How had Rowan disappear so quickly?
As Rowan stepped out of Lucian's apartment building, with his jaw tightly clenched in anger, two figures suddenly appeared from the shadows on either side of the entrance.
They had been waiting. And before Rowan could even process what was happening, strong hands gripped his arms.
"What the hell?!" Rowan snapped, trying to jerk away.
But the men were too strong, too coordinated, and within seconds they had manhandled him toward a black SUV idling at the curb.
The door opened from inside, and Rowan was shoved inside with enough force that he stumbled onto the leather seat.
The door slammed shut behind him and the vehicle started moving immediately, pulling away from the curb with an unbelievable smoothness.
Rowan's heart was pounding as he straightened up, ready to demand answers, ready to threaten these men with everything his family name could bring down on them...
Then he saw who was sitting calmly in the seat across from him.
Ava.
