I shuddered. He was furious. I did not know how to respond to his anger so I closed my eyes. I felt him hold my shoulders and shook me as he repeated his question.
"Is Prince Eric the man your father arranged your marriage to?" he asked harshly.
I opened my eyes and I stared at him. I know from his eyes that he already knew the answer to his question so I responded with, "I ran away because of that. I told you, didn't I?"
Jacob shook his head. He clenched his fist and turned away from me. "Where is Thaddaeus?" he asked Sandlot.
"He acted as our decoy so we could escape. He got caught," Sandlot replied.
"We have to get out of here, Jacob," Paco told him.
Jacob remained quiet. I know he was thinking… contemplating… planning for our next move. But, I don't want him to remain angry with me.
"Jacob…" I called him
