/
Chapter 35 / 38
Chapter 16 - “Touch Her and You Answer to Me”
Victor made one final attempt.
He intercepted Elena outside the courthouse.
Gabriel was seconds away.
Nico was farther.
Victor grabbed Elena’s arm.
She fought free.
Before anything worse could happen, security surrounded them.
Nico arrived moments later.
His face was pale with fury.
But Elena stepped between them.
“No.”
Nico stopped.
“He threatened you.”
“And the police have him.”
“He deserves—”
“A trial.”
Nico stared at her.
“You want justice?”
“Yes.”
“Not revenge?”
“No.”
The distinction changed him.
Nico stepped back.
Victor was arrested.
No retaliation followed.
No disappearance.
No secret punishment.
