章節 67: Final Confrontation

Riley

The earpiece feels too loud, Damien's voice an anchor and a lifeline I'm not sure I deserve right now. My heart pounds in my chest as I sit, bound and trembling, in Callum's office. 

I know Damien is on his way, but I can't let him hear what's about to happen. He'll lose control, charge in without a plan, and someone will end up dead—maybe all of us. My fingers tremble as I pull the earpiece from my ear, tucking it into my palm.

The door slams open, and Callum storms in, his face twisted in anger. "This isn't the deal we made, Tasha!"

Tasha rolls her eyes, unbothered by his fury. "The deal changed, Callum. That's what happens when you hesitate."

"Hesitate?" he barks, his fists clenched. "You want me to just stand by while you kill her? What the fuck is wrong with you?"
