Chapter 6: The Blood Ties
Liam drove like a madman, the stolen pickup truck tearing through the slick city streets. Hold on, Chloe. Please, hold on, he prayed silently.
He arrived at the motel to find the door off its hinges. The room was trashed. Panic gripped his throat as he drew his weapon and stepped inside. "Chloe!" he yelled.
Silence. Then, a slow clapping sound echoed from the dark corner of the room. A tall man in a tailored suit stepped into the light. It was Marcus, Evelyn’s head of security and Liam’s former combat instructor.
"She's not here, Liam. She put up a hell of a fight, though," Marcus said smoothly. "Your mother wants you to come home. Give up this foolish rebellion, and maybe she'll let the girl live in an asylum instead of the ground."
"Where is she, Marcus?" Liam aimed the gun squarely at his former mentor's chest.
"You don't have it in you to pull that trigger, kid," Marcus scoffed, taking a step forward.
But Liam was no longer the pampered heir. The love for his wife and the rage against his mother had forged him into something lethal. Without a word, Liam fired. The bullet grazed Marcus’s shoulder, sending the large man crashing into the wall in shock.
Liam was on him in a second, pinning him down with a knee to his wounded shoulder. "Where is she?!"
Marcus groaned in agony. "Hangar 4! Your mother... she brought her there. She wants you to watch as the plane takes the baby... and then she's going to throw Chloe out of the plane over the ocean!"

Liam’s blood ran cold. Evelyn wasn't just trying to win; she wanted absolute, psychological destruction. Liam knocked Marcus out cold with the butt of his gun, grabbed the keys to Marcus's armored SUV, and raced toward the airstrip.
