I have to keep pushing him.

“You think your skinny little dick can do the trick?” I pant out, struggling to keep the misery out of my voice. “I bet that chicken you fuck every night can’t even feel it when it’s in.”

Dmitri jerks to his feet, anger twisting his brow as his hand lashes across my face.

Lights explode behind my eyes, and I feel something crunch in my mouth.

Shit. Was that a tooth, or my jaw he just broke?

Blood pools around my tongue, so I let it drip from my split lips onto my lap.

“I’m the one in control here!” His arm streaks back as he connects again with his fist, this time on the opposite side of my face.

Ringing drowns out Nikolai’s screams of rage.

I don’t know if I can take much more.

But, he’s out of nails.

“I bet this is the only way you get laid, isn’t it? Tying the girls up so they can’t run?” I spit at him.

Yep, it was definitely a tooth. It sticks to his lapel before slowly dropping onto the floor.

“Mila! Stop!” Nikolai roars.

I can hear the pleading.

This is my path.

I’ve had the happiest moments of my life with Nikolai and Elena. I hope one day, I’ll have my brother there, too. I’m sure this little bit of misery is nothing compared to how he’s suffered since falling into Ivan’s clutches.

I have to do anything I can to try and save him. All of us.

If this doesn’t work, we’re all doomed to die.

Taking a deep breath, I narrow my eyes and scowl at Dmitri. “I’d wager you can’t even get it up.”

This time, he hits me in the stomach, knocking the wind out of me.

As I sit gasping, he turns, knocking the stool out of his way, and stalks to the bench.

“I’ll show you getting fucked,” he mutters.

Slipping my hand from the loose restraint, I quickly unbuckle my other and my ankles.

Fuck, it hurts like crazy, but I pry the long spikes out of my thighs.

Nikolai watches me, and his eyes widen as he gestures to his own wrists.

Peeling my blood soaked ass from the seat, my legs try to rebel against the movement.

I give him a silent shake of my head. There’s no time to free him, yet.

Armed with the matching nails, I tiptoe behind Dmitri and throw out my heel into the back of his knee.

With a cry, he tumbles against the bench, grabbing the edge to hold himself up.

I use one of the nails to stab him in the neck.
