Taken by my stepfathers The Lockdown
Daniel’s POVThe silent alarm on my phone didn't just vibrate; it felt like a thermal spike against my thigh. It was the proximity alert tied to Eden’s biometric tracker, triggered by a sudden, sustained spike in her heart rate. She was at the restaurant—the one place I allowed her a tether of freedom, but the data streaming to my screen told a story of pure, systemic terror.I didn't call her. I called Silas."She’s been breached," I said, my voice dropping into that cold, empty place I reserved for war. "Klaus is on the grid. He just walked into the cafe. Secure the perimeter. No one leaves alive if they touch her.""I'm already three minutes out," Silas growled, the roar of a high-performance engine bleeding through the line. "If he lays a finger on her, I’ll burn that block to the ground."By the time I reached the street corner, the extraction was already in motion. Two black SUVs had swerved onto the curb, effectively bottlenecking the street. Pedestrians scattered like pigeons.
Taken by my stepfathers Who the fuck is Klaus?
Eden’s POVThe city had a way of feeling like a cage, even when the doors were wide open. After the intensity of the mansion and the silent, heavy gravity of the Schmidt men, I needed a pocket of the world that didn't smell like expensive cigars or ancient, possessive bloodlines. I needed Claire.Claire’s restaurant was a small, bustling sanctuary in the heart of the city—the kind of place where you could smell garlic, fresh herbs, and honest work. It was the only place where I felt like Eden, not the "Asset" or the centrepiece of a Pact, but just a woman sitting at a scarred wooden table.I was nursing a glass of water, watching Claire move behind the counter with the effortless grace of someone who owned her space. She caught my eye and winked, a silent promise that she’d be over the moment the lunch rush dipped. I tried to relax, but a prickle of unease crawled up my spine. It was a sensation I had grown accustomed to lately, the feeling of being watched, not by the protective, hun
Taken by my stepfathers The Cost of Ignorance
Lilian’s POVThe city felt like it was closing in on me. The neon lights of Manhattan, once so welcoming and full of promise, now felt like cold, judgemental eyes. Every shadow seemed to hold a secret I wasn’t privy to. I had run out of allies. I had run out of secrets. But the questions Daniel had left me with were like glass shards in my mind, cutting deeper every time I tried to ignore them.Brothers. A father. An Asset.I needed to know how deep the rot went. I needed to know if fighting for my place next to Daniel meant I would eventually be forced to submit to Luca—or worse, to men I hadn’t even met yet. The thought of Luca's hands on me made my skin crawl, but the thought of losing the Schmidt empire made me feel like I was disappearing entirely.There was only one man left who played in the same dark, filthy circles as the Schmidts, even if he was a scavenger compared to their apex predator status.Klaus.The elevator ride up to his penthouse was suffocating. I checked my refl
Taken by my stepfathers They Like to put a show
Lilian’s POVThe drive to the Schmidt Tower was a blur of frantic, triumphant energy. I had the video. I had the proof that would finally tear the golden girl from her pedestal. I had seen Luca’s raw, pulsing arrogance by the pool, but I brushed it off as the bravado of a boy who knew he’d been caught. Daniel was different. Daniel was a man of order, a man who protected his territory with a lethal, quiet intensity. He wouldn't tolerate his son’s hands—or anything else—on the woman he had claimed.I bypassed his secretary with a sharp glare, pushing through the heavy oak doors of his top-floor office. Daniel was behind his desk, the skyline of Manhattan sprawling behind him like a kingdom. He didn't look up immediately. He was signing a stack of documents, the scratching of his pen the only sound in the room."You need to see this, Daniel," I said, my voice trembling with the weight of my victory.He paused, finally lifting his gaze. His eyes were cold, as they always were when they la
Taken by my stepfathers These People are crazy
Lilian’s POVThe drive to the Schmidt estate was fuelled by a cold desperation. For three days, the whispers had been growing louder in the circles I clawed my way into. Eden was back. Not just back, but ensconced in Daniel’s world like she belonged there. I knew Daniel’s schedule like a prayer; on a Tuesday afternoon, he was buried in board meetings at the Schmidt Tower, miles away from the silent walls of his mansion. He wouldn't be there to shield her. He wouldn't be there to lie for her.I stepped out of my car, smoothing my designer skirt. The security at the gate had been surprisingly lax—or perhaps they had simply been told to let the "ghost" in. I walked through the foyer, my heels clicking sharply against the marble. The house felt empty, draped in a heavy, expensive silence that made the hair on my arms stand up. I checked the parlor, the dining room, and Daniel’s study. Nothing.I followed the trail of discarded clothes toward the rear of the house, where the floor-to-ceili
Taken by my stepfathers The City in Flames
Daniel’s POVThe silence in the garage was more violent than any scream. I stood staring at the empty space where the black sedan should have been, the cold air of the underground level biting through my shirt. My heart wasn’t racing; it had slowed to a lethal thud.Fourteen days. We had spent fourteen days maintaining a wall of discipline that would have broken a lesser family. We had starved her, tested her, and finally reclaimed her in a night of unified possession that should have anchored her to this house forever. And yet, the moment our eyes were turned, she had vanished."The GPS is scrambled," Silas roared, his voice echoing off the concrete walls as he slammed his fist into the hood of the SUV next to him. His face was a mask of pure, unadulterated rage. "She took the keys from the valet box. She’s been gone for nearly ninety minutes. If she’s at a private airfield, she’s already out of the state.""She isn't at an airfield," I said, my voice a low vibration. "Eden doesn't r
Taken by my stepfathers The Butcher of Berlin
Eden’s POVThe warehouse smelled of wet concrete and ozone, a damp, heavy cold that seeped into my bones through the tears in my dress. I was zip-tied to a rusted pipeshaft in a corner of the basement, my jaw aching from where the man with the scarred throat had backhanded me 18 hours ago.His name

Daniel’s POVThe file on Deacon Arthur Vance made my fucking skin crawl. It wasn't just the abuse; it was the meticulous, holy-rolling theater he used to cloak it. This prick didn't just break children; he did it in the name of a god he didn't believe in, using a pulpit as a hunting blind.He was t

Daniel’s POVThe basement of the old warehouse on the outskirts of the city was a far cry from the refined, leather-scented dungeon of my estate. This place was raw. It smelled of damp concrete, rusted iron, and the pervasive, cloying scent of fear. I had chosen it for its lack of history, a blank

Luca’s POVThe penthouse of the Grand Regency felt like a gilded cage. It was the kind of place my father sent people when he wanted them out of his sight but still under his thumb. As I stood in the foyer, the scent of expensive lilies and stale gin hit me, a fragrance that had become Lilian’s sig
