I watched the helicopter take off, climbing higher and farther, and my heart was in full panic mode. “Aaron, you’ve got to save Lena! You-”

But the rest of my words got stuck. The cold truth hit me-if Aaron didn’t follow their demands, Lena was still in danger.

And the worst part? That danger came from Hayden-the guy I loved, the father of my kid.

“Rea,” Jace’s voice broke through my spiraling thoughts as he walked up to me. “Do you trust Hayden?”

Of course, I trusted him. But the way he acted just now… it wasn’t him. Not the Hayden I

knew.
