VENUS

Mr. Sinclair might’ve been an asshole about it, but he wasn’t wrong.

The truth? I didn’t really take care of myself like most girls did. Not because I didn’t like shopping, makeup, skincare, or spa days. God, I loved all that. I just couldn’t afford to live like that.

It had been months since I last stepped into a salon. My once dark, glossy hair was now dull and riddled with split ends. My wardrobe was ancient. My shoes? Let's not even go there—they looked like they'd survived a war.

I’d always been okay with how I looked, taller than most girls my age at 5'8", waist-length black hair usually pulled into a lazy ponytail, a petite frame, and brown eyes that were forgettable... until someone looked long enough to really see me.

So yes, when I got the call for a spa appointment, I was giddy. Like, borderline losing-my-mind excited. I quickly drafted my resignation and headed to his office to hand it in.

He actually tried to be nice. Which, naturally, freaked me out.

  • Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 105

    AARONTwo days.Forty-eight fucking hours of silence.No movement. No pings from her car tracker. No hits on facial recognition. Her phone? Dead. Credit cards? Untouched. No social media activity. No CCTV sightings. Venus had vanished, like the universe decided to swallow her whole, and I—Aaron Sinclair—was unraveling thread by thread.The only thing keeping me tethered was motion.Screens lit up every room in the penthouse. Surveillance footage played on loop. Colton worked nonstop, analyzing border entries, private airfield departures, traffic cameras. My private security team scanned underground networks. Jane hadn’t slept since yesterday. We swept every goddamn inch of the city. Nothing.Connor went to get Sabine and Gianna the second they landed from London. If anyone could draw out a clue from her past, it’d be them. I had eyes on her mother 24/7 in case guilt chewed through her spine and made her do something halfway decent. But even that lead had gone quiet.Nothing but ghost

    VENUSI didn’t sleep.Couldn’t.Every time I closed my eyes, the darkness didn’t bring rest. It brought memory. The sting of Billy’s hand across my face. The taste of blood. The echo of my own heartbeat thrashing in my chest. And beneath it all, the overwhelming silence that crawled into your head and made a home.The concrete floor scraped my back with every movement, biting through the thin cotton of my shirt like sandpaper on skin. The ropes around my wrists and ankles burned with every twitch, every breath. My shoulders screamed. My throat was so dry, it felt like I’d swallowed fire and it had stayed there, smoldering.But none of that mattered. Not really. Not compared to the storm churning behind my ribcage. The questions. The betrayal. The creeping horror that this wasn’t a warning, or a threat.This was a disappearing act. One that might never end.I hadn’t had food or water since I woke up in this cement coffin. My mouth was parched. My lips cracked. My body ached. But it was

    AARONThe tires shrieked as I pulled into the lot of Ashford Holdings’ secondary facility, a brutalist slab of cold steel and gray concrete. No logos. No windows. Just silence and intimidation. The kind of building designed to keep secrets locked in and souls locked out.I didn’t wait for clearance or introductions.I walked past security like a storm that couldn’t be stopped.My phone buzzed in my palm—Jane.“No new sightings. Still scanning east-side feeds.”“Keep going,” I said, and hung up.Two suits stepped in at the entrance, but they didn’t speak. Maybe it was the look in my eyes. Maybe it was the scent of war radiating off me like heat. Either way, they parted. Smart men.Inside, the facility was cold and clean. Chrome lines. Fluorescent lights. Silent surveillance cameras blinking like eyes that knew better than to question authority.And there he was.Colton Ashford.Sitting behind a matte black desk like the king of a shadow empire. His gaze lifted the second I entered, sur

    AARONThe city lights smeared past my windshield like they were trying to outrun the clock.But nothing outran me.Not when Venus was missing.The silence in the car was maddening. The engine's purr, the subtle thrum of tires on asphalt, none of it soothed me. I wasn’t just driving. I was hunting. Following the ghost of a blinking dot that had died hours ago.Venus.I thought she was ignoring me at first. When she didn’t pick up the first few calls, I gave her space. We’d fought. I pushed too hard. Said things I shouldn’t have. I knew she needed time, and I thought I was giving her that. Letting her cool down.But by the fourth call? When her phone still rang and then stopped altogether? When the texts I sent didn’t deliver anymore?That wasn’t silence anymore. That was absence.I didn’t sleep last night. Dread pooled inside me like molasses, thick and slow but inescapable. I kept staring at the screen, refreshing the tracking app, praying she’d turn her phone back on.She didn’t.So

  • Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 101

    VENUSMy mouth was dry.So dry it felt like someone had scraped sandpaper along the inside of my throat. I tried to move only to realize I couldn’t.My arms… my legs…Rope. Coarse and unrelenting. Wrapped tight. Biting into the skin with a cruel rhythm. My wrists were pinned behind the back of the wooden chair, my ankles secured to its legs. The more I struggled, the deeper the rope dug in. A fresh wave of pain exploded from every twitch it was harp, red and raw.Panic licked up my spine.I opened my eyes fully.Concrete. Bare. Grey.A single bulb buzzed above, its yellow light sputtering like it was ready to die. It swayed gently, casting shadows that danced in slow, sinister arcs across the floor. The walls were raw cement, streaked with mold and something darker. Unfinished. Windowless. There was only one door, it was metal, bolted and thick.The air smelled like rust and oil. Old oil. The kind that seeps into everything.I tried to scream, only to realize my mouth had been sealed
