Just as Randall was about to lift Lily’s leg and ravage her without restraint, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder.

Then his neck.

He looked down in utter disbelief and saw that Lily–somehow–was holding a small, razor–sharp blade.

The tip was pressed tightly against his throat.

Yes. Lily had a knife.

After everything she’d been through lately, she had stopped trusting her safety to luck. Knowing Elsa wasn’t going to give up easily, she’d purchased a self–defense necklace she’d seen online–just in case.

Its pendant was shaped like a cross.

But when unsheathed, it revealed a sleek, compact blade.

Against multiple men, this knife couldn’t save her.

But if she acted at the right moment–like now–and held it to one person’s throat, she might just buy herself a way out.

“You b*tch!”

Randall had never recovered from the humiliation she’d dealt him last time. When Elsa’s biological father Jimmy tipped him off that Lily was being sent to The Charmer, he’d brought along his most twisted companions to finally break her. He wanted to crush her until she obeyed him completely.

And now–again–she’d turned the tables.

His fury rose like a storm. Grinding his teeth, he growled, “If you don’t want to die, put the knife down!”

Lily’s strength was starting to return. With the blade in her hand, she felt bold and steady.

If she was lucky, the others would hesitate to act for fear of harming Randall, and they might just let her
