Giving her away for my freedom seems like a small sacrifice. It’s one I have to make. I cut my gaze and sit on the couch with a harsh exhale. Selena’s eyes fill with betrayal. I can’t look at her, but I feel the desperation as she fights against his grasp when he reaches for her. He finally gets his hands around her wrists and drags her to her feet, pinning them behind her. “Fuck you, Lex!” she screams.
