Vengeance of the Fallen Heir: From Cell to CEO
I launched myself off the bed with a sound that was half roar, half broken human noise.
The straitjacket made it clumsy, made it ugly, but rage gave me force where reason couldn’t. I hit him hard enough that the bread and water flew from his hands and bounced across the padded floor. We staggered sideways and I tried to drive him backward with my shoulder, tried to use my weight, my knees, anything…
But he was stronger.
And calmer.
And he knew exactly how to handle a desperate restrained man.
He caught me, pivoted, and in the same terrifying breath slammed me sideways hard enough that the wall took some of the impact before his hand cracked across my face.
