EMMAThe lights in this place were too white and they buzzed like flies making me a little uncomfortable. I was on a bed that doesn’t really look like a hospital bed, this was cleaner and sleeker. The sheets didn’t smell like antiseptic. They smelled like nothing. And that was worse. “Deep breath,” Dr Adrian said.A hand pressed against my ribs.I flinched. “Easy,” he said. “You’re safe. You’re at my facility. We brought you in ten minutes ago, you kinda passed out in the car.” It all started coming back in pieces. The bag over my head. The needle I was injected. Their voice. Tell me who else knows Elena is alive?. My throat closed. “Emma?” Adrian’s face swam into focus. “Can you hear me?” I nodded. Or tried to. My neck felt like it was made of glass. “You’ve got a contusion on your left cheekbone,” he said, dabbing something cold against it. “Some bruising around your wrists. Rope burn. But nothing’s broken. You’re lucky.” Lucky?, I almost laughed. It came out as a cough.

DANIELI slammed the car door so hard the whole frame shook. The facility looked the same. Guards were at the door just like I had instructed Adrain to tighten the security. I took two steps at a time. Adrian was in the hallway outside Emma’s room, talking to one of his men. He had his hands in his pockets like an innocent guy…. but then he had just been accused of God knows what by a ghost in a warehouse. My vision went red. I didn’t think. I grabbed his collar and dragged him. “Daniel—” “Outside,” I growled. “Now!.” Ava’s voice came from Emma’s room. “Daniel?” I didn’t answer her and I didn’t stop either.I pulled Adrian past the security checkpoint,out into the back lot where his cars were parked.The second we were alone, I swung. My fist connected with his jaw soo hard, I could almost feel my bone break. His head snapped to the side.“Daniel What the—“ I gave him another blow before he could finish his statement.He wiped his mouth and looked at me. “Feel better?” I swun

AVAThe candles flickered. Wax pooled on the floor. The smell was thick…,vanilla and smoke and something older like a church that hadn’t been opened in years.“I didn’t bring you here to hurt you,” Nate said. His voice was careful. Like he was talking to something that might bolt. “I just… I needed you to see.”“Ooh soo you knew I was going to come?.” I said while he nodded in agreement “See what?” I asked again. My arms were crossed and my heart was pounding, but I wouldn’t let him see it. He didn’t answer right away. He turned and walked deeper into the warehouse. Towards a door I hadn’t noticed. “Come,” he said. I hesitated, every instinct screamed at me to run. But I had to do it…I followed. The room was smaller with no windows. More candles were there. And on every wall was..,,Wtf ??“Where did you get all these?” I finally said after a few minutes of leaving my mouth ajar.These were my pictures right from when I was eighteen, my graduation, me laughing with friends I didn’t

DANIEL“The fuck, why is she not replying?” My voice shook the walls. Adrian didn’t flinch. “She needed space, Daniel. You saw her face. If you push her now, she’ll shatter.” “She’s not glass,” I snapped. “She’s Ava. And she just walked out and not saying a single damn word and now not replying her text. And you… you told me to give her a minute….I can’t believe I listened to you.”I was pacing. Had been for twenty minutes. Since she walked past us like we were furniture neither of us has been at rest.“She went to Julian,” Adrian said quietly. “What?” “My security detail pinged her plates. She’s at Verre. Rooftop bar. He’s there too.” My stomach dropped. “And you didn’t stop her?” “I didn’t know until thirty seconds ago,” Adrian said. “Daniel—” I was already moving. “Daniel, wait—” The night hit me cold and sharp. I didn’t really have a plan. I just ran down the steps, past the gate and into the street like my legs could outrun the panic clawing up my throat. I flagged a c

AVA“Ready?” I asked, standing in the doorway of Emma’s room at Adrian’s facility. Emma was shoving clothes into a duffel bag. Still in Adrian’s sweatpants.“As I’ll ever be. You sure your husband won’t shoot me for bleeding on his marble?” “Daniel doesn’t shoot people,” I said. Then paused. “Usually.” She threw a pillow at me. “And he is not my husband,” I paused again.” Yet.”This left Emma laughing out loudly.“Right, Ava…I heard Sophia is awake” She said amidst laughter.“Yes, to God be the glory..She is.”“Let’s go see them before I leave.”“Okay” I replied, smiling at Emma.We went to Sophia’s room. Clara was still curled on the bed with Sophia, brushing her hair with slow little strokes. Like if she stopped, Sophia might disappear again. Sophia saw me first. “Miss Ava!” That rusty little giggle. It cracked something open in my chest. “Hey, baby,” I said, sinking to my knees beside the bed. “How are you feeling now?” “Tired,” she replied honestly. “But… okay.”“You are,”
