Explicit Scenes Ahead Daisy's POV I sigh as I realize, once again, that neither set of parents are around.Not my adoptive ones.Not Bradley and Brittany either… those so-called “recovering” parents of mine.Typical.Balancing a plate of food in my hand, I head toward my room, already irritated. I know what I have to do next, and honestly, it annoys me that I even have to.The second I step inside, I close the door behind me and set the plate down on my dresser. Without wasting another second, I reach for my phone and scroll to my contact.The Hunter.It rings twice before he answers.“Hello, love.”“Hey, Hunter,” I reply casually. “What do you got?”He lets out a low laugh. “Well… hello to you too.”I roll my eyes slightly, even though he can’t see me.“So?” I press.“They’re all gathered,” he says. “At that woman’s house, you know, the one who owns all those diners.”I exhale slowly, processing. “So… what now?”There’s a brief pause before he answers, his tone shifting slightly.“

Third-Person POV Emily woke up in her apartment feeling drained.Exhaustion clung to her, not just physical, but mental. The constant tension at home, the situation with her sister Stephanie that new boyfriend of hers… it was all becoming too much.She let out a long sigh as she sat up in bed.“I can’t wait to get to work,” she muttered to herself. “This is ridiculous.”Work felt like an escape.Normal. Controlled.Something she could rely on.Not long after, she was on the road.Trying to shake off the heaviness from the morning, she made a quick decision and pulled into Krispy Kreme. If nothing else, she could at least brighten everyone else’s day.Two dozen donuts later, she was back in her car, heading toward the office.Still… something felt off.A small, nagging feeling in the back of her mind.She tried to ignore it.After all, she had things to look forward to Friday, seeing Clover’s new house, spending time with everyone. For once, things were starting to feel good again.So

Lucas’s POVLucas checked the time again.11:30.Still nothing.No text.No call.No response.His jaw tightened as he pulled out his phone, opening the location tracker.Emily always shared her location with him.Always.But as soon as the map loaded, there it was...Nothing.Blank.He frowned, refreshing it.Once.Twice.Still nothing.“What the fuck…?” he muttered under his breath.That didn’t make sense.Even if her phone died, there should’ve been a last known location. A delay. Something.But this?This was like she just… disappeared.Lucas ran a hand through his hair, pacing now.“Something’s wrong,” he said quietly to himself. “Something’s really fucking wrong…”Without wasting another second, he scrolled through his contacts and hit call on her sister’s number.The phone rang.Then clicked.“Hello?”“Hey… is this Stephanie?” Lucas asked quickly.“Yeah, who is this?”“This is Lucas.”“Oh, hey, Lucas. What’s up?”His voice tightened. “Have you heard from Emily?”A pause.“Uh… y

Third-Person POVEmily paced slowly inside the small cage, her eyes scanning every inch of it again.Six feet tall… maybe four feet wide.Just enough space to stand, turn, and feel trapped.She let out a long sigh, dropping onto the small stool they’d given her.“Well… at least you gave me somewhere to sit,” she muttered, before looking up at the two idiots guarding her. “But I got a question… how the hell am I supposed to use the bathroom?”The two men looked at each other like they hadn’t thought that far ahead.“Uh… there’s a bathroom,” one of them said finally. “We’ll have to take you.”Emily raised a brow. “Oh, okay. And how exactly does that work? Because… I have to go. Like, now.”The bigger one sighed, already annoyed. “It’s a single bathroom. We’ll let you out, take you there, then bring you back.”Emily rolled her eyes. “Great. Let’s go then.”Her gaze lingered on them as they moved closer.One was short, maybe five-five, five-six, and thin as hell, stringy blonde hair stiff

Clover’s POV We’re all still sitting there, tension thick, trying to figure out our next move and how the hell we’re supposed to get Emily back, when everything shifts in a matter of seconds.Bennett’s phone rings.Lucas’s right after.They both glance down at their screens at the same time.Bennett answers first, already stepping away, his voice low as he walks out of the room.Lucas, though?He frowns slightly at the unknown number before answering.“Hello?”A pause.Then...“Luke.”Everything in the room stops.Lucas exhales like the air got knocked out of him. “M.”My heart jumps straight into my throat.Everyone’s looking at him now.“Where are you?” he asks quickly.“I’m at the police station,” Emily says, her voice clear through the phone. “I got away.”Just like that...The weight of the world lifts off his shoulders.I watch it happen in real time.Lucas drops back onto the couch, running a hand over his face as he exhales hard.“Did they hurt you?” he asks, voice tight. “D
