Being a fiercely determined young lady who has always taken care of herself, Billie Jo was extremely surprised to find herself the victim of target practice for this insanely arrogant, completely revolting individual, who is obviously somewhat removed from reality if his current actions are any indication.

Never in a million years would she have believed she would have let her guard down long enough to find herself here in this place with this person, fighting for her life, but unable to speak at all due to the duct tape and the gag he'd stuffed into her mouth.

He'd already kicked her so hard, so many times, she was sure she'd lost the baby. Alex would never forgive her for allowing this man to kill their child. She prayed he would finish the job and end her suffering, but she knew in her heart that he wanted her to suffer further. After all, she hadn't chosen him. In fact, she was completely repelled by him, always had been.
