I made seven consecutive calls. It kept ringing all the way to voicemail, which made me sick to my stomach hearing Adrian's pleasant voice telling me to leave my name and message."He won't answer," I said. My voice squeaked in terror.My fingers were numb and my chest felt like an invisible force was compressing it. Marcus reached for his phone."I'm contacting his security detail in Switzerland," he said. "They'll be able to give us more details."Samuel got up from the sofa, took Grace from me. For God's sake, she was still asleep, praise be to God. I didn't think I would survive watching her crying."Let's call our sources in the facility," Samuel proposed.I sat with Grace while my brain went through all kinds of worst-case scenarios: what if the guys working for Catherine caught up to Adrian? What if my mother had disappeared? What if this entire journey was a set-up?"Elena.""Huh?""Moment, breathe.""My heart beats perfectly fine.""You're hyperventilating."As Marcus said, m

I did not get any sleep during the night. No way I could close my eyes. All I saw were photos. Adrian with his hands tied, bloody face, broken nose, bruised eyes… Grace slept in her bassinet, right next to my bed, and all I did was stare at her peaceful breathing. Small. Vulnerable. Helpless. Just like Adrian is now.But I still had some food inside me. Samuel forced me to sit and eat toast with butter at six in the morning. And when I chewed and swallowed, it seemed there was no taste in anything."The people who work for Marcus will be waiting at the airport for you," Samuel told me, holding Grace in his arms. "They are called Tom and Lisa. They know Switzerland, they will help you.""They better know how to be discreet.""They're doing their job very well," Samuel assured. "You won't have to do this alone, Elena. They're in the same building, not in the same room.""That is exactly what matters."Marcus entered from the hallway carrying a duffel bag and having the expression on his

Glass shattered, and I covered my face to avoid any cuts from the debris flying inside. Tiny shards of glass rained down, stinging my cheeks and arms. I could hear Dr. Meier yelling something in German. I caught sight of his hand reaching into his jacket pocket and throwing his gun to the floor. I heard a thud and saw the doctor grabbing his shoulder with blood dripping from his white coat sleeve.Two figures broke through the window. They wore black tactical uniforms with visors covering their heads. The first one tackled Dr. Meier to the floor and made a loud sound as he was punched in the face. The second rushed to Adrian and started cutting off his handcuffs with a tiny metal device."Elena, get down!" Adrian yelled.I fell to my knees and slowly crept towards the corner of the room. The wound on my belly burned with each motion I made. Glass cracked under my knees.Dr. Meier was howling something incomprehensible in German. The punch to his face silenced him abruptly. The second

It was deathly silent. And it was like some invisible force had pinioned the air against the floor. Marcus had his hand on the gun, a grin that had nothing to do with the one he usually wore playing across his face. This wasn't the half-grin I was used to seeing. It was a real grin, and the sight of it sent shivers down my spine."Marcus," Adrian called calmly. "What's she talking about?"Marcus stayed quiet, his fingers gripping the trigger while he sized up his options and his victims."You put your name on the transfer documents," Samuel said slowly, taking several steps backwards and raising his hands. "You witnessed Victoria signing her ownership rights to the company over to me.""I've witnessed many things." Marcus answered quietly. "Not every single witness has anything to do with the case. Sometimes the person witnessing just happens to be standing close by.""What does that mean?" I frowned."Are you seriously asking what it means?" Adrian took a step forward and positioned
