Chapter 18 - A Father's Rage

Maya's POV

"Drive faster!" I scream at Ethan.

"What if we're too late?" Derek's voice shakes.

"We won't be," I say, trying to convince myself as much as him.

We screech to a stop and run inside. The elevator is too slow. We take the stairs, climbing five floors as fast as we can.

Derek's apartment door hangs off its hinges. Inside, we hear shouting.

"You stole from me!" James Walsh's voice roars. "You betrayed your own family!"
