My heart skipped a beat. I had to get out of there, but I was frozen in terror. I felt my earring slip from my ear, the clatter of it hitting the ground echoing in the stillness of the night. “No!” I gasped, my eyes wide with fear.I’d never imagined such a scenario could unfold, but there I was, hiding behind a tree and straining to hear every sound. The last thing I expected was for the jingle of my earring to catch their attention, but when I heard a sharp intake of breath, I knew I’d been caught. My heart was racing, and my stomach churned with dread. What would happen next?“Did you hear that?” The man who seemed to be their leader sniffed the air, his eyes scanning the surrounding area. His head turned toward my hiding place, and my heart skipped a beat. Would I be found out?“I heard it too,” said one of the men, pointing to the bush where I was hiding. My heart leaped into my throat and I didn’t know whether to run, scream, or stay frozen where I was. My body was shaking, my b

Lilian Pov.....Just as I was about to reach the door, I heard the sound of a floorboard creaking beneath my feet. I froze, holding my breath and praying that I hadn't been heard. But it was too late. A deep, rumbling voice came from behind me.As I turned, my heart pounded with the force of a thousand drums, and my breath caught in my throat. There, standing before me, was none other than Ryan, his piercing gaze boring into me. I stood frozen, unable to find the words to reply. What had I done to deserve this? I racked my brain for an explanation, but came up empty. All I could do was stare back, wide-eyed and terrified.My words seemed to hang in the air, suspended in the tension between us. Ryan's eyes narrowed, and I could feel the weight of his gaze like a physical force. "You had no right to come here. You could have been hurt. I told you to stay downstairs." His voice was like a whip, cutting through the silence with brutal efficiency. I flinched, my body trembling under the we

Lilian Pov……“What is going on?” I demanded, looking at Ryan’s face, which was twisted with fury. “How dare he ruin our function?” were the last words I heard before he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the window. As we approached it, I felt something hard and cold press against my back.I struggled to find words, but before I could speak, I was already floating in the air. I felt dizzy and disoriented, and my heart raced as I tried to make sense of what was happening. Why did Ryan save me? We had always hated each other. I didn’t understand why he would risk his life for me. As I drifted higher and higher, my mind whirled with unanswered questions.“Just take the bag off when you get close to the ground,” I heard his voice through the commotion.“But what about you?” I asked, looking at him with concern. “What if you get hurt?”“Don’t worry about me,” he replied with a strange mix of confidence and sadness in his voice. “You have to get out of here, and I’ll be fine.”I hesitate

Lilian Pov….Something had shifted inside of me – a sudden rush of confidence that I couldn’t explain. Now I knew that I wasn’t the only one who could be ordered around, and I was determined to show him that he wasn’t as powerful as he thought. I had a plan, and as soon as my hands touched that box, he would be finished. It was only the beginning of my revenge, and I could hardly wait to see the look on his face when he realized that his power was gone.The scowl on his face had been replaced by a sickly-sweet smile, and I knew immediately what he was up to. He was trying to play nice for the cameras, hoping to score some points with the press. I had to hand it to him – he was a master manipulator, and he knew exactly how to work the crowd.“I think you’ve got quite the catch, Mr. Ryan,” a guy said, a smile playing on his lips. “Your wife is beautiful, and I’m sure you’re lucky to have her. Although, if I had met her first, I might have been the one to win her over!Really? I think yo

Ryan Pov.....As I helped her into the car, I noticed how damp her hands were. She had been visibly nervous for a while, and I couldn't figure out why."We're going to have to act like we're in love," I whispered in her ear. "I know it's not ideal, but it's the only way to keep us safe. If anyone suspects anything, it could be very dangerous for us."She nodded, her eyes wide with fear. I could tell she was struggling to process everything that was happening. "I understand," she said quietly."You're not finished telling me about the mark on your breast. I know there's more to the story, and I want to hear the whole thing.""When I was taken, my captor was a cruel and heartless man. He marked my chest with a burning piece of wood," she said, her voice shaking as she spoke. I studied her for a moment, trying to decide if I believed her story. It sounded far-fetched, but something in her eyes made me think she might be telling the truth."Are you sure, Olivia?" I try to act tough to see

Lilian Pov….“I’m so sorry for the delay,” the makeup artist said as we walked down the highway towards my room. “I got caught up in traffic and I didn’t want to keep you waiting.”I nodded, but my mind was elsewhere. I was thinking about the box I’d seen in Ryan’s room, the box that seemed to hold some sort of power over him. If I could get my hands on that box, I could finally set things right. I could make him pay for what he’d done.The makeup artist continued to apologize, but I barely heard her words. My focus was fixed.I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that box again. It had been so long since I’d last seen it, and I never thought I would get the chance to hold it in my hands again. But here it was, and it felt like a gift from the universe. It was almost as if the box itself had been waiting for me to find it. I smiled to myself, a feeling of excitement and satisfaction bubbling up inside me. I knew this was going to make everything easier. My revenge would finally be in
