Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 166

Keegan slid the bolt across the door with a heavy clank, his face contorted with pain as he spoke to her, “Whitney, I can’t put you in danger anymore. I head out on my own. It’s one thing for the cops to catch me, but you can’t be seen. You stay hidden here until I’m in the police station, then, you can come out and clear your name!”

“Uncle, let me out!” Whitney banged on the door, her cries for help falling into the void.

She moved to the window and saw her uncle’s staggering retreat, her heart piercing with pain like a needle had just pricked it

Her uncle, stubborn and headstrong, thought this would save her. But Whitney feared that after she escaped from the villa last night, she was most likely already an accomplice.

“Uncle! I need to get out now!” Whitney, frantic and pale, pounded the door frame with desperation.

But in the secluded little cottage, no one could hear her screams.
