Chapter 325 I’m Sorry

Lucky Draw

“What did Sebastian do to you? Why did he take you?” Vince squeezed his phone so hard his knuckles turned white.

He hadn’t slept all night, chasing down leads, but Sebastian had clearly covered his tracks perfectly. Vince couldn’t find a single damn clue.

“He didn’t do anything. He just wants me to recover from my injuries,” Riley said.

“Recover?” Vince’s brow furrowed.

“Yeah, that’s all. So don’t worry about me,” Riley said. The last thing she wanted was for Vince to go up against Sebastian because of her.

“Where are you right now?” Vince asked.

He needed to see her. He wouldn’t be able to relax until he saw

her with his own eyes.

“I’m-” Before Riley could answer, Sebastian snatched the phone out of her hand.

“Vince, you can try looking for us, but I guarantee you won’t find us for at least two weeks,” Sebastian said coolly.

“Sebastian, if you hurt Riley, I don’t care if the entire Torres

family is backing you up. I will make you pay,” Vince growled.

“Hurt her?” Sebastian’s eyes landed on Riley. “I’d die before I

hurt her.”

Riley’s heart skipped a beat.

He wasn’t just saying that to Vince. He was saying it to her too.

Riley reached out and took her phone back. “Vince, don’t worry about me. I’m really okay.”

“But-”

“Also, can you keep an eye on the Lincolns and Samuel for me?” Riley asked. Based on how things were going, she wouldn’t be able to get to Russia for at least two weeks.

“Yeah, I will,” Vince said.

After the call ended, Vince stared at his phone, then suddenly raised his fist and slammed it down hard on the desk.

He’d always been confident, maybe even arrogant. Nothing had ever felt impossible to him.

Even when his father had thrown him into military training and he’d faced setbacks there, it hadn’t bothered him. If someone hit him, he hit back harder.

The only other time he’d felt this helpless was three years ago, when he found out Riley had gotten married. That powerless feeling–he still remembered it vividly.

He’d thought he’d never feel that way again.

But now that awful, suffocating helplessness was spreading through his entire body again.

He knew Sebastian had taken Riley, but he had no idea where to even start looking for her.

The Torres family… Sebastian…

Sebastian had said he wouldn’t hurt Riley, not even a little. So why couldn’t Vince shake this terrible feeling?

Like something terrible was going to happen during those two weeks!

No, it wouldn’t. He wasn’t going to just sit around and wait. He had to find Riley as soon as possible and bring her back.

Since Riley was stuck here for two weeks anyway, she decided not to butt heads with Sebastian.

Sure, Sebastian had trapped her on this island, but at least she could still use her phone and the internet. The only problem was

that Sebastian had messed with the location data somehow, so she couldn’t figure out exactly where this island was.

Other than that, it was just like Sebastian had said. Nobody else was on the island except the two of them. Robots handled all the cleaning and maintenance.

Sebastian drove Riley around the perimeter of the island so she could see for herself. The island wasn’t very big, and it was pretty obvious there were no boats or helicopters anywhere.

So unless someone came to pick her up from the mainland, or she wanted to jump in the ocean and swim back, she was stuck here.

Sebastian also insisted on changing her bandages himself. Her gunshot wound was on her back shoulder, so yeah, it would’ve been hard to do it herself anyway.

In the living room, Riley pulled her shirt down and exposed her left shoulder.

His fingers brushed lightly over the wound. “Does it hurt?”

His voice was soft, almost a murmur in her ear.

“Not really. If you’re going to put the medicine on, just do it already—” Riley stopped mid–sentence. Something soft was touching her wound.

It took her a second to realize–he was kissing it.

“Sebastian, what the hell are you doing?” She tried to pull away, but his hand held her firmly in place.

His lips kept moving over her wound, gentle and careful, like he was kissing something precious and fragile.

Riley frowned. “This isn’t appropriate. We’re not together anymore. Don’t make me fight you.”

Her left shoulder might be injured, but if they actually got into it, she could still hold her own.

“I’m sorry.” The words came out quiet and broken.

Riley went rigid. His voice continued in her ear.

“I’m sorry. I got there too late. I couldn’t protect you. I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…”

Riley pressed her lips together. “You don’t have anything to apologize for. This injury isn’t your fault.”

“If I’d gotten there sooner, you wouldn’t have been hurt.” Because he would’ve done everything in his power to protect

her.

She had no idea what it had been like for him–seeing her white clothes soaked in blood, watching her collapse unconscious in

Vince’s arms. In that moment, his entire world had gone dark.

He’d been terrified she was going to die. Terrified he’d never hear her voice again, never feel her warmth, never see those eyes looking at him.
