Chapter 425: Friday. Soweto, South Africa.

COCO LEANED AGAINST the front passenger seat, her arms tied to the headrest with a collection of zip ties that were cutting into her skin.

Ebrahim was quiet now. He'd spent well over half an hour yelling at her as he drove the stolen car toward the city.

If she'd just gone to check on the pangolins by herself like she'd wanted to, maybe this wouldn't have happened. In the split second when she'd first seen Ebrahim, she hadn't thought about herself. No, she'd first thought about Lacey. How she'd confided that maybe she wasn't as anti-baby as she'd been. That maybe her and Shane would start a family. Then there was Cane. He was her twin and regardless of what he'd done to her, he did good things. People believed in him.

Coco could not risk their lives.

There'd been no choice for her except to go with Ebrahim, for their sake.
