A second passed. Then another. The gun didn’t fire. Instead, Margus lowered it slightly, exhaling through his nose. “You’re lucky,” he said, voice tight. “Alex wants his daughter alive. That’s the only reason you’re still breathing.” Miko opened his eyes, tears blurring his vision. “Then help her,” he begged. “ I’ll tell you everything I know. Every detail.

Then it crashed over her—Liina’s body falling, the spray of blood on the back door, the gunfire, the woods, the hand over her mouth. Her chest tightened, breath coming in short, panicked gasps.

Blood Diamonds of Tallinn Emma didn’t stop crying. The woods swallowed them whole, branches clawing at her face, snow soaking through her jeans. Every breath tasted like smoke and blood. Liina’s last moments replayed in her mind—bullets tearing into her chest, the spray of crimson across the back door, the way her body had crumpled toward Emma. The diamonds in her hand felt heavy, cursed. She clutched them like a lifeline, fingers slick with sweat and something else she didn’t want to think…
