Chapter 2 Marcus went white as a sheet , forcing out this fake ass smile . " Oh Mr. Harrington , you're kidding , right ? Someone like me ? I'd never be important enough to talk to you ! " Dominic didn't think twice about it . He just walked out . He was too busy rushing off to save Lily to give a damn about some random detail like that . Thing is , his gut was right . He had talked to Marcus before . Three days ago , when Marcus kidnapped me, he'd called Dominic asking for fifty grand ransom . Dominic had heard his voice . You were so close , Dominic . So damn close to figuring out that the guys who sold me and the guys who grabbed me were the same people . Just that close to noticing- That the body nobody gave a shit about on that table ... That was me . Lily's birthday was the same day I got kidnapped . While I was getting messed with in that old abandoned factory , Dominic was shooting off fireworks down by the river for Lily . Millions of dollars worth of professional - grade fireworks , just because Lily liked shiny things . Marcus called him up , and I could hear Dominic flirting with Lily in the background . He was saying , " You like it , baby ? If you want , we can do this again next time . Money's no problem - I just want you happy . " Marcus yelled into the phone , " Bring fifty grand ! Or we're gonna hurt Nora Shirley ! " When he heard my name , Dominic just laughed even harder . He goes , " If you actually manage to kill her , come find me for a reward , " and hung up . I felt like I was dying inside . Didn't even want to fight anymore . Marcus lost his shit and slapped me so hard my face went sideways . " Fucking worthless bitch ! Not even worth fifty grand ! " " Boys , since Dominic won't pay up , let's give his fiancée a little welcome party ! " Looking around , every single one of them wanted to tear me apart . My body was shaking from pure terror , but inside ? I was going numb . Again . Dominic threw me away again . This time , Lily didn't even have to lift a finger . She beat me without even trying . These psychos didn't get their money , so they took it out on me instead . 10.8 % Pirth2 1 Charged Him in Court for EVERYTHING Chapter 2 They started betting on how long I'd last . Some said an hour , others sald a day . Finally , early morning on the second day , I died . If a coroner ever did an autopsy on me , they'd just scratch their heads trying to figure out what really killed me . Every wound went down to the bone . From head to toe , there wasn't a single piece of skin left intact . I followed Dominic to the hospital . He handed over the kidney he'd carved out of me to the doctors , his voice ice cold . " If anything goes wrong in that surgery , I'm burring this whole hospital down . " The doctors were shaking so hard they could barely speak . They rushed off to prep everything . Dominic headed for the patient room to see Lily , but someone blocked his path . It was his best friend , Jake Morris - the only person who ever gave a damn about me . Jake grabbed Dominic's shoulder . " Dominic , what the hell is wrong with you ? Have you ever been this good to your own fiancée ? " Dominic shoved his hand away . " Nora's doing just fine !
