Chapter 41

[Elena's POV]Noah didn't move.His gaze shifted to the man holding me, and something in his expression made my blood run cold.It was the look of a predator deciding exactly how to kill its prey.The other two robbers had already emptied the cash register, stuffing bills into their duffel bag. They moved to the terrified customers, snatching phones and jewelry with rough efficiency.One of them reached Nicole."Bitch! Your f*cking phone, jewelry! Now!" he barked.Nicole's hands trembled as she continued to pull off her earrings, her bracelet, fumbling with the clasp of her necklace."Please," she said, her voice shaking as she held everything out. "Please don't hurt my friend. Take whatever you want, just don't hurt her."Tears streaked down her face as she handed over her phone and wallet.The robber snatched them and moved on.Outside, police sirens wailed, getting closer. The sound seemed to surround the café.I saw Noah's eyes flick toward the door at the sound, and something cha

Chapter 42

[Elena's POV]The lead robber hesitated, then jerked his head at his companions."Search him," he ordered. "Make sure he's not carrying."The thinner of the two accomplices moved forward, but his steps were reluctant, uncertain."Boss," he said, his voice muffled by the mask. "I don't know about this. Noah Marlowe's famous. We knock over a couple stores, we get caught, maybe we do a few months. But kidnapping a billionaire? That's federal. That's life in prison. Or worse."He shifted his weight nervously."I just wanted to get my dad some decent meds, man. This is way too hot."The taller accomplice nodded quickly. "Yeah. I'm with him. I just need enough for my sister's hospital bills. This is... this is too much."Something twisted in my chest.Their family and medical bills.I thought of my mom lying in that hospital bed, tubes and monitors beeping, waiting for a surgery I couldn't afford on my own. She couldn't be saved until I sold my freedom and dignity to Noah.God, I actually f

Chapter 43

[Elena's POV]As I was being shoved toward the Bentley, something caught my eye.It was a tiny red dot. Was that laser sight?It appeared on the chest of the tall robber pushing Noah forward, then drifted slowly upward toward his head.My blood went cold.Noah had arranged a sniper without my noticing.Of course he had. Because apparently kidnapping a Billionaire with a double life came with complimentary execution services.The red dot steadied on the tall robber's temple. Any second now, his brains would be splattered across Noah's expensive car, and I'd be standing right next to the mess.I thought of what he'd said inside the café."I just need enough for my sister's hospital bills."His sister. Probably it was some kid or poor woman somewhere waiting for her brother to come home with money for treatment.And in about two seconds, she'd be waiting forever.My body moved before my brain caught up.I stepped directly behind the tall robber, blocking the sniper's line of sight with m

Chapter 44

[Elena's POV]The Bentley surged forward.The Harleys matched our speed effortlessly.And one of them, the one closest to Noah's window, reached into his jacket.I saw the glint of metal. It was from a gun."Mr. Marlowe," I said, my voice tight. "They're armed.""I know," he said calmly like this was all going exactly according to plan.SJ was sweating now, his eyes darting between the road and the motorcycles flanking us."What do they want?" he yelled. "What the fuck do they want?"Noah leaned forward slightly, his voice dropping to a near-whisper that somehow carried more weight than a shout."They want," he said, "to see if you're smart enough to stop. Or stupid enough to die."The motorcycles closed in tighter.One pulled ahead, forcing SJ to swerve.Another came up on the passenger side, so close I could see the Velgrave skull painted on the rider's helmet."SJ!" the tall robber in the passenger's seat shouted. "We can't outrun them! We gotta stop!""NO!" SJ screamed. "We're alm

Chapter 45

[Elena's POV]Noah stared at me for a long moment, then he turned to Caleb. "Take them to the holding cells first," he ordered. "Then prepare fifty thousand for each of their families. The sister's medical bills. The father's medication. All of it."What? Did he just...?Relief flooded through me so fast I almost felt dizzy.Holy shit. He actually listened to me.Noah Marlowe, Mr. N! The ruthless mafia boss was showing mercy? Did he grow a conscience? Was this what happened when you got kidnapped? Did near-death experiences unlock hidden empathy?Maybe there was hope for him after all. Maybe underneath all that cold calculation, there was actually a—"Thank you—""I'm not finished," Noah cut me off.He pulled out his phone, tapping quickly."Caleb, also prepare ten million in liquid assets. Tomorrow morning when the market opens, Marlowe Enterprises stock will drop because of the kidnapping news. Buy heavily at the low. Then—" he glanced at his watch, "—release the statement that I've

Chapter 46

Happy New Year~[Elena's POV]Then he took both my hands and wrapped them around the handlebars, his larger hands covering mine.His chest was solid against my spine, warm and impossibly steady."What are you doing?" I asked, my voice coming out higher than intended."Teaching you to ride.""But I don't know how—""I know." His breath was warm against my ear. "That's why I'm here."His hands tightened over mine on the grips."Now," he said, his voice dropping to that low, commanding tone that made my stomach flip. "Start the engine.""Noah—""Start it, Elena."I swallowed hard.This impossible man showed zero remorse, and was now trying to teach me to ride a motorcycle on the side of a highway after ."You know," I said, "normal people would just call an Uber. If you don't want to be seen, you could use my name""Where's the fun in that?" I could hear the smirk in his voice."If I crash this thing and die," I said, "I'm haunting you.""Noted. Now start the damn engine."I took a shaky

Chapter 47

[Elena's POV]"Focus, piccola (little thing)," he growled into my ear, his large hands overlapping mine on the handlebars. "Unless you want to end up as a permanent fixture on this asphalt.""So, are they mortal enemies? Blood feud type of thing?" I screamed to be heard over the engine's howl."Something like that!" Noah's voice was steady, a chilling contrast to the chaos behind us."Okay, so hypothetically..." My heart was hammering against my ribs, keeping pace with the speedometer. "If they catch us and I pretend I've never seen you before in my life, do you think they'll let me go? My mom has surgery next Friday, Noah. I can't die today!"Instead of answering, Noah leaned forward. I felt the sharp sting of his teeth on my earlobe."Ow! What the hell?""You heartless little thing," he growled, his lips grazing my skin as we tilted dangerously low into a sharp curve. "If I'm going down, I'm dragging you to hell with me. Consider it a loyalty clause in our contract.""That's not ver

Chapter 48

[Elena's POV]The vibration of the engine had become a part of my bones.For hours, we had been one entity fusing with the machine.By the time the sun began to bleed into the horizon, the adrenaline had faded, leaving behind an exhaustion so deep it felt like bruising.Noah had veered off Route 9 somewhere near Peekskill—or at least, that's what the blurred green signs suggested. We cruised through a town that time seemed to have forgotten. A main street with cracked pavement, a gas station with dim yellow lights, and a silence that felt heavy.Up ahead, a neon sign flickered with a dying buzz: RIVERSIDE INN - VACANCY - $45/NIGHT.The "N" in INN was burnt out. It fit the mood perfectly.Noah pulled into the gravel lot, the tires crunching loudly in the quiet evening. He killed the engine. The sudden silence was deafening."We're stopping?" I asked, my voice hoarse from the wind."Unless you want to sleep on the bike," he murmured against my ear before finally pulling away.The loss o

Chapter 49

[Elena's POV]The sudden flash of fury in his eyes stopped me cold. It wasn't the cold calculation of a businessman anymore. It was something raw, dark, and dangerous."But he's—""I said enough! That's your master's order! "He hold my wrist and he yanked it hard.One sharp pull, and my center of gravity vanished. I stumbled forward, off-balance, and suddenly I was falling back. The bed caught me with a soft bounce.Before I could scramble up, Noah loomed over me. He placed one knee on the mattress between my legs and braced his hands on either side of my head, caging me in."You are my woman," he growled, his face inches from mine, his eyes burning with a possessive fire that terrified me. "I don't want to hear another man's name come out of your mouth. Especially not his."My heart hammered against my ribs. Why he looked angry? Was jealous of Adrian? Or perhaps it was merely his twisted possessiveness at play, unable to tolerate his pet uttering another man's name.I opened my mout

Chapter 50

[Noah's POV]The phantom heat of her body pressed against mine on the bike still lingered on my skin, a ghost of the last few hours of torture disguised as a getaway.By the time we'd pulled into this shithole motel, every nerve in my body was already frayed, screaming for some kind of release. And then she had to say it.Adrian.That name on her lips was like a match thrown into a room full of gasoline.All the rage I'd managed to suppress at the café, watching her cry into his arms, watching her cling to him like he was her salvation while I stood there as nothing more than the checkbook, came roaring back with suffocating intensity.I had planned to let her rest, to be almost civilized about this, but the moment she opened her mouth to defy me for another man, the thin leash on my control snapped clean through.I wasn't listening to her talk about him. Not tonight. Not ever.I yanked her onto the bed, ignoring her gasp as the mattress caught her. Before she could scramble away, I w
