DOMINIC

It had been over twelve hours.

Twelve fucking hours since when the girls went missing.

Twelve hours since the worst thing that could have ever happened, happened.

Twelve hours of calling, searching, digging and even praying to a God I wasn’t even sure was still listening to people like me.

I ran my hand through my hair for the umpteenth time and I paced around in circles in the dirty airport security office. Every wall surrounding us felt like they were closing in on me, the bright light in the room was making my eyes ache and my head was banging. My throat was dry from all the shouting, questioning and screaming I had been doing. But with all my questions, no one was seeming or able to give me any tangible response.

Alex was sitting by the table, his head in his hand, the fingers of his other hand clenched so tight around his phone that his knuckles had turned white and his veins popped. His face was pale, drained off all blood and filled with nothing but worry.

    RAINAI thought I would never see him again. For over a week now, I have been living in fear. It clung to me like a second skin and it was not only heavy but also suffocating and I always looked behind my back every now and then because oi was scared he would come after me again or something would go wrong. I didn’t know if Nathan was dead or alive. I also didn’t know if I would see my kids or if my unborn child would survive. But now even though Nathan was still on the loose and somewhere out there, I felt something I hadn’t felt in a very long time. I felt somehow at peace and it wasn’t the same type of peace that came from everything around me being perfect. It was the type of peace that settled on someone knowing that the worst had passed and that our nightmare had come to an end. I was happy that Nathan—the man who had not only haunted me in my dreams but also in real life, the man who had ripped my world apart and made sleeping a nightmare had finally backed off and had a n

    NATHAN The room was spinning. No, it wasn’t spinning, the room was shaking. Shaking like my body was, shaking like the thoughts running through my head was. It was like the stupid voices in my head were trying to fight for control. I started going around in circles and I raised my hands to my head, trying to push away the voice and silence the noise that kept on chattering in my head. But it wasn’t working. Nothing was. I stopped pacing and turned back to Raina where she was curled into a ball by the wall. She looked sickly, her skin was pale, her lips were cracked and there were bruises all over body, even her eyes had dark circles around them. But even with all of that, she still looked beautiful. I had not only starved her but also tortured her and she looked stunning despite everything. My chest burned and on a normal day, I was supposed to feel satisfied and triumphant that I finally had her here with me after so long. I was supposed to be feeling over the moon and all satisf

    DOMINICI stared at my phone as my thumb hovered over the dial button. I had been patient and waited long enough and every minute we wasted was another minute that Raina was in the grasp of that son of a bitch. Alex wasn’t the only one going crazy. Yes, his wife was in danger but she was my little sister and it felt like I was standing in a land mine because one wrong move or step would make everything explode. I finally pressed the call button after I let out a determined sigh. The phone didn’t ring more than twice before Carter picked the call. “It is time,” I said in a low and sharp voice that was filled with no hesitation. “It’s about damn time,” Carter replied with an exhale like he had been holding his breath for the whole week that Raina had been missing. “I’ll come in with a team, but Dom you have to listen to me and not do anything stupid. You have to wait for my signal before you take any step.”I didn’t answer. And after a while, I nodded my head but when I realized he

    ALEXANDER The first thing I felt when I regained consciousness was pain. Raw and unfiltered pain. It felt like my body was being dragged against barbed wires and it was slowly tearing at my skin. I let out a sharp gasp as my hands immediately reached for the source of the pain that was biting at me. “Raina…”Her name came out from my mouth before I could stop it, my voice was cracked and filled with desperation. I tried to get up but strong hands gently pushed me back against the hospital bed. I was about to ask who it was when Dom’s face came into view, his face looking not only tired but also sad. “You need to take her easy, Alex,” he said in a low but tight voice. “Or else your wounds will tear open and start bleeding again.”I blinked back, my eyes getting into focus and I took my time to look around the room. The smell of antiseptic and medication was in the air, unyielding and each beat of my heart sent a new wave of pain coursing through my body. But I didn’t care about

    ALEXANDER The moment my eyes fell on Raina, I forgot how to breathe. I just couldn’t. She was sitting on the filthy ground that I was sure was cold. Her hands were tied and her hair was all over the place, it looked tangled and matted together by sweat and grease. Her eyes locked with mine and I could see the unshed tears in them, she looked like she had been crying and I couldn’t understand the physical pain I felt. It felt like my heart was being stabbed multiple times over and over again. God, she was shaking. The tears that had welled up in her eye slid down her cheeks, leaving tear marks in their wake. She looked so small and broken and my heart broken even further just by looking at her. I couldn’t think of what Nathan must have done to her. I didn’t want to think of it. I wouldn’t because if I did, my anger would take over the logical side of me and it would make me overheat and do something that wouldn’t help well for any of us. I couldn’t afford that. Not now, it was t

    NATHAN I was done playing games. They thought that they had won. There were no bigger idiots than them.They had been sitting in their glass castle as they tightened their little security whom they thought could stop me. They really thought they had it all figured out with their webs of security details around their precious life, thinking they could keep me locked away forever. A cold, cruel smell slowly curled at the edge of my lips and I leaned back against the chair I was sitting in as I scared the taste of the victory that was already coming to me. No prison could hold me and no wall could stand against me. Having escaped from prison, my first mission, no, scratch that, the only thing that had been in my mind was finding the Grahams and talking to them. Hell, all I wanted to do was get to Raina and hold her in my hands.She was always mine and I wanted to get back what truly belonged to me. I had monitored both Alexa and Dominic, times where they were apart and then togethe
