Even Damon’s boys freeze.

They clearly didn’t expect this sweet little act to suggest actual murder.

Damon’s pupils shrink.

He glances at me instinctively, something complex flickering in his eyes.

But that hesitation lasts half a second before pure viciousness takes over.

He’s made his choice.

“Emma’s right.”

“Anyone who fucks with me on my turf pays the price.”

He jerks his chin at the security team.

“Drag her out. Feed her to the fish.”

The guards immediately move in with sick grins.

Emma hides behind Damon, victory written all over her face.

But I don’t move. Hell, I start laughing.

Laughing so hard my whole body shakes, tears streaming down my face.

Damon, you really think you still run this world?”

The second I finish speaking, the heavy ornate doors explode open.

While everyone’s dodging, he spins and crashes through the floor to ceiling window,

CRASH!

The massive glass wall explodes. Flying shards slice his arm open.

Before escaping, Damon locks eyes with me one last time.

Those cold eyes hold rage. Resentment. And something that looks like betrayal.

“Go! Go!”

The officer roars, leading the chase.

I run to the broken window.

Damon’s on the lawn below, rolling and already sprinting toward the woods behind the vineyard.

‘He won’t get far! We’ve got the whole place surrounded!”

The lead cop barks into his radio. “All units, seal every exit!”

Watching Damon disappear into the forest, my fingers turn ice cold.

I know he won’t go down easy.

He doesn’t say much, just walks over and drapes his coat around my shoulders, voice deadly serious: “You hurt?”

“No.”

I shake my head, looking toward the forest where Damon disappeared. “But he got away.”
