20. Interview>My eyes dart towards the door, but my feet stay frozen. “Find me in my lounge if you are serious about the job,” He says, in a low voice and I blink.“Let’s figure out what you have to offer.”My heart skips a beat, and blood rushes to my ears, making it hot. I am not sure if I am offended by his statement or aroused. Something is wrong with me. I should get my head checked. When did I start liking mean men?He takes one more step closer and places his hand on wall above my head. I glance up at his face, speechless. His lips, wearing a devilish smirk. “And to answer your question, little Riley… It’s a men’s restroom. So I wonder what are you doing here at first place?” he says, towering over me. “No, it’s not!” I shutter and my eyes dart around and fall on a urinal. My jaw goes slack. How did I miss that? “I– I…” I shake my head, flushed, unable to process.“Th-The bartender brought me here… I thought-” His eyes darken. He pulls his arm away, and the

21. Garrett>We make our way into the hotel a little later than the agreed time. Jonas stays with Jessica in a suite while I make my way towards the King suite with Raylan and Patterson. I have left my bodyguards with them. I could have left them at home, but I have different plans for today.A guard opens the door for us, and we enter. The room is dimly lit, with a large table in the center. Callum, Garrett and Rose are sitting in the living area. Emma is nowhere in sight. The central table is cluttered with papers and documents. Rose picks up the papers, gathering it at one place. They have been discussing this meeting at the last minute.Does it mean Jonas’ contact did his job and they are unprepared?“Why do you need security, Callum?” I taunt him as I make my way towards them. “Do you expect some sort of ambush?”Although I admit, I have an urge to wrap my arm around his neck. Not that I will give in. After that incident with Riley, I haven’t heard the end of it

22. Shots>I leave the private booth, walking towards the dance floor and bass of music makes itself known again.“Tell me the good news!!!” Ira asks as girls rush towards me.“It’s done! I will sign it tomorrow.”Girls squeal & congratulate me. I am smiling ear to ear. I was so stressed about talking to dad. Now it’s not needed anymore.“I am so proud of you! We need a celebratory drink!” Natalie says, and pulls me to a table where Liam is sitting with his drink. His posture is relaxed. He nods at me.“We should go home… we will be wasted if we drink more…”“Loosen up, for fuck’s sake…. Half an hour. Then we will leave…” She leaves me and Liam alone while dragging Natalie to the bar.I look at Liam, and he smiles at me. “I guess there is some good news?”“Yes,” I tell him, grinning. “I-” I am not supposed to tell anyone. I bite my lips and shake my head.“I won a lottery of sorts.” I have to work hard for the money. But still, I feel happy from inside. The future look

23. Meeting>“Let’s get it started. I don’t have a whole day to waste,” I say as we get ourselves comfortable.“What do you want from Rose?“ Callum asks as he takes out a flash drive case and passes it towards me.“We can discuss my ex-wife later. If we are in a good mood after this meeting.” Which is highly unlikely. Especially for him.I feel the drive between my fingers, then pass it to Raylan. He turns on his laptop to check the intranet drive that caused so many freaking problems.Yes, I had an option to go cloud. But I am old school and I like to keep things offline. Like a secured cloud server, it’s hard to crack or clone a protected drive too. Raylan connects the drive while Patterson taps his fingers on the table, bored. I fix my gaze at Callum.“Did she tell you how she managed it?” I ask, out of curiosity. So far, we have figured out Emma was an ethical hacker, but she hid this information from us.Bitch.I’m sure she was planted in my company. Not by Call

Privacy > It’s been a few weeks since I started working at Josef corporation and the tiredness has sucked the soul out of me. I am snoozing in my bed when a door knock breaks my slumber. “Go away! I am sleepy.” “NO! You didn’t come out of your room the whole day. Open the fucking door,” Natalie yells at me across the door. I glance at the clock and shut my eyes again. It’s late afternoon. I still have time. I miss laying in my bed for hours over the weekend. The door knocks again, and I drag myself out of the bed to let her in. “I brought you a surprise,” she says, holding out a take-away burger. I take the bag from her and rub my eyes. “Thanks, Nat. This looks great.” She props up on Ira’s bed while I climb on mine. “Did you eat anything at all today?” “Yes… Ira bought me breakfast before going away for a hike. Then I had a granola bar in afternoon.” I wish I could join her. A hike would have been nice. “And you ate nothing for lunch?” she quirks a brow a

25. Lift>I lean back in my seat and gaze out the window as Jonas hums on the music while driving through the bustling city. The tall constructions and fast-moving cars seem to blur together as they pass by. I can’t help feeling a sense of awe at the sheer size and energy of the city.Downtown. Heart of the city….“It’s amazing, isn’t it?” Jonas says, glancing over at me. “All these people, all these buildings. It’s like a never-ending story.”I nod, still staring out the window.“I always feel so small when I come here…. Like a tiny human in front of all these tall architectures.”“You look tiny, even in a crowd of people. Let alone buildings.” He snorts.“HEY! I am not tiny!”Jonas chuckles. “Oh well, you must be. That’s why the bouncer couldn’t spot you that night. He said you vanished in the sea of people…”“He was threatening to throw me out of the club.” I cry. “What was I supposed to do?”Jonas chuckles. “That’s the beauty of being tiny.

26. Jessie>It was a beautiful day today. So we went to the park today. Jessie giggled and shrieked with joy while trying out the swings and see-saw.After letting her play there for an hour, I brought her to the office so I could attend the departmental meeting with team leads. I walk down the hallway with Jessie waddling behind me. She has been roaming around the office and I am trying to keep my patience. Complete resignation. This is what you need with kids sometimes. I am waiting for the lift as I watch her exploring and walking towards me. Suddenly, I feel a jolt as someone bumps into my chest.“Watch where you are going!” I say in annoyance and look down.It’s Riley. I am about to say something but her expression makes me pause.“I–I am sorry,” she stammers, and she runs off.I stand there for a moment, confused. Her eyes were brimming with tears. My gaze falls at Jonas holding the lift door for me.“What happened?“ I ask as I make my way inside the lift and J

27. Dinner Party > “Fuck,” Jessica says and an incident flashes in front of my eyes. Almost 6-8 months ago, I was babysitting a 2-year-old. Cute boy. Very active. Her mother was a little bitch sometimes. But the pay was good, so I put up with her. One fine evening, he started saying some obscene words. Especially ‘Fuck’. He would say it again and again and again. I was mortified. Kids this age are super attentive. I thought maybe I had a slip of tongue in front of him. After a huge tantrum and a few insults from her mother, I was fired. A few months later. I met her somewhere. Laughing, she told me, “Remember that F word he threw around?” That was a sore nerve, but I kept my smile. “My boy was saying ‘Frog’.” ‘Five green and speckled frogs Sitting on a speckled log Eating the most delicious bugs…’ I hate that nursery rhyme now. ….. His jaw ticks, and he shakes his head in disapproval. And I want to shrink in my spot. “Three weeks. It took me three weeks to

. - Riley - .“Lie down with me?”Mikolaj nods and pulls out his phone, typing a quick message. I watch him, feeling an odd tightness in my chest that I can’t quite understand. When he finally tucks his phone away and lies beside me, I turn onto my side to face him. It’s then I notice the slight hitch in his breathing, each breath rough and uneven, his face etched with lines of pain.“How bad are your injuries? Your liver?”“It’s fine. She was creating a fuss for no reason,” he says with an air of annoyance towards the stern lady. “My ribs are still a mystery. We will know more after x-ray.” His voice trails off, and I glance up at him, raising a brow.“And…?”“Nothing serious. I’m hoping it’s just a hairline fracture, not a full break…”“Sounds awful.”“Not that bad, trust me. I am just worried about how I will handle Jessie jumping around in bed.”I go quiet when I hear Jessie’s name. How things will be when I get back to my life. West could try to kidnap me again, or Maxim. Would I

. - Riley - .As they wheel through a dimly lit hallway, lethargy and dull pain wash over me like a heavy blanket. My back aches, my left arm throbs, and there’s something digging into my neck that’s becoming increasingly annoying.The stretcher carrying Miko pulls away from me and he protests, “Take us to the same room!”“No…” the medic who tended to us in the chopper says pointedly.“Oh, for fuck’s sake, it’s not a hospital!” Mikolaj snaps at her.“Our commitment to our work rivals that of an emergency room.” She claps back in a mockingly professional tone and I am wondering if I should laugh or be wary of her statement. “Plus, do you want to die of internal injuries?”“Yeah man… We need to make sure the person paying us doesn’t drop dead,” the guy with the dislocated shoulder croaks, eliciting a round of chuckles from the others. “I feel fine,” Miko mutters, sulking.“She needs some privacy, and you need an ultrasound.” With that, she rushes into a room with the man who has a bull

Ride. - Mikolaj - .“All clear.” The Merce ahead of me says after a quick sweep of the room. A brief glance behind tells me the man limping along with me is losing his strength. “Stay here and make sure no one comes from behind,” I tell him. We both know it’s unlikely—everyone in this building is either dead or incapacitated. Still, I would rather he conserve his energy than exhaust himself before the mission is over. We’re not safe until we’re out.“How is it going?” Raylan asks over my ear piece and I grunt.“Not sure if she is here,” I reply, keeping my focus on the bodies lying down. My urge to drill another bullet in each of their heads is strong, but there’s no point in disrespecting the dead, especially when it would invite more legal complications than we already have.“Fuck.”My heart hammers in my chest as I ask, “What?”“Yours is the only team having some action. Rest of the sites were… Not the one,” he says with a slight pause.Based on the analysis of the sunlight and

110. Rescue . - Riley - . My hands tremble as I grab the door handle and pull. It doesn’t budge. Did West come back, or is it just the seven of us under attack? A small part of me wonders if it's the police. I have no choice but to wait and watch my luck unfold. So I do that. I sink in a corner and flinch with each gunshot. Rapid sharp cracks make my heart jump as I realize someone is firing an automatic rifle. This can't be a rescue mission. Considering the chaos outside I will definitely die before the night ends. Chewing on my lips, I glance towards the bathroom and consider. I should try 911 again. My legs are weak beneath me as I tiptoe inside and lift the lid off the toilet tank. I reach in and feel the cold plastic of the phone. Next, I go to the mattress and lift the edge just enough to grab the folded piece of tissue that hides the unused pregnancy test. I shove the test into my pocket, promising myself If I survive this night, first thing I will do is take the test. My

. - Riley - .Thankfully, I am already on the move to put the toilet tank lid back on when Scarlett slams the door open.“What did you do?” she demands.“One of them grabbed me… I- I just reacted,” I say, reaching to flush, praying that the flimsy plastic bag somehow saves the phone.She nods, her expression unreadable as she turns on her heel. “Come with me.”Her silence makes my heart thump and I follow her down the hallway, my mind racing. “Scar?” I ask in a small voice.“You could have come to me!” she snaps. “Reed is trying to seal a deal with them, and the man you attacked is someone important.” She is quiet for a moment, breathing hard as she asks, “Seriously, tell me, are you seeking trouble for no reason?”“I am NOT!” I defend myself, my anger rising. How could she say that to me? “He was groping me. What am I supposed to do? Let him feel me?” “As long as he is not screwing you without payment, I don’t see a problem.

. - Riley - .As West locks the door from outside, I turn and my eyes meet the stare of security camera, its red blinking light taunting me. Is Mikolaj really watching or is West just playing mind games? Doesn’t matter. I am pissed at both of them. West kidnapped me, but Mikolaj... He literally forced me to live with him so I would be miserable.“Does my misery make you delighted, Mr. Josef?” Slight shake of my head I add, “I fucking hate you… Hate that you used me to get your stupid revenge.” I know he cannot hear me, but if he could, would he even care? Turning on my heel, I stroll into the bathroom. As my hand grips the cold knob, the rage drains away, leaving the hollow ache. My emotions are a chaotic mess, bouncing between hurt and fury. I should blame the sex party West forced me to stay in. The atmosphere of lust and excess made my eyes bleed. Figuratively. Then he had the nerve to ask for a kiss. And the worst part… First thought that crossed my mind was how Mikolaj would re

Deal. - Mikolaj - .“They will try to squeeze you dry, Miko. This 10k stunt was just to put you at ease with the idea of spending money. I know you’re stressed, and this is why you need to consult others before spending any more money,” Raylan says as he pulls over in front of Camilla’s house. Apparently, paparazzi are still lingering around my house, hence Camilla brought her here.“I will also look for an expert who can advise us on negotiations. If they contact during the night—which we both know is highly unlikely—ask me or Camilla first. Don’t decide anything alone.”I’m too exhausted to show my annoyance. So I simply nod and grab my bag to walk inside. House is dark with a dim glow pouring from the laptop on dining table. Camilla is sitting there, clenching a tissue in her fist.“Camilla?” She closes the laptop and straightens her back.“Took you a while…” she asks in a strange voice.“Yea,” I reply, my eyes searching her face. She seems somewhere between upset and composed.“I

Victor glued to the couch, startled. “About time,” I say as he gets up and takes a run towards the door.Raylan blocks his way, pushing him back inside.“Wh- What do you want this time?” Victor asks as Raylan nudges him one more time as he stumbles onto the carpet.“Camilla told me about your polite comment a few hours ago,” I sneer at him. “We were curious what it meant.”After my meeting with Jacob and Natalie, I got an interesting call from Camilla and I took flight back here immediately. Since the website Jacob told me about is inaccessible, I am hoping to find some answers here. “I-I meant no offense.”The door knocks and Camilla’s voice comes through. “Are you guys in there?” Raylan lets her in and her eyes widen, seeing Victor. “Where the fuck are your clothes?” Then she frowns, her eyes searching for something. “

Party of sorts - 2. - . Riley . - .I had asked West last night if he had contacted anyone, but he didn’t spit out a word either.“Why are you here, Tank? Do you need something?” Scar says as before I can ask Tank anything.“A blow job,” he says with a twinkle in his eyes. I know he is talking to Scarlet, but his fixed gaze at me pisses me off beyond no explanation.“Try that and I will bite it off. Then maybe shove it in your mouth,” I grit through my teeth.His face contorts with anger as he strides towards me. Scarlett rushes between us, creating a barrier while my fingers twitch to grab the knife on the counter behind me.“West won’t be happy if you create a mess in here.”“He isn’t my fuckin boss.” He snarls.“Even others won’t be happy. This is an important meeting, Tank. Please… Calm down.”With a jerk, he grabs Scarlet’s hand and backs away. “Join us for the party or die in the kitchen, but you cannot leave this area until the party is over.”“I was looking forward to attend
