LUCIA

My heart sped up in my chest as a loud gasp escaped my lips. Why in the world did Jeremy have to show up now of all times when I was in the restaurant?

I lowered my head instantly, covering half of my face with my hair and hoping that he had not spotted me yet.

My eyes followed Jeremy and his friends, and I watched as they made their way to a table amidst laughter and chatter. I recognized two of his friends as students of my class, and it made my heart sink even lower.

I couldn’t be seen here. I didn’t want any unnecessary interactions. I ate the rest of my food in a hurry, paid for the meal, and quickly slipped out of the restaurant.

I thought I was in the clear, but to my utmost dismay, it had already begun raining outside, and unfortunately, I didn’t come with an umbrella.

“Oh shit!” I exclaimed, standing outside the restaurant and unable to step into the rain or go back into the restaurant because of Jeremy. I was stuck.

I let out a loud sigh, running my fingers through my

    LUCIAI wanted to do something nice for the Hales to show my appreciation for what they had done for me, but I had no idea what to do.This was a family of billionaires, and there was nothing I could buy for them that they wouldn’t be able to buy for themselves.Jeremy’s parents seemed to love the photo album I gifted them the first time, but I didn’t know if I would be able to give them something they would appreciate a second time. I was currently brainstorming on what the perfect gift could be, but I kept coming up short. It was just me and Thomas and I that were currently in the mansion.Jeremy had left for a musical performance, and when I suggested going with him, he insisted that I stayed home and rested.Aaron and his parents had also gone to work, and those three also treated me like I was fragile, insisting that I stay home and rest when it was quite obvious that I was fine.I was extremely bored, and when I couldn’t take it anymore, I decided to pay Beth a quick visit.“He

    LUCIAThe next couple of hours after Jeremy and Aaron saved me, I went by in a blur. Jeremy and I were rushed to a hospital, and after I was placed on medications, I drifted off to sleep. By the time I woke up, all my cuts and bruises had been bandaged, and I felt a lot better.My eyes darted around the hospital room, and the strong smell of disinfectants instantly wafted its way into my nostrils, making me cringe.I hated everything about hospitals, especially its smell, but at that moment, I was just glad to be alive. I was adjusting my blanket over my body when I had a soft knock on the door.“Come in.” I answered, looking towards the door.The door opened slightly, and Jeremy poked his head into the room with a small smile on his face, which in turn put a smile on my face.“Jeremy!” I exclaimed, attempting to get out of bed, but he quickly rushed towards me, eyes wide as he flailed his hands wildly.“No, no. You don’t need to get up.” In seconds, he was by my side, helping me g

    JEREMY“Lucia!” I bellowed without thinking, instantly dashing in the direction where the scream came from.I could feel my heart pounding furiously against my chest as blood rushed through my ears. “Lucia! Lucia!” I yelled, all thoughts of going in quietly thrown out the window. I rushed through the cabin, and I was alarmed that it had more rooms than I expected. “Let’s split up. We’ll be able to find her faster that way.” I heard Aaron say, and I barely nodded as I continued dashing forward, sweat trickling down my brow. “Where is she? Where is she?” I whispered to myself, tearing open all the doors I encountered in a haste. I was so focused on finding Lucia at that moment that I barely sensed that someone was behind me.When I finally noticed, I assumed it was Aaron, and I was about to turn around when I felt a sharp pain sear through my head. Whoever it was had hit me from behind, the horrific sound echoing around the cabin.A pained groan escaped my lips as I sank to the gro

    JEREMYAt that moment, I was too worried about Lucia’s well-being to even second guess Aaron’s idea. If involving dad was going to save her life, then I wouldn’t think twice before doing it.I began to click on my phone, but Aaron’s hand stopped me.“Don’t worry. I’ll speak to him. You are not in the right frame of mind.” He said, giving me a wary look as his eyes darted towards my hands, which trembled so much.I let out a loud sigh, running my fingers through my hair. “Yeah. Sorry.” Aaron’s face turned sympathetic as he placed his hand on my shoulder in a comforting manner. “We’ll do everything we can to find her, alright?” His words did not do much to soothe my nerves, but I was glad that he was at least trying. “Alright.” I answered with a nod, and I simply watched as he proceeded to call that. The fact that I was standing around, doing nothing was extremely agitating, and when I couldn’t take it anymore, I began pacing around the room while Aaron spoke to dad.After a few min

    JEREMYMy body grew cold as ice as I just stood in the middle of Lucia’s hotel room with different thoughts running through my head.What in the world could have happened? Where was Lucia?My eyes slowly grew wide as I thought of a certain possibility. Could it be Connor? Did he do this?If it was him, then there was a huge chance Lucia was in danger.“No. No. No,” I muttered to myself, dashing out of the room in her daze, my heart racing in my chest and my eyes wide with horror.“Please be safe, Lucia. Please be safe.” I instantly pulled out my phone and called the only person I could think of at that moment. Aaron.Thankfully, he picked up on the first ring like he knew how urgent the situation was. “Aaron, I need you at the Grand Hotel now. Something’s wrong. I think Connor took Lucia.” “I’ll be there in five minutes.” Aaron answered calmly, no questions asked. I barely heard the line disconnect as I raced out of the room, into the elevator.“Come on.” I breathed, pressing the

    LUCIATears spilled down my eyes as Connor’s grip on my hair grew even tighter. I was trying to be brave, but now it had cost me.“You stupid bitch. How dare you speak to me like that?!” He growled, his eyes icy as hell as flung me against the ground.A loud scream escaped my lips as I landed on my elbow and I would be lucky if I didn’t shatter something at that point. I was in extreme pain, but Connor was not done with me. He kept hitting me and then kicked me, driving out all the air in my lungs.He drove his feet into my stomach and another loud scream escaped my lips as more tears streamed down my face. “Please, stop, Connor! Please!” I cried, all the bravery I felt earlier seeping out of my body. Thankfully Connor stopped and he slowly squatted next to me, a sick smile playing at the corners of his lips. He roughly grabbed my chin and pulled my face close to his. “Will you do whatever I tell you to do now?” I simply stared at him, clamping my mouth shut as more tears glisten
