| The Echoes Of Former Fury

𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐍

"Milan!" I could hear Lucian running after me, but I was already by the bathroom. Darting in, I shut the door and locked it, then leaned against it, hoping to keep him from breaking it down for at least a few moments.

"Milan!" He banged his fist on the door, and I felt the whole door shaking, echoing the quaking of my body. I felt cold inside, the chill from the nightmare returning. Why did I tell Lucian about Kev? I never trusted anyone but the agency therapist with the full story. Igor knew, of course—he was the one who ordered the hit on Kev—but I never spoke about it with him.

Outside mandated therapy sessions, I never spoke about it with anyone until Lucian.

"Milan, open this door." He stopped banging, his tone turning calm and cajoling. "Come out, and we'll talk."
