Chapter 345
Lana glanced nervously at Sienna. Thorn took Sienna’s hands in his, they were spotless, with no trace of anything.
But they all knew Lustbane was colorless and odorless. Once it touched your skin, you’d be burning up within half an hour.
“Hazel, come on, let’s
‘s get to the hospital. Right now,” Isabel pleaded, her voice frantic as she reached for her daughter.
Sienna pulled away. “Mom, Dad, I’m fine. A little Lustbane isn’t going to take me down. I need to go hack right now. I can mix the antidote myself. You two should go home,”
Her parents were still sick with worry, but Thorn said, “Alright. I’ll take them home first, then I’ll come find
He could see Sienna needed to get away, so he had no choice but to lead his parents out.
“Okay,” Sienna replied.
you”
In the car, Sienna’s throat was already starting to feel parched.
“Get me a bottle of water,” she rasped.
This Lustbane w.
was a nasty piece of work concocted by some real degenerates, mostly circulating in other countries. There was no known cure. A hospital would be useless; inhibitors would just leave her with permanent side effects.
Real damage.
Lana and Reno knew how potent the poison was. They exchanged a look before Lana spoke in a low voice, “Boss, maybe we should find someone… clean?”
Seeing Lana Yost speak up, Reno Lynch quickly added. “Hoss, this stuff can cause infertility at best, and at worst, it could ruin your body and mind. Honestly, the best solution is to find someone to help you…
Sienna knew exactly what they were suggesting. It was just about finding a man.
Lana steeled herself. “Boss, your sisters aren’t ready to stand on their own yet. They’re still waiting for you. If something happens to you. if your health is compromised, they…
Sienna took a deep breath, leaned her head back against the seat, and closed her eyes, the unopened water bottle still in her hand.
The faces of Julian and Thorn flashed through her mind. Better to use a loyal subordinate than to ruin an innocent life.
“Boss, don’t worry, Reno said. “There will be no loose ends.”
She would have the man’s ashes scattered to the wind, ensuring no connection to Sienna could ever be made. To them, the man Sienna needed right now was nothing more than a disposable tool.
Reno had already scouted a suitable candidate: a top student from a prestigious Meridian university. Six–foot–two, shredded, with a six- pack. A clean slate, no dating history.
Lana watched Sienna carefully, trying to guess what she was thinking
“Boss, if no one else will do, I think Thom is a good option. He would never betray you. Lana said softly.
Reno frowned at the suggestion. “No way. He’s filthy. How could he possibly be worthy of you? Besides, he’s a psycho. Once he gets his claws into you, you’ll never get him off.”
Ten years ago. Thorn had been into everything–women, gambling, the whole nine yards. While there was no concrete proof of how many women he’d been with, a guy from that kind of environment couldn’t possibly be clean.
Reno was dead set against it.
She had a list of a dozen men ready to go, just waiting for Sienna’s approval. She held out her phone, displaying the photos. She could have any one of them here in ten minutes.

It was Lana’s turn to fall silent. She knew it was true
But a small, selfish part of her still wanted to see Sienna and Thorn together. It would silence any dissent from that side of the Noir family and save Sienna a lot of trouble.
Sienna’s eyes snapped open, her mind suddenly clear. The drug must be himing her hard if she was actually considering Thon
