The table held our drinks, snacks, and personal belongings, keeping everything within easy reach.I sat in a window seat, with Juliet beside me in the middle seat, and Camara occupied the aisle seat, giving plenty of room to stretch out and relax during the flight.As the plane got ready to soar through the skies, Juliet, Camara, and I chatted, laughed, and enjoyed each other's company, feeling grateful for the opportunity to travel and escape London Docklands in warm peace.“Your beauty glows every day, Juliet," I whispered to Juliet, and she chuckled and smiled. “Thanks, Mark, you aren't bad yourself," she responded, her voice laced with joy.“Nice to meet you again, Miss Juliet," I said teasingly, and she smiled.Camara wasn't bothered by our gestures; she had her headphones on, busy pressing her phone, displaying the ever-green song of her favorite female artist

MARK'S POV As I stepped out of the plane in Texas, I was welcomed by the cool atmosphere of the airport and my phone ringtone piercing my ears. I gently moved my hand from Juliet's and shoved it into my pocket. On my glance at the screen, Erick's name was displaying continuously, non-stop. I didn't hesitate; I picked up the call."Hello, Erick. Erick, are you there?" I said, my voice low yet urgent.He sounded disturbed at the receiving end, but I had no visual of him."Erick, I called again," I said, thinking there was a network issue on his phone."Mark, yeah, I'm here. I'm here. Where are you?" he asked, and I was worried about the sudden question from Erick. His call was sufficient for me to think something was off."Erick, I'm in Texas Airport now. I just landed along with Juliet and Camara," I responded to his question.He muted his voice, barely audible, as he said, "Mark, you are in grave danger. I need to know where you are. You are in grave danger; you need to find your way

LORENZO'S POV “Juliet escaped!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I received the bad news at the receiving end.“Malcom, I'm happy to inform you that you're fucking crazy,” I stated, my voice audible and menacing."What insolence! You have the audacity to call me again, that you missed the target? I told you to get Juliet; that was your chance, and now she escaped.” My heart remained heated by their failure.My mind began to play tricks on me: “George has the development boldness to call me again and tell me that he has Diana, my blood sister, captive. “He owes me!" I blurted out to Malcolm on the phone as he tried to explain what really went wrong at the airport, but I didn't care. Even as my voice struggles to get above the beautiful music being played in the club as I await Calvin, who had booked an appointment with me that last week,“I think he will be my best option for getting Juliet; after all, he is Jones’s brother, and Juliet never knew him. I think he will be the be

DIANA'S POVI saw myself lying in a pool of blood, my body weak and limp. Beside me was my brother, Lorenzo, his eyes frozen in a permanent stare. I tried to reach out to him, but my hands felt heavy, as if weighed down by invisible chains.I heard the sound of footsteps echoing off the cold, damp walls. George appeared before me, his knee on my chest, a gun still clutched in his hand. I kicked my brother's lifeless body, trying to know if he was dead or still alive, and I felt a surge of anger and hatred. When he couldn't move or say anything to me.Suddenly, the scene shifted, and I found myself back in the underground warehouse where George, my brother's friend, had been holding me captive. I was locked in a small cell made of cold, grey concrete. Until I heard the sound of an inmate,“My name is Jones,” a voice calls out to me from the other cell."Miss Diana," he kept on calling. I think he must have heard my name from the men who came and brought me here the last time."Why are

DIANA'S POV As I was dragged into the cozy room. My eyes glanced at George and his two men standing upright behind him, dressed in white and black trousers, both heavily loaded with short guns.George was sitting on a wooden chair with his legs crossed over each other, and he held a gun on a wooden table in front of him. While he continued to chuckle and smile, he said, "Oh, see who cares to join us."After a few minutes, he teased me, "What took you so long?" as I was being dragged like a lab rat towards a chair in front of him. “Sit right here." I was forcefully seated on the wooden chair in front of him, making me gaze directly at his eyes. I nearly felt like slapping his face, but my two hands were rendered useless in shackles, and I couldn't lift a finger on him, leaving me to only use my mouth to defend myself."Diana, Diana, Diana, the eyes of Lorenzo are here; you look so much alike," he jokingly spoke, and I was met with a wrong impression about him."You are such a betraye

OLIVIA'S POVI'm so glad you're doing better," I said, fixing a happy gaze on Mrs. Claire. This was when Mr. George turned to give me a smile, and shockingly, he would sit down while we waited for Alex, who had stepped out to grab something to eat.After a few minutes, Alex burst back into the room, out of breath, his face pale with worry. "What's wrong?" I asked, concern etched on my face.Alex rushed to my side and grasped my arm, his eyes darting towards the door, leaving me with a fearful expression. "It's Mr. George," he whispered urgently. "He's on his way here right now."My hands sat frozen, and a chill ran down my spine. Mr. George was the last person I wanted to see, especially after everything that had happened.I felt a surge of fear, and my mind was racing with questions. What did Mr. George want? Why was he coming to the hospital unannounced?Before I could ask any of these questions, we heard the sound of footsteps outside the room, growing louder with each passing seco

I felt he wasn't asking a question, but he wasn't."I'm definitely sure you're the one," he spoke, and his voice left me with a shocking gaze."How do you know my name?" I asked, and he just smiled and chuckled."There's nothing hidden from me in Texas.” He declared in a low tone,“Please, Mr. Calvin, I don't know you," I pleaded, trying to make him see my pale eyes, and maybe I can seize that opportunity to be free.“I've been in Texas for a very long time, and I have people who work for me just to get information for free," he responded, and his response sent shivers down my veins again.I looked at him directly: "What do you really want from me? Please, just let us go, and I'll do anything for you," I pleaded again, trying to save Angel from his wrath.He just smiled, "You don't have to do much for me. The only thing I need from you is to do the right thing. You have a few steps to take," he muttered, his vo

I overheard them discussing the multi-million-worth of diamonds that belong to my father."Khalid added, "They're into diamond mining, coal mining, prostitution, and illegal drugs, just like George.

It's high time you returned our money to us. This isn't a joke anymore.

I asked, trying to clarify."What I'm trying to say is that we need to use his own weapon against him." Why don't we turn his own game back on him?" Juliet asked, her eyes sparkling with determination.I was still confused, and Juliet could see it. She smiled, stood up, and walked towards the mini-bar. She poured herself a glass of red wine and handed me another."What I mean, Mark, is that what if I become one of his subjects?
