“Ms. Briggs, are you pleased with your new surroundings?” Brendan stood tall, dressed in a sleek, camel coat, one hand casually gripping a pink suitcase.

Freya's eyes drifted to the suitcase,

Something told her the grudge Brendan held against Kristian had everything to do with whoever that prok suitcase once belonged to.

Keeping her voice even, she met his gaze and replied, “Illegal weapons, a private army-you do know there charges alone could lock you away for a long, long time, don't you?"

"I'm aware," Brendan replied, utterly unfazed, "but what of it?"

Freya's brow tensed just slightly. This was going to be difficult.

"Sir, he's arrived," a guard announced, approaching briskly.

Brendan's lips curled, a subtle smirk tugging at the corners. "Bring him in.*

And just like that, Kristian was led forward.

He wore nothing but a white shirt, pale from the cold, yet he carried himself with the kind of commanding presence that made the entire space feel like it belonged to him.

Freya's eyes locked onto his. Kristian looked back.

No words passed between them.

After confirming Freya was unharmed, Kristian turned to Brendan and cut to the chase.

Even though he was the one taken hostage, he carried himself with the quiet command of a man still in control, as if the entire room answered to him. "I'm here now. Care to explain what this is all about?"

"Gladly," Brendan answered, smiling.

But just as Kristian opened his mouth again, he caught sight of a gun being raised-aimed directly at Freya's

head.

His eyes darkened, voice cutting through the tension like ice. "Let her go."

"I will," Brendan said smoothly, twirling a dagger in his other hand before offering it

to him. "Take this and ot your left wrist. The blood needs to cover that stone over there. Only then will she be released."

He pointed at a spot outlined in red.
