“My brother will be here soon with mercenaries. He will save Melanie and those children!”
My fingers clung to him with all my strength, stalling for time.
Aidan’s face darkened, the corner of his mouth curling in a mocking smile.
“Kendall, how much longer are you going to keep this madness up?”
“You don’t have a brother at all!”
“If you keep blocking my negotiation and rescue, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Aidan forced my fingers open one by one, pain stabbing through my hand until sweat beaded across my body.
At that moment, the deafening roar of helicopter blades shook the air above us.
“Look, a helicopter!”
“Someone’s jumping down!”
“There’s more than one!”
“Are they here for our children?”
