I keep quiet, understanding my uncle Tommy can be simply as ruthless as Caleb. Neither man has any coronary heart or soul. I’ve recognized that for a very long time. And each of them hate the O’Connors greater than something.

“Strip,” Caleb calls for.

I stand frozen in shock.
