Why would she do that? Why would she offer up her own life in exchange for mine?

“I can see why you’re so taken with her.” The feral grin that tugs at his lips has me grinding my teeth. “Such pretty lips… I bet she’s great at sucking cock.”

Rage courses through my body as I fight the urge to lunge for Igor.

How dare he fucking talk about my baby girl like that.

Mymalishka.I love you…

And because of this fucker, I might never get the chance to tell her that.

Fuck that!

He must see the anger in my eyes as he only laughs.

“Maybe I’ll keep her around for a little longer just so we can have some fun together.”

“Don’t fucking touch her.”

“You’re not exactly in a place to stop me, Danil. So, I can stick my cock wherever I like, starting with your girlfriend’s puss?—”

“Enough!”

I almost lose my balance as the rope loosens, but thankfully, Igor is too preoccupied with getting a rise out of me that he doesn’t seem to notice.

“Do you want me to stop?”

I say nothing. I might be able to take Igor down with my bare hands, but his henchmen would take me out before I could do any real damage.

I need to wait for the right moment to make my move. I’ll only get one chance to get out of here, and I need to make it count.

So, if that means sitting here and listening to Igor talk about Emily, then so be it. If I play this right, the bastard will be dead within the hour, anyway.

“As much as I would love to sit here and spend the night talking through my plans for Emily, there are other things we need to take care of, Danil.”

When he pulls my cell phone out of his back pocket and flashes the screen at me, my stomach bottoms out.

There’s a sea of notifications flooding the screen.

“Now, are we clear on what you have to say, Danil? Because if you say so much as a word wrong, I will put a bullet between your eyes and make your brothers listen to the whole damn thing.”

Sweat breaks out on the back of my neck as I look at my phone and see all the missed calls from Dimitri.

The time reads almost four A.M. which means Emily and I have been here for at least five hours. While I had no intention of taking Emily back to my brother’s penthouse after our date, I did intend for her to message her sister to let her know that she would be staying the night with me. So, when she didn’t come home, it’s likely that Zara alerted Dimitri, and now all hell's breaking loose.

“Are we clear?” Igor barks.

“Yes.”

“And before you get your hopes up, I had the location tracker in your phone disabled.”

Fuck.

“They could trace the call. My brothers are smart. They’ll think of everything.”

“Oh, I’m relying on that, Danil.”

Of course, he is.
