Disoriented and scared, Beatrice wakes up in the hands of her father's most feared enemy. --- When he stands up, I get a full view of just how massive this guy is. I barely come up to his chest. He stalks toward the door and locks it with a cold, deliberate click. My throat tightens. He shrugs off his black suit jacket and tosses it onto the table like it's nothing, then rolls up the sleeves of his dress shirt, exposing his forearms, muscles tense. Every move he makes feels like a warning. "Are you gonna kill me?" My voice cracks, but I can't stop the words from spilling out. Roy chuckles, but it's not the kind of laugh that puts you at ease. "No," he says, his tone sharp enough to cut, "but you'll wish I did once I'm done with you."
