“You were different from all the other girls. I treated you like a queen compared to all those sluts. And then you disrespected me by trying to leave. You left me, Zoe.”
I can see the anger in his eyes now.
“And you tried to kill me.”
He shakes his head again. “I had to—you disrespected me. That’s what we do to traitors. Don’t worry, I made sure the person who failed to finish you never got another chance to fuck up again.”
My stomach sinks. Nikolai killed the man who didn’t kill me.
“Then we got a tip-off. Have you any idea how happy I was that you were still alive?” Nikolai runs his fingers along the lace of my bra. “When I was told that the hit was done, I cried. I fucking cried over you, Zoe. My heart felt like it had been ripped out, but I had to do it.”
I don’t give a shit if he cried over me. I don’t know why he is even telling me this shit, it doesn’t matter—he has ruined all that is good in my life.
“Then I had to watch as you slept with those two bastards. I had to watch as you watched them fuck each other. I was so fucking disgusted with you, that my Zoe would want this for herself.”
I realize Nikolai is delusional, he’s slowly coming unhinged.
“You broke my heart, Zoe. Those men, they don’t love you like I do.”
Nikolai’s lips touch my skin, and it crawls.
“My Zoe being corrupted by these two rainbows. I couldn’t stand by and watch you do that to yourself. You needed to be back with me. With someone who will treat you right!”
I burst out laughing. “Treat me, right? Treat me fucking right? Look at me, Nikolai. I’m strung up half-naked like a piece of meat in a basement. You’re pimping me out to all your friends and colleagues as if I’m yours to give away. I will never be yours.”
Nikolai’s eyes darken at my words. “You are mine. You will always be mine.”
“You may have my body, Nikolai, but you will never have my heart. My heart was taken by those two men that you just destroyed. You may think you have won by ruining them, but that was your biggest mistake because now I have nothing. I have fucking nothing anymore. I’m not going to play your fucking games again. Do your worst, Nikolai. Do your fucking worst, I don’t care anymore. I want to die. I want this over with.” Tears run down my cheeks.
Nikolai looks angry. I watch as his chest rises rapidly.
“Why won’t you love me, Zoe? You could have been by my side in this life. Why don’t you want me?” He thumps his chest.
“Because I could never love a man as vile as you, you fucking repulse me. I hate you. I hate you with everything that I have.”
I watch as darkness falls across his face. Nikolai straightens himself and pulls his knife out from behind his back.
My instincts kick in, and I thrash about in the chains.Please let this be quick, please.
Nikolai slashes my bra, and the material falls to the floor. Then he cuts the tiny fabric of my G-string, and it falls beside my bra.
I’m open and exposed to him.
“I gave you chances, Sapphire, but your luck has run out now.” He puts the knife away and moves closer to me. His hands run up and down my exposed flesh, then he quickly turns away and walks to the door. He speaks to someone on the outside, then returns with Dmitri, who has a sadistic smile on his face. “We know it was you who called the police and as much as I want to slit your throat right now for being a traitor, I have other ideas for you. I’ve decided to get rid of you, sell you off to someone else who wants you. Your chances with me have run out, and I see you now as nothing but a useless whore. I want to hurt you so badly, but I can’t afford to bruise your skin, not if I want top dollar. So instead, Dmitri and I are going to have some fun with you.”
I thrash again against the chains, no.Please kill me, now.
Dmitri is unzipping his jeans, fisting his hardening cock in his hands.
No, no. I cry, I scream, I will not let them.
But all I hear is Nikolai’s dark laugh as hands touch me.

“What do you mean she isn’t there?” I scream down the phone at Enrique, who has just raided the palace that Zoe called us from.
