“NOW!”

Knox and I grabbed our phones. Crying and shaking, we did it. I emptied everything I had—fifty-three thousand dollars, gone in an instant. Knox transferred everything he had as well.

When we were done, Silas looked up at us. “Thank you.”

And then he let go of Rowan. He just opened his hand and dropped my baby off the third-floor balcony.

My scream didn’t even sound human. It was a sound ripped from the deepest part of my soul. Silas ran inside, shoving Knox hard into the wall and me to the floor before sprinting out the front door.
