Chapter 98

Kelly POV

The night was as silent as it was suffocating. My breath came in shallow, uneven gasps as I waited, alone in the dimly lit room where someone had left me. My hands were tied behind my back, my ankles bound to the chair. Somehow I woke up here, my mind foggy and I couldn’t remember how I came here. Somewhere in this cruel place, Aiden could be close and was being held, scared, confused, and unaware of why his world had been ripped apart.

Aiden. The thought of him kept me focused, despite the fear clawing at my chest.

The light creak of a door opening snapped me to attention. Footsteps echoed, heavy and purposeful, growing louder with each passing second. My body tensed as I noticed from the break of my eye that it was Davis who had stepped into the room, his smirk as cruel as ever.

“Comfortable?” he drawled, circling me like a predator.

“What do you want, Davis?” My voice was steady, despite the terror threatening to consume me.
