Blood rushed to my head. Throwing caution to the wind, I lunged forward, stretching my arms out and wrapping my hands around the man's throat with every ounce of strength I possessed.
"I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
"Selena, no! It's dangerous!" Ferris immediately rushed over, desperately prying my fingers away to pull me back from the suspect.
Of course I knew it was dangerous.
Even though the man was handcuffed to the desk, he was still a massive, six-foot-tall brute. He was more than strong enough to turn the tables and hurt me.
But I couldn't control the blind rage consuming me. I was losing my mind, desperate to end his life.
Lucille was still lying in the hospital, trapped in a deep coma.
I had originally thought someone had simply caught her off guard and slashed her throat. I never imagined she had endured so much torture beforehand.
This monster had tormented her in every conceivable way, all to force her to make a single phone call to lure me into a trap.
I wanted to strangle him. I wanted him dead. I wanted to avenge Lucille.
The man just let me choke him. His face turned red, and the veins in his eyes bulged, but his sinister grin only grew wider. "Kill me, and you still won't be able to protect the people you care about, Selena. You shouldn't have messed with the Thorne family."
My fury skyrocketed. In that split second, I genuinely wanted to crush his windpipe.
But Ferris hauled me back, wrapping his arms around me like a vice, desperate to calm me down. "Selena, he's already in police custody. He'll pay for what he did. But you can't be reckless. Let's calm down, okay?"
My hands had gone completely numb, my fingers trembling uncontrollably.

Story is fine but...Oh god! Such a slow and dragging story. She is always fainting or confused. Has no backbone, very irritating story. Better to avoid...
