Wingless Chapter 29. Settling Debt
29. Settling DebtZeph's POVI thought throwing punches and slamming the sandbag into the ground would take the edge off. It might keep things from boiling over.All I could see was Ximara shaking, broken, angry, and bleeding behind her eyes.Even if I didn't press the knife against her wrist, I could have been the one to hand it her. And I can't shake the guilt. Her words weren’t just grief. They were truth. Somewhere along the line, I became another ghost haunting her.She did not attempt suicide solely for Remus' sake. She also did it because of me.Unable to concentrate, I went back to my office and sat at my desk. I kept clicking my pen and stabbing it against the paper, pretending it was him—the bastard who thought he could touch what was mine. My peaches. My only goddamn softness.I didn’t have to wait long. My phone turned on."Sir," Tyler responded. "We have Remus. I've got him in the basement. There are no scratches, as you requested."I didn’t answer. That was the call I ha
Wingless Chapter 28. The Breaking Point
28. The Breaking PointThird Person's POVLike any other day, Zeph was at the gym, finishing up his chest workout, but his attention was not on the barbell in his hands. His gaze kept flickering to the door, waiting.Waiting for her. But Ximara didn’t show.Something had been bothering him ever since the Remus incident. He had seen the stiffness in her movements and the emptiness in her eyes when they had crossed paths that day. Something felt very off at the time. He wished to speak up and apologize for his absence. However, the look on her face held him back.He didn't know back then. But now he did. And that changed everything.Zeph was not the type of man to sit around and do nothing. He had already started the process by using all of his resources and pulling every string. Now it was just a matter of timing. When he eventually finds Remus, he should pray for mercy. Because Zeph would not provide any.Tyler had promised to bring Remus, and Zeph trusted his word. But Zeph hadn’t be
Wingless Chapter 27. Rage
27. RageZeph's POVI was pacing around my room after finishing my shower when the doorbell rang. I looked at my watch; it was past 9:30 p.m. My first thought was Tyler. He might have received the information I requested, but he wouldn't have unexpectedly arrived. It was not his style.I put on a T-shirt and track pants and headed for the door. I froze the moment I opened it.Alister stood there, visibly rattled. My stomach twisted."Is everything okay, Mr. Alister?" I asked right away, and before I could stop myself, worry crept into my voice."Zeph, I need your help," he said in a strained voice."Of course. What happened?" I asked quickly, stepping aside to allow him in. "I hope it's nothing serious. You look... troubled."He nodded vaguely, as if trying to collect his thoughts. "Remember the other day when I asked you to drop off some legal documents for me?""Yes," I answered slowly, keeping a close eye on him. Where was this going?"Well, I need to see the lawyer again. Somethin
Wingless Chapter 26. Assault
26. AssaultXimara's POVContent warning: This chapter contains explicit and sensitive content about sexual assault and suicide. Some readers may find these topics distressing. Reader discretion is strongly advised.I managed to push him away from my body, hopped off the bed, and quickly bolted towards the door, trying to fidget with it, but as I dreaded, it was locked from inside.Remus was trying to pull me away from the door. My dress was torn, my skin bruised from the endless punches he'd thrown, and his nails left bloody gouges where he clawed at me."Leave me alone! Just let me go!" I pleaded with him one last time.But he just laughed. "No, Ximara. We’ve waited long enough. I wanted to be patient and wait until the wedding, but not anymore," he growled, trapping me between his body and the door. He began grinding against me, making my stomach twist with nausea.My fingers fumbled for the door handle, my heart pounding against my ribs. Panic blurred my vision, but I forced mysel
Wingless Chapter 25. Ruthless
25. RuthlessZeph's POVAt ZAC Innovations, my office was designed to be unbreakable. However, it felt like the walls were closing in, as if something had already slipped through.Someone leaked our jet designs to the vultures at Aeroflights. I couldn't stop thinking about it. Designs for which I had made enormous sacrifices were leaked.Tyler entered the room as I paced it, feeling betrayed and angry."I got him," he said, dropping a large file on my desk.I reached for it without thinking and opened it. Mid-level engineer Evan Kessler was not well-known at the company. The kind of person who thought he could simply disappear."Where is he?" I asked, my voice tightening as I gripped the file.Tyler stayed calm. “In the basement, I picked him up an hour ago.”Then, almost casually, he added, “He quit ZAC over a month ago. Probably thought that would keep him off our radar.”He was wrong. When I say I want to find someone, I don’t care how long it takes or what it takes; you bring them
Wingless Chapter 24. Evil Intentions
24. Evil IntentionsThird Person's POVSurrounded by family members who had come to witness the ceremony—or, as it seemed to her, the silent burial of her dreams—Ximara stood rigidly in the grand hallway.She wore a modest blue dress that her mother had picked out. Ximara didn't care enough to have a say. Given that today appeared to be worse than the day she might die, how could she? The man she was going to be engaged to was standing across from her. Remus. His overgrown beard and gray streaks made him appear much older than he actually was. Bitterly, she thought Alister appeared younger and more vibrant than him.Her gaze shifted to the front row, landing on Alister. His face was tight with disappointment. He had made every effort to put an end to this, including arguments and pleas. He had promised that he would not let her throw her life away. But in the end, she had insisted.In a way, it was her decision.Somewhere deep inside, Ximara began to believe she deserved nothing bette
