It could’ve gone either way. There’d only ever been one female member prior to her–a ruthless woman who’d had far more money than Lilia. They could’ve easily told her to fuck off, killed her, and attempted to force me to reveal the black rock discovery. Of course, they’d have had to torture me at that point. No fucking way I’d give them what they wanted if they dared to lay a finger on her. I’d carry that information to the grave on the promise that Lilia and I would reunite in the afterlife.
