登入I woke up gasping for air. After sitting up, I quickly look at my surroundings. I'm in a concrete room. There's one window at the top of the back wall. I'm on a small mattress, but there's nothing else to be seen in here.My purse is gone. I hold my breath reach into my ear. Thank god it is still in there. I frantically try to turn it on, but nothing. Then I reach into my bra. All of that stuff is still there, but none of it is direct communication. I'm on my own now.What the fuck am I doing in this dark room? At least there is sunlight coming from the window.I'm scared of what could've happened to me while I was out. My underwear seems to be in tact, and they didn't discover the stuff in my bra. They must have just dropped me in here.I took all of the gear I have and hid it under the mattress. I stood up and pulled on the door handle, but nothing. What the hell am I supposed to do? Wiring this room won't help shit.I waited for a little while, but I just got bored. Any punishme
"You were shot?!?" He asks, surprisingly worried."Well, grazed." I say, revealing my shin from under the table."What happened to him?""Killian put a bullet through his skull.""So that's why he's MIA.."I let him process his thoughts."Well I was going to send you out for revenge, but I guess that's taken care of."I hate that I actually believe him."Now I wish I was the one who killed him." I smile.He chuckles right before taking the last bite of his lamb."Sorry to drag you out to this dinner just for that. I thought there would be a lot more to tell you and prepare you for.""It's alright. I actually kind of enjoyed it..."Those words were hard to say, but they weren't entirely false. I thought I was going be a nervous wreck, but it was just casual conversation. Of course now the action will start to happen.The waiter comes back over with his credit card, and he puts it back in his wallet."Do you want to finish that water before we leave?"Now I have to think of an excuse."
Yesterday was spent preparing and training for this mission. I've learned about every way to pick a lock, I can avoid unconsciousness from different attacks, and I also know every function of peephole cameras and tiny microphones.The amount of gear I have right now could fill a tool belt if it wasn't all hidden. My purse has my disguised pocket knife, microphones and cameras hidden in tampon wrappers, and a gun in a secret compartment. If the purse is taken from me, I have extra gear in my bra.A lot of people will be observing the dinner. We payed off a waiter to let us in and set up cameras. There are also two guys in the restaurant watching. Nathaniel will be speaking to me through a small ear piece invisible to everyone. It is hidden behind some of the front cartilage attaching the ear.Everything up to my makeup is strategic. I did it much differently so Malcom doesn't recognize me. My silk, black turtleneck dress doesn't allow my bra to look suspicious. My heels even have a sm
Two days.Mr. Luca is going to sell my fucking soul to Malcom. Worst part is, I will have no choice but to comply. Two days until I'm tied up, tortured, and abused. My body will be beaten, and probably bruised. Just two days, and I'm going to fucking lose it.Killian called me today with last minute dinner plans. He wanted to meet before I went away.He made reservations at a fancy place for eight o'clock. It is dark in here, but the minimal lighting is very blue. I dressed up in a lacy black dress. I'm a little early, so I went ahead and got the table.This is my first time being out alone since I have met everyone. I have always had someone with me, or at least an escort. I guess Liam is calm knowing that Killian will be here.Killian walks out in front of me. It's like I thought him into existence."Hey!" I smile.He gives me a quick hug before sitting down.He's in a white shirt and a black tie. He has the sleeves rolled past his wrists. He couldn't sit properly at a table if his
We walked into the spacious home. The Christmas tree is almost two stories tall. Garland and lights are hung along the doorways and windows. This place is meant for HGTV.There are groups of people gathered around.Each are enjoying a glass of wine or champagne.I'm glad my dress fits in well. I'm always standing out, usually without trying."Nathaniel , you look well! I hope Liam hasn't been too hard on you." She says as she gives Nat a hug."You know he hasn't." Nat smiles.She turns to me now. My heart starts to pound.I give her my friendliest smile."I believe we haven't met...""Nonna, this is our friend Nara.""Is she not your date?"I start to get worried. Why is she being so critical of me?"I don't see why she can't be both." Liamanswers.She thinks about that for a second, "I guess you're right. And she's brought brownies with her?"I thought she would appreciate the brownies."I heard your not supposed to show up empty handed to a dinner party." I say, trying to appease
I haven't been grocery shopping since I was living on my own. Liam and Nathaniel needed my best input to make a good batch of brownies for a dinner party. We were just getting ready to check out, but I feel like an item is missing."What's wrong?" Nathaniel asks."We are missing something..." I say.I look through the cart and compare it to the list. Then I finally notice what's wrong."Oh it's the walnuts! We forgot them."Liam rolls his eyes, "I'll go get them.""Thank you." I smile.Nathaniel and I pull the cart to the side and wait."It feels so weird being back in here." I say."Why is that?""I don't know. It all just feels so... normal.""I guess so. I kind of lost the lining between what's normal or not.""Yeah..."Liam is taking forever with these walnuts. We are just looking around the store now."Some girls are walking towards us." Nat says, looking behind me."What?" I ask.I spin around and feel my anxiety spike. I can't believe what I am seeing. My school friends are wa
