Escaping The Mafia King

Chapter 42: 42- The War

Varys' words weren't enough. Nothing was enough. Hope imagined what would happen to Vincent and Max if Ethan got his hands on them and bit her lip so hard blood seeped into her mouth.

"Hope, calm down."

Varys' words were as if they were underwater. She could hear them, but they were dull and couldn't break through the wall of panic.

She was going to lose her only family. She was going to lose him in the most horrible way possible, and Ethan would make sure it hurt her. He would delight in it.

Varys was nose to nose with her now as he folded her in his arms. "Varys?"

"Hope, I don't know where you're going on in your mind, but you need to break out of it, now."

"I can't," she whispered as she pushed at him. She had the strength of a kitten. "I have to save them."

His hold tightened on her. "Them?" it was the dangerous growl of a predator.

"My uncle Vincent, and Max," she whispered.

"Max again," Varys spat. "Why are you worried about him?"

"He helped me," Hope replied. "And he's all my uncle has. I don't want anyone dying because of me, being tortured because of me." She swallowed. "You've looked into Ethan's past. You know what kind of monster he is."

"If I help you-"
