Chapter Four

Ophelia

“I don’t belong to anyone,” I snarled, but he laughed in my face instead.

Hatred like I’d never known before pounded through my body, reminding me how much anger I could muster for the right occasion. I could’ve killed Kain in cold blood for the devastation and death surrounding me.

But he was so young. So handsome. Surely he couldn’t have been the one to orchestrate all this? Surely someone else’s work was involved. No one this young could be this evil.

He quickly convinced me my naivety was wrong to assume him not to be the mastermind behind this senseless killing. He stepped closer to the pile of bodies and pulled out a long, sleek blade from behind him. He grinned at his own reflection in the steel, and then expertly separated Papa’s head from his shoulders.

I thought I would never stop screaming. My fear was immense, but my anger was stronger. One of the guards had knocked Ryker unconscious when he’d tried to reach for me, and Max watched horror-stricken as Kain returned, holding my father’s head by the blood-slicked hair.

I howled in pain, but he merely smiled at me in response.

“You want to say goodbye to Papa?” he asked innocently, and I cried louder.

The man tossed my father’s head to the side and came to kneel in front of me yet again. The guard had forced me to my knees, and we were now eye-to-eye.

“You’re very pretty,” Kain told me roughly, almost like it was painful for him to give me a compliment. “But I’m going to make you very, very fucking ugly instead.”

My chest tightened in fear.

“Are you scared?” he asked sweetly. “You should be. I’m going to break you in so many ways your appearance won’t matter at all. I’m going to make sure you look a million bucks, but your soul will be crushed into a thousand pieces.”

“Let them go!” I screamed when one of the guards kicked Max’s stomach for no reason at all. “Please, take me, just let them go!”

“Let them go?” Kain repeated mockingly. “I don’t think so. Actually, we’re going to hurt them. But maybe just one, one can stand behind to spread my name. Make sure people know who did this.”

He regarded the twins with a bone-chilling gaze, and I shivered as he cocked his head to the side and looked back at me.

“What do you think, dolly?”

Dolly. What a wicked nickname. It made me feel like a toy he wanted to play with. And I didn’t want him to lay a single finger on me.

“Don’t hurt them,” I begged. “Please, just don’t hurt them.”

“Choose,” Kain taunted. “Choose which one of them you want us to let go.”

“No,” I cried out helplessly. “Please, don’t make me.”

“Do it,” he snarled. “Or they both die.”

With my bottom lip trembling, I looked at the two men on the ground. Ryker having come to, both of them stared at me with broken expressions, neither of them saying a word.

“Ryker,” I whispered. “Save Ryker.”

Max had hung his head a second prior to when I spoke, as if he’d accepted his fate.
