LOGINJulian’s POVI met Jasper at the front of the warehouse. I was tired of exchanging his greeting. “You look furious. What is this actual problem with you?” Jasper posed a query. I sighed out before saying a word. “It's nothing; I will probably come over soon,” I replied.“You don't look like you are going to come over it. Your healing process would really take a long time. I saw you inside the interrogation room, and with your reactions now, I think that whatever was discussed there must have a thing to do with your reactions now. So what exactly is the matter with you?” Jasper demanded. “I just told you, I'm fine,” I said. “But you don't look like you are,” Jasper interrupted. “Are you going to discuss it with me, or would you rather allow me to leave you to die with it? I actually don't know what's always wrong with you. Each time you are being questioned by me, you would always hide it. Yet you expect me to work with you diligently? How am I sure you aren't even plotting bad aga
Emilia’s POVI was struck down to the floor trying to regain consciousness. I stayed in that same position comfortably. It was obvious that this might actually be my end. I already saw that I wouldn't give up until the very end; even if it's going to take my life, I can't spare all those achievements for Theodore. The lady was dressed in a blue striped gown. She was average in height. I couldn't see her face clearly because it was covered with a black scarf. Assume that she was probably going to be someone I know who is actually plotting with Theodore against me. “I'm not sure, but it seems to me like we have met before,” I muttered. The lady and Theodore stared at each other almost at the same time. “I'm lost here; who are you really referring to, me or him?” she questioned. “It is obvious that you already know the answer to that question; stop acting silly,” I responded. “Actually, I am sick and tired of all this drama. You are actually courageous; you are genuinely putting
Emilia’s POVI had lost track of time.Inside that dark cell, there was no difference between morning and night anymore. Theodore had done this to me.Even now, I still struggled to fully accept it.Every time I closed my eyes, I remembered the version of him I once trusted.I sat quietly on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the floor when the sound of heavy footsteps echoed outside the cell again.My body immediately tensed.The guards stopped in front of my door.One of them unlocked it roughly.“Get up.”I didn’t move immediately.“I said get up!”Before I could react, one of them grabbed my arm harshly and yanked me upward. Pain shot through my shoulder, but I refused to give them the satisfaction of hearing me cry out.They dragged me down the dim hallway again. Then I saw him.Theodore stood near the large table in the interrogation room, dressed neatly in a black suit like he wasn’t the devil responsible for ruining my life.His expression remained calm when our eyes met.
Julian’s POVI had never felt this helpless before.Knowing she was locked up somewhere while I stood outside unable to reach her, it was tearing me apart piece by piece.“This makes no sense,” Jasper muttered as he slammed the car door shut. “None of this adds up.”I gritted my teeth and stared at the massive SWAT headquarters building in front of us. We had been there since morning, trying every possible means to get access to Emilia, but the officers kept shutting us out.No visitation. No interrogation access.It was as though Emilia had vanished into thin air.I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration before marching toward the entrance again. Jasper cursed under his breath and followed behind me.The officer at the front desk immediately stiffened the moment he saw us approaching again.“I already told you…”“I want to see her,” I snapped coldly. “Right now.”“Sir, you don’t understand…”“No,” I cut him off sharply. “You don’t understand. Emilia Laurent is being held here
Cassandra's POV The whole situation got me furious. At that point I was curious to meet with him. I needed to get things clear and be on the safe side. I left home and drove to his territory. It was time to talk things out, so I had no fear in me to do so. “What is going on? Aren't you even seeing the pressure coming towards you?” I question him. “What exactly do you mean by that? Please be straight with your words,” he responded. “Obviously, you don't even know anything about your actions. You are acting blindly without seeing the risk and the disadvantages coming out of it. And washing everything, you are actually keeping me in the dark. I would rather not be on the negative side of victory, so please act wisely.” I muttered. “Not everything should be told, you know? I know exactly what I am doing, and I don't need anyone's advice to take out my plan. I can see that you are already pulling too much weight, and you should be demoted instantly,” he replied. “All this you are doi
EMILIA'S POVI was brought again in front of Theodore; I knew this wasn't going to be easy on me, but I had to face all the pain alone. I understood the greed Theodore has towards me. All this time I didn't suspect his actions, but now I can see the envy he has always possessed all this while. “You are really suffering, and it's obvious that this suffering is really taking you down. I am genuinely sorry I can't help you easily just as you want it. The easy way is here for you, but you choose to make it hard. It's simple to just accept, okay? You don't have to be this stubborn,” Theodore said. “Are you really hearing yourself just now? You actually expect me to give you everything I have worked all my life for, right?” I questioned, and he nodded in agreement. “And you are actually proud of everything you are saying right now to me, right?” I questioned him again. “Of course, why won't I be?” he said, smiling. “Aren't you even ashamed of yourself right now? You are making everythin
