《Vows written in blood》全部章節：第 11 章 - 第 20 章

“You would have to pull the bullet out.”Tomas gripped the steering wheel tighter, the car still rolling through the rain-slicked streets. “Miss Seraphina, that is not happening, I am not some back-alley doctor. You need real help, proper equipment, and someone who knows what they are doing.”I shifted in the seat, pressing my good hand harder against the wound as fresh blood seeped through my fingers. “Tomas. I mean it. Pull over somewhere quiet and just do it. You’ve seen worse on the job. Get some whiskey, a knife, whatever, I can handle the pain.”He shook his head, eyes fixed on the road but voice firm. “Look at you, you are bleeding too much already. If I try that here in the car, you could bleed out before I even find the damn bullet. Your father would kill me twice over if something happens to you. We are going to the hospital.”I sat up straighter, ignoring the way the world tilted a little. “My father cannot know about this. Not yet. If we walk into any emergency room, the p

“Seraphina!”I jolted awake, eyes flying open as the bright hospital lights blurred above me. Hands gripped the sides of my bed, wheeling it fast down a hallway. The wheels squeaked against the marbled floor. “Wait, what is happening, where are you taking me?”“Easy, miss,” one of the orderlies said, a burly guy in scrubs pushing from the head of the bed. “Doctor’s orders. We need to get you to a more secure area. You’ve been stabilized, but things got complicated.”I tried to sit up, but my body felt heavy, arms like lead. “Complicated, what are you talking about?”I paused to catch my breath, “Tomas, Where is Tomas? He brought me here. Tell him to come talk to me right now.”The second orderly, a woman with a tight ponytail, glanced down at me while keeping pace. “Your guardian already handled the paperwork. Said it wasn’t safe for you to stay, so we’re moving you out quietly. The van is waiting at the side entrance. Best not to make a scene.”“What guardian?” I twisted my head, but

“Get her cleaned up before the boss comes or do you prefer to die.”The two men stood there for a moment longer. The first guy shifted on his feet, glancing at me before looking back at the second man.“She was like this when I brought her in,” he said quickly. “Tried to crawl away out of the straps. Fought hard even after the shot I gave her, that’s why she looks messed up. Not my fault.”The second man stared at him, face tight. “No excuses. Just do the correction.”They both turned and left the room, the door clicking shut behind them.I stayed slumped in the chair for what felt like long minutes, breathing in and out, trying to gather whatever strength the latest injection had left me. The ropes weren’t on me yet, but my limbs still wouldn’t obey properly, but I could hear footsteps moving around outside the room.The door opened again. The first man returned with a woman beside him. She looked tired, wearing plain clothes, she kept her eyes down, hands clasped together.He walked

“You bastard.”The words barely left my lips before the world tilted beneath me, the warehouse lights blurred into streaks of white and gold.The shouting behind me became distant.Muted.As though I had suddenly been shoved underwater.My fingers tightened against the front of Luciano’s shirt.For a second, I thought I saw something flicker across his face.Regret.Amusement.Pity.I couldn’t tell.The drug moved quickly through my body.Too quickly.My knees threatened to give out.Strong arms caught me before I hit the ground.The last thing I heard before darkness swallowed me was the sound of hurried footsteps rushing toward us.Then, voices.Muffled.Far away.“…Boss, please.”The darkness shifted.My eyelids felt impossibly heavy.The moment I opened my eyes again, the world slowly drifted back into focus.Shapes first, then colors, then sound.Luciano stood a few feet away from me.His back faced me.The black suit jacket he had wrapped around me earlier was still draped over

“How did you find me in that hospital?”Luciano stared at me for a long moment.Then he leaned back in his chair.“You’re in no position to seek answers, darling.”I folded my arms across my chest.“Then I guess you’re in no position to get answers either.”One of his brows lifted.“You seem to forget who you’re talking to.”“And you seem to forget who you’re asking questions from.”The room fell silent.His cold blue eyes stayed on mine.“You are becoming difficult.”“And you’re becoming annoying.”A smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.“I’ve also been called worse.”“Good. Add kidnapper to the list.”“Technically, I had you retrieved.”I stared at him.“You drugged me.”“You were panicking.”“I was escaping.”“You were naked.”“That wasn’t my fault.”His smirk deepened slightly.For some reason that irritated me even more.I leaned back in my chair.“You wanted answers.”“I do.”“Then answer my question.”“No.”“Then i am not saying a word”The room went quiet again.Luciano tap
