HIS DOE, HIS DAMNATION (An Erotic Billionaire Romance) novel Chapter 179

Meadow’s POV:

My jaw clenched and I scowled at him deeply.

“Don’t look so bum,” he drawled, waving the phone in his hand at me. “Your rescue team is coming. Though it is going to take some time.”

“Let me go, you fucking asshole,” I seethed. “Alaric is going to kill you!”

My gaze narrowed, and I forced myself to remain steady even though my heart was pounding hard against my chest.

‘Your rescue team is coming.’ That meant he must’ve contacted Alaric or Alaric already knew where I was.

Either way, he was in danger.

Tyler’s eyes flashed, and he stepped forward. I didn’t see his hand coming toward my face until it was too late, and even if I could, there’s no way I would’ve avoided it. My head snapped to the side from the force of his palm against my cheek, and a pained gasp escaped me.

“Wrong, doll,” he said, laughing. “I’m not the one dying tonight. Your pretty boyfriend is.”

My eyes stung as tears began to blur my vision. I shook my head violently. I couldn’t cry. Not here. Not in front of them.

I forced my gaze back to them. Juniper had an expression that I couldn’t decipher, but then it turned into a glare. “You thought you won, huh?” Tyler continued, gripping my jaw hard and forcing me to look at him. “Thought you could make a fool of me and get away with it?” His grip tightened even more, but instead of crying out in pain, I spat on his face. “Fucking bitch!” Tyler growled in disgust. “You’re going to fucking pay for that.”

He reared his elbow back and I tensed, ready to receive whatever he was going to give me…

But the blow never came.

“Baby,” Juniper’s voice cut through the atmosphere and I watched as she placed her hand on his arm in an attempt to draw him back. “We need to talk. Now,” she added sternly when he didn’t move.

Juniper didn’t look at me as she walked out of the room, and Tyler gave me one last dirty look. “Coming back for you, cunt,” before he followed after her.

I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. But it was barely out before the panic began to build all over again.

I had to figure out a plan. I had to escape. I looked around the room but there was nothing I could use.

I needed to warn Alaric somehow. A sob broke out and it took a second for me to realize that it came out from my throat.

My father’s death was the least of my problems. Alaric, however…

I couldn’t do without him.

I… I couldn’t imagine a world without him in it. A world where my husband was killed by my sister… No. I couldn’t let that happen.

I moved my hands behind me as much as I could, because I needed to find something. Anything. There just had to be something I could use to cut the rope.
