"I've been waiting to hear you say that," Viktor said, a proud look plastered on his face.

Ivan remained silent, his expression hardened.

"I know someone. Someone who knows this world better than any of us. His name's Rafael. He'll teach you all you need to survive in this world, how to make decisions, how to lead."

My gaze flickered to Ivan, expecting him to say something, but he remained silent, his jaw tense as he looked away.

"So when do I start?", I asked, trying to ignore the anxiety in my chest.

Viktor met my eyes.

"Tomorrow, you'll have a lesson everyday. It'll be intense and difficult, sometimes excruciating, but it'll be worth it. And you'll need to start thinking like the leader you're supposed to be."

Before I could respond, Ivan said, "I'll be with you, every step of the way." His voice firm,though there was a note of something else, something I couldn't quite place.

"Fine," I replied finally, crossing my arms. "But I'm tired of being a damsel always needing to

    IsadoraAfter the first lesson as I retired for the night, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was being watched. Knowing that there was a spy under the same roof, monitoring and reporting on my movements was making me paranoid.As I on the edge of my bed, I said to myself, "Calm down, you're just imagining things."As I reached for the glass of water on my nightstand, I heard a faint creak echoe through the room. I became still.I listened again, hearing another creak.My heart began to pound. I stood up slowly, grabbing the small knife I had hidden under my pillow ever since the poison incident.I moved towards the door, something in my gut telling me that I wasn't alone.I yanked the door open- only to find nothing."You're being paranoid, Isa," I said rubbing my hands against my arms.Still unconvinced, I stepped out of my room, walking down to the living room.Just as I looked around, I saw a shadow shift near the staircase in the split of a second.My pulse racing, I gri

    IsadoraViktor had asked to meet for a discussion.Walking into the carter's main meeting room, Ivan and Viktor were seated, while Rafael leaned against the far wall, arms crossed."We've been waiting for you. I heard about what happened last night, I hope you're okay," Viktor addressed me, a look of worry on his face."I'm alright Viktor, thank you." I said as I fell into an opposite seat at the head of the table."I've been thinking. This isn't something we need to fold our arms and just keep watch. We have to act fast." He stated, taking turns to look at the faces of the rest of us in the room."Whoever got in last night won't stop. They were testing the security- next time, they won't just be watching."Ivan cut in coldly, "No they won't. Next time, they'll be dead."After thinking for a moment, I turned to Viktor."So what are you saying Viktor? What do we do?""We set a trap." He stated, as he slid a folder towards me.I opened it, it contained details- security loopholes, blin

    Isadora The following morning, we met at the main strategy room to discuss the plans for tonight.I sat at the center of the table, my hands clasped. Viktor and Rafael stood on opposite sides, explaining the plan.Ivan leaned against the wall, arms crossed, uninterested in the conversation; his expression still visibly displeased."We control the narrative. We let the spy think they're slipping in unnoticed, when in reality we dictate every step they make- guiding the right our hands." Viktor stated.Rafael continued, his fingers running along the blueprint of the estate on the table. "We leave one entrance 'unguarded', or make it seem like that- the west wing. They'll think it's a weak spot.""And when they take the bait?" I asked, nodding."We surround them, block off all exits, and get them alive. No one pulls a gun unless absolutely necessary. We want them alive." Viktor added."And if it goes wrong?" Ivan interjected coldly."Can you stop being negative? Don't jinx it." I said,

    IsadoraMy head throbbed violently. I had realized panic was useless, so I forced my breathing to steady.Some other men walked in."She's awake," the scarred man said as he turned towards them."Good. The boss will want to see her."The doors opened widely and the sound of heavy boots approached, as the distinct sound of a gun being dragged against an iron made my heart pound.A rough hand gripped my chin, forcing my face up. The light from the door cut through the darkness, making my eye squint."Well, well, well," a hoarse voice drawled. "The new queen finally opens her eyes. You were out for quite some time."I blinked rapidly, my vision adjusting to the dimly lit room.A man was crouched in front of me, grinning like a wide animal. He had a rough face, yellow-stained teeth and a wicked look in his eyes."Who are you?" I asked, my throat dry.The man chuckled. "Funny I should be asking you the same thing." He stood up, towering over me."You don't belong in this world, princess.

He stated, his voice slow and purposeful.I stared at him, a blank expression on my face.He smirked, "You're holding up really well, but I just have to ask. What exactly are you holding up for?""Surely, you don't think Ivan and your cartel members are planning a rescue mission. We've been watching them, no movement.

I had finally been rescued, finally away from the nightmare, but my body still trembled and my face was pale.Viktor, standing a few feet away, exhaled sharply. "Isa-""What took you so long?" I repeated, my voice raised and angry, as my eyes moved from Viktor to Rafael to the others in the room. "Why did it take you so long to find me?"A long silence followed as I tried to keep it together.Rafael looked down uncomfortably, his hands running down his face. "The plan... it didn't go as expected."A bitter laugh escaped my lips. "You think I don't know that?"Viktor stepped forward, his expression hardening. "Isa, we were moving as fast we could.

My voice trembled as I sat on the edge of my bed, my arms wrapped around myself like a shield.Ivan, standing a few feet away, exhaled sharply. "Isadora-""You were late, Ivan," I repeated, my voice louder and cracking this time. "Do you understand how that made me feel?"He clenched his jaw. "I do."I laughed bitterly. "No, I don't think you do."I didn't look at him yet, I was afraid that if I did, I'd see nothing. No sign of remorse or regret. No guilt."I counted every second, every minute, hoping you'd come. I kept telling myself, 'Ivan is coming. He wouldn't leave me here.' But with each second that passed and you didn't come, it was hard to keep believing it."
