Levi didn’t respond, he just kept coming.

Would Wilson shoot him?

Probably, but right now, Levi didn’t give a fuck. All he felt was the bloodlust.

Wilson jerked his gun from the woman’s head and aimed it at him. She screamed and bit Wilson’s hand.

Wilson slammed the woman’s head into the wall.

Snick.

One week later…

Sara gazed at her doctor. “What do you mean?”

“Your stress is through the roof. It’s coming out in the panic attacks you’re experiencing and in your blood pressure,” Dr. Karen Cox said, swiveling her computer monitor around so that Sara could see the screen.

A chart and numbers were displayed, and she noticed the red when Dr. Cox placed her finger on the screen.

“What does that mean?” Sara gazed at the doctor with fear.

“It means if you’re not careful, you’ll jeopardize the baby and yourself.”

She left in a daze, not really seeing anything. Not even when Shane took her hand and walked her out of the building.

“What did she say?”

“I have high blood pressure,” she whispered, clutching the prescription the doctor had given her.

“It’s no wonder! You can’t marry Justin Clark,” Shane said, looking pissed.

“I already said I would.”

“So the fuck what? This isn’t the eighteenth century.” Shane tucked her into the car and closed the door. When her brother slid behind the wheel, he started the car, but didn’t put it in drive.

“You haven’t mentioned Levi since you came back,” he said.

“Don’t…” She held up her palm. “Don’t say his name.”

“Look, sis, I know he did something shitty, but he was also there for you when you needed him.”

She turned away and gazed out the window.

Sure, Levi had been there. He had saved her from being kidnapped. He had protected her from Kevin. He had made love to her as if she were the most important thing in the whole world.

And it was all a lie.

Levi had taken money to find her. He was getting paid to bring her back to her parents.

The only reason Levi had stopped the kidnappers was because Levi thought they worked for Kevin.

She knew that without a doubt. She was nothing more to him than a means for money.

Levi was the same as all the guys before, and she vowed to go it alone from now on.

Right now, though, she had to devise a plan to hide the baby.

That was going to be tricky.
