"I want to see whether her body or yours has more organs left." Samuel smiled with confident certainty. "You won't." "Sophia, I know you. You love me too much to tear us apart from a child."
Before he could finish, a girl's soft moan came over the line.
Samuel struck the man on the ground with one blow.
He hurried away, still longing for Serena Rowe.
After that incident, Samuel guarded Serena Rowe even more closely.
I held nothing back.
If I could not find her, I would destroy her.
In seven days, I hit thirty-seven docks and eighteen satellite casinos.
Wherever Serena Rowe had been, I smashed and burned it.
One day, while I was raiding a casino, my man called.
"Sophia, something terrible is happening! Someone is trying to demolish Miss Maggie's grave!"
"What?"
My eyes widened instantly, and I drove straight there, tires screaming, heart pounding like a drum. Memory after memory flashed — the child's laughter, the box, the silence. When I reached the cemetery gate, my hands shook, but my steps were steady. I would not let them desecrate her resting place. Not now, not ever. I promised myself blood for blood if anyone dared touch that grave. No second chance.
