KJ giggled. “Because it’s fun.”

There was no other explanation needed.

This was about control, about power, and about the simple fact that they’d been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

He wasn’t supposed to be on this trip.

Naija whimpered, and I turned my attention back to her. Thorne’s grip tightened, his fingers digging into her broken jaw until she whimpered. “You’re not going to beg?” he asked, his voice dripping with mock curiosity. “No desperate pleas for your life? No promises to do whatever we want?”

She spit at him. It was a weak attempt, but her intent was clear. Thorne laughed as he wiped the small blob from his mask. “Good answer. That makes this all the easier.” He pulled his knife free and plunged it into the center of her chest.

Her gasp was sharp, her body locking up as he twisted the blade, shoving it deeper until something cracked, her body convulsing and then going still. A small sob came from Cherish. Jason groaned again; his eyes now clearer, wide with horror as he took in Naija’s lifeless body.

“Fuck, you-you didn’t have to do that to her.” he stammered, his voice rising in pitch. He struggled against his restraint, his movements frantic but useless. He had to know it would be his turn soon. “Please… please, man. You don’t have to do this.”

“I want to do this,” I replied fluidly.

His head rolled back, and he laughed dryly. “You fucking pussy. At least make it a fair fight.”

What a change-up. “Fairness only benefits you. And in case that blow to the head scrambled your brain, it was a fair fight. You lost to a fire poker.”

“Let’s even things out a bit more,” Lucian suggested. He fisted Jason’s hair, yanking it back much like KJ had done to Liza. His knife flashed, the motion quick and clean, as he slit his throat. More blood sprayed, joining the small puddle accumulating on the table, soaking the front of his shirt as his body slumped forward.

Daniella wailed incoherently in the corner and Romeo murmured something to her about Jason’s dick not being that big to weep over. I kept my eyes on Autumn, her gagged sobs muffled but audible. Her eyes locked onto Jason’s body, then flicked to me, filled with rage and despair. I didn’t need to say anything; I just held her gaze.

I raised my hand and made a come-hither motion. Romeo stepped forward, dragging Daniella by the arm. She fought him, twisting and kicking, but he was stronger. He forced her down onto the bloody table, pinning her there with one hand as she thrashed beneath him.

Autumn’s scream was muffled. She struggled against her restraints, her panic palpable. My gloved hand cupped her face, forcing her to look at me as her muffled cries filled the room. “It’s almost over.”

Romeo adjusted his grip on Daniella, his knife gleaming as he leaned over her.

Autumn’s skin was flushed with rage, all of her gagged screams raw. I couldn’t have her break yet. Not until she understood. I’d piece her together later, make her exactly the same knowing she was a permanent fixture in our lives.

Hunter moved forward, grabbing one of Daniella’s arms. Atlas sighed dramatically, like this was all an inconvenience to him, and tossed Amber’s head aside. He grabbed Daniella’s other arm, pulling her forward until her midsection bent over the table, her body splayed helplessly. Her muffled cries barely made it past Romeo’s laugh.

He clapped his gloved hands together, rubbing them like he was about to start a game. "Now, Daniella, let me explain something. I can’t go all the way with this. No offense, but you’re just not my type and you fucked another man less than twenty-four hours ago. I’ve also taken a vow of celibacy.”

Thorne barked out a laugh. “A vow of celibacy? Give me a break.”

Lucian tilted his head, his cold amusement slipping through his mask. “You, of all people, took a vow of celibacy?”

Romeo shrugged. “What? Like you haven’t? I did it for my future Juliet. And don’t throw me off track.” He leaned closer to Daniella, his voice dropping to a darker pitch. “I can still make your dreams come true. Don’t worry. When I’m done, you’ll have trouble moving your legs, just like you wanted.”

She went still, probably wondering how he knew about that. It was thanks to the device on Cherish’s car. The same one on hers and Mint’s. I had the foresight to make sure each of them was covered in case Mint was with them.

Romeo reached into his suit jacket and pulled out a sleek switchblade, its edge gleaming in the dim light. He flicked it open with an exaggerated motion.

Autumn thrashed, nearly tipping her chair, her muffled screams now filled with pure, unfiltered rage. She still didn’t get it yet. This was a necessary path to be paved for our future.
