JANICEAlexander Kane’s party for me happened to be a masked party. A masked party that was in full swing by the time I was allowed to make my entrance.I stood at the top of the grand staircase, looking down at the glittering ballroom of the mansion. There were crystal chandeliers casting golden light across hundreds of masked guests in their designer gowns and tailored tuxedos. Laughter, clinking glasses, and soft classical music filled the air.It was beautiful.Opulent.And the entire thing was completely suffocating.Nancy was locked safely in her room for the night. Alexander didn’t have any morality issue with bringing my younger sister to this party, so I had to put my foot down—she was too young to mingle with this crowd. These people, from what I had gathered from my lessons and movies, were sharks, and my little sister was never going to swim with them.Taking the girl abroad after all this nonsense.My eyes scanned the sea of masks desperately. Where are you? Where are yo

JANICEI kept on running like my life fucking depended on it.The torn remains of the ball gown kept on tripping me up so many times it was a miracle I didn’t fall flat on my face, as I sprinted through the deeper parts of the dark gardens, heart slamming against my ribs. The gazebo. All I had to do was get to the gazebo and maybe… Well, I had an inkling of what would happen if those men got their hands on me. The gazebo was close—just past the rose bushes, half-hidden by overgrown vines. If I could reach it, maybe I could catch my breath.Maybe I could hide for just a few seconds.But I could hear them behind me. Those heavy footsteps followed by their low laughter. The three of them chased me like predators who knew they’d already won. This was nothing but a game to them.I was so close. My bare feet pounded the grass. The gazebo was right there… and then I was free falling. My foot caught on a root, causing me to trip hard, and then I crashed onto the soft earth with a startled cry

JANICEWith Nancy spending her time learning all about the countries of the world and ways to resolve their problems, I have breakfast with Alexander who’s sitting across from me. I just pushed food around my plate.“I cannot live like this anymore,” I said finally, setting my fork down. It had been on my mind since we started living here and perhaps it was time to bring it up for the second time. “I need a phone. This isolation is ridiculous at this point.”Alexander took a slow sip of his coffee, watching me over the rim. I expected resistance, but the older man smiled faintly and reached into his jacket. He slid a sleek looking gift box across the table toward me.“You don’t have to demand, Janice. I already got what you needed.”I opened the box to find the latest model phone sitting inside, all sleek and expensive. My fingers trembled slightly as I picked it up.“I was going to give it to you yesterday after the party,” he continued smoothly, “but you were… occupied with those me

LUCIANTrust no one.My father fucking loved that saying. And when it came to a world like ours, that was the best advice to receive and listen to.I honestly wished I listened to it more often.For the past week, Calder had become our lifeline. Not because Aiden and I didn’t want to—we needed to hear her voice badly—but simply because Calder loved doing this and we couldn’t bear to take it away from him.Every evening he would relay fresh information from Janice using the burner phone he had gotten for her—guard shift changes, Elias condition, the layout of this hidden basement if she wouldn’t be able to help us, and how Alexander was growing suspicious of her constant stalling.Apparently, she had told Alexander she wanted to kill Elias to get her revenge on me, because I wanted to kill her. An entire roller coaster. Her constant delay could only mean something was wrong. Alexander did not rise to the top of his career by being a fool.If he discovered her betrayal, that man might n

JANICEMarry Tam?I couldn’t believe I just agreed to get married to Thomas Anderson, a.k.a Tam, my tutor—whom I knew nothing about. And bear an heir because that was the only way I could make my so-called father happy enough to let them go.It was the right thing to do… it was the only thing to do, given the situation.“Janice, darling, you can’t do that…”“Over my dead body!”“If you think I’d let you do that, you must be mistaken. Janice…”I felt the light brush of Calder’s fingers at the edge of my elbow—the last physical attempt to stop me but it was too late. I walked straight to the other side of the room, doing my best not to flinch when Tam wrapped his arm around my shoulder, holding me in place. His nasty cologne enveloped me, almost choking me with the harsh scent. It was the right thing to do. I wasn’t going to let them get hurt.“Please… please just go.”All I could do was watch as four of Alexander’s burly and sour looking men marched behind them at the tilt of their lea
