"Do you really think I'm not afraid to kill your wife?"
Sterling Fairbanks's heart lurched with fear. Prior to this, his plan was for Julius Reed to submit because of Quella Radcliffe, so he could torture him first, then violate Quella Radcliffe in front of Julius Reed, and finally throw them both into the sewage pit, creating the illusion of an accidental drowning death.
But the first part wasn't going according to plan at all.
Julius Reed's reaction when he saw Quella Radcliffe bound was not worry or fear, not even a hint of nervousness.
From the moment he entered the door, his face was expressionless, punctuated only by the occasional smile.
Now he was even ready to strike!
Keep in mind, the knife in Kairo Percival's hand was still pressed against Quella Radcliffe's neck; a single thrust forward, and she would be gone.
"Who do you think you are? You think you can kill just because you wish to? Try touching my wife!"
