Unfortunately, she was
right.
    “Look,” she started. “I need your help.”
    “Now, that’s better,” he said. “If you’re honest with
me, then maybe I can help you out.”
    “I’m being honest,” she rebutted.
    “Then what do you mean you need my help?”
    “I need your help to get out of here today,” she
explained, and from his reaction, she could tell that he was losing his
patience with her. Well, let him be angry , she decided. She wasn’t here
to please him. After all, she was only going to stay on the island for a few
days. And then, she would probably never see him again. She was astonished to
realize this last thought made her feel sad.
    He looked at her, hesitating for a moment and then
turned swiftly, ready to walk out the door. “Stay here. I’ll be right back,” he
said and then, he was gone.
    Jackie watched Michael leave the room, and it took all
the strength she could manage to sit back and wait until he came back.
    “Everything is settled,” he said. “The nurse will be
here in a minute to help you get dressed.”
    “Thank you,” Jackie said and breathed a sigh of relief.
    Half an hour later, Michael helped her out of the
hospital and towards his car. He watched her bite her lower lip to keep from
moaning and could tell she was in terrible pain. He knew it would get worse
when the pain killers wore off. She was the most stubborn person he’d ever met,
and that made him furious. On the other hand, he couldn’t help but admire the
way she endured the pain.
    He helped her in the car, tormented whether he should go
ahead and take her with him or turn around and take her right back inside the
hospital. The doctor, however, had reassured him she was perfectly fine, and
the CT scan had shown nothing to worry about. Still, he was instructed to keep
an eye on her for the next few days and to take her right back to the hospital
if she felt dizzy or nauseated.
    He closed Jackie’ door and walked around the black
Mercedes. He opened the driver’s side door and sunk into the soft leather
driver’s seat. He started the engine, fully aware she was watching him. Trying
to keep his eyes on the road and not make any sudden moves that would cause her
more pain, he carefully navigated the car out of the hospital’s parking lot.
    Out on the main road he was able to relax, as there wasn’t
much traffic and he didn’t have to worry about sudden turns and maneuvers.
Jackie leaned back against the headrest, closed her eyes, and kept silent.
    Michael glanced at her and kept silent, as well. His
mind kept going back to everything that had happened in these last few months
and especially in the last twenty-four hours. He needed answers, and he needed
them right now. And the last thing he’d expected when he came out here was to
find a beauty like this breaking into the Demiris mansion.
    Who is she? And if
she’s telling the truth about being a relative of Constantinos, why break in? His
logic told him she couldn’t be trusted—after all she had already escaped from
him once—while his instinct told him otherwise. But was it really his instinct?
Or, was it the fact that she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in
his life? His thoughts flew back to the very first moment he laid eyes on her.
He was taken aback by the lovely face with the beautiful eyes and the sensuous
lips. And then his gaze had moved to the soft golden-brown hair barely touching
her shoulders and the sexy body with the womanly curves that were so obvious
underneath her jeans and blouse, which hugged her body like a glove.
    Trying to control his thoughts from whirling into
forbidden territory, he suddenly realized she’d opened her eyes and was staring
at him. “So, where did you learn Greek?” he asked, still astonished having
heard her thanking the doctors and the nurses in perfect Greek.
    Jackie looked at him sideways, biting her lower lip.
    “It’s not a trick question!” he burst out, getting tired
of her constantly
