Lihat lebih banyakWhitney’s POVBack home, I sat in the windowsill in our room, gazing out. The city lights shimmered like scattered embers in the distance. A reminder hit me like a brick; we almost didn’t get to see this place again. Yesterday could have been the last day I held Casio in my arms. The last time kissing him. Last time staring into his dark brown eyes. But thank goodness we were both still here. We were both still alive.I leaned back, exhaustion settling deep into my bones. My wrists were still raw from the ropes; a faint bruise had formed.William’s expression kept flashing in my mind. The way he looked at me was as if I were something precious, something he couldn’t stand to see get hurt. He had been calm the entire time we were tied up. But he made no move to hurt us or even speak horribly, unlike Marcus. Marcus didn’t care what he said or did. He acted like he was the one in charge, but meanwhile, it was William. But he didn’t seem like someone who would hurt a fly.I shook the thou
Whitney’s POVMy heart pounded in my chest. Here I was again in the hands of a Mafia family that wants me. Why did these men want me? I understand it was a way to get to Casio, but usually one dies in the hands of those who want revenge, but here I was still alive. The calmness and silence of the cabin were worrisome. The slightest loud sound, Marcus and William will come storming in, and who knows what they will do.“These ropes are tied good,” I said softly, wincing as the rope scraped my wrists raw.Casio let out a low chuckle, “Yeah, I considered recruiting whoever did it.” But his amusement quickly died. “They will learn not to underestimate me.” I felt him fidgeting with his hands as he tried to escape the ropes.“Do you think this is the last time we will be together? If so, I would at least like to have one more night with you.” I said teasingly.He chuckled once again, “You’re strangely very calm. I’m impressed.”“Well, I learned from the best. But we can’t let these two dick
Casio’s POVAs I stepped out of the cabin, my gun ready in my hands, I scanned the area before making my way down the steps onto the gravel. The damp, cold air greeted my face; the storm was creeping closer. Each step was measured, silent. My boots pressed into the soft ground with barely a sound.Another faint noise caught my attention; I raised my gun and pointed it in that direction. Stepping closer in the direction of the sound, I lowered my gun when I saw a small bunny. As it saw me, it scattered away. I shook my head. “It was probably just the wind that blew off an old branch,” I muttered to myself.Just as I turned to return to the cabin, a sharp pain shot through my head then everything turned black.***The first thing that I felt was a pounding in my skull. A slow, deep throb that pulsed behind my eyes, I slowly woke from the darkness that had consumed me. My vision was blurred, the world a haze of grey and shadow. Trying to move, but the rope bit into my wrists and ankles.
Whitney’s POVIt has been a week since we arrived at the cabin tucked deep within the mountains. Away from the city lights, far from the chaos that I now call my life. We still have no information on the Rivera Brothers; they are still missing, and there have been no leads. That thought gnawed on me. What if they find us? Me? What were they planning? Fuck, it was a thought that crosses my mind daily.The quietness of the woods made my thoughts run wild like a wolf running through the trees at full speed. Except that a wolf dodges the branches, unlike me, every branch hits me with force, slamming me to the ground. The rustle of the trees brought me back to reality. The wind was picking up as nighttime started to settle in. Mist started to hug the trees and cover the road.Footsteps caught my attention, and Casio stepped towards me with a cup of coffee in his hand and a blanket in the other. I took the cup from him with a soft smile, “Thank you.” He then wrapped the blanket around me, m
