William and Colby exchanged conspiratorial glances, clearly playing it cool as if they barely knew each other.
Sophie lowered her voice, "I'm fine, but we should get out of here."
She had noticed early on that the security here was much tighter than usual. The guards at the entrance, pushed in by Colby, were fewer than half of what she saw when she first entered the banquet hall. This time, Colby managed to get in likely because Caelum had intentionally loosened the security and dismissed most of the guards.
Caelum was scheming something, and it was best not to provoke him now.
"Since my wife is unharmed, I'll take her and leave," Colby said, his focus entirely on Sophie's injured foot. He scooped Sophie into his arms and turned to leave, but Caelum coldly interrupted, "Hold on."
Colby paused, and Caelum demanded, "Was it you who had someone kidnapped Sandy?"
Sophie’s breath hitched. She had seen how much Caelum doted on Sandy. His question sounded almost accusatory.
"It was me," Colby admitted.
"I only have one daughter. By doing this, Colby, you're showing no respect to me," Caelum said.
"If she messes with my wife again, I'll do it again," Colby replied, and without another word, he carried Sophie out of the Pollard residence.
The butler commented, "Sir, are we just letting him go like that? If Miss Sandy finds out..."
Caelum stretched lazily and said, "He's got a bit of his grandfather's spirit. It's about time Sandy's temper was checked; I've spoiled her too much. If I'm gone, who will protect her?"

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
Excellent novel!...
