Celine was utterly baffled. Faye and her son, John, were the only people home, and all of the workers, including the guards, had been given the day off.The house seemed ordinary, nothing out of place, but Celine's heart raced faster and faster as she ascended the stairs to the floor she shared with Ermanno. Her breath caught in her throat when she saw the broken glass scattered across the floor.Fear gripped her as she took cautious steps, avoiding the broken shards of glass that crunched beneath her feet.“What just happened?”Celine's hands trembled as she pulled out her phone, her thumb racing across the screen to call Ermanno."Princess," Ermanno answered, his voice laced with concern."Something happened," Celine whispered, her heart pounding in her chest."What's wrong?" Ermanno demanded, his voice growing more urgent."I just got back and I saw Faye rushing to her car with John, and it looks like someone broke into our house," Celine explained, her voice shaking with fear.Erm

Celine's heart beat faster as she watched Ermanno being led into the courtroom, his appearance shocking her to the core. He was gaunt and pale, the bruises on his body screaming of the harsh treatment he'd been subjected to. Her blood boiled at the sight of him, malnourished and mistreated. And there was Zelda, smug and satisfied, seated with her team, like a vulture waiting to feast on the remains of her victim.Ermanno's eyes sought hers, the glimmer of love and trust still flickering in their depths, despite everything.Celine tried to focus, clinging to every word Mr. Robbins uttered with the fierce determination of a survivor. Her gaze shifted between the lawyer, the judges, and Ermanno, who stood stoically before them."My client's rights have been violated," Mr. Robbins argued, his voice impassioned and clear. "He has been subjected to violent attacks by other inmates, all while the guards turned a blind eye. The treatment he's received is not befitting of a supposedly safe pla

Celine's mind was numb with the shock of it all as she stared at her packed bags, her heart feeling heavier than the suitcases she was about to lug across the world. Her flight to Los Angeles was only a few hours away, and she knew she couldn't back out now.She smiled bitterly, a weak attempt to inject some positivity into this seemingly endless downward spiral. "A fresh start won't hurt," she told herself, forcing a brave face despite the tears threatening to spill over.Just as Celine was steeling herself for her departure, there was a knock at the door. Elena's familiar face appeared, a small smile playing on her lips."Someone's here to see you," she said, her voice tinged with sadness.Celine's brow furrowed in confusion. "Who?" she asked, knowing she hadn't arranged any visitors."He says his name is Mason, and that he's a friend of yours," Elena explained.Celine's face hardened at the mention of Mason's name. She knew he was far from a friend."Tell him to leave," Celine orde

The crowd in the airport began to stir, people turning and scanning their surroundings. Then a voice called out from the back of the crowd: "I see her! I see the blond girl!"“Anyone who brings her to me get a one million dollar rewards. Don’t hurt her, just bring her to me. Thank you.”The announcement of a million-dollar reward sent a wave of shock and greed through the crowd. People's eyes narrowed in determination, the prospect of life-changing money igniting a frenzy.“We found her!” Someone yelled.Celine felt herself lifted off her feet, someone's arm roughly locking around her waist and hoisting her onto a shoulder. "What the fuck?!" she screamed, struggling against her captor. "Put me down, you crazy bastard!"The man, now recognizing the potential goldmine he was carrying, gripped her legs tighter and began to maneuver through the crowd, his prize secured."Sorry, Miss," the man said, "but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do." He grinned as he walked quickly, Celine perc

"My baby, my baby," Mrs. Martins wailed, her heart shattered into a million pieces as she desperately shook her daughter's lifeless body. "Please, Zelda, wake up," she sobbed, her voice raw with anguish. "Don't do this to your mother."Ermanno stood there, helpless and grieving, cradling Zelda's bloodied form in his arms. The silence in the room was heavy with despair, the air thick with sorrow.With a gentleness that belied the strength of his grip, Ermanno held Zelda's body close to his heart, as if he could somehow bring her back through sheer force of will and love. Though his affections for her had never been romantic, she had been a fixture in his life, a constant presence throughout his formative years.Looking up at Mrs. Martins, his eyes brimming with tears, Ermanno whispered, "I'm sorry, ma. I'm so sorry." His voice cracked as he buried his face in Zelda's neck, his whispered apologies a litany of grief.“Please, come back to me…”Ermanno's whispered pleas fell upon deaf ear
