Chapter 66

• —Ellie—
• Tristan nudged me lightly, and I walked closer to the door, keeping my body between him and the others. I walked backward to keep an eye on my family. They didn’t attack. They didn’t stop us. Dad and Mateo looked broken. I had landed the ultimate hit, had broken them. I wondered how Mom would react when she found out. She’d be crushed. My heart was heavy as I led Tristan to the parked car. He sank down on the passenger seat, passing out immediately.
• I closed the door and got behind the steering wheel. Isabella and Samuel were still fast asleep in their seats. I hit the gas and sent the car flying down the long gravel road. I quickly connected to Bluetooth and called the Sugar Trap. It was the only number I’d found on the Internet. It took a while before the guy I talked to agreed to call Damian and to give him my number. I was starting to go crazy.
