he shouted, grabbing my arm as he fell to his knees before me. “What’s going on, Matthew? What happened to you?” “It’s not me; it’s Willow. She’s in trouble. She needs you, please hurry.” Fear surged through me, and my heart skipped a beat at the mention of my daughter. What had happened to my child? “What’s wrong, Matt? What happened to Willow?” I asked, rising from my chair and grabbing Matthew by the arm, helping him to stand on his feet. He looked at me, his voice trembling with fear. “Rogues have surrounded her, and they are about to kill her. We have to hurry and rescue her without delay.”

he gasped and went quiet. Declan somehow managed to get himself into a sitting position. The blood helped a little, but not as much as he had hoped it would. “What’s going on?” “There are thousands of them,” Matthew said, the fear naked in his voice.

“You broke into my home, slipped past my guards to gain my audience, and now you’re lazily sipping my wine. Get to the point, I’m losing my patience.” Collin smiled, then he gently placed the glass on the table with a soft clink. “Alright,” he said casually. “I have an enemy. And that enemy has just recently made a very powerful friend. A friend whom I’ve also provoked into our fight.” He leaned forward slightly. “Because I have something that belongs to my enemy… and something else that belongs to his powerful friend.” He looked at Matteo pointedly. “Are you following?” Matteo grinded his jaw as he rose from his seat, his hands clenched at his sides and his body trembling with rage. “You th

“Halted? Right now I do not understand a single thing you are saying.” “Listen to me, Matteo,” Evan said, his gaze fixed on him. “No. You listen to me,” Matteo shot back. “I will not allow this to pass. Not after the destruction and the lives they stole.” His voice vibrated with fury. Silence settled for a breath as Matteo stood trembling with anger, his chest rising and falling sharply. Evan simply watched him, unable to speak. “We are only beginning,” Matteo said at last, turning to leave.

he hangs the lantern on a rusted hook, its light spilling across the room. Khatri then turns around and God help him, there is Matthew. Tied to a bed in the center of the room, he’s spreadeagled, wrists and ankles pinned to the posts with coarse ropes that dig into his creamy flesh. Matthew’s back arches off the mattress, sweat, and dry vomit streaking his pale skin, plastering dark hair to his forehead. his eyes are squeezed shut, blood-red lips dried, flaky, and parted, chest heaving beneath a torn shirt. the sight of him…restrained and vulnerable makes Khatri’s throat tighten as a distant shameful heat stirs in his loins.

Matthew's loud voice brought Anna's mind back a bit, and she looked at him in confusion. "You still have to face the truth. You can't run away. You need to be strong and brave, and not lock yourself up in negative thoughts. Do you want to die?" Matthew asked bluntly, turning his back and walking into the kitchen. The broken pieces of glass on the ground were like needles stabbing into his eyes. He picked up a piece of glass and said angrily, "Do you want to die? This piece of glass is enough to kill you. Your blood will slowly flow out, draining your strength and consciousness. Each drop of blood will resist and cling to your veins..."

The very next second, two club security guards rushed in, grabbing Matthias by both arms. Matthias thrashed frantically, hurling one last curse at Naomi. "Naomi Prescott, listen here, if I'm going down, you're coming with me! I have proof of you embezzling company funds. I'll make sure you rot in prison with me! We'll go down together!" "Shut up! Shut the fuck up!" Naomi screeched, lunging forward to cover his mouth. The room immediately descended into chaos. I watched the farce unfold coldly until Matthias was forcibly dragged out the door, and his vicious curses echoed down the hallway.

Casper explained ignoring his mother's words “Do you think I care about those things now? I warned you about it . Francesco just wanted to let you know he now has enough power to defeat you . “ Susan said still angry “The elders think Matthew is a spy and they are arranging a search for him. You know what's going to happen then. “ Casper explained “The person is clearly instigating the others , we just have to get to Matthew before they do .” Susan said “ Mathew's disappearance happened so suddenly that even I myself suspected him. Many things have been happening since he left. “ Casper said

“ You do know that it's only Tuesday today, the third day of the week. ” “ I know, right? ” “ Yeah. My favorite verse for this week is Matthew 6vs25. Which says, “ Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not life more than meat, and the body more than raiment? ” “ Oh, wow. That's a very beautiful verse. Mine has been, Ephesians 4 vs 32. Which says, “ And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. ”

He’s coming to save me! But as she watched, the hope turned into a sickening, oily horror. Matthew wasn't being held at gunpoint. He wasn't fighting. He walked right up to one of Romeo’s guards, pulled a small black bag from his jacket, and handed it over. The guard laughed and patted Matthew on the back, and Matthew headed toward the main entrance like he was a guest arriving for a party. He hadn't been running from them. He was working with them.
