THE CAPTIVE

Miriam’s POVI hadn’t gotten very far when the car hit a bump on the road. I was confused because I could have sworn that I didn’t see anything on the road.“What the hell?” I cursed before coming down to check what the problem was.Just as I got down from the vehicle, I heard a loud screech. I looked up to see two vehicles pulling up in front of me. My heart started to hammer at the thought of what was happening. I watched as the men came down from their trucks.“Who are you?” One of them fired at me..“I…I’m…” I stammered in fear.“Speak, woman!”“My name is Juliet,” I lied.“Juliet what?”“Juliet Stone.”I had to lie. I didn’t know what type of men they were or why they were stopping me. I tried to check if I would still see Lazar’s car but it wasn’t in sight anymore. Shit! I was all on my own now.“You’re lying!” One of them said suddenly. He seemed to be the leader of the group. He was dressed in all silver which was weird to me but that was the least of my problems right now. He

LET THE GAMES BEGIN

Lazar’s POVWhen I left the house earlier tonight, I couldn’t help but get the feeling of being followed. After a while, though, it stopped. I couldn’t be focused on an imaginary stalker because a lot was happening tonight. Word had finally gotten to Trevor that I had Anita. I heard that he was outraged and wanted her immediately.It didn’t take long for him to call. I made him call up to three times before picking up. “You coward! How dare you take her?” He yelled on the phone. “After everything you’ve taken?”How bold of him to forget that he wasn’t the only one who lost to this ongoing battle. He started this thing and I was going to finish it.“Oh. You haven’t seen anything. Just sit back, relax and watch me show you why you should never mess with me or mine!”“You’re going to regret this, you bastard! Mark my words. You will wish you never crossed me.”“Empty threats, just as usual. You need to start thinking of new ways to threaten me because I’m bored already.”He ended the ca

THE TRUTH COMES OUT

Lazar’s POVI was able to jump out of the way just in time to avoid the bags of stone that came crashing down from a high crate. I fell on my side and didn’t realize how much damage it would cause until I tried to stand up. “Shit!” I groaned out loud.The pain was nothing compared to the rage and hatred I was feeling towards Trevor right now. If I reached him, the first thing I was going to do was smash his fucking face in. The bastard thought he was so smart. I pulled myself up to stand and I managed to stagger over to where my car was parked.As I was getting ready to drive, a call came in and I knew who it was even without checking.“Please, tell me you have good news.”“I do but you have to hurry up. Time is of essence,” Rosodov replied.I didn’t need to be told twice. Ignoring the pain in my leg, I stepped on the pedal and sped towards the headquarters.“What happened to you? Are you alright?” Those were the questions I was being met with as I marched through the room.I needed

CAPTURED

Miriam’s POVThe man named Delvano had separated from us along the way, so the person following us had the wrong lead. More gunshots were fired as our vehicle sped dangerously across the highway.“How did he know where we were?” Someone yelled from the front of the truck as I shivered in the back. The car slowed to a stop by a deserted construction site. We had lost the man chasing us but I had a feeling he was very close.“He is tracking us, somehow. He has to be.”All their eyes turned to me and one of them grabbed me by the neck and tore the duct tape off my mouth. I whimpered in pain but they ignored me.“Show me the tracking device or I swear I'll kill you right here, right now. I don’t care what my boss says.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Please,” I begged.“Take off her jewelry!” A dark voice ordered.My earrings, necklace, bracelet and even my ring was stripped off. I watched as they dissected everything, my heart pounding in my chest. One of them got down from the

THE ESCAPE

Miriam’s POVI stared at the man who had just shot the thugs. He was completely unfamiliar and he was breathing really hard. My heart was pounding dangerously in my chest as I waited for his next move.“Well, what the hell are you waiting for, woman? I just saved your life! Run! Get the hell out of here!’My brain quickly registered what was happening and I realized that he was trying to help me. I pushed myself forward into the dark night and started running away. I didn’t want to look back but I hadn't gotten very far when I heard some gunshots. Kyle and the rest must have discovered what happened because they were yelling and shooting like crazy.I made sure to keep going and in no time, I had put a significant amount of space between me and them that I could barely hear their voices anymore. I was so scared and my legs were weak from all of the running. My head ached from the stress of the day’s events and I didn't know when I collapsed on the ground in exhaustion.I didn’t know h

WORN DOWN

Lazar’s POVIt wasn’t my intention to leave Miriam’s side before she woke up but I had to. After we intercepted Trevor’s men, it was easy to find their hideout. Trevor was gone before we got there.“Damn it!” I growled as the piercing pain went up my leg.“Is everything alright?” Rosodov whispered into my ear so the others won’t hear.“Of course not! What kind of dumbass question is that?” I snapped.The last twenty four hours have been particularly annoying. I’ve definitely had worse days but right now, I was just plainly pissed off. A lot was happening all at once and getting out of hand. To make matters worse, my fucking leg wouldn’t stop stinging. I had been ignoring the pain for a while now but it was only getting worse.“I was actually talking about your thigh. It looks like you’re in pain.”His eyes went down and that was when I noticed the swelling. One thigh was starting to look bigger than the other. I tried to remain calm as I looked down at the sight.“I’m fine,” I said th

OFFSPRING

Janet’s POVIt had been a very frustrating day for me. As usual, Everything and everyone was upsetting me but today felt even worse.“Get the hell away from me!” I yelled at the man who accidentally bumped into me on the street.I didn’t care if it was not on purpose. Just the way he looked was irritating.“What’s your problem?” Williams asked me and I glared at him.“This is all your fault, you know?” I spat at him. “If you had just ordered the damn food online like I asked you to, I wouldn’t have gotten food poisoning.”We were on our way to the hospital and I was really angry when we got there me hard to park a few blocks away because the car broke down yet again.The only reason we were going to the hospital in the first place was because of the stupid chicken soup Williams made yesterday. Ever since we bailed him from the hospital, he had been lingering around the house and it was starting to get on my last nerve. We were so low on cash that I had to sell off some things around t

THE HELPER

Janet’s POVMother ended up taking me to see a man who she thought could help our finances.“I don’t understand, Mom. How do you even know someone like this?”“Don’t stress about that. All you need to do is explain your plight to him. If he can help you, he will let you know.”“Okay.”I decided not to argue. At the end of the day, I knew she was only trying to help. She wouldn’t do anything that wouldn’t benefit me.“Who is there?” A grumpy voice came from inside the room.“Jero, it’s me. Olivia. I’m here with my daughter.”There was a brief pause before he spoke again. “Come in!”We opened the door and I was surprised to see a young man sitting down at a table. Judging by his voice, I had expected someone over his forties. He looked so young but there were a lot of scars on his face that proved he had had his fair share of bad experiences.“I hope this isn’t a bad time,” my mother said slowly.“Your daughter,” he said out of nowhere. “Doesn’t she speak?”My mother nudged me and gave

FORGIVE ME

Lazar’s POV“Sir, where are you going?” The nurse asked behind me. “The doctor didn’t say you could leave just yet.”“I know but I feel fine.”“I’m sure but you still need some days here…” I tuned her out.The truth was that Rosodov just alerted me that they had found Delvano. Apparently, he was hiding out in a safe house across town. Did he really think that I would not find out?I grabbed a bunch of my stuff and went into the bathroom. I changed into my normal clothes eager to get out of this place. The past twenty four hours in here, idle, have been absolute torture. The worst part was that Miriam was not speaking with me. I needed to convince her to forgive me.“Sir, please. I can’t allow you to pass.” The nurse stood in front of me.“I know you’re just doing your job but you’re starting to annoy me, woman. Do you want to know what I do to people who annoy me?”She shook her head timidly and stepped aside for me to pass. I didn’t want to frighten her but she was standing in the wa

HOSPITAL VISITS

Miriam’s POV“What happened after he left the house?”“I don’t know. I don’t know…what did you say happened to him?” I asked frantically.“He’s in a coma. We’re trying our best but we can’t tell you when he will wake up,” the doctor explained but I was not comprehending.“Coma? I thought he only had a leg injury? What did you do to my husband?” I was getting hysterical now.“Calm down, Miss. He just arrived back here almost unconscious. We have no idea where he went.”“Please, you have to save him. I’m begging you.”“We’re doing our best,” he said again.“Can I go in to see him?” I asked after a while.“Yes, you can. The nurse will take you to see him right away.”I followed her quietly and she took me to a different room from the one he was in before. I gasped when I saw the state he was in. The sight made me realize how serious the situation actually was. IV lines in his arms. Heart monitors. Oxygen tubes.“Who could have done this to you?” I muttered underneath my breath as I moved
