[ LEINA ]
His eyes are brown, not green. His hair is dark, not blonde.
I repeat the facts like a refrain, desperate to convince my heart to slow down. He is not my father. He is not the men from the penthouse.
But the shaking won't stop.
I hate that he's seeing me like this... trembling, vulnerable, stripped of my steel. I'm gripping his coat as if it's the only thing keeping me from falling into the endless pit of my memories.
He knows now. He knows I'm tainted.
If he decided to kill me right now, there would be no fight left in me. For the first time in my life, I am completely, terrifyingly at someone's mercy.
[ ENZO ]
Seeing the panic in her eyes makes my blood turn cold.
My gut twists-a sickening reaction I can't explain. How is she doing this to me? I wrap my arms around her, holding her with a desperate tightness, like she's something precious that might shatter if I let go.
It's a nightmare.
This is the woman who has held bombs and knives with steady hands. To see her-my Dove-shaking in my arms is a reality I can't stomach.
We are supposed to be enemies.
But right now, all I want to do is burn the world down until I find the person who did this to her.
