Professor Lucien
With the ropes binding me, I’m nothing but dead weight—it’s too easy for him.
He rips me from Yasmin’s grip. I thrash, kicking wildly, until my body slams against the floor. Pain shoots up my spine, stealing my breath.
"How am I supposed to make a huge transfer without anything?" Professor Lucien snarls, his eyes darting to mine—fear flickering in them.
The man’s hand slides to his belt. I scramble back, ropes biting my skin. Lucien lunges, yanking me up from the floor. Before I can steady myself, Oscar’s leg slams between us, sending me crashing across the room.
