I'd never come to this house for love. I came to help my sister's son. That was it. I never let my heart get involved, never expected anything more than cold indifference. Caleb had always loved Olivia and now he'd found someone who mirrored her so perfectly it was almost grotesque. Selena was his second chance, a living, breathing shadow of the woman he'd never stopped grieving.
He should be happy.
Quietly, I slipped upstairs to pack what little I had left. When I came back down, my bags in hand, I headed for the front door.
But just as I reached it, Theo stepped in front of me, blocking my path.
With one sharp kick, he knocked over my suitcase.
"What, one little joke and now you're running away?" His voice was dripping with contempt. "You think this little act will get my dad's attention? That he'll come chasing after you like in some stupid movie? You're pathetic."
I didn't say a word. I just bent down, calmly picked up my suitcase and started walking away from him.
Then I heard sharp whistle through the air.
I turned around just in time to see Theo standing with the bow raised, as he released an arrow aimed straight at me.
