Luna's POV
"Dominick, what's going on here?" I was shocked, unable to comprehend why they were doing this to Joel. "Please, stop!"
Dominick raised his hand to stop the man from cutting the next toenail. "Go back inside the room, Luna. You can't be here."
"You don't understand, please release him," I begged, my voice trembling.
"Release him?" Dominick gave me a confused look. "This man kidnapped you, remember?"
"I... know," I nodded slowly, struggling to find the right words. "But it's not as simple as you think. He did kidnap me, but he had his reasons."
Dominick walked up to me, his eyes narrowing slightly. He grabbed my arm gently but firmly, pulling me away from the room. "Come with me."
As we stepped into the hallway, Dominick shut the door behind us, muffling the sounds of Joel's pained breathing. "Luna, you need to understand," he said softly but firmly. "Joel is dangerous. He put you in harm's way."
