ALEXANDER

I was in the hospital corridor, barking orders into my phone. My voice echoed through the hallway, sharp and rough from exhaustion.

“Search the entire area where they found her,” I said, pacing back and forth. “Every corner, every house, every damn tree. I don’t care how long it takes, just find something! Anything!”

“Yes, sir,” one of my men replied quickly before I hung up.

I leaned against the wall, breathing heavily. My eyes burned from staying awake all night, but I didn’t care. Andrea was still out there. That was all that mattered.

Hours passed like days. The quiet hum of the hospital made the wait worse. Everyone looked drained. Lexi sat in the corner with her head in her hands. Andrew stood by the door, silent but tense. Mr. Dale kept muttering prayers under his breath.

Then finally, the doctor came out and said softly, “She’s awake now.”

We all rushed in. Kate was sitting up weakly, her eyes swollen and her lips dry. The moment she saw us, she broke

    ANDREA Opening my eyes groggily, I felt a banging pain in my head that made everything spin. My body ached all over, every muscle screaming with pain. For a few seconds, I couldn’t even remember what had happened or where I was. The air smelled strange, damp and musty, like old walls and dust. When I tried to move, a sharp pain shot through my side and I gasped. My wrists burned where the ropes had rubbed my skin raw, and my stomach felt sore, each breath hurting more than the last. I blinked slowly, forcing my blurry vision to focus on my surroundings. This place looked different. Smaller. Darker. The floor was rough concrete and the walls were bare, with cracks running through them. There was no window this time, only a weak, flickering bulb hanging from the ceiling, giving off just enough light for me to see an old chair and a few broken boxes in one corner. That was when it hit me...they had moved me again. My heart started racing. I turned my head quickly, looking aroun

    ANDREA We reached the door, my hand already turning the key, when I felt something grab my ankle. I gasped and looked down. The man was crawling toward me, blood trickling from his forehead, his hand clamped tightly around my leg. His eyes were wild with rage. “No!” I shouted, kicking at him with my free foot, but his grip only tightened. The door creaked open a little, but I couldn’t move. Panic rushed through me like fire. Kate froze for a second, her face pale. I saw her out of the corner of my eye as she turned back. “Go!” I screamed. “Kate, run!” She hesitated, shaking her head. “Andrea, I can’t...” “Don’t look back!” I shouted louder, struggling to pull my leg free. “Just run! I’ll be right behind you!” Her eyes filled with tears, but I shook my head hard, desperate. “Go! Now!” Finally, she turned and ran, her footsteps echoing down the hall. The man yanked my leg, dragging me back inside. I kicked again, harder this time, and hit his face. He grunted, but hi

    ANDREA Night turned into day and then night again, but inside the room I could not tell time like normal people. The only way to know how long had passed was the thin strip of sky I could see through the barred window. At first it glowed pale, then went dark, then gray again. That was my clock. We had not been found. No footsteps, no voices calling our names, nothing but the same heavy quiet. My stomach growled so loud it felt like thunder, but when the masked man put the plates down earlier I could not force myself to eat. The rice looked stale and the stew smelled strange. Kate pushed the bowl away with her foot and I followed her lead. We were hungry, but our mouths had gone to salt and fear, not appetite. I kept checking the ropes when I could. They were tight, but the knots were not impossible. I tried to move my wrists, rotate my fingers, find the weak spot. Each small motion made my arms burn, but I had to try. Kate watched me with wide, scared eyes. I tried to smil

  • IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER    Chapter 58

    ALEXANDER I hadn’t slept all night. My head was pounding, my body running on nothing but anger and fear. Every hour that passed without finding Andrea made me feel like I was losing my mind. The monitors in front of me showed dozens of camera feeds, all rewound, paused, zoomed in, then played again. Still nothing. No sign of her. No trace of the van. It was as if the earth had swallowed her whole. I slammed my fist on the desk so hard that the keyboard bounced off the edge. “Where the hell are you, Andrea?” I muttered under my breath, my voice breaking. My phone buzzed. Another dead lead. I threw it across the room. The screen cracked against the wall, but I didn’t care. My mind was spinning, my chest tight, and I couldn’t breathe properly. Cole walked in quietly, holding a folder and his tablet. He looked exhausted but cautious, like he was walking into a lion’s den. “Sir,” he began carefully, “I just got an update.” I looked at him sharply. “Talk.” He swallowed hard. “The ow

    ANDREA Opening my eyes groggily, my head hurt so much it felt like someone was pounding on it from the inside. A dull, throbbing pain spread through my skull as I slowly opened my eyes. Everything was dark at first, blurry and spinning. I tried to move, but something stopped me. My wrists ached. When I tugged, I heard the scrape of rope against my skin. That was when I realised...my hands and legs were tied. A wave of panic shot through me. My breathing grew uneven as I forced myself to stay calm. I blinked a few more times until the darkness around me started to take shape. It was a small room. The air smelled damp and dusty, like an old basement or warehouse. A single light flickered weakly in one corner, barely enough to see. Then I saw Kate. She was lying a few feet away from me, her head resting on the cold floor. Her hands and legs were tied too, her face pale but peaceful, like she was still unconscious. “Kate,” I whispered hoarsely, my throat dry. “Kate, wake up.” No
