Chapter 8

Adrian’s POV

Outside the office, I was so ashamed of being an ex-convict. I entered a taxi back to my apartment in frustration.

When I got to my apartment, I was tired, my hands were shaking to get my keys from my bag. I opened the door and walked in my small one-room space.

The walls cracks can be seen at the edges, the paint peels off when touched, and the air is damp.

There was no furniture. Just a tiny bed on the floor that was in the apartment before I came in. Everything inside felt abandoned—just like me.

My back leaned on the door, then I slid down till I was sitting on the cold floor thinking of what next to do with my miserable life.

The silence in the room feels heavier than the shouting I received earlier this morning. When people yelled at me, It's better, I hide behind my anger and fight back in my mind.

But this silence filled my chest like a burden that is stuck, reminding me of things I had lost.

Pink.

Her name resounded in my head, it was loud like a praye

    Chapter 135Brittany’s POVI stood in the doorway of Thomas’s apartment with my hand tight on my designer bag. I made up my mind to leave Thomas. In my bag I took just my passport and other important things. Everything else like the clothes, the jewelry, the image, all stayed behind. None of it would save me now.The police were closing in. They are aware of everything that had happened,the kidnap, about Martin, about my part, the ransom. I was left with little or no time before they came for me. So I was leaving the city. But not empty-handed.This morning, while Thomas slept, I took his black credit card and emptied his savings into an offshore account I’d set up. Over two hundred thousand dollars — his life’s work, gone with a few clicks. When he came home, his accounts would be empty and I’d be gone. That would be his punishment for trapping me with pregnancy instead of helping me with a plan to take down Darcy and Adrian.Yes, I was pregnant but not crippled. He’d planned it all

    Chapter 134 Darcy's POV Beep. Beep. Beep.The monitors woke me. My eyes were heavy. I felt badly hurt with pains in my whole body. I blinked on the bright lights and the room smelled antiseptic.“Mr. Rodrigo? Can you hear me?” a calm woman asked.I croaked, “Pink… where’s my daughter?”A nurse in blue scrubs stepped closer. “She’s in surgery. Try to stay calm.”“Surgery?” Pain shot through my ribs when I pushed up. “What happened to her? She was fine.”“The accident caused her internal bleeding but she will be fine. She's a strong girl.” the nurse said softly as she raised my bed’s head. “She needs surgery to repair it, and she needs a blood transfusion.”“Blood type?” I asked.“AB negative,” she answered. “It’s rare. We’re checking the bank now—”“I’m AB negative,” I interrupted. “Test me. Use my blood.”She hesitated. “Mr. Rodrigo, Pink was adopted, right? Adopted children don’t always share blood types, I hope you're aware.”“I don’t care, Doctor,” I said. “Test me. If my blood h

    Chapter 133Darcy’s POVI sat in my study, confused about the whole situation. My hands were shaking on the desk as I held my wine glass and sipped it bit by bit. Everything was falling apart. Pink was missing. Adrian was in jail. The one I put her... And Brittany was in my living room pretending to comfort me.The door opened without knocking. Brittany walked in, I opened my eyes when I heard the sound of her heels tapping on the floor, face soft with fake sympathy over the kidnap of my daughter.“Darcy,” she said in a calm voice, stepping closer to where I sat. “You did the right thing Darcy. I always knew Adrian was dangerous and not good for you and your daughter but you wouldn't listen. She would have ruined you. Take Pink away from you.”I forced myself to look beaten. “You were right, Brittany. About everything.”Her eyes lit up. “I’m glad you finally see that.”“I was stupid,” I said, voice low. “I left the best woman for the worst one. You were perfect for me, and I threw it

    Chapter 132Adrian’s POVTwo days had passed already.Two days since they put me in this cell. I sat on the cold floor with pains all over my body. I didn't tell any other story apart from saying, "I'm innocent and I want to go find Pink. Two days and no one had come for me.Darcy that I thought loved me immediately Pink got involved he showed me his true colours but why wouldn't he. I understand it's the love of a father to a daughter although he shouldn't have switched up like that. I hold no grudges.Not Darcy. Not Leo. Not a lawyer. No one.I sat down, my back on the cold wall and got lost looking at the ceiling. Hot tears ran down my face. The orange jumpsuit scratched my skin. A few days ago I’d been in Darcy’s penthouse—soft clothes, warmth, promise. Now I smelled like a cell.How did everything fall apart so fast?Darcy. My boss. My love. The man who held me and made me feel loved. He kissed me everytime, and said “I love you.” The man who knelt down, and asked me to be his gi

    Chapter 131Adrian's povPlease Darcy, forget about every other distraction and focus on Pink,” I said “ let talk on how to get her back PleaseI begged him, even kneeling, to do so because I care a lot about Pink. As I pleaded tears rolled down from my eye, my voice became hoarse from previous and crying and screaming. I was really trying to make him understand that the more time we waste the less chances we have .Darcy didn't talk, he didn't even look at me properly. He held his phone thinking of the possibility of me kidnapping Pink.“There’s nothing to talk about,” he said, flatly “ you want to destroy me but I won't allow it. You took my daughter. You kidnapped Pink.”“I didn't do such a thing. This is Martin's hard work. He took us as our driver from the park. In the middle of nowhere, he pulled me out saying he didn't need me and that he would take Pink and frame me for her kidnap.“You create an alibi,” he said, sounding the same terrible association as before. “ To make your

    Chapter 130Brittany’s POV“Baby, please.” Thomas’s voice pulled me out from my thoughts. I’d been lying on the couch for an hour, looking at the ceiling, recalling my visit to my father's house, Vivenne hitting me back and now I'm here,trying to plan my next move especially to terminate Vivenne and if my father insist on getting involved then I have no option than to take him down with Vivenne. But how?“What?” I said without looking at him.“I’m horny,” he said. The need was loud in his voice. “It’s been days—”“Stop.” I cut him off. “I am not your sex toy, Thomas. Leave me alone.”“We live together now. We’re having a baby. Isn’t it natural—”“Natural?” I sat up and fixed him with a hard look. “You blackmailed me into coming back. You threatened to expose me if I didn’t. And now you expect me to jump into bed like nothing happened?”He blinked. The old part of me might have felt sorry for him. That part was dead. I’d had enough.“I haven’t slept in the bedroom since I arrived,” I s
