It took my few seconds to realize I’m still breathing.Another second to realize that no sound came out after the trigger was pulled.And another second to realize that Mark knew all along, he wasn’t going to kill me, he just wanted to scare me.And it worked, I swear to God it did.I heave a sigh of relief, exhaling a breath I didn’t even know I was holding.“I don’t plan on killing you,” Mark said at least “not yet.” He added “I need you to do something for me. do you think you can do that?”Why would he even ask me that, I’d do anything not to get killed.“Yes” I respond firmly.“Good, I need you to watch Temper, follow him, keep an eye on him, whatever you need to do to get me info on who’s holding Tiffany captive and why, understood?”What? I can’t do that, I can’t show my face to Temper ever again. If Mark didn’t kill me, Temper will, definitely. So how the hell I’m I supposed to do what he’s asking without getting close to Temper.Oh God! What sort of mess have I gotten myself

What do we do now?” Joe asked me after Dave left.I really don’t know. It’s a lot to take in, first Temper didn’t want me to find his daughter, then he sent people after me, to kill me. And now I know he knows where Tiffany is, all along, he knew those keeping her and why.Why couldn’t he just pay the fucking money, he could just make it back.So he’d rather let his daughter, be held captive, surrendered by horny unfamiliar men. The nerves.“I don’t know honestly, I have no freaking idea”I couldn’t stay here, that was one thing I knew, my home was no longer my safe space.“Let’s just get out of here”I went in to pack up a few essential things then we left. I didn’t even know where I was heading. Temper owned the fucking city, he could find me anywhere.“Let’s go to Rex’s” Joe said, “plus we need to fill him in on what we know”I nodded.“You look like shit” Rex said to me once he open the door.“Yea well I am shit” I responded slumping into the couch. “Any luck on Tiffany whereabout

Those bastards.How dare they, they kidnapped my daughter for funds as ransom. If they think I’ll pay they’ve got another thing coming.When I find them, I won’t spare them, every single one of them.No one messed with Charli Temper and go scot free. No one.“Sir,” one of my men said coming into the room.“What!?” I shouted “better have some goodnews”“They weren’t there sir, they were gone by the time we got there.My anger boiled over “What do you mean gone? You incompetent fool! get out of my sight this instant and don’t come back unless it’s with Tiffany”“There’s more sir”I give him a questioning look, “what?”“It’s Mark, we saw him, pass by us, I think he figured out the safe house as well”Mark is still alive. And Dave, that good for nothing fool, when I find him, I’m going to skin him alive.“Fools!fools!! I’m surrendered with fools! get out of my sight! Get out!!!” I bellowed, my rage echoing off the walls.My anger simmered, Why couldn’t anyone do their job right, I should

“What are we doing here Stefano?”He had stomped into the room he kept me,blind folded me, tied my hands to the back and led me out. We’d gotten into a car and driven a very long distance that I started wondering if this was this, if that would be my end.Maybe my father had refused to pay the ransom, and they were taking me somewhere really far, to kill me and dump my body.But now we’re in a cabin. It’s small and surprisingly comfy, it’s surprisingly cleans and smells of fresh grass.“What are we doing here Stefano?” I asked again, I don’t get it, why did he have to change location. “What’s going on?”He shrugged. “I don’t owe you any explanation princess but I’ll tell you,”I notice he doesn’t call me by my name at all, he’s officially turned my name to princess, a stuck-up princess.“Your father’s men found the previous hideout and so did your boyfriend”My boyfriend? What boyfriend?“Mark” he added for clarityI blush instantly unconsciously, “he’s not my boyfriend” I respond.Bu

I pulled my arm free, my eyes avoiding hers. “Don’t try to manipulate me princess,” I warned. “I’m not one of your father’s loyal subject easily swayed by your tears.”She smiled through her tears, I can see it, a devilish plane forming in her head.And I’m right. She moved her head forward and she kissed me.It’s a quick kiss,just a brush on the lip, but when I think that’s it, she moves her head and kissed me again.This time it’s a bit deep,she sucks on my bottom lip, and I realized playtime was over.Her lips are soft and commanding, demanding, I yielded to her and reaped pleasure in return.She moaned softly and suddenly I felt the need to take over. I lift her up, and she let me, my hands caressed her soft butt as I laid her on the couch.I worked my way down her neck with a trail of rough kisses. Her hands drove into my hair as I kissed over the swell of her breast.I wasn’t expecting this, I swear, I wasn’t but I wanted it, so badly, right from the moment I first set my eyes o

I’m seething in rage.Who does the don think he is, to kidnap my daughter for ransom. Bastards!I’m loosing it! It’s already out in the press, that my daughter has been missing for weeks now, journalists are stationed outside my house, all of there fishing a little piece of information.I don’t like it. Those fucking bastards - poking their nose in what does not concern them. Soon they’ll start asking more questions, especially if the know that Tiffany’s kidnappers have made a ransom and I’ve refused to pay.It’s meant to look like a normal kidnap, but if words get out that I still haven’t paid the money, they’ll start to dig deeper.It won’t take them long to realize that the people who have Tiffany are actually business associates - a business deal gone wrong.I can’t let that happen. I won’t let that happen.I need to do something, if they knew I was on to them, that I figured out their hideout, then it’s either I have an informant among my men, or something was just not right.Whe

I’m mad and furious.I was close to finding Tiffany. These close.Fucking Dave.if he hadn’t showed up when he did, Rex would have found the safe house a lot sooner and we would have gotten there on time.Now we’re stuck in another dead in.“Anything?” I ask Rex for the 100th time.He sighed and shook his head.“Maybe you should chill,” Joe said, “I’m sure your pacing is making it difficult for him to concentrate, right Rex?”Rex nods in agreement, his eyes fixed on the computer screen in front of him. "Yeah, Mark, please. I'm trying to hack into the security system, but it's not easy. I need focus."I take a deep breath and try to calm down, but it's hard. Tiffany is out there, and every minute counts. I can't believe Dave showed up and ruined our chance to get to her. I pace around the room, trying to burn off some of the excess energy."Come on, Rex," I say, trying to keep my voice even. "We need to find her. We can't let Temper get his hands on her."Rex nods, his fingers flying a

I'm still reeling from what just happened. I can't believe I let it happen. Even more shocking, I can't deny that I enjoyed it.Stefano and I lie on the couch, our legs tangled together, but there's no tender embrace or sweet whispers. The silence between us is deafening. I'm desperate to know what's going through his mind. Is he plotting his next move? Or is he thinking about how to dispose of me once he's done with me?Stefano's gaze pierces through me, his eyes burning with an intensity that makes my heart race. I try to read his expression, but it's like trying to decipher a puzzle. He's silent, brooding, and it's unnerving.I attempt to break the silence, my voice barely above a whisper. "Stefano, what's going on in your head? What are you thinking?" He doesn't respond, his eyes never leaving mine.I feel like a trapped animal, unable to escape his gaze. Suddenly, he speaks, his voice low and husky. "I'm thinking about how much I want to keep you."I feel a shiver run down my spi

Tiffany turns to me, her face hurt and confused. "Was that what this whole tantrum you've been throwing was about?" she asks, her voice trembling.I feel a surge of shame and guilt, knowing I've hurt her. I try to speak, but she cuts me off, turning to Stefano."And you," she says, her voice cold and venomous. "You're just as bad. Using me as a pawn in your twisted game of cat and mouse. I'm not a prize to be won, Stefano. I'm a person."Stefano looks down, guilt all over his face. "Tiff—" I try to speak, but she cuts me off."No, I've already dealt enough with my father's manipulation. I'm so over this," she says, her voice firm and hurt. She turns and walks out of the room, leaving me feeling like I've really messed up.I realize now that I should have kept my emotions in check. But why would she get involved with her captor in the first place? Is she that naive?"That wasn't a nice thing to say," Rex says to Stefano, his voice disapproving. Stefano looks genuinely remorseful.Mark

My eyes narrow at Mark. What the hell is wrong with him and why the fuck is he acting so selfish. He just shot a man, and he isn’t even concerned one bit. I get, he has every right to be cold towards Stefano. But right now, he’s acting really insensitive.“You have no idea what you’re talking about,” I whisper, taking a step closer to him, my fist clenched. “ you don’t know what he’s been through.”Mark snorts, rolling his eyes. “oh, spare me the drama Tiffany. I do not fucking care. What the fuck is wrong with you? He fucking kidnapped you Tiffany, and now what - I’m the bad guy, cut the crap. I just wasted my time. Let’s get out of here Rex, I’m fucking done with this bullshit.”“Will you chill Mark, you fucking shot someone.” Rex says, trying to calm him down.Mark shrugs “Yea so what, he fucking deserves it, I’m not sorry, look, I’m leaving.” Mark says and start moving towards the door.I’m shocked by marks behavior, What the hell is going on with him, he’s usually not like this.

I burst through the door, my heart racing with a mix of fear and adrenaline. I see Mark, Tiffany’s bodyguard, gun raised, and Tiffany’s desperate attempt to stop him. I try to dodge, But it’s too late. The bullet hits my arm with a searing pain, and I feel my self flying backwards, crashing to the floor.My other hand instinctively grabs my wounded arm, I look up, I see Tiffany’s horrified face above me. “Stefano, no, oh God no!” She screams, tears streaming down her face.Despite the agony, I manage to croak out a reassurance “I’m fine,” I lie trying to calm her down. But I know I am far from fine. The pain is intense, and I can feel blood seeping through my fingers. I glance at Mark, who looks like he’s in shock, and wonder if he meant to shoot me.“What the fuck Mark,” Tiffany says angrily ruining to my side.Mark looks distorted, his eyes darting back and forth between me and the other man whose gun is still pointed at me.“put the fucking gun down and help him, Tiffany pleads, he

“The fuck!” Tiffany exclaims as I and Rex burst the cabin door open “mark?!” She looks like she’s seen a ghost, her eyes wide open with shock and fear.The state I meet her in is not what I expected. She’s wearing old sweatpants and a worn out shirt. Her hair is damp, obviously from a shower. And she’s lost a lot of weight obviously, her cheeks sunken and her eyes prominent. But that’s not it either, she almost look… contented. A sense of calmness radiates from her, like she’s found a sense of peace in this isolated cabin.I scan the room for signs of her captive, while Rex makes a sweep the cabin, his gun drawn. But there’s no one else here. Just Tiffany, alone, looking almost … happy. The realization throws me off guard.“Tiffany?” I say but it comes out croaked“Mark?” She repeats again. Her face switching to relief as she comes forward and hugs me, throwing me off guard again.“Ohmygod we literally spoke about you this morning. Stefano was on his way to come find you. Oh my god. S

“Promise to be careful,” I say to Stefano as he sets to head back to the city.He nods, “I hate leaving you here alone” he whispers leaning into my neck and placing soft kisses. “You’ll be fine till I come back for you?” He says looking into my eyes, his gaze searching mine.My heart literally melts at his concern, I nod, “I’ll be.”“And you’ll wait, till I’m back.” He presses on, a hint of a smile playing in his lipsThat makes me chuckle. “Of course, where could I possible go. We’re in this together right?”“Right.” He replies, his voice low and gentle, he tilts my face up and presses his lips to mine.I kiss him back, savoring the moment, tasting him. I love the softness of his lips, I love how he always seems to taste of peppermint. We had spent last night cuddling, kissing and talking way into the night. I intend using the time he’s away to have a proper rest. And I’m worried about him, he didn’t sleep last night either, and if I think about it, I don’t think he’s ever had a prop

“You know what, you don’t need to answer that,” Sarah said, I heave a sigh of relief, I doubt I would have told her anyways. “Can I use the restroom?” She asked in the calmest tone you’d least expect from someone who has just been informed about the death of her husband.“Yea sure,” I and Rex reply in unisonShe gets up, “I’ll be quick mom,” she said to her mom, gives Chloe a quick peck before leaving for the bathroom“Do you think she’s—" Rex is asking when I cut in “do you think she’s going to be okay?” Thinking again, I add “of course not, that was a dumb question.”“She’s not okay now, but she’ll be. My daughter isn’t one to show emotions. She just needs time to take it in that’s all.” Her mum says “Thank you so much for your help?—"“Mark,” I respond.“Mark,” she repeats, her eyes welling up with tears “thank you.”I nod, feeling a sense of helplessness as I exchange eye contact with Rex and Joe. I want to do more to comfort her, but I know I’ve done all I can for now.Rex leaves

“It’s still not reachable?” I ask Tiffany for the hundredth time frustrated. You’d think that when you need someone urgently they’d be there to help.But no. We’ve been trying to reach Mark for hours now, his line went from ringing to no answer to now, finally unreachable.“What do we do now?” Tiffany ask wearyI sigh. “I don’t know honestly,”“We need to come up with plan B. If Mark’s not picking up then something must be wrong. Mark is always with his phone incase if emergency.” Tiffany response pacing.“ what do you suggest we do? I can’t tackle Don on my own. I’ll need help if I’m going to get us out of this alive”I rub my temples, thinking. We can’t just sit and do nothing, we need to take action. But what?I could take Tiffany with me to a different location, one Don isn’t aware of, but that would create more problems. And what happens if I’m found?, I’ll be shot dead straight away.“Okay,let’s think this through,” I say trying to calm my racing mind “do you perhaps know where

We arrive at Rex’s apartment, a nondescript building in a quiet neighborhood. I pay the driver and usher Sarah and her mom out the taxi, with little Chloe who was asleep, exhausted. Rex answers the door, a look of relief on his face when he sees us.“Uh thank God you made it,” he says ushering us inside. “We tried calling you severally.”That’s when I feel my pocket and realize I left my phone inside the car. “Fuck!” I exclaim“Mark,” Joe calls out coming from the living room “fuck you got us worried for a minute. We were this close to start looking for you.” He says heavy of a sigh of relief.“It’s fine. I’m fine. Abandoned my phone due to the chase. It was intense. I’m just glad no one got hurt. This is Sarah, Dave’s wife by the way, and her mum,” I turn to introduce them. “Little Chloe is asleep.”“Come in, come in.” Rex says, welcoming us “you’re safe now.”Noticing Sarah’s hesitance I nod, “it’s fine. They’re the good guys.”Sarah nods slightly, still looking uncertain, but she f

I can’t believe how much I’m enjoying myself. The diner is cozy and warm, and the waitress is friendly and welcoming. And Stefano…Stefano is being sweet and protective. I feel like I can trust him.As we wait for our food, I ask him about the plan. I know I can’t stay here forever. I need to go back to life. I don’t know what plans my father has or what Don’s intentions are if my father doesn’t pay up, but I don’t think we need to wait to find out, we need a plan.Stefano leans in close, his eyes locked on mine “we’ll figure something out,” he replied, his voice lie and reassuring. “We’ll get through this together.”I nod, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. I feel like I can count on him. I’m not alone in this anymore and that’s all that matters.When the food arrives i take a bite of the “kitchen sink” and my eyes widened in amazement. It’s incredible! Big enough to feed two people, the flavors and textures all work together perfectly.Stefano laughs at my reaction “that good?”
