Sarah povBy now, my anxiety for Ashley was skyrocketing.“For God’s sake, Sarah. Are you crazy or what? First, you wanted that Pashley to go away and get lost somewhere. And now you are … ju… just look at you!”Nadia said irritably taking a sip from her glass of orange juice. Both of my friends thought that I was faking it.“Till last night, I was concerned because I was a little afraid that Justin might blame me for her absence. But now I am genuinely worried, guys.” Shella was drumming her fingers on the table. We all just had our breakfast, and I could not eat anything except a cup of coffee.Everything on the breakfast table was making me nauseated.“Guys! Listen. What if … what if … someone has killed her or something.” I stated matter of factly and felt two pairs of eyes looking at me in sheer disappointment.“No, I am serious. She used to walk back home. What if some mugger attacked her or rap*ed her and right now she is lying in that dark alley all alone and…”“Enough!” Nadia
Ashley Walters povCurtains were covering the windows, but I could sense that it was way past sunrise time. I sat up and the first thing that caught my eye was the nak*ed man beside me.His face seemed so relaxed and so much more handsome. It was hard to digest in the morning that the most handsome man lying here was the same man who made love to me last night.What if he would try making love to me again? I guess I should freshen up and be presentable before he wakes up. The man deserved a good smelling girl beside him. I did not want him to gag after getting my stinky scent.I quickly got off the bed and stopped when I realized it hurt down there. Ouch!There was a little bit of dried blood on my thighs. I somehow managed to head towards the bathroom for a shower. After getting done with it I came out and opted to wear a simple powder blue skirt with the most comfortable lingerie and a pair of flip-flops.Initially, my plan was to wear another se*xy lingerie but f*ck with that. I wa
Sarah povI took the last bite of my pancake dipped in syrup and wiped my mouth. It was a small café where Kevin brought me for the breakfast.The place was secluded with hardly two or three waitresses serving around.“On weekends, this place usually swarms with teenagers. It’s quite economical for them to bring their dates here.” He remarked.“Strange.” I shrugged, “I never visited this place. It’s so close to our home.” I said leaning back in my seat. He smiled at that.He was still eating his third serving of waffles with vanilla ice cream. It was odd because I never saw anyone having ice cream for breakfast.“You did not notice it because it’s a small setup. Much lower than your status.” I thought he was insulting me, but he seemed serious, busy in gulping that stuff down his throat.“Coffee?” He asked me and I nodded at once, “So, how are you planning to find out about the girl, Sarah?”“I don’t know. Maybe go out and talk to the Ice cream Heaven owner who is usually there at nig
Ashley Walters povWatching him standing there in the kitchen brought tears of relief to my eyes. Those droplets started flowing down my face and I quickly wiped them with the back of my hands.“You are here? I thought you are mad at me and have left me here.”He got frozen in one place while Edith quickly left the kitchen and got vanished, God knows where.Without looking up, he started assembling everything on the tray.Carrying the tray in one hand and a chit in the other hand, he walked past me but did not forget to slip the note into my hand.The chit said, “Come and eat your breakfast.”Wiping my face again, I silently followed him and sat on the chair that he had quietly pulled out. As usual, he started piling up my plate.We began eating. His eyes were focused on his plate while mine were focused on his face.“Justin!” I tried talking to him, but his face dipped more into his plate. Curving down my lips, I continued eating my eggs. Then something clicked my mind. Standing up,
He took me straight to the room and closed the door behind him with a thud. It was quite easy for him to take off my dress along with tussle-free lingerie.“Should I take it off? Or are you still scared?” He teased me when his boxers were the only thing on his body.“Do what makes you happy, Justin,” I said shyly and sat on the edge of the bed a little conscious of my nakedness. He took the offer and came out of it.Just like last time, I tried to look away.When he started approaching me, I climbed up and moved back to the headboard until his body joined me in the bed. I felt the same need, the same desire when his body touched mine.His big member might be scary, but his muscular nak*ed body was doing delicious things to me. I was sucking his lips and he was trying to tear his mouth away.‘Justin!” I moaned, “Don’t leave me.” I tied my legs around his waist grinding my naked core to his ab.He held one of my bo*obs, “I am not going anywhere. Someone has to take care of these.” His h
Sarah pov Keith reached me on time and both of us left the mansion after midnight. He had brought the car, but it was sensible not to walk through the crowded area. When we reached the town, the place was swarming and without realizing what he was doing, Keith held my hand a little protectively. “Walk this side.” He pulled me towards the sidewalk and increased the grip around my hand, “Coffee? Or slush?” His offer seemed absurd to me, “The girl is missing for the past two and a half days, Keith,” I pointed out, “We can’t waste our time on a picnic.” “We are not exactly picnicking, Sarah. Even if the girl is missing, we do need our food and drink… or are you planning to go on a hunger strike?” He smirked and pulled me towards a small café. The man had an influential background. His father dealt with property, and he was the only heir to all the wealth. Still, he was so fond of going to small cafes. A few minutes back my mind was on Ashley but once I entered the café, I could not
Sarah pov When I woke up, my first reaction to the peculiar surroundings was, maybe I was kidnapped and kept in a room. Keith might be living in a nonfancy place, but his bedroom was opposite the exterior of the house. It was modernly furnished with top-quality wood furniture. A big LED was installed on the ceiling while a high-brand grey colored room fridge was placed in a corner. “Good morning.” The sleepy voice beside me made me go still and it all started coming back to me. How he started kissing me. How he brought me here to his place and how I came here willingly. God! We were not even drunk. And not even for a moment I thought of Justin. The love of my llfe. Oh, my God! Wasn’t I engaged to him? Didn’t I just have se*x with his best friend on his back? The thought was enough to make me gag. I sat up straight and realized I was not wearing anything under the sheets. “Sarah!” I felt the confusion in Keith’s voice. “Sorry, Kevin. I need to go.” I tied the sheet around me an
Sarah povTaking a cab, instead of going home I went to a salon to get a hairdo. Yup!Right now, I did not need to be frustrated. I had to do this on my own. No one would help me unless I help myself.The so called peers and buddies were only interested either in my wealthy background or my smiling face. Nobody wanted to know what was going on inside my head and my heart.The only one who used to care had slipped far away and I was adamant about bringing him back. I was not happy to give up so easily.After my hairdo, I got myself a leisure manicure and pedicure.“Ma’am. What nail color would you prefer?” The salon girl asked me while massaging my feet. The other one was giving a massage to my arm and knew perfectly about the pressure points.“Umm...” I opened my eyes lazily, “maybe a moss green color!” I said and closed my eyes again.My brain had finally started working.The regret of spending the night with Keith was lessening now. I could always explain to Justin that I did it b

Sophia’s pov: Colter was smart, intelligent, and the school’s soccer team captain. For every girl, he was an ideal. But he chose me as his girlfriend. We were good initially but then he started showing his true colors. “Your cousin is a creep, Sophie. He keeps staring at you. The little boy can’t control his urges,” he used to make fun of Rowan and I never liked it. “He is NOT my cousin, Colt.” I used to defend Rowan and that used to annoy him even more. “Yeah. Whatever. He is younger, Sophie. Just a kid! Don’t ever forget that. Trust me! Nobody wants to date a baby.” His remark tugged my heartstrings that day. Every other day he used to get aggressive and used to remind me that Rowan was just a mere kid. Most of the time his aggression used to be due to Rowan. He disliked it when Rowan used to sit right opposite our place in the cafeteria. He easily could get offended if he would find Rowan, visiting my place. I tried convincing him that Rowan was a family friend but failed.
Rowan’s pov:The girl in my arms was sleeping soundly. She was making me feel like my arms were the best place where she could get that deep sleep. She was making me feel like I was a safe haven for her.That fuc*ker Colter tried to take away her spirit. Her soul. But she did it. She defeated him. The day she called me for help, I knew how much courage she must have gathered to do it. To type that single message. That single word.“Rowan!” she murmured in her sleep and stirred in my arms.“Go to sleep, Sophie. You are safe.” I said and closed my eyes but the she-devil close to me, kept rubbing herself against me intimately.“Soph!” I whispered and she made a pout in her sleep and opened her sleep-filled hooded eyes to look at me, “Go to sleep, love.”I tried to control my desire shooting up by her touch. She shook her head and started rubbing her cheek against my chest skin.“You smell amazing, Rowan.” She started kissing my chest and then climbed up to bring her face close to mine, “
Rowan Levisay pov I looked down at the delicate girl in my arms who, very slowly, was now getting closer to me. She already lived in my heart and had, at last, started seeing me. The only difference was, she spotted me after twenty-five goddamn years. And I noticed her when I was just two. She used to sit cozily in bed with my sisters. I could hear their giggling sounds in my cot and always wanted to get down so that I could join the fun. Sometimes, Mom used to allow me to go to them. They used to cuddle me in between and all I wanted at that time was to sit beside my girl. She used to get irritated by my presence, and how I used to cling to her, stare at her. “Mom! I think she doesn’t like me.” While growing up, the four years old me, asked my mom. She smiled and made me sit on her lap. “She might see you if you stop clinging to her. Nobody likes that, Rowan. Everyone loves to have some space, son.” In my teenage years, I could never make a steady girlfriend. Because they all u
Sophia’s pov. Restless, I continued to toss and turn in my bed, the weight of my past worries pressing heavily upon my chest. The hushed murmurs drifting up from downstairs did confirm what I already knew. My parents were still awake and their concern for me was refusing to let them succumb to sleep. Normally, my parents were early sleepers, but tonight was different. Tonight, their parental instincts were on high alert, their worry for me was palpable in the air. Ever since I could remember, they were protective of me and had shielded me from harm, nurtured me with unwavering love and care. As my adoptive parents, they made me and Jackson their utmost priority. They never let us feel that I was adopted and that Jackson was their own blood. As the minutes ticked by, I couldn't help but reflect on the countless times they had been my pillars of strength. They had been my unwavering support, always there to lend a hand or offer to just listen to me. To make me feel heard. And now,
Emerald's pov: The weight of her words settled upon us like a heavy burden, each of us grappling with our own emotions. But at that moment, amidst the chaos of thoughts and feelings, one thing was clear — Sophie had endured some kind of ordeal. Something that was beyond our thoughts, and we had to listen, support, and help her find solace in our embrace. “Talk to us, love.” Rafael encouraged her to speak, “What is it? What did Colt do to you?” his voice seemed tense. “If I will tell you then would you believe me?” She asked Rafael innocently. Like a baby. Gosh! I wanted to cry. I could not wait to be alone and cry in my husband’s arms. But right now, we both needed to stay strong. “Yes, we will.” Abigail spoke with determination, “You are our kid. Why won’t we trust you?” The moment Abigail said that Sophia started crying. Her tears started slipping down her smooth cheeks. “Sophie?” Rafael and I both called her name. We both were shocked. “Mom! Dad! The one month I was with him
Emerald's pov:Sophia was trembling while taking hesitant steps forward. She looked exhausted as if she had been through an ordeal that no words could adequately describe. The room remained silent, each of us holding our breath, waiting for her to speak.I saw Hunter gesturing for his investigators to leave the room without a sound.Finally, Sophia’s voice broke the silence, which was weak yet determined. "I... I'm sorry. I never meant to cause you all this worry. It's... it's complicated. I'll explain, I promise."Rafael and I exchanged glances, a mix of relief and concern etched on our faces. We moved closer to Sophia, enveloping her in a gentle embrace, offering comfort and reassurance. The room slowly came alive with a mixture of relief, confusion, and a silent desire for answers.Hunter, his voice laced with a mix of relief and urgency, stepped forward. "Sophie, we've been searching for you. Where have you been? Are you alright?"Sophia took a deep breath, her eyes darting around
Emerald Wyatt pov: (Sophia’s foster mom)“Emerald. Stop crying.” Abigail Levisay hugged me tightly, “Hunter has called Rowan and he will be here any minute. We will find Sophie. Don’t lose hope.”Tears were streaming down my face. I was sitting on the armchair, clutching a tissue in my trembling hands. Abigail Levisay … my compassionate friend and Rowan’s mom was kneeling beside me, offering comfort.I was sobbing uncontrollably, struggling to compose myself.“I can't help it, Abigail. I'm so scared for Sophie. It's been two days, and we still have no idea where she could be. And now with Colter found dead ... What if something terrible has happened to my daughter too?”Abigail wrapped her arms around me, holding me tightly.She shushed me gently, “I know, darling. It's an incredibly distressing situation, but we have to stay strong. We can't lose hope. Hunter has called Rowan, and he's on his way here. Rowan has connections. Along with Hunter, he can locate Sophie. We're going to fin
Sophia pov:Without another word, he started rubbing my back with soapy hands. Placing my palms on the bathroom walls, I closed my eyes feeling his touch on my body and then my hair with a whiff of my shampoo. He opened the shower and started washing the sand off my hair. I held my breath when I felt his hands unusually lingering on my bre*asts.“May I?” I asked him, offering him the same comfort. He slowly shook his head and wrapped a bathrobe around me.“I can’t risk that, Sophie.” He draped a towel around my hair like a turban. He was still wearing his costume while I was there without a piece of clothing, “I can take my shower later.”True to his word, he didn’t even bat an eye on my nak*edness.“I promise, I would be decent enough not to sed*uce you,” I said mischievously making him chuckle.“And do you think that would make me happy, princess?” he placed his palms on either side of me on the walls of the bathroom behind me,His eyes were searching mine with a mixture of seriousn
