Chapter 30

Darcy's POV

I didn't expect last night to happen. I didn't plan it. But the moment she looked at me that way, her eyes full of confusion and fire-I lost the little control I had left.

And God, it was good.

It wasn't like the other nights I've had with women who only wanted to be seen beside me, who moaned my name like a trophy. No, this one was different. She felt real. Tight.

I enjoyed her. Truly enjoyed her. There was an authenticity to her, a tight, sweet friction that was utterly unlike the polished, performative women of my world. She wasn't just another body; she was a revelation

She stirred something in me I thought was long dead - a hunger deeper than desire, something I couldn't name.

But I can't let it grow.

As I lay down on the bed, staring at the lights on the ceiling as the morning sun filled the room. I can smell her scent - soft vanilla and the faint trace of last night.

I turned to look at her.

She's lying in bed, covered only by a few sheets. Then her hai

    Chapter 104Brittany's PovThomas's apartment was smaller than I remembered, but it looked elegant. He's really rich like he said. Not bad. A two-bedroom apartment, the living room had leather sofas and then there's a modern kitchen. Expensive.The Art on the wall made it classy. It wasn't fancy,it was quietly rich. It was safe. Right then, safety was enough."Make yourself at home," Thomas said, setting my bag down on the couch. "Want something to drink? I've got wine, beer, whiskey-""Whiskey," I said. "The strongest you have."He raised an eyebrow, looking at me but he didn't argue, there was no need to do such. He got the whiskey and poured it in the glasses. I drank mine in a gulp. The burn steadied me."Rough day?" he asked when he sat beside me."Rough week," I said. "Rough month. Rough life."He offered to listen. But I didn't wish to talk. He didn't push. We sat in a comfortable silence that surprised me - considering how badly we'd left things last time."Thank you," I said

    Chapter 103 Adrian's PovThe condo was incredible.No-"incredible" wasn't enough for that house. It was so beautiful. I loved it when I saw it on his phone.It looked like the place we normally see in movies and advertised on the magazines and billboards. I couldn't believe I owned it. I was hoping to save up and get myself a house, little did I know that Darcy would do that for me all because of the little help I rendered.Darcy had insisted on showing it to me today. Yes, I was tired. Still feeling pain from my wounds but I followed him. I still couldn't believe everything that was happening. I am a car owner, now owning a condo too. This was huge.He'd helped me sit in the passenger seat of my new car and he drove downtown to a sleek high-rise building with a doorman and marble floors."You didn't have to do this Darcy," I said for probably the hundredth time as the elevator climbed."I know," he said, holding my hand. "I wanted to."The doors opened directly showing off the swee

    Chapter 102Darcy's PovThe hospital chair was awful.My back ached, my neck was stiff, and every muscle complained that I was the CEO of Rodrigo shouldn't be here.Still, I refused to leave Adrian at the hospital all by herself. She was finally sleeping-slow, after waking up twice because of nightmares. She looked safe now. The injuries, still seen on her wrists, were still dark, but she was here, and that was everything.My phone rang. Mark's name flashed.I stepped into the hallway and answered. "What is it?""Sir, big problem," Mark said, tense. "Zenith needs the final proposal by 5 PM today or they walk. This is the billion-dollar deal we've been working on for months."I checked my watch. 2:30 PM."Can't you handle it?" My voice sounded thick with exhaustion."I tried, sir. But the specs they want-logistics restructuring, AI integration-are beyond me. I don't want to guess and lose the deal. We need your input."I rubbed my eyes. Three nights with almost no sleep had taken their

    Chapter 101Martin's PovThe house was too quiet today. No loud music or anything, maybe Amelia has started to understand what privacy and staying on a low means.For hours I looked at my phone, waiting for a call. News. Anything.The only updates came from the TV.RODRIGO NANNY FOUND ALIVE AFTER KIDNAPPINGThe headline flashed over and over. Police cars, ambulances, officers moving quickly outside a warehouse. A stretcher being loaded.Adrian. She had been found. Alive.Anxiety ran through when I saw the news. Then, Brittany called me, telling me to run. Run with Amelia to another city. But I won't. At least, not yet. Running meant admitting defeat. Giving up everything I had left.I sipped whiskey from its bottle, not minding the burns in my chest. I dropped it down at the nearest table, thinking... Half-empty. I had been drinking since noon when I got back, trying to kill my fears.Adrian was alive. That meant she could talk. She could tell the police everything she remembered.But

    Chapter 100 Brittany's Pov Sleep wouldn't come. Vivienne's offered me a guest room in her house to stay. Although it was comfortable, my heart was cold. The room was nothing like mine in my father's house. It was tiny but at least it had a soft bed,then silk blankets to keep me warm, and gold curtains that added beauty to the room but it blocked the light but none of this mattered. I lay on the bed thinking of everything that had happened, I was busy looking at the ceiling, Raymond's words replayed over and over in my mind. "They found her. She's alive." Adrian was alive. My stomach churned. If Darcy asked the police to investigate this matter, and they did, they would trace leads, interrogate the witnesses and eventually, someone might foolishly call my name then, they'd reach me. My phone sat on the nightstand. I had silenced notifications, terrified of the chaos outside my room. But avoidance wouldn't last forever. Scared. But with my shaking hands, I picked it

    Chapter 99Adrian's POVI woke up in pain all over and lay on my side because my back was badly injured. The strange man had tortured me seriously.A deep ache I felt spreads from my wrists, back, head, and ribs. It was sharp. Everything hurts. Badly.My eyelids were heavy. The room was too bright when I opened them. Shapes slowly came into focus , it was a white ceiling, white walls, a steady beeping to my left.Hospital.My mind processed the shock from the events in fragmented pieces: the warehouse, the cold floor, a masked man, ropes cutting into my skin. The needle. The burn of something hot sliding into my vein. Voices - one I thought was Martin and a woman giving orders on a phone. Then darkness."Adrian."Darcy's voice. Rough and tired, but it felt like a lifeline.I turned and saw him. Darcy.He was sitting, closer to me, just next to my bed. His eyes were red from sleeping and his hair, messy. He looked completely tired. He also looked like the most beautiful thing in the w
