Audrey’s POV

I twisted free from the distracted guards and stumbled back several steps.

Thalia lunged at me but caught nothing but air – I’d already moved out of reach.

Astrid rushed from the elevator, grabbed my arm and pulled me behind her, shielding me with her body.

Astrid didn’t flinch. A cold smile spread across her face. “Is that so?”

Her voice rose. “The old man’s dead! Blake’s in a coma! I run this family now I’ll destroy you two bitches!”

The guards exchanged uncomfortable glances before slowly moving toward us.
