章 157: | The Power Of His Promise

𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐘

Anna's teeth moved across her bottom lip, and I could practically see the battle raging inside her mind. It was because I mentioned him. Her old master. The devil made it clear he wouldn't rest until he had his precious, broken girl back. Lucian and I were the only people who knew why she was so precious to him, just another secret we kept to ourselves to protect Anna. There was no telling what she would have done if she knew what she carried around in her. If she knew she had a piece of Zoloft's life stuck inside her flesh, it would probably catapult her over the edge. She was too vulnerable, too bruised to know exactly how close Zoloft was. I hoped tonight would play out the way I imagined it, and it would make her stronger. But for her to rise out of the ashes, I needed to break her first.
