Without so much as another word to anybody else, I gather my things and rush out of the boardroom. I know that if I leave the building, Darian will catch up to me. What if he kidnaps me? What if he decides to kill me? The safest place right now is Katherine’s office.
I rush past her startled assistant and my own team members, who have been waiting in the corridor. I hear my name being called, but I ignore it. Slamming Katherine’s office door behind me, I drop everything in my hands and fall to my knees beside the wastepaper basket in the corner, proceeding to throw up in it. It’s only after I’ve emptied the contents of my stomach that I sit on the floor, panting. My whole body feels cold.
How do I protect my daughter? There’s no way Darian is going to leave her alone. Mary never tells me
