Her sneakers felt magical at that moment because she was running faster than wind. Even when the possibility of death was closing in, she was enthusiastic about her freedom. There was freedom in chaos and she was relishing it.She ran like there was no tomorrow.When she took a sharp turn into an alley for a shortcut to the mansion, she could see the men as two dark blurry figures, still running towards her. The alley was long, narrow and filled with dumpster cans but she didn’t even hesitate a step.Kate jumped across all the obstacles like she was some character in a video game. Her young body was still energetic, even after jumping above all 13 huge obstructions one by one. The end of the alley lead to another one and she ran into it without thinking because the heavy footsteps of the men were crisp in the quiet space. They weren’t that far behind.This alley was a bit wider but her hope dimmed for a second when she spotted something massive blocking her way. No, it wasn’t a dead e

Quisito’s men who were present at the zoo hours before he and Kate had arrived came out of their positions and began searching for her along with him.He had to ensure her safety, but at the same time he wanted to make her feel comfortable in public, so he had ordered his men to stay concealed and only come out in case of an attack. But this wasn’t an attack; It was a much worse emergency because she could easily get kidnapped while she wasn’t under his shadow. It was impossible to escape the keen vision of his trained men and yet somehow, she managed to disappear. He was getting frustrated every passing second because he was standing next to her the whole time and had no clue when she swapped places with the girl who wore the identical outfit.While searching for her next to a fountain, his gut told him to look to his left side and when he did, his eyes found her standing inside a cage, staring down at something intently.“She is unbelievable...” he ran a hand down his face in exasp

The unexpected act of hers almost threw him off balance but after a moment of pause, he reciprocated the kiss with equal fervor. He cupped the back of her head and deepened the kiss, his tongue dancing along with hers. They closed their eyes and gave themselves completely into the passion of the moment. The whirlwind of heat that erupted from the all-consuming kiss enveloped her like wings of fire and she wanted more. One of her hands travelled up to his groin where he was sporting a semi hard erection. Her fumbling fingers stroked the bulge and gave it a light squeeze through his pants, making him growl into her mouth. Quisito got the cue of what she wanted and he was more than ready to give it to her. He would do anything to help her. He stood up by picking her along with him. Looping an arm around her waist, he wrapped her legs around his body, without breaking the kiss. After locking the door in a haste, he walked them to a wooden countertop with a mirror and placed her on it.

Kate bit her lip and frantically shook her head from side to side, silently begging for the man’s mercy when he dropped his belt on the cold floor.He was about to undo his pants too, when suddenly, an explosion shook the building, forcing Placebo stop whatever he was doing and turn his attention to the locked room of the door.He was expecting a fight, but he wasn’t expecting it to occur anytime soon. According to his calculation, he still had a good two hours.Another explosion pulled at the foundations of the building and Kate trembled violently at its impact. She had no idea what was going on, but Placebo did.It was the explosions caused from bombs that were dropped from airborne helicopters.He didn’t have any helicopters...Then, who was doing it?The bravado face Placebo had a few minutes ago vanished into thin air. He looked more tensed than ever because he was the one on whose command the army had to launch the attack, but now it seemed like the rift has already begun, withou

(Past) Three days ago, at Placebo’s place.... *Violence ahead By the time Quisito retreated to the warzone, the fight was at its climax and his men were winning the battle. Placebo may only have asked for a fight, but Quisito brought him a war because he dared to lay finger on someone Quisito couldn’t even imagine getting hurt. Her impulsive words had hit him unexpectedly, but he swallowed the agony they were creating inside his chest and focused on giving his men instructions, like a great leader should. In between the fight, he had to discard the bullet proof vest and as expected, he suffered many injuries across his chest by the time the fight ended. The Don’s men slaughtered all the enemies, except one. Placebo. They captured him while he attempted to escape by shooting one of his legs. But he was alive and conscious, just like Quisito had wanted. He was splayed across the ground in ‘X’ manner, his hands and legs tied with rusty chains and stretched to the four corners of
