at my side, lighting the area in its golden glow and that’s when I saw it. I was running straight for it, and I hadn’t even realised. Would I have seen it in time if the headlights hadn’t appeared?
    The large SUV veered off the road and onto the grass that I was running across. The headlights bounced crazily around me as the car closed in on me. It came to a halt as I reached the edge of the cliff. I was beyond dizzy as I stared over the ledge. It was a sheer drop below me, a drop that would kill anyone who went over it.
    “Bella, what are you doing?”
    Christopher’s voice rang out in the still night air.
    At the sound of his voice I found myself backing up. I could feel the cool wind as it whipped against my back. It was an eerie feeling, knowing that there was nothing behind you. Nothing that could save you, and if you went over then that really would be it. Was I willing to do that? Was I willing to go over the edge and lose all chance of Aidan ever coming for me.
    What would he do if he came looking for me and I was dead, dashed to pieces on the rocks below, killed on impact with the sea? Would it break his heart to know that I had jumped rather than just give him a chance?
    “You have to let me go…” 
    My voice shook, a mixture of fear and adrenaline. I didn’t dare take another step back, I was already far too close to the edge. And I didn’t know if the cliff was stable or not.
    “And why would I do that? You just got here… You and I haven’t gotten to spend any time together.”
    It was the way he said it, the way the tone in his voice suggested far more than what he was actually saying that made me take a small step back. I couldn’t see his face, he was simply a black shadow behind the glare of the lights. But I could imagine the look on his face, imagine the way his tongue flickered out to moisten his lips as he thought of all the ‘time’ we would spend together.
    “You can’t just do this. You can’t just take me and think that it’s alright. Aidan will come for me. He’ll find me and when he does…”
    Christopher’s laughter froze the words in my throat, choking me completely.
    “Come for you? Nah, he won’t be doing anything, anytime soon.”
    “What do you mean?”
    “He’s dead, Bella. Did I forget to mention that? I killed him before I came and got you. I told him about all the fun things you and I would get up to and then I blew his brains out.”
    “No, no you didn’t, you couldn’t have. Aidan’s not dead, he can’t be dead, I’d know it.”
    Christopher moved into the light, his boots crunching across the small spray of gravel near the cliff edge.
    “And how would you know? Are you psychic, Bella? I doubt that very much, but it would be fun if you were… You’d know everything I was going to do to you, even before I did.”
    I took another small step back, barely inching back to the edge of the cliff. Pebbles skittered from the edge, falling down across the rocks, disappearing into the dark waters below.
    “He’s not dead. And I’ll never let you have me.”
    I closed my eyes and sucked in a deep breath. I let my body go, for a second I seemed to hang in mid air, the wind buffeting against my back, holding me up. And then without warning I was falling, the wind whipped through my hair, pushing it into my eyes.
    Strong arms grabbed me, tugging me back as I struggled against them. But I wasn’t exactly a match for the man that had grabbed me. Christopher wrapped his body around mine as he tackled me to the dirt.
    I fought him, punching, lashing and kicking, he pressed my face into the dirt, driving the taste of sand and soil into my mouth. He pushed his hands against my ass, holding me down as his fingers slid lower.
    “Hold still or I’ll have you here like this, with everyone watching.”
    I grew instantly limp, my body quietening beneath his touch. I didn’t want him to ever ‘have’ me. I didn’t belong to him. But I knew none of that mattered. He
