Chapter 90

• Gianna’s body froze in horror as she witnessed Alexis hit the ground with a sickening thud. Her breath caught in her throat, and tears instantly blurred her vision. Byron had stormed out of the room like the demon he indeed was. The silence he left behind was deafening, broken only by Gianna’s sobs as she scrambled off the bed.
• She rushed to Alexis and gently cradled her. “Alexis, please wake up,” she cried, sounding desperate. “Please, don’t do this to me. Come on, wake up!”
• Blood trickled from Alexis’ lip and down the side of her face, staining Gianna’s trembling hands. Her tears fell freely now, mixing with the blood on Alexis’ skin. Gianna laid Alexis down as carefully as her trembling arms allowed and sprinted to the bathroom.
