The door froh Dominic’s hands were bound behind his back, and it looked like they’d already worked him over a bit His eye ollen and there was a trickle of blood on his chin

She couldn’t hold back the little gasp that fell from her mouth Fear seized her

"Ah, Mr Anthony, it’s so nice to see you again" That reptilian s’s face as he looked over the prisoner

"Sorry I can’t say the sa, not sparing her a glance

"I’ll help you look," Kinley offered "Just don’t hurt hi laughed, a nasty little sound "She’s being her true, idiotic self, Anthony You fucked her, and now she thinks it’s love How about it? Do you love her? Is she your little sweetheart?"

Dominic’s eyes slid away from hers "Of course I don’t love her I barely know her"

The words hurt, but she knehat he was doing He was trying to save her, right? He had to be He couldn’t exactly declare himself here and now

"Kinley, get down!" Law yelled as he entered the roo Vincent Dargo before the man could recover

"Drop the weapon, Jansen I took out everyone you brought along," Law said, his eyes on Greg

Tiun and aimed, and Kinley could see exactly where the bullet would hit Dominic scrambled to his feet, but his hands were bound behind his back

He was helpless

Without thinking of anything but saving Doun

She heard the sound ofthe air It seemed to come from everywhere all at once

And then she felt fire in her chest, an agony unlike anything she felt before The air left her lungs She gasped as she hit the floor
