Isabel<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

September<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

19th<\/sup> Birthday<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richmond, Virginia<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSir. Sir<\/em>! You can\u2019t come in here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isabel Steele rolled her head so she could bury her face in the pillow. She hurt so bad, she would have curled into a ball to ease the pain in her belly, but even moving hurt, so she stayed still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If she had the energy, she would have told the well-meaning medical staff not to bother. Nobody<\/em> told Wilson Steele what he could and couldn\u2019t do, where he could and couldn\u2019t go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to speak to my daughter now<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She barely controlled a flinch at the whip that was her father\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then she forgot all about him as pain tore through her abdomen, arcing up through her spine, then down through her thighs. She tried not to scream, but the pain was too severe and her cries shattered the taut silence of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHere,\u201d a soft voice said and she opened bleary eyes to look at the kind nurse who\u2019d been with her almost since the moment they wheeled her onto the floor. \u201cSqueeze my hand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind her, she could hear Wilson berating the staff and demanding to speak to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe \u2026 \u201d She stopped and licked her lips. She was so thirsty. It felt like it had been days<\/em> since she\u2019d had anything to drink. \u201cHe won\u2019t leave. You can\u2019t make him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nurse\u2019s eyes glinted against light brown skin, almost like golden coins in their brightness. Leaning in, the woman lowered her voice, but the intensity never wavered. \u201cHoney, I know all about who your dad is. But he\u2019s met his match. Don\u2019t worry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isabel wanted to believe that. But that last time she\u2019d believed in anything, it had led her straight into hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou should all be careful,\u201d she said, pitching her voice low even though the voices behind her were too loud for anybody but Tamika, the nurse with the bright eyes and warm smile, to hear. \u201cHe\u2019s dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know, baby. But nobody pushes Dr. Viv around. Trust me.\u201d She brushed Isabel\u2019s hair back. \u201cIs there anybody you<\/em> want here? Anybody you\u2019d like me to call?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isabel thought of a warm smile, a boy with laughing blue-green eyes who\u2019d told her he loved the second day after they\u2019d met. Another pain seized her, but this time it was in her heart and nothing, not even the drugs they pumped into her system to help with the contractions, could help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wished they\u2019d just drug her heavily enough to knock her out. It wasn\u2019t like it mattered. The tests already showed that the fetus was dead. A pregnancy that had been forced on her, just like too many other things. Now it was ending and the dead baby was another casualty of her father\u2019s cruelty. Couldn\u2019t she have the respite of unconsciousness for a little while?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But she\u2019d asked twice, and had been told no twice. She wouldn\u2019t ask again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aware the kind-eyed nurse was still watching her, and patiently waiting, Isabel shook her head. \u201cNo,\u201d she said softly. \u201cThere\u2019s nobody. I don\u2019t have anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* * * * *<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man in the chair across from her had faded, tired-looking gray eyes. His shoulders bowed forward somewhat, as if he carried a heavy weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to assure you that absolutely nobody will know you\u2019re talking to me, Ms. Steele.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isabel studied him a long moment before shrugging and looking back out the window. The sky was impossibly blue and the leaves already started to turn golden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She usually loved this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fall was her favorite season and the colors in Richmond were stunningly beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But all the color had washed out of her world over the past two weeks. No. Longer. More than a month since color, life, joy \u2026 hope<\/em> had disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy father has people everywhere, Mr. Hawkins,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said nothing for a long time. And when he did speak, he sounded puzzled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t sound very concerned about that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a matter of concern.\u201d She lifted one shoulder. \u201cI just don\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She knew she should. The hospital had a shrink come in to talk to her every other day. That shrink, and the dogged determination of Dr. Vivian Atwell, were the two main reasons why Isabel was still in the hospital after two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first week would have been understandable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019d started bleeding the day after the baby had been delivered\u2014still-born, just as the doctors had known it would be. It had taken surgery to stop the bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her father had strode in on the third day and hauled her out of bed, which tore stitches, both inside and out. She hadn\u2019t attempted to fight as he led her out of the room, even though she\u2019d felt the blood on her thighs in a hot, thick flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctors and nurses swarmed him, security staff facing down with Wilson\u2019s bodyguards in a stalemate that ended when Isabel collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She hadn\u2019t woken up for two more days following the surgery needed to repair the damage he\u2019d caused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story was leaked to the press and her father, normally so protected and unaffected, was faced with a firestorm of negative publicity from all fronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of his bodyguards was found dead in his home\u2014the reports were suicide but nobody knew what to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His second bodyguard was arrested for trespassing on hospital grounds after being thrown out twice and the judge, a very vocal opponent of Wilson Steele, had denied bail after the second arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this time, she\u2019d seen her father as the boogeyman and now the public had a glimpse of the monster, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had been Dr. Viv who had come to Isabel about an FBI agent wanting to speak with her. If she was up to it, the doctor would make it happen. If she wasn\u2019t, then the doctor would make sure he stayed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isabel had nothing left to hold onto, so she\u2019d agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She hadn\u2019t been surprised to find out that when he entered, he\u2019d looked familiar. Special Agent in Charge Miles Hawkins had tailed her several times\u2014she\u2019d seen him. Chances are, he\u2019d wanted her to. And now, he wanted her help to put her father away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he just sat there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So she did the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A suppressed sigh from Hawkins caught her attention and she looked at him, puzzled by the way he watched her. \u201cWhat do you want, Agent Hawkins?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve already told you that I\u2019d like your help in locking away your father.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes. So \u2026 why aren\u2019t you asking questions?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrankly because I\u2019m concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She waited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaning forward, Hawkins said, \u201cI\u2019m concerned about you<\/em>, Isabel. You\u2019ve been through a rough few days. You lost your baby\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wanted an abortion,\u201d she said, cutting him off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He sat back, caught off guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shifting her gaze back to the window, she stared at the endless blue sky. It hurt to see that shade of blue. It made her think of Travis. The ice around her heart grew another layer. She welcomed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of my father\u2019s friends raped me,\u201d she said tonelessly. \u201cMy father knew. He\u2019d been pushing me into dating Stephen\u2014our fathers are thick as thieves. I told him no. But my father doesn\u2019t believe in the word no<\/em>. Neither did Stephen. We were at a charity dinner on Valentine\u2019s Day and my father trapped me in a corner all throughout dinner, then left with my mother near the very end of the meal, leaving me stranded at the banquet hall with nobody but Stephen to take me home. Stephen raped me, then walked me back into the house once he got me home and smiled at my father.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawkins\u2019 breath came out in a harsh burst. \u201cYour father \u2026 he knew<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isabel turned dead eyes to the man. \u201cHe\u2019s involved in human trafficking. People are commodities to him, agent. Especially women. Why would you expect him to see me any different?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The look he gave her actually struck her as funny<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019d tried to tell so many people who Wilson Steele was, had tried for so long. But nobody believed her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou really think you can lock him away?\u201d she asked quietly as the shadow of the girl she\u2019d once been stirred inside her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawkins inclined his head. \u201cWith your help, I think we can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She barely saw the flicker of his lids. He didn\u2019t hesitate to ask, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat do you want?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
