Chapter 114

Quality Farther

Lana’s POV

The car sped down the dark road, the trees whizzing by like ghosts in the night. My heart was still racing from the escape, but a strange calm washed over me as we drove away from the cabin. Matt’s grip on the wheel was tight, his knuckles white as he focused on the road.

“What happened back there?” he asked, glancing at us in the rearview mirror.

I opened my mouth to explain, but Leo beat me to it. “Sarah and Donovan’s new wife—she’s been tracking us. We had to run.”

Matt frowned. “Why would she be after you guys?”

I swallowed hard, remembering the anger and jealousy in Sarah's voice when we were at the lodge. “I don’t know, but she seemed determined to find us. We couldn’t stick around to find out.”

As we drove, the silence in the car felt heavy. I could see the concern etched on everyone’s faces. Donovan, who was sitting in the front with Matt, looked tense, his jaw clenched.

“We need to figure out our next move,” he said, turning to look at us.
