Chapter 111 His Trick

• Blake POV
• Arkadi laughs, clapping his hands in mock delight. “Oh, Blake, this is priceless! Did you think I’d come to this meeting without ensuring every piece was in place?” His voice is thick with satisfaction. “You can call as much as you like, but you won’t reach them. They’re… let’s say, a bit ‘tied up’ at the moment. Incapacitated. And as for Axel, well, he’s taken care of too.”
• The room feels like it’s closing in, the weight of Arkadi’s trap settling around me, suffocating me. Alissia. He has Alissia. My mind races, every part of me screaming to do whatever it takes to get her back, to tear apart this smug bastard sitting across from me.
