Chapter 39 Reckoning

• Two enormous shackles chained her arms, and someone dragged Maya against her will. She left the apartment alongside Bryan under a deadly silence.
• Bryan didn’t even look her in the eyes; he acted as if she were a stranger. A typical attitude for a traitor.
• Now he didn’t need to pretend to be humble. He unlocked the car and opened the door for her, still keeping his face turned away. Maya thought that might be the perfect moment to run, but the idea flashed through her mind and quickly disappeared. She looked at the ring resting on her finger and remembered she was bound to Joseph for five years. She could go to the ends of the earth, hide in the most remote mountain, and yet he would still find her.
