Thomas made his way up the grand staircase, Emily hurried ahead to open the door to the study for him. Thomas stepped inside, taking in the book-lined walls and the large mahogany desk at the center of the room. The detective, a hard-looking man with a weathered face, stood by the window, his back to Thomas.

"Detective," Thomas said, his voice smooth and confident. "Do you have something you'd like to share with me?"

The detective turned slowly, his gaze resting on Thomas. "I'm here to ask some questions about Miss Ashley," he said curtly. "It seems she's been missing for some time now, and her friends are growing concerned."

Thomas smiled, his expression unreadable. "Of course," he replied smoothly. "Please, have a seat." He motioned to a comfortable-looking leather sofa against the wall. The detective hesitated for a moment before sitting down, carefully setting a battered leather briefcase on the floor beside him.

Thomas, who had remained silent for while, cleared his throat. "Dete

    ASHLEY had no idea where she was.The only light in the room came from a single dim bulb dangling from the ceiling, casting long, twisted shadows across the floor and walls. Ashley lay curled up on a hard, dusty floor, her once-luxurious clothes now torn and dirty. She'd been here for what felt like an eternity, trapped in this tiny cell with no way out. The walls were made of cold, unforgiving stone, and the only window was barred shut, high up near the ceiling. Even if she could reach it, there was no way she could climb through the steel bars. Time dragged on, each hour feeling like an eternity. The air in the room grew stale and musty, carrying with it the faint smell of mold and disuse. Ashley's stomach growled, reminding her that she hadn't eaten in hours. She tried to think of what she could do to pass the time, but all she could focus on was the growing ache in her bladder.She had gone several hours without using the makeshift toilet, and the pressure in her lower abdomen wa

    THE air grew colder and more damp as they went deeper into the building. She tried to look around to see if she could recognize anything but she saw nothing. It was an old abandoned building. Finally, they reached a small, windowless room at the end of the hall. The door was secured by a combination lock, which the plump man spun expertly.As soon as the door was unlocked, the lanky man pushed Ashley inside. She stumbled forward, landing on her knees on a cold, hard floor. The room was bare except for a single metal table in the center, covered in a black cloth. The lean man turned on a dim light, revealing a row of levers and knobs along one wall."Sit down," the scarred face man ordered, gesturing to the chair at the end of the table. Ashley hesitantly obeyed, her heart pounding in her chest. Matt and Gallous took up positions on either side of her, their faces impassive. Walter walked around to the other side of the table and began flipping switches and twisting knobs. With a click

    THE pain, the torture, the torment. Haven't they done enough?Ashley awoke with a start, her body throbbing from the pain and bruises she'd sustained. The memory of the past few hours came flooding back to her: the three men who had kidnapped her, the relentless beating they had given her, and the horrific things they had done to her. She winced as the feel of their rough hands and the sound of their threats filled her senses once more.Her breath hitched as she tried to move, her limbs feeling heavy and numb. She was lying on her side, her arms bound tightly behind her back and her ankles secured in a similar fashion. Her wrists and ankles hurt where the ropes had dug into her skin, leaving raw welts.Ashley strained against her bonds, trying to free herself. The rope bit into her skin, but it was no use; she was trapped. She let out a shaky breath and began to cry, the tears streaming down her face as she huddled on the ground.The air was thick with the stench of mildew and sweat,

    "WHERE is she?" Nichole and Genevieve screamed as they hurriedly ran into the hospital building, pushing people and stumbling on a few things in the process to reach the nurse who stood behind the counter."Where is she?" Nichole repeated the question again. Panic shot through her, and she was fighting desperately to keep calm."Where is Ashley Williams, which room is she in?"At the mention of the name, the nurse immediately knew who they were looking for, but before she could answer them, they had thrown another question."Is she okay?" Nichole hated the suspense, why won't the nurse something already."Talk to us. Say something." Genevieve's voice was shaky and her eyes were watery. She sniffed in to stop the tears from dropping."Calm down." The nurse voice sounded like a balm, and it smooth their worry. "Ashley Williams is fine. How are you related to her?""We are Ashley's best friends. Can we see her now?"The nurse opened a file to check the BioData of the people Ashley had gi

    "YOU look beautiful." "Aiden." His mere presence at the door to her hospital ward lit up her world. Aiden was the only person who told her she looked beautiful even when her body was almost covered with bandage. "I feel terrible." "You shouldn't." He stepped in and dropped a bouquet of flowers by the cupboard, and walked to the bed where she laid. He pressed a kiss on her lips. Their lips met in a tender, passionate kiss that lingered for what felt like an eternity. Aiden's hands gently massaged her shoulders, trying to ease the tension he could feel there. She responded by wrapping her arms around his neck, her fingers tangling in his hair. Their kiss deepened, becoming more urgent, more desperate. "Still as sweet as ever." He placed his nose at her neck and sniffed in her scent. "You smell heavenly." "Just came out of the shower. I changed the product I use for my scented bath. You like my new scent." He muzzled at her neck taking in as much goodness as he could "I love it.

    "THAT'S it," Aiden whispered, his voice rough with need. "Touch yourself while I watch you." Ashley's breath caught in her throat at his words. She hesitated for a moment, her hand hovering above her wetness, before finally lowering it to her core. Her fingers trembled as they traced the swollen folds of her skin, already moist from their earlier touches. She closed her eyes, focusing on the sensations building inside her, the heat and wetness that seemed to spread through every inch of her body. As she touched herself, Aiden leaned in closer, his lips brushing against her earlobe. "That's it, baby," he whispered, his voice rough with desire. "Show me how much you want it." His hand moved from her hair, gliding down her back, and then lower still, coming to rest on the smooth skin of her stomach. He traced a circle around her navel, making her shiver with pleasure. Ashley moaned, her hips beginning to move in time with her fingers as she explored herself. The sensation of Aiden's

    Ashley woke up, her body aching in the most wonderful way. She glanced over at Aiden, sprawled out on his stomach next to her. She couldn't help but smile as she remembered the night before: the way he'd made her feel, the things he'd done to her, the way they'd been together. She sat up and glanced over at Aiden, who was still fast asleep. His chest rose and fell slowly with each breath, his dark hair mussed and his arm flung carelessly above his head. She couldn't help but admire his physique, so toned and powerful. Aiden was the sort of man who took what he wanted, and last night, he had definitely taken her. She leaned over, pressing a soft kiss to his bare shoulder before trailing it down his spine, causing him to groan softly."Mmm, morning," he murmured, rolling over to face her. His eyes fluttered open, meeting hers, and he grinned. "Hey there."Ashley couldn't help but smile back as she ran her fingers through his hair. "Hey yourself. Sleep well?""Better than that," he repl

    AIDEN was standing in front of her doorway, deep in conversation with a group of well-dressed individuals. He looked resplendent in a tailored tuxedo, his signature stubborn lock of hair falling carelessly across his forehead. Upon seeing her, he excused himself from the group and hurried into her room. "Ah, there you are. I was beginning to worry that you had gotten lost in the mall," he teased. That rich accent, she recognized it anywhere. A smile curved on her lips. Aiden hesitated for a moment, then entered her room, closing the door behind him. He walked over to the vanity and placed a small, ornate box on the marble counter. Ashley's curiosity was piqued. "What's that?" she asked, pointing at the box. Aiden glanced at her before turning back to the box, his expression a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. He opened it, revealing a stunning pair of black heels, and a dazzling diamond necklace. Ashley's jaw dropped. "Oh my God, Aiden! This is..." Her voice trailed off as

    Ashley's heels clicked against the gleaming marble floor of the private airport terminal, echoing through the vast, empty space. She looked around anxiously, her eyes scanning the sleek lines of the chrome and glass walls, hoping to catch a glimpse of Aiden's unmistakable silhouette. The sound of engines roared in the distance, muffled by the thick panes of soundproof glass that separated the opulent lobby from the tarmac. Her heart raced, a frantic drumbeat in her chest that grew louder with every passing second. The clock above the bustling departures board ticked away, reminding her of the dwindling time she had left. Aiden's flight was due to take off any minute, and she had to find him. She had to apologize. Her thoughts were a tumultuous storm of regret and fear, a toxic brew that threatened to spill over at any moment. The weight of her actions bore down on her, a heavy burden that she hadn't realized she'd been carrying until it was almost too late. Her eyes darted around t

    "YES, I did it." He attempted to touch her, but Ashley stood up and screamed. "Don't touch me!" The force of her anger scared him, and he retreated back immediately. "I can explain.""Explain what?" Her chest rose and fell in quick successions."My plan was never to hurt you.""But you did." Ashley chuckled. "You sent men to kidnap, torture and rob me, as if that wasn't enough, you still accused Aiden.""There weren't supposed to hurt you."Ashley shook her head. "Do you want to know what is so disgusting? It's the fact that you imputed your guilt on Metaphor."Thomas took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment before continuing. "Metaphor is actually guilty."Ashley shook her head again. "Why are you so confused?""The men who kidnapped you, they are members of the Metaphor." He paused. "I'm sorry. I was too jealous when you and Aiden were together. I--I had to find traitors amongst Metaphor and pay them enough to just make you disappear for a while." He desperately tried to

    "ASHLEY, you're not going to believe this," Nichole announced breathlessly, her eyes wide with annoyance. She and Genevieve bursted into the room, their footsteps echoing off the walls.Ashley looked up from her wineglass, curiosity piqued. "What's going on?" she asked, setting the wine bottle in place. The light from the pendant lamp above her cast a warm glow on her face, illuminating the puzzled expression.Nichole's features hardened as she handed over a thick envelope to Ashley. "It's the report from the detective," she said, her voice dropping to a serious tone. "They've found out who was behind your kidnapping and robbery."Ashley's hand trembled as she took the envelope. The weight of it felt like a brick in her grasp. She stared at the unassuming paper, unable to process the words. "What does it say?" she managed to ask, her voice a mere whisper.Genevieve sat down beside her on the couch, her own expression somber. "Thomas," she said simply. "It was Thomas. He's the one behi

    THE next few days in Ashley's house was a hide and seek game between Ashley and her mom. Ashley did everything in her power to ignore Mira, and Mira sensing it, intentionally ignored her, but she still prepared breakfast, ste the alarm clock so loud so that it would wake Ashley on time to be early to work. Mira never brought up the topic of a fresh start again, but her presence and conducts were literally begging for a fresh start. Her presence was like a taunting nightmare, which caused Ashley to leave the house very early in the morning, her herself as worked up as possible and return home very late. They never had to cross paths for a conversation lasting more than 15 seconds. Mira's presence and constant effort was slowly weakening hee resolve. She needed to know her mother's side of the story. She needed someone to hug...she needed a friend but more importantly, she needed her mom. Ashley returned on Wednesday with a changed mind, but she was welcomed by the greatest surprise

    ASHLEY stirred, her eyes slowly opening to the soft glow of the morning sun filtering through her blinds. She took a deep breath, inhaling the tantalizing aroma of pancakes and coffee wafting from the kitchen. The smells filled her room with a comfort she hadn't felt in a long time. Her stomach grumbled, reminding her that she had barely eaten the night before, consumed by the shock of her mother's unexpected return.Her mother's voice, filled with an awkward nervousness, called out from the hallway. "Ashley, sweetie, I made breakfast. It's ready for you."Ashley sat up in bed, her body stiff from a restless night. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and glanced at the digital clock on her nightstand. It was almost 9 AM, later than she usually woke up. Her mind raced with the events of the previous evening: the doorbell ringing, the awkward meeting at the parking lot. Her mother had been gone for 22 years, and now she was here, trying to slip back into her life as if nothing had happen

    HER final destination for the day was Blue Skype modelling. The moment she pushed the glass door and entered inside the building...the models, the talent managers, and other employees all stared at her, and she knew something bad was about to happen to her. She asked herself, what's the worst that could happen?Mr Shaw stood in the gathering of some important shareholders and signalled her to come over. She nervously reached them in just a few steps. Mr Shaw gave her an envelope. Was she being dismissed? Her first reaction was to turn around and leave, but mr Shaw stopped her, and all the eyes in the building were literally begging her to open the envelope. She opened it and retrieved a white letter, before her brain could process what she saw. The crowd cheered, clapped and choruserd congratulations.She will be going to Paris to feature in the international fashion magazine, that was the biggest job ever yet. The entire building was full of cheers and clapping, how did they know?"A

    THE last person Thomas expected to see after a stressful night at the Met met gala was his wife, Maris laying on his bed. He absently entered his room, threw his tuxedo to one corner while he undid his tie. Thomas stopped dead in his track when he saw Maris, his eyes widened in shock. "Maris?" He managed to ask."Hi Thomas. Where have you been?" She laid on her right side and stared at him."What are you doing here?" He hesitated. "Chole, she's still out there, what if she find you?"She slowly stood from the bed. "Oh relax husband. My daddy has taken care of chole, she will never have to bother us ever again." She traced a light touch down his chest.Thomas was still not convinced. "It's not safe here.""Hmmm...is there something you're hiding from me?""What?" Thomas laughed nervously and pulled her closer to him. "There's nothing I'm hiding from you.""Good." She placed her hands on his chin and tilted his head to the side, she kissed him. They stumbled backwards and fell on the be

    JUST as she thought she had found a safe haven, she collided with a man dressed in an eccentric outfit that matched the avant-garde theme of the gala. She stumbled back, her hand shooting out to steady herself. "I'm so sorry," she said, her eyes flicking up to meet his. To her horror, it was Thomas, his handsome face etched with confusion. "Ashley?" he questioned, his voice a mix of surprise and concern. Her mind raced as she tried to formulate an excuse. "Oh, Thomas, what a... pleasant surprise," she said, trying to sound as casual as possible. "I was just looking for the restroom, and I seem to have gotten a bit turned around." He tilted his head, his eyes searching hers. "You okay?" Ashley's pulse hammered in her ears. "Yes, yes, just a bit overwhelmed by the grandeur, you know?" Thomas nodded, his gaze lingering on her for a moment too long. "I can see why," he said, his voice low and comforting. "Would you like me to walk you there?" Her heart skipped a beat. "No, no, th

    "WOULD you like a drink?" Thomas asked, mistaking her nervousness for thirst. "I'll grab us some champagne.""No, no, I'm fine," she replied a little too quickly. "Just...just give me a moment to admire this piece." She gestured to a mannequin dressed in an outlandish outfit that looked like it belonged on an alien runway.Thomas nodded, his eyes lingering on her before he stepped away. Ashley took a deep breath, willing her heart to calm down. She had to find a way to get to Aiden without Thomas finding out. The room was crowded, but she spotted a narrow corridor leading to the next exhibit. It was her chance."Thomas, I think I'll just step out for a moment to...uh, to check my makeup," she said, her voice shaky.Thomas nodded, engrossed in a nearby conversation. "Take your time, darling. I'll be right here."With a silent prayer to the fashion gods, Ashley slipped away. She stepped into the corridor, her heels clicking against the floor as she moved swiftly. The walls were lined w
