And through all of it…
Reece starts laughing again.
Blood drips from his split lip as he pushes himself upright.
Then he looks straight at me.
Not Levi.
Me.
“I’m coming back for you, baby girl,” he says calmly.
Terror floods my body so hard it hurts.
“Don’t worry.” His smile turns chilling. “You’ll be mine again soon enough.”
“No,” Levi growls.
But Reece is already backing toward the door.
Dorian reaches for his phone instantly.
“Call the police,” someone says. I don’t know who.
The front door slams shut.
And all I can do is stand there shaking while one horrifying thought repeats over and over inside my head.
I’m never going to escape him.
Chapter Thirty-One
LEVI
Ihate when I can’t focus. I hate it even more when I try to use work as a distraction.
That said, I really needed to be at Vale Global today, and I didn’t come here looking for extra work.
I needed to meet with a few important clients before I head off to England.
If I’d had my way, I would’ve cancelled everything and stayed home with Piper.
It’s almost six. I can head out in an hour. I just need to work through these contracts first. That part is the distraction.
I’m not one of those people who fall apart when shit’s going down.
I can still operate. Still be sharp. Still run the show.
But that doesn’t mean this situation isn’t fucking tearing me apart.
It’s been two days since the fight.
Nothing’s happened so far.
The police turned up after Reece left. But they were too late.
The motherfucker had already disappeared and hasn’t been seen since.
