Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 198

No amount of plastic surgery could save him now; the skin on his face had been slashed so brutally, it was barely holding together in shreds.

Even the most hardened kidnappers, men who'd seen it all, couldn't help swallowing hard at the sight.

They already knew just how ruthless this man could be-they'd witnessed it firsthand last time.

A scream tore through the tense silence.

Elise had never seen anything so horrific. Her legs threatened to give out, her stomach twisted in agony, and panic forced her to break.
