After being left for dead by the mafia don she trusted, a woman claws her way back to freedom and rebuilds her life on her own terms. As she grows stronger, the man who abandoned her begins to realize what he lost — and she's determined he'll regret it.
I'm Emma Hole. I'm buried under snow. No. My exact location is the east side of the Northridge camp. Before I could finish, a familiar voice on the other end cut me off. Ma'am.
I froze for a moment. Boss Luca already gave us instructions. He said you had a fight with him today, and might try to tie up the rescue line to force him to come back. If you're trying to make Boss back down, I'd suggest you don't.
My voice cracked with sobs. Everything in front of me was white fog. No! I'm not tying up anything! there's been a real avalanche i'm buried out here my leg is pinned i can't get out please come quickly
my stomach hurts so badly i'm really going to die the person on the other end clipped their tongue in annoyance ma'am the rescue line is not a marital dispute hotline whatever issues you and boss have please resolve them privately the call was cut off the dial tone
tone hammered into my ears. One beep after another. I gripped the phone, my fingers aching cold. The next second, the wind sliced across my face like a blade. Frost crystallized on my lashes almost instantly. The frozen air scraped through my lungs until I could barely breathe. The leg that was pinned had gone numb, but my lower abdomen felt like something blunt was
inside me. I bit down on my lip and pressed my trembling hands over my belly. Don't be scared. Don't be scared. Don't be scared, baby.
