Honey. Lorenzo had kept his words. He had let me used one of his private jet to travel to meet my family. All through the flight, I was feeling nervous and excited at the same time. This was the first time in forever that I will be finally seeing my parents and couldn’t wait to give my father the gift I had got him at the shoe store. Yes, Lorenzo had gone to collect it for me from the shoe store. I still wasn’t free around Lorenzo, but I was starting to believe he was changing for the better. I clenched the gift box in my hand, smiling. When I got to the restaurant Lorenzo had booked for my father’s birthday party, I rushed inside. My Mom, Dad and Amelia were seated, anxiously waiting for me. The moment they saw me, they all stood up and came to hug me. When my father embraced me, I broke down in his arms. “Honey, what’s wrong?” He pulled back and looked at me with concern. I smiled and stopped myself from crying. I don’t know why I was crying when I was finally given a chance to

Honey. I dragged my face along something cold. My head throbbed as pain rippled through my body. I opened my eyes and looked around my surroundings. My hands were cuffed to a pole and I was in a room filled with barrels and bottles. It looked like an underground cellar. The whole thing that had happened prior to this moment flooded my mind and I whimpered as I remembered how the building had erupted in flame, exploding on those I had loved. The thought that I could have been one of them made me feel guilty for being alive. Tears burned my eyes as I sobbed quietly in the dark room. I rested on the solid pole and dragged my body along it as I tried to sit up. The door to the cellar opened. Heavy footsteps resonated in the dark room as someone walked inside. Turning, I looked at my captor and my heart slammed heavily in my chest when I saw who he was. I shook my head, backing myself up the pole. Why had he kidnapped me? He was a close ally of my boyfriend so why had he betrayed

Honey It felt like I had been in the car for a long time before I saw a hand reaching out to me from the other side of the car. I was carried out of the car. Relief flooded across my whole body like I was swept by the ocean at the thought that someone came to rescue me. I looked up to see the face of my savior, but my vision was blurred. I was taken to another car before I finally gave in to the darkness surrounding me. When I woke up, the first thing I felt was a sharp pain at the side of my head. I groaned, dragging my face along something cold. My head throbbed as pain rippled through my body. I opened my eyes and looked around my surroundings. My hands were cuffed to a pole and I was in a dark room filled with barrels and bottles, the only light sneaking into the room was from the closed windows. Even though I wasn’t able to see everything clearly, the room looked like an underground cellar. The whole thing that had happened prior to this moment flooded my mind and I whimper

Honey. Joel had taken me to a lush room at the second floor of the mansion. He opened the door and waited for me to enter the room. “Here is the room you will be staying in. You can check around to see if it matches your taste.”I didn’t know why they were acting nice, but it was better than Lorenzo had ever treated me so I was thankful for that. I wandered around the room, taking in its beautiful outline and features, but my mind was occupied. I didn’t want to be here, I wanted to be with my family. I had no idea what could have happened after that explosion and I just prayed nothing bad had happened to them. Michael told me he had sent his men to look over their condition, I hope he brings good news. Maybe during the dinner, I could ask Michael to let me go and see them. Something told me he wouldn’t let me out of his sight until Lorenzo agreed to do whatever Michael wanted him to do. In other words, that meant Michael was using me as a pawn to lure Lorenzo into doing something. I

Honey.Everyone looked at me when they heard what Michael had said. I hated to be kept in the spotlight so it made me feel more exposed. I stretched my hand to the drink, still contemplating whether I should drink it or not. “I’m not really tasty,” I said with a forced smile, hoping Michael will ignore me and continue with his dinner. His face darkened. “You have to drink it.”Now that he was forcing me to drink it, I was more reluctant to drink it. Did Michael have someone put something in my drink? He couldn't be trying to kill me or something, he still needed me in order to get Lorenzo to cooperate so what could possibly be in this drink and why does he so badly want me to drink it?Still trying to maintain the forced smile on my face, I picked up the glass. The sooner I get this done the better. Whatever was in this drink, I hope it wasn’t harmful.I gulped the drink down and to my surprise, it tasted like grape and something sweet and smooth. “Now, that’s better,” the smile I
