“Ana, baby wake up,” I said in a whisper to a sleeping Anaya, for the millionth time since I’d found her covered in blood and passed out two days ago.

My heart had all but died seeing her so lifeless.

I should have stayed with her or brought her with me and none of this would have happened. No matter how strong she thought she was, Anaya was no competition for a man with at least a hundred pounds on her and no qualms with fighting dirty.

She killed him, asshole—she was strong enough.

I gripped the base of my neck.

The bruises on her face and the cut on her neck had begun to heal, and according to the doctors brought in by Trevolo, she had a concussion but no brain bleeds or permanent trauma. Sleep was the best medicine for her.

I couldn’t trust the motives of any doctor on Trevolo’s payroll, but I had no choice but to wait. There was no way to bring in a second opinion without compromising the investigation.

I hated waiting like this.

If the bastard Trevolo hadn’t dragged out the announcement with a cocktail hour, I’d have gotten back to the room in time. He’d done it on purpose to fuck with me.

I was well aware of the procedures in an auction like the one for Ana. The men who were interested in the auction had instructions to write down the highest possible bid for a night as my third and seal it in an envelope.

All the fucker had to do was read out each cap bid and go from there.

When I noticed Chase missing, I knew something was wrong. The beady-eyed fucker hadn’t kept his eyes off Ana from the moment he’d tried to touch her in her cell.

Thank God it was part of Trevolo’s rules to only read the winner in the presence of the bidders—it gave me an excuse to leave.

What I hadn’t expected was a frantic Ele running into the lounge to say Chase was dead.

I knew instantly it was in my suite. Finding Ana’s limp body had all but destroyed me. It had taken five men to hold me off the guards who’d left their posts for a smoke. I wanted them to suffer the same fate Chase had, and I had wanted to do it by throwing them from the third-story balcony.

The only consolation was that Trevolo had done the task for me.

The door to my bungalow opened, and I immediately knew who it was. There was only one person with the know-how to circumvent my security. Sebastian.

He appeared a few seconds later. “How is she doing?”

“Get lost, Weber.”

“Trevolo wants you at the house.”

“Tell him to fuck off too.”

“Stop being a dick. You’re lucky he let you hole up in here with her.”

“I don’t give a shit.” I was not going to leave Ana’s side until she was awake and trying to punch me again. “Why are you here, Weber?”

“As I said. To relay Trevolo’s messages.” He paused. “And to bring you some food.
