"Why is she like this?" Enzo muttered like he couldn’t help himself as we all watched Missy disappear through the restaurant doors. I didn’t even look at him. Just the sound of his voice made my blood boil He said it like she was some kind of puzzle he couldn’t be bothered to solve. Like she was annoying. “She likes her space,” Nico said, his voice tight. Protective. Marco shrugged, rubbing the back of his neck like he didn’t understand any of this. “Or she’s hiding something,” he said. “Like, who freaks out about a party like that?” Before I could snap, Alexander’s voice cut through the air like ice breaking. “That’s not your business.” We all froze. Even Enzo. Alexander rarely spoke, and when he did, it meant don’t question him. The table went quiet after that. No one said a word. I stood up and grabbed my purse. “I’ll see you guys at the party,” I said, already turning toward the door. I needed air. And space. And maybe if I was being honest I needed distance from how uncomfortable it suddenly felt without Missy sitting beside me. The drive to my place was quiet, but my thoughts weren’t. I kept replaying it her voice, the look in her eyes. That wasn’t fear of parties. That was trauma. Flashbacks. Panic. And it came out of nowhere. Missy never talked about her past. I’d known her only for a few weeks, and she never mentioned family beyond her mom. No siblings. No dad. And she never went out. She just drew in her sketchbook, hummed old songs, and watched birds from the window like they were telling her stories. "You make me want to look into your background, little Missy," I whispered to myself. But I wouldn’t. I cared about her. She wasn’t some stranger. She was like… my kid sister. The one I never had. --- Two hours later, the party was alive. Red lights, loud music, perfume, and danger hung in the air like perfume mixed with smoke. Bodies swayed, drinks spilled, and secrets buzzed around in the corners of every whispered conversation. Marco slid his arms around my waist when I walked in, pressing a kiss to my cheek. “You look hot,” he said. “You better hope I do,” I said, letting myself laugh for a second. But the truth was… something felt off. I looked around. Nico was leaned against the wall, sipping soda, barely talking to anyone. His eyes flicked toward the door every few minutes like he was expecting someone. Enzo, on the other hand, was soaking in the attention. Arms stretched across the couch, girls hovering nearby, laughing at things he didn’t even say. Alexander was silent. Sitting in the corner, jaw tight, staring into his drink like it wronged him. He was always intense, but this time… it felt heavier. I leaned into Marco and whispered, “Why does it feel weird without her here?” He raised a brow. “You mean your soft little roommate?” I elbowed him gently, but the question lingered in my mind. Even surrounded by alcohol, music, expensive shoes, and dangerous men Missy’s absence was loud. She changed something. She walked into our lives all wide-eyed and sweet, and now everything felt a little less sharp when she was around. But tonight she wasn’t. And somehow, we all felt it.

Missy’s Point of ViewThe sound of the waves crashing against the dock was the only thing keeping me grounded. Everything else the memories, the nightmares, the faces it all blurred together into one long ache. I sat on the edge of the wooden pier, the early morning breeze brushing through my hair.The sea always had this way of listening, like it carried your secrets far away, somewhere you’d never find them again.It had been a week since the quarry. A week since the darkness. A week since I thought I’d never open my eyes again.Now I was awake. Alive. But somehow, I felt more lost than before.Mark had barely let me out of his sight since then. Every night I’d hear him pacing outside my door, making sure I was safe, making sure no one would take me again. And every morning, I’d see the guilt in his eyes. Guilt that he hadn’t been there. Guilt that I had been taken under his watch.But it wasn’t his fault. None of it was.I stared down at my hands, the faint bruises still visibl

Mixed point of View Missy’s POVWhen I woke up, the first thing I felt was warmth.A blanket draped over me, soft against my skin, smelling faintly of Mark’s cologne cedarwood and soap. My lashes fluttered open slowly, the world blurry at first. For a moment, I didn’t know where I was.Then I saw them.Mark sitting by the window, elbows on his knees, head buried in his hands. Nico standing near the door, arms crossed, dried blood staining his knuckles. Dimitri leaned against the wall beside him, quiet, staring at the floor like he hadn’t slept in years.The memories came rushing back all at once.The ropes. The darkness. Alexander’s voice whispering that twisted version of love.And then chaos.Gunfire. Yelling. Nico’s voice shouting my name. Dimitri dragging me through the tunnel.The pain. The fear. The smell of blood.I gasped and sat up so fast that the blanket fell from my shoulders.Mark’s head shot up instantly. “Missy?”My breath came out uneven. My heart was pounding.“W

Nico’s POVThe night air was thick with dust and the stench of gunpowder.Alexander lay on the ground, clutching his bleeding shoulder, but he still had that same damn smirk the kind that made something inside me snap.Missy was safe now, somewhere beyond the tunnel, with Mark driving her far from this hellhole. That was all that mattered. But me? I wasn’t done.Not yet.Dimitri’s boots crunched beside me as he reloaded his gun, his face unreadable, eyes cold as steel. We stood over Alexander in the half-lit chamber, the generator flickering like a dying heartbeat.“You should’ve killed me when you had the chance,” Alexander rasped, coughing blood, still trying to look fearless.I crouched, my hand gripping his jaw hard enough to make him wince.“You think I won’t?”He smiled through his pain. “Because of her. You’re too soft for that, Nico. Always have been.”I slammed his head against the ground so hard the echo cracked through the chamber.Dimitri didn’t stop me he didn’t even f

Mark’s POVThe road to the quarry felt endless. The headlights from Dimitri’s car sliced through the fog, illuminating the broken path ahead. None of us spoke for miles the silence was thick, heavy with anger, fear, and guilt.I sat in the backseat, my hands clenched so tight that my knuckles turned white. My heart was pounding against my ribs like it wanted out. Every minute Missy was gone felt like a knife twisting deeper.“Slow down,” I said hoarsely when Dimitri took a sharp turn.He didn’t answer. His jaw was locked, eyes fixed on the road. The dim red glow from the dashboard lit his face, making him look carved from stone. Beside him, Nico sat stiffly, his hand resting on his thigh, tapping restlessly a nervous habit he picked up when he was younger.I looked at both of them two men who could barely stand each other, forced to work together for one reason. Missy.When we finally pulled up to the quarry, the engine hummed into silence. What stood before us was a wasteland of

Dimitri’s Point of ViewThe call ended, but the echo of Mark’s voice stayed in my head."She’s my sister."The way he said it raw, cracked, desperate it hit something inside me that I didn’t expect.I dropped the phone onto my desk and leaned back in the chair, staring at the ceiling. The storm outside rattled the windows, wind whistling through the cracks. The whole house felt like it was holding its breath.Missy.She didn’t deserve this.None of them did.And yet somehow, all of this the chaos, the fear, the pain led back to this house. To my father.I glanced toward the hallway. His office door was still slightly open, light spilling through the crack. I hadn’t closed it properly after breaking in earlier.Inside that room were secrets. Plans. Maybe answers.But also danger.If my father caught me snooping again, I wouldn’t get another warning I’d disappear, just like the others who crossed him.I stood up slowly, every step toward that door feeling heavier than the last.When

Mark’s Point of ViewThe house felt too big without her.Every creak, every shadow, every echo of the rain outside reminded me she wasn’t here. Missy’s laughter used to fill this place. Her perfume still lingered faintly in the air that sweet vanilla scent that always clung to her hair. Now it made my chest ache.I stood in the middle of the living room, gripping her broken necklace so tightly the metal dug into my skin. The chain had snapped near the clasp as if she’d fought. That thought alone made my stomach twist.She fought back.And still, he took her.I turned to the window again. The street outside was empty, but my head wasn’t. Nico’s car had disappeared into the dark minutes ago, leaving me with nothing but silence and fear. I didn’t like trusting him, but at least he was doing something. Me? I was stuck.My hands trembled as I ran them through my hair. I’d always promised Mom that I’d keep Missy safe, no matter what. When she died, that promise became my reason for br
