last update Last Updated: 2025-06-27 22:05:34

Riley’s POV

If there was one thing I’d learned in the past few weeks, it was this: never walk into a room looking like the wounded party. Especially when you’re still trying to figure out who’s actually on your side.

So I put on my sleekest pair of trousers, a tucked-in blouse that said “professional but not trying too hard,” and tied my hair up like I meant business.

Leo’s office was in a gleaming high-rise downtown, all exposed brick and soft lighting, like the interior was trying to convince you it wasn’t part of the cold, ruthless machine of the corporate tennis world. The receptionist smiled when she saw me.

“Mr. Carter expecting you. You can go right in.”

Of course he was.

Leo looked up from his desk as I entered, smiling in that easy, charming way that made you forget he’d once threatened to hire you just to steal you from someone else. His sleeves were rolled up, and he stood the moment I stepped in.

“Riley,” he said. “Glad you came.”

“Still thinking about the offer,” I said a

  • Let Me Go, Boss!   110: Someone you know

    Camilla’s POVI tugged at my wrists but the zip ties dug in deeper.“Get closer,” I said, lifting my chin, “I’ll make you regret it.”He chuckled, like we were some old friends sharing some stupid joke.“No, no. I like you right there. All tied up in this dim lighting. It suits you.”I said nothing. I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction.He took a slow walk around me, like he was inspecting an art piece. “You know, the hardest part was waiting. Watching and seeing where you ran to next. You’ve got a slippery little lifestyle, don’t you?”I kept my face straight, but my pulse thudded in my ears.He stepped in front of me, crouched, until we were at eye level.“I know about Paris. The hotel in Vienna. The cash transfers through the Bali shell companies. Your assistant who thinks she’s slick with burner phones isn’t so smart after all.” I tilted my head. “You clearly have a hobby. But this feels more like stalking than business.”“Oh, sweetheart,” he grinned wider. “This is personal, at

  • 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
