Amelia POVThe cold evening air bit at my skin as I huddled with Emily in the corner of the yard, where I seek refuge for myself and my little girl. My heart still raced from the adrenaline, my mind unable to shake the fear that had gripped me inside Dae’s house, when Mr Smith broke in with his armed men. Emily’s soft sniffles finally quieted, her tiny hands clutching my shirt. I stroked her hair, trying to calm both of us, but I couldn't forget the way Mr. Smith had looked at me—like he owned me, like he bought me .But one thing I know is that, am going to pay him back, equally.My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of heavy footsteps approaching Myself and her. I tensed, pulling Emily closer to my body. But then I saw Dae emerging from the shadows, his chest heaving, his shirt torn, and a cut on his brow, which blood flowed out from. He had blood on his knuckles, his hair disheveled. My breath caught in my throat at the sight of him and his unfamiliar look. The fierce look in
Amelia POVThe house felt too quiet as we stepped back inside. Dae’s hand was still gripping mine, firm and steady, but I could feel the tension in his body. Emily stayed close to me, her little hand holding onto my shirt, as if afraid to let go."I need to check the rest of the house," Dae said, his voice low and menacing. "Stay here with Emily. Don’t open the door for anyone else without telling me, Amelia." I gave a smile this time, taking back my tears.I nodded, my heart still racing with anxiety. He gave me one last look, his eyes filled with something I couldn't quite place and understand, was it fear, or maybe regret—before he disappeared down the hallway of the building. Emily shifted in my arms. "Mommy, are we going to be okay,since grandpa know where are here?"I forced a smile on my face brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "Of course yes, sweetheart. Dae won’t let anything happen to us, since that's his little promise to us."But deep down, I wasn’t so sure to tr
Amelia POVThe room stayed quiet and calm, except for the sound of Emily's soft breathing as she dozed off in my lap. My mind was racing unstop, trying to figure out who had taken us and why. The silence after the figure had left was suffocating, like waiting for something terrible to happen.Suddenly, the door creaked open again, making fear and lots of negative thought crawl into my head. I tensed, pulling Emily closer as I watched the shadow of a man fill the doorway. This time, I could make out more of him. Tall. Broad shoulders. But the way he stood there, just watching, made my stomach churn and my chest ache .And then he stepped into the light of the cell.My heart stopped at first with whom am see."Bryan?" The word slipped from my mouth before I could stop it. Disbelief flooded my body, my mind trying to process what I was seeing at this time.It wad actually my ex-husband. The man I had left behind, the man I decided to keep as my past. The man who had once begged me to
Amelia POVThe sound of the door slamming echoed in the small room, leaving me with a pounding heart and a flood of emotions. My mind raced for a way out, but I couldn't let Bryan see the panic that was in me already. I had to stay calm and act strong—for Emily.The room was dim, the only light filtering through a tiny window high above. I could barely make out the worn furniture in the corner and the peeling wallpaper. Everything about this place screamed abandonment, like Bryan had planned this for a long time."Mommy?" Emily's small voice broke the silence, her sleepy eyes blinking up at me. "Where are we?" She asked looking around with curiosity.I crouched down to her level, stroking her hair with a fake smile on my face. "It's okay, sweetheart. We're going to be fine here. Just stay close to me and be strong.""Are we still with Dae ?" she asked, her little voice trembling with little fear.I hesitated, trying to find the right words to convince her with. "No, baby. We're...
Amelia POVWhen I came to, my head was pounding, and the world was spinning around like the wheel of a car. A dull ache throbbed in my temples, but that was nothing compared to the dread clawing at my chest. Emily.I blinked, trying to push through the white fog clouding my vision, but panic surged as I remembered the last few moments before everything went dark.Emily’s screams, Bryan’s grip on my arm... I bolted upright, my breath coming in sharp gasps as I scanned the whole room.Walked back to the room but this time it was, colder. I was lying on a dusty floor, in what seemed like an abandoned warehouse. The room smelled of mildew and damp wood. The faint sound of footsteps echoed in the distance, but there was no sign of Emily.I tried to stand, my legs shaky beneath me, but the dizziness made me stumble onto the bare floor. I gripped the wall for support, forcing myself to focus on my main reason here.“Emily…” I whispered, my voice hoarse, but no answer came up from her. At t
Amelia POV"Dae?" I called out, my voice trembling as the door rattled from the other end. His voice, urgent and filled with concern, sent a flood of relief through me, but it was short-lived. I was still trapped in this room."Amelia, stay back!" Dae’s voice was closer now, gruff and commanding and also sending warnings. I could hear a struggle outside, and my heart raced as I pressed myself against the door to really know what is happening.I wasn’t sure how he had found me in here, but I wasn’t about to question it, but I wanted to leave this bondage of a house. I just needed to get out of here, get Emily, and run for our lives.Suddenly, the door flew open with a bang, revealing Dae standing there, disheveled but determined to down what her wanted.His eyes locked onto mine, and for a moment, the world seemed to slow down in time."Are you okay?" he asked, his voice breathless, but his gaze was searching, scanning me from head to toe as if he was in search of something."I—I'm f
Amelia POVThe deafening sound of the gunshot hung in the air, reverberating through the empty lot. My heart stopped for a minute, a sharp gasp escaping my lips as I instinctively froze, my eyes wide with fear and anxiety."Emily!" I screamed, my voice cracking up and tears trying to make it way down.But there was no movement after the gunshot. For a split second, I thought the worst, until I saw Bryan’s eyes widen in shock due to my own reaction. His hand trembled as he dropped the gun, a low growl of pain escaping through him. His free hand clutched his shoulder, blood siping through his fingers at almost same time. Dae was already standing in front of me, his gun still aimed at Bryan heads, his stance solid and unshaken."Don’t, move an inch." Dae’s voice was cold and menacing, a sharp contrast to the warmth I’d come to know. His arm was steady as he trained his sights on Bryan, daring him to make a wrong move.Bryan groaned, stumbling backward as Emily darted out of his rea
Amelia POVThe moment we burst through the back door of the safe house, Dae slammed it shut behind us, leaning against it as if he could barricade the entire world with his body. His face was pale, his hand still clutching his bleeding side, but his eyes were laser-focused.“Dae,” I panted, breathless, holding Emily closer to my chest z that was racing with lot if anxiety. “You’re hurt. You need to sit down and have some rest."“We don’t have time,” he snapped, pushing off the door with anger in his tone. His eyes flicked around the room, searching for what I couldn't say. “We need to get out of here. Now.”“We can’t keep running away from those Beast!” I protested, panic rising in my chest at same time. “Where are we supposed to go to now? We’re out of options, Dae. We’re trapped here and we have to accept fate the way it already kept for us.”He looked at me, his jaw clenched. “Amelia we’re not trapped. We just need a plan to help us out of here.” He paused, then added after a s
