Calm.

Don’t show how he affects you.

“You shot Aleksandr, but he’s still alive. So now what? You kidnap me? To do what?”

Was it to lure Sacha here? But he was in the hospital.

Oleg ran a finger down the side of her face and continued to her neck. Then he dug it under her shirt, trying to reach her breasts. A shudder of revulsion ran through her.

She was going to have to burn these clothes. Then, scrub herself about twenty times.

“See? You want me. Your body wants me.”

“That wasn’t a shudder of pleasure, you moron.”

Slap!

Pain blossomed on her cheek, bringing tears to her eyes. She was used to him causing her pain, to him hitting her.

But he’d never hit her in the face before. He’d always been aware of the fact that she’d have to cover up any bruises he gave her.

“Stupid bitch,” he snarled at her. “You going to pay for that and everything else you put me through.”

Everythingshe’dputhimthrough?

What the hell was he talking about?

All she’d ever done was be bullied and ridiculed by him. And now it seemed like her life was going to come to an end.

Because of him.

Anger rose through her.

“I don’t know what you plan to do, but whatever it is, you won’t get away with it,” she told him. “Aleksandr will find you and punish you.”

Oleg let out a dark laugh. “That’s where you’re wrong. I’m so many steps in front of the Pakhan he have no chance of catching up. By the time he or his men realize that you missing, you be dead and I’ll be gone.” He placed his hand around the base of her neck, squeezing until her air cut off. “But first, there some business I have to take care of.”

He stepped back and she could finally take in several deep gasps of air. That was when she noticed that he had her phone in his hand.

Who was he calling?

Sacha?

How had he even gotten into her house and gotten her out? He had to have had help, which meant that one of Sacha’s men had betrayed him.

He was going to be so angry. Sofia had to find a way out of this mess. But she couldn’t see how with her hands tightly tied in front of her and her feet secured to the legs of the chair.

“Quiet now,” he told her. “We don’t want to scare Ms. Toresso.”

Miller? He was calling Miller? Why was Oleg suddenly interested in her?

Sofia guessed that it could only be because of her connection to Rogan.

Suddenly, someone walked in behind her and a hand was slipped over her mouth. She couldn’t see the person, which only added to her terror.

Who else was there?

“This isn’t Sofia,” Oleg suddenly said into the phone. “Although she close by. Are you alone? Think careful before you answer.”
