TAKEN BY THE DARK

I'd exposed not only myself but the whole Anderson family. I'd practically told Dominic that he had leverage against Mr. Anderson. I knew he wouldn't hesitate to use anything he had against Michael Anderson, and right now that thing was me. My own stupidity had gotten me in this situation. I had no idea how I was going to get myself out now.


"Dominic wants to see you. Right now, party's over." I heard Bryan's sneering voice.


I felt the color drain from my face. Why was I even surprised I'd known this was coming? I felt someone squeeze my arm, it was Rachel. She was looking at me with sympathy. I felt something cold and metal press into my palm, I looked down to see her pressing a small revolver into my hand.


"To protect yourself." She explained "Hide it." Her voice was urgent.


I felt relieved, at least I had someone on my side. I quickly put the revolver in the purse I was carrying.
