“Don’t fear,” I stated, smiling. “I’ll inform Yakim I tripped and harm myself within the girls’ room. He can’t blame you for my clumsiness.”

“You’ll try this for us?” Leon requested, his amber eyes huge with shock. “You don’t need to get even with us for treating you want crap?”

“I hate what you probably did to me after kidnapping me from that sham wedding ceremony,” I stated in a grim tone. “You guys compelled yourselves on me and left me bare in a darkish room. I perceive the rationale behind treating me that manner however I’ll always remember the ache and trauma I went via. I want there was a technique to avenge myself however doing that may harm you, and that’s one thing I’ll by no means do.”

Sober expressions descended on each their faces.

“Callum’s the one monster in our story,” stated Mikhail. “Don’t fear, love.” Leaning in, he kissed my cheek. “We’ll destroy him till he’s begging us for demise.”

“Let’s get out of right here earlier than somebody sees us,” stated Leon, glancing on the rivulets of blood streaming towards us.

And similar to that, I walked away with Leon and Mikhail, by no means wanting again to see whether or not Casey was nonetheless alive or not.

Yakim

Sweat dripped down my neck as I prowled down the hall. After the three-hour exercise session, my physique was screaming for sustenance. A steak sandwich and a protein shake had been what I wanted proper now.

Gentle cluttering sounds reached my ears as I neared the kitchen. It wasn’t midday but and nonetheless early for Dora to begin getting ready for lunch.

Slowing my footsteps, I peered via the door. To my shock, it was Lucia who was whisking one thing in a big copper bowl. Dora was nowhere in sight.

“What are you doing right here?” I requested, striding contained in the room.

Lucia appeared up at me, her emerald eyes widening in shock. “Hey,” she stated in a small voice and appeared away guiltily, persevering with to beat the batter.

My suspicion prickled directly. What might she have performed to be responsible?

I prowled nearer, taking within the luggage of flour and sugar, packets of chocolate chips, and a carton of eggs.

“Who’s making you cook dinner?” I requested as she continued to look away.

“Nobody,” she murmured. “Lilja stated her favourite cake was chocolate, so I used to be baking one for her. She’s been so candy to me all this time, I needed to do one thing for her. If I had cash, I’d have taken her out to a spa or one thing.”

Her rationalization sounded advantageous however why was she nonetheless avoiding me?

Reaching out, I positioned a hand on hers, stopping her from whisking like a maniac. A shiver jolted via her at my contact. She stayed nonetheless, reluctant to take a look at me.

Hooking a finger beneath her chin, I lifted her face to me. These jewel-like inexperienced eyes stared at me, hypnotizing me for a second. I blinked, my gaze falling on a bruise on the suitable aspect of her brow.

My chest squeezed directly. How did she get harm?

“What occurred final night time?” I requested, caressing the spot with a delicate finger.

“This?” she stated, chuckling nervously. “It’s all my fault. I used to be clumsy and fell. All my fault.”

My brows rose excessive on my brow. She was attempting a bit too laborious to persuade me she fell and harm herself.

“You had been all the time a foul liar,” I stated.

Concern flitted via her eyes.

“Who harm you?” I requested in a deep, grim tone. “Was it my brothers?”

“No!”
