Hannah stood in the dimly lit warehouse, her fingers clenched into fists at her sides.

The stale scent of dust and oil filled the air, mingling with the cold fear settling deep in her stomach.

The warehouse was one of many they had searched in the last twenty-four hours, but this one felt different.

The moment she stepped inside, a weird sensation crawled over her skin, like a presence lingering just out of sight.

Lucas moved beside her, scanning the rows of crates stacked high against the walls. His jaw was tight, his frustration barely concealed beneath his calm exterior.

Teresa stood a few steps ahead, gun in hand, her eyes sharp as she surveyed their surroundings.

They had all hoped—desperately—that this search would yield something more than dead ends and half-truths. But as the minutes ticked by, that hope was slipping.

Brandon had vanished without a trace.

Every lead they had followed led to nothing. Every whisper, every clue, every trail had been a carefully crafted illus

  • Cinderella And Her Beautiful Octuplets   Ghost of the past

    Teresa sat in the back of a dimly lit bar, the scent of cigarette smoke and aged whiskey thick in the air. The place was quiet, the kind of underground haunt where no one asked questions, where secrets were currency, and where a person could disappear if they weren’t careful.She checked the time on her phone. Her contact was late.Across the table, Hannah fidgeted with the glass of water in front of her, her expression distant, lost in thoughts she wasn’t ready to speak out loud. Lucas sat beside her, his gaze locked on the entrance, his tension palpable.When the door finally creaked open, Teresa’s eyes narrowed as a tall, wiry man entered, his leather jacket scuffed and his face shadowed with stubble. He scanned the room before spotting her and sauntering over.“You’re late, Marco,” Teresa said, her voice edged with impatience.The man—Marco Ruiz—grinned as he slid into the seat across from her. “Good to see you too, Provenzano. You know how it is—hard to stay alive in this busines

    Lucas had left the room to make some calls, leaving Hannah and Teresa alone in the dimly lit space. The air between them was thick with unspoken thoughts, with grief and frustration too heavy to voice.Teresa watched Hannah closely. She looked hollow—her eyes distant, her shoulders sagging under a weight no one could carry for her.“You okay?” Teresa finally asked.Hannah blinked and turned her head, forcing a weak smile. “Yeah.”Teresa hummed in response, clearly unconvinced. She reached into her pocket, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it with a practiced ease. Smoke curled in the air between them.“Do you smoke?” she asked, offering one toward Hannah.Hannah shook her head. “No. I never have.”Teresa chuckled, taking a long drag before exhaling. “Figures.”Silence stretched between them, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. It was the silence of two women who understood each other—different, yet bound by shared pain.“My mother-in-law used to hate me too,” Teresa murmured suddenly, he

    Chapter 1 A Black car screeched to a halt in front of a big company. Hannah alighted the car and walked inside the company, to her office. She dropped her bag on the table and was about to sit down when she heard her phone ring. She brought out the phone from her handbag. She checked the caller's ID and saw it was her boss. She quickly answered the phone call. “Hell………”“Report to my office immediately, Hannah,” her boss's voice echoed over the phone, cutting her off. He sounded so furious.She wondered what must have happened that made him that furious. She quickly rushed out of her office and entered the elevator that was going to the seventh floor.She planted a soft knock on the door and when there was no response she opened the door and walked in. There she met her boss looking as furious as ever. “I called you two minutes ago and you are just coming now” her boss yelled and she flinched. She had come immediately after he called her, it hadn't been up to a minute. “But sir.

    Chapter 2Hannah opened her bleary eyes and discovered she was in a dark room with her hands tied above her head. She noticed she was lying on a soft material, a bed to be precise. The room was so dark that she could barely see a thing. The only thing she could feel was pain all over her, her body hurting like hell. She knew she passed out but she didn't know how long she's passed out. Memories of everything that happened came rushing into her head like a flash. How two hefty men had dragged her inside the car and placed a handkerchief in her nose and she had lost consciousness. That was the last thing she remembered and now she finds herself in a dark room on a bed with her hands tied. “Oh my goodness! I have been kidnapped” she thought as fear rang through her veins. She wondered who must have kidnapped her, the thought of her kidnappers killing her made a shiver run down her spine. She began to wonder who must have kidnapped her. She had no enemy, she's never offended anyone.

    Chapter 3Hannah opened her bleary eyes. Staring at the surroundings, wondering where she was. “Hannah you are awake” she heard a voice. That voice. It sounded so familiar. It was the voice that had asked her to stay with her. “Where am I?” Hannah asked as her vision was already becoming clearer.“You are in the hospital. How are you feeling?” The woman asked and then Hannah turned to her. It was a beautiful woman with long, lush hair.She had blue eyes and her skin was so white. She looked like a rich woman, Of Course, she was. Hannah could see she was a rich woman even from the way she speaks and act. As she stared at the woman a sense of familiarity washed through her.“How are you feeling?” The woman asked with a smile on her face and Hannah stared at her weirdly wondering who she was and why she was being so caring. She knew she had brought her to the hospital, but why?. She didn’t even know this woman but she had saved her life and brought her to the hospital. It was so weird

Welcome to the world of wealth and riches” the lawyer said and Hannah smiled at her. “Excuse me,” the lawyer said and with that, they walked out.Arianna smiled at Hannah. “So, you are officially my daughter. We need to celebrate “ Arianna said and Hannah forced herself to smile“Can you please get me out of this hospital first?” Hannah said and Arianna smiled. “Of course, I will. Your passport, I mean our passport is ready. We leave for New York City tonight” Arianna said and Hannah stared at her weirdly. “Why leave? I thought you would stay here in Atlanta?” Hannah asked“Yes, I do but I have my house in New York and I’m taking you there to rest. You are too weak to strive at the Mikelsons. I’m sure they know your weakness and they will use it against you, making you lose the battle against them. If you want to strike your enemies and win, you must go unexpectedly and ready, like a thief in

Hannah was a very calm person, she wasn’t the kind of person who talks much, and all she knew how to do was smile.They both walked inside the house and Arianna could see lots of maids running to and fro like they were trying to put things in order. “Welcome ma'am, welcome ma'am “ the maids kept bowing their heads as they saw Arianna, she just smiled and waved at them and they smiled at her in return. Hannah stared at Arianna, she was probably the nicest woman she's met in these few days. “Ma’am Arianna” An advanced woman called as she walked towards Arianna and hugged her. “Oh!! Mama Luciana. How are you” Arianna asked in the most caring tone ever.“I am more than okay. I miss you a lot and I'm glad you are finally home. Who is she?” mama Luciana asked and Aria

My son just wouldn't want to leave her alone. Even though he knows she's cursed and she eats her kids, that's why all the children she gave birth to died. Witch like her. Who knew she was going to end up being barren” Rosa said in a disgusting tone making Rhoda smile. Rosa knew she was the one behind what Hannah had gone through. Only she and the nurse she paid knew about what she has done.“Hannah is cursed. She killed her mother when she was a child. That’s why she had no relative or family members” Rhoda said and Rosa opened her eyes wide.“Oh my goodness!! I knew it!! She killed her mother and she lied she had cancer and died. I wonder where Jeff picked her from. I’m glad she’s gone for good, now you can be my daughter in law. And I’m glad you gonna give me an heir, finally “ Rosa muttered and Rhoda gig

    The night was thick with silence, the kind that felt like a living, breathing thing, pressing in on them as they stood at the edge of the abandoned docks. The stench of salt and rust filled the air, mixing with something darker—the unmistakable scent of blood.Teresa’s fingers curled around the handle of her gun as she scanned the area, her pulse drumming hard against her ribs. Her father was dead. That chapter of her life was over. But this? This wasn’t over. Not until she had him.Not until she had Brandon and brought him back to his family.“We should’ve heard something by now,” Hannah whispered, her voice tight with restrained panic.Teresa didn’t answer. She was thinking the same thing.The lead had been solid. Brandon had been held here—multiple sources confirmed it. The docks had been his prison. But as they stood here, surrounded by crates and shadows, the truth settled like ice in her veins.Brandon wasn’t here.And the blood on the floor was still fresh.Teresa crouched do

    Teresa barely had a second to react before the door to her office swung open. The moment her eyes landed on the man standing there, a cold shiver ran down her spine. Her father.Bernardo Provenzano. The man she had once idolized. The man she had spent her entire life trying to please.And now, the man she had just betrayed.He stepped inside with a slow, deliberate pace, shutting the door behind him. The soft click of the lock sent her heart into overdrive.“Oh, my little princess,” he murmured, his voice filled with mock tenderness. But his eyes… they were filled with nothing but hatred.Teresa’s hands gripped the arms of her chair, knuckles turning white. Fear slithered through her veins, but she refused to let it show.“How disappointing,” he continued, shaking his head as if she were a child who had misbehaved. “I thought you were different. Better. Not like your mother.”Teresa inhaled sharply.His mother.For years, she had believed the lie—that her mother had been killed by a r

    The beeping of machines was the only sound filling the hospital room. Jessica lay on the hospital bed, her skin deathly pale, her chest barely rising under the weight of the oxygen mask secured over her face. Wires and tubes connected her to the machines, keeping her alive, but just barely.Hannah stood frozen in the doorway, unable to move. The doctor’s words still rang in her ears, cutting deeper than any wound ever could.“She has a five percent chance of survival,” the doctor had said, his voice clinical, detached. “She lost too much blood, and the delay in medical care worsened her condition. We’re doing everything we can, but you need to prepare for the worst.”The worst.Hannah clenched her fists, nails digging into her palms. This was her fault. If she hadn’t suggested they escape… if she had just listened, just stayed put, Jessica wouldn’t be lying here, fighting for her life.And Brandon…A fresh wave of pain hit her. He was gone. Taken. She had watched him surrender himsel

    The river had given them a chance, but it hadn’t given them freedom.Brandon collapsed onto the muddy shore, gasping for air. His limbs ached from the relentless current, but he didn’t have time to recover. Jessica.Lucas dragged her up the embankment, his breathing ragged. She was completely unconscious now, her body limp in his arms. The river had sapped whatever strength she had left. Her wound was bad—too bad. If they didn’t get her help soon…No. He couldn’t think like that.“Teresa,” Brandon barked, snapping back into survival mode. “Where’s the nearest hospital?”Teresa, still soaking wet, flipped open her laptop with shaking hands. Water dripped onto the screen, but she didn’t stop. “There’s one about six miles south,” she said breathlessly. “But there’s a problem.”Brandon exhaled sharply. “There’s always a problem.”Teresa gave him a grim look. “Bernardo’s men will have every major road blocked. They’re already watching the airspace. If we head to that hospital, they’ll find

    The cave was damp and cold, the scent of moss and river water clinging to the air. Shadows stretched across the rocky walls, their flickering shapes cast by the distant glow of searchlights cutting through the trees outside. They had barely made it out alive.But they weren’t safe.Brandon pressed his back against the jagged rock, listening. Boots crunched against gravel just beyond the entrance. The soldiers were closing in. They had minutes—maybe seconds—before the cave was compromised.Lucas sat against the far wall, pressing his hand against Jessica’s wound. She was slipping fast, her skin pale, her lips trembling.“I can stop the bleeding, but not for long,” Teresa said, her voice tight with urgency. “But she needs real help, Brandon.”Brandon looked at Jessica’s barely conscious form, then at Hannah, who was up beside Teresa, shaking from the cold,she looked so pale. He had promised to protect her. He had promised to protect all of them.He clenched his fists. Promises meant not

    The night was supposed to be theirs. They had escaped, survived impossible odds, and left Bernardo bleeding on the cold ground. But fate had other plans.They wondered how come he was alive. They had witnessed him go on his knees, blood all over him.The deafening roar of helicopter blades grew louder, sending shockwaves through Brandon’s chest. The floodlights cut through the dense trees, slicing through the shadows that had once been their cover. The tracker beneath the seat blinked like a taunting heartbeat—steady, unrelenting, and damning.Teresa’s fingers flew over her laptop, her breath ragged. “I need time,” she muttered, panic lacing her voice.“We don’t have time,” Lucas growled, yanking a rifle from the back. “They’re here.”Jessica shifted, barely conscious, her breathing uneven. Hannah took a deep breathe while having a second thoughts.Maybe she should just surrender herself to Bernardo and all this would be over. But Brandon here would rather die than watch her go back
