Chapter 069
Niklas' POV
Everything inside of me froze when I heard Karl's voice over the tiny wire in my ear. I wanted to rush right in, seize Emilia, and make sure she was safe. However, Jonas firmly shook his head and grabbed my arm.
"Wait," he said sharply in a whisper, his eyes serious. "She is still doing fine."
I clenched my jaw and responded, "She won't stay for long."
Jonas gripped harder. She's taking care of it. Have faith in her.
Have faith. It was a heavy word. But I was powerless. Emilia's voice in my ear sounded much more composed than I actually felt.
With courage, she said, "Let her go." I'm yours. Isn't that what you desired?
Karl's laughter made my skin crawl.
"No, Emilia," he said icily. "I want a memory, something more significant."
A shiver went down my spine
