LOGINLIORA DENVERUX POVIt has been a year since I woke up from my coma after being injected. I was back in my childhood home with Matilda, Camille, and Connor.Somewhere in that memory, I heard Damien's voice pulling me out of that darkness.The first thing I asked was about our child, but the look in Damien's eyes told me everything. Then I realized the pills I was forced to swallow were abortion pills, and it was over. It was too late…I could never forget Camille's smug, satisfied look. Ever. She killed my baby… They killed my baby. It turned out Camille had gotten out of prison with the help of Celina. Celina had helped replace her with another woman who looked almost identical to Camille.The doctor said my womb was affected, not badly, but it would be a miracle to have a child.I heard Camille was killed by the detectives, and Celina died in prison the day after Damien saved me. I knew that was my father's doing.Damien had spent the whole year trying to make me happy and helping me
DAMIEN BLACK POVEmpty.Empty.Empty.Empty…I was already in the 50th apartment block. I was about to leave when I noticed Liora's bracelet, the one I gave her, under the fifteenth freezer in the apartment building.The freezer was empty. It meant she was somewhere in this room, and I didn't know where. Then it clicked. One of these freezers, or all of them, had an extra hidden space.I turned to the camera. I had been played from the beginning… Not caring how cold the freezer was, I punched the wall inside, expecting something to happen, but nothing did.I opened another one and punched through the wall inside… Empty.“What are you doing, Damien…?”“Stop!” Celina screamed, as if she had realized that I knew what was going on.I was already at the fifth one. My fist already hurt from the cold, but Liora was in much more pain than I was.“Stop right now! You're only going to hurt yourself…”I scoffed. When I punched through the wall, it moved. The wall was weak, so I kept hitting it.
Damien Black POVI opened my eyes slowly. I was in an empty room. I looked around. Nothing. I was not tied up; I was just placed on the dirty floor. Right in front of me were two bunches of keys, each looking heavy.I stood up and walked to the nearest window to scan my surroundings. It seemed I was still around Crescent Road, but I couldn't see the road. Maybe this building was further away from the road.I walked back towards the keys. I was expecting a confrontation between me and those two crazy women.“Oh, you're awake…,”I quickly looked around for the voice. Celina. Then I noticed a small speaker and mini camera. I stared coldly at the camera.“Oh, come on, love. Don't look at me like that…,” Celina cooed.I tried to swallow my disgust. “Where am I?” I asked.“Crescent Road, but further away from where you came through…,” she said. I could hear her smirk.“You know this was my father's project. He had a big dream for this place, but he needed a powerful backing, and that was
Damien Black POVShe is safe.She is safe.I kept telling myself that while waiting for Celina to call. I needed to know if Liora was fine.Adrian kept calling everyone he knew, while Mother kept comforting me.It had been two hours since Celina called, and nothing yet.My phone rang. Beau.“Hey, D…”“Hi…”“Any news from the police?” he asked.I shook my head, but then realised he couldn't see me.“No… nothing,” I answered.I ran my hand through my hair.“She will be found, D.”My jaw tightened as I trembled in fear, and my voice cracked.“S… she is pregnant, Beau… and…”“Hey… she will be safe… and my godchild. You will get her back,” Beau said.I nodded.“The guys are worried about you…”“Thanks…”“Elias and I will be there soon…”“Hmmm.”I swallowed. The call ended, and I leaned back against the chair. I stood up to start pacing again. I had been pacing for hours.Then my phone rang. I answered immediately after seeing the contact profile.“Celina…” I called as I answered the call,
Liora Denverux POVI slowly opened my eyes. It was dark. I tried to move and realised there was a cloth over my head.I struggled, but my hands were tied, though my legs weren't.“Oh, she is awake,” I heard a familiar voice say.The black cloth came off. Standing right in front of me were Camille and Celina.Camille had a large scar across her face. She gave me a huge grin.“Surprise!!”“Don't scare her, Camille…” Celina said as she took a seat in front of me.I could tell fear was obviously flickering in my eyes, but I didn't scream. There was no use.“It seems she understands the situation…” Celina said as she reached forward and took off the cloth used to gag my mouth.“Better?” she asked.I nodded. She smiled and touched my face.“You aren't going to ask questions?” she asked, and I shook my head.“Don't worry, we will tell you anyway…” Celina said.Camille kept chewing her fries, and my eyes stayed on her.She smiled. “I am guessing you are asking how I got this.” She paused.“I
136 Damien Black POV“Hello, Damien…”The voice that came through my phone was cold and undeniably dangerous.“Who is this?” I asked. I heard the person laugh. She was a female.“I am hurt. You even forgot how I sound… Ouch,” she said. My fist clenched.“Who are you?” I asked again.“Or maybe you should ask yourself, or maybe I should remind you how I sounded under you when we made out…” the voice said. My jaw clenched in disgust.Celina.“Celina…” I said coldly. She laughed.“It took you this long… wow. I am hurt. I am that forgettable, but I bet after this, you will remember me forever…” she said as if making a promise.“You have Liora?”“You are asking again? Obviously!” She laughed. “You know, I have waited for this moment for days… months. You sound scared, Damien Black. I can't wait to see how scared you look when you discover what I have planned,” she added.“Look, we can discuss this. Liora is innocent. She is not the one you want; it is me. I ruined your career…”“Ahh, at lea
