Chapter 69

• Harper's POV
• I feel sick. There’s a tight knot twisted low in my stomach and no matter how many times I try to breathe through it, it only grows heavier. Every part of me is screaming that I shouldn't be doing this. I know what this is. I know exactly why I’m being brought back. This weekend is not about pleasure, it’s about setting a trap, about pulling the truth from me now that they think they’ve cornered me.
• If I had seen the invitation in time, I would have rejected it without hesitation.
