Prologue

Saskia

My hands run the length of the cold cement wall at the back of the alley I’nize but I was requested to h my blonde hair and take another step, one foot in front of the other in s cost nature red soles So here I a me the location

It has to be her

Or so I thought

It’s been one year since I’ve seen her Or hiether I loved him as much as I loved her It wasn’t fair They broke my heart

Checking my phone, I pause with one hand on the cement wall and notice I have no reception Great Just what I need Ru, I check for my wallet, and find my pills and bottle of water as well Hey, at least I have water If I die today, I’ll be hydrated

It’s late My last client was finalized before I left to coo and sit inwine

If Iup, there’s a white door a short distance away fro froh and purposely knock only once, or twice, to be a sainst n says

Standing there, I wait for the door tohappens So I knock again This ti

Turning around, I notice the door I entered through is now shut

Fuck! I swear I left it open How did that happen?

A scream rips from my mouth

Quinn is standing in front of me

That sao still in place

He’s dangerous

He’s a collector And not of things Of people

“Saskia” He saysthe door open to a dark room

I don’t want to walk in there Who the fuck knohat’s in that room, and I sure as shit don’t want to find out I’ all my body parts today, thank you very much

Turning, a voice stops me

It isn’t Quinn’s

No, it’s him

Emotions slam into me

Hate

Love

Lust

Anger

He holds them all He’s the reason I’m the person I am today

“Barbie…” A shiver runs over my skin, and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up like little soldiers

Ryken Lord is back
