Zoey p.o.v

I was barely holding myself from lashing out, the audacity she has.

“Marco knew you wouldn't leave, guess he was right.” She chuckled softly as if what she said or did was funny.

Ignored her, waiting for her to be done with her message and leave. She won't come here and act like everything is fine as it is.

“He wants me to take you home, it's not safe here.” It's not safe? As if she wasn't the one that brought us here.

“I'm not leaving, please leave.” I don't care whether I am rude or not. In fact, I wanted to be rude, it was intentional.

She didn't reply, I could feel her stare on me, but I refuse to acknowledge that. I guess Marco hasn't learned about her, a well hidden spy.

“I'm not an enemy, neither did I betray Marco.” She mumbled quietly, I barely heard what she said.

“What?” I probe.

“Do you really think a whole plot will be carried out in this country without Marco getting sniffing it?” She asked.

Of course not, I know that. Marco is well-informed, his spies and su

    Marco p.o.vThey were laughing, especially Boris. He was laughing hard, he sobered up after a while of struggling to pull himself together.“It's either you're a joker or a lunatic, I don't know which one to call you.” He chuckled. “I am called the combat master for reason, boy, I don't fight with little boys. Go and call your daddy, kid.” He said, thinking he was making fun of me.He and his men laugh again, smug, and the situation without proper analysis if I had any means of surviving. Again underestimating their opponent.“My father is too busy for you, so he sent me.”He finally notices my lack of expression, I stood there letting fool himself, And realized I wasn't playing.“What made you think you can place a bet on my life and still win?” Boris grit, getting angry as I wanted him to.“Haven't you heard of how I end those that came to challenge me? I leave unrecognized and dismembered.” He tries to scare me off.What he isn't aware of is that I don't get intimidated, rather I

    Zoey p.o.vI regained consciousness, my gaze swept the place. It didn't take me a second to realize that I'm in a hospital, the quiet movement from my beside snapped my attention there.Relieved when I noticed that it was just a nurse doing her work.There was no need to ask why I was here, I passed out when the fight started outside the warehouse. Right then, it became obvious to me that there was a much bigger fight going on inside.I knew the fight going on inside was more bloody and brutal.The fight wasn't just because of the kidnapping stuff anymore, it was a fight of dominance and only the strongest will come out alive.“Hi.” I called for the nurse's attention.“Hi miss, you're awake.” She smiled at me tenderly, her friendly aura makes me return her smile with a nod.“How are you feeling? Weak? Dizzy?” She asked.“A bit weak but not dizzy.” I told her, I can barely hold myself.“That's good to hear, the doctor said you will feel weak, but you can also be discharged as everythi

    Zoey's p.o.v Two years later. Today is the day I get married to the love of my life, the man of my dreams, my childhood sweetheart. The same man who held my heart even after breaking it, he still held it for years. Maya, Sophie, and Lucy were my bridesmaids, they have been part of my life since everything settled down two years ago.

    Zoey p.o.vI didn't wake up from the birds chirping in the distance, not from the ray of sun peeking at me for the window blinds. I also didn't wake up from the sound of the sea clashing against the shore and receding, I did wake up in pleasure.“Mm mm” I muffled.I was getting pleasured from sleep, it was intense. I squirm around trying to contain the unmeasurable pleasure, Marco is in between my thighs doing what he does best to me.“God.” I jolt, beating my lower lip in an attempt to hold it in. An electric spark flashes through me, my Virginal clutching tightly, as of the rest of my organs.I was close, but Marco was yet to finish his work. He shoves not just his tongue inside me, he also plugged two fingers into me. His movements were fast and rough, showing no mercy on me.My breaths were labored, my chest rise and fall faster than I can process. He gave me one final screw by flicking on my clit with his free finger, the tingling sensation spread to my brain. My eyes rolled back

My muscles and joints are stiffed, more than earlier. And all I needed right now is a nice, relaxing massage.“Please, this way, ma'am.” She said.I followed her as she led me outside the workshop, and out of the building to a wooden house not so far from the sea behind the resort. The wooden house was adorned with intricate carvings and colorful tapestries, giving it a rustic yet inviting charm. The sound of gentle waves crashing against the shore provided a soothing backdrop to the serene atmosphere that enveloped the house.Inside, the interior was adorned with plush cushions and soft lighting, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.

Today is your sister’s day.”“Ouch, Mom! That hurt,” he complained.“And you deserve it,” Melanie’s voice cut into the conversation.“There’s my favorite nurse!” Sam yelled.“Dad, tone it down,” she said.“Nonsense. I would shout it at the top of my lungs if I had to so you can know how proud I am of you,” he replied.She smiled at her father and went to hug him then she did the same with her mom and brother who all congratulated her before she stopped in front of me.“I always knew you were something else, little nurse,” I told her. “From the first day I set my eyes on you, I knew you were better than the rest of us.”“Stop it you’re going to make me cry,” she said.I opened my arms and she stepped into me for a hug.My girl was finally a registered nurse and today was her gra

    Melanie’s POVThe ride back to the house was very quiet.Throughout the ride home, I couldn’t help but think that none of this would have happened if I just had a conversation with Adriano.He was the man I fell in love with and even though I left him, he didn’t hesitate before coming for me.I know he was very relieved in the heat of the moment but I couldn’t help but wonder what was going to happen once the adrenaline wore off and he could think a bit more clearly.One thing I knew was that I was going to spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to him.Adriano was more honorable than people knew. I never thought I would be one of those women who would be pleased because her man killed people for her but as it turned out, I was one of those women.He pulled up to the house, which seemed to have more security guards on duty than normal and I knew it was all because of me.A few hours away, we were celebrating Christmas in bliss but I just had to go and ruin everything for every

    Adriano’s POVThe warehouse was a hive of chaos, but I didn’t hear the shouting or the echoing footsteps behind me. All I saw was Melanie. She sat bound to a chair, her face pale, and her lip split, a streak of blood trailing down her chin. Alex Pushkin had a gun pressed to her temple. My blood ran cold. I raised my weapon, keeping my voice steady. “Let her go.” Behind me, my men spread out, weapons aimed and ready. They waited for my signal, but I couldn’t give it—not yet. One wrong move, one miscalculation, and Melanie could die. Pushkin laughed, a guttural sound that grated on my nerves. “You think you scare me? I’ve killed better men than you.” His hand twitched, and I saw the flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. Good. He was scared, even if he didn’t want to admit it. Fear made people sloppy. I needed to buy time, distract him long enough for my men to position themselves. “Erica,” I said, shifting my focus to the woman who stood off to the side, smug and self-satisfie

    Melanie’s POVI woke up to the biting chill of a dark, unfamiliar room, my head pounding as if it had been split in two. My wrists ached from the tight ropes binding them, and my ankles felt just as constricted."You’re awake," Erica drawled, her tone laced with mock concern. She folded her arms and leaned against the rusted frame of the door, watching me like a predator eyeing its prey. "How are you feeling, darling?" I didn't respond. My throat was dry, and my words caught somewhere between anger and fear. God, how could I have been foolish enough to let, Erica manipulate me? I should have known that she was up to no good when Alice told me that Adriano left her at the altar.I guess now I was paying the price for my foolishness."Cat, got your tongue?" she asked, smirking. "Or maybe it’s the shock of realizing you’ve been so incredibly stupid." Her words stung more than I cared to admit. I should have known better. Adriano had always been honest with me in his own way, even w

    Adriano’s POVSomething was off.I didn’t know what but the moment I ended the call with Nik and sat down to work, something in my head kept nagging at me.At first, I thought it was the unusual silence in the house but I figured that was because everyone was probably asleep.I had expected Melanie to come find and chastize me for taking too long but since she didn’t, that meant that the day finally got to her and she succumbed to sleep.My girl was a rockstar tonight, and like I expected, she had my entire family eating from the palm of her hands throughout the dinner. I was sure they saw exactly what I did from the moment I set my eyes on her.By now Nik should be mobilizing the guys to infiltrate the last warehouse. He got intel that Pushkin finally moved all the girls to one place and he just got the location. I trusted Nik could handle this without me, after all, he had just singlehandedly negotiated a new deal with the Irish.Tonight I was going to end it sleeping next to the wo

    Melanie’s POVThe cool night air felt like needles against my skin as I hurried down the street, my duffel bag slung over my shoulder. My legs felt like lead, but I pushed forward, every step putting more distance between me and the house that was once my prison but later became my home. The streets were quiet, the kind of silence that normally would have scared me, but tonight I welcomed it. I avoided the well-lit areas, sticking to the shadows, hoping none of Adriano's guards would see me. My pulse raced with every second, and my breath was uneven.I had no idea where I was going, but I didn’t care. All that mattered was getting away and I was lucky enough to have been able to avoid the guards. I guess the weeks of walking the grounds and studying their routine paid off.Luckily, a cab finally came into view at the corner of the street, its headlights a beacon of hope. I flagged it down, my arm trembling as I waved. The driver, an older man with kind eyes, rolled down the window.

    Melanie’s POVThe first image made my heart stop.It was of a young girl who was barely a teenager. She was sitting on a dingy mattress in what looked like a warehouse, her eyes hollow, her body too thin. Behind her, a shadowy figure loomed a man I didn't recognize but I could bet my life on it that it was her oppressor.My throat tightened as I flipped to the next photograph and the next. Each one was worse than the last. Girls, so young they could barely be called women, trapped in squalor, their faces etched with fear.I couldn't breathe.At first, I thought, no, and hoped that this was evidence Adriano had gathered to shut down a trafficking ring. It had to be. He couldn't possibly be involved in this. He could kill a man but there was no way he was responsible for harming innocent girls.But then I saw it, rather I saw him. And there was no mistaking the fact that he was the one because I recognized Nik beside him.They were both holding onto girls and leading them to God knows w

It was just too beautiful. I’ve never owned anything as expensive as this and I was so scared to ask him how much it cost.We already exchanged gifts in the morning so I wasn’t expecting anything more from him.In a not-so-surprising turn of events, Alice was still awake by the time we got home.“For a moment I thought you both were going to spend the night there,” Alice said when we got into the living room."It's really late, Alice, and I'm sure you've had a long day. You should be sleeping," Adriano said.“I couldn’t sleep when I knew how important today was to Melanie. I was too anxious to know how it went,” she replied.“Well, you can rest easy now because it went very well,” I told her.Her face lit up with a smile and she gave me a quick hug, making me laugh.“I told you, you had nothing to wor

    Melanie’s POVThe soft glow of candlelight and the twinkle of garlands wrapped around the staircase banister made the dining room feel almost magical. The air was thick with the aromas of roasted meats, spiced wine, and fresh-baked rolls, making my stomach grumble in anticipation. Platters of steaming food filled every inch of space. Roast beef surrounded by caramelized vegetables, golden potatoes dusted with rosemary, bowls of vibrant salads, and an assortment of bread rolls that looked fresh out of the oven. When we heard no movement on the steps, Zoey gave a sharp clap of her hands and called out to the men, her voice cutting through the hum of conversation. “Dinner is ready! Boys, come join us!” she said.I heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs as Adriano and the rest of the men made their way over. Adriano entered first, his presence commanding as always, but his warm smile was reserved for me alone. My heart gave a tiny flutter, and I smoothed my dress nervously. As
