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!

But like her lips were sealed by iron, she knew she couldn't speak. Revealing anything meant losing her leverage, and with it, her life.

She stared at Parker, his face as devilishly handsome as ever, the very image she'd obsessed over. But why, despite all her schemes and efforts, did he not love her back?

Instead, his disdain for her only grew, to the point where now, for Tiana, he was ready to end her?

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."

Without hesitation, he snapped her left wrist. His steel-toed boots lightly crushed her ankles, one and then the other. Endora's screams filled the room.

Both her ankles were broken.

Her hands, useless.

Now, the woman lay crumpled on the damp floor, a sight no better than a corpse.
