INICIAR SESIÓNHearing my name, I immediately climbed in and slammed the door shut. Reporters rushed forward, banging on the car, but the driver had already pulled away."Crazy reporters," I mumbled under my breath. My phone buzzed; it was Florida, who had boarded a separate car behind me."Miss, a broadcasting company is requesting your attention. They want you to attend a live show to talk about your disappearance." Hearing her words, my grip tightened.A broadcast? Live? I knew this was normal for celebrities and survivors, but why did it feel like a trap?"When was the email sent?" I asked."Yesterday," she replied. I bit my bottom lip. Should I accept? What could I even say? Do I talk about being tortured in an unknown place? I don't even know what the real Mia went through; I’d have to cook up a believable story."Miss, are you still there?" Florida prompted."Send the email to me. I will review it and give you feedback," I said firmly, then hung up."Where to, Miss?" the driver asked."The ho
"Reall-" I stopped on my track as I heard Xena's footsteps moving closer to the door, I immediately nodded and Mrs. Check held my hands, walking off with me...I analyzed her. Although she was dressed plainly, the gown she wore was worth billions... it made me wonder what a woman like her was actually doing in a low hospital like this.I sighted Xena's silhouette behind me, just staring. I dared not turn even though I wanted to and run into her arms."What brings you here?" I asked, breathing in heavily and she smiled."I came here for charity," she said and my eyes sparkled. She donated to this hospital! I have never seen a rich woman who would actually do this, unless...."My daughter died once, of a terminal illness. She was actually eighteen then and had just celebrated her birthday, when she collapsed that very second, and got hospitalized...." She stopped on her tracks and gently took my hands, as I gazed at her with full pity."Having all the money in the world is useless, when
Third person's pov Cassian tossed his jacket onto the chair, but why did it feel weird and empty? Usually when he gets home, Celeste would be awake waiting for him or clutching her phone, waiting for his call, but right now it was pitch dark and no one was to be found."Celeste!" he yelled, yet no answer came. He chuckled and angrily took off his tie."How can she be asleep while I'm out?" he mumbled and moved towards the stairs, staggering as he was drunk."Celeste!" he yelled again once he arrived at her door, yet no response came. He felt a sudden panic in his chest and pushed the door open.There she was, sleeping peacefully on the bed, her hair covering her face, the duvet clinging to her body, and Cassian's breath hitched.He felt a sudden kind of pain that second, but it disappeared the next second and he moved towards her."Undress, get on your knees and please me," he screamed, making Celeste flutter her lashes open."Huh?" she asked softly, and he chuckled, laughing evilly.

I left the hospital after a message came from Florida. "She's at a Han-A." Seeing it, my breath hitched. That hospital wasn't even half good... now she was there, in such a poor place. I gritted my teeth hard."What's wrong?" Vincent asked. I looked up at him. "I have to leave right now!" I said, he stood up too."I have to meet Xena. She's sick and stuck in a small hospital," I said, trying hard to control the burning hatred I felt for Christian. A mere man had fooled me and destroyed my own hard work and family."I will come with you—""Don't. You need to rest," I said. His lips parted to protest but I had already walked out on him.As the driver sped out, my gaze stayed fixed on the screen. Florida was still in the hospital and she was filming them, then I sighted Christian, the grip on my phone tightened and I increased the volume."What do you want?" Xena yelled, while my mum just gave him a cold shoulder, he shrugged and shoved those two thousand dollars buck cash on top of her
The woman paused on crying as she heard her husband's words and glared at him."What do you mean? You told me to deal with whoever was calling our son names!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, and Sloane scoffed in disgust."Shut it. If I told you to run into a fire, would you run into it? Don't blame me for your useless actions," he yelled, and she cried harder, then turned to Sloane."Please forgive me. I was wrong and merely manipulated by my husband. I wouldn't dare do this anymore!" she begged, pressing her hands together and rubbing them, but Sloane moved backward. No hint of calmness lingered in her eyes, only irritation."You are begging now? My son had been bullied by your son for years. He had been called fatherless all because adults like you are rotten and gossip behind my back, how the hell will a teenager say all that?" she screamed and pointed at them. "Apologize? What about the terror and horror my son went through? Have you ever thought about that? He never even c
"Mia, what a beautiful name!" Silvia said, and my smile stretched wider. I searched around with my eyes. Did Xena not come with Mum? Why would she let her go out all alone?"Mum, I don't really understand why you brought me here!" Xena said from behind, making me turn. She was dressed in an off-sho
I blinked twice, I had never seen Evelyn act this way before. Did she really love Mia to this extent? "Mum, that was so cool!" Sloane said, and it Evelyn chuckle softly.She was about to say something else when Sloane's phone suddenly rang, she glanced at the screen and immediately stood up.Her pe
"Is my mum okay?""Cassidy, sit down. I'm trying to get through to her!" Sloane said.I stood outside the door, hearing every word clearly.I breathed in softly when Vincent's hand rested on my hair, caressing it gently. My entire body went stiff instantly. I couldn't even bring myself to turn arou
"there are cameras here!" he said.Hearing those words, my heartbeat rose again. I stared around and finally found two.Vincent took the iPad, stared down at it, and then...BANG BANG.Two bullets moved straight out, shattering the cameras to pieces."Does this mean someone sent him to do this?"
