Maya sat on the edge of the living room couch, her fingers still locked around her phone even after the dreadful video ended. The house buzzed with urgency—officers coming and going, Ron barking orders into his earpiece, and Damian coordinating a tactical response. But her ears were ringing with the image of her babies—tied up, helpless, with death ticking away by the second.

Her phone vibrated again.

Unknown Number.

She answered it immediately. "Hello?!"

A chillingly calm voice responded.

"Hello, Maya. Did you like the video?"

Maya froze. "Lisa…"

"I told you once, didn't I? You took everything from me. Now I'm just returning the favor." Her voice was laced with quiet venom. "You have one hour."

"Where are they? What do you want?!"

"I'll send you the location. Come alone. If I even suspect you've told Damian or the police, I swear to you, I will make you watch what happens when a bomb goes off with your children strapped to it."

Maya's heart stuttered.

  • One Night With Mr. Billionaire    Epilogue ( A year later)

    The clatter of trays echoed through the cold, concrete dining hall. Harsh fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, casting a sickly glow on the crowded rows of prisoners. Amber sat alone at the end of a long table, her shoulders hunched, eyes fixed on the unappetizing food on her tray. She hadn't touched it. She rarely did.A shadow fell over her."Well, well," came a voice dripping with mockery. "If it isn't the queen herself."Amber looked up slowly. Three inmates loomed over her—bigger, rougher, eyes gleaming with the thrill of cruelty. The leader, a tall woman with cropped hair and a twisted grin, leaned closer."Thought you were someone on the outside, huh? Big boss lady?" she hissed. "Now you're just another number."Amber didn't respond. That had become her new strategy—silence. But silence, in prison, was often seen as weakness.The tray was snatched away and flipped. The food splattered across the floor."Oops," the woman sneered. "Clumsy of me."Another woman grabbed Amber by the

    Six months laterThe courtroom was packed, the air heavy with tension and anticipation. Maya sat between Damian and Amanda, her fingers laced tightly in her lap, nerves held in check only by the steady weight of Damian's hand on hers. Ron sat beside them, his expression unreadable, and next to him was Oliver—his arm draped protectively around Amanda, the glint of the engagement ring on her finger catching the light every so often.All of them had been through hell. But today… today was the beginning of closure.Ace and Amber sat in the defendant's box, clad in orange jumpsuits, wrists shackled. Amber's face had hardened, stripped of the arrogance that once defined her. Ace sat still, jaw locked, gaze forward, as if pretending none of this was real.The judge entered, and everyone rose. Silence fell like a stone.After a long recounting of the crimes—kidnapping, torture, conspiracy, attempted murder—the judge looked toward the two with a stern gaze."For the gravity of your crimes, you

    A single gun shot jolted Maya awake. "Dennis…..Amayrah…." She whispered, running towards the sound of the gunshot. She ran toward the sound, boots pounding over concrete, her breath catching in her throat. As she turned the corner, her eyes widened in horror.Amanda was on the floor, blood blooming across her chest in a thick, merciless stain. Her body twitched once—then went still.And standing above her, unshaken and remorseless, was Lisa, the smoking gun still in her hand."Well," Lisa drawled, cocking her head, eyes dark with satisfaction, "the past always finds a way to bleed into the present."Maya stared at Amanda's fallen form, shock and sorrow wrestling in her throat. But then her gaze locked with Lisa's—and it turned to fire.Maya's eyes burned with fury as she stepped toward Lisa, fists clenched at her sides. "You shot her," she seethed. "You really shot your own daughter."Lisa's mouth curled into a cruel smile. "She stopped being mine the moment she chose you."Without

    Maya was dragged across the cold, concrete floor, her body sore and bruised from the relentless beatings. Her mouth was gagged, and her wrists and ankles had been bound so tightly she could barely feel her fingers. Blood trickled from her lip, and her eyes—though swollen—still burned with defiance.But even that flicker began to fade when she saw the large, empty glass tank standing in the center of the warehouse. Clear, tall, and sinister in its stillness, it gleamed beneath the hanging bulbs. Wires trailed from a panel beside it, connected to a rusty water valve and timer system.Ace tightened the ropes around her arms, and Lisa gave a cold nod. "Let's see how long love keeps you alive, Maya."Amber walked ahead and unlocked the glass door. "Inside," she cooed with venomous sweetness.They shoved Maya in roughly, her body collapsing against the cold base of the tank. The door slammed shut behind her, the sound echoing like a tomb sealing. A heavy latch locked it tight. Maya lifted h

    The roar of Damian's car echoed through the estate as he pulled into the driveway, leaping out before the engine fully shut off. His eyes scanned the perimeter—guards stood in formation, two black vehicles sat abandoned with their doors flung open, and four men lay subdued and zip-tied on the gravel. Some of the guards had followed them under Ron's instructions and captured them Ron rushed to meet him. "They didn't breach the house, but they got close. Maya and the kids followed the panic protocol. She's inside."Damian didn't wait for more. He stormed into the house, boots echoing against the marble floor."Maya!" he called.She appeared at the base of the stairs, visibly shaken but unharmed."You're okay," he muttered, pulling her into a tight embrace. He cupped her face, eyes darting over her to confirm it."I'm fine. I got the kids into the safe room." Her voice was shaky now, the adrenaline fading. "They were scared, but I made sure they got inside."Damian nodded and turned sha

    The manila envelope was on his doorstep when Oliver opened the door early that morning. No address. No markings. Just his name scrawled in neat block letters.Inside was a USB drive and a single photograph.The image made his stomach knot—a still frame from a surveillance camera showing Amanda sitting in the garden of the safehouse, speaking with someone whose face was conveniently obscured by a tree. The timestamp aligned with a day when only Ron and Damian had clearance to visit.Beneath the photo was a note:"You're not the only one she talks to."Oliver didn't waste time. He shoved the photo and drive into his coat pocket and sped off.⸻Within the hour, he was standing in Damian's office, the envelope spread across the table as Ron looked on silently.Oliver crossed his arms. "This was on my doorstep. Someone's trying to play with my head. But I thought you should see it."Damian picked up the photo, studied it with a cold gaze, then nodded toward Ron.

    The wind rustled the leaves gently outside Amanda's cottage, but something about the night felt different—charged. Underneath the cover of thick trees and long-forgotten fences, a figure stood still in the shadows, watching the modest structure with unblinking focus.They didn't move. They didn't flinch. Just stared.A faint red dot blinked once from a small device in their hand. Then disappeared as they turned and melted back into the darkness, unseen.⸻Inside, Amanda sat at her kitchen table, sipping lukewarm tea, trying to shake off the uneasy feeling that had wrapped itself around her all evening. She hadn't told Oliver about the letter yet—he had just left after spending the afternoon trying to make her laugh, watching old movies with her and bringing pastries from a nearby bakery.She appreciated his visits. Even when he didn't speak much, his presence made her feel a little safer. A little less haunted.But tonight, safety felt far away.Her phone trembled in her hand as she d
