LOGIN_Aurora’s POV_My gaze swept over the room; it was a tiny, toilet-like room, and there was a window up ahead. Great.I could hear Wanda’s impatient tapping outside the door and I knew I had to act fast. My legs zoomed for the window. “Are you alright in there?” Girl.“I am,” I called out, bringing a bucket and carefully placing it in front of me.And I climbed. We had been on the bottom floor, so all I had to do was maneuver my way out. Right?Right!So tell me why the fuck I was staring down from three stories high.They must have moved me when I was unconscious to a similar-looking room. And I hadn't noticed the height.I was fucked. I searched around wildly, seekingAnything I could use. I couldn't give up this way. God forbid I walk back into that room knowing what they wanted to do with me.So I did the most sensible thing any human would do. I jumped.Or rather, I wished I could jump. There were cars parked below, but nobody in sight. I wasn't sure if that was a goo
_Aurora’s POV_“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Wanda asked, and three pairs of eyes snapped to her. Cosmo looked confused, different emotions running across his face.What was she doing? Wanda’s gaze flickered to me before they moved back to Adrian. “Explain.” He turned to face her fully. “Yes, Steph… explain..” Cosmo said and my lips opened in an ‘o’ shape. So her name was Steph. I’d leave it as Wanda. It’s too much stress to change names. Anyways. We all waited for her to speak and I could see the wheels in her head turning. Don’t tell me she had said that without an actual plan? “I’m still waiting to know why you think it’s a terrible plan to move her,” Adrian added, his fingers rappelling against the bench he was leaning on.Wanda took a deep breath. “I had spoken to my uncle. And he mentioned something about the Prime Minister being in town and security being tight.” She started, waiting for Adrian to say something. When he doesn't, I could see her let out a breath
_Aurora’s POV_My body went rigid the moment Adrian stepped into the room, my breath turning shallow. That smile on his face, the way he looked at me. It made my stomach turn and filled me with so much disgust. “Did you miss me, my peaches?” he asked, closing the door behind him like this was just another normal visit.Like I wasn’t chained to a bed and shaking. He made it seem as if whatever was happening right now was normal.I said nothing.My throat felt tight, my tongue still heavy from whatever they had injected into me.Adrian walked further into the room, his steps slow.He seemed so unhurried as he crossed the distance between us. How often does he do this? Kidnap women and tie them up in a room. It seemed as if this wasn’t the first time. And I doubt it was going to be the last. Unless I put an end to him. His gaze swept over me, taking in the restraints, the way I struggled to keep my eyes open.It seemed to bring him joy as the smile on his lips widened. “Hmm,”
_Aurora’s POV_I heard voices all around me, shapes and colors moving and blending into one. It felt like I was high, the same feeling of floating that comes with intoxication. Yeah that.At a point, someone came and injected something into my vein, the room spinning all around me. I tried to speak, but it felt like something had been forced into my windpipe, making it hard for me to speak.When I came to, I was tied to a bed, legs and feet apart. My vision hazed as I stared around me, trying to make sense of my position. What in the world? My memory felt slow. I remembered everything that happened, but I was taking ages to process it.“What have you done to me?” I slurred, finding my vision blurry. I saw two people sitting in a corner and the moment I spoke, their heads snapped up.“Finally shr is awake.” Someone muttered, a voice I recognized as Wanda. Both figures pushed up from where they sat, walking towards me. “Don't come any closer.” I forced out, being unable to Kobe
_Damien’s POV_The first thing I did the next morning was drive to Adrian’s office. Of course, I wasn't going to interrogate him, Wdrian wasnt stupid. If I showed him even a sign of suspicion, he would be on guard, and I didn’t want that to happen. I wouldn’t be stupid enough to do anything that would hurt Aurora.I had slipped the chip into my pocket, hoping to find the perfect spot to plant it. His keys. Inside his car. Fuck, I would put this inside his hair if I had to.I had one shot at this and I wasn’t going to mess it up.Where was she? Was she hurt? Was she even alive-I exhaled sharply, cutting off my thoughts from spiraling.I needed to be calm while doing this, I needed to relax.By the time I cut the engine in front of Adrian’s building, I had calmed my nerves. The chip was still sitting inside my pocket as I made my way to his office.And by the name I knocked on his door, I still hadn’t found the perfect spot to place it.“Damien,” Adrian called out, surprise on
_Damien’s POV_The moment the call ended, I turned to Antonio, hoping he had succeeded. “Did it work?” I asked, tossing my phone away and heading to his table. From the disappointed look on his face and his head shaking, I knew we had failed. But I still waited for him to give me an answer.“I think he has a jammer on his phone,” Antonio said, fingers moving across his board. “Makes it hard to track it.”“Fuck.” I cursed, my fist slammed into the table.It’s been a day.One full day and Aurora has still not been found. She’s always up to something. Twenty-four hours without her shenanigans was enough reason for me to worry. But the police didn’t think the same. I had gone to the police, and they requested that we wait for three days before we filed a missing person report. Apparently, twenty-four hours was too little to declare a grown adult missing, And her father said it hadn’t been the first time she had done something like this. But I couldn’t just sit by and wait idly,
