Chapter 61: The Phone Call

Rowan began to shake as she held the phone up to her ear. That was a voice that she had never wanted to hear again. It was even worse than hearing Charles on the other line. As the man spoke, an image of his dark eyes flashing with almost sadistic humor came to Rowan's mind. He knew that people were afraid of him and really enjoyed their fear.

“H-how did you find me?” she stuttered out through a tight throat.

“I’m very good at finding people, Rowan. That is something you should remember," The man warned in such a jovial tone it could easily have been mistaken for politeness.

"What do you want?" Rowan asked and almost smacked herself for the stupidity of the question.

Then again, maybe playing stupid would be to her advantage. Bad guys underestimated stupid people, right? She thought to herself fearfully.
