Isla's POV
"We're going in." I pull Ethan closer to me, my voice steady even though my heart is hammering. "Victor wants a family reunion? He's going to get one."
"Isla, no." Dominic grabs my arm. "It's too dangerous. He has your mother, he has Aiden, and he's already proven he'll hurt anyone who gets in his way."
"Exactly. Which is why we can't wait around making plans." I look down at Ethan, who's being far too brave for a five-year-old. "Baby, I need you to stay here with Aunt Lily—"
"No!" Ethan's face crumples. "I want to meet my brother! And save Grandma!"
"Sweetheart—"
"You said I was smart, Mama. You always say I'm too smart for my own good." His silver eyes—Dominic's eyes—fill with determination. "Maybe I can help. Maybe I can trick the bad man."
Dominic kneels down to Ethan's level. "Son, this man is very dangerous. I can't let anything happen to you."
