In a dazed, blurry state, Jane could hear voices low and muffled, like they were far away but closing in.
Her body ached. Her limbs were sore, heavy… and she couldn’t move them.
She could feel hands moving all over her skin. Something wasn’t right. Panic started to rise in her chest.
“ Zack don't you think we should fuck her first?” a rough voice muttered nearby.
“No. We orders. Just finish the job. We weren’t told to mess around,” another snapped sharply.
"But she's too sexy for us to waste this chance. No one will know why make use of that hot body. Look at those tits."the first voice trailed off.
Jane’s heart pounded.Her mind screamed for her body to move, to run. but she couldn’t. Her muscles wouldn’t respond, like she was weighed down by something she couldn’t shake off. Her breath hitched as a cold breeze brushed against her skin.
Terror surged through her as she felt a pair of rough hands running over her chest squeezing and pressing her breasts.
She realized she wasn’t fully clothed. Shame and fear hit her like a wave.
Her eyes fluttered open, blurry at first then slowly began to focus. The room was swaying. She was on some kind of boat. It smelled of rust, fuel, and salt. The windows were broken, letting in sharp winds and splashes of seawater. Two men stood in front of her, silhouettes in the dim light. faces cold and unrecognized
One of them was holding a camera.
“Jim don't touch you fool, Mr Anderson just wants us to kill her and her unborn bastards. If autopsy is done and she is found molested both you and I will be done,” the second man zack said firmly. “Mr. Anderson didn’t ask for anything else. We’re not here to make a mess.”
Jane's blood ran cold.
Mr. Anderson… Logan?
Shock snapped through her like lightening. Logan had sent them?
The cool sea breeze and waves that were becoming violent gave her goosebumps as she felt extremely cold. Her hands and feet were tied apart with metallic ropes.
The men had a lecherous lusty leer on their faces as they were looking at the screen of camera in their hands.
Just then one of their phone rang.
"Master Anderson, it's done. Yes, we have the photos. We're finishing her off now. As you instructed, we’ll send you the proof of her dead body shortly."
"Excellent. now feed her to the sharks," came the cold voice on the other end before the call ended.
A cruel smile curved across the woman’s lips as she slowly lowered her phone.
"Jane Anderson… you dared to get in my way," she muttered darkly. "You’ll pay for stealing Logan from me. With your life. Let’s see if you’re still so proud when you're gone." Her eyes lit up with a wicked shine, and she started laughing loudly, full of joy and madness.
After a while, Jane noticed a sharp smell in the air—gasoline. Her eyes followed the sound of splashing, and she saw one of the men pouring fuel along the edges of the old ship.
“So you’re awake, pretty girl?” Jim sneered, walking over to her. “What a shame... someone like you, so soft and beautiful, It's going to end in such an ugly manner, But hey, at least we made use of your time. Wanna see?”
He flipped the screen of a camera toward her.
Jane’s heart dropped. The screen showed her unconscious, naked, with a man beside her. His hands hands roamed over her body, like she had allowed it. It looked staged like she had agreed to it.
Her voice trembled with panic. “Why… why are you doing this to me?”
“Orders from Mr. Logan,” the man replied coldly, his eyes lingering too long on her exposed body. “He wants you gone. Quietly.”
“Please… let me go,” Jane begged, tears welling up. She didn’t care how she looked. She didn’t care about pride. She just wanted to live for her babies.
“I’ll give you ten times what he’s paying,” she pleaded. “Just let me go. Let my children live…”
Zack let out a cruel laugh. “No one outbids Logan Anderson. Not in money. Not in power .”Jane shook as fear wrapped around her chest like ice. Her lips quivered. “Please… I’m begging you…”
Zack smirked. “Sure.”
He lifted a small remote and pressed a button.
Suddenly, pain exploded through Jane’s body. Her limbs shook violently. The metal cuffs around her wrists and ankles weren’t just restraints they were delivering electric shocks. Her scream caught in her throat as her body trembled in agony.
Her scream caught in her throat. Her body shook uncontrollably, her muscles locking tight as waves of electricity surged through her. Her eyes rolled back, and her breath came in gasps.
“Hel…p…” she barely managed to whisper.
'Logan Smith... you're a monster,' her mind screamed in silent agony. 'Your children are still inside me, and you want us all dead? Loving you was my biggest mistake. If I live, I’ll make you pay. And if I die... I’ll haunt you until your last breath.'
Her heart was burning with rage, betrayal, and heartbreak.
Then, just as her body began to collapse from the pain, the current stopped. She slumped forward, barely breathing, her limbs heavy. For a second, she thought it was over.
But then Zach smirked and her blood ran cold.
“There’s more, sweetheart,” he said, pressing another button.
*Clunk!*
The metal floor groaned as a hidden panel slid open, revealing the raging sea below. Cold wind whipped against her skin. Her eyes widened in terror. She couldn't scream, couldn't move only her eyes flashed with panic.
"Zack she's going to die no one will find out about her let me fuck her pussy. Look she is dripping already," Jim said. His cold eyes ran over Jane's trembling body.
“Shut up you fool! She is wet because of the waves, get your ass off from here and go do what you are supposed to do” Zack muttered, stepping closer.
Jim left unwillingly, Zack looked at Jane his eyes rested on her breasts, then below.
'he is right though, it's a waste if nothing is done with you'
He grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him and smashed his lips violently against her limp mouth.
She felt sick to her core, like every part of her had been stained. What had she done to deserve this? Was loving the wrong man her only crime? Marrying Logan… that was the worst decision of her life.
'Logan, you heartless monster!
One day, I’ll return and make you pay for this pain and shame. I’m carrying your children, and yet you chose to destroy me. I swear whether I live or die you won’t escape what you’ve done.' she swore.
Zack hands ran over her smooth skin down south, she panicked when she realized what he was going to do.
"Mmmmm. Nooo" she tried to open her captured mouth.
The man touched her pussy.
With all the strength she had left, Jane lifted her leg and kicked him hard in the stomach.
Jake stumbled back with a snarl. “You slut! I'll teach you a lesson—”
He slammed his hand on the button.
*Click!*
The restraints released. Jane screamed as the floor beneath her gave way, and she dropped straight into the freezing ocean.
The icy water hit her like a wall. Her lungs burned as she tried to scream, but the sea swallowed her whole. Her body was too weak.
Logan… my babies… I’m sorry…
She struggled to stay above the surface, her arms weak, her body trembling. The freezing waves crashed over her again and again, stealing her breath, pulling her down. Behind her, the lights of the ship grew smaller, fading like the last bit of hope.
But her hands never left her stomach.
She clutched it tightly, protectively, as if shielding the tiny lives inside her from the cold, from the fear… from death itself.
Through her shivering lips, she whispered, “Hold on, my babies… Mama’s still here… I won’t let go… not yet.”
Her strength was nearly gone. Her eyes started to close, her body sinking. Everything was going dark.
Then, just before she slipped under, she saw a figure diving into the water.
someone was coming for her.
And then, everything faded.
The next morning, Jane had just settled at her desk in the project department when Ethan Underwood appeared. “Come on, there’s a meeting,” he said casually.“A meeting this early?” Jane muttered, a little surprised. Still, she grabbed her pen and notebook and followed him without much thought.When they stepped into the conference room, she instantly noticed Logan seated at the head of the table. Her brows drew together slightly, but she said nothing.The manager welcomed everyone, then turned to Jane. “Mr. Logan has extended a rare opportunity to Jane. Go ahead and share your proposal.”Jane didn’t know what Logan was planning, and she didn’t expect much from this meeting. But she calmly presented the revised version of her project.As she explained, the room grew quiet. People listened carefully, their brows furrowed—not out of confusion, but curiosity. The structure was different from the previous proposal.Logan, flipping through the pages, finally spoke. “If I recall, this versio
Jane stepped into the house, the warm smell of home-cooked food already filling the air.As she closed the door, little footsteps ran toward her. “Mom! You’re back!” Clara called out excitedly.Jane opened her arms, ready for a hugnbut Clara came to a sudden stop, squinting at her instead.“Mom... what are you wearing? That outfit is a crime against fashion.”Jane blinked. “Wow. Thanks, sweetie.”Honestly, it made sense why Clara’s fashion sense had grown so fast she’d been styling her mom since she could talk.“I think you look amazing,” Benjamin said as he walked over, his face full of admiration.Clara gave him a look like he’d just said the sky was green. “You’re a straight guy. Your opinion doesn’t count.”Benjamin opened his mouth to reply, then closed it. He knew better.“I think she looks great too!” Liam added with a grin.“Fair skin, pretty face, long legs totally star material,” Bryan chimed in.Clara threw up her hands. “Ugh! That’s three straight guys now. Someone save me
Meanwhile, Vanessa had hired a private team to dig into Jane’s life overseas. But after weeks of searching, they had nothing to show."You're telling me you found nothing?" Vanessa asked, her voice sharp with disbelief."We’re just as surprised, Ms. Young," the investigator replied. "With our level of access, we should’ve uncovered every detail by now unless, of course, someone intentionally wiped her records."Vanessa narrowed her eyes. She didn’t believe Jane had that kind of influence. Still, something about this wasn’t adding up."Are you trying to stall and squeeze more money out of me with this excuse?""Respectfully, Ms. Young, we’ve worked together for years. When we need a higher fee, we ask straight. We don’t play games," the voice on the line answered calmly.Vanessa thought for a moment. Fair enough."If you can't dig up her past, then start with the people around her. I want everything friends, colleagues, anyone she’s interacted with.""...Understood. About the payment—"
*Night* Logan jolted awake, heart pounding from a nightmare.In his dream, Jane was covered in blood, waving at him as she drifted farther and farther away into the darkness.He sat up, forehead damp with sweat, and ran a hand through his hair. The room felt suffocating. He got out of bed and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Outside, the moon hung high, surrounded by a sea of stars. He lit a cigarette, its glow casting fleeting shadows across his tired face.It had been six years, but the regret never left.Back then, after their divorce, the nanny had found a small leather-bound journal hidden in Jane’s vanity drawer. Without saying a word, she had handed it to him.Logan never opened it.Maybe he was scared of what he’d read — scared to confront the truth of how she’d felt. So, he locked it away in his bedroom safe, untouched all these years.But tonight... after that dream, something shifted.He walked over to the built-in wall safe, entered the code, and pulled out the jou
The meeting lasted about twenty minutes.Finally, Manager Kim turned to Logan. “Mr. Anderson, what do you think?”But Logan didn’t respond. He hadn’t said a word since Jane’s presentation, his eyes distant, thoughts clearly elsewhere.Vanessa cleared her throat and spoke on his behalf. “Manager Kim, the proposal is impressive, but we need to discuss it further internally. Once a decision is made, we’ll get back to you.”Though slightly anxious, Manager Kim nodded politely. “Of course. Our new project lead was the one who solved the core issue. But if Mr. Anderson or your company have additional requirements, we’ll be happy to accommodate.”Vanessa gave a polite smile and began gathering her documents. “Logan, let’s go.”Logan stood, following her toward the door—but just as he reached it, he suddenly stopped and turned around.His gaze locked on Jane.“What’s your name?” he asked, voice low and unreadable.The entire room froze. Heads turned toward Jane in stunned silence.Jane, caugh
"No wonder the manager is so serious. With a client like that, we won’t have to worry about this year’s performance!""Did you see Mr. Anderson? He’s so handsome! And isn’t that woman with him his rumored fiancée?""Seems like it. She’s stunning. How do these people look even better in person than in photos?""Money, of course.""Sigh, we’ll never understand the world of the rich."Jane vaguely heard the whispers outside. If only they knew he was a demon, would they still be so excited?Her eyes shifted to Andrew Smith he was sitting upright, visibly more serious than the others.Just then, someone entered the room. "Jane Adler, the manager wants you and your team in the conference room."Andrew immediately stood and walked out with three others. As he passed Jane, he paused and said coldly, "Remember what I told you. Don’t interrupt.""I’m the head of the project. I speak when I’m supposed to," Jane replied with a calm smile.Andrew was caught off guard by her composure, but said not
