Hellfire's Fangs Bite Deep
On the day I donated my kidney, I never thought my wife, Rebecca Tanner, would cut open her own heart and confess her regrets.
After all, she had staged her own death in a bombing, all so she and Mason Sanders could test my loyalty.
All she left me was two billion in gambling debt and a contract selling me into slavery.
The creditor said they would leave her body in the grave and spare it from being fed to the hyenas. But to do that, I had to sign a contract with my blood and become their pet from then on.
After that, I was locked in an iron cage beneath an underground fighting ring.
By day, they chained me up and forced me to lick the blood from the winners' shoes. At night, they injected me with drugs and threw me into the fighting ring, turning me into a living toy for the wealthy to bet on.
One broken rib doubled the stakes. One lost tooth added another ten thousand dollars.
When I heard that my parents had been stripped and thrown into the mouth of a volcano alive, I broke completely. Covered in blood, I snapped the iron chain and rushed to the volcano.
Instead, I found my "dead" wife gently lighting Mason's cigarette.
Mason puffed out a ring of smoke and sneered. "We still have ten seconds left on the bet, Rebecca. You've lost."
