terror.
“Marcus, just agree! Pleaser]
“She’s completely insane–she’ll really kill mer
“Please, for our baby…”
Marcus caved immediately.]
“Fine. Just this once.”
I stared at him in a daze, barely recognizing the man in front of me.]
At our first wedding, when the officiant told us to kiss, he held me close, kissing me like the world was ending.]
Like nothing could ever tear us apart.[]
Now, repeating our vows, he’d only get close to save another woman’s life.
I laughed bitterly.[]
As he leaned in, I pushed him away.
“Never mind.“]
“Marcus, this game sucks. It’s no fun at all.”
“I changed my mind. I still wanna kill her.“]
Marcus’s eyes went blood–red as he drew his gun.
“I already agreed! What more do you WANTI“]
“Reagan, you played me!”
He glared at his security detail.
“What are you waiting for? GRAB HER!”

Chapter 7
Surprisingly, the bodyguards didn’t move.[]
The way they looked at him had lost all its former respect.]
Someone brought me a chair. I sat down, sipping wine I’d brought specially.[]
“Marcus, how’d you get where you are today?“]
“I gave you a name and you actually think you’re the Steeles?“]
His fists clenched tight.
The next second, bodyguards stepped forward and knocked the gun from his hands.
It ended up back in mine.
The guests completely lost it.
After all, Marcus had invited them to his wedding.
With Marcus under my control, no one could guarantee their safety
Someone tried to run but got knocked unconscious and dragged away.
I drummed my fingers on the table.
Over and over, breaking everyone’s sanity.]
They dropped to their knees in unison.]]
“Miss Steele, we were just invited guests! We don’t know anything! Don’t even know the bride–please spare us!“]
I looked at Marcus. He stayed silent.]
“Mr. Steele doesn’t give a damn about your lives.“[]
“But I need an audience/”
“Anyone who crosses me DIESI“]
Marcus stood frozen, staring at my face like I was a stranger.]
I didn’t look at him, speaking directly to the camera:[]
“Do it.”
The next second, Marcus moved–lunging to hold me tight, probably afraid of what else might come out of my mouth.[]
want her to suffer like you
“Reagan, I know you’re not heartless.”
“Please, don’t hurt Wendy. She’s innocent.“]
“You want revenge? Take it out on me.’
“She’s pregnant too, just like you were. You really wanna watch another woman lose her child? You w did?”
He gripped me so hard I could barely breathe.]
“Like,me?”
“Marcus, so you DO know how much I suffered.“]
“Then why did you pretend not to see it?
“You want me to come for you? Are you BEGGING me?”
I slowly pushed him away, eyes empty of any former love.
“People who beg need to look the part.”
“Get on your knees.”
Marcus’s knees slammed into the floor with a loud thud.
“Please. Let Wendy go.”
I picked at my car irritably.]]
“Too quiet. Guess Wendy doesn’t matter much.“]
instantly, the screen showed another scream.]]
The knife pierced straight through her wrist.
Marcus went ballistic
“I SAID PLEASEP“[]
I frowned, face going cold.]
“That’s how you beg? With attitude?“]
“Seems like my gifts aren’t good enough for Mr. Steele. Continue.”
Another slash–Wendy’s other hand was ruined.
