I looked over my shoulder at the girl who’d captured my awful attention. She’d been marked. All because I’d made eye contact with her and sucked in a breath that tasted like sweetest sin.
Her life had been cut short because of me.
The pain she was about to endure—
I groaned.
Beneath my shame, I grew shockingly hard. Images of her submitting filled my mind while my ears throbbed with the sounds of all the screams I could wring from her.
I trembled, not because her blood would stain my hands but because I wanted it to.
I wanted it so fucking badly.
I was as black as this bastard beside me, and my self-control kept slipping.
Slipping…
My hands fisted around the envelope-wrapped money.
Make the choice.
Right now.
Save countless women—just like Q demanded of you—or walk away and save just one.
That one.
You don’t have to do this. There isn’t a gun to your head.
But at least be honest with yourself that if you refuse—the minute you say no—she’s his anyway.
Breathing hard, I turned back to face the Jeweler.
Out of the two of us, I’d rather be the one to drag her into the worst nightmare of her life. With me…I would try to save her. With him…he’d make her wish for death.
He licked his lower lip, keeping a careful eye on me. “If you’re worried he’ll make a scene, don’t be. The crowd has been dispersed. The bartender is otherwise engaged. The girl’s fight has reached its end, and the boy is fuming. He knows he can’t strike her. Not here at least. Yet he’s plotting how to make her pay.” He chuckled. “You’re merely giving him revenge with a neat and tidy bow…along with a nice little payday. He’ll take the money, Henri. And when he does, you will take the girl.” He pointed into the blackness. “Take her to the back of the club. There’s a door. Knock four times and you’ll be let inside.”
Not giving me time to refuse, he stepped away. “Roland, come along. Let our new acquaintance prove he’s worthy of our friendship.”
Saluting me mockingly, he muttered, “Have fun, Henri. Remember. Buy the girl, bring her to me, and I promise you, your life will never be the same again.”

Ily
HOW COULD HE SAY THAT about Krish? That I slept with my adoptive brother?
He knew why I was close to him. Why I doted on him. Without Krish, I wouldn’t have a family. Out of everyone in this world, Krish was the only one who’d earned my entire heart. Sure, my adoptive mother and father had all of it too, but Krish…he had all of it and far, far more.
“You’re sick for ever suggesting I would sleep with the one person I adore more than anything,” I hissed.
Sam rubbed his smarting cheek from where I’d slapped him. His voice was ugly as he sneered, “Adore more than anything, huh? Adore more than me, your boyfriend? The man you gave four years of your life to?” He laughed nastily. “Four years you’ve led me on, making me believe you’ll change. I did my best to bide my time for you to outgrow your stupid rocks and silly dreams, but you’ve just shown me what a lost cause you truly are. You’re an outsider in the very family you say you adore so much. My family could’ve offered you more than they ever could because they’re better in every way.” He bared his teeth. “You’ll regret this, Il. I bet you’re already regretting it. You just kissed the future we could’ve had together goodbye.”
Wow.
Steam came out of my ears. “You’re not better than me, Samuel Laris. You’re an absolute twat. And don’t you dare talk about my family that way!”
