Chapter 94 The First Instinct

Author: Day Torres
The distance wasn't that far, but the real problem was that they couldn't take a commercial flight. So the trip by boat, with a hostage in tow, was long and grueling.

Every six hours, Max was injected with one of those drugs. She was tightly bound and gagged, so there wasn't much she could do to resist. She barely opened her eyes, they force-fed her, and for the last two days she'd been unconscious. As soon as they stepped foot in Velhara, her new place was the floor of a pickup truck.

"She's still not talking?" Alcott asked, irritated.

"She's not reacting either. That's a good sign," Travis replied.

"Your contact still hasn't said how much he'll pay for her, and I'm running out of patience," the colonel growled, and the ex-soldier clenched his jaw.

"Give him till tonight. The guy doesn't beg for anything," he said, and not long after, they arrived at a small village near the Narel River.

The meeting with the buyer was set for the following day. While everyone else ate and

    The caravan carried twelve women destined for the prince's harem, but all of them watched her with a mix of curiosity and unease—because His Excellency kept her under his personal watch. "It's too hot," he said suddenly, as if reading her mind. The woman looked up at him. He was standing in the back seat of the jeep, scanning the horizon for any threats, eyes sharp and alert. "You'd die before you saw another living soul," he added. "It's forty degrees, and the desert has a special way of messing with your head… It's like it's always hungry." "Who said I'm planning to escape?" she muttered. "You haven't thought about anything but that since we left," Omar said, lowering himself to sit beside her, studying her with curiosity. "You really don't remember anything? Not a single thing?" She closed her eyes for a moment, searching—grasping for something, anything, that might pull a fragment of memory from the void. But when she opened them again, her face was tight with frustrati

  • Bride of the Billionaire Beast   Chapter 96 Complete Madness

    Desperate—that was the word. Liam felt like he was suffocating with every passing hour outside that mosque, unable to get any word about Max or Travis. They hadn't shown up. And Travis's warning kept echoing in his mind: "If we don't make it, it means we're dead." By six in the evening, Liam was on the verge of a breakdown. By midnight, he looked like a wounded animal, slumped in a corner of the street, staring at the mosque door—where everyone showed up except the people he was waiting for. But even as despair started to take hold, he couldn't bring himself to leave. So he waited, hour after hour, his eyes on the entrance, his watch ticking painfully slow on his wrist. Clouds drifted open and closed across the sky—he didn't even notice. His mind kept trying to find some logical reason why they hadn't arrived. And when the sun began creeping across the city once more, Liam decided to keep waiting. Time crawled by again. For two full days, Liam showed nothing but stubborn, rel

  • Bride of the Billionaire Beast   Chapter 95 The Nubian

    Max screamed in desperation as the soldiers forced her face down into the dirt. She struggled, but eventually went still, her eyes filled with tears, completely powerless. "What do we do with her?" Priscilla asked. Alcott turned his pistol toward her this time—but just then, something started ringing in one of the dead man's pockets. Alcott reached down, pulled the phone from Travis's body, and read the incoming message. Without a word, he gestured to Priscilla, who barked orders for the men to lift Max. Then, without warning, she slammed her fist into Max's head, knocking her out cold. Max's last thought before slipping into unconsciousness was that she would never see Travis again… and would never be able to thank him for everything he had done. Half an hour later, back at the rundown shack where they were hiding, Alcott placed the phone on the table. Priscilla leaned in to read the message too. "Three million," she murmured. "Three million is better than a corpse." "I'

  • Bride of the Billionaire Beast   Chapter 93 If She Doesn't Know Who We Are...

    Alcott roared with rage, knowing that with that kind of money—and now forewarned—Liam Harrington could change his and his son's identities and disappear for good. "You know what?" he said with a cruel smile. "I can't kill your husband just yet... but I can kill you." He pulled out his pistol and pressed it against Max's head. "And then I'll hunt Liam and your son down until I find them." Max's eyes filled with tears, but she didn't flinch. "Wait!" Alcott heard Travis's voice behind him. "What am I gonna do?" Alcott repeated, his twisted grin widening. "I'm going to kill this bitch, and then I'll go explain to that idiot Garrett Harrington why he's getting his stupid grandson back in a coffin if he wants his money." Max's eyes widened as the pieces fell into place. She had always thought Alcott wanted her dead to silence her, and it had struck her as strange that instead of killing her immediately, he demanded all of Liam's money. How did he know exactly how much Liam had made

    Liam clenched his jaw in frustration. He couldn't believe this was happening! "There has to be another way! Can't you get her out before I talk to Alcott?" Liam asked desperately. "No, I can't," Travis replied. "I've been thinking about what to do if it came to this, and I have a plan... or at least I think I do. But if Alcott gets his hands on eight hundred million dollars, we're all screwed." Liam punched the nearest wall in fury, but he had to trust Max—and he knew she could get out of anything. "What do I need to do?" he growled. "First, you need to refuse to pay the ransom," said Travis. "We're completely surrounded by enemies. Our only hope is to make Alcott believe he's getting nothing. So get your son and your money to safety and disappear until we manage to escape." "How am I supposed to find Max again?" Liam asked, his eyes shining with fear. "In a week. We'll be in Solvarra," Travis said. "There's a mosque on the outskirts of the capital, called Alkriab. Max an
