Maybe in her previous life she’d been an evil overlord or something.
Concentrate on breaking North.
You don’t have time to break down and wallow in fear and the unfairness of your life. If you’re going to get out of here, you need to plan, to be smart.
Was she going to get out of here? If she did, she didn’t think she could live alone again.
Seemed like there was so much evil in the world that she’d be better off living out with her sister, her brother-in-law and his band of merry men and one whack job woman. She adored Honey, but she was a complete nutjob.
She’d be the first to say it too.
Maybe Zander was right to build a compound and house his family in a bunker. Look at what had happened to her after a few days of living out in the real world.
She’d been kidnapped.
“Sensitive? I’m . . . sensitive?” he repeated.
“Yeah, you’re sensitive. Everything I say you take offense to. You should learn to just let some things go. If I want to try your kind of therapy, then that’s what I’ll do. Frankly, you don’t really have a say in anything I do.”
“The lock on the door and the key in my pants says something different.”
“Hmm. The key is in your pants, huh?” She gazed down at his crotch.
“My back pocket,” he drawled. “And no, you’re not getting your grubby little hands on it.”
“Hey! Rude. I had a shower this morning. It is still the same day as you took me, right?”
“Actually, it’s the next day. You slept a long time.”
She had? Sheesh.
She guessed she hadn’t been sleeping that well lately. Although she’d thought she wouldn’t sleep soundly in a dungeon. Even if the bed was comfortable.
“Were you concerned? Were you worried that I wouldn’t wake up and then Jared would be mad at you?”
“Why would Jared be mad at me?” he asked curiously.
“Because he ordered you to kidnap me and I died.”
She still didn’t understand what Jared wanted with her. She didn’t think that she was of any use to him now. And why come after her all these years later?
Maybe because this is the first time he’s been able to get to you?
It could be that he’s been secretly in love with you this entire time. Maybe this is Romeo and Juliet.
Hmm. No. They both ended up dead.
What about Heathcliff and Catherine?
Nope. That ended in disaster too.
Yikes.
Rhett and Scarlett?
This was starting to sound ridiculous.
This is why she stuck to romance. Happy-Ever-After guaranteed. There wasn’t much in life that was guaranteed. But that was.
