Escape From Warsaw Book Novels & Stories

Now, I realized I was foolish to leave my family to join Nick's pack. A full bowl of soup was placed before me. Before I could even pick up my spoon, someone stuffed a chicken leg into my hand. I savored each bite slowly, knowing that this was my true home. After dinner, Mom and Francis whispered to each other with strange expressions on their faces, and I thought I heard Nick's name being mentioned.

I wiped the blood from my leg. It didn't matter. I only had a few days left to live anyway. A little more blood loss meant nothing. I turned and went upstairs, grabbing the small bag I had already packed. It was barely luggage, just a small backpack. There was very little here worth taking. When they saw me coming downstairs with my bag, their taunts began anew. "What's this, you've learned to run away from home now?" "The family's rules are meant to protect you, Eleanor. Why can't you ever understand that we have your best interests at heart?"

On the way I messaged my contact from my pack, Hannah, to tell her I had left. In the taxi, I actually felt relieved that he had insisted that the wedding be small, and I did not even tell my clan he had asked me to become his mate. This saved me from dealing with the disgrace of running away. As I entered the airport, I decided to call Alex. I felt I owed him at least that much—to tell him our bond was over. He never picked up the call but sent me an angry voice message back. "Just get to my pack; the Oracle is waiting. Something happened to Elsa, so I will be a bit late. Why are you acting as though I will be running away?"

LEILA . . It was midnight already as I reached for the book Misa had used just hours before. My hands trembled, just a little, as I pulled it close with the cool, smooth cover feeling heavy in my grip. Inside, the rough sketch of the building, the gates, the guards our fragile escape plan was still marked clearly on the page and I had to get rid of it, somehow and the only thought that was coming to my head right there was to tear it up because I wasn’t comfortable.

NOTE: Entrapped By The Devil is Book 2 in "THE PERAZZO" series. It can be read as standalone but will have spoilers from Book 1 (KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA). * * * [25 YEARS AGO] . . . “Spare us, please! We didn’t do anything. Quel ragazzo mente! Mente tra i denti. We didn’t do anything. Let us go, please, sir, andiamo a casa!”

Outside, the snowfall thickened. Somewhere in the distance, sirens began to echo through the city. A phone buzzed on the desk. The new burner we hadn’t used yet. Unknown number. But we both knew who it was. Mom. We didn’t answer. Not yet. Because whatever came next arrests, investigations, headlines, trials none of it could be stopped now. The truth had already escaped into the world. Julian kissed my forehead ge Chapter 35 – The Chicago Vault The Greyhound from Portland to Chicago took twenty-nine hours and change.

So, I need to avoid people as much as I can. Going back to the party. I look around and sees that everyone are having fun. Yeah! Enjoy this day, people. Tomorrow you can't step your foot again in our hotel. Tsk. I sip my wine and watch my dad talking to his comrades. Argh. Business. My father seems looking for me so, I walk towards to them.

No one wants to be singled out and brought inside, but we’ll do it if we have to. The third office is easy to find. We go inside and flip on the lights. It’s a small room, and there aren’t a lot of books on the shelf. He didn’t tell us the name of the book, but it’s pretty clear to me with a quick glance, I can see what book it is. The Great Escape. Aria pulls the book, and the shelf swings open, and a doorway appears. This time, I have to make sure she understands the importance of me going first. I have the gun, and she’s already been shot. “Follow me,” I tell her. Aria nods reluctantly, and I step into the darkness.

Jane's POV The escape from Germany was sloppy and entirely stripped of the precision Benjamin usually traded in. We didn't leave from a private executive terminal, and there were no pristine leather seats to cushion our flight. Instead, we were crammed into the dark, rusted belly of a rundown merchant vessel departing from the northern docks of Bremerhaven, our futures bought with low-tier forged passports that smelled of cheap ink and desperate lies.

I dump my bag on the floor and read through the shelf while pulling books out and mumble as I go. ‘Even a book can be dangerous in the wrong hands.’ ‘Ignite.’ ‘Hell is empty and all the devils are here.’ ‘You’ll make bad choices. Sometimes you’ll choose the best of bad ones.’ ‘Tuesday is Fucked.’ ‘Everything’s a game. And now it’s your turn.’ I have a stack of about 10 books before I abruptly stop. "Next isle." I say and we walk up and down the library isles. I climb and jump to get books off of shelves and Aidan has to catch me a couple of times when I fell.
