I’m sure my feet are bleeding, but I don’t pay them any attention. I make my way down side streets, avoiding the main roads for fear of being caught. When Luke’s building finally comes into view, I want to cry.

I rush across the road, nearly getting hit by another car, and push through into the foyer. Luke’s doorman tries to stop me until he realises who I am.

“Miss Fraser? What happened?” I cling to his arm, terror making me needy.

“I need my brother.”

He extricates himself from my grasp and rounds the desk to pick up the phone. I sink onto one of the sofas lining the foyer and try to calm my breathing. I don’t allow myself to relax until the lift pings and Luke steps off it.

Our eyes find each other and I see the anger flare in his as he takes me in. He drops to his knees in front of me, taking my hands in his. “Aurelia! What the fuck?”

Safety floods me. For the first time in a long time, I know I’m safe from my mother, from Anthony, and from the threat the Fraser syndicate holds for me.
