Lilah's POV:

The guard returns a few minutes later, flinging the door open.

"The boss doesn't want to talk to you," he declares flatly, then turns and walks away.

Lucy and I exchange shocked looks, but a surge of rage rises inside me.

"You see? They're going to leave us here until we die. Oh my god, I can't breathe in this room," Lucy whimpers, her voice trembling.

"I told you, we're leaving. And I mean it. If we can't get out of this cell, we'll never escape," I snap, frustration seeping into my voice.

I stride toward the door and knock sharply. The guard storms back, face twisted in anger as he swings it open again.

"What the hell is your problem, bitch?" he growls.

What is it with everyone calling me that?

I glance past him and notice the other guard isn’t there. This is my chance.

Without hesitation, I drive my fist into his face. Pain shoots through my hand; his skin is like iron. But the blow makes him stumble back, furious.

He lurches forward, ready to hit m

But as I approach the kitchen, the quiet is shattered by the sound of yelling.I pause at the doorway, taking in the scene. A tall blonde stands in the center of the room, glaring down at Lucy, who’s holding an empty coffee cup, her face irritated. The blonde woman is stunning, in a sharp, cruel way—perfectly sculpted cheekbones, model-like figure, long legs that belong on a runway. But the look she’s giving Lucy is nothing but nasty and bitchy."How dare you, bitch!" she shrieks, voice like nails on a chalkboard. "How could you ruin my dress? Do you know how much this costs?" She flicks at the coffee stain, a dark blotch spreading across her expensive nude designer dress, her fury radiating like heat.“Oh, how on earth would an ugly pathetic maid like you know the price?”“Oh fuck off.

The cold breeze drifts softly through the cracks of the window, and sunlight gently filters through the curtains. Outside, birds are chirping, their songs sweet and serene. But instead of enjoying the peaceful start to the day, we’re greeted by Mia’s shrill, ear-piercing screeches.“What’s your problem? Get out of this room,” Lucy groans, her voice thick with annoyance as she rubs her temples.“Get out of whose room? This is my fucking bedroom! You bitches get out!"

I can barely force myself to breathe, let alone speak.“Cat got your tongue, vixen?” he taunts, his voice a dark purr that sends chills down my spine. He leans in, so close I can smell the faint scent of his cologne—woodsy, with a sharp edge of danger. “You really thought you could escape me?”For a second, I almost laugh. The sheer insanity of it all. We had planned every detail down to the last second, hacked into his impossible security, slipped past his guards—and here he is, standing right in front of me like it was all some game.“Oh, you know,” I stammer, my brain desperately searching for something—anything—to say. “Just wanted to stretch our legs a bit.

I could feel Lucy trembling beside me, her fear palpable, but I kept my focus straight ahead. I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me break. Ivan’s grip on my arm was firm but not brutal. It was more like he was guiding me, a twisted sort of gentleman. His silence spoke volumes, though. He didn’t need to say anything. The power dynamic was clear—he was in control, and we were at his mercy. “Let’s not make this harder than it needs to be,” Ivan finally said, his voice as smooth as silk, though laced with a cold, underlying threat. “You’ve already made one mistake tonight.

The quiet hum of village life outside the window felt worlds away from the chaos she’d fled. She shook off the lingering remnants of her restless night, determined to make today productive. She’d been staying here with Robert and Lucy for weeks now, grateful for their support but restless with the feeling of being a burden. Her search for work had been disheartening—every shop and stall in the village market either didn’t need help or couldn’t afford to hire anyone new. But today, she was determined to try again. Pulling on her worn coat and tying her hair back, Lilah grabbed her small purse and slipped out the door, leaving Lucy and Robert to their morning routines. The market was bustling by the time she arrived, the aroma of fresh produce, baked goods, and spices mingling in the crisp morning air. She wandered past the stalls, scanning for any signs of

Drop it,” I snap, sharper than I intended.He raises an eyebrow but doesn’t push further. Instead, he grabs a cup of coffee and retreats to his room, leaving me alone in the kitchen.Lucy stumbles in later, her shift at the bar clearly taking its toll.

I glance over my shoulder again, my heart skipping a beat, but the sidewalk behind me is empty. Just a woman walking her dog, a cyclist pedaling lazily, and the occasional honk of a car. Normal. Too normal.I pull my coat tighter, the brisk December air biting through the fabric. My doctor said I was fine, perfectly healthy, yet I feel anything but. Maybe it's the lack of sleep or the constant ache in my chest that has nothing to do with my health and everything to do with him—Ivan.He doesn’t want me. Worse, he probably wants me dead. I remind myself of this every time my thoughts drift to the way his voice dipped when he was angry or the rare moments when his icy exterior thawed. Foolish. There’s no going back, no undoing what’s already been done.I shake the thoughts away and focus on the walk home. Robert and Lu

    Lilah’s POV :The village was small, nestled in the lush countryside of southern France. Rolling hills stretched out as far as the eye could see, dotted with vineyards, olive trees, and cottages that seemed untouched by time. It was picturesque, serene—everything we needed after the chaos we’d escaped. But no matter how beautiful it was, I couldn’t shake the heaviness that lingered in my chest.Robert had found the village through a contact of his, someone who knew how to keep secrets. The house he rented for us was small but cozy, with pale stone walls and a thatched roof. It sat at the edge of the village, overlooking a field of sunflowers that swayed gently in the breeze. For most people, this would be paradise. For me, it was a hiding place.Lucy and Robert were already settling in, unloading the few belongings we had from the car. I stood in the doorway, staring out at the quiet street, my hand resting on my stomach. The thought of the life growing inside me still felt surreal, l

Away from Ivan and the terror that had crept into our lives.I glanced over at Lucy, her face pale in the moonlight, eyes wide with fear. “You really think this is the best idea?” I whispered, the words heavy on my lips.Lucy nodded, her voice low and determined. “It’s the only way, Lilah. We can’t stay here. Not with him still looking for us.”I bit my lip, glancing back at the small cabin we’d called home for the past few weeks. It felt like we were abandoning it, running away like criminals in the dead of night. But there was no other choice. Not if we wanted to survive.Robert had arranged everything, a taxi waiting for us at the edge of the woods. We hurried toward it, th

But even here, the weight of what we’d escaped from lingered heavy in the air.I avoided Ivan’s calls and texts, turning away from the messages that popped up on my phone, pretending I didn’t see them. It was a survival tactic, a way to protect myself from the pain of knowing he was out there, hunting us. Every time his name flashed on the screen, my heart clenched, a sharp, agonizing twist of emotion that I couldn’t bear to confront.The truth was, I was scared of him. Not just scared—terrified. Terrified of what he’d do if he found us, of what he’d become if he ever caught up with us. And more than that, I was terrified of the darkness that seemed to swirl around him, a darkness that had already claimed my brother and threatened to take everything from me.Lucy tried to comfort me,

I can’t hide from him forever.”Ivan’s expression darkened, a muscle twitching in his jaw. “You shouldn’t have left,” he said, his voice low and rough. “You should have trusted me.”“Trusted you?” I spat, the bitterness in my voice surprising even me. “You were going to kill me, Ivan. Just like you killed my brother.”His face paled, the flash of pain in his eyes only fueling my anger. “Robert was a liability,”
