Ava's POV

“If she won't talk, we'll make her,” Grace said as she advanced, a heavy stick in her hand.

Hell no. I've taken enough beating for one day. I guess I'm meeting my father today.

“Haven’t you done enough?” The words were a ragged whisper, all the strength I had left.

Grace’s answer was a hateful smile. “Not until you talk, you bitch.” The stick whistled through the air and cracked against my thigh—directly on the fresh wound Sophie’s knife had opened.

A blinding pain erupted **in** me. My scream was torn from a place so raw I didn’t recognize my own voice. And through the tears blurring my vision, I saw her—smiling. Enjoying it.

That was it. A raw, desperate need to fight back, to make her feel even a fraction of my pain, surged through me.

“Open your eyes, you fool!” I shrieked, my body straining against the ropes. “Can’t you see you’re hitting **an** open wound? Or are you truly that blind?”

“The audacity!” Grace shrieked, and she began hitting the same spot over and

    **Ava’s POV**I knew if I didn’t respond, or if I pretended not to know, he would shoot me again. Dizziness was already clouding my vision.“It’s… it’s at the house,” I stuttered, my voice weak.“Liar!” Grace yelled. “There was nothing in your father’s safe when we unlocked it!”I took a deep, shuddering breath. The pain in my arm was overwhelming. “I swear it’s at the house.”“Where?” Phillip’s voice was soft, almost gentle, which was more terrifying than any shout.“At… at the…” I paused, struggling to draw air into my lungs. “I kept it in my room,” I finally gasped.“Now she’s lying!” Sophie snapped. “I cleared your room—it’s mine now, you lying bitch!”“I swear, Philip, they’re hidden in my room. I am not lying!” I cried, the tears mixing with the sweat on my face.“Since you insist on lying, I might as well kill you now,” he said, the gun still leveled at my head.*I can’t die. No… no, I can’t die.*“I’m telling you the truth! I know where the documents are! Please don’t kill me!

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 100: The torture

    Sophie's POV“Are you insane? You could have killed her, Grace!” Philip’s voice cut through the stale air of the room. He was already kneeling beside Ava’s motionless form, his fingers pressing against her throat to find a pulse. “We need her conscious to talk, not dead in a chair.”“Why the fuck did you hit her so hard?” he continued, his voice now deceptively calm as he placed a finger under her nose. “She could have died, and we’d be left with nothing.”“She’s still alive,” I murmured.“I know, just checking,” Philip said, giving me a dumb smile that irritated me even more.I couldn’t wait anymore; I was done waiting for her to regain consciousness. I strode outside, the slam of the door echoing my fury, and returned a moment later with a bucket of water sloshing in my grip.“What are you doing?” Philip asked, stepping in my path.“I can’t wait anymore,” I hissed. I sidestepped him and hurled the water directly into Ava’s face. “Wake up, bitch!”The effect was instant. She jolted a

    **Ethan’s POV**“What did you just say?” I screamed at the officer standing in front of me.“Calm down, Ethan. They’re trying their best to find her,” Noah said, for what felt like the hundredth time.“Calm down?” I yelled. “I swear, the only reason I am calm is that the next thing I do, you’ll all regret it! I told you they were useless. I could have handled this myself. It’s been almost 24 hours since she disappeared, and you’re telling me to be calm?”I turned my rage back on the police. “I swear, if anything happens to her, I will burn your careers to the ground,” I said, pointing a trembling finger at the officers. “Do you understand me?”“Mr. Wilson, I understand your frustration. We’re sorry we haven’t found a solid clue yet, but we promise we’ll have something by tomorrow morning,” said the lead officer, a man named Briggs with tired eyes.“Sorry isn’t good enough! You had one job. One job to do for me, and you failed.” I ran my hands through my hair in sheer frustration. “I d

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 98: Philips

    **Ava’s POV**I was tired and weak. A dull, throbbing ache pulsed behind my temples—a relentless reminder of the blow that had brought me here. Ethan must be going out of his mind with worry. I hoped he wouldn’t blame himself. I prayed he would find me before Sophie’s cruelty escalated from threats to something irreversible.Ethan will find me. I'm positive about this. Judging by how dark this room was, it must already be night. My stomach growled, a hollow ache that reminded me I hadn’t eaten all day. Fear had stolen my appetite, but now weakness was setting in.“Is someone there?” I called out from where I was tied. “I need some water, please. Is anybody out there?”I was about to call out again when the door creaked open. I flinched, swallowing hard. Finally, someone came.“Please, I need—” I paused as I saw Sophie. Behind her was Grace and my long-lost, nothing-but-trouble uncle.“I told you,” Sophie sneered, her voice dripping with mockery. “You can scream until your voice gives

  • The Betrayal's kiss    chapter 97: Sophie

    Sophie's POVI walked out, seething with anger. If Grace didn’t arrive soon, I wasn’t sure I could keep myself from doing something drastic—something final. The thought of ending Ava ahead of schedule flickered in my mind, a dark temptation that almost brought a smile to my lips. At least then, I’d feel like I was back in control."What are you thinking about?" David’s voice cut through the quiet, pulling me from my thoughts.I didn’t turn. “I told you not to come out until I called for you.”“Your phone kept buzzing. Sounded like the world was ending.” His tone was light, almost teasing. “And I missed your pretty face.” He stepped closer, his presence warm and familiar even before I turned to face him. He stood shirtless, the dim outdoor light catching the lines of his muscles. He was beautiful, and he knew it. But tonight, his charms felt like a distraction I couldn’t afford.“Hey, baby,” he murmured, leaning in to press a soft kiss to my forehead. “You need to calm down.” His lips
