Chapter 51Damien POVI checked the time and had a sudden feeling to call Selina. I had no idea what to say or what to talk about but I picked my phone and dialed her number. The line thrilled as her phone rang but she didn’t pick up. I checked the time again. Four forty. Almost closing time. There was a flurry of activities that always peaked right before closing time and just assumed she was caught in the middle of it.Dropping the phone, I concentrated on my laptop as I read through the contract on the screen. I checked the time. Five pm. She hadn’t returned the call. I dialed again, it rang but there was no answer again. This was unlike her. I checked and got the number for Ryland foundation. I stared at the phone, my thumb hovering over the dial button.It is what it is. I tapped the button. The line rang and a receptionist picked.“I

Chapter 52Selina POVI stirred awake, my head throbbed as my vision slowly came back. There was a slight ringing in my ears. What happened? Where was I?Images of a hand over my mouth, feeling drowsy as I led to a car flashed across my mind. Adrenaline quickly shot through my body and I was instantly awake. I stared around the car. The cool leather cushion, the immaculate smooth drive told me it was an expensive car. It was probably German. The driver drove the car with the smooth assuredness of someone who knew where he was going. We weren’t on the high way and took too many detours and turns. They were probably trying to avoid highway patrol cops and cameras.My hands weren’t bounded and I wasn’t blindfolded either. They didn’t mind me seeing where I was being taken to or they weren’t expecting me to make a return trip from where I was being taken to. Neither was comforting, I clutched my stomach and focused

CHAPTER 53DAMIEN POVMy office had become something like the Pentagon especially when the Committee of joint Chiefs had been summoned on any DEFCON level. Derek, Caleb, Dean and Marcus were all present. No one said a thing. There wasn’t anything to be said at all. There was a bottle of alcohol that remained untouched unlike before. Caleb was even unusually quiet. There was no jokes from him or the cynical quips from Derek.There were screen grabs of the incident on the table, taken from different angles to gain a 360 degree perspective. Besides them are the documents, Dean and Caleb were to able find out about the shell companies that were trying to set him up. There was also Derek altered lithium contracts, bank statements and corporate records.It was an absolute mess. I regretted being right all long. It was this same office Derek dismissed the coordinated attack as coincidence.Caleb talked about how the investment system worked, everyone listened attentively but my head was s

Chapter 54Amora POV It was quite late. The office was completely silent and dark except my office. My face radiated with the glow of the laptop. There was a scowl on my face as I scanned through the documents. A glass of red wine sits untouched besides my laptop. The new plan was taking too long to come together. I rubbed the ridge of my nose and clenched my free hand. I wanted to scream so badly. I had the perfect plan after months of painstaking deliberation and action. The perfect plan is out of the window because of something I didn’t foresee or didn’t account for. I was pissed at myself for not considering that she would get pregnant. Damien wasn’t made out of wood. I felt like pulling my hair out. All these wasn’t going to work. When word gets out that’s she pregnant, she will become a loved figured. Surviving a fall and shooting while pregnant? Nah! She would be untouchable

Chapter 55SelinaI knew the face the moment the door opened. One second, that was all it took. Then every loose piece from the past months: the forged donor records, the targeted questions and the journalist fell into a single, clean line.It had been her the whole time. She couldn't look at me. That was the first thing I noticed. She was ashamed that I expected the words to literally jump out of her face. I filed that away immediately because shame meant something useful. It meant she was just another pawn on this chessboard. There was a particular way people carried themselves when they believe in what they're doing. This wasn't it."Did you know about the baby?"The question stopped her cold. Her eyes went to my stomach, just for a second, the kind of thing a person can't control and then away. The wall became very interesting to them.They said nothing. They didn't need to.I had been studying the room. The single bulb, the lock on the door. T

Chapter 56Selina povThe man came into view and her grip on my hand got tighter. There was a smile on his lips that barely reached his eyes. “It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance Miss Selina. He bowed with a flourish that almost made me forget the precarious situation I was in. I instantly realized any man who this cool and made a show of manners were usually ruthless. I steeled myself and played along, “I wish the circumstances were much better.”My response drew an amused smile from his lips. I decided to press my advantage. “ You do have me at a slight disadvantage.” There was a slightly puzzled face on his face as he tried to read the meaning behind my words. I stalled deliberately, watching his face as it processed so many variables at once. I sighed finally. “I meant your name. You know mine; I don’t know yours.”There was a flash of realization in his eyes before he smiled, this time his eyes crinkled. “Alto, at your service.” He looked at me again, probably gauging hi

Chapter 57Selina POVThe smoke from the warehouse still clung to my body. My arm hurt where he grabbed me and my shoulder ached from being thrown into the vehicle. I could still hear Amora screaming. I looked back at and saw Damien. He wasn’t running after me or fighting for me but knelt beside Amora.That was it then. Whether he chose Amora or not, it didn’t matter. I wasn’t out of the woods yet. Something in me shifted. I didn’t know what it was but I was done with waiting for anybody to come save me. I was done depending on anybody. It was clear to me that I had no one but myself. And I was the only who was going to get myself out of it. I clenched my hands and exhaled thrice. The panic in me was replaced by the cold logic. I looked around as I began to file away information in my head. I noticed a light scar on Alto’s hand whenever the sleeves of shirt shifted. It was thin and looked old. Probably a knife or some kind of blade. His voice was low and raspy. He had a Northern ac

Chapter 58Damien POV There was still smoke lingering in the air. There was boots stomping the earth as my men canvassed the area. There were screams and various calls out to teammates when they found or captured enemy soldiers. My eyes were on the road where the car that held Selina disappeared. Amora still clung to me, crying and thrashing around. I could feel the slight pain on my arms where her fingers dug into my flesh. She squeezed my arm harder. “Damien they took her. I can’t… oh my God…What’s happening?” I stood up and helped her up. I looked her over checking for injuries or broken bones. Satisfied she was alright, I firmly but gently detached her hands from my body.Amora was never one to quit easily, instead she doubled down. “My baby…our baby could have died.”I stared at her blankly. I had no response to that. But then again, I was sure that it was a hoax but if it wasn’t, the baby wasn’t mine. I was sure of it but I needed to verify it.Visibility started to improve a

CHAPTER 59ROSALIE POVThe tea had gone cold. I hadn't touched it. I hadn't moved from the chair behind the mahogany desk in nearly an hour. I sat there and just stared into space.Everything had changed.Selina was missing. Damien was somewhere in the city, hunting. Neither fact gave me a single moment of peace and I was too old to pretend otherwise.I checked my phone.Nothing.I set it down and felt, for the first time in years, realized the implication of my age. I was here with my phone, totally useless to the people I hold dear.The knock at the study door pulled me back."Enter."My butler's face was carefully composed, the way it got when he wasn't sure how news would land. "Ma'am. There's a gentleman here asking to see you.""I'm not receiving visitors.""He said you'd want to."I looked up slowly. "His name?""Elias Vance."I was on my feet before he finished speaking. The butler blinked barely, but I caught it. Most people needed appointments, approvals, three phone calls a

Chapter 60

Chapter 60Selina POVI was walked into a new building. This one seemed different from the last one I was held in. There were no signs of traffic or hums of industrial machines.My wrists were hurting; I couldn’t move them at all. Alto deliberately made the knots tight. I guess he was still pissed that he couldn’t get under my skin. He wanted to see me break but I was determined I wasn’t going to give him that satisfaction.The air seemed different here, it was lighter and purer, we probably close to the country side or somewhere outside the city. The lingering smell of disinfectant told me the place was recently cleaned. The sound of water dripping echoed as we made our way into the building. I stared at Renata besides me. She avoided my gaze; I wondered what they promised her. Was it money or something else? Did they blackmail or threaten her family? Did Priya know about her assistant’s double life? We stopped at a large door. It looked almost impregnable, it was opened and I wa
