Chapter 101Martin's PovThe house was too quiet today. No loud music or anything, maybe Amelia has started to understand what privacy and staying on a low means.For hours I looked at my phone, waiting for a call. News. Anything.The only updates came from the TV.RODRIGO NANNY FOUND ALIVE AFTER KIDNAPPINGThe headline flashed over and over. Police cars, ambulances, officers moving quickly outside a warehouse. A stretcher being loaded.Adrian. She had been found. Alive.Anxiety ran through when I saw the news. Then, Brittany called me, telling me to run. Run with Amelia to another city. But I won't. At least, not yet. Running meant admitting defeat. Giving up everything I had left.I sipped whiskey from its bottle, not minding the burns in my chest. I dropped it down at the nearest table, thinking... Half-empty. I had been drinking since noon when I got back, trying to kill my fears.Adrian was alive. That meant she could talk. She could tell the police everything she remembered.But

Chapter 102Darcy's PovThe hospital chair was awful.My back ached, my neck was stiff, and every muscle complained that I was the CEO of Rodrigo shouldn't be here.Still, I refused to leave Adrian at the hospital all by herself. She was finally sleeping-slow, after waking up twice because of nightmares. She looked safe now. The injuries, still seen on her wrists, were still dark, but she was here, and that was everything.My phone rang. Mark's name flashed.I stepped into the hallway and answered. "What is it?""Sir, big problem," Mark said, tense. "Zenith needs the final proposal by 5 PM today or they walk. This is the billion-dollar deal we've been working on for months."I checked my watch. 2:30 PM."Can't you handle it?" My voice sounded thick with exhaustion."I tried, sir. But the specs they want-logistics restructuring, AI integration-are beyond me. I don't want to guess and lose the deal. We need your input."I rubbed my eyes. Three nights with almost no sleep had taken their

Chapter 103 Adrian's PovThe condo was incredible.No-"incredible" wasn't enough for that house. It was so beautiful. I loved it when I saw it on his phone.It looked like the place we normally see in movies and advertised on the magazines and billboards. I couldn't believe I owned it. I was hoping to save up and get myself a house, little did I know that Darcy would do that for me all because of the little help I rendered.Darcy had insisted on showing it to me today. Yes, I was tired. Still feeling pain from my wounds but I followed him. I still couldn't believe everything that was happening. I am a car owner, now owning a condo too. This was huge.He'd helped me sit in the passenger seat of my new car and he drove downtown to a sleek high-rise building with a doorman and marble floors."You didn't have to do this Darcy," I said for probably the hundredth time as the elevator climbed."I know," he said, holding my hand. "I wanted to."The doors opened directly showing off the swee

Chapter 104Brittany's PovThomas's apartment was smaller than I remembered, but it looked elegant. He's really rich like he said. Not bad. A two-bedroom apartment, the living room had leather sofas and then there's a modern kitchen. Expensive.The Art on the wall made it classy. It wasn't fancy,it was quietly rich. It was safe. Right then, safety was enough."Make yourself at home," Thomas said, setting my bag down on the couch. "Want something to drink? I've got wine, beer, whiskey-""Whiskey," I said. "The strongest you have."He raised an eyebrow, looking at me but he didn't argue, there was no need to do such. He got the whiskey and poured it in the glasses. I drank mine in a gulp. The burn steadied me."Rough day?" he asked when he sat beside me."Rough week," I said. "Rough month. Rough life."He offered to listen. But I didn't wish to talk. He didn't push. We sat in a comfortable silence that surprised me - considering how badly we'd left things last time."Thank you," I said

Chapter 105Adrian’s PovThe kidnapping incident happened two weeks ago. Two weeks of healing. The bruises had faded to pale yellow. The cuts on my back were healing faster and the nightmares were shorter and lesser now. Life felt calm and safe.Darcy, Pink, and I had a routine—busy mornings with laughter and pancakes. Some days I stayed at the condo he gave me. To read and think out loud. Other days we were at the penthouse. Sometimes Darcy brought work home; he’d show me documents and ask my opinion. Evenings were family time—dinner, a story, then quiet when Pink finally slept.And nights. Nights were full of him. Darcy held me close, his lips brushing my shoulder.“Good morning,” he whispered.“Morning,” I whispered.His hand slid down, warm and familiar—then a small voice stopped us.“Daddy? Ms. Adrian?”We both froze. Darcy pulled away from me. I could hear him speak with frustration. “Just a minute, sweetheart!” he called.I laughed quietly and slipped out of bed, pulling on cl

Chapter 106Martin’s POVTwo weeks.Two weeks since Amelia had stumbled through my door, bruised and shaking, and collapsed into my arms. Two weeks since I’d realized how deep I was buried in this mess.She’d refused the hospital, refused the police. She wanted only me as she cried; Darcy’s men questioned and threatened her until she confessed — she named the warehouse, my role in Adrian’s kidnapping, and where to find him.“I’m sorry Martin,” she cried. “They said they’d kill me if I didn’t talk and make it look like an accident.That was the reason I got freed.”I told her it was okay. That I understood. I lied. Inside, I was screaming. Amelia talking meant the whole operation was exposed. Darcy knew who I was. He knew I’d been working for Brittany. That knowledge made my world a single step away from collapse.For two weeks I waited—jumping at every sound, every car passing by. No calls, no knocks, nothing. The silence only made me more scared, like calm before something bad.Amelia

Chapter 107Brittany's POVSunlight filled the room through unfamiliar curtains. I blinked my tired eyes, exhausted from last night sex I had with Thomas. In Thomas's apartment that was the only thing I did, wake up, eat and have sex. I’d been hiding here over two week, trying to stay, recover from everything happening around me, especially my father disowning me.I touched his side to see if he was lying beside me. He has left the bed. Today seemed different. Thomas was not in bed trying to make out with me. I looked at his side and it was empty. Where has he gone? What took him out of bed without fucking me must be serious.Cold. I stretched my hands, yarning. Then I looked at the clock:10:07AM. I was shocked. For some days now,I've been waking up late but today was far too late. I feel constantly tired lately.Maybe it was because of the constant tiredness I feel lately."Oh, Thomas was in the bathroom." I said, when I heard the water still running in the bathroom. Then Thomas came

Chapter 108Martin’s POVGetting into Thomas’s building was easier than I’d expected.I’d called Vivienne, pretending to worry about Brittany. And she confirmed that Brittany was with Thomas Wellington but she didn't know the address and besides she left in a haste. Then I paid for the information. My contacts gave me Thomas' house address and I'm here now. Thomas’s house.Now as I stood at the door, with the gun heavy in my jacket. On my reach in case Thomas was still around. My shaky hands held the knob and turned it to the right to open it. Someone is around. The door was not locked.Or maybe Thomas must have left for work. Careless.I pushed inside quietly. The apartment had an expensive setting but was small. I could see the living room, and kitchen. I walked down the short hall and entered the room looking for Brittany. Then,I saw a pretty woman standing in a silk nightgown, the sun touching her glowing skin, making her cloth see-through. Seductive. She's Brittany.For a momen

Chapter 109Brittany's PovHours after Martin left Thomas' apartment, I was worried about how today would end because I'd sent him on a mission to take Marcus' life being the only way we would survive his wrath. Then around seven in the evening. A breaking news alert lit up my phone notification.BREAKING: Prominent Businessman Marcus Ton Shot Outside CourthouseMy chest tightened. My heart started racing. Wanting to be certain, I took the TV remote and flicked through channels, searching for news channels where such news could pop up, until I found the coverage.There he was.Marcus Ton lay dead on the courthouse steps, the police tape around him, paramedics working desperately over his blood-soaked suit. They were trying to revive him at least. But they couldn't help him. He's gone. His bodyguards stood there shocked. Frozen. Helpless.The reporter’s voice droned on, explaining that Marcus Ton had just finished the divorce proceedings in court with his wife when someone opened fire

Chapter 110Adrian's POVI couldn’t stay in Darcy’s penthouse anymore. I couldn’t stay breathing the same air as Darcy, pretending everything was fine when it's not, when my world had just shattered with the truth. Part of me wished I didn't know and the other part that seeks the truth was vigilant for more truth and I can't wait for Marcus to be jailed for framing me.The moment I’d confronted him, the moment guilt had painted itself across his face and when Amelia’s words hit me, kept replaying in my mind, I knew I had to leave.“Adrian, please...”“Don’t,” I cut him off, with my shaky voice, I tried to keep stable. “Don’t say another word Darcy.”“Let me explain—”“Explain what?” My laugh was broken. “That you paid to take my virginity three years ago? That you used me when I was drunk, heartbroken? That you knew and said nothing?”“Honestly, I didn’t know at first, trust me please.”“But eventually you did. And still… you touched me like you miss me every single time, kissed me
