เข้าสู่ระบบCHAPTER SIXTY SIXADRIAN’S POVI didn’t know what we were going up against but after I received the address from Dominic, I pulled up with every person I had available. When we got to the warehouse, there were no signs of anyone around the warehouse. Surely the fucker would not be stupid enough to pull this off without any backup. He had given us 20 minutes to arrive. Realistically, it would have taken us almost an hour to get there. I got behind the wheel and got there in about 30 minutes, 10 minutes ahead of everybody.I waited for everyone to arrive before we advanced into the warehouse. We all had our guns out but there was nobody on site. We found Jeremy and Martin hanging from the ceiling with their hands tied up. Martin was dead. Jeremy was close to dying.Isabella’s limp body sat on a chair. She showed no sign of life except for the small pulse I felt. After scoping the place out and making sure nobody else was actually there, we carried the three bodies out.Since Martin wa
CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVEISABELLA’S POVI was dragged back to consciousness when cold water was dumped on me. It was dark and the only indication that it was bright outside was the ray of sunlight coming through the window.I tried to convince myself I was having a bad dream. I closed my eyes and opened them again but I met the same fate. I was bound to the chair with ropes that were tighter than the last time. I knew better than to struggle to free myself.“Took you long enough.” A light switch came on and Dominic came into view. I finally got a good look at where I was.Two men were hanging from a rope tied to their hands to the left of me. There were the men that Adrian sent to make sure I was okay.“What do you want?” I asked weakly. Every part of my body ached.“You know what I want, Isabella. I don’t want to have this conversation with you again.”“I don’t have what you want. Please let me go.” I begged. “I can’t do that, baby doll. Not until I get what I want.” He walked to the ot
CHAPTER SIXTY-FOURADRIAN’S POVI had to rush out of the house to meet with Nathaniel. He hadn’t agreed to push the 3pm meeting forward and there was no way I was going to miss Theo’s birthday celebration. I didn’t want to let Isabella down. One of my warehouses got burnt down. The exact one that housed goods that were yet to be delivered to Nathaniel. Luckily, the fire service got there in time to put out the fire before the whole place got torched.I was sitting in a car with Nathaniel close to the warehouse.“This is bad for our business, no?” He said with a hint of mockery in his voice.“I’ll take care of it before the week runs out.” I sighed.“Someone’s out for your blood. I don’t care who it is and I don’t want to be in the middle of anything. You have until next week to uphold your end of the deal. You know what will happen if you don’t.” He slammed the door on his way out of the car.This was the Nathaniel I’d heard stories about. I groaned in frustration. I needed to take m
CHAPTER SIXTY-THREEISABELLA’S POVAdrian dropped Theo off at school but I was the one to pick him up. The plan was for all of us to spend the night at Vivian’s house. After I picked him up from school, we went to Vivian's house and he got changed and then the three of us left the house.We went to a park because that was what Theo wanted. Vivian and I just sat on a bench and watched him play with the other kids. I knew we had people watching us. When I first noticed it in the morning, I was paranoid and thought it was Dominic. I told Vivian about it and she said it was Adrian. It felt a little bit weird to have people watching your every move even though it was for our own good.After Theo was tired of the park, we went to a fast-food restaurant to get something to eat. We took a short walk after and then got in the car to drive us back to Vivian’s house.It was already evening so we got ready for the night and had dinner. We were supposed to have dinner with Adrian but he was runni
CHAPTER SIXTY-TWOADRIAN’S POVIsabella had called again to say she saw the man who kidnapped her. I’d already contacted the club to get the CCTV footage from the night she saw him. It was going to take a while but I pulled some strings to get it faster.Isabella had already started to panic. She had only seen him two times but she was convinced it wasn’t coincidental at all. I had to assure her that nothing of that sort was going to happen to her. I sent two of my men to shadow her without her knowing.If the guy was really out to get her then it was going to be a problem for me too. After all, the only reason he went after her was to get to me.We agreed that Theo would spend the week at my house instead of hers. She felt it was safer there with a lot of people to look out for him.I had a lot on my plate at work. The business deal with Nathaniel had hit a roadblock. One of our shipments had been intercepted. It wasn’t the first in the last few months. We’d been running at a loss tr
CHAPTER SIXTY-ONEISABELLA’S POVIt couldn’t be. I refused to believe that he was the one sitting down in front of me. There was no way. The world was small but not that small.He waved a hand in front of me. “Hello. Can I get some service here?”“Sure.” I said shakily. I almost spilled it on him and he cursed under his breath.Surely he would have remembered my face if he had kidnapped me. He didn’t show any sign of recognizing me. Maybe it was a regular thing for him and he couldn’t remember the face of every girl he kidnapped.After I served him his drink, I went to the other side of the bar to serve other customers. I desperately wanted to get out of the place but I couldn’t. I knew it would cost me my job. I forced myself to go through the rest of my shift without thinking about that man. I remembered his name, Dominic. He left after an hour or two. I took a quick break to the bathroom to wash my face.At the end of my shift, I changed back into my regular clothes and I left the
CHAPTER FOURTEEN ISABELLA’S POVFOUR YEARS LATER“Theo you have to hurry up, or else we’re gonna be late.” I yelled.“I’m coming, mummy.” He rushed out of the room. “I had to get this.” He showed me the toy in excitement.I chuckled. “You know you're not allowed to take that out, Theo. You already
CHAPTER THIRTEENISABELLA’S POVI didn’t even have to explain too much to Jess before she agreed to come. She only heard that I was in the hospital and didn't think twice. Before she arrived, the doctor came in to check up on me.“How are you feeling?” She asked.“A bit tired.” I answered. “Can I g
CHAPTER NINEISABELLA’S POV“You can leave us.” He waved the boss off. He waited until he completely disappeared from our view before speaking. “So what did you want to talk to me about?”“Uhm.” Where did I want to start? I took a deep breath. “Can I speak to Adrian?”He was a bit taken aback. “You

I had a busy and crazy schedule for the coming days.I hopped out of the shower with water dripping down my body and a towel wrapped around my waist. My phone had been ringing for a w
