Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 952

Endora blinked through tears, terror gripping her as she glanced at her left hand, trapped in the man's iron grip, threatening to snap her wrist in two. The man's strength and ruthlessness were beyond her worst fears. Trembling, yet defiant, she managed to spit out, "At... at my beach house."

"Let me repeat myself, where is Cherry? What are your people doing to her right now?" Parker's grip tightened as he yanked her to her feet.

Endora thought she could hear the sound of her bones begging for mercy!

Why!

A fierce unwillingness to die surged through her veins, igniting every angry nerve. Endora laughed, a quiet laugh that grew louder. Her gaze on Parker was haunting as she reached out, longing to touch his jawline.

Parker flinched away in disgust, "You think silence will save you? Let me show you my true colors. You seem to have the wrong impression of me."
