Chapter Thirteen
Now that Raven was safe in Remyâs apartment, sheâd calmed down, certain sheâd overreacted to seeing Lance at the coffee shop. After all, sheâd been safe, surrounded by people, and he couldnât have hurt her even if heâd wanted to. But the moment sheâd seen him for the first time, her gaze meeting eyes that were so similar to Calebâs but lacked the warmth and humanity of the brother she loved, sheâd panicked. As Remy said, sheâd fed his need to scare her. But she was safe. At least for a while.
âRaven, I need you to pack your things.â Remy entered the room, a large suitcase in hand. âWeâre leaving town.â
She blinked, stunned. âWhat? No. I have work. You have work.â
âIâve got that covered. I put Stevie in charge of the bar and we have Pamela for the restaurant,â he said of the sub-manager under Raven.
She blew out a breath and did her best not to engage Remy in an argument when he obviously had a plan she wasnât aware of. So sheâd talk rationally, then sheâd engage. Hadnât she said she didnât want to run but live her life? But she couldnât deny she was scared of Lance, worried he was escalating or planned to. Remy might be a detective but sheâd watched enough television shows and real true crime documentaries to know Remy was right.
âWhere are we going?â she asked, as he lifted the empty but large piece of luggage, placing it on the bed.
âMy family has a compound on Cape Cod.â
âOf course they do,â she muttered. The Kanes had money and were wealthy in their world but the Sterling financial situation was beyond her wildest imaginings. Maybe when sheâd lived in Cassandra and her fatherâs home in Chappaqua she might have felt a little more comfortable at the idea of going to a compound but now? Sheâd been supporting herself on her salary and pinching pennies like the average New Yorker for so long, Remyâs type of money intimidated her.
Still⦠âI really want to argue with you. A part of me says I should stay and make a stand but the part of me that panicked when I saw Lance tells me to pack up and go. No more questions asked.â
He strode over and cupped her cheek in his hand. âI couldnât handle it if anything happened to you. So if youâre waffling on your decision, can you do this for me?â
She swallowed hard. Put that way, how could she resist? Sheâd never had anyone worry or care about her the way Remy did except Caleb and Cara. But Caleb was her brother with a child to be concerned about, and Cara was still, for most purposes, a teenager who focused only on herself.
Except, her sister had called this morning because sheâd heard about their motherâs visit and public spectacle. She was worried and wanted her to know she was Team Raven. Raven smiled at the thought of her caring sibling. They were the two reasons being adopted by the Kanes had been a good thing.
