Chapter 64: I Dare You
Theo's voice was commanding when he spoke, but Danielle could hear the urgency buried beneath each calm word.
"We need to go back to the mansion."
"Why? So we can finish everything there?"
"No…"
"Why not?"
Theo bent closer until she had no escape from his gaze. "Frank just sent a signal, and the president is looking for you. If he finds you missing again, he will think I mean harm to you."
Danielle rolled her eyes and shook her head as if she was shaking off his logic. "Why do you always decide for me? Why do I have to follow your rules?"
"Because there are people who want to end you," Theo said. "And if they cannot find you, they will find someone else to punish. Do you understand?"
She hated how his honesty always sounded like commands. She hated that she believed every word he said.
But she agreed with him anyway.
Theo turned the car around, and by the time they passed the gates, the night turned darker and colder.
