As we left the warehouse, the silence felt thick, almost foreboding. Harrison’s relief was apparent finally, he thought, he had uncovered the truth of Mr. Blackwood’s lies. But Rachel seemed distant, her gaze fixed somewhere in the darkness.

Then, a low rumble broke the quiet, and headlights cut through the shadows. A sleek black car stopped in our path, and a tall figure stepped out. The tension in Harrison’s face said it all Luca, Mr. Blackwood’s loyal protégé, stood before us. Only now did we know the truth: Luca wasn’t just Blackwood’s tool; he was Harrison’s brother.

Harrison’s expression turned to anger and betrayal. “Luca?” His voice was strained, almost disbelieving. “What are you doing here?”

Luca’s eyes swept over us, a cold smile tugging at his lips. “Finally figured it out, have you? Who you really are, and what Blackwood did?”

Harrison’s fists clenched, the anger in his eyes barely restrained. “I know now, Luca. I know everything. Blackwood killed our parents. He raised m

  • Taken By My Boss   the confrontation

    The weight of Rachel's words hung in the air, thick with an unspoken promise of vengeance. As she clutched the USB stick, her gaze shifted between Harrison and me, fierce and resolute."Tomorrow," Rachel began, her voice low, "we’ll take this to someone who can help us. We need a lawyer who’s not afraid to stand up to someone like Mr. Blackwood."Harrison’s expression was a mixture of relief and anxiety. "Are you sure about this?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper.Rachel nodded, her jaw set. "It’s the only way to end this once and for all." She paused, as if steeling herself for what lay ahead. "I've risked too much to turn back now."The next day, after ensuring Ethan was safely with a trusted friend, we drove to a small law office on the outskirts of town. The attorney, Mr. Collins, was a sharp, no-nonsense man with a reputation for taking down powerful adversaries. After hearing Rachel’s story and examining the evidence, his face tightened with focus."This…this is enough to br

    "How could she?" I whispered, crying. Rachel looked tough. "It's part of Mr. Blackwood's plan," she said. "He wants to control everything and everyone."Harrison looked worried. "But why?" he asked. "Why would he hurt me?" I thought Adrianne was just upset about our canceled wedding.Rachel's face was serious. "It’s not just about the wedding, Harrison," she said quietly. "Mr. Blackwood has been tricking us for a long time. He wants your mansion and your money. Adrianne is just being used by him." I knew this was not the right time to tell him, but I said, "Mr. Blackwood isn't your dad, Harrison; he was your father's close friend."Harrison looked shocked, and Rachel confirmed it. "Your real dad was his best friend. They had a fight, and when he died, Mr. Blackwood took over. He’s been preparing you to take over your properties, and he caused your dad's accident."Harrison felt like everything he knew was wrong. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" he asked softly. "I was scared," Rachel

    What do we do now?" I whispered, feeling utterly lost. "We can't go back to the mansion."Rachel nodded, her expression a mix of determination and fear. "We'll find a place around here," she said. "Somewhere close enough to keep an eye on him, but hidden from Mr. Blackwood's reach."The next day, we set out early, the crisp morning air biting at our cheeks. We drove through winding country roads, searching for a new place to call home. Each house and apartment we passed seemed to hold the promise of a new beginning, a life free from the mansion's dark secrets. But every time Rachel slowed down, my heart raced, fearing we'd be found out.Finally, we stumbled upon a quaint cottage, nestled in a grove of trees just outside of town. It was small, but it had a cozy charm that felt welcoming. Rachel pulled over, and we approached the landlady, a plump woman with a kind smile and a no-nonsense attitude. She took one look at us, huddled together with our suitcases, and her expression softened

  • Taken By My Boss   a desperate escape

    The room spun as Rachel's words hit me. I looked down at Ethan, sleeping peacefully in his crib, unaware of the storm outside. "I can’t leave him," I said, my voice shaky. "Harrison needs to know the truth."Rachel nodded, her expression sad. "I know. But not yet. We need a plan. If Mr. Blackwood finds out you know, he’ll do anything to silence you. We can’t risk it."I took a deep breath, steadying myself. Rachel was right; we had to be careful. "Okay," I whispered. But I wasn’t going to run this time. I would stand by Harrison’s side, and together, we’d face whatever came. Rachel gave me a knowing look.Just as I turned to leave the nursery, I heard it—a gunshot. The sound echoed through the halls, freezing me in place. I clutched Ethan, cradling him close, and bolted from the room, heart pounding.In the sitting room, I saw a horrifying sight—Harrison and two maids lay on the floor, blood pooling around them. The killer was gone. Rachel rushed in and took Ethan from my arms. Kneeli

    With that, he stormed out of the room, slamming the door so hard the frame rattled. I stood there, trembling, my heart racing like a rabbit in a snare."Don't be scared," Harrison murmured, his arms wrapping around me from behind. He pulled me tight against his bare chest, the warmth of his skin a stark contrast to the cold fury that had just filled the room. His voice was steady, a rock in the storm of emotions swirling inside me.The newspaper lay forgotten on the floor, the headline screaming at us from its crumpled pages. It was more than just about Adrianne's family cutting ties; it spoke of a web of deceit and betrayal that stretched far beyond the mansion walls. Rachel's words echoed in my mind: "There's more to this than you know."I bent down to pick up the newspaper, my legs shaking slightly. The room felt suddenly cold without Mr. Blackwood's oppressive presence. As I straightened, the paper rustled, I read through it, the words swimming before my eyes. Adrianne's family ha
