Cassandra’s POV “What’s the address?” Cam asked as I stared at my phone in utter disbelief. I still couldn’t believe this was happening. Who would kidnap Stella? And why?“You can’t come,” I said, looking up at him, my eyes wide with shock.“What do you mean I can’t come?” he asked.“The person on the phone said I have to go alone.”The instructions had been very clear.Ping.A text came through the assigned meeting place. I scanned it.“I can’t let you go alone,” Cameron told me. “It’s not safe. You have no idea who you’re dealing with.”I shook my head. “Then what will you have me do? Stella’s life is on the line, Cam. You saw the texts. I have to follow their directions perfectly or they’ll kill Stella.”Cameron sighed deeply and began to pace. It was coming on rush hour and the street was becoming jam-packed with cars as people left their jobs for the day. I had to go now, otherwise I risked being stuck in traffic.“I’m sorry,” Cameron finally said. “But I’m coming with you.”“No,

Cassandra’s POVI drove to the assigned place, my hands gripped firmly on the steering wheel. I told myself over and over to just stay calm, that I could do this. Part of me couldn’t believe that this was really happening. I was on my way to meet kidnappers. It felt so surreal.I was aware that Cameron was tailing me, but he was doing a good job of keeping his distance. I only saw him once or twice in the rear view mirror.The address brought me to a docking area right by the water. It was isolated. I saw the two men in black waiting by a shipping container. It looked like a scene out of a movie.Oh god, was that where Stella was? Inside a shipping container? Was she hurt? Was she okay?I pulled up close, my heart pounding in my chest.“Get out,” one of the men ordered.I did as he said, assuming he was going to bring me inside the container. But just then, a car pulled out from behind the container.The windows were tinted so I couldn’t see who was driving.“Get in,” one of the men sa

Cassandra’s POVEllie smiled at us both smugly.“Ellie?” Stella gasped. But I wasn’t surprised. I’d suspected that Ellie behind this right from the start. She’d gone missing after she was bailed out of jail. I knew how much she hated me and her hatred was too deep for her to just let things go. Jordyn had been trying to track her down, but I’d had a sinking suspicion that she was just waiting to make her next move.As soon as I received the text message informing me that Stella had been kidnapped, Ellie was the first person I thought of. I didn’t say anything to Cameron about my suspicions. I didn’t see the point. Instead, I’d called Jordyn as soon as I got in my car to meet the kidnappers.I told him about the text messages.“You think Ellie is behind this?” he’d asked, his voice tight.“I do,” I confessed to him as I drove through the streets. I told him I was on my way to meet Stella’s kidnappers. He got angry and told me that was too dangerous. I defended my decision. Stella was my

Dillon’s POVThere was a loud knock on my door. Cameron looked up from his phone with a quizzical look. We were at my house, in my kitchen, studying the pictures that Cassandra had forwarded us from her phone.Cameron had tried to tail Cassandra’s kidnappers, but they’d lost him pretty easily. He was furious at himself when he called me back for losing them, but I assured him that he’d done his best. I told him to come to my house so we could go over everything that had happened and come up with a plan.The person knocked again.“Who the hell could that be?” Cameron asked.“It’s Jordyn,” I told him. Cameron lifted an eyebrow.“You can’t be serious,” he told me. “Why is he here?”I sighed deeply. Yes, Jordyn wasn’t my favorite person in the world. But Cassandra and Stella were in trouble. So I decided to put aside our differences so we could focus on finding them.“I called him,” Dillon said. “I think he can help. And honestly, don’t we need all the help we can get right now?”Cameron t

Cassandra’s POV“Ellie, you can’t possibly blame my family for your parents’ death,” I said. Ellie was pacing around the small room, a menacing look in her eye. Stella was standing beside me, clutching my wrist.“Of course I do,” she said. “Who else is there to blame?”“I’m very sorry that that happened to you,” I told her. “But I don’t see what I can do…”“Shut up,” Ellie snapped. “I know what you’re going to say, you righteous bitch. You’re going to yammer on about how kidnapping you won’t make up for my parents’ death.”I snapped my mouth shut. That was exactly what I was going to see. An uneasiness washed over me. What were Ellie’s intentions, really? What was she planning on doing to us?“You’re going to tell me that two wrongs don’t make a right,” Ellie scoffed. She stopped pacing and faced us, a maniacal smile on her face. “But I think they do,” she said, her smile spreading wide across her face. “I believe in ‘an eye for an eye.’ That’s why I brought you here.”“Cassandra,” Ste
