Chapter 141

• Lucia's POV
• Blindfold came off rough, yanked hard, and the world slammed into focus.. cliff-side hacienda sprawling like a beast under the stars, ocean crashing below, salt air mixing with cigar smoke thick in the room.
• My eyes stung from the sudden light, heart jackhammering as guards shoved me forward, Ryan stumbling beside me, his breath ragged, blood seeping fresh through the bandage on his side. Hands zip-tied behind, wrists raw already.
