81: I Want My Prize

ELARA“Is it done?”Ignacio barely drags his mouth away from the woman clinging to him, like he’s forgotten anyone else is in the room. He gives her a lazy, greasy grin and pats her hip.Dismissed.I wrinkle my nose, already looking away.The girl takes the hint, flipping her cheap extensions over her shoulder as she struts out, dragging the sickly-sweet smell of her perfume with her.God.I’ve stepped into cleaner gutters than this place.And somehow, I’m still expected to deal with him.I smooth my hands over my skirt, forcing myself to stay still. If those useless idiots at the prison had done their job properly—like I paid them to—I wouldn’t be here.I wouldn’t be anywhere near this man.From the corner of my eye, I watch Ignacio adjust his trousers, his thick fingers dragging over his stomach as he lets out a satisfied chuckle. His gaze lingers on the girl even after she’s gone, like he can still see her.Disgusting.Only when the door clicks shut does he finally look at me, irri

82: Unfinished Business

Author’s Note: We’ve officially entered the second part of the book—thank you for staying with me on this journey. As the story progresses, the tone becomes darker and explores more difficult themes. While I will continue to include content warnings at the start of each chapter, please be aware that this section contains more intense and potentially violent material. I encourage you to read with care. Content Warning: Mentions of human trafficking. DAMIEN “The rain isn’t letting up, Prez,” Bones says carefully. Like he’s not talking to a man. Not even his boss. Like he’s standing in front of something that might snap at any second. And maybe he is. These past few days, I’ve felt wound too tight, every nerve stretched thin, like I’m one breath away from breaking something just to feel it give. It’s taken everything in me not to turn that tension on the nearest person. Not that I’ve been completely successful. Using Sebastian as target practice hasn’t been half as bad as it sou

83: Someone Else Can Deal With Them

DAMIENVictor Hale isn’t a difficult man to track down.Maybe it’s the heat still burning under my skin—something close to rage. Maybe it’s the foul mood I haven’t been able to shake. Maybe it’s just who I am.I don’t leave debts unpaid.Or it could just the tracker I planted on his business phone.Either way, I find him quickly.The thought of finally letting some of this anger out sharpens my focus, steadies my steps.I check the tracker on Rhea’s car—just once.She’s leaving work.I look away.I’m not going to pretend I’m not disappointed she didn’t reach out.It only confirms what I already know.Whatever this is… it isn’t the same for her.My grip tightens around my phone.Even if I haven’t crossed her mind the way she’s consumed mine—Even if she doesn’t miss me, doesn’t feel that pull, that need to see me—I still do.And that’s the problem.This thing with her… it’s gone too far. Twisted into something I barely recognise. Something sharp enough to hurt.But I still have time.

Content warning: ViolenceDAMIENThe man’s face reddens almost immediately. “What is the meaning of this?” he demands, turning to Victor as if he expects him to do something about it.Victor swallows, visibly.I keep my smile in place, watching him carefully. It’s far too early for him to look this shaken. I haven’t even begun.“Are you just going to let him disrespect us like this, Mr. Hale?”“Yes, Victor,” I say, the faintest hint of mockery slipping into my tone as I glance at him. “What exactly are you planning to do about it?”I let the question sit for a moment before my gaze settles on him properly, any trace of humour draining out of it.“You’re the one who summoned me here.”The shift is immediate, and he feels it.“I told you there would be consequences if there was a next time,” I continue, lifting the box just enough for him to see it clearly.The colour drains from his face so quickly it almost amuses me.Almost.I tilt my head slightly, watching him come to the realisati
