Chapter Eleven
Megan ran her hand along the keys of the grand piano, but didn t dare press them. Her family s
penthouse was a mirror image of Brandon s, the living rooms side-by-side, and she didn t want to take the
chance that Brandon would realize the empty apartment next door wasn t so empty.
The top of the piano had been filled with family photos in gilded frames, but now everything was as
stark as a hotel room should be, all personal touches removed and likely sold to the highest bidder.
Her father s high-tech entertainment system had been replaced by the hotel s standard issue models,
the modern artwork that had graced the walls swapped for some truly ugly pieces that must have spent
decades hiding in the basement. Just like everything else in her life, it was the same but completely
different.
The master bedroom smelled like clean laundry, not her mother. The vintage shoe collection was gone
from the room-size closet, as was any sign that someone had ever lived here. Her father s study had been
replaced by the standard issue bedroom, just like at Brandon s. She climbed the stairs to the room she d
shared with her sisters with deliberate slowness. Brandon had his office upstairs, but here the Carlton
sisters had taken over on the nights their parents couldn t be bothered to trek up the hill to the family estate.
The landing had once been home to a doll house and play kitchen, but those had long since been
packed away, replaced by velvet chaise lounges and a bookshelf stocked with leather-bound classics no one
ever read. Now the entire space lay empty.
She hoped someone would read those books.
Her hand shook as she turned the handle and opened the door to what had been her bedroom. Her
heart sank to see the three twin beds gone, replaced by the same standard issue bedroom arrangement in
any room in the hotel. It was what she expected, and yet it made her throat ache. She walked around the
room, trying to remember it as it was, as she was.
A note on the closet door caught her eye. She read personal property and she furrowed her brow. She
opened the door and found the walk-in closet just as crammed full as it had been since Ava discovered her
love of handbags.
Three girls in one closet made for a tight squeeze no matter how rarely they d stayed here, and it
seemed even more had been added to the fray, including a cardboard box of pictures.
Megan sank to the floor with the box in her lap, thumbing through the photos that had been in frames
throughout the penthouse. Memories of her first time on her pony, Ava s sweet sixteen party, sporting a
Jenna Bayley-Burke
one-piece while her mother and sisters rocked bikinis on the beach in Hawaii. It all flooded through her as
fast as the tears spilled down her cheeks.
They d had good times, happy family vacations and tender moments highlighted by the picture of her
and Ava holding their newborn baby sister. It had been good and her father had thrown it away. He d put a
price on his children and tossed them to the wolves.
Megan could remember that he d loved her mother once, and over the years his distance from them all
grew, other women on the fringe but always there. It got worse and worse until he destroyed an entire
legacy.
Brandon would be the same way if she let him. She d deluded herself for too long that he was
different. The lies would get bigger, uglier, and eventually she d be strangled by them just as her mother
was.
She fingered a glamour shot of her mother, one that had sat on her father s desk right by the phone,
and wondered why in the world she d left with him.
Well? Brandon clasped the phone to his ear, his hand clenched around the back of his desk chair.
He d been pacing for two hours and hadn t heard a word from the high-priced security team Danny thought
so highly of.
We ve reviewed the security cameras from all the exits, and we think she s still somewhere in the
building.
I told you hours ago that she practically grew up in the Beverly Carlton. If anyone knows how to
come and go unnoticed, it s Megan. Realization clenched his jaw. He d supported her in their game of
secrecy, encouraged her to learn how to get away without being seen, and now she d gotten away from
