View MoreBethel stared out of the cell window and saw two teenage girls in maid uniform, talking loudly and laughing. Sorrow gripped her heart, she couldn't help but wonder how it felt to laugh again. To interact with friends. To express herself. To be free.
A drop of tears fell down her eyes and she quickly wiped them away.
"why? why did father have to give me out for exchange?” she sobbed.
”If only I never came out! she lamented horribly and hurdled down her cell. Empty cold cell.
She had been here for the past one month,she hasn't seen her captor,she had only seen him once and that was when he captured her.
**************
” where is my money,Alberto?” Harry corner requested. He was a man everyone feared, his eyes were so cold as he spoke to the old man who happens to be Bethel's father.
That night,bethel had eavesdrop on their conversation and she could sworn she has never seen eyes so cold with raw and deep loathe.
” I...I...will pay you,please give me some more time” Bethel's father pleaded.
”(scoffs) you will pay me my money she yet you've planned on leaving the country. Who does that?” Harry asked,his eyes coldest.
” I didn't run away,I never planned an escape” Alberto uttered and that was when Harry pull out his mask. Bethel's jaw dropped at his sight she never knew the popular Harry corna is a young guy,she had thought he was in his 40's she never thought he could be so young, he looked 26's.His lashes stood out proudly against his upper cheek bone,his skin was spotless without a blemish,he had a tattoo like signature in his left hand,he was gorgeously handsome.
Bethel was lost looking, she mistakenly slipped out of her hideout. Harry turned instantly to the direction where her fall came from.
Their eyes locked.
A chill went down Bethel's arm as Harry's eyes bore into the holes of her eyes,she has never seen a hatred more raw before in anyone's eyes. Harry looked away,his guards hastily went to drag her and collared her with the chain in their hands..
” 200million dollars? how do you plan on paying me!! You even want to escape by travelling out” Harry pointed out.
” you even planned with my maid to kill me,how will you atone your sins??
” since you adore your daughter so much, shouldn't she pay by being my slave? Mr Alberto I guessed you agree to that? Harry asked on clear ascent.
In tears my father looked at me,he had borrowed the money to pay for my mother's surgery but unfortunately she died.
” I agree” my father said and that was how I was taken.
**************
Tears blinded Bethel's vision again,
she has been in the cell to live by the demands of a slave while her captor was present or not.
Just as bethel tried closing her eyes,the cell door flew open and she heard heavy footsteps it was coming closer. she knew who it was.
It was a middle aged woman,
she has been the one telling her what to do as a slave.
” Stand. Follow me” the woman said.
Bethel stood up wearily in her now wretched clothes,she followed the woman.
A ray of hope flashed across her eyes, stepping out of the hurdled cell for the first time, she had really wanted to escape and as she walked behind the woman,she scanned the whole building, the mansion was so big that it was so difficult for her to find an exit.
” Isabella” the woman called as soon as they got to the front of a particular suite.
” yes ma'am” a girl of Bethel's age came out.
” get the slave cleaned and send her to Harry's suite after”
” okay ma'am”
Bethel faced the woman with defiance in her teary eyes. ” and what do I do in his room?” she almost yelled.
” he will do to you whatever he wants” she got her reply.
” I beg of you,help me escape! she pleaded, defiance in her stance.
” you had better not keep him waiting” the reply she got stung deep into her heart.
Lila's pov Damon got off the table. “A while ago,” he said, his voice quieter now, “there was this protest. A big one. Hundreds of people gathered to speak out against the G.H.C. Kids were there, Lila. Families. People who had been hurt, who’d lost everything because of those bastards.”His fists clenched at his sides, and for a moment, he stopped pacing, he was staring at the floor as if reliving the memory. “The G.H.C. sent their soldiers,” he said, his voice laced was with anger. “Rounded everyone up like cattle. I went undercover, tried to get information, tried to help. But…”He turned to me then. “Hyperion used his solar blast. He burned it all down. Every last thing. The people. The evidence. He didn’t even hesitate.”I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. “And you think it’s connected to Project Erebus?”Damon’s gaze hardened. “I don’t just think. I know. Whatever Erebus is, it’s worth more to the G.H.C. than human lives. And your husband—your perfect, heroic husband—he’s neck
Lila's pov “This is Caleb A.K.A black vortex” Damon said, nodding toward the figure in the corner. “He works with me as my side kick”Immediately, I heard the name "Black Vortex," and my breath hitched.The name wasn’t just familiar; it was infamous. Black Vortex was a shadow in the underground world, a digital phantom who could infiltrate the most secure systems without leaving a trace. He also had the ability to manipulate shadows, bending them to his will, creating illusions that could disorient or terrify his enemies. This power made him a master of stealth, able to move unseen and strike from the darkness.To hear Damon refer to him so casually, as his sidekick, was both shocking and unnerving.I looked back at the young man in the corner. He didn’t fit the image I had in my head of a notorious hacker. Caleb—Black Vortex—seemed almost... ordinary. His messy black hair fell over his face as he worked, his fingers moving like lightning over the keyboard. “Black Vortex?” I repeate
Lila’s POV:I stood in front of the house, and my breath stopped in my chest. Damon had called this place his “little sanctuary,” but nothing about it screamed “little.” The house was massive, a mansion that looked like it belonged to someone much more powerful than I could comprehend. It looked like something out of a dream—or a nightmare. There was a circular driveway, with shiny black cars parked around the courtyard.Oh my fucking God.I couldn’t believe it. This wasn’t just a house. It was a fortress. The kind of place you only saw in movies, the kind where people who had everything—and wanted to keep it all—lived.“You call this a little sanctuary?” I muttered, my voice was filled with disbelief.Damon glanced over at me, his smirk never fading. “It’s cozy,” he said, with a laugh that made me feel like I was missing something.He led me toward the massive oak doors, pushing them open with ease. As soon as we stepped inside, I was hit by the huge size of the place. The entryway
Lila's pov I glanced out of the window, confusion swirling in my mind. I couldn’t make sense of the streets we were passing. They looked unfamiliar, like we were heading into some part of the city I’d never been before. My heart was still pounding in my chest, but it wasn’t just the adrenaline from before anymore. There was a strange, unsettling feeling about where Damon was taking me.Speaking of Damon, I couldn’t help but notice how different he looked. He was dressed so casually, far from the superhero costume I was used to seeing him in. The hoodie and jeans he wore made him seem more approachable, almost... normal. And damn it, he looked good. Too good. Even in his relaxed attire, there was something effortlessly attractive about him.I couldn’t tear my eyes away from him, and it seemed like he noticed. A smirk tugged at his lips as he shot me a quick glance. "Can't take your eyes off me, huh?" he said. "I guess I look better than your husband, don't I?"I rolled my eyes, trying

Lila’s POVThe low rumble of an approaching car drew my attention back to the street. My taxi had arrived. I quickly grabbed my suitcase and made my way downstairs. I paused at the mirror in the entryway, taking a deep breath and forcing a smile onto my face.“You’ve got this,” I whispered to my reflection.I opened the door and stepped outside. My smile widened as I waved to the driver, making sure the men across the street could see. I was just a woman heading to a medical conference. Nothing unusual, nothing suspicious.The driver exited the taxi and hurried to open the trunk, taking my suitcase with a polite nod before returning to the driver’s seat. I slid into the backseat, settling myself and smoothing out the fabric of my dress.“The airport, please,” I said.The driver nodded, and the car began to move. I glanced out the rear window and, as expected, the black SUV pulled out of its spot and started following us. My jaw tightened, but I kept my expression normal . They didn’t
