Page 206 of Her Daddies' Everything

Dev grunted, then he got up, leaving the cream on the bar, and left.

Well, that was weird.

With a sigh, she grabbed the cream and set it back in her handbag. Then she started moving toward the door.

Shoot.

What was she doing here? Even if her mind was a big mess over Tobias and Jenner, she shouldn’t have run out like that.

Sure, the copycat Deity was in the custody of the FBI, so there was no real danger anymore.

But it wasn’t exactly a rational or mature thing to do.

Immy walked to the door. Shoot. It was dark out. She really didn’t want to walk out there. But she needed to get home. She grabbed her Taser, holding it as she headed to her car.

There was a revving noise and she paused, glancing up as a small car raced out of a parking space. Wow. Someone was in a rush. She started moving to her car again.

Some instinct inside her told her to hurry.

Move, Immy!

Move!

But she was too late, the car was on her. It braked at the last moment, but still tapped her, sending her flying to the ground.

Pain flooded her.

It stole her breath. It made her heart race. Her hip and wrist screamed in agony, the side of her body that she’d landed on was a close echo.

She suddenly became aware that the car lights weren’t on. What was going on? Was the person going to get out and help her?

A bad feeling filled her again.

Move, Immy!

Move!

Where was her Taser? A sob escaped her as she attempted to drag herself across the asphalt.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

She glanced up in shock to see a woman standing over her. A woman she knew.

“L-Lauren? What . . . what are you doing?”

“You stupid bitch! What am I doing? I’m paying you back for ruining my life! Come on. There’s someone I’m taking you to.”

“I don’t . . . I don’t understand,” Immy said.

Keep her talking.

If she takes you anywhere, you’re dead.

Although she failed to see how Lauren could move her. She was tiny.

“What are you doing?”

“I just told you! God, you’re so fucking dumb! You ruined everything, you stupid bitch. Jenner was supposed to be my cash cow. I was going to make him famous and rich. He was supposed to get involved with Amaya. She would have helped his career. All you will do is hinder it.”
