Lex yells at his men. I can’t tell what he’s saying, but I know he’s pissed, judging from the protruding vessels on his face and his obscene gestures.
He grabs a tissue from his pocket and coughs inside. There’s more blood.
The man is deathly sick, and still, he chooses to destroy everything in his path.
Aurora’s father is pushed forward on his knees.
A gun is pulled.
My pulse quickens, and I stare without blinking.
Lex flicks his fingers at a guard who runs off to fetch some papers and a pen … then hands it to Blom, who begins to write something down.
My eyes widen when I spot him drawing some kind of map.
Fuck.
I knew it.
He’s leading Lex straight to us.
I push the gear into reverse and hit the gas, not waiting another second before I spin around and drive straight back to the beach house.
I have to warn her.
I have to get her out of there before they come.
Driving as fast as I possibly can, I skid through the streets, ignoring traffic lights as I make my way across the city, back to the only person I’ve ever cared about.
She’s not safe at that beach house anymore. Not now that her father’s talked.
We’ll have to find some other place to stay. Maybe one of my old hideouts from back when I was still roaming the streets.
Then again, it may be best to escape the city entirely.
Grumbling to myself, I race through the streets, my heart still far from calm as I finally arrive at the beach house. I park the car sideways and with screeching tires, not waiting a second before I jump out the door and storm inside.
“Aurora!” I roar.
“What?” she yells back from the bedroom.
The sound of her voice is soothing.
She’s still safe. Good.
“What’s wrong?” she asks as she steps out of the room. “What were you doing out there?”
“We have to pack now,” I say as I walk past her and head into the bedroom, throwing every bit of clothing we have into the big suitcase inside the closet.
She follows me around. “Why? What happened?”
“Your father’s been captured.”
Her eyes widen, a horrifying look settling on her face.
But the worst is yet to come.
“Lex?” she mumbles.
