91. If she dies

91. If she dies — . Young Mikolaj . — - 20 years ago - Harsh fluorescent light of the hospital corridor casts a sterile glow over my face as I stare at the white wall in front of me. It’s been five days since Mama has been fighting for her life. It’s hard to look at her. Despite the constant anxiety, I am confident that she will recover. My phone vibrates in my pocket, and I take it out. The name flashing on screen puts a sour taste in my mouth as I press the red button. I never imagined I would ever feel this bitter about her. Maria told me Lena’s parents came to see my mother. But Lena wasn’t with them. Phone vibrates once more with a text message and I switch it off, stuffing it where it belongs as I see a nurse approaching me. “Hi…” I get up, as she glances at me from head to toe and asks, “The doctor would like to have a word with you in the morning. He will be here around nine.” Fucking finally. I don’t know what their problem is, but I have an inkling they are avoiding me

92. Vanish

92. Vanish- . Riley . -It feels surreal to stand amidst Camilla’s opulent gathering, surrounded by strangers. I wasn’t expecting an invite. Hell, I wasn’t even anticipating any event because Mikolaj gave her a relieving party a few days back in office.This evening, when Mikolaj told me to get ready, I imagined it would be a small gathering or something. Not a freaking gala. My fingers brush the fabric of my dress, feeling the softness of silk under my fingertips. Not so bad for this event, but a heads up would’ve been nice. Not that I would ask him. I have adopted a no talk policy with Mikolaj. I am not gonna break it for a damn dress.“You look lost!” A voice brings me out of my trance and I blink. Is she talking to me? My eyes swim over Camilla’s stunning midnight blue gown. She looks beautiful as her dress shimmers under the soft glow of the chandelier above us.I look lost because I have been forced into a party I don’t belong to. But I cannot admit this to her. So I say instea

93. Urge to hold

93. Urge to hold. Mikolaj . -“I don’t know where she is,” Jonas says, and I shoot him a sharp glare.“What do you mean?”“I mean…. I’m not her damn babysitter!” he retorts, glaring right back at me.His words ring eerily familiar, echoing the incident when he lost Riley at a fundraiser party months ago. Though this time, I can’t fault him. It’s on me. I instructed him to keep her entertained so she wouldn’t get bored.My silence prompts him to continue, and he says, “We kinda had a disagreement.”“Disagreement?”He shrugs, almost childishly. “An argument… She was being mean. So I showed her I could be meaner.”A flicker of concern flits through my mind, but I dismiss it. “Sometimes I wonder who’s more challenging to handle… You or Jessie.”“Well, I learn from you.”It was my oversight to assume she wouldn’t hold a grudge against Jonas. With a sigh, I instruct him to take Jessie home while I search for Riley. Thankfully, he complies without complaint.… …Something similar happened

94. Not a hotel

94. Not a hotelI stroll into the corridor to see if I can spot a caterer. None. Riley chose this room at the far end and there aren’t many partygoers lingering in this wing. I have no choice but to call Camilla. To my luck, she picks up. “Miko?” Camilla says in an extra chirpy voice. “Guess what? You can’t boss me around anymore.”I snort. The past few days she told me many times—teasingly—that she cannot wait to stop seeing my face.“If you are happy, I am happy.”“What is it?”With a slight turn of my head towards the bathroom, I realize the water is running. Is Riley taking a freaking bath?Pinching the bridge of my nose, I explain the situation, and Camilla giggles. I am not sure what’s funny about it. Or maybe she is intoxicated too.“Don’t worry, I will send food along with some stuff for the stay,” she says, and I frown.“I have no plans to stay.”“Just in case…” she sings and cuts the call.Then It dawns on me… I can’t take Riley outside without the paparazzi swarming in the

95. Don’t leave your drinks… unattended

- . Riley . - My throat feels dry as Sahara as I peek open my eyes, struggling to spot anything in the darkness. I fumble for the water glass on the bedside table with no success. Where the hell am I? Flickering on the lamp, I wince at the light. Oh. ‘Not a hotel’. I reach for the glass, half dazed, but my hand misses the mark, knocking it over. I groan as water cascades onto the floor. “You okay?” Miko is half asleep as he asks. Isn’t it obvious I am not okay? “Need some fucking water,” I mutter, dragging myself across the bed, climbing over Mikolaj’s sleeping form. There is water on his side. “Whoa!” His drowsy eyes widen with surprise as he attempts to sit up, only to freeze halfway as I maneuver past him. Grabbing the water from his side, I drink greedily. “Water never tasted this good before,” I sigh. “Now that you are awake… Should we head home?” he asks, his deep, velvety voice echoing the warmth that matches the gentle glow of the lamp. I steal a glance off his handsome

96. Missing

96. Missing. Mikolaj . -“Jessie…” I sigh, catching her pout as we stroll through our neighborhood. We had plans to visit a friend, but she changed her mind, captivated by a cute puddle—her words, not mine. Now she’s dragging her feet at snail’s pace while it’s drizzling. Instead of hurrying her along, I simply watch her. Perhaps that’s the essence of parenthood. Slow down and savor the rain.At least she isn’t cranky right now. That’s something. Ever since Riley left, Jessie has been difficult. I had anticipated this and almost asked her to stay longer. But it was written all over her face that she was desperate to get away from me. So I didn’t stop her. Our last night together was a cherished memory, and I wanted to keep it this way. With no fights or bitter words.My phone rings. As I pull it out, I notice an unknown number flashing on the screen. Typically, I wouldn’t, but something compels me to pick it up. “Mr Josef, this is Natalie.” After a brief pause, she adds, “I am Riley’

97. Seven

97. Seven. Mikolaj . -Guess what’s worse than someone being missing for five days? Try seven. Riley Adams has now been gone for a full week while the cops are wasting time chasing wrong leads. I have all the resources. Yet, I’ve never felt this helpless. Their interference is deterring me from figuring out her whereabouts.The morning they searched my house, the fuckers detained me for eight hours. I should have kept my mouth shut. It’s obvious they knocked on my door that early because they were hoping I would be sleepy and not 100% right in my head. Probable-cause for my detention was—the victim’s belongings found hidden in a bag. M0therfuckers. “What kind of stupid criminal keeps the evidence right in their house.” I had asked them.“You would be amazed if you look at the stats.” That smug tall officer had told me.They weren’t wrong. Bag indeed looked like it was stuffed in a hurry. Still, the statement itself sent a chill down my spine. They were treating it as if she was dead.

98. Manacled

98. Manacled. Riley . -Rough texture of the makeshift pillow pokes against my back as I gaze out at the foggy window. I wish I could get up and clean the dust to steal a glance outside. I don’t even know if there are any trees around. Hearing the occasional honks and chatter of people, I can tell I’m somewhere in a city. But…If that’s true, why does no one responds to my pleas for help? Maybe there is no chatter, and I am imagining everything.The cold bites through the thin blanket I have wrapped around me, doing little to keep the chill at bay. Shivering, I clutch it tighter to find some warmth in the freezing room. The first night I gained consciousness, I thought it was a cabin. Only that could explain the wooden wall and ceiling with no color or polish on it. Then I realized it’s a half done house, a makeshift dwelling to keep me captive.A strong urge to itch the wound on my wrist takes over, and I wiggle in my spot to distract myself. I have been trying to relieve the pressur

99. Avenged

AvengedRiley -Chill has seeped into my bones, making the simple task of removing my shirt way harder. My manacled wrist is to blame too. Scarlet wanted to help, but Tank dragged her out, throwing me an evil smirk. He knew no one would help and West didn’t care. The fact that he was right made me cry. I wasted quite some time sobbing and now my body is shuddering with cold. So fuckin stupid. I should use my head instead of sobbing like a child. The thought makes me cry harder.Shoving the worst thoughts away, I take several minutes to remove my clothes. Once I am done, the tshirt hangs near my cuffed wrist. I am tired, my eyes heavy with sleep. A strange sense of calmness takes over as I scoot towards a dry spot and lie by my side.“Nyet. Ne spi. Don’t sleep!” I hear Scarlet’s frantic voice as I drift in and out of my dreamy state. “Andrei!” she yells out. God… Why is she being so loud? She taps my face and I pull away from her, annoyed. “Andrei!”“CHTO?” someone snaps at her, mak

100. Past

100. Past. Mikolaj . -Russia? This is implausible.“What are the chances that the location is incorrect?”“Well… If they used something to fake the location… We will figure it out. But the phone is off now.”My chest is constrained as I say, “Let’s figure that out before drawing the conclusions.” I don’t want to imagine what situation she is in right now. Raylan cuts the call as I turn my attention to her parents.“Was it about Riley?” Lena asks with a twinkle of hope in her eyes.“Her phone was switched on in Russia. We are figuring out how true that is.”“What?” she exclaims as panic spreads across her face. “Where in Russia?”“She doesn’t have a freaking passport. How will she exit the country?” Garrett cuts her. “It’s next to impossible for someone to reach that far after crossing borders in a freaking week.”Unless she tagged along willingly…Lena picks up her phone and presses it to her ear. Her expression quickly falls as she mutters, “It’s switched off.”“I have a team on th
