Coraline

“We’re here ma’am.”

I raised my head and looked through the window of my Uber. We had stopped in front of a glitzy, five-star hotel.

I had expected an abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere or a dark suspicious building with security at the door, but I guessed I had nothing to worry about on that end.

That counted as a good sign at least.

Handing the driver his pay and climbing out of the car, I stopped in front of the hotel and inhaled a rush of air for confidence before steppin

    CoralineEven before my eyelids cracked open, I knew I wasn’t in the dank basement any longer.I wasn’t tied down too, so maybe that was a good sign?I ached all over, but I still forced myself to open my eyes and get a better look at my new surroundings.It was a normal-looking room, with cream-colored walls and floral curtains hanging over a window.Even the bed I was lying on wasn’t uncomfortable.For a few disorienting seconds, I tried to connect the dots between my last memory and the one I was waking up to.I could even almost convince myself it had all been a terrible nightmare except the overwhelming pain in my body told me otherwise.When I tried to move, a throbbing sharpness flared in my side so I flopped back against the bed with a groan.Fuck, I think my ribs were badly bruised.No wonder every breath felt like a dull knife dragging through my insides.I heard a distant clap of thunder just as the bedroom door suddenly opened.I flinched hard when Marcus stepped in, a vis

    AlessioToday was the third day since Coraline had gone missing, and I’d barely gotten more than five hours of sleep altogether.Those pictures of her kept flashing through my mind every time I closed my eyes and I was getting increasingly antsy to find some sort of breakthrough somewhere.Georgina was growing more and more impatient because I hadn’t signed the marriage paperwork yet. I’d claimed my lawyers had found a discrepancy in the documents and would have to review it first before it could be cleared for my signature.It was bullshit of course and Georgina knew it. But she’d given me until today to take care of it.Meaning time was no longer on my side. If I delayed any longer, that could spell something bad for Coraline.So the options now were: sign the documents and go ahead with the wedding or find something useful that would hint at Coraline’s location before the time was up.But I kept hitting dead ends everywhere I turned.The only thing that was certain now was that Mar

    CoralineI very quickly realized that rejecting food had been a mistake on my part when I started to feel myself losing the energy I needed desperately to survive.Water from a rusted tin can alone wasn’t going to cut it anymore, so the next time Marcus showed up with a plate of something and asked if I was interested, I forced myself to give a nod.“I’m not going to feed you food the way I’ve been doing with water,” he told me in an unhappy tone, “so I’m going to have to untie you. I’m sure you know the drill already if you try anything funny.” He raised a brow in my direction before setting down the plate of whatever concoction it was this time around and approaching me. “I’m going to knock you out cold and you’d wake up to find yourself back in the chair, permanently that time around.”I swallowed down a painful lump and shook my head. “No, I’ll be good.” He grinned as he walked behind me to undo the leather cords surrounding my numb wrists. “Who knew we’d ever get along like this

    AlessioI stared down at the marriage license paperwork placed in front of me.“I’ve planned out every detail already.” Georgina said in a nasally voice, seated comfortably in one of my armchairs in the penthouse. “All that’s left is your signature and then we can head to the courthouse to make this marriage official.”I remained still for a few seconds before finally reaching forward and picking up the stack of documents, flipping through it without really seeing anything.After a while, I set it down with a sharp slap against the glass coffee table, inhaling deeply before lifting my gaze towards the woman who was trying to single-handedly implode my entire life.“Three things.” I said simply.She narrowed her eyes and sat up with a sudden jerk. “You really think you have a say—”I silenced her with a deadly stare that caused her to reluctantly sit back before calmly continuing, “First, I'm sure you don’t expect me to sign legal documents without having my lawyers review them first.

    Coraline“Aww, you must really love him to look so devastated.” Georgina tutted in mock sympathy, driving the phantom knife wedged inside my heart deeper and brutally twisting it.“Maybe if you’d been in it for the money just like I was,” she kept going, “I would have been able to understand you better and you wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place.”That got my attention as quickly as the ugly words left her mouth and I finally raised my head, my swollen gaze sharpening in her direction. “What do you mean for the money?”“Oh don’t be stupid, Caroline. Do you really think I’m in love with Alessio?” she cackled. “The only thing I’m in love with about him is his money and his cock. And even the latter I can do without. Money has always been my only real motivation, know that now.”My eyes widened as the realization sank its claws into my gut. “So the baby and this engagement is to trap him?”“Please.” She cradled her bump with a triumphant glint in her eye. “It isn’t like he’s

    CoralineShe was lying.She had to be. There just wasn’t any other option.But I feigned devastation for a moment nonetheless, forcing my expression to crumble like her words had completely shattered me.She walked further into the room so she was standing in front of me, the scent of her perfume suffocating and stirring the desire to throw up inside my stomach.“Dios, you look so pitiful.” She stared down her fake nose at me with a slight curl of her lips. “Do you know how long I’ve been trying to get you within my grasp?”(God.)“Why? So you can finally have a chance with my fake boyfriend?” I shot back at her.She threw back her head and laughed loudly, mockingly. The sound grated on my nerves even though I was trying hard not to let it show.“You’re dumber than I gave you credit for if that’s what you truly think,” she finally said, harsh expression back on her face. “Alessio has always been mine, even before our first night together that led to this.” She rubbed her sizable bump,

    Coraline“This is the best meal I’ve had in a long time.” I said as I scraped my bowl clean then set it on the table and looked at David. “You need to teach me your mom’s special recipe.”He got up from the sofa to take his own empty plate into the kitchen. “Nothing comes for free, Cora,” he said s

    CoralineI slowly dragged myself out of bed to pick up my phone. It had been ringing nonstop for five minutes now and the continuous sound was grating on my ears and getting pretty annoying.The caller ID showed what I already knew—that it was David, no doubt another one of his attempts to get me t

    CoralineMy eyes widened and confusion swirled in my gut as Georgina stood before me.What the hell was she doing here? Was she one of the models?She didn’t look glittered up and wasn’t in tall heels like the women had been. So her presence remained a mystery.“What do you want?” I asked her, tryi

I had intended to catch her off guard—and clearly, it had worked.Ash walked up to her. “Why do you look like you’ve seen your worst nightmare?”Coraline blinked, snapping out of her daze
