| kept my eyes on her, but suddenly, Sasha's face started to blur. | shook my head, about to say something,
when she spoke first.
"It wasn't his wife's dream this time. He said he wanted to meet you."
"What?" The word barely left my lips before everything went completely fuzzy.
Next thing | knew, | felt Sasha's arm around me, her voice soft. "Just rest for a bit."
Rest?
A little voice insidequestioned, but | couldn't even open my mouth to respond. My eyelids felt heavy as lead,
and | couldn't speak. | felt myself being lifted, then placed in a car, though where they were taking me, | had no
idea.
At spoint, someone held a cup of water to my lips. | drank, blinking my eyes open to see a tall, unfamiliar
man. But | knew him-one of Thorsten's bodyguards.

Remembering Sasha's last words before | blacked out, everything started to click
1 shifted groggily and asked the man, "Where's Thorsten?"
He ignored me, turning to leave.
That's when | realized my hands and feet were bound, leavingpretty much stuck. | glanced around, trying to
get my bearings. The place looked like an old, abandoned repair shop, with stacks of worn-out tires piled nearby.
It wasn't hard to piece together why Thorsten hadhere. He didn't wantdigging around in his past.
Whatever he had planned, it wasn't good.
Panic washed over me. | wasn't sfearless hero; the thought of death scared me, and my heart hammered
with dread.
But | forced myself to breathe. There was a reason they'd just tiedup instead of going further. The bodyguard
had even givenwater, which meant Thorsten likely wanted to talk first,
Sure enough, a few minutes later, | heard a car engine outside, followed by the bodyguard's respectful greeting:
"Boss."
The door creaked open, and Thorsten stepped in, dressed head to toe in white.
"Keira, we meet again," he said with a smile.
| didn't flinch. "This isn't exactly my idea of a pleasant reunion."
He chuckled, stepping closer. "Then why'd you insist on provoking me, hmm?" He settled into a chair his
bodyguard brought over, his eyes locked on mine.
"If you hadn't harmed my family first, why would | ever need to provoke you?" | shot back, Sasha's warnings
echoing in my mind.
Thorsten just smiled, calm as ever. "So, you finally figured it out. Doesn't matter now, though."

He looked totally unfazed, like this whole situation was just a small inconvenience.
"What do you mean, it doesn't matter?" My voice shook. "Are you admitting you paid someone to commit
murder?"
"Of course," he said casually, like he was talking about the weather. "I paid off your parents’ driver. He tampered
with the brakes."

A chill shot through me. The way he spoke, so cold and detached-like those three lives meant absolutely nothing
to him. "Why?" | whispered. "Why would you do that?"
He shrugged, smirking. "No real reason. Maybe | was in a certain mood that day. You know how | am-my
emotions can be... unpredictable."
He couldn't expectto believe that. No matter how twisted he was, there had to be something deeper,
something he wasn't saying.
While | struggled to piece it together, he shook his head at me. "I warned you, didn't I? Told you to let your
parents’ death rest, to focus on your own life. But you just couldn't, could you?"
| met his gaze, a defiant smile tugging at my lips. "I'm a human being. | have blood, flesh, feelings. | can't just
turn off my grief for my parents."
He sneered. "All that grief has done is lead you straight to your
own grave
His words were ice-cold, but | refused to let him shake me. "You're making it sound like I'm not getting out of
here alive. If that's the case, then at least letdie with sanswers. Why did you kill my parents? What
threat could they have possibly posed to you?" +25 BONUS
