Chapter 16: Drugged
Asher's POV
Asher's heart ceased to beat as he watched Summer slump forward into his arms as the drug Sarah had given her took effect.
The fear he saw in her eyes right before they closed left him shaken to his very core. It was something he had never seen from her before, not even when her stepfather was at his worst.

Her head was spinning and she felt like she was going to hurl, but she kept her face calm as she did her best to not show any weakness. "Now." Jackson said narrowing his gaze on her. "Summer, did you have anything to do with what happened this evening?" She looked to Michael who was watching her with bloodlust in his eyes, his face rigid, jaw clenching and unclenching. Summer was sure if her father hadn't arrived when he did she would already be dead. "Ask his mistress." She spat ripping her gaze from Michael and looking to a now sobbing Sarah. "It wasn't me!"
