He spat in disgust. "You don't have the right to end her life. Her life belongs to me, and you're not taking it today!"
"Viper, what is this supposed to mean? You made me a promise!"
"I promised to let you rough her up a bit. I never agreed to hand her life over to you."
"Viper, you can't do this. This woman is dangerous. If we don't eliminate her right now, she's going to be a massive headache later. If she manages to slip away, catching her next time won't be this easy!"
Viper was losing his patience.
"Shut the hell up. I told you I have other plans for her, can't you get that through your thick skull? With me here, do you really think she's going anywhere?"
Seeing Viper lose his temper, Lucas Maddox backed down.
"Fine, Viper, she's yours. But before you take her, I need to use her for something."
"Make it quick. Once the boat gets here, I'm taking her out to sea!"
"Got it."
With that, Viper walked out.

Elena suddenly realized something.
She glared at Lucas Maddox and asked, "What exactly are you planning to do?"
"You'll find out soon enough!" Lucas Maddox flashed a sinister smirk.
A moment later, one of his men came in to report.
"Mr. Maddox, he's here!"
"Excellent, bring him in. I've been waiting for this!"

Meanwhile, Elena had been gone for hours, and Amanda and Daniel were beside themselves with worry.
Amanda, in particular, was pacing back and forth across the living room floor.
"Claire, did you get through to Elena?"
