"Mr. Blake, Tom afraid I have to report that Aria and than are no longer at the Shaw residence.
"What do you mean, no longer there? "Victoria Shave relocated them yesterday. The family's vehicle was last seen heading east, but disappeared in an area without surveillance coverage." A cold suspicion crept up my spine. Someone had warned them. Someone had betrayed me.

"You know why I've kept you around all these years, David." "You instructedto protect Angela's safety," he replied carefully. Im concerned for her too.

The words flowed out ofwith strange serenity. For the first tsince Angela's accident, I felt a calm certainty settling over me.
"Even in death," I said softly, "she'll e'll stay by my side." I smiled-a genuine smile that seemed to frighten David more than my anger. The fear in his eyes meant nothing to me. Nothing mattered except keeping Angela with me, by any means necessary.
After David left, I remained in the study, savoring the silence. The harsh ring of my phone shattered my contemplation. The caller ID displayed a number I rarely saw: my grandfather.
"Grandfather?" I answered, irritation evident in my tone.

"You don't cale?" His voice rose again. "You're the Blake family heir! You represent our entire family's image!" The hypocrisy ignited my fury. "Where was this concern for the family image when my father was disgracing himself? When he was caught with that stripper? Did you lecture him about family reputation then?" "Christopher, enough!" he thundered. “Release her immediately!" "You have no right to command me," I replied, ice in my veins. "If you wantto release her, keep dreaming." I ended the call and powered off my phone, cutting myself self off from further interference. Who were they to dictate my actions?
