Will You Marry Me? Chapter Thirty One
Inside, Maya’s hands were raw from trying to force the door open. Her shoulder throbbed where she’d slammed into the unmovable frame. Beside her, Star whimpered, clutching Maya’s sleeve, eyes wide and terrified. The gunshots outside sounded like thunder. And then...another sound. A high, slow whistle. It drifted through the silence like a snake in the dark. Maya froze. The whistle turned into a voice. Icy and familiar. "Maaaayaaaaa..." Nico. He was close. Maya's blood ran cold. "Come on, Star!" she hissed, yanking her sister behind her. "We have to move!" Frantic, she scanned the room...there! A narrow, dimly lit hallway, barely noticeable. She bolted toward it, pulling Star with her. Her heart thudded painfully in her chest. But halfway through, she stopped. That sound.... Nico's voice was coming from the same direction. She spun on her heel, dragging Star back. "No...no no no....he’s coming from there!" Another hallway. Another door. They ran. M
Will You Marry Me? Chapter Thirty
Carlos lay still on the cold concrete floor, his heart pounding beneath a mask of unconsciousness. Then he heard a voice say... "We should start beating him before Nico comes. He wants him roughed up," It was from the leader of Nico's loyal men, his voice gravelly and cruel. Carlos’s eyes snapped open. Through his lashes, he saw a boot swinging toward his face. Wrong move. In a blur of speed, Carlos seized the man’s leg mid-air, twisted it hard, and yanked him down. He sprang to his feet, using the man as a shield just as the others opened fire. Bullets tore through the body, but Carlos was already moving. He dropped to a knee, reached beneath his waistband, and drew a silenced pistol. Thwip. Thwip. Thwip. Muffled shots echoed in the room. Four bodies hit the ground, collapsing like puppets with their strings cut. Silence returned. Carlos exhaled, standing over the heap of dead men. He scanned the room—no cameras, no signs of reinforcements yet. He moved quickly
Will You Marry Me? Chapter Twenty Nine
Carlos sat frozen on the other end of the call, every muscle in his body stiff with dread. He heard Nico’s voice....smooth, manipulative, soaked in poison....and something cold slithered through his veins. The venom Nico was feeding Maya about him... it was almost unbearable. But it only deepened Carlos’s belief that he’d done the right thing by confessing everything to her earlier. If he hadn’t, Nico would have sunk his claws in and shattered her trust completely. That thought filled him with a burning rage. And yet, even through the haze of fury, he caught the sharp edges of Maya’s responses. Some of the things she said made his pulse race with fear. She was walking a tightrope in enemy territory, but she hadn’t fallen… she sounded as though she had foolishly fallen into Nico's trap, but she was smarter than that. She had to be smarter than that, right? Then came the voice. Small, fragile, and alone with the enemy. Star. Carlos’s heart cracked open. He could hear her
Will You Marry Me? Chapter Twenty Eight
TWO DAYS AGO The tension in the room was quiet, clinging to the air like fog as Carlos stood by the window, staring out at nothing. “There’s something I need to tell you,” he said suddenly, his voice low... almost afraid. Maya turned from where she sat on the couch. “Okay,” she replied softly. “I’m listening.” But her heart had already become disturbed. The way Carlos spoke… she knew whatever he was about to say would change everything. He walked over, then stood in front of her like a man preparing to step off a cliff. “I grew up in it,” he began, each word weighted and grim. “Violence. Orders. Punishments. I was trained young.... younger than I care to admit. I did things… terrible things. Just to earn my father's approval. I didn’t even understand what I was becoming. I just knew I had to be harder. Meaner. Colder.” Maya stayed silent. Listening. Absorbing. But her fingers had curled around the hem of her sweater. “I broke away,” he went on. “Eventually. I ran. I di
Will You Marry Me? Chapter Twenty Seven
The man walked past Maya, seemingly not interested in her. From the corner of her eye, she saw the man and two more men dragging Carlos toward one of the four looming buildings. They headed for the last one—dark, silent, ominous. No one said a word to her. They all walked away, leaving her in the middle of nowhere. Her heart thudded against her ribcage. She stared at the unfamiliar buildings, trying to calm her breath, unsure of what to do or where to go. Then another man approached...this one older, lean, with a cold smirk playing at the edge of his lips. “Come. Nico’s waiting.” She followed him without protest, her stomach in knots. Every step deeper into the house felt like a descent into something she might never climb out of. The door opened, and they walked into a wide, dimly lit hall. Armed men stood along the walls, machine guns hanging casually from their shoulders like they were part of the decor. Maya tried not to look any of them in the eye. In the center
Will You Marry Me? Chapter Twenty Six
After Maya sent the message to Nico, she returned to the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed. Her heart wouldn’t stop racing. Her hands were clammy, her chest rising and falling too fast. Minutes passed. Then her phone rang. She snatched it up and answered. Nico's voice came through, low and direct. "Everything’s set. Coordinates are secure. You have one hour." Maya's voice shook, but she steadied it. “I’ll be there in an hour.” She hung up. Without wasting a second, she stripped off her clothes and rushed into the bathroom. Her fingers fumbled with the soap. As warm water ran down her skin, she scrubbed herself harder than necessary—like washing off the fear before it settled. She dried quickly, returned to the room, and began dressing. A long black dress and black sneakers. She tied her hair in a bun. No jewelry, nothing that could slow her down. Carlod stirred. “Maya?” His voice was groggy. “Where are you going?” She turned, forcing a smile onto her face. “I
