“Drive.” Dylan ordered the man before turning to me with a sadistic grin on his face. That’s when he swung out with the gun and sucker punched me in the face.
I cried out as pain flashed through me and my hand went to my cheek where he’d hit me. Stars danced in my vision as I tried to blink.
“That’s for running.” Dylan put the gun into his pants. “This, this is for making me chase you.” He grabbed my hair tightly in his fist, jerking me to his face. Pain shot through me as he ripped some of my hair out of my scalp.
I whimpered just before his lips crashed into mine, bruising them almost instantly.
“You are mine and always will be mine. Cupcake.” He said the endearment with a sneer.
I pushed at his chest, scraping his face with my nails. He cursed loudly as I got him in the eye.
“You bitch!” He swung out again, this time catching me on the other side of my face.
Blackness swallowed me up within seconds. All I could think of was I’d never get to tell them I loved them again.

ELIAS
The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end as I peeked out the conference room door to see an empty desk where Alena should be.
The cheering and slapping of palms silenced as a deep growl vibrated in my chest.
Xavier almost knocked me over as he barreled out of the room and approached her desk. His entire body vibrated with anger as he picked up a notepad from the side of the desk Rayna was sitting at.
“She went downstairs.” He roared in rage, throwing the pad against the wall before pacing up and down the length of the office. “We don’t even fucking know how long ago that was! Where the fuck is Rayna?!”
Julian stepped forward and planted a hand on Xavier’s chest to stop him. “Xavy. Breathe. Think. We’ll find her. She could be back on her way up now.”
I cleared my throat and pulled out my phone. I waved it in the air. “You gave her the hairpin for a reason. Let’s find out.”
I knew what the damn app was going to say before it even fully loaded. The faded aroma of her scent told me it had been at least an hour since she’d been in here.
My jaw clenched as I ground my molars together. Anytime, you stupid fucking phone.
A long drawn out curse echoed in the room. “She’s at the Westin. We need to get over there immediately.”
Xavier, in a stint of rational thought grabbed a tablet and brought up the security camera footage. His dark eyes blazed with heat as they trailed over the images in front of him.
“We need to call the cops.” Xavier’s hands clenched around the tablet, a small hairline crack splintering from his grip.
He angled the screen toward us.
Dylan had an arm wrapped around her shoulder as he escorted her out the lobby door and into a waiting vehicle.
Rage boiled my blood, a haze falling over my vision. “I’m going to fucking kill him.”
“Not if I get to him first.”
CHAPTER28
Alena
Iawoke laying on the floor. My face throbbed, and I knew I would have two black eyes and some nasty bruises. I blinked, one eye already starting to swell shut. It wasn’t the worst injury Dylan had given me, but I’d make damn sure it’d be the last.
“Ah. There she is.” Dylan squatted next to me, brushing his fingers across my forehead. “Wakey wakey.” He chuckled at his joke.
I sat up slowly, making sure I wasn’t going to throw up. My head throbbed.
