The sun was just beginning to ride behind the tall glass towers of the city, casting golden light across the sky.Clara stood on the balcony of Adrian's penthouse, wearing his oversized shirt, hair messy from sleep and eyes haunted from fear, she ended going back to where she ran from. The sound of traffic far below couldn't compete with the thunderous panic pounding in her chest.

"You okay?" Adrian asked softly, stepping outside with two mugs of coffee. His voice always sounded so sweet, even when he was serious.

Clara turned slowly. "Should I be?"

He handed her the mug. "No regrets. We agreed on that."

She took the coffee but didn't drink. "It's not that simple."

"It could be. If you let it."

She laughed bitterly. "You think I can just forget I’m married to Julian Davenport?"

    Liam grinned.Julian swirled his drink, eyes unfocused. “Great. So we’re dealing with a vengeful ex, a broken woman, and now a baby.”“She’s not just ‘a broken woman,’” Liam said sharply.Julian didn’t respond.Jasper finally spoke, his tone calm but clipped. “You handle that. The Adrian stuff. Because I’m dealing with something else.”“What?” Liam asked.“The old shit,” Jasper said. “His real name is Malcom. And I think he made a deal with my father years ago. A contract. A powerful one.”Liam nodded slowly. “You’re both being targeted.”“Yeah,” Julian said with a bitter chuckle. “Welcome to the family.”Jasper checked his watch. “We’re out of time. You told us. Now go back to Clara.”Liam stood, but paused. “She’s still my sister.”He turned and walked out of the lounge.***Clara stirred as the front door shut softly. She didn’t open her eyes all the way, just enough to confirm Liam had gone.She waited.Five seconds.Ten.Then, slowly, she sat up, her breathing steady but her eye

    “Do you want anything else?” Liam asked as he stood at the doorway, holding his keys.Clara, curled up on the couch with a blanket over her legs, looked up with tired eyes.“Pickles.”Liam blinked. “What?”“Pickles,” she repeated, a bit sheepishly. “And maybe strawberry ice cream.”He stared at her.“Together,” she added quietly.Liam made a face. “That’s disgusting.”“It’s not me,” Clara mumbled, resting a hand on her belly. “It’s your niece or nephew.”He smirked and nodded. “Alright, alright. I’m heading to the store now. Just rest.”Clara gave him a small smile. “Thank you, Liam. Really.”“Don’t get all emotional on me,” he said, grabbing his hoodie. “I’m still charging you rent for those pickles.”She laughed softly as he stepped out.At the Grocery Store – 20 Minutes LaterLiam walked down the aisle with a basket hanging from one arm , pickles, strawberry ice cream, bread, and bottled water already inside.He was scanning for Clara’s weird cereal craving when a voice behind him

    Vivian cried out, but he didn’t stop. He kept fucking her, his thrusts getting harder, faster.“Oh god… I’m gonna cum.” he growled, he pulled out , cumming on her back, she fell onto the couch, watched him as he stood up to grab the cup of whiskey, he drank it in one breath without suspecting anything"Do you want to go another round ? " Vivian asked "but you're going to double the pay "“Fuck, of course.” he saidVivian opened her legs wide knowing that before he thrust into her thrice the drug would take effect.Mr Davenport knelt down, his mouth found her pussy, he licked it, his tongue playing with her clit. Vivian gasped, she tried to pull away but he held her firm, his tongue was everywhere.He stood up, his cock was hard and ready again, he entered her pussy with a deep thrust.Vivian let out a loud moan. “Fuck! That feels good.”He started thrusting fast and deep, his grip on her hips was tight.“Fuck me hard… fuck me hard!” Vivian cried, her pussy was soaking wet.“I’m gonna

    "A picture of my dad younger self, found it when I was going through my mom stuffs, hoping to find something because I knew there has to be a reason why that man is after my family, found this symbol and a blurred face, but the face had the same tattoo on his neck.”“So do we, on our stomachs, an infinity dragon symbol.” Vivian said, trying to put everything together “This means Your father knew him... maybe even worked with him."The room went still.Jasper didn’t move. He stared at the items like they were cursed."Then maybe it’s time my father answers some questions," he said, his voice like steel.Vivian looked at Tasha. "What’s the plan?"Tasha gave her a half-smile. "Step one? You’re in. That changes everything."Vivian sighed and sat down. "Then let’s find some answers.”**The next day, Vivian, Jasper, and Tasha sat in Jasper’s study.“So the first thing we need to figure out,” Tasha said, arms crossed, “is what the hell Mr. Davenport did to that twisted old man that’s got h

    Tasha was already in bed, curled under her duvet with one leg sticking out, the universal symbol of I’m tired but I don’t want to die of heat. Her phone vibrated on the nightstand.She groaned. “If that’s one more skincare ad…”She grabbed the phone, eyes squinting at the brightness.Jasper:Your friend is back.Meaning you are back.Get ready to be kidnapped tomorrow.And don’t bullshit me about being civilized.Tasha blinked.Then again.She stared at the message, expression blank.“Boy, get outta here,” she muttered and dropped the phone back on the table like it was cursed.She turned, fluffed her pillow with aggressive indifference, and went right back to sleep like she hadn’t just been threatened with a full-grown abduction.Tasha barely had time to stir the last spoon of cereal into her mouth when she heard the front door click open.She didn’t bother turning. “If you’re here to kidnap me,” she said flatly, “at least let me finish my breakfast.”The silence that followed wasn’t

    The room smelled like metal, fear, and sweat.Vivian’s lips were dry. Tasha’s arms ached. Kachi sat silent in the corner, eyes half-shut but alert.None of them knew how long they had been down there.Then they heard it.Footsteps.Sharp. Measured. Confident.The door opened.He walked in.The old shit — the man with no heart, no soul, no mercy.Tasha’s voice cracked. “Are you going to kill us now?”The old shit chuckled darkly.“No. Not today.”Vivian narrowed her eyes. “What do you want?”He smiled. It was the kind of smile that made your stomach twist.“I’m letting you two go,” he said casually.Vivian and Tasha glanced at each other in confusion.“You’re... letting us go?” Tasha asked.“Yes. You’re free to walk out that door.”Vivian was instantly suspicious. “What’s the catch?”He turned his back to them and walked slowly toward Kachi.“She stays.”“No!” Vivian shouted. “Why her?”“She’s leverage.”Kachi looked up. “I’m not scared of you.”“You should be,” the old shit replied ca
