Elena’s vision blurred with tears as Danika’s furious words echoed around the empty warehouse. The sharp sting of the whip across her flesh seemed never-ending, each strike sending waves of searing pain through her already battered body. She tried to steady her breathing, to find some semblance of control in this nightmare, but the torment was relentless.“You think you can just walk away from me? You think you can live your life without paying for what you did?” Danika’s voice was filled with venom, her eyes alight with a manic fire. “Well, I have news for you, princess. The universe isn’t as kind and forgiving as you think it is. Sometimes, bad things happen to good people, and it’s time you learned your lesson, bitch!”With those words, she flung the whip to the other side of the room and huffed.Elena couldn’t help but sigh, her body too tired to even register the pain now. The cuts on her cheeks still burned like hell, but the relief from the torture was all that mattered to her

As Elena struggled to catch her breath, she tried to take stock of her situation. Her head was spinning from the adrenaline coursing through her veins and she could feel her heartbeat racing, a cold sweat covering her entire body. Her muscles burned from exertion, and her bones ached with a deep-seated pain she couldn’t even begin to understand.She knew she was still in danger, that Danika was a loose cannon who wouldn’t hesitate to finish her off at any moment. She had to do something to protect herself, to survive long enough for Simon to find her.After Danika and the guard left, she made a decision to stay where she was and not move a single inch, just in case someone was watching her. She didn’t want to do anything that would potentially endanger her life any further. She had to stay put and wait for Simon. He would come. He always came, didn’t he?———Simon paced the room while Josh sat patiently, waiting for the man they had come to see. If it had been any other family or pers

The voice that answered was not one Elena expected, and her heart leaped in her chest.Simon.She turned her head towards the door and saw the love of her life enter the warehouse with Josh right behind him, both with their guns pointed at the man in front of her.“Step away from her. Now,” Simon’s voice was low and full of menace, each word dripping with controlled fury.“Walsh. To what do I owe the pleasure?” The older man’s voice was strained, and Elena could tell he was trying to remain calm. His eyes darted nervously between Simon and Josh.“I told you. Step away from her. Now.”“Or what? You’ll shoot me?” The older man tried to sound confident, but the quiver in his voice betrayed him.Simon cocked his gun, the click echoing ominously through the warehouse. “If you want to live, you will do as I say. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your safety.”“You’re bluffing.”Simon took a step closer, his gaze never wavering. “You really want to test me?”The older man narrowed his eyes, weigh

Gambino looked at Josh as if he had been punched in the gut. His eyebrows furrowed, and his mouth curled into a menacing snarl. He charged at Josh and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.“Tell me that’s a big-ass joke!”“It isn’t.”“No!” Victor pushed Josh hard and growled. “No. No, no, no, no. You’re kidding. You’re screwing with me, aren’t you?” He paced in front of him, running a hand through his hair. Once. Twice. Thrice. Then, he stopped and turned to face Josh once again. He pulled the gun and planted it right between Josh’s eyes. “Tell me the truth, or I’ll shoot the fuck out of you right fucking now.”“I don’t know what you want me to say.”“Just—just tell me the system exists, and everything you said just now is a fucking joke. Come on, say it. Or I shoot you. Right now. Say it!”“Well, if that’s what you want me to say….”“No!” Victor yelled again, clearly losing it. “You—you—” his gaze fell on Elena, and he pointed the gun at her instead, knowing she was the weakness of

When Simon finally opened his eyes, he knew he wasn’t alone.Blinking up to push the dizziness aside, he turned his head to glance over to his left.As he had already guessed, Elena sat in the chair next to his bed, her head down, her fingers laced with his.A soft smile broke across his lips. His thumb caressed the back of her hand, his heart at peace seeing that she was doing much better than the last time he remembered.“Elena,” he spoke softly, gently, and with so much love that his own eyes prickled a little. “Wake up, darling, or you’ll hurt your back like that.”She stirred awake, and as soon as her gaze found his, she sat up, a look of utter relief washing over her face. Her hand left him and cradled his cheek instead.“You’re awake!”“Yes, I am.” “I was so worried.” She was on the verge of tears again. “The surgery was over, but they told me you’d be out for a while. But it’s been hours already! And you were still sleeping! I thought— I was so—”“Hey.” Simon cupped her face, s
