Amelia Fallon is an accomplished woman and one aiming to marry her childhood crush and fiancé. She had everything planned out but doesn’t expect that her fiancé has some perverted pleasures or it would send her running into the arms of a certain billionaire, Jackson Logan. When they spend the night together and Amelia disappear, Jackson vows to find her by whatever means necessary
View MoreAmelia scolded herself for the hundredth time, glancing around and sipping the fruit juice she had gotten from the bar as she sat waiting on her fiancé.
He had no idea that she was here of course or she had seen the flyer about this place in one of his suit pocket as she took his clothes to be dry cleaned.It was a new club and they were having an opening ceremony to mark its creation.Amelia flipped the flyer out of her bag for the second time since she saw it and read it carefully, her eyes scanning the name and the time it was slated to be open. It would seem that she was here early because the time of the flyer was said 9pm but it was already ten and there wasn’t much going on.Am I in the right place? She thought flipping the paper in her hand backwards.She continued sipping the fanciful juice at the bar, hoping she spotted him before it finished and she had to get another just so she did not look like the odd one out.“Are you okay?” A voice asked, jolting her out of her musings.She turned, her eyes meeting the bartender who had attended to her.“I am fine, just waiting for someone” she smiled, embarrassed.He stopped moving and then leaned forward so he was invading her personal space; she could smell the whiff of his spray and wondered if it was proper for a bartender to be so close to the customer. The club sure was already on a zero rating in her books and the real fun hadn’t even started.“You are in the wrong place and chances are that whoever you are looking for has gone in already for the real fun” he grinned, pointing his finger to the ceiling.Amelia followed his hand, her mouth agape as she finally saw where the real party was happening, above her. The transparent ceiling showed so many feet moving to the rhythm of some music she could not hear from where she sat“Thank you” she muttered, jumping to her feet and reaching for her bag.She contemplated downing the last of the juice but decided against it, she was embarrassed enough and did not want to make a fool of herself but she also wasn’t one to ever waste anything.“You don’t have to thank me, you are not the first person that this has happened to tonight; have fun” the bartender smiled, breezing away.Amelia decided to leave the drink, it did not matter and she was here for her fiancé. They had to talk about his late nights which were obviously spent partying rather than coming home to her or doing something productive.She and Ethan had been together for as long as she could remember and it was bliss that they were about to get married. As soon as they made enough money for the trust they had set up for the two children they were planning to have then there was nothing stopping them from finally being together in truth.Not like they did not already live and went to work together. The firm they worked in had employed both of them at the same time not knowing that they knew each other and they had decided to keep it that way. While Ethan had been employed as an accountant and responsible for the funds going in and out of the firm; she had settled for being the personal assistant to the manager.Amelia climbed the stairs, her heart thudding furiously in her chest and her bag clutched like it was her defense against the unknown that she was about to face.The door opened automatically after scanning her features and she was handed a veil and directed to cover her face with it, which she did.She struggled against the throngs of bodies merged together and dancing to the music blasting from the speakers all the while wondering how exactly she was going to see her fiancé in the mess that was human flesh everywhere.Amelia continued walking and straight to another door which opened up to a very serene room. She saw that the veil she had been handed was for this room and the faces of every patron was covered so they were not recognizable.She remained standing, not knowing what to do and where to begin her search for Ethan. Her eyes immediately caught on a movement in the corner and she was inexplicably drawn to it partly because of the throng of veiled people standing around moving in some very fetish fashion.She made her way to the front after series of pushing and her jaw dropped because right there in the middle of the crowd was Ethan on his back, naked and his eyes closed in ecstasy as he groaned and moaned, palming the breasts of the lady who was on top of him.Amelia suddenly became aware of the grunts and pants coming from the people watching as her fiancé and the strange woman continued fucking and making erotic sounds.She stepped back, pushing against the crowd until she was away and with her eyes blurring over with tears, she ran straight to the door and out in the loud crowd from earlier.She tore the veil from her face, willing herself to breathe and stay calm while she tried locating the door she had come in from.Her bag remained clutched to her chest and her legs trembling as she pushed and shoved, trying to escape the horror of watching her fiancée fucking another woman and quite comfortable with people watching them at it.Amelia finally located the door when it opened to admit another patron and she flew out of it, not stopping to glance back. She took the stairs two at a time, her eyes trying to get accustomed to the darkness and failing.She had not come with her glasses and had also forgotten to put in her medicated lens so at the moment she was running blind away from whatever it was she had stumbled upon.Talk about stumbling; Amelia missed a step in her flight and tripped, the agonizing sound of her ankle giving way as she stumbled down the stairs. She was caught however by strong arms, wrapping around her waist and righting her in an instant against strong body.“I am… so sorry; I did not see you, it is so very dark and I did not…” She sputtered, trying to explain and also trying to prevent the onslaught of tears that was threatening to break free.“Are you alright?” the stranger spoke with the calmest voice she had ever heard in her life.Amelia’s eyes shot up to his face, the tears blurring her vision as she tried to make out the features of his face.“No, I think I sprained my ankle” she admitted, sniffling pitifully.“Let me help you” the stranger said, this time lifting Amelia into his arms like she was a rag doll that he had broken.Amelia allowed him carry her, her arms wrapping around his neck as she sniffled into the curve of his shoulder.CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWELVE“He sent an address… we have to go” Jackson declared, reaching for the gun on the table.Liam and Simon got up with him wondering what the fuck he was on about “What are you talking about?” Liam asked“I was on the phone with Damien, he wants us to meet. Just me and I know it is a trap but there is no way I am going to allow him make good on his threat of sending me Amelia in pieces”“We cannot… I understand what you are saying but we cannot go there alone” Simon told himIt was the first time he and Liam were agreeing on anything “You are right, we aren’t going there alone… I am going on my own. I cannot let anything happen to her”“Nothing will but we have to figure this all out , come up with a plan. We are going to his own turf and he might as well kill the both of you.” Simon argued“He is right” Liam muttered. “We are going to go in with a plan, Jackson if we are going to have any chance of reaching the both of you alive.”Liam made a couple of phone
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND ELEVENDamien stared at the television in front of him, his teeth grating against themselves as he watched the news. It would seem that the man he had asked to do a good job of keeping Jackson off his scent was doing a rather poor one because why the hell was his picture in the fucking news.The fucker had put a bounty on my head, Damien thought as he stared incredulously as the voice of the news presenter droned on. He was hot topic at the moment and he did not need that for his business. It would seem that he had underestimated Jackson. He wasn’t going to let him go scot free; it only meant that he had to kill the guy and the one way to do that was to lure him here to his own tuff.It was going to be easy once he dangled Amelia in front of him like a fucking worm on a hook. He knew the man would come running because he loved her.Damien laughed at this; he was going to enjoy killing Jackson and it was one way to take Amelia if he did it in front of her. She had
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TEN“How could I have let this happen?” Jackson asked for the hundredth time, beating his hand on his thigh.He had contacted the cops about the kidnap and although Liam had spoken to one of them, he had sounded super vague which Jackson found suspicious“You could not have known what kind of asshole he was, Jackson. It is not your fault and the only thing we can do now is figure out a way to make sure we rescue her unharmed.” Liam told himThey were sitting at the table in a bunch with Natalie supplying snacks as they plotted. She had come along with Simon whom Liam still had not taken a shining to but she had said they had been together when he called so she could not refuse when he asked to accompany her.He wasn’t saying anything but he looked contrite as they tried to figure out what was going on and Jackson could not deny that he needed all hands on deck if he was ever going to see Amelia again.“I don’t think the detective is telling us everything we should
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINEDamien opened the car door and helped Amelia out who was still unbelievably silent even after all he had told her about Jackson and how he was going to make sure he wiped the bastard from this earth for daring to touch her.She had grown he had to give her that but she had to be aware that he was no longer the man she used to know. The one that tolerated indiscipline and had allowed her enjoy her years while she was running from him.He guessed he had Jackson to thank for making that open proposal. It has made him see his baby again and realized how much he wanted her back for himself.Oh, the things he planned to teach her and make her do to him. By the time he was done, she would never think of fleeing again.He escorted her into the house and straight for the den where he pushed her inside. She collapsed unto the floor, her eyes widening as they happened upon a portrait of her on the wall.He had had it made on the night he had seen the proposal by Jackson
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHTAmelia remained silent as the car moved, her head buzzing with thoughts and my mind far away. She was unexpectedly calmer than she had thought she would be and she made no move even as Damien touched a hand to her thigh, grinning at her.She had no idea where they were headed and tried to regulate her breathing as much as possible so she did not behind panicking.She knew by now that Jackson would be aware of what had happened and would come for her. She only hoped it wasn’t too late.“You have been specially quiet; aren’t you going to rave and ask me questions?” Damien questioned herHe was surprised at her level of calmness; nay, he was disgusted by it.He wanted her to scream and he wanted to enjoy the terror in her eyes but she wasn’t giving him the satisfaction he craved.She was nothing like the fiery girl he used to know who would scream and curse even as he hit he countlessly.“I promised to do whatever you want; do you want me to ask you questions?”
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVENAnna could the loud screams that was hers as she watched the car drive away with Amelia.Her heart pounded violently against her chest as she clutched the phone, her trembling fingers struggling to dial the numbers. Fear and panic gripped her as she attempted to call Liam. She was finding it hard to breathe and unable to form coherent thoughts as she waited for him to pick up “God please” she muttered to herself.She wasn’t much of a prayer person but at the moment, she hoped Amelia would be safe and they find her before Damien did something to her or worse killed her.The phone rang once, twice, and on the third ring, Liam's voice finally filled the line. "Hey, Anna, what's up?" he asked casually, unaware of the turmoil brewing on the other end.Anna's breath hitched, her voice barely a whisper, "L-Liam, it's Amelia. She's... she has been kidnapped. Damien came and he… oh my God, I am sorry for leaving her all alone in the house but I had to. I don’t know
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SIX“You don’t have to keep watch over me like a hawk, Anna. I will be fine and you did say that the meeting is quite important for work; do not let me be the one to keep you here” Amelia declared“I know you will be fine on your own but I still think I should stay back and maybe reschedule the meeting for…”“For when? Whenever Damien is not chasing after me? Don’t think about doing that and just go for your meeting. I will be fine and he has absolutely no idea that I am here so what could go wrong” she interrupted“Fine, I will be back in a jiffy so don’t go anywhere” Anna warned, taking the stairs in twos so she could prepare for the meeting.It was impromptu but it was important and although she wanted to stay home to watch over Amelia, she also had to consider her job and it is as Amelia had said. Damien had no idea where she was and even if he was looking for her, he would have eyes on either her house or Jackson’s and definitely not hersShe soon was ready an
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIVE“I need all the information you can get on him” Jackson told Liam when they were alone.“I have already done some digging on him. I started looking into his operations, and it wasn't easy. He is elusive, leaving no traces behind, but I managed to uncover some crucial information."Jackson's eyes widened with surprise. "You investigated Damien already? Why didn't you tell me?" he asked“Of course I investigated him; how would you think I would after hearing all he had to say that evening. I needed to know what we were up against and how best to address the situation” Liam told him“So? What are we up against?” Jackson questioned. “What did you find out?” His curiosity now piquedLiam leaned forward, his voice hushed.“His full name is Damien Lodge and he is a well known drug dealer. It wasn’t hard getting information on him because he is wanted in about nineteen states for different crimes and no one has been able to pin him to any of the crimes. His empire is
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FOUR“You look really sick, Amelia. Is there anything I can get you?” Anna asked as she opened the door to her friend’s room who had not come out in days “I don’t need anything; thank you for asking” Amelia muttered, her eyes drowsing from sleeping too much “I know you don’t but is there not a way or anything I can do to get you out of that bed? You have been like this for days and it is scaring me; when was the last time you had a fucking bath” She questioned, her eyebrows shooting up in concern.Amelia groaned. She did not want to talk about what was bothering her, only that she wanted to be left alone to her misery and fears but if there was one person who would understand seeing as she had accommodated her when she had run out on Damien then it was going to be Anna.Amelia could see that she was waiting for an explanation or a lifeline but she did not know how exactly to begin talking about it without falling apart and she wanted no one to tell her she was e
