Chapter 109

Victoria's POV

Damn. My head hurts so badly. I tried to move my hand to rub my temple, but my fingers felt numb. Why? Could I have been sleeping for so long? Panic rose within me as I struggled to understand my situation. Why am I unable to move my hands?

I opened my eyes, blinking against the harsh light, and my gaze fell on an unfamiliar room. The walls were barren, painted a dull gray, and there was an eerie silence that pressed down on me. Where am I? Am I dreaming? My heart raced as I looked down and realized I was chained to the bed.

Chains. Thick, unyielding metal coiled around my wrists and ankles, biting into my skin. A shiver of terror coursed through me. Why? Who dares do this?

Memories came flooding back—his face, that ugly smirk as he injected something into my neck. My breathing quickened. Damn. I’ve been kidnapped. I have to escape. I have to!

I strained against the chains, my muscles burning with the effort, but it was futile. The cold, unyieldi

    Chapter 110 Victoria's POV I waited for what seemed like an hour, crouched in absolute silence. My body trembled with adrenaline, each second stretching into eternity. Finally, when I was sure the monster had moved far enough, I scrambled to my feet. Every muscle in my body protested as I stood, sore. I grabbed my clothes from the floor, yanking them on with trembling hands. Fear clouded my thoughts, but one thing was crystal clear: I had to get out of here. Now. The window caught my eye. It was my only way out. I ran to it and yanked at the frame with all my strength, but it wouldn’t budge. A pang of desperation shot through me as I tried again and again. Sealed shut. “Come on, come on!” I whispered frantically, my voice barely audible. My gaze darted around the room until it landed on a heavy lamp on the bedside table. Without a second thought, I grabbed it, the weight almost too much for my exhausted arms. My heart thundered as I lifted it over my head. With a deep brea

    Chapter 111 Julian's POV "Any news about Celine?" My voice was sharp with impatience as I paced the office, my fingers running through my hair in frustration. Marcus stood before me. "No, sir. We haven't been able to reach her." Damn. My jaw clenched as I processed his words. Where could she be? Had something happened to her? The thought gnawed at me, filling my chest with unease. "Have you made a report?" I asked, my voice tight. Marcus hesitated. "I wanted to inform you first and then get a go-ahead from you." I exhaled heavily, rubbing my temple. "Yeah, file a missing person report. But make it discreet. Nobody outside this office must know that one of our employees is missing. Make sure the other employees don’t say anything either. Our reputation is at stake." Marcus straightened, nodding. "Understood, sir. I'll handle it immediately." "Good," I muttered. After a beat of silence, I shifted my focus. "Any news about Victoria?" Marcus’s expression darkened, his lips pres

    Chapter 112 Victoria’s POV When I woke again, my head was pounding like a jackhammer. Damn. My eyelids felt heavy, and my body ached like I had been run over by a truck. What the hell happened? I blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the dimly lit room. My stomach twisted as I realized—I was back. Back in this hellhole. I shot up quickly, my breathing ragged, my hands instinctively reaching for my wrists. Thank goodness, I wasn’t tied this time. But that relief was short-lived because the reality of my situation came crashing down again. Caleb. That traitor. I still couldn't wrap my head around it. Caleb was working for Zayn. My stomach churned at the thought. How the hell had they even met? I ran a shaky hand through my hair, trying to gather my thoughts. I had escaped. I had almost tasted freedom. And now? Now, I was trapped again. Shit. Then, I heard it—the faint murmur of voices outside the door. My pulse quickened. I pushed myself off the bed, ignoring the weakness in

"The company is facing a serious financial crisis, and we've been forced to make some tough decisions. Unfortunately, that includes letting go of our part-time staff."I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. "You're firing me?" I clarified, trying to process the news.He nodded. "I'm afraid so. Your last paycheck will be mailed to you within the next two weeks."Stunned, I gathered my belongings and left the office, wondering how I would break the news to Mom with her health.As I walked out into the crisp afternoon air, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. Just then, my phone buzzed with a text from Isabella, my best friend:"When are you getting off work? Let's meet and celebrate your birthday. Don't tell me you are planning on celebrating it with that jerk."I stared blanking at the

I asked, my voice shaking. "They are stabilizing her, the doctor will come out soon." I nodded, trying to stay calm.Just then, the doctor emerged, looking expressionless. "How is my mom?" I asked, tears threatening to fall."Are you her daughter?" He asked. I nodded in affirmation. "Why didn't you bring her in all these days?" the doctor's tone was gentle, but laced with concern."I...I didn't know it was this serious," I stammered."Your mother has Stage IV Renal Cell Carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer. It's aggressive and requires immediate attention."My world crumbled."Doctor, what is to be done?" Isabella asked, her voice cracking "We need to perform a nephrectomy to remove the affected kidney. But it's complex and costly.""Surgery?" I whispered. The doctor nodded.I felt a lump f

I felt like slapping him. What did he take me for? Do I look like a slut? And here I was thinking he looked like a model.Taah!Fuck those my thoughts!"Don't worry, to people you will be my wife, and it's only for eighteen months as stated in the contract," he added. "Do I look that cheap?" I asked, and tore the paper. "How will you even suggest that type of thing to a stranger?" Julian's smirk faltered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. "Ah, come now, Sophie. Don't be dramatic. It's just a mutually beneficial arrangement.""Mutually beneficial?" I repeated, incredulous. "You think using me as your sex toy is beneficial to me?"Julian shrugged. "You'll get to live a life of luxury, and your mother will receive the best medical care. What more could you want?""I want respect," I said, my vo

    Behind the billonaire's mask!Chapter 4Julian's POV "Hello, Marcus," I said, on the phone with my secretary. "I need you to draft another contract. Sophie seems hesitant, but I'm confident she'll come around."Marcus's voice was smooth on the other end. "Yes, sir. And what about the terms? Should I make any adjustments?""Yes," I replied. "Add that she is to move into my house immediately. And she needs my permission to leave the house."Marcus's pause was almost imperceptible. "Understood, sir.""But do you really have to do this?" My friend, Caleb, said immediately I ended the call. Caleb had been my best friend for many years. We had both met in the organisation as a fellow assassin, I had quit because of an incident a year ago, but Caleb is still in the business. "Yes." I replied curtly."But she's innocent. It's one woman who hurt you. Why are you taking your revenge on the other innocent woman?" he said in a low and urgent voice. I stood, pacing around the room. "You don't u

"What of her mother and her friend?""I haven't seen anyone with her today, and her mom is in the operating room." Marcus said. I nodded and quickly pulled out my phone to dial her number, but she didn't pick up.I turned and walked into the hospital, scanning the area. Where could she be? What's this girl trying to pull with me? "Find her," I ordered, turning to Marcus."Yes, sir," Marcus replied, walking towards the exit.I sat down outside the operating room.As I scrolled through my phone, I heard sobs.

"Celine is not here again?""Yes, sir," Sandra confirmed."And have you tried reaching her? It's been two days already that she's been AWOL," I pressed."Yes, we have, but her number is switched off," Athena interjected, her brow furrowing slightly."Does any of you know her home address?" I asked."No, she doesn't speak much about herself," Sandra said, glancing at the floor as if it held answers."Okay, okay," I said. I walked into my office, my mind racing with thoughts. Why had Celine been absent for two days? She wasn’t the type to suddenly abandon her job, at least not in the short time I had known her.Could it be that she left because I complained about her clothes? Should I have kept quiet? But this is a workplace. I can’t just ignore inappropriate attire. It looked seductive, even if she didn’t intend it to b

    Chapter 107 Victoria's POV "I'll be back in the next ten minutes, I promise." I said, trying to sound convincing. "No, bitch. You'll go when we are done." He tightened his grip on my hands, his fingers digging into my skin. I felt a surge of panic. This idiot won't let me go until I satisfy him, and I have to fight for myself. Julian or Jaxon isn't here to fight for me; I have to stand up for myself. I positioned myself, and aimed to hit him where the sun doesn't shine. But the idiot dodged it, and I nearly fell on my face if not for his grip on my wrist. "I know bitches like you, so I'm ready for you today." He scoffed, an irritating smirk plastered across his face. My blood boiled; I felt the urge to slap that smirk off him. But is it supposed to be this hard? Is it by force? Can't I just say no again? Ah! I can't blame him; that's how ugly asses do—always trying to assert control. Dammit! No way out! I have to satisfy this idiot first! What if Caleb had gone before we

Dad followed suit, passing Jane to Julian, who received her with a careful grace, his expression softening as he looked down at her. "Are you leaving because I'm here?" Julian asked. "No, no, no, my son. We've been planning on leaving for a while now, but it just coincides with the time you got back." my dad replied, his hand on Julian's shoulder. "Yesh, we just came to keep your wife company." Isabella said. "Yeah, I noticed you've been missing work these days—flirting around. Is that true?" Julian asked, a teasing tone lacing his words as he raised an eyebrow at Isabella. "Well...I do as i please. No one can tell me what to do." Isabella replied, sticking out her tongue in playful defiance. "Hubby, I have gist for you regarding Izzy," I interjected, eager to stir the pot a

    Chapter 105 Victoria's POV I walked into Julian's office, my heels clicking against the tiled floor and turned towards the door to close it; the aim was to make my ass show. I turned back toward Julian, and I noticed he had been focused on his computer. I doubt if he had even noticed my present not to talk of the subtle display of my butty that I had put on. "Good morning, sir." I greeted, trying to sound as sweet as possible. "Good morning, Celine." he replied, his gaze still fixed on his system. "You came early today?" I asked, swaying my hips slightly as I walked toward his desk. "Yes, I had some work to complete, but I guess I am done now." he said, finally lifting his gaze to meet mine. His tone neutral, he hadn't even noticed the display i had put on for him. "What are my schedule for today?" "You have a meeting with Mr. Morgan by 10 a.m., a general meeting with the shareholders by 1 p.m., and a visit to the health centre by 4p.m. That's all, sir." I said. "G

"Yeah, I just want to stop being idle at home and at least make a living and not depend on my husband on my husband entirely." I said. "As if he complained." Isabella muttered, and I shot her a death glare. I am going to deal with her later, I can't believe she went to tell my parents. The visit today was supposed to be a normal visit, but now I was going to get lectured for the rest of the day. "No, Bella said you have other reasons; she said you were afraid your husband's female employees would snatch away your husband from you, especially one called...Serene or..." my mom said. "Celine, mom." Isabella completed. That roach. I'm so going to deal with her. Snitch. "Yeah, Celine." my mom said. "It's not like that, mom. I'm just being conscious." I defended. "No, she isn't.
