628 [Bonus chapter] Even if it kills me

[Emergency stairs]

"Where are you taking me?" Ivy asked as she looked back at Silas.

"Does it matter?" Silas hissed, tugging her wrist forward. "Just keep going!" 

Ivy bit her lips out of habit. She already ate her lipstick after biting it over and over until she felt like her lips were growing numb already. Just as instructed, Ivy kept going up the stairs. Silas would once in a while shoot over the railing while he was arguing with Dominic. 

"Silas!" Again, Dominic's voice echoed through the emergency staircase. "Don't you dare do anything to her!" 

"Then stop coming after me!" Silas yelled back, pushing Ivy to move faster. 

This had been their situation since Silas took her captive. Silas and Dominic would shout at each other and then Silas would open fire to stall time. Dominic never fired back.
