The logical part of my mind is calculating the seconds, the distance, but the primal part is submerged in the thrill, the danger, and a dark delight. “Anya,” Bastien’s voice rumbles through the room, a velvet caress that’s threaded with iron. “This game you’re playing, do you know how it ends?”

Hawthorne’s way of showing his courage to his enemy. "Tell Dominic that Kinsley Hawthorne is here," Mr. Hawthorne said authoritatively. The men exchanged glances briefly, then one of them nodded and walked into the lobby. Jasmine stayed close to Mr. Hawthorne, while Theodore remained vigilant, observing their surroundings. A few minutes later, the man who had spoken with the receptionist returned to Mr. Hawthorne. "Mr. Merrick is waiting in his office. Follow me."

Four of our men were already dead but there was still a chance for the rest of us to get out of this hellhole of a game. And we did.

We couldn't stop to watch or rescue him but we could smell the burning of fresh skin and the cry of intense pain while running for our lives.

“She doesn’t stay in the shadows like the others. People who’ve seen her say she’s… different.” “Different how?” He hesitated. “Unpredictable.
