Set The Captives Free Book 소설 & 이야기

She just stood there quietly as if she'd finally learned how to set boundaries with him. Larry crouched down, trying not to sound as tense as he felt. "Nora." Nora looked at him without a word. Larry felt his throat tighten. He then retrieved a small box from his pocket. It held a platinum wolf pendant inside, and carved in the back were the words, "For Nora. May you be free always." He didn't give her the wrong fit this time. However, Nora just looked at it for a bit and didn't take it from him. She just asked quietly, "Why are you only now remembering what I like?"

But Anna doesn’t seem to care and as the head of the place. And I would love to care to, but sadly I am just being used by Hardy and this is not my place. And, none of these women should ever find out I am being held captive by Hardy. Because the way they all looked like they’re hungry to find out something about me, anything at all about me. . .*

He was building something. An empire written in blood. "Why are you telling me this?" I asked, even as part of me screamed not to trust her, not to trust anyone in this gods-forsaken place. Elena pressed the bundle into my hands. It was surprisingly heavy. "Because you're not the first royal he's captured. But you're the first one who's still alive after the first night." Ice flooded my veins. "What happened to the others?"

In the dark shaft, among the frozen giants, we flew toward the faint, round light of freedom, flickering somewhere high on the mountain’s peak. But we were not out yet. And the core’s energy had once again drawn attention. The mountain’s gut now knew the prisoners were not just escaping—they were striking back.

I hesitated—but didn’t argue. Outside meant exits and I couldn’t for anything better. A perfect opportunity to escape from the deadly siblings. An hour later, we were at the massive store. It’s been a while I had seen so much people at the same time. Deep down, I was hoping to see someone I knew that could help me escape Damien’s claws. Damien stayed close without touching me, always just there, his presence heavy at my side. Every step felt like a test. I went round the mall picking up clothes and never did I think that I would be able to afford them in my life but there I was picking them for free at least there’s something good that came out of the kidnap.

"In his study. He has a video call with Tokyo. But he said to tell you he'll be back soon and you shouldn't leave your room until he returns." The phrasing bothers me. Shouldn't leave, or can't leave. As if I have a choice but we all know I won't make the wrong one. "Thank you, Claire," I say, trying to keep my voice steady. She hurries out, clearly relieved to escape. I'm alone again, in this beautiful room that feels more like a prison with every passing minute. I walked to the windows, looking out at the city below. People were going about their daily lives, free and unaware. While I'm trapped in a penthouse with a man I barely know, playing a role in a marriage I can't remember.

"Your mark? You speak of this?" She curled her fingers, and the air resonated, bits of light spinning like broken stars around her hands. "The cuff-links that kept me captive? Gone. I am no longer your puppet." Vladimir's eyes sparkled. "You think tossing them away sets you free? You've only just begun to learn what true captivity is.". "Captivity? I lost everything—my family, my home, my future. And you? You took it all to build your throne on bones."

We immediately positioned ourselves and pretended to be on guard. We first made sure that there were no rebels in the distance that we could pass or see. Cayden suddenly did something that I don't understand but Gen suddenly came out, so maybe that's a signal that I just don't get. The captives were suddenly alarmed but I spoke immediately. "We are here to save you. We will all run away, so all of you should not make a noise." I promise here. The captive women took refuge. I opened the lock of the prison but I couldn't handle it so Cayden did it. It's like the ground that the lock was crushed! My god, make sure not to crush Cayden! Haha.

Chapter 37 When the slaughter was complete, Caelum turned to face the cowering slaves, his chest heaving like a bellows, eyes sharp as winter stars. Gore dripped from his chains in slow, hypnotic drops. "The door is open," he commanded, his voice carrying true authority for the first time since his capture. "Run. Take your chance at freedom." But they didn't move. Not one of them stirred from their huddle of despair.
