All Chapters of Midnight Sins: 30 Shades of Filthy Forbidden Desires : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Belli stared at the phone in Zack’s hand. The message from Emily felt like a knife in her chest.“You can run, Sin. But you can’t hide forever. Tell my sister I said hello. And that I’m coming for both of you. E”She read it again. And again. Her hands started shaking.“She knows where we are?” Belli whispered. Her voice was small. Scared.Zack put the phone down. He pulled her closer. “No. She’s just trying to scare us. This phone is new. No one has this number except Henry. She’s bluffing.”But Belli could see the worry in his eyes. He wasn’t sure either.She stood up and walked to the small window. The rain was still falling hard. The trees outside looked like dark shadows. The cabin felt small. Too small.“I don’t understand her,” Belli said. “She was my big sister. She protected me. She worked so hard for us. How did she become this… this person who wants to hurt me?”Zack came up behind her. He didn’t touch her. He just stood close. “Pain changes people. It changed her. She los

Belli sat on the wooden steps of the cabin, staring at the trees. The morning air was cool and fresh after the rain. Zack was inside making coffee. She had asked for a few minutes alone. She needed to think. To remember.The memories of Emily came slowly at first. Then all at once.She remembered being eight years old. Their parents had just died. The house was quiet and empty. Emily, only sixteen, had held her tight on the couch.“I’ve got you, Belli,” Emily had whispered. “I’ll take care of us. I promise.”And she did.Emily worked two jobs. She cooked dinner every night. She helped Belli with homework. She smiled even when she was exhausted. “We’re going to be okay,” she would say, braiding Belli’s hair. “As long as we have each other.”Belli smiled sadly at the memory. That Emily was gone now. The strong, loving big sister had been replaced by someone cold. Someone angry. Someone who wanted to destroy everything.She remembered the day Emily got the job at Midnight Sins.“I’ll mak

The rain fell harder as they drove away from the factory. The wipers on the SUV worked fast, but the water still blurred the windshield. Belli’s fingers dug into the seat. Her nails left small marks in the leather. Every time the tires slipped on the wet road, her stomach twisted. She kept swallowing, trying to push down the sour taste in her mouth.Zack’s breathing was heavy beside her. His knuckles were white on the steering wheel. A small drop of blood from the cut on his lip mixed with the rain on his face. The car smelled like gunpowder, wet clothes, and fear.“We can’t go back to the penthouse,” Zack said quietly. “They’ll be watching all of my places.”Belli nodded. Her throat felt tight. She kept looking in the side mirror, expecting headlights to appear behind them at any second.They drove for almost an hour. The city lights faded. The road became narrower. Trees closed in on both sides. The old cabin appeared in the distance. Dark. Quiet. Hidden.Zack parked behind it, out

The SUV sped through the dark streets. Zack’s hands were tight on the wheel. Belli sat low in the passenger seat, heart still racing from the park. The smell of gunpowder clung to their clothes. Her ears were ringing. Every shadow on the road made her flinch.Zack glanced at her. “You okay?”Belli nodded, but her hands wouldn’t stop shaking. “I saw her eyes. She really hates you. She really wants to destroy us.”Zack didn’t answer right away. He turned down a quiet side road. The city lights were far behind them now. The road was empty. Only the sound of the engine and their breathing filled the car.“We need a new place,” Zack said. “The cabin isn’t safe anymore. Emily knows too much.”Belli looked out the window. The trees passed by in a blur. “Where can we go?”Zack’s jaw tightened. “I have one more safe house. Further out. No one knows about it. Not even Henry.”They drove in silence for a long time. Belli’s mind kept going back to the park. To Emily’s face. To the way her sister

Nobody moved.The room stayed silent except for the sound of everyone breathing.Zack kept his gun raised. His finger hovered near the trigger.Emily stood in the broken doorway. Her pistol hung loosely at her side. Tears ran down her face, but she didn't wipe them away."Put the gun down," Zack said.Emily shook her head."I don't have time."Belli slowly stepped out from behind the couch. Her legs trembled. Her fingers dug into the back of the couch for support. Her breathing came fast and shallow. What is she doing here? Is this a trap? Is she going to shoot him? Shoot me? We're all going to die here."Emily..."Emily looked at her little sister. For a moment, the anger in her eyes disappeared."You shouldn't have come here," Belli whispered."I had to.""You've been hunting us.""I know.""You told everyone Zack kidnapped me."Emily lowered her head."I know."Belli frowned."Then why are you here?"Emily looked toward the window. Her free hand clenched into a fist at her side."T
