Semua Bab Entangled in his sheet: Bab 1 - Bab 10

We must have been travelling for a couple of hours because I felt strange when I woke up. They must have given me something to inhale that made me pass out. My mouth was still gagged and I was blindfolded. The car was no longer moving so I assumed we were in wherever they wanted to take me to. Maybe they had the wrong person.The name Julian St Clair had mentioned earlier - Maria De la Fonte. It sounded like trouble. Maybe they confused me with her. I was going to let them know I was no De la Fonte. I had missed my second shift and I hoped I hadn't lost the job. And Bethany. I was supposed to see her before going to my second job. But here I was, staring into darkness. There was no sound coming from the car. If I had not woken up before the car's engine died, I would have thought I had been thrown somewhere. I tried to reach for the blindfold. That was when I realised that I had been cuffed.“Help!” I muffled.Then I felt a strong grip around my arm with a sinister chuckle. “You

Hulk led me to an entirely different apartment from the one I had met Tiny. From the looks of it, it looked like a personal quarters for Vincenzo Morano. “I'll treat you better than Vincenzo,” Hulk was saying as he pulled me along. “You'll have all the best time with me. All the ladies know that.”I was quiet. I knew what speaking meant in this place and how they could switch from smiles to brutality. But all I could think of was Bethany. I had left Julian's card with them. If I couldn't be there tomorrow, I didn't know what would happen to my precious daughter.Ricardo! You'll burn in hell.The apartment was spacious and luxurious, nothing compared to the apartment I was just coming from. Every sparkled precious metal. It would have passed for heaven if Hulk wasn't dragging me to his master's bedroom. He pushed the door open to a spacious, spotless room. I felt so out of place in the room.“Take a shower and put on a red lingerie…unless you want to see the other side of Vincenzo M

Catrina's Pov My jaw went slack, a silent gasp caught in my throat. I stood frozen, like the world around me had gone quiet. The hum of the air conditioner, all of it faded into a distant buzz. All I could hear was the echo of the girls' voices chatting from behind. "Move in permanently?" I tried to form a response, but my tongue felt like a foreign object in my mouth.“ You don't have the whole time to start acting like a statue, don't keep Hulk waiting, you won't like what is going to happen” Charlotte snapped.“Isabella, don't keep Leonard Conti waiting either, girls you have to dress up and move out”. Charlotte ordered further.“Look at her acting like she doesn't know what she’s doing”. Isabella's face twisted in disgust, her eyes darting up and down.“Yes, it's people like her that move around with charms holding captive of men that come in contact with them”. The other girl behind spoke like she's certainly sure of what she's saying.“Tell me what did you do to Vincenzo that

Julian’s PovI pace around the room, furious, my head spinning with thoughts.My hands clenched into fists, my knuckles turned white.I slammed the door shut, the bang echoing through the office. The veins on my neck bulged, and the muscle in my jaw ticked. "Why does she have to keep my child away from me? When will she stop running away from me?" I growled, my voice was low, a dangerous rumble. I turned my back to the door, staring out the window with a rigid, unyielding posture.My neck muscles ached, but I ignored the strain as I finally looked up from my phone. A slow, Cheshire cat grin stretched across my face. "Yes!" I whispered, with a snap of my fingers punctuating the thought.“All I need is to find a private investigator, That can dig up her whereabouts and what she has been up to for the past six years”. I went back to my phone, my thumb swiping frantically across the screen. “There have to be someone out there who can help, who….who…who…” I said the mantra repeatedly.

JULIAN'S POV“I told you not to come anywhere near me. Why are you here?” The words tore from my throat, a low hiss that barely made it past my clenched jaw.Her hands moved toward me, but I didn't wait. I shoved her away, my hands caught her shoulders pushing her back with all my strength. She stumbled steps back, her hands batting feebly at my chest. I watched her, my eyes narrowed to slits, a knot of fury and disgust tightening in my gut.“Julian, you can't keep pushing me away,” she said, her voice was soft and a stark contrast to my own rage. She reached out again, her pinky finger brushing lightly against my chin.My hand shot up, knocking her hand away. The air between us cracked with the sudden, sharp movement. I took a step closer, my voice was low, like a dangerous rumble. “Don’t test my patience, Veronica.”I pushed her hard enough to make her stumble, but didn’t look back to see if she fell. My eyes were already locked on the gilded doors of the VIP elevator. It was
