Lauren: Everything has fallen apart. Rye McAllister is gone, kidnapped off the island. Glee just told me things about myself that blew my mind. I know sheās trying to manipulate me. She wants something from me, but I donāt have time to figure out what. The only thing I care about is getting Rye back. Iām terrified that heās in danger. That Iāll never see him again. Never tell him how much I love him. I donāt know who took him or why. To get him back Iāll have to take the biggest risk of my life. Can I trust myself to be the person Rye needs me to be?
Rye: Unbelievable. Iām being held hostage at an estate in Vermont belonging to someone I thought I knew. Iād find a way out, except for one thing. Threats are being made against Lauren. I canāt allow anything to happen to her. So Iāll go along with these ridiculous demands. Iāll pretend to be engaged to a drug-addled heiress. Iāll bide my time until I find out all the secrets being kept from me. Then the tables will turn and all hell will break loose. Iām a McAllister and no one messes with the woman I love. I just hope to God we both live to see each other again.
