CAMILLA

The gunshots didn’t stop.

They came one after another, ripping through the silence, shaking the walls, rattling my chest. Each one made me flinch and made my heart hammer like it wanted to escape.

Footsteps pounded outside. Voices shouted. Chaos filled every corner of the room.

I couldn’t move. My body refused. My mind felt frozen, fogged, too small to process it all.

Then the door slammed open.

Monty burst in.

Rico followed, his face twisted in anger. Their calm had vanished. Control w

    CAMILLAThe gunshots didn’t stop.They came one after another, ripping through the silence, shaking the walls, rattling my chest. Each one made me flinch and made my heart hammer like it wanted to escape.Footsteps pounded outside. Voices shouted. Chaos filled every corner of the room.I couldn’t move. My body refused. My mind felt frozen, fogged, too small to process it all.Then the door slammed open.Monty burst in.Rico followed, his face twisted in anger. Their calm had vanished. Control was gone. Panic clung to them, raw and exposed.Monty’s eyes found me immediately.“Fuck,” he muttered, running a hand through his hair.Another shot rang out. Closer. Too close.Rico barked, “What the hell is going on? You said this place was secure!”“It was,” Monty snapped, already moving toward me. “Until it wasn’t. We need to get her out now.”I froze as he dropped to my level. His hands moved fast, cutting and tugging at the ropes.For a moment, I didn’t trust it.Then the ropes loosened.R

    CAMILLA“You disgust me.”The words came out low and steady, but there was nothing weak about them.Gianna didn’t even flinch.She sat comfortably on Monty’s lap, one arm draped around his shoulders like she belonged there—like this was where she had always been meant for him. Like I was the one out of place. Like everything we had ever shared had been nothing but a joke to her.She tilted her head, her lips curling into a slow, mocking smile. “You’re still this naïve?” she asked, almost amused. “God, Camilla… that’s actually embarrassing.”My chest tightened, but I refused to look away. “Gianna… why?”“You’re a fool,” she said bluntly. “You always have been. You just never realized it.”Something inside me snapped—quietly, but completely.“A fool?” I let out a soft, humorless laugh. “For trusting you? Yeah… maybe I was.”Her eyes flickered for a second—but it was gone just as quickly.“You should have been wiser,” she continued, her tone colder now. “I mean, how many times did I have

    AUGUSTThe room had gone quiet days ago, and the silence felt heavy, like something pressing down on my chest every second.I hadn’t moved from the same spot in hours, maybe longer. Time had started to blur into something meaningless.I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the wall like it might give me something. Anything at all.I hadn’t slept properly since she disappeared. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face looking back at me.The way she looked at me that last time stayed with me. It replayed over and over until it stopped feeling like a memory and more like punishment.My phone buzzed again on the table beside me, sharp enough to cut through everything. The sound had become too familiar.I didn’t reach for it immediately because I already knew who it was. Daniel had been calling nonstop, just like everyone else.I dragged my gaze down slowly and stared at the screen. His name flashed again like it refused to give up.For a second, I almost ignored it just to keep t

    CAMILLA“Wake up, bitch.”The slap came hard and fast, snapping my head to the side. Pain exploded across my cheek as my eyes flew open, my breath catching sharply in my throat.For a second, everything spun. Then it settled just enough for me to feel how much my body hurt.A weak breath left me as I forced myself up slightly. The cold floor beneath me didn’t help the dizziness.I swallowed hard and lifted my head. Monty stood over me, his shadow stretching across my body.“Monty…” My voice cracked immediately. “Please… just let me go.”He let out a quiet scoff, like I had just embarrassed myself. There wasn’t even a hint of hesitation in his reaction.“You’re not going anywhere,” he said calmly. “Not until we get what we want.”My stomach twisted painfully. The certainty in his tone made it worse.I stared at him, trying to find something familiar in his face. There was nothing left.“When did you become like this?” I asked, my voice barely steady. “You used to be kind to me.”Monty

    AUGUSTI laughed, but it didn’t sound like me. It came out sharp and wrong, like glass breaking in a quiet room.“Where is Camilla?”The man didn’t even flinch. He stood there calmly, looking at me like I wasn’t worth the effort.“I’ll be damned if I tell you anything.”Something inside me snapped, fast and violent. I lunged forward before I could think.I barely got a step in before hands grabbed me. The guards held me tight, firm, and unyielding.“Let go of me.”They didn’t move. Their grip only tightened as I struggled against them.“Do you even know who you’re holding?” I snapped, my patience already gone.One of them avoided my eyes, while the other stayed completely still. That only made the anger rise faster.My gaze snapped to my grandfather, and the calm look on his face made something darker settle in my chest. It was the kind of calm that made everything worse.“If you’ve done anything to her, I’ll kill you,” I said, my voice low and steady.The threat sat heavy in the air

    AUGUSTThe first punch landed before Conrad even finished turning his head.Bone met bone with a dull, sickening crack, and something in me—tight, coiled, barely contained—finally snapped.“Where the hell is she, you bastard?”I didn’t wait for an answer.My fist connected with his jaw again, harder this time. His head snapped back, his body already sagging from whatever injury he had before I got to him. It didn’t matter.Nothing mattered.Not the blood.Not the fact that he could barely stand.Not the way Daniel was already moving toward me, saying my name like it could reach me.It didn’t.“August—”I hit him again.And again.Each punch felt like it landed too shallow, too soft, like it wasn’t enough to match the noise in my head.Camilla.Taken.Gone.Because he was supposed to be watching her.“Where is she?” I demanded, grabbing his collar, dragging him forward even as his knees threatened to give out. “You had one job.”Conrad tried to speak, something broken and slurred, but
