Scarlett’s POV

Sour, rotten, and sweet all at once. It dripped down my cheeks, into my mouth, clinging to my hair like heavy sludge.

Laughter and gasps filled the room immediately. What the actual fuck???

“Welcome back, Luna!”

That voice. It was the jealous freak. I slowly wiped the mess from my eyes with the back of my hand, blinked open, and scanned the room until I locked onto her and the empty bucket sitting by her feet.

Without saying a single word, I calmly walked over to the full-length

  • From The Billionaire’s Captive To His Queen   Chapter 21

    Scarlett’s POVI let out a shaky breath of pure relief and quickly brought the blade around to slice through the remaining bounds on my other wrist and my ankles. Within seconds, the ropes fell away. I pushed myself up off the floor, my legs shaking so badly I almost collapsed. My hands were trembling uncontrollably as I pushed my matted hair out of my face. I licked my swollen lower lip, wiping the blood from my chin with the back of my hand.I scanned the room, then turned to the other women. They were staring at me with wide, disbelieving eyes.Without saying a word, I rushed over to the nearest woman and sliced through her ropes."Thank you... oh God, thank you," she whispered, her voice breaking as she clutched her wrists."Hurry," I breathed, my heart hammering against my ribs. My chest heaved with every small sound outside the room. I moved to the second woman and cut her free just as fast, my hands shaking so hard the knife clattered against her chair frame before severing

    Scarlett’s POVMy head throbbed with a dull, heavy ache that felt like it was going to split my skull in two. I couldn’t even tell how many days I had been trapped in this dark, suffocating room. I knew we had slept at least twice, or maybe three times?.. but everything was a blur. My stomach was a hollow, burning pit, and my throat was so dry it felt like sandpaper every time I tried to swallow. Ever since that terrifying day they brought in that python and slaughtered it right in front of us, no one had come back. No food. Not a single drop of water. It was like they had just disappeared into thin air, leaving us here to rot in the dark.My head dropped heavily against my chest, my breath coming out in weak, raspy hitches. My eyes felt dry, hollow, and completely drained of life.Suddenly, a loud, violent groan echoed through the heavy metal door. My head snapped up, my heart leaping straight into my throat. The door slammed open, and a man stomped inside. He was huge, his arms

    Scarlett’s POVOne of the women in the semicircle of chairs was staring straight ahead. She didn't look at me again, immediately tearing her gaze away and locking it back onto the concrete wall.I wasn't supposed to be here. Not like this. Not carrying a tiny life inside me, trapped in a cage with no way out.The thought tore through my chest like a knife, fresh tears spilling over faster than I could wipe them away.Anna.My mind drifted desperately to her. Anna was probably tearing the club apart right now, looking for me, calling my phone, wondering where I had vanished to. Would she ever find this place? Would anyone?A loud metallic rattle broke my thoughts. The heavy iron door creaked open again. My breath caught, my eyes snapping toward the entrance as three massive figures stepped back into the room.They didn't look at any of us. They walked straight over to one of the men tied to a chair nearby, roughly cutting his ropes and yanking him upright. He gasped, thrashing weakl

    Scarlett’s POVThe icy shock hit me before my eyes could even snap open. Water. Freezing, filthy water splashed straight across my face, stinging the raw cut on my lip and shocking every nerve in my body. My chest seized, the cold blocking the air in my lungs as a sharp, splitting headache hammered the inside of my skull.The movement pulled at the nail hole in my leg, sending a white-hot jolt of agony shooting straight up my calf. A whimper scraped out of my throat, my teeth clamping down so hard on my tongue I tasted copper."Wake up, princess," a deep, gravelly voice cut through the dark. My lids fluttered open, heavy and trembling. The dim, flickering yellow bulb overhead spun in circles, making my stomach roll. My heart was already beating so fast, so loud, that it thudded straight against my eardrums. My mind raced back, dragging me straight to the last time I saw him. The memory of what he had done, the sheer, casual cruelty he had shown before, flashed behind my eyes, maki

    Scarlett’s POVI let out a sharp gasp as I was yanked backward without any warning, my body sliding roughly across the metal floor. My bare legs slipped out the back of the van and hit something hard and sharp down below. A piercing, agonizing shriek ripped straight out of my throat.My eyes flew open, wide with horror, as I looked down. A long, rusted rusty nail was driven deep, straight through the flesh of my lower leg, tearing the skin wide open. Blood immediately welled up around it, hot and fast."Shut up, you little bitch," one of them snarled, grabbing me by the arm.One of them was wearing green trousers. Another had on a faded green top. The third one standing by the bumper had a dirty green cap pulled low over his forehead.The Green Vipers.It was really, truly them.The realization settled deep into my bones, freezing the blood in my veins and scaring me far beyond anything I had ever felt in my entire life. My chest heaved in silent terror."Get her up. We don't have a

    Scarlett’s POVStanding there in the shadows, the reality of it crushed whatever fragile courage I’d dragged up those stairs. I could never fit into his world.A girl living paycheck to paycheck, dodging loan sharks and local gangs, was a joke next to women like Elise.Before I could force my lungs to work, Elise shifted closer. Her lips found his. It was a clean, sharp fracture.The last piece of my resolve shattered right there, sending a hot, stinging pain straight behind my eyes.I didn't let the tears fall until I turned my back. I clamped a hand over my mouth, biting down hard on my knuckle to keep the sob from ripping out of my throat as I stumbled blindly back down the stairs.The exit door swallowed me into the damp, suffocating alley behind the club. The cold night air hit my tear-streaked face, but it didn't cool the fire burning behind my eyes.I pulled my sweater tighter around myself, my boots clicking unevenly against the cracked pavement.How did my life become this ab
