All Chapters of Maddest Temptation : Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

SashaI walk into the jail reception area with Dimitri and Sergei. We are trailed by three guards. Sergei walks up to the glass window at the office. “I would like to see Roman Petrov please,” he announces.“Sure, just a minute,” the receptionist replies flatly. She types and reads something on her computer monitor.“He has a visitor with him now,” she informs us.Sergei’s eyes flick back to us. Who would be visiting him?Maybe the kidnapper, someone after a ransom. “Can I go in?” Sergei mutters as he gestures to the door.“No, only one visitor at a time. You will have to wait,” she replies in a monotone voice.Sergei nods and takes a seat next to us. “Who would be visiting him?” he whispers quietly.“I don’t know,” Dimitri whispers furiously.I sit back in my chair nervously, fuck, it should be the kidnappers so this nightmare can come to an end for Rome.This is like a movie, but worse.“Do we know what all the people who have a grudge to settle with Rome looks like?”

ANA I pace backwards and forwards in my room as I try to work out who has me captive and what the motive is. It’s been twenty-four hours and nothing has been said to me other than don’t make Boris angry or he will hurt me. They gave me a blood transfusion. Why? Why are they keeping me alive? They must be going to ask for money but according to the television reports Roman is still in hospital. Maybe Sasha is organising the money? I have seen Sergei on television at the hospital, and he looks frantic. It’s seriously not worth having money to go through this. I hear the key in the door and I stand back in fear near the bathroom door. The young man puts his head around the door and gives me a stifled smile and then picks the tray up off the ground and brings it in. “Lunchtime, for you Ana.” he says gently. I stand still watching him. What the hell is he doing here? He’s a nice guy, I can tell. “Can I look at your arm please?” he asks kindly. I swallow my fea

SashaMy eyes flick to Nikolai in the front seat as Dimitri drives us to Miami Penitentiary. We are worried sick. Roman has been in prison for nine days and has refused to see us. We have driven the hour and a half each day to the prison only to be turned away. What’s going on with him? Why won’t he see us?We are all going through the case notes and following up every lead that we can but without knowing if Rome is ok we are all struggling. I have offered Lucas a role to stay on and help us. He was due to go back to his life yesterday and wait up on his daughter's burial but his input and insight into the case has been helpful. And, besides, I hate to admit it, but I actually like the guy. He’s uncultured and rough and raw and brutally honest.These are good qualities that we so desperately need at this delicate time.when we don’t know who to trust. Dimitri refuses to even look at Lucas but Nikolai thinks we need him. If it comes down to giving evidence against Rome we w

ANAIt’s day 26 and I go over the plan I have in my head for the hundredth time today. I have unscrewed the shower screen and have placed it strategically in the bathroom, waiting for my attack. For the last seven days I have woken up every morning determined that today is the day.But today I’m going to escape, but then I’m so scared I’m going to mess it up and end up dead and Roman will really lose me and It would have all been for nothing. I have to be positive my plan will work before I do it or else it’s just a death wish. I just wish I knew if the CCTV coverage of me in here is going back to an office somewhere else or if this is the only place that views me.Because if this is the only place I have a much bigger chance of getting away before anyone knows I’m gone. I know what shift Boris is on and I have to do it when the young doctor is here, as I have a much greater chance of surviving against him. He won’t even talk to me because he knows I’m trying to break down his

SASHA “All rise,” the administrator calls as the judge enters the room, and everyone stands silently. The court room is full of reporters with notepads as cameras are not allowed. Roman, dressed in a navy suit, stands in front next to Yuri and two of his assistants.Then in the front row are Chloe, Callie, Danielle,me, Nikolai, Ivan, Dimitri and Zoran. I feel like I am going to have a heart attack.The judge walks in silently, sits down and flicks through the notes in front of him regarding this case.Yuri is the first to speak. “Your honour, I request that this hearing be held in a private court room,” he calls.The judge looks up from his papers, seemingly surprised. “Denied, this is a matter of public interest.”Roman’s head drops, oh god. Everything is going to be dragged through the press,this is Roman’s worst nightmare.The prosecution lawyer stands. He is about forty, nerdy looking and grey. He also appears very confident which only escalates my fear.“We are here tod
