The room seemed to shrink around me.

Every breath felt tighter.

Every second heavier.

Because suddenly, this wasn’t just about me anymore.

It was about Zane.

About what he would do.

What he would risk.

What he would destroy.

And deep down...

I knew one thing with terrifying certainty.

Zane wasn’t the type of man to negotiate.

He was the type to retaliate.

And when he did…

There would be consequences.

Deadly ones.

The man straightened, stepping back toward the door.

As if our conversation had al

    The next morning, I woke before Zane.Sleep had been elusive.Not because the bed was uncomfortable.Not because I was afraid.But because every time I closed my eyes, my dreams betrayed me.Sometimes I dreamed of Zane finding me.His arms around me.His voice telling me I was safe.Other times...I dreamed of Alex.The dreams never made sense.His face would appear without warning, his piercing eyes holding mine across a room that didn't exist. Sometimes he was my captor. Sometimes he simply stood there, watching me with that unreadable expression that seemed to challenge everything I thought I understood about him.Each time I woke, guilt settled a little deeper inside my chest.I hated it.I hated myself for it.I loved Zane.I knew I did.So why...Why wouldn't my mind let Alex go?Beside me, Zane stirred.He reached for me instinctively, his arm slipping around my waist before his eyes were even fully open."Morning," he murmured, his voice rough with sleep."Morning."He kissed

    I returned home with Zane.Home.The word felt unreal after everything that had happened.As the gates of the estate slowly opened, I stared out the window, watching the familiar driveway come into view. The fountains. The manicured hedges. The grand entrance that had once intimidated me.Now, it felt like sanctuary.I hadn't realized how much I had missed this place until I saw it again.Or perhaps...It wasn't the house I had missed.It was him.Zane parked the SUV in front of the entrance before coming around to open my door himself.His hand immediately found mine.Warm.Steady.Protective."I've got you," he said quietly.I nodded, unable to find my voice.The front door opened before we even reached it.Several members of his organization were already waiting.The older man who had once conducted my loyalty test stepped forward first.His usually stern expression softened."Welcome home."I managed a small smile."Thank you."One after another, the others greeted me.Some with n

    One fateful evening, a gunshot shattered the silence.It wasn't distant.It wasn't muffled.It exploded so close to the room that the windows trembled violently, rattling against their frames.I jerked upright from the armchair where I had been reading, my heart slamming painfully against my ribs.Another gunshot.Then three more.Rapid.Precise.Followed by screaming.Male voices echoed through the compound."INTRUDERS!""TAKE POSITIONS!""GET TO THE EAST WING!"My entire body froze.No...My pulse quickened.No...Another deafening explosion rocked the building, this time strong enough to knock a framed painting from the wall.It crashed onto the floor, glass scattering everywhere.My breathing became shallow.Only one man would dare attack a heavily guarded compound like this.Only one.Zane Wilde.Tears burned my eyes before I even realized they had formed.He's here.He came.He actually came.For the first time since my capture, hope wasn't just something I imagined.It had arri

    Alex's room was nothing like the dark cell.It was spacious.Clean.Almost elegant.Dark oak furniture lined the walls, while a large window overlooked the sprawling compound outside. Thick curtains framed the glass, and a king-sized bed dominated the center of the room. A bookshelf occupied one corner, and a heavy mahogany desk sat near the window, scattered with maps, folders, and what looked like encrypted radios.The contrast unsettled me.Only an hour ago, I had been locked in a room barely large enough to stretch my legs.Now...I was standing inside what looked like a guest suite.Or a prison with softer walls.The guard who escorted me inside untied the rope around my wrists."The boss said you're staying here now."Without another word, he walked out.The door clicked shut.Not locked.Just closed.I stared at it for several long seconds before slowly turning around.Alex stood near the window, one hand tucked into his pocket, the other holding a glass of whiskey.His sharp e

    The air between us felt dangerously thin.“You’re playing a risky game,” Alex said quietly.His voice had lowered.Roughened slightly.I swallowed carefully, forcing confidence I didn’t entirely feel.“Maybe I learned from the people around me.”His eyes searched mine intensely.Like he was trying to decide whether this was manipulation…Or desperation.Maybe it was both.“You think seducing me will save you?” he asked.“I think everyone wants something.”“And you think you can give me mine.”The way he said it sent heat crawling up my spine despite the situation.Because there was no denying it now.He wanted me.The realization was terrifying.But useful.I stood slowly from the mattress, careful not to move too suddenly.His eyes tracked every movement.Every inch.The room suddenly felt far too small for both of us.“I don’t want to die here, Alex,” I said softly.Something flickered in his expression at the honesty in my voice.Real emotion this time.Not manipulation.Fear.He n

    A chill crawled down my spine.I already knew where this was heading before he even said it.He crouched slightly until we were eye level again.And this time, there was no amusement in his face.Only intent.“Tell me about Zane Wilde’s operations.”My stomach twisted instantly.“No.”The refusal came automatically.Immediate.His expression remained unreadable.“You should think carefully before answering.”“I already did.”A flicker of irritation crossed his face.“You’re loyal to a man who discarded you.”“He didn’t discard me.”Even now, some stubborn part of me defended him instinctively.Pathetic.The captor seemed to think so too.“Didn’t he?” he asked quietly.I looked away.Because suddenly…I didn’t know.The room fell silent again.Then he spoke once more, voice calmer now.“You know things.”“I handle schedules.”“You rerouted shipments.”My breath caught.His eyes locked onto mine instantly.“There it is,” he murmured.Fear slid down my spine.How much did they know?How
