KATY’S POV My heart flutters violently in my chest. My stomach turns, and what I ate for breakfast rises fast enough that I have to swallow hard. Braydon has been taken by his father, of all people. And I have no idea what to do. Part of me wants to ignore every warning and call the cops. It feels like the obvious choice, the right one. But I know his father too well for that. He is the most predictable man I’ve ever encountered. Predictable enough that I know he would kill Braydon if it came to it. Predictable enough to believe that if he can’t have Pendant, then neither of them will. He has nothing left to lose and everything to gain. I force my hands to stay still, stiffening the tremor out of my fingers. This is hard….too hard. I could call the cops and ask the hotel to pull CCTV
