you may seem. I really started to like her. She was stealing my heart and I thought about backing out multiple times, but I knew I couldn’t do that to family. I slipped up and told her things I shouldn’t have. I’m sorry I messed up, but you are my brother. We can get through this and figure everything out again. The money will always be there, we just need to figure a way on how to get to Shannon’s parents accounts.”
Brother? Had Megan just called Dan her brother? Dan had mentioned to her he had a sister, but said he never met her. He said he didn’t know her name or where she was, but he knew he had one. Was he lying then, or had he found her after the fact? It didn’t matter now. All that mattered was getting out of this and making sure herself and Julie were okay. Apparently this was about her family’s money and getting their hands on it through the power of love and deception. Why did they need money? Megan’s house was bigger than almost anything she had seen and Dan had always been fairly wealthy, or at least she had thought.
When she thought about the situation, fear consumed her mind momentarily. She realized she had never met Dan’s family. She had never known his background really, or what he did for a living. They hadn’t dated very long, and realized she didn’t know much about him. He seemed well kept, but that was easy to fake. She had been lied to, or at least the entire truth was never put out on the table for her to see. Her thoughts were interrupted again as Megan kept throwing out questions that annoyed Dan.
“How much further?” she asked, getting impatient with the length of the drive.
“A couple more miles,” he replied. “We will have to tell her what is going on and see if we can talk her into cooperating before we have to do anything we don’t want to do.”
Shannon felt the car come to a stop and didn’t want to let them know she had been awake, let alone listening to everything along the way. She acted like she was asleep again as the front doors opened simultaneously. She heard gravel under the feet of the two siblings, giving her the notion that they were far away from the city.
The door opened near her head and she felt the breathe of Megan on her neck as she leaned down to whisper in her ear as though she knew she had been awake.
“Don’t worry babe, I won’t let him hurt you. I’m sorry for everything, but I’ll get you out of this.”
Shannon didn’t know what to think as Megan had lied to her and betrayed her more than anyone ever had. She wanted to trust her, but was in no position to do so at the time.
“Dan will be back in a moment to bring you inside. Do what he says and I will help you make everything right afterward, I promise. I love you Shannon!”
With all that had happened in the past few hours, Shannon wished she could tell Megan she loved her as well but couldn’t imagine ever saying those three words to her again. It was true though; she still loved her. She had fallen in love with a liar, who used her, but couldn’t change the fact that the love was real.
She heard gravel crunching again from afar but the noise was getting closer. Dan was on his way back to the car to bring Shannon inside. She didn’t want to be left alone with him without Megan, but she knew she didn’t have much choice in the matter. Dan opened the other back seat door, pulled on her legs, and out of the car she went. Just before her topside hit the gravel, Megan grabbed her arms lifting her up. They began walking her up the driveway and toward a building she saw as she narrowly opened her eyes. Dan noticed that her eyes had opened.
“ Didn’t expect you to wake up yet!” he said, with an almost happy tone, eerily smiling at her as they walked.
They brought her inside, and laid her on a bed in a small room just inside.
“We will be right outside, so don’t think about doing anything you will regret!” Dan said as they left her in
