JACOB POVThe call came at the moment I needed it to. That felt like a sign that things were finally going the way they should. I looked at the screen. Saw my secretary's name. I answered the call without thinking. My tone was sharp and controlled."They will be on their way sir, " he said quickly. "Good, " I said. I was already getting my car keys and heading for the door. "I will be there after you.""Copy that sir, " he said. I ended the call immediately.I walked towards the door with a purpose. My mind was thinking ahead figuring things out making sure everything was okay. Before I could open the door Anna's sharp voice stopped me. "Where are you going?" she asked. Her tone was light. It sounded like a challenge.I turned around slowly. I forced a smile but it did not feel real. I was not in the mood for this tonight."Since when did you start checking up on me?" I asked. My voice was calm. I was making a point. "And why do you care about what I'm doing?"She laughed, but it wa

JACOB POVThe room did not feel loud anymore. The music was still playing in the background. The girls were still laughing at the far end. It felt like the sound had moved further away. The space between us had tightened into something more private and dangerous. Michael was the first to break the tension. He stepped forward with his usual half-smirk. His eyes were sharper than his tone. "Daniel," he said, nodding toward Daniel like he was trying to ease him into it, "you need to understand this is not random. Those girls... They are connected to something."Daniel's brows pulled together immediately. His posture stiffened as he processed the words of reacting to them. "Connected to what?" he asked slowly. There was already something defensive in his voice. It was like he did not like the direction this was heading.Michael exhaled. He scratched the back of his neck like he did not enjoy explaining it. "There was a video, " he said bluntly. Then he paused long enough for the word to

IRIS POVThe transition from the air of the restaurant to the enclosed quiet of the cinema felt deliberate. It was like stepping into a space where everything could be controlled again. I let that settle in my chest as we walked toward the ticket counter. Celine stood between us. Her small hand swung lightly with excitement. Kathryn moved beside her with that composed grace she carried everywhere. I could tell she was still holding something back from earlier."I want the screen, " Celine said. Her voice was bright and certain as she looked up at me. I couldn't help the smile that followed."You always go big don't you?" I replied. I nodded toward the attendant as I purchased the tickets without hesitation. Tonight wasn't about limits. It was about keeping things where I wanted them.Kathryn didn't comment. I caught the glance she gave me. It was brief and unreadable. She was trying to understand what kind of control I was exercising and why it felt so natural.The elevator ride was q

JACOB POVThe shift from silence to sound did not happen at once. The moment awareness returned to the girls it came with confusion first, fear and finally something louder.One of the girls changed positions. Her head lifted slightly before dropping. Then her eyes forced themselves open. It was as if the weight of it all was too much. "What..." she muttered weakly. Her voice was dry and unsteady. When she tried to move her hands the realization hit her instantly.The ropes were around her wrists. The chair was old and creaky and the others were tied up too.Her breathing changed. She was scared. "What the hell is going on?" she snapped suddenly. The fear underneath her anger made her sound thin. Her eyes darted from one face to another. She noticed that none of them were free.That was when the room broke. Voices rose all at once. They were overlapping, panicked, desperate. One realization fed into another. Within seconds the confusion turned into panic."Why are we tied up…" one gir

KATHRYN POVThe morning came quickly, and I could feel it in the way my hands moved on their own, because doing the same things every day was the only thing keeping me going while everything else was falling apart. I woke up my daughter Celine earlier than usual."Mommy it is still dark " she said softly her voice sleepy as she reached for my hand and that simple thing made me feel better than anything could."I know, baby " I said gently brushing her hair back as I took her to the car "Sometimes we have to start early so we can finish early."It sounded simple. I let it stay that way because she deserved things to be easy.The drive to school felt longer than it usually did even though there were no cars on the road and the quiet between us felt heavy. I kept looking in my mirrors not because I saw anything. Because I felt like something was off. Something I could not explain but could not ignore either."Are you okay?" Celine asked suddenly her small voice breaking into my thoughts.
