Everyone around me is talking but I can't hear a single word that they're saying. All I can think about is Lia.

Everyone is at the warehouse right now while aunt Kate is with Milo back at the manor.

Ms. Salvic said that she can help Lia so now I have no choice but to trust her.

While everyone is on the top floor listening to everything my father is saying, I'm leaving to go down to the basement.

The only person who of course notices me leaving is Michael.

"What are you doing?" He ask jogging up to catch up to me.

Not stopping as I'm heading down the steps, I respond with, "to talk to the scientist."

I nod at the guard to open the door but Michael grabs my should to spin me around to face him.

"How do you know that you can trust her?!" He throws his hands up when I glare at him.

"I have no fucking choice." I spit out venomously. "Lia is fucking gone and the bitch said that she knows who took her and that she can help her."

I turn back around and open the door. Michael not following me.

I switch the light on and have to squint my eyes to get use to the brightness. I see Sasha still tied up in the center of the room but this time she's not bloodied up. I made sure that a doctor came by to clean her up.

I walk up to her until I'm right in front of her. I glare down at her before speaking.

"Tell me what you know."

Sasha looks up at me with wide eyes.

"They took her didn't they." She nearly whispers. I furrow my brows and lean more into her personal space.

"Who. Who the fuck too her." I lean my arm against her chair and bend down.

Tears well up in her eyes but she quickly blinks them away.

"Please. I can help her if you let me. I never wanted this to go as far as it did. She's just a child." She pleads and I take a step back.

"Why do you want to help her? You were one of the ones who tortured her!" I raise my voice an octave and she flinches. Good, let her be scared of me.

"I never intended to. Her father said that it was for a good cause and I owed him my life. I wanted to return the favor but I had no idea that it involved torturing and experimenting on his daughter!"

I think for a moment as I look at the middle aged woman sitting in front of me with tears now falling down her face. Lia is my top priority right now and I would do anything to protect her. Anything to get her back to me.

"How can you help her." I ask as I take a small step up to her.

She lets out a shaky breath, "I helped her father create the pills to help keep her alive. I can do it again but it'll take some time."

"How much time?" I ask immediately.

Ms. Salvic thinks for a moment. "A few days. Maybe four at most. I just need her blood and I can take care of the rest."

I nod and turn around to leave the basement but her voice stops me.

"Wait."

I stop in my tracks but I don't turn around. I wait for her to continue.

"You love her don't you." It was more of a statement than a question and my body tenses at it.

Of course I fucking love her. I've loved her since we were kids. I'd do anything for her. I just want to hold her again.
