Suki:
He turned around instantly and slapped me across the face so hard I thought my teeth were gone. Even Leysa gasped.
"Don’t ever fucking say her name with that filthy mouth," he screamed. "You hear me?"
My breath caught in my throat.
"And who would tell her, huh?" he continued. "Who would fucking tell her anything? You would have lived to tell her, right? But that’s never going to happen."
At that moment, everything made sense. He had never planned to let me go. He only showed me his worst side because I was never meant to leave.
I was beginning to feel the heat now. This was not supposed to happen.
I had returned to life after months. Something impossible had been done by Joshua, and I could not let it be taken away from me.
"What do you plan for me?" I asked Yorick, not understanding the reason behind him putting us in this room. "Why would you want to kill us?"
He had made it clear that it was not something I did that made him angry. But why? Were they just serial killers?
"Come on, think out loud." He snapped his fingers in front of my face, chuckling, resting one hand on the wall behind me as he hunched down to my level.
"I’m not going to tell anyone," I tried again, fumbling over my words.
"Exactly what are you not going to tell the world?" he questioned, squatting in front of me once more.
"Whatever you are doing here, just let me go, please," I pleaded, hinting that I would not even speak about letting go of Laysa. She was not my concern.
"Hm. Oriana, I cannot let you go. That is the bottom line. You have to die. It is important, you know?" he replied calmly.
I started to lose my head.
"Wait. You think I’m Oriana, right?" I asked, pointing at him. "What if I tell you a secret of mine that will," I paused, "help you have something over me so you can let me go?"
Without fear of telling anyone about his secrets, I decided to give him leverage over me. Of course, who would even believe him if he went around telling people? By then, I would have all kinds of knowledge about Oriana with me.
"Really? What if I tell you I don’t care about any secrets? I just want to be done with it," he remarked.
As he spoke, he stepped away, and at that point, I was scared.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
He wandered over to the door and knocked on it, drawing the attention of the warriors as they entered.
"Untie this one," he told them, pointing at me.
"No, wait, wait. What are you doing?" I panicked, struggling as the warriors moved closer to untie me and take me away.
