Inishola sat in his office, a dimly lit room filled with artifacts from his homeland. The air was heavy with the scent of sandalwood, and the soft hum of a traditional Japanese string instrument playing in the background. The leader of the Japanese mafia was a figure of immense power and respect, known for his unyielding sense of honor and his strategic brilliance. His sharp, piercing eyes scanned the documents before him, each one meticulously detailing his next move.He glanced up as the door opened and his son, Kamsy, stepped in. Kamsy was a younger version of Inishola, with the same lean build and sharp features. He had been groomed from a young age to take over the family business, learning the intricacies of their operations and the importance of maintaining their reputation."Father," Kamsy said, bowing slightly. "We have received the details regarding Kelsey. Our sources have narrowed down his location."Inishola nodded, his expression unreadable. "Good. We will proceed with
Emily's Point of ViewEmily woke up to the sound of her alarm blaring, her heart heavy with the weight of uncertainty. Her brother Kelsey was still missing, and the worry gnawed at her constantly. She dragged herself out of bed, her movements mechanical as she prepared for another day at school. The usual excitement she once felt was replaced by a pervasive sense of dread. After dressing in a simple outfit and grabbing her backpack, she headed downstairs where Tony and Chris were finishing breakfast."Morning, Em," Tony greeted, his tone overly cheerful in an attempt to lift her spirits."Morning," she mumbled, grabbing a piece of toast.Chris watched her closely, concern etched on his face. "You sure you’re up for school today?"Emily nodded, forcing a smile. "I need the distraction.""Alright," Chris said, though his eyes betrayed his worry. "But remember, if you need anything, just call.""I will," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.The ride to school was silent, the u
Xander point of View Xander sat at a polished mahogany table, his expression a mixture of frustration and anticipation. He glanced around the room, taking in the opulence and understated elegance that spoke volumes about the power of its occupant.Xander’s thoughts were interrupted by the soft sound of the door opening. He turned to see Inishola, the formidable leader of the Japanese mafia, enter the room with his son Kamsy by his side. Inishola was a tall, imposing figure, his presence commanding respect. Kamsy, though younger, carried himself with the same quiet confidence, his sharp features and keen eyes reflecting his father's legacy.“Xander,” Inishola greeted, his voice smooth yet authoritative. “Thank you for coming.”“Thank you for seeing me,” Xander replied, standing up and offering a respectful nod. “We’re grateful for your assistance in finding Kelsey.”Inishola gestured for Xander to sit, and the three men took their seats around the table. Kamsy, seated to his father's
EMILY'S POV: Two months later, it felt like Kelsey had vanished without a goodbye. The others gave up, telling me to move on, but I kept counting the days, hoping my brother would return and explain why he had to do all this. During my final exam, Chris walked toward Tony and me, and our physics teacher asked us to leave the class. Confused, we followed Chris out. As Tony closed the door, Chris looked distressed, breathing fast. "What's wrong, dude?" Tony asked, but Chris looked away before revealing, "We got a letter saying they have Kelsey, and to see him again, we need to give Emily to them." My eyes widened – was this the reason for Kelsey's strange behavior? Tony expressed doubt, suggesting Kelsey might be playing games. Chris, however, reminded us of our family's enemies and their tendency to exploit any weakness. Concerned about our approaching birthday, I asked, "What are we going to do now?" "Don't worry, little one. Xender and Eren have called our uncles and cou
EMILY'S POV: I woke up with a pounding headache, feeling nauseous. The room was dark, and I noticed all my brothers were tied up, blood dripping down from their mouths. My mouth was dry, and my body ached from the car accident. As I glanced around, I spotted a body in the corner with hair resembling Kelsey's. Without hesitation, I rushed towards it, falling to my knees. Kelsey looked lifeless, his face bruised, his lips dried up, and his clothes dirty. "Kelsey, we're here. We'll all go home, okay? I'm so sorry this happened to you," I whispered, tears streaming down my face. I looked up to see the others still unconscious. Quickly standing up, I approached the door, recalling Chris's words about the kidnappers wanting me. If I could get their attention, maybe they'd release my brothers. Surveying the room, I found a bell. Grabbing it, I moved toward the door. "HEY!" I yelled, hoping to attract someone's attention. Glancing back at my brothers, I prayed they wouldn't wake u
Emily sat on the bed, her stomach growling in protest after two days without food. The room was small and sparse, a stark reminder of her captivity. Despite her hunger and fear, she clung to the hope that her brothers would come to her rescue. The thought of them breaking down the door and whisking her away was the only thing that kept her going. Today had been a strange mix of emotions—moments of despair interspersed with fleeting hopes. Deciding that sleep might offer some respite, she lay down, closing her eyes and willing herself to escape into dreams. As she began to drift off, the door creaked open slowly. Her eyes snapped open, and she sat up, heart racing. A large man with striking blue eyes and white hair entered the room. Despite the circumstances, Emily couldn't help but notice his beauty and a whimsical thought flitted through her mind about him being her future husband. Suppressing a giggle, she gave him a serious look, making him raise an eyebrow."Hel
Kelsey sat in his car, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. The weight of his actions pressed heavily on his chest, making it hard to breathe.He had sold his sister to cover his mistakes, and the guilt was consuming him. He thought he could handle it, thought it was the only way out, but now the reality was unbearable.The memory of Emily’s face haunted him, her eyes wide with fear and betrayal as she was taken away. He had convinced himself that she would be okay, that she would be treated well, but the uncertainty gnawed at him. He had to find her. He had to make things right.His brothers, Xander and Tony, were equally frantic. They had been searching for Emily for weeks, scouring the city, questioning everyone who might have seen or heard something. But so far, their efforts had yielded nothing. Emily seemed to have vanished without a trace.Tony, always the more hot-headed of the brothers, was especially furious. He paced back and forth in the living room, his fists
Emily stood by the window of her new room, staring out at the snow-covered landscape of rural Russia. The stark, white expanse stretched out endlessly, a cold contrast to the warmth she had left behind. The mansion was grand, almost palatial, with its towering columns and intricate ironwork, but it felt more like a gilded cage than a home. She wrapped her arms around herself, seeking comfort in the woolen sweater she wore, but the chill seemed to seep into her bones from the inside out.A week had passed since Emily had arrived with Kamsy and his father, Inishola. They had treated her kindly, ensuring she had everything she needed and more. Kamsy, with his easy smile and gentle nature, had tried to cheer her up, showing her around the estate and introducing her to the household staff. Inishola, a stern yet not unkind man, had reassured her repeatedly that she was welcome and safe. Yet, despite their efforts, a profound sadness lingered in her heart.Emily missed her brothers. She had
