Chapter 24

Samantha's POV

In the confined area I've been held hostage at, I paced up and down, throwing my fist into my palm once in a while. Ryan's guards stood around to keep an eye on me and I felt helpless. That feeling got me angry because of all things, I hated the feeling of helplessness. But anyone walking by would think we were just guards waiting on our boss. I had no idea that these guards would be here tonight. Their presence here definitely meant Ryan expected something would happen that needed their attention.

I shut out the voices around me while I tried to think about what just happened. I was mystified at the sudden turn of things. Adrian couldn't possibly do that to me.

"Even when he knew I despise him, he still loved me enough not to implicate me knowingly." I thought inwardly.

My forehead creased when the pitiful look on my uncle's face reflected in my mind. I stopped in my track.

"Did he possibly know something was gonna happen to me today?"
