Riley’s pov

I was half-convinced my phone was possessed. The screen lit up on my desk, and Andrew’s name flashed. I considered letting it ring out, but something in me knew better. Ignoring him wouldn’t make him go away.

With a deep breath, I snatched the phone and picked up. “What do you want?”

He laughed, the sound scraping against my nerves like nails on glass. “That’s a little rude of you, don’t you think?”

“I’m not in the mood for your games,” I snapped.

“Relax,” he drawled, his tone smug. “I just wanted to check on you. You’ve been getting a lot of heat lately. Almost like someone’s been stirring the pot.”

  • Let Me Go, Boss!   109: Stranger Danger

    Camillas POVI poured myself a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and raised it slightly in the mirror, smirking at my reflection. I was still as flawless as always, still in charge.“Idiots,” I muttered as I glanced down at my phone, I still haven’t gotten any response from the goons, not even a single update since yesterday.I typed out a message to Cole—the tall one with the broken nose.Me: Where the hell are you? I want proof-of-life today.I stared at the screen, waiting for a double tick but nothing changed, no ticks and no typing bubble. Just dead silence that prickled the hairs at the back of my neck. I set the glass of wine down on a table a little too hard. “Useless scum.”A flicker of movement caught my eye through the window. I turned around fast, my heart thudding for a second, it was just the wind shifting the trees.“You’re being paranoid,” I told myself out loud. “They’re just idiots, not ghosts.”I turned back to the mirror, fixed my lipstick, and tossed my coat over one shou

  • Let Me Go, Boss!   108: Tears

    Leo’s POV. The guy in front of me was already bleeding, but that didn’t matter to me. He hadn’t bled enough.I stared at him, both of his hands were zip-tied behind the chair. His shirt was soaked in sweat and his lip was busted open from the last punch I had landed on him. He was whimpering like a kicked dog, but still, I wasn’t satisfied, I wasn’t calm or near done with him. “Are you ready to answer my question now?” I growled. He stayed silent, his lips curled upwards into a smirk and he chuckled. My blood boiled inside of me and I backhanded him so hard his chair screeched backward on the floor. “I said speak, you piece of shit!”But despite that, he still said nothing, he just m coughed and then sneered at me. Big mistake.I stepped back, rolled my shoulders, cracked my neck. “Okay then. You want the hard way?”I unzipped the bag on the table, it had many things like, duct tape, razor and wire. Even a hammer. I laid them down one by one, slow, letting the sound echo through

  • Let Me Go, Boss!   107: You came for me

    Jax’s PovI stared at the building through the windshield, my fingers tightening around the grip of my gun. The van was silent, except for the occasional squawk from Jay’s comms and the soft creak of Leo adjusting beside me.There were three stories in front of us, with large windows and faded green paint.“She’s in there,” Leo muttered. No doubt in his voice.I nodded once. Jay’s voice crackled in my earpiece. “The perimeter is secure. My guys are positioned on all exits, you’ve got the green light.”My blood was boiling. I hadn’t slept. I hadn’t eaten. All I could see in my head was Riley’s face—tied, bruised, scared.Leo adjusted his vest and looked at me. “You ready?”“Yes” I growled, pushing the van door open. “Oh they’re gonna wish they didn’t dare me.”We moved fast, sticking to the side of the alley. Jay’s guy pointed toward the front door and gave a signal, there were guards inside, one or two.I didn’t care if there were twenty, I raised my boot and slammed it into the door

  • Let Me Go, Boss!   106: Operation get her

    Riley’s PovThe door creaked open and I froze from the cold air that blew in. One of the guys stomped in, grumbling under his breath and clutching the phone tight against his ear. “Dumbass cousin better be dying,” he muttered, and then louder, he said, “I gotta take a leak. Don’t do nothing.” He pointed a meaty finger at me, like I could do anything even if I tried. Then… he turned back and walked out, closing the door behind him.But u heard no click. He didn’t lock the door. I sat upright immediately. My pulse thudded in my ears. I counted to five, then ten, waiting for him to return but he didn’t. It wasn’t a test on me… right? He has looked like he was genuinely distracted.I waited another five seconds. Then I slid to the floor and began sawing at the rope with the screw I had gotten from under my mattress, this time I was fast and messy with it. My hands trembled from the pressure, but I didn’t stop until the last thread gave way and my wrist slipped free.One down.I worked

  • Let Me Go, Boss!   105: Drones?

    Kidnappers PovI flicked on my lighter, letting the flame dance for a second before sparking it to life against the butt of my cigarette. The wind slapped at my coat as I leaned against the rusted railing outside the warehouse. It was cold, colder than usual for this time of year. I took a long drag, exhaling the smoke out slowly.This job was supposed to be easy, all we had to do was just grab the girl, contact the boyfriend and run with the money. We weren’t supposed to still be here, babysitting some B-list celeb’s girlfriend with a camera blinking in the corner and bad Chinese takeout stinking up the place.I squint across the empty lot and for a second, I swear I see something—just a quick zip in the air, like a fly with a motor. But it’s gone before I even blink again.“Shit,” I muttered under my breath.I stubbed the cigarette out on the rail, flicked the butt into the dark, and jogged back inside. The warehouse smelled like mildew and piss. Rico was hunched over that tiny fol

  • Let Me Go, Boss!   104: get her

    Jaxs PovI was losing my goddamn mind. Riley was out there: scared, alone, and I couldn’t do a damn thing yet. I paced the length of the office, my fists clenching and unclenching with each movement I made. My office door opened and Jay walked in, looking concerned. “We’ve been combing the docks, the warehouses, everywhere they could’ve taken her. South Harbor’s our best bet. We’re picking up signs of activity: some heat fluctuations, power surges at weird hours but we’ve not gotten any precise location, faces or names yet.”I stopped pacing. “That’s not good enough.”“I know,” he said simply, walking over to the table and spreading out a rough map. “But we’re close.”I looked down at the circled areas he’d marked with red pen.“Every minute they have her,” I muttered impatiently, “is another minute they could be hurting her.”Jay’s eyes flicked up. “I’m sure they wouldn’t hurt her. They want a payout, not a dead body. That buys us time; if we’re smart enough.”I hated how calm he s
