CHAPTER 202
THIRD PERSON.
The bullet didn't hit anyone, it slammed into the wall an inch from Marina's head, showering her in plaster dust.
She screamed so hard, collapsing to her knees, her hands over her ears. "The truth," Romeo whispered. "Next one hits bone."
Katya watched, her breath coming in shallow gasps. She saw the monster in Romeo, the one she had always feared.
But for the first time, she realized that monster wasn't looking at her. It was looking at the people who had tried to take her.
Marina was sobbing now, her body folded in on itself, fingers clawing at the marble as plaster dust clung to her hair.
"I—I told you," she cried, voice shrill and breaking. "She has the codes! She came to me—she said she needed help—she said you were going to kill her!"
Romeo didn't move the gun.Didn't even look at Katya. His eyes stayed on Marina, cold and unblinking.
