In my husband’s arms, I felt safe, and he didn’t seem to tire of holding me, keeping his body pressed against mine. He kissed every part of my face, as if still unable to believe I was there. The police officer looked at me with suspicion and, after a while, approached me.“Mistress Lee, I’ll need to take your statement,” he said, his lips pursed in disapproval.I wasn’t in the right headspace for this. I just wanted to go home, take a shower, and lie down in bed, even though I knew that after learning of Bobby’s plans, I wouldn’t be able to sleep, worrying if he’d harm one of the two men in my life. Daon noticed my reaction and turned to the officer.“Can’t it wait? She’s tired, and I’d like to take her home,” Daon asked, and the officer stared at me as if analyzing my behavior, which started to irritate me.“Not before your wife explains properly what kind of kidnapper takes her without any visible struggle, considering she doesn’t seem to have any marks, not even rope burns on her
Dealing with Daon's mother was nothing compared to the whirlwind of emotions I'd been handling over the past few days, but it was still difficult. I rolled my eyes, unsure how to hide my dissatisfaction upon seeing her there, and only when I looked at her did I notice she was arm-in-arm with Louyse."Mom, please don’t start!" Daon warned her with a weak smile on his face, gripping my hand more firmly when I tried to step away."Start what, my son? I’m here on a peace mission. I was talking to Louyse, and the more I talk to her, the more certain I am that you two were born for each other." His mother gestured to the younger woman, who smiled as her cheeks flushed, pretending I wasn’t even there."Don’t say that, you’ll embarrass me," Louyse replied shyly, though it was clear she was enjoying it."It’s the pure truth, dear. I still have faith that my son will open his eyes and see you’re the ideal woman for him. Nothing would make me happier than seeing you two together," his mother ins
The man I love is capable of destroying all my defenses with just one look. He could make me sigh just by thinking of him, and now, as he touched me in that needy way, I knew there was nothing I could deny him."Then go crazy with me!" I pleaded, surrendering completely.What I had desired for so long was finally going to happen. I can't even say how many nights I spent awake, feeling my body burn with a fire I knew only he could extinguish."Make me yours, Jayden!" I begged, desperate."You are already mine, just as I am yours!" he declared, and I nodded, crossing my legs around his waist to prevent him from pulling away."I love you so much, Jane!" he sighed, and I smiled, satisfied, as our bodies fit together like the perfect puzzle."I love you too, Jayden!" I confessed, reaching my climax.When we were both trembling and completely satisfied, we adjusted ourselves as best as we could. We had silly smiles on our faces, and our messy hair gave away the love we had just made."You l
Apologies were useless now, we had been discovered, and maybe it was for the best. Daon already knew everything, but perhaps seeing it with his own eyes would push him away from me and keep him safe, as I knew I could never stay by his side. Daon seemed completely destabilized by my response, and confusion was written all over his face."What? What do you mean?" he asked, intrigued by my revelation."I met Jayden on my first day here. When we went to meet your mother, and she treated me poorly, I left and went to a bar," I began, but my voice faltered.Maybe none of this would have happened if I hadn’t overheard what his mother said that day. Maybe it wouldn’t have happened if we hadn't come to Korea. No. I can’t blame my mistake on circumstances. The only one to blame for everything that happened was myself, for being weak. I let myself be carried away by my impulsiveness, and now I was suffering the consequences of my own actions."I know. You were with a guy there and said it meant
Jayden's Point of View.I knew that one day Daon would find out everything, and I thought that when that day came, I’d be able to say something better than just repeating meaningless apologies to him. I knew I was wrong, I knew Daon didn’t deserve any of this, but the more he talked, the more anger I felt. When he started hitting me relentlessly, without even trying to hear or understand what I had to say, I completely lost control and started throwing punches and kicks back at him.We were blindly attacking each other. My fists hurt and were covered in blood. I couldn’t tell if it was mine or Daon’s. I could hear Jane’s voice in the distance, trying to get us to stop, but the rage had blinded us. The only thing that finally made us stop was when Simon and Maryna appeared and pulled us apart before something worse happened. Even though they broke up the fight, we kept attacking each other, but now, instead of fists, we used words.“You’ve always been a selfish jerk! Without my help, y
Jayden's Point of ViewThe guard zooms in and, after enhancing the image, the vehicle’s license plate becomes clearly visible. Maryna grabs her phone and starts dialing a number while Daon seems to be growing increasingly anxious about his call."No! We have recordings that prove she was kidnapped! She didn’t run away! I CAN'T CALM DOWN! MY WIFE WAS DRUGGED, KIDNAPPED, AND YOU’RE TELLING ME TO WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW? BY TOMORROW HE’LL ALREADY HAVE TAKEN HER OUT OF THE COUNTRY, YOU IDIOT!" Daon shouted, enraged.He didn’t seem to be getting anywhere with the inspector, who appeared to be stubbornly holding onto his own version of the story. Meanwhile, Maryna looked excited as she spoke in a language I didn’t understand, and as soon as she hung up, my heart almost stopped."A long-time friend is going to try to track the car, but he reminded me of something important. The only airport with international flights is Incheon, so we need to head there immediately," Maryna explained urgently."
Jayden's Point of ViewBefore I could react, Maryna took off running, even in her long red evening gown. She kicked off her matching red heels and simply sprinted with surprising speed, catching up to them. She leaped onto the back of the taller figure, who appeared to be the man, and started hitting him on the head. The boys were as shocked as I was, but they quickly reacted, and we all ran over to help Maryna. However, the woman covered in a burka began screaming and crying in a language I didn’t recognize, and airport security surrounded us. Maryna managed to pull the cloth off the man's head and face, revealing that it wasn’t Bobby. The final boarding call for the flight to Venezuela was being made, and we were now surrounded by security. The situation couldn't have been more desperate. They were pulling Maryna off the man, restraining her with her hands bound in front of her using plastic ties. She was trying to explain the situation when something seemed to dawn on her, and her
Jane’s Point of ViewBeing threatened, kidnapped, none of that affected me as much as the sound of that gunshot. I was still numb from the substance Bobby injected into me, but I managed to stand. Everything seemed to move in slow motion, which allowed me to see everything clearly. Daon provoked Bobby, risking his own neck to save me despite my tearful pleas for him to leave.All I wanted was for everyone to get out of here safely. I just wanted to erase the stain of my existence from their lives so they wouldn’t have to go through this. I looked around, seeing the distress on the officers' faces, the tears streaming down Jayden’s flawless face, and Daon’s determined look, his eyes full of resolve to save me even if it cost him his life.When he achieved his goal and Bobby moved the gun from my head to point at him, Daon smirked, and my heart seemed to stop. It was as if Daon wanted Bobby to shoot him, and after a few words that made Bobby’s body tremble next to mine, I wanted to say
