One moment, Victoria was leaving the Plaza Hotel after a delightful afternoon tea with friends. The next, two large men in dark suits were flanking her, one on each side, their hands firm on her arms.
"What....let go of me! Do you know who I am?"
"Miss Ashford," the one on her left said calmly. "We need you to come with us. Mr. Blackwood wants to see you."
"Damien? He wants to see me?" Hope flared in her chest. Maybe he'd finally come to his senses. Maybe he'd realized that Aria wasn't worth.....
"Get in the car, Miss Ashford."
It wasn't a request.
The car was a black SUV with tinted windows. They put her in the back seat, and Victoria's initial hope started to morph into concern when she realized they weren't heading toward Blackwood Enterprises or Damien's estate.
"Where are we going? This isn't the way to Damien's office."
The men didn't answer.
