Page 50 of Her Daddies' Everything

“I don’t get why Andy would try to kill me,” Maeve said. “He can’t be my stalker, right? He was here when I was attacked?”

Gray growled.

“Who was that?” Isaiah asked.

“Maeve’s friend,” Sampson said.

“Maeve’s boyfriend,” Immy added.

“What?” Isaiah asked.

“He turned up just after someone drowned Maeve,” Jenner explained.

“He saved her,” Immy said with a sigh. “It’s all rather romantic.”

Everyone stared at her incredulously. But Immy wasn’t going to take it back. Gray rescuing Maeve was just like something out of a fairytale. Or a romance book.

Immy despaired of ever having that. She’d found her prince charming when she was eight.

Unfortunately, she’d always be just his little sister.

Immy turned on the light in the kitchen.

She couldn’t sleep. And when she couldn’t sleep, she baked. Or she cleaned. But she’d already cleaned her room and bathroom, and she didn’t want to wake anyone up.

So she’d come downstairs. Thankfully, Jenner had sensor lights set up everywhere in the house and the drapes were all drawn.

Except for over the kitchen sink.

Cupcakes.

She stared out into the darkness. There was no reason to be scared.

Then she saw something outside. A flash of light.

Someone was there.

Oh God!

What was she going to do? What if it was Maeve’s stalker out there? He could be looking for her even though she’d headed back to Montana with Gray several days ago.

For some reason, Alejandro had left a couple of his men here.

Wait . . . could it be one of them?

Maybe she should just go and get Sampson . . . but if it was one of Alejandro’s guys then she’d wake him for no reason.

That flash of light grew brighter and then disappeared.

And someone knocked on the door.

She let out a squeal, then placed her hand over her mouth.

She stood there, frozen, as the door handle turned and then a man walked in. Immy worked up a scream, but it couldn’t escape her mouth. There was nothing she could do . . . he was going to get her . . . hurt her . . .

Her breath came in sharp pants. She was going to be sick or pass out.
