This has gone from bad to worse.

After half an hour of anxiously waiting for Roman to somehow find me and exact his punishment on me for saying no to him.

I’m at the bar getting another round of drinks none of us need at this moment when a hand lands heavily on my arm.

When I turn, I physically recoil.

My stomach knots, and my entire body goes numb.

“Been a while, Ana.”

No. No.

I haven’t actually talked to or even seen Dario Since our high school graduation, which he absolutely ruined for me.

When he cornered me, after I’d managed to avoid him for a week, and threw his threats at me.

Dangled what he had on me over my head as a way to keep me quiet about what had happened.

What he’d done.

I’ve spent years trying to pretend that what he has that could destroy me doesn’t, in fact, exist; that the events of that night never actually happened.

Coming face to face with him has it all rushing back at once.

When I don’t respond, he smirks. “Damn, Ana. You’re looking gorgeous.”

    COURT Today’s verdict will be tomorrow’s headline and the look of anguish on Sasha’s face is unbearable. He has been with me blow by blow since Ana went missing they all have. Every member of our close knit circle has been behind me 100 percent and I couldn’t have asked for more. I’m so grateful for their support. but I can’t put my family through this any longer. I just need this to be over. The details that they have brought up publicly about my past life have been bad to say the least, my worst nightmare. They should never have had to listen to any of it let alone have to deal with it splashed all over the world news. The paparazzi presence in this courtroom today is overwhelming and I keep my eyes cast down so that they can’t get the shot of my face that they all so desperately want. Why is it that the perfect days in my life like are the ones in Ana’s arms flew by in the blink of an eye but the horrific final day of my court case is the slowest day in history?

    COURT ROOM“Why not?” he asks.“Best friends keep each other’s secrets, Yuri,” California replies coldly. God, this is rehearsed.“Do you spend a lot of time with them together?” he asks.“I live with them,Most of the time in a year” she replies.“How would you describe their relationship?” he asks.California smiles warmly at me and I feel my tears rise again. “They are madly in love. I don’t know a couple who are so in love.”The lump in my throat breaks and I drop my head, unable to hide the tears again. I hear the clicks of the cameras as they capture my tears. Fucking get me out of here.“Have you ever seen Mr Petrov be abusive to Ana?”“Never once. He adores her and worships the ground she walks on. There is no way he would ever raise a hand to her,” California replies, annoyed at the question.“Would Ana have told you if there had been abuse?” he asks.“Definitely, we tell each other everything,” she replies succinctly.“Do you think Roman Petrov killed your Friend,

    ANAIt’s about two midnight think. I am sitting at the window in a chair looking at the open field below lit by moonlight. I feel sick to my stomach, I don’t know if this plan is going to work and if it does how far away civilisation is from here. I could run for days and not see anyone. What if this is in fact a property and there are guards on the gates surrounding it? I don’t think that’s the case though because I can see the forest just over the hill. I wish the forest came right up to the house because then it would be easier for me to run without being seen. I think it’s about 300 metres to the forest from the house but that is only on this side of the house. What’s the other side like?What do I do Mom? Tell me what to do? Which way do I run?I have no shoes so I have to try and make some, but from what? How do you make fucking shoes? I asked them for some bedsocks tonight, and said my feet were cold. Bed socks are thick and hopefully will protect me a little. If

    AnaI lie in bed as I watch Roman and me making love on one of the screens i think I've been desensitized. I could watch it all day. In fact I have been doing just that. We are making slow gentle love. He is on his widespread knees, one forearm is holding his bodyweight off me and the other hand is on my behind as he holds me how his body wants me.God I miss him, I miss his scent, his touch, his love for me. I can’t live like this, not without him. It's like I'm starved of food. I’m suffocating even though I have air because the air that I’m breathing is polluted with evil been around such people.Help me. Somebody, please help me. On the other screen I see Roman walk into our bedroom and I grab the remote and point it to the television. I smile a sad smile sets up on my face as I watch him. He lies down on the bed and starts scrolling through his phone. He smiles softly when he gets to an image. I can’t see the image but I know it’s of me. He has been reading my diaries

    COURTHOUSE “Only from meetings and business activities and the first time my son meet them at a club in Miami,” he replies as his eyes flick nervously to Roman. “What did he tell you?” “he told me that Ana said he was playing her and that he drove her crazy. She never knew where she stood with him.” “When Ana started seeing or dating Mr Petrov did she change at all?” the prosecutor asks. “Yes.” “How did she change Mr. Rice?” “She was crying all the time, nervous, unsettled and a bit jittery,” Senator Rice replies. “Did this bother you and your Son as people who knew her from a young age?” the prosecutor asks. “Yes.” “How long did this go on for?” He hesitates as his eyes flick to California. “For a few months, during which time he married her.” The prosecutor frowns. “So he began to brainwash her in effect to marry her, Right” “Yes I believe so.” “Then what happened?” the prosecutor asks. “Um, nobody around our circle came for the wedding. It was a closed affair
