A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) novel Chapter 18

Sara POV

The name of the place is spelt "Rain resort," according to the little paper in my hand. It definitely belonged to Nick. As I sped on behind them, I realized how far in the outskirt of Orphic town I've come. A precise forty-minutes drive from our house. Which means the resort is only ten minutes away from the very place my father intended for us to move to.

How fucking ironic! We were actually planning to run towards the person we wanted to avoid. Well, we aren’t moving anywhere now, are we? He’s got my Alex.

I lost sight of them the moment we entered the resort. Rushing into the lobby like a deranged woman, I stamped my hand on nonchalant clerk's desk to get his attention. Two minutes later, I'm riding an elevator marked Private to Nick's suite.

“We’re here, Miss,” the bellboy announced.

His words were accompanied by a ding as the door slid open to reveal a place that looked quite similar to Nick’s living room back in L.A. If the name of the resort isn’t enough, the interior design proves it quite well that the place is his.

“You were supposed to call first, Sara,” Nick said.

“Where's my son?” I snapped.

“OUR son. He’s where I want him to be,” he replied.

“He’s not ours, he’s mine! Give him back this instant!”

“Woah, I see the kitten grew claws, huh?" he mocked, eyes gleaming as they roam my face. "You'll see him after we talk. Have a seat.” He motioned towards a couch.

“I'll stand! Where is he? Alex! Baby!” I started screaming, walking around the vast room and poking my head on all the doors I can see.

“Sara!” Nick called with an urgency in his voice. I ignored him and kept screaming for my child. Soon, I feel a large hand encircle my arm as he started to drag me to a sofa.

"Let go of me!" I yelled.

His hand remained clasped around my arm as he pulled me towards the sofa and tossed me onto it.

“Sit!” he commanded.

I landed with my face against a fluffy pillow, convulsing as the tears threatened to choke me.
