"I know it's hard to believe me right now-and that's okay. We've got all the time in the world later."

"Sylvia, don't hate me. I never wanted to be this person, but I didn't get a choice."

Sylvia frowned, picking up on the hidden meaning in his words. "Who gave you a choice?"

Warren didn't answer. Instead, he stood up, crossed over to her, and swapped her untouched steak for the one he'd already sliced.

"Eat. Don't be stubborn. Uncle Rupert might let you have your tantrum, but not me. What I want, I get. And what I can't have... I'd rather destroy than let anyone else-especially Rupert-get it."

He smiled as he spoke, but there was nothing warm about it.

The way he cared for her was real, but so was his hatred for Rupert.

Sylvia glanced at his hand pressing down hard on her shoulder. "How am I supposed to eat like this? I'm not going anywhere, am I?"

Warren waved a hand at the bodyguard, who let her go.

He pushed the plate closer and gave her a warning look. "Sylvia, don't try anything. No one knows where you are not even Uncle Rupert. No one's coming to save you."

He ruffled her hair, not unkindly. "Be good. Just listen."

Sylvia glared at him, pure fury in her eyes. But in the end, she sighed, picked up her knife and fork, and started eating.
