VENUS

I sat on the floor, heart pounding, the air in my room suddenly too thick to breathe.

Gone.

The copy was gone.

I’d checked every drawer, every folder, every crevice where I usually kept anything remotely important. And it wasn’t just misplaced. No, I knew that kind of absence too well, it was the kind that came with intent. With someone’s fingers where they didn’t belong.

My hand dragged through my hair, trembling, before I cradled my head between my palms.

Then… I remembered.

That afternoon. Just before London.

“Can I get you something? Water? Juice?”

“Water’s fine.”

I’d left her on the couch. It took maybe three minutes in the kitchen.

When I came back—empty living room.

“Mom?”

No answer.

And then she stepped out of my room.

“Oh,” I’d said, surprised. “I thought you were in the living room.”

“I needed to use the restroom,” she replied smoothly, adjusting the sleeve of her blouse. “Hope you don’t mind.”

I should’ve minded.

My room didn’t have a bathroom. The guest restroom was

    VENUSTwo Days LaterTime doesn’t pass here. It dissolves.The days bled into each other, long and cruel, like a bruise that keeps spreading under the skin. I had no clock, no sun, no shift in light to mark the hours. Only that damn bulb, still flickering like it was mocking me.I stopped counting after 7,100-something.My lips were splitting. My tongue was thick, too dry to swallow. My throat had become a graveyard of words I could no longer speak. The ache in my limbs had turned to numbness. The kind of numb that wraps itself around your bones and whispers, this is it.Sleep came in strange flashes—hallucinations that danced on the edge of memory and nightmare. I saw Aaron’s face, sharp and furious. Then soft and pleading. I heard my mother humming lullabies from years I’d long buried. I felt my brother's hand curled around my wrist—not cruel, but the way he used to walk me across the street when I was five?.It was all fake, of course. I didn't have a brother. They were Illusions c

    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
