“Good,” I said. “Now, let’s find ourselves the way out.”
“Haven?” Drake called out. “Pam? Dr. Hillshire?”
“They’re not here,” I said.
“How do you know?” Drake asked.
“Because if they were, they would be kept right there in the open so we could see them. That’s what they did with me,” I said. “Kidnappers want their victims to be seen so they can use it to get their ransom or whatever they’re trying to get. Hiding them lessen their credibility and advantage.”
Drake said, “Makes sense.”
“It was a red herring,” I said. “They led us here to distract us away from the real location where Haven and her mother is.”
“Damn,” Dillon yelled. “Fuck them!” He was breathing hard. “If they hurt Haven…I’ll fucking kill them!”
“I know,” I said. “I have so much to settle with them. They’re the same ones…”
“Mother?” Drake asked. “And you?”
“I could feel it,” I said. “When I walked in here. Same sick style. Same cruel sick sense of stupid fucking demented humor. Not funny at all, but to them, it seemed like it. They find this amusing. It makes my skin crawl thinking about that demented mind…who seemed to like control, obedience…when they couldn’t get it from me…”
I shuddered.
Drake grabbed my arm. Dillon tightened his grip on my hand. “Come on,” they said. “Let’s get out of here.”
I let out a shaky breath. These kidnappers were demented and dangerous. Deadly serious.
No ordinary small-time criminals.
Big business.
And deadly serious.
Haven didn’t know what she was getting into, especially if she thought she could negotiate her way out of it.
Help us God.
Chapter 14
Haven
I was numb all over. I still couldn’t believe what happened.
When it finally hit me that my mother and Max were in the building that just blew up, my legs became so shaky that I crumbled to the ground.
“Mom!” I cried out, sobbing. “Please God, help my mother! Someone please help her!”
I was trying to get up when I felt a hand reach out to help me up. I was expecting Max or even any of my Triton stepbrothers.
Even Terrence Triton.
But not the person I was staring in horror at, staring down at me coldly as though an entire building with my mother in it and Max had not just blown up.
This person was dead cold, and I knew without a doubt was the murderer behind Rose Triton, Penelope Hills, and now my mother Pamela Hillshire. Max.
And I would be next on the list.

Kaley
I could barely walk. My body was still craving his touch.
When I first saw him, casually checking his phone while dressed all in black cashmere top and pants, I almost fell for him. So handsome and so cocky like he owned the whole world in the palm of his hand. Damn he was so gorgeous. Bigger, more manly, and sexier. He was ripped before, but he was even more so now. I could feel all of his muscles when he pressed against me. Harder, tighter, and stronger. The years have been good to him after I left. He seemed older, more street smart than he was when he was just Seb, the hot senior and spoiled but pampered rich boy and Lord of the Manor.
What did he do after I left? Did he finally pursued his passion, like he said he wanted to do, if he didn’t have to help run the Keystone Empire? He was always so handsome in his suits, dressed like the conglomerate heir that he was. Seb had always been the Keystone whom I fell head over heels hard for. Out of all the brothers, he was the one who didn’t warm up to me until the end. Then it was like we couldn’t get enough of each other.
Except I had the other two Keystone brothers. Thomas with his bright grey eyes was like Seb, but also different from him. Ash with his amber eyes was completely different from his brothers.
Speak of the devil.
“Oh Kaley,” a familiar voice called out from the Den as I walked in. “Wow,” Thomas said, putting away the hardcover book he was reading and coming up to me like there was no rift between us. “Look at you!” His grey eyes devoured me from head to toe. “Is it really you?”
“Thomas,” I said, almost overwhelmed with emotions as I stared at the well-dressed man in front of me. He had a different haircut, cut with large bangs over half of his face, making his grey eyes more intense. He also wore glasses, making him look like a hot smart guy. He was dressed in a long-sleeved buttoned down shirt, a preppy V-neck sweater over his shirt, and black skinny jeans that were filled out with muscles. Then came his designer croc-skinned shoes. As serious as he was, he was always at the height of fashion, carrying off any look well. “Look at you, too,” I said, “Cute as a button. Going for that Baby Einstein look?”
Thomas actually laughed. “Maybe,” he said. “Depends on whether you find cute as sexy, too.”
I walked up to him and pinched his cheeks. “Hmm, on
