Seth's PovWatching Lotus suffer was unbearable. As her pregnancy progressed, the attacks on her life became more frequent and more violent. Each time, I felt a sense of helplessness as I couldn't protect her and our unborn child. I could see the fear in her eyes every time she was attacked, and it tore me apart.At first, I couldn't believe that Dalia could be the one behind the attacks. She had been a close friend to Lotus after i brought her to the mansion, and it seemed impossible that she would try to harm Lotus or our baby. But as the attacks continued, I began to suspect that Dalia was the one responsible. It was as if she was trying to harm the baby, to hurt Lotus in the worst way possible.When Lotus came to me two days ago, gasping for air and clutching her belly in pain, my heart sank. It was clear that the attacks were becoming more frequent and more severe, and I didn't know how much longer we could go on like this. I felt helpless and angry at the same time - angry at wh

Lotus PovI woke up with a start and immediately felt a wave of panic wash over me. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my eyes strained to see through the complete darkness that surrounded me. I tried to move my arms, but they wouldn't budge. That's when I realized my hands were tied tightly behind my back.I struggled to break free, but the ropes were too tight. They dug painfully into my skin, making me feel helpless and trapped. I tried to calm myself down and think rationally, but it was difficult. I couldn't remember how I got here or who had brought me here.As my eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, I realized that I was in a small, windowless room with no lights. The air was stale, and the silence was eerie. I could hear my own breathing and the sound of my racing heart in my ears. It felt like I had been left there to die.How had I ended up in this room? Who were my captors? And most importantly, what did they want from me?I tried to scream, but the cloth gag in my

Lotus PovI woke up with a start and immediately felt a wave of relief wash over me. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my eyes strained to see through the dim light that surrounded me. I tried to move my arms, but they wouldn't budge. That's when I realized my hands were tied tightly behind my back.I heard footsteps approaching, and my heart rate picked up again. But then I heard a familiar voice calling out my name. "Lotus? Are you in here?" It was Seth's voice. I couldn't believe it. Was he really here?"Seth!" I tried to call out, but my voice was weak from being gagged for so long. The door opened, and Seth rushed in. He quickly untied my hands and removed the gag from my mouth."Lotus, are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with concern."I'm weak and hungry," I admitted, feeling the baby inside me kick with hunger. "They left me to die here."Seth helped me up, and I felt dizzy. The room spun around me, and everything went black.When I came to, I was lying in a comfort

Lotus's PovI turned a corner and saw a figure in the distance. Panic set in, and I froze. Was it the Mastermind? Was I about to be kidnapped again? As the figure got closer, I realized it was only one of the guards. He looked at me curiously and asked if everything was alright. I nodded, trying to hide the fear in my eyes.The guard continued on his patrol, and I breathed a sigh of relief. But the feeling of unease lingered. I wondered if the Mastermind was watching me right now, biding their time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. I knew I couldn't let my guard down, not even for a second.As I continued my walk, I thought about Seth. He had promised to keep me safe, but was that enough? Could he truly protect me from someone as cunning as the Mastermind? I knew I had to trust him, but it was hard after everything I had been through.I finally made my way back to my room, and as I sat down on the bed, I felt a sense of exhaustion wash over me. The constant fear and paranoia

Lotus's PovThe sight of the figure pointing at me made my heart race. Who was it? Was it someone trying to harm me? I was starting to feel paranoid. I quickly closed my window and locked it. I then made my way to my bed, but my mind was still racing with thoughts. Who could it be? Was it someone who had access to my room? I had heard about people being able to disappear into thin air, but I never believed it until now.I sat on my bed, thinking about what to do. I decided to call Seth, but then I remembered that he had told me not to call anyone. I hesitated but then decided to take a chance. I dialed Seth's number and waited for him to pick up."Seth, I saw someone outside my window," I said, trying to keep my voice steady."What? Are you sure?" Seth asked."Yes, I saw a figure standing in the dark corner pointing at me. And then it disappeared," I said, my voice trembling."Stay calm, Seth. I'll be there in a few minutes. Don't open the door for anyone, okay?" Seth said.Lotus hung
