XAVIER'S POV

“Ladies and gentlemen.”

I heard it.

The announcer's voice. Like a bean, it came and I felt my breath hitch in my throat.

The meeting was just about to start and the air, as I recalled, loomed with a boiling intensity that made it hard to act normal.

“The voting for the presidential seat of the McKinney company will soon begin bad like the last time, we'll all come out and vote. The rules are simple, the shareholders can only vote in the favor of one participant.” He continued and I felt a sharp jolt of adrenaline lung into my veins.

I jammed my eyelids close and with each muffled gasp that rippled through my lips, I felt myself edging slowly into a haze— one that was coerced solely by my troubled thoughts.

In that dazed moment, my mind flashed over a lot of things. The president. Ella. Ivy. I thought of each and every one and as I did that, I got ready to face Madame Browne head on.

    ELLA’S POVI did. Slowly.I caught the sight of one of the guards making his way towards me slowly. Just as he got close enough, he dropped his weapon which had been pointed towards me the whole while. “Micheal? How's it been buddy?’My heart caught. Micheal?I wasn't Micheal but I also couldn't let him know that.I nodded my head slowly as he broke into soft laughter. “I was scared there, right?”I tried to think of what to say as a response without getting caught. My voice would give me out the instant I opened my mouth. I had to think of something else.Before I could begin pondering, I felt the grip of his fingers on my shoulder as he pulled close to me. “Still angry that I took your girl? We both know you can't be that angry. How about we talk it over some beer at the bar in town after our shifts.”I got the memo quickly and knew what to do All I had to do was ignore him and he'd think his friend, Micheal was still angry with him. That was smart.I clenched my fist tightly before

If you enjoyed the chapter, comment. It encourages me to write more.ELLA’S POVRun, Ella. Run.It was the only thing I could do. Waves of heat lunged down my spine as I ran for the door. The groaning sound the two guards I'd just tackled filled the air while I stepped right out of the room.My heart was heavy in my chest. Sweat rolled down my face.I struggled to stay calm. To stop the nerving quivers bracing my back. I couldn't have any of Lucas's men seeing me here. I had to make it back to the McKinney mansion without any of them catching me.But first, I have to find my daughter.Ivy.Oh ivy!Tears stung my eyes. My breath caught in my throat. I tried holding it all in but the urge to drop to my knees and let it all out filled me to the brim. I sniffled, telling myself it'll all be okay again. We'd all be

    AUTHOR'S NOTE: Dear readers, I apologize for the repetition of the previous chapters. I'm working with my editor to get it deleted. I apologize to the affected readers. I promise to make it up to you all. Updates will resume from today.ELLA'S POV Fear gripped my chest as I stayed there. Tied, bound and helplessly vulnerable. The air in the room was filled with tension. Tension from them— the two guards standing by the door. My heart raced in my chest as I had a pulsing headache bracef my scalp.I fiddled almost immediately as a low groan tore through my lips. I tried to move my hands but for a second, it seemed I forgot they were chained and pinned to the back of the chair. As I tried the yank then, a sharp jolt of pain lashed around my wrists as I winced.The tight ropes used to tie my hands were strong and it seemed the more I tried, the tighter they got. Scream after scream, groan after groan, I tried. The knots binding my arms to the back of the chair only grew tighter as the me

    The silence in Lucas’s house always got under my skin, but today it felt like a blade. I moved from room to room, lookingnfor nothing, my heels clicking against marble floors, and the whisper of my own breathing sounded too loud.I was trying to escape that stupid bitch words, but they still didn't leave me. They followed me step by step, room to room.“You hated me because I got everything you wanted so easily. I didn't have to lie or sell myself —” Her voice echoing in my mind as if she was right next to me.That bitch had seen right through me. Right through the skirts and the tailored jackets and the flawless smile. I’d laughed it off at first—of course I’d brush it aside—until I realized how deep that knife had sunk.Deeper than anything had ever stuck me.I still walked aimlessly along the halls, and to my anger and surprise, I felt tears stung my eyes. Furiously, I wiped them off with the back of my hand. What did that birch know about my story. I hadn’t always been this wicke

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER

    Ella’s POVI didn’t know how long we had been driving and I really didn't care. Minutes, hours—it could’ve been an entire day for all I knew.Time had lost meaning to me. Everything outside the window blurred together—trees, signs, shadows, but none of it mattered.I sat in the back seat, my hands tied, feet numb, lips dry. My head rested against the cold glass, and I stared blankly at the road passing by, trying not to let the panic consume me.Ivy.The thought of my daughter's name alone made my chest tighten.Her name was both a comfort and a curse right now.Tears welled in my eyes, but I blinked them away. I couldn’t break down now. I needed to stay awake. Alert. I needed to watch everything, remember every detail.Anything. Just in case I got the chance to escape. Just in case someone asked me later, “What did you see?”The man driving hadn’t said a word since they threw me into the back seat. Lucas was fitted beside me, the filthy smell of him pervading my nose.In the front s
