Semua Bab Saved by Sin: Bab 41 - Bab 50

After the checkup was completed, we returned to the garage, and I was given the medication the doctor had prescribed, along with clear instructions not to overexert myself. The place felt strangely familiar despite everything, as if something in me recognized it even when my mind refused to cooperate.I moved slowly, allowing my steps to guide me rather than forcing any thought, my gaze wandering across the space as I tried to piece together fragments of something I could not yet fully grasp. The faint scent of oil, metal, and something warmer lingered in the air, grounding me in a way I could not explain.And then—My eyes stopped.There, hanging neatly against the wall, was a uniform.My breath caught slightly as I stepped closer, my fingers lifting instinctively

“Hello…”Her voice came lightly, almost as if nothing had happened, as she turned her attention toward me after finally pulling away from Dominic.Finally, the word echoed in my mind before I could stop it, and I was mildly startled by the quiet annoyance that followed. I had no clear reason for it, yet the feeling lingered stubbornly beneath the surface.I offered a small, polite smile. “Hey.”“This is Sierra,” Gregori said smoothly, gesturing toward me before motioning to the woman. “And this is Maya. She will take care of your hair.”Maya tilted her head slightly, her sharp gaze softening with curiosity as she looked me over before gesturing for me to follow her.“Come,” she said warmly.I followed her deeper into the salon, the atmosphere shifting into something calmer, more personal, as she guided me toward a chair and gently motioned for me to sit.“Tell me,” she said as she began running her fingers lightly through my hair, “what would you like me to do?”I met her gaze through

The atmosphere changed the moment Carlo stepped out of the car.What had been a quiet, almost peaceful moment between Dominic and me shifted instantly into something tense and suffocating, as if the air itself had grown heavier, pressing down on my chest and making it harder to breathe.Carlo’s lips curved into a mocking smile as his gaze locked onto Dominic, clearly amused by what he saw.“I see they haven’t caught you yet, bastardo russo,” Carlo said with a mocking smile, his tone filled with provocation as he referred to the police who were searching for Dominic because of the kidnapping accusation, completely unaware that the woman standing right beside him was the same one he believed had been taken.

The moment Gregori’s car sped away from the chaos behind us, the sound of gunfire gradually faded into the distance, but the tension inside my chest refused to follow, remaining tight and suffocating as if it had rooted itself deep within me.I kept looking back.Even when there was nothing left to see but an empty stretch of road disappearing behind us, my eyes remained fixed on it, searching, hoping, waiting for something—anything—that would tell me he was still there, still standing, still alive.“Sit back, Sierra,” Gregori said calmly from the driver’s seat, his voice steady despite everything that had just happened.I did not move.I could not.“But, Dominic is still there,”

I did not remember falling asleep, only that at some point after everything that had happened, after the pain, the exhaustion, and the overwhelming weight of emotions I had been trying to hold together, my body had simply given in.When I opened my eyes again, the room was dim, the soft glow of early morning light filtering through the curtains and casting faint shadows across the walls, and for a moment, I lay still, disoriented, trying to gather my thoughts.Then—I felt it: warmth, steady and close.My gaze shifted slowly, and my breath caught slightly when I realized that I was not alone.Dominic was still there.He sat beside the bed, leaning slightly back in the chair as if sleep had taken him without permission, his head tilted just enough to suggest he had been fighting it for a long time before finally giving in.One of his hands still rested near mine, close enough that I could feel the lingering warmth of it, as though he had been holding onto me not long ago and had only ju
