driver, “I’m taking
Ms. Wells to the other car.” Dave shook his head but said nothing.
    Langdon helped me from the car and into the
backseat of the other Mercedes. He quickly entered, sliding beside me.
    “What were you thinking?” Jayden asked. He was
looking at me with total disappointment on his face.
    I wanted to crawl under the seat with more than
embarrassment. For someone who avoided attention I sure made a spectacle of
myself. I knew there would be pictures of me and Langdon scaling the side of
the building, coming down the fire escape.
    “I don’t know. I am so sorry for all of this. I
should not have left the estate,” I admitted, pressing my face into my hands.
    Langdon’s phone rang.
    “Mr. Cain,” he said as he answered it.
    Oh no, I knew I was in huge trouble.
    “Yes, sir, I have her now,” Langdon replied.
    Langdon was silent. I heard the low buzz of
Cayden’s voice vibrate through Langdon’s phone. Cayden was pissed off, although
I could not tell what it was he was actually saying.
    “I don’t know, sir. She was in quite the
predicament, the press was en mass,” Langdon replied.
    My gaze flitted toward Jayden. I am sure I
looked wide-eyed and shocked like a deer caught in the headlights.
    “No, she is not harmed, a little shaken up but
not harmed,” Langdon said. “Yes, sir. Our ETA twenty minutes.”
    This was bad,
extremely bad. Cayden did not ask to speak with me. He must be far too angry to
speak to me right now.
    “I am sorry, Langdon. I hope you and Jayden are
not in as much trouble as I am,” I said. “How mad is Cayden?”
    “He is very upset,” Langdon said.
    “You guys will be okay, right? I didn’t get you
or Jayden in trouble, did I?”
    “Jayden and I are fine. You do not need to worry
about us, but you do need to be careful in what you do and where you go.”
    I shook my head in agreement. It was quiet for
the rest of the ride back to the estate.
     
     

 
    Chapter Two
     
    He Might Just Kill Me
     
    When I walked through the doors, entering into
the foyer of the estate, Zander and Melissa were waiting for me.
Chandler
popped out of
the media room, glared at me with a scowl as if he was mad, shook his head in
obvious disappointment, and walked back the way he had come.
    “Winter, are you okay?” Zander asked.
    “Yes. I was stupid, and I know it. I really owe
everyone an apology. I am sorry for making such a scene. I feel horrible. It’s
just, I really did not believe anyone would notice me or even care if they did
notice. I was wrong. I should have listened to everyone.”
    “I’m glad you are all right,” Melissa said
softly.
    “Zander, how mad is Cayden?” I asked.
    Zander looked at me for a moment without
speaking then said, “I do not know if I have ever seen him so….” He seemed to
be pondering his words. “Upset.”
    “Cayden is here,” Melissa interjected in a quiet
voice.
    I glanced down at the floor and shook my head.
“Here?” I echoed quite flatly.
    Zander shifted his weight, relaxing a bit before
he said, “Yes, we called off the shoot for today. When you did not answer
Cayden’s phone call, he called here to the estate. Jayden started looking for
you and, of course, he did not find you. Cayden went a little bit nuts hearing
that news. When you called Jayden well…let me just say that was very difficult.
Cayden has been here at the estate for a little while. I believe he is in your
room, waiting for you.”
    “Zander, why did you call off the shoot? That
cost you money and further delays.”
    He raised both eyebrows as though my question
was ridiculous. “We were all worried about you, and there was no way Cayden
could continue. You better go show him you are all right.”
    I shook my head in agreement. “Okay.”
    My hand was shaking like a leaf when I reached
out for the doorknob to my room. The knob was warmer than my hand when I
touched it. I was freezing cold, probably due to the fact my blood seemed to
stop pumping from
