CECILIA’S POV

“Mummy, where are we going now?” Alex inquired from my side.

I looked down at my son and forced a smile onto my face.

The train rattled beneath us as it sped forward, carrying us farther and farther away from Jude.

At least, that was what I hoped.

My heart still hadn’t stopped pounding since we escaped the penthouse.

“We’re going somewhere safe.” I told him softly.

Alex didn’t look convinced.

Neither did Allison.

The twins sat on either side of me while Mae occupied the seat opp

    The paramedics moved quickly.Jude walked beside the stretcher as they rushed Cecilia through the hospital entrance. Blood still stained his hands and shirt. Though he barely noticed.“Sir, please step back.”One of the nurses blocked his path as they pushed Cecilia through another set of doors.Jude didn’t move.“She needs surgery immediately.” Another doctor said.“Then do it.” He replied gruffly.The doctors exchanged looks. “We need authorization.”“You have it.”“We also need—”“You have everything.”Jude pulled out his phone.Within minutes hospital administrators were rushing downstairs.The best surgeons in the building were called in. Operating rooms were cleared. Specialists were brought in.Jude was willing to pay all the money in the world as long as it meant Cecilia’s eyes opened. She disappeared behind the operating room doors, and he suddenly felt helpless. Unable to do anything further, except to wait. Hours passed.Jude sat outside the operating room.Mae sat opposi

    Jude sped up his car. Roman communicated with him through his in-ears. They were scouring the city all morning, and afternoon.Jude drove around himself, following the trail of where cameras had last picked up Cecilia.The traffic light showed red, and he stopped. While waiting, he realised there was training station nearby. He had asked Roman to get access to all camera footage of the city in the penthouse’ perimeter. From the traffic videos, there was no trace of them.His intuition told him to go to the station. They hadn’t tracked there. So Jude parked his car, and called Roman.“Bring my men to the central train station. I’m heading downtown.”He ended the call, ans thought, if a woman wanted to run away, she would definitely take the furthest stop away from the city.And so, that was where he went. ***Jude stepped off the train and immediately knew something was wrong.The station platform was crowded, but nobody was acting normally. People were rushing in one direction. S

She was keeping an eye on everyone entering and leaving the train carriage.Even now, she didn’t look relaxed.To be honest, neither did I.The escape had happened so quickly that it almost felt unreal.Just a few hours ago, we’d still been trapped inside Jude’s heavily guarded penthouse.Now we were halfway across the city.I glanced out the train window. Buildings flashed past. People living ordinary lives.I envied them. I envied how simple their lives looked. Because mine felt li

    Jude sat at the head of the table, looking at the heads of the inner circle.“So Rick brought pack your little obsession?” Ernest asked after they finished discussing how to distribute their weapons that just landed.“What?” Jude narrowed his eyes at the man, before turning to Rick.Rick put his hands up defensively. “I didn’t call her that. Your wide did.”“What?” Jude didn’t understand, but was ready to pounce on someone. “You’ve been in contact with my wife?”“Of course not.” Jack grumbled “But your wife sure has been in contact with the media.”Jude didn’t understand, and was about to ring up Roman, when Samson silently pulled out a tablet, and slid it over to Jude.On the screen was Brittany, his ex-wife. She seemed to be on some interview, and dabbed gently at her eyes. She was spilling crocodile tears and sprouting lies.“He refused treatment. He refused help and continued to be obsessed with the woman.”Jude wanted to put his fist through the tablet.Instead, he calmly slid it

    Almost like it were an epiphany, I came to understand something simple.I couldn’t guarantee that Jude would let me go. Or let Mae, or the kids leave her safely.We had to run away. Just then someone knocked, to which Jude gave permission and the door opened. Roman stepped inside.His expression immediately soured when he saw me. The feeling was mutual."Sir.""What?"“The inner circle meeting is about to start.”Jude nodded. “Prepare the car, I’ll be there in a minute.”Roman complied, and exited with one more glare at me. When he shut the door, I turned to Jude. "What happens now?"He looked me up and down before saying. "You stay here.""No.” I couldn’t just be caged here in his penthouse!"Yes.""No.""Just try and escape, the security here is ironclad."I rubbed my forehead. It wouldn’t be easy to slip out now. "I want my freedom." I said, trying the gentle approach. His gaze softened for a second. He looked vulnerable in the little moment as he responded. "So did I."The wo

    Of all the things I expected him to say, that wasn’t one of them.“What?”A dark smile appeared on his face, and he seemed to revel in my shock. “Brittany’s family has been a nuisance to me and my circle for quite a while.”I’m able to regain my bearings. “Okay. But what does that have to do with me? If you and your powerful group of friends find it hard to take them down, what can I possibly do?”He was silent, looking at me with an intensity that made me uncomfortable, before he said. He was silent for a few seconds, looking at me with an intensity that made me uncomfortable, before he said. "First of all the inner circle are not my friends."“Right.”He went on. “And you’re a witness to take Brittany to court.”If not from the seriousness on his face, I would have laughed thinking he was joking.“Really? People like you go to court?”He rolled his eyes. “I got married in court.”“Mhhm. So that you’re reason for uprooting my life and bringing me here?”He clenched his jaw, starin
