    “What are you doing?”


    Fear crept into her eyes as she desperately tried to back away, only to be pinned down by


    the men.


    Ryan pushed his assistant aside and strode over. “I hear you and Spencer haven’t shared a bed in


    years. You know I’m capable of anything. If you don’t want to be gangbanged, revoke the contract and


    return the Director position to Spencer. Just be a good little manager and support Spencer from the


    shadows, like you have been since the day I recognized your talents.”


    He sneered, patting Brielle’s face mockingly. “Or to put it another way, just be Spencer’s stepping


    stone, or neither you nor those kids at the Home will be safe. Don’t push me.”


    Brielle paled, the drug making her weak and feverish. Fear had taken hold.


    Every member of the Dorsey family was formidable, especially those on the board, each harboring their


    own dark ambitions.


    “Spencer says you want to call off your engagement? You think you’re worthy to make that demand?”


    Ryan’s foot came down hard on Brielle’s hand without hesitation. She broke out in a cold sweat, unable


    to suppress a whimper as red-hot anger red in her eyes. The pressure intensified until her bones felt


    like they might shatter.


    “You manipted Faith into signing that contract, ying on her affection for Spencer. But to me,


    you’re transparent. I dictate whether you live or die.”


    Biting her lip until blood appeared, Brielle fought the encroaching darkness as Ryan’s foot finally lifted,


    just before she could pass out.


    Gasping for air, her vision blurred, all she could hear was Ryan’s icy voice, “I’m sparing your life, but


    just barely. Once they’re done with you, you’ll still be nothing more than a stepping stone for Spencer.”


    The sound of leather belts hitting the floor filled the room.


    “No,” she whispered weakly, “please…” But her pleas were drowned by the overwhelming terror seizing


    her heart.


    Fumbling for her phone, her trembling, agonized hands failed her. Any rescue would do. Even if it were


    Spencer.


    As a man’s hand forced her head up, the door abruptly opened-it was one of Ryan’s men.


    “Sir, Max has arrived unexpectedly.”
