Lucia's smirk was wicked as she locked eyes with Tynan, leaning in closer. "I'll give you guys another chance," she said slowly, her voice dripping with malice.
She took a deliberate pause between each word, making sure her message was seared into their minds. "Do. Not. Look. Away. From. The. TV."
Tynan's throat tightened, and he instinctively gulped, the weight of her words pressing down on him like a vice.
The way her eyes bore into his, unblinking and intense, made it abundantly clear what would happen if he dared to disobey.
His heart raced, and though every part of him wanted to crumble, he nodded stiffly, barely able to hold her gaze.
Volkan, nearby and still burning with fury, couldn't contain himself any longer.
"What the hell is going on?!" he bellowed, his voice raw with frustration.
He was frustrated because he could see how Tynan knew what she was going to do to them next but he himself had no clue about it.
