Remy, trembling with both pain and realization, absorbed the impactful message. "Did you... Did you just spare me?"

She sauntered toward him, positioning herself directly above, and delivered a cryptic ultimatum, "Think of it as a return favor for a kindness you had extended in the past.

Otherwise, you know what will happen."
