Lisa’s POVEthan sat next to me while pouring wine into his glass that still had a little wine left, after which he lit a cigarette. Before smoking the cigarette, he downed half a glass of wine, then smoked the cigarette and exhaled the smoke into the air. The cigarette smoke filled the VIP room, and to be honest, the smoke made it hard for me to breathe. However, for the sake of information, I tried to endure. “Do you want me to pour you some more wine?” I asked. “No need. Thank you,” he replied. His eyes were staring at a television that was showing a porn movie. The girl in the movie was being fucked by several men. I found it quite disgusting. Did all the VIP rooms show that kind of porn? “Lisa, have you heard the news about my parents and my company?” he asked as he downed his wine. “Yes. Are those rumors making you uneasy?” I asked. “Mostly. But, I feel more like a fool who can’t do anything for my family and myself. I’m willing to be used by a woman for love. Perhaps all me
Piper’s POVUnable to contain our excitement and curiosity, we came to the police station in the morning right after we got the information from Tom last night. Tom took us to the secret room next to the investigation room and what we saw were the same three people who were caught and investigated a while ago. Tom said their names were Kelly, Tia, and Andy. However, this time Tom had got Kelly to confess and would cooperate with the police to solve the case and get Megan, Zac and their accomplices tried and jailed. “I’ll give you more good news,” Tom said. He had a happy and excited look on his face. “Say it quick, Tom,” Jay replied impatiently. “Please have a seat and then I’ll tell you the story over tea. I’ll make a nice and fragrant tea. Now sit down and listen carefully,” Tom said as he poured hot water into a glass and put a tea bag into the glass filled with hot water. After that, he gave the glasses to us. Then, he took and served several pieces of fragrant chocolate cake
Jansen’s POVSuddenly, Jessie and I stood up, feeling both happy and surprised. Our lips painted a big smile. Finally, we could go home. We couldn’t wait to hug Mom and Dad, enjoy Lily’s cooking, and joke around with Ken.“Rose, are you serious?” I asked to make sure.“Of course. Get ready. They’ll be leaving soon,” Rose replied.“Mom, please prepare the food for us to take to the ship. I’ll get my stuff ready now,” Rose pleaded as she hurriedly entered the house. However, her mother asked her to take a shower and change her wet clothes into new ones.Rose went into her bedroom, while Rose’s mom prepared the food for us. Jessie and I sat down to wait for them.Jessie looked at me with a smile. There were no words to describe how I felt at that moment. I would take this terrible experience as a learning experience. Jessie and I would have to be more careful in the future.A few moments later, Rose came out of the bedroom. She was already showered and fully dressed, with a jacket on and
Jay Lee’s POVThe policemen raised their weapons and put their belongings in a safe place. They also asked Nick and me to take cover behind a large tree near to the house. Stealthily, they walked towards the house in a certain formation. Nick and I peeked out from behind the tree. My heart was beating quite fast, and I kept praying that the twins were okay and that the kidnappers didn’t mistreat them. Now and then I looked up at the window of the room on the second floor. The curtains were open, but the lights were not on. I noticed that all the lights in the house weren’t on either. Could the information from Kelly and Ethan be wrong? If there was life in the house, all or some lights in the house should have been on because the forest was dark. Without turning on the lights, it would be even darker inside the house.I tried looking around the forest and I didn’t see any electricity poles or anything. Maybe the house was using candles as a light source or a device that could be use
Jansen’s POVAfter hours of tossing and turning on the fishing boat, I finally saw the Valdirra pier from a distance. I saw several boats anchored at the edge of the pier, people moving around, shops selling their wares, and on the other side in a less crowded area, I saw couples or families relaxing while enjoying the sea view. To be honest, I had visited this pier once with Mom long before we met Dad and Jessie. Ah, time flies so fast. I guess that was a few years ago. I didn’t want to miss this beautiful memory alone. I woke up Jessie, who was asleep beside me. “Jessie, Jessie, wake up,” I said. Rose also fell asleep in front of us. It looked like they were exhausted. I was also tired and wanted to lie down on my soft and fragrant bed. Jessie didn’t budge. But, I didn’t want to give up so easily. I kept trying to wake her until she opened her eyes. After all, this ship would dock soon. “Jessie, we’re at Valdirra,” I whispered in her ear. Jessie stirred. Her eyes opened, althou
Jansen’s POVMe, Jessie, and Rose rushed into the car. Rose sat next to Ken, while Jessie and I sat in the middle passenger seat.Although we had to go to the police station to give a statement, I can say that day was the happiest day for me and Jessie.The car driven by Ken drove away from the pier. I looked back and noticed that the pier was still crowded with people with their own interests. I saw more boats docked at the edge of the pier and some of them unloaded ice crates filled with fish. That afternoon, the sun was still bright and the light reflecting off the sea made it look even more beautiful.Goodbye suffering and welcome happiness!Arriving at the police station, the police officers greeted us. They took us to a room and asked us to wait while they got ready.A while later, two policewomen came in with some files. They sat down in front of the laptop and started asking me and Rose a lot of questions. We answered all the questions as best we could.An hour and a half late
Jay Lee’s POV“Sir, may I come in?” Nick called from behind the door. He rarely came this early. In just an hour, I would be in the office. Why did he decide to see me here?“Come in,” I replied, closing the document I was reading. “Sit down, Nick. What are you doing here so early? We can talk in the office,” I asked as I stood up and walked toward the table where I put the wine, champagne, ice cubes, and some empty glasses. “Thank you, sir,” he replied as he took off his jacket and sat down. “Would you like a drink?” I asked.“Yes, sir.”I poured a glass of red wine into two empty glasses, then gave one to Nick. “Drink up.”“Thank you,” he replied, finishing half the glass of wine in no time. “What are you in such a hurry for?” I asked curiously. “I found out a few things. Do you still remember the case you asked me to continue investigating?” he asked. Both eyebrows shot up. “Yes. About Jessie being switched by Megan.”“Not only that, sir. But also about what happened seven y
Zac’s POV“Megan,” I called. She turned her head. Her beautiful face looked perfect in the sunlight. Even though I don’t have feelings for her, I think she’s a woman like no other.We have the same character and different ambitions as others. She deserves to be the mother of my children. Now it was time for us to part ways. No matter what, she must survive and leave this place. While I will fight to the last breath. “Zac,” she replied. I walked closer to her and pulled her body closer to me. I hugged her tightly and kissed her head several times. Her hands hugged me. I could hear her rapid breathing, a sign that she was scared. “Are you scared?” I asked. She nodded.I released the hug, touched her jaw, and looked into her eyes, which were green like sparkling jewels. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll find a way for you to get out of here. After you get out of this place, go back to your mother’s house,” I said. She gripped both my hands. While looking into my eyes, she asked, “You’re comin
Megan’s POVMoments later, I heard many footsteps approaching me and a few guards helped me up and then they asked me to sit in the wheelchair. I saw that the pants I was wearing were wet and red with blood. A guard yelled and ordered two of my cellmates to prepare clean clothes for me. Things were quite chaotic. I just sat quietly in the wheelchair while enduring the pain. I wanted to scream and call my mom, but it was impossible. She was in a distinct part of the prison from me. I could only endure the pain alone. I couldn’t bear this pain any longer. After my cellmate gave a plastic bag containing clothes to a guard, they hurriedly took me away from there. They took me to a special clinic for prisoners. The city government had deliberately set up special clinics in each prison that were well-equipped so that prisoners didn’t have to be taken to a big hospital as much as possible. My wheelchair was pushed quickly. Blood continued to flow from my vagina. I stroked my stomach and mu
Piper’s POV“At one point, I regretted all the evil deeds I had done in the past and I felt that my life was not at peace. After thinking for a while and talking to someone, I came here and take responsibility. I’m sure everyone wouldn’t want to be in prison or spend their whole life in prison, but serving time in prison means I’m making amends to everyone I’ve hurt bit by bit,” Megan replied as she looked down at her cuffed hands. I saw clear liquid soaking into her bare face without makeup. Suddenly, Megan’s face turned towards the large glass where we stood and stared at us. The large glass separated the investigation room from the secret room. She smiled and said, “Piper, are you there? Sorry. All I can say to you is sorry. I wish you a happy ever after.”I was stunned. Jay hugged me from the side and I sobbed. Why did it have to end like this? Megan and I spent a lot of time together when we were kids. People said we were like twins. However, who would have thought that things w
Jay Lee’s POV As I was about to leave the workroom, my cell phone suddenly rang. Ah, it was an incoming call from Tom. If Tom was calling me in the middle of the night like this, he must have a special reason. “Yes, Tom. What’s up?” I answered. “Jay, I’m sorry to call you in the middle of the night like this, and I’m sorry to disturb your rest. I have some good news,” he replied. His voice sounded cheerful. “It’s okay. I was just about to go to bed. What’s the good news about?” I asked curiously. “Megan came here and confessed to everything she did. After searching for so long, she finally came in person and confessed everything. Now she’s in the investigation room with some officers. While her male friend waits in the waiting room,” Tom replied. “Re-really? Didn’t I hear wrong?” I asked for confirmation. “No, you didn’t. Come here tomorrow morning. Oh, and when will your wife give birth?” Tom asked. “Next month. That’s why I want this case to end soon so that Piper can give bi
Megan’s POVIt was snowing heavily in December while bringing strong winds and cold air. I spent every day just staying in my room and covering my body with thick blankets. Dean often made hot tea for me and cooked soup for us to eat every day. Fifteen days had passed since I arrived at that place. One month left, it was time for me to give birth. That night I intended to speak my heart out and tell Dean about my past. And for those fifteen days, we did everything together until I realized something had happened between the two of us. I realized Dean had fallen in love with me. He treated me more gently and provided everything I needed, including a crib and all the supplies. He also cuddled me when we slept together at night. However, there was one unique thing: when he wanted sex, he would ask me first. If I was willing, then we would do just that. However, if I wasn’t willing, he wouldn’t insist and he would masturbate alone in the bathroom. And he never had sex twice every time
Megan’s POVMy eyes continued to leak clear liquid. My chest felt tight and my mind kept replaying the events of the past and showing all the evil deeds I had done to those closest to me, including Piper, Uncle Martin, and Doctor Kevin. What kind of woman am I? I thought I deserved the nickname of a heartless demoness. Do I still have a future? Do I deserve to live after all the terrible things I’ve done? Even God might turn His face away because I’m a sinner. What was I supposed to do? Suddenly, I heard the door opening, and I looked back. That man walked in and looked at me in surprise. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Did you finish your breakfast?” I just nodded. My voice seemed to disappear somewhere. I had to make a choice, but I was confused and didn’t know what to do. “Oh, apparently you’re hungry. Do you still want to eat? If so, I’ll make something for you. And I’ve also bought quite a lot of snacks for you,” he said as he picked up the tray and cleared the dining tabl
Megan’s POV“I felt nothing. So, don’t think too highly of me,” I said as I looked around the corner. He laughed loudly. “You’re lying. How is it possible to not feel anything yet your lips are making moans? I’m not stupid, but you’re right. I think highly, and I’m sure you’ll like me.”“Don’t get your hopes up. I hate you. You forced me in here and harassed me. I’ve told you many times that I’m not one of those women. They do work as prostitutes, but don’t,” I replied in a lofty tone of voice. “If you’re not one of them, then why did you end up here?” he asked as he got up and took something out of his desk drawer. He took out a box of condoms. Then he unwrapped one and put it on. “I’m going to use a condom so we both benefit,” he said. “You’re the lucky one while I lose. If you’re such a nice guy, you should have let me go and not kept me here,” I said, trying to change his mind. “Stop trying so hard to change my stance. What I want to do, I will do. Now it’s time for us to pl
Megan’s POVI turned around and saw a tall man with a scar like a knife cut on the right side of his face grinning and observing me from head to toe. The look in his eyes scared me, as if he was stripping me naked. “They’ve brought you here. Where are you going?”“Let go of my hand. Let me go!” I yelled as I tried to break his powerful grip. And I saw the police car had gone far away from me. I was trapped in this place. The women who had been with me entered a warehouse. “Let go of your hand! You’re hurting me,” I yelled for the second time. I looked into his eyes, but he didn’t budge, and a few seconds later, he smiled. “Come with me. I guarantee you’ll like it.”“I’m not coming with you!” I yelled. “Please. Someone help me,” I yelled. Then he forcefully pulled my hand to walk with him somewhere. The more I rebelled, the more violent he became. Moments later, a middle-aged woman wearing thick makeup came out of the entrance of a warehouse. I thought the place looked like a large
Zac’s POVI felt my world collapse in an instant as my body fell to the floor. Warm red liquid flowed from several parts of my body that were perforated by bullets, and the red liquid hit my hands.My body felt painful and hot. My consciousness was getting less. I leaned my body partially against the wall. With a gasp, I looked around the room while smiling and imagining the old days when all my men and I were partying. We joked around while talking about our past, when we were still fighting together to complete every mission and received pay ranging from small amounts to huge amounts. We were just a group of orphans from a village. We grew up together and had the same dream of a better and happier life, even though our families had abandoned us as babies. Since then, we have helped each other and worked together. Until one day, the opportunity to run this business came to me and I recruited them. Within a few years, we had everything we wanted. It wasn’t until the bullet pierced
Zac’s POV“Megan,” I called. She turned her head. Her beautiful face looked perfect in the sunlight. Even though I don’t have feelings for her, I think she’s a woman like no other.We have the same character and different ambitions as others. She deserves to be the mother of my children. Now it was time for us to part ways. No matter what, she must survive and leave this place. While I will fight to the last breath. “Zac,” she replied.
