EmilyHe sauntered there for a while before his stiff face melted into a smile. It felt like seeing the girls torturing themselves with fear gave him his share of peace. I didn't think he was ready to face the girls with their fear written all over their faces. The fear in their eyes only made it easy for men like this to prey on them. He came closer to me as he knew me earlier; there was something on his face that felt like I was deeply content with him. It was clear that he might have known me, and she had told me that he sorta had this flare of knowing these girls personally before giving them off or allowing them to stay kidnapped. They were running a successful ring and it pissed me even more to think that all of these were happening right under our roses. I wanted to protest as he treated the girls even worse. He kept choosing them and everything that they were clinging to tell before their eyes. I wanted to help them in the ways that I could but she held my hands down, stoppi

Emily"We are never going to leave here." With the way this place is made, it was difficult to actually be optimistic about leaving here. I had nothing else to do, with the amount of girls that do not return I doubt that I was ever going to see the light of day. That my baby was ever going to make it out of me alive. The only friend I had made, sighed watching me as the reality of this place finally sinked in ."What was your life like outside this place, apart from being married to a billionaire." I grimaced, urging her to keep her voice down. It was bad enough that I had been suspected of being someone else. From the way, they look at me, the guards, it's only a matter of time before they dragged me out of here, facing the doom that's outside of here. I didn't want to know what that was like and at the same fucking time, I didn't want to stay here either."You are going to get me in trouble." I whispered to her, tilting my head low so no one hears me. "We are already in trouble.

Emily I sat in the corner of the cold, damp cell, my arms wrapped around my knees as my stomach twisted painfully with hunger. Days had passed since they last gave me food. The walls felt like they were closing in, suffocating me with the weight of hopelessness. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Cedric’s face, his cold, indifferent stare as he signed the contract that bound me to him.I had been a pawn, given up for my father’s freedom. Cedric never wanted me. He made that clear. And now, carrying his child—our child—I was more unwanted than ever. He had never wanted this child. This baby was just as much an inconvenience to him as I had been.The door to my cell creaked open, breaking the silence. I didn’t look up immediately, but I knew who it was before he spoke. The man I had stabbed. The man who had tried to take from me what I refused to give.“Well, well,” he sneered. “Look at you. So pitiful now, aren’t you?”I didn’t respond, keeping my eyes downcast. I wouldn’t give him th

Cedric The stress was beginning to eat away at me. Every passing day without Emily felt like sand slipping through my fingers. She had been my ticket to everything—wealth, power, and respect. And now, she was gone. The irony of it all wasn’t lost on me. I’d once imagined the day I’d be free of her, free to enjoy the benefits of everything she brought into my life without having to deal with the baggage of our arranged marriage. But now, with her disappearance, I realized how desperately I needed her back. Not out of love—I wasn’t foolish enough to call it that—but because without Emily, everything I’d built was at risk of collapsing.My affair with Celine wasn’t helping either. If anything, it was making things worse. The physical distraction wasn’t enough to chase away the thoughts that plagued me at night. Emily was always there, in my mind, in my dreams, and haunting me during the day. No matter how many times I found myself in Celine’s arms, it was Emily’s absence that kept haunt

EmilyThe kiss was soft, almost gentle, and for a moment, I let myself sink into the warmth of Elliot’s embrace. His lips pressed against mine, a familiar comfort I had been starved of for so long. It felt like a balm, soothing the chaos inside me, like nothing else mattered except his touch. For those few seconds, I let go of everything—Cedric, the fear, the nightmare I had escaped from.But then, as quickly as the calm had come, a flash of memory pierced through the haze. Faces of the other girls—terrified, helpless—appeared in my mind. I couldn’t ignore them. I saw them again, huddled in that dark room, their muffled cries still echoing in my ears.My heart clenched painfully, and I pushed Elliot away, breaking the kiss. His eyes widened in surprise, searching mine for an explanation.“I can’t,” I said, my voice shaky as I pulled further away from him. “I can’t do this right now.”“Emily, what’s wrong?” he asked, frowning.I shook my head, my thoughts too scrambled to explain every
