The Vow I Never Took Pick Up, Pick Up!
Sebastian POVI don't think I've ever been this angry in my entire life. I tighten my grip around the phone until it groans against my ear. Rage twists inside of me, and veins bulge against the skin of my forehead. I'm standing in my main office at the highest floor of my building. The windows open to a panoramic view of Manhattan. Glittering towers claw at the sky, fingers of steel and glass. The sky is a deep blue, the sun a paint stain against its fabric. I hate it. How could everything have gone so wrong?My plan was perfect! Every piece perfectly placed. The Troy virus I'd uploaded to the company's database was supposed to be my ace card. The team I hired to retrieve Nathan claimed they were professionals, and I believed them. I paid out of my nose to hire their services. They promised me discretion. They promised me results. And now? Nathan is free. The cops have turned against me. Everything has fallen apart.
The Vow I Never Took This One Time
Nathan POV“Hey,” a voice says beside me. I turn and see my grandmother closing the door behind her. There's a scarf tied around her right hand, hiding the bandage she's wearing there. Apparently, she punched a guy so hard that it dislocated her finger.After what we all went through, I'm glad that my grandmother is recovering. The dark circles still ring her eyes, and there's a new vulnerability to her now, a heaviness in her eyes that has made her more paranoid. She looks over her shoulders when she thinks no one is looking, and she reacts to loud sounds. It makes me sad that we'll all bear scars from that harrowing incident, but my grandmother is one of the strongest people I know. “Hey,” I answer. My voice comes out flat and hollow. We stand in the hallway of the police headquarters. Lamps on the wall cast a steady light, leading down the curved passage. The floor shines faintly under the glow, footsteps echoing in the distance.
The Vow I Never Took Determined
Lena POV After the first hour, I realise that no matter how good a room looks, a prison is still a prison. I feel like a rat in a cage, and it's about to drive me crazy. The ceiling to floor windows are a cruel deception. I have the entire skyline to myself, yet it's useless to me because I can't leave. The glass is cold and unyielding under my palm, a solid barrier disguised as an open vista. I spend the next thirty minutes conducting a systematic inventory of the room's contents. My fingers trace the spines of the books on the shelf; a mix of classic literature and modern fiction, some I recognise, some I don't.I pull a few out—a pristine copy of 1984, which feels a little too on the nose, and a thriller I’ve never heard of—flip through the pages, and slot them back in a different order. It’s a small, pointless act of defiance, a way to prove I can still exert some control over my environment. I don't have a doubt that I'm being watched. My bet is that there's
The Vow I Never Took Calm Down
Lena POV Sybil hums as she pulls me out of the elevator. It's just one more of the degrading things that has been done to me so I can't even be offended.We enter another hallway, and this one is more decorated than the previous one. Paintings in heavy gilt frames line the walls, running like two parallel rows. The lamps are fancier, shaped like miniature chandeliers with dangling crystal teardrops. One of the walls has been turned into a full-length mirror, and I catch my reflection as we pass. Hair a mess, dried tears forming salt tracks in my face, eyes red from crying, an angry bruise on my jaw. God. What a week it has been.I feel suddenly tired. Things have been moving so quickly. It's like since the day Nathan went missing, I've been thrown into a whirlpool, and no matter how hard I try, it just keeps hauling me along. The lack of sleep is a physical weight on my shoulders. My muscles ache from being tense for days. Every step forward feels like a
The Vow I Never Took Snap Out Of It
Lena POV For several minutes, I am completely unable to speak, my mind reeling. How on earth did this happen? Who are these people? Sybil lets out a light, mocking titter, obviously savoring the shock frozen on my face. She pounds a fist twice against the wall of the van, and the engine roars back to life. We pull away, and through the doors, I see the familiar glass facade of my company building. It’s the last piece of my normal world I see before it vanishes around a corner. The sight feels like a physical punch, a direct representation of my safety being ripped away. The van soon jolts to a final stop inside a cold, concrete underground garage. Sybil is moving before the engine dies, climbing out with a casual grace. She leans to the side, stretching and popping her back. She turns a mocking smile on me, and a fresh wave of anger cuts through my fear. I’m beginning to think I truly hate this woman. She claims she’s only doing this for
The Vow I Never Took He Is Right
Nathan POVI'm sitting on a bench with my hands wrapped around a coffee mug. A single lamp hangs transversely from the ceiling, spilling white light over the cube-shaped room. There's a metal table in front of me, carrying a small camera, a notebook and pen, and a microphone. The cop on the other side scratches her neck, eyeing me, hoping I'll say something.I haven't. Not since two days ago when Lena was taken. She sighs. “Mr. Hale, you realise that we can't help if you don't cooperate with us.”So I finally look at her. She flinches. Of course I understand why. The large mirror that stands to my left shows the reason: my reflection. I look haggard, worn. My hair is a mess, and my chin spots days of undergrowth. Dark circles ring my eyes, and my eyes are bloodshot and rimmed with red. My skin is pale, my cheeks sunken. I don't look like a man. I look like a mask that has been overused. “I want to get out of here,” I say, voic
