Luke let go of Nav and faced X instead. Now Nav’s gun was now over Luke’s heart.
Through a deadly expression, Luke asked, “Why did you let me leave with her if you were just gonna hand us over to your father?”
Nav immediately let out, “We needed to know what Sloan shared with you. I knew she’d bring you here. It’s really quite simple. Oh, by the way,” he snidely stated to him, “Thanks for letting me know about the evidence she had.”
“No!” I screamed bloody murder. “What did you do to Eric?”
Nav smiled. “Don’t worry about it. He’ll live to see another day.”
“He doesn’t know anything,” I confessed. “He was just holding the files for me,” I spoke the truth. “Please…”
They ignored me.
Like I wasn’t their sister.
Their blood.
Like I was nothing more than our father’s property and that hurt most of all.
“Let’s just cut the dramatics,” X clipped. “I don’t want to keep Dad waiting any longer than we already have. You know he has no patience. Now get dressed, and let’s go.”
I did as I was told.
When in reality, I wanted to run.
LUKE
The next thing I knew, their guns were simultaneously on my forehead, and I welcomed the refreshing feel of the cold metal against my heated flesh.
With that, X pistol-whipped me, but I caught myself on the wall. Using the momentum from my fall, I used my fist to coldcock him in the jaw with so much power that it knocked him into the door. A loud crack let us know his weight almost broke it.
Glaring up at me through the slit of his eyes, X spit blood in my face, spewing, “We could do this all night.”
Wiping my cheek with the back of my hand, I tried to govern my breathing, but my blood was boiling. Fuming with rage, I internally prayed, though it was useless.
I was eternally doomed for the sins I created.
Before I knew it, we were in their private jet. Except this time, we were tied to the leather seats, sitting in front of each other.
Sloan looked so defeated.
Exhausted.
Broken.
Lost.
Her head hung low, staring aimlessly out the window. My heart tightened to the point of pain from seeing her so lifeless when she was always so lively and strong.
Not eyeing me, she profusely apologized, “I’m so fucking sorry, Luke.”
I took a deep, reassuring breath. “It’s not your fault.”
“I never in my wildest nightmares thought it would go down like this. What did I do to deserve this?” Tears streamed down her face as her lips trembled. “Why is it so hard for someone to love me?”
I didn’t hesitate in speaking with conviction…“I fuckin’ love you.”
