"Choose," Kristian said, his tone leaving no room for argument.
"And if I refuse both?" she shot back.
"Then he will knock you out," Kristian replied, his voice devoid of warmth. "Either way, you'll answer for what you've done." Norah wanted to fight back, but his steely demeanor told her it was futile.

Glancing at the two men, she saw their relaxed postures and made a break for it, darting upstairs in search of an escape.
She barely made it a few steps before Lawrence caught her arm.
Lawrence was quick on his feet and fast in action. He had helped save Freya once before, and now he was here to stop Norah.
"Miss Russell, it's better to cwith us willingly," Lawrence said, his voice calm and reassuring. "This place is locked down tight. There's no way out." Norah's fists clenched in frustration.
Lawrence smiled lightly. "We've already looked everywhere. There aren't any hidden tunnels or secret exits here." Norah looked at Kristian, stunned by how thoroughly he'd planned this—all for Freya. He had pushed her into such a hopeless corner.
Kristian didn't linger. With a nod to Lawrence, he stepped outside. Lawrence followed orders, gently guiding Norah into a brief sleep with the sedative.

Kristian remained calm. "Our families' ties will be fine. I've already spoken with your family members about your actions. They know you're going to the police." He'd cleared every step with the Russells, leaving no loose ends. Norah had to face the consequences of her choices.
Feeling the weight of injustice, Norah could do nothing as he led her into the station. He handed over the evidence-solid proof that guaranteed she would face a heavy sentence for her actions.
Kristian stood rooted just inside the doorway of the police station, his mind adrift and his feet unwilling to budge, as if titself had stalled around him.
Gerard and Lawrence loitered a short distance away, waiting in silence. After nearly ten minutes ticked by with no sign of movement from Kristian, Lawrence finally lost patience. "You planning to stand here 'til the sun goes down?"
Kristian didn't answer. He had already done everything that was his to do. The rest-well, that wasn't his battle to fight.
"Book three tickets back to Jeucwell. Morning flight. Day after tomorrow," Kristian said at last pulling his gaze away and making the announcement with a tight, unreadable expression. "Three tickets?" Gerard asked, brow raised.
Kristian gave a subtle nod in reply. Then, without another word, he turned and made his way toward the car.
Lawrence quickly stepped in front of him, planting himself in front of the goon "Wait a sec-you you wantto go back to Jeucwell with you?"
