Ben’s POVI stood there, after explaining everything to my dear sister. The look that she had given me when I had confessed to killing Mitch was way better than the one she was giving me now after I had finished my story. “I went to jail because of you,” She said in a hurt tone. “I was living in fear of being arrested, almost died in prison, and have been traumatized since I saw Mitch’s body!” Tears filled her eyes, and I felt awful. “I can fix it, I promise you…”***Linda Wells’ POVI scoffed, the tears that I was holding falling from my eyes freely. My heart was racing and the heaviness in my chest was worse. “You can fix this? F*ck you, Ben! Mitch is dead! And now we’re deep in the web of this mysterious Fallon lady!” I exclaimed. Gosh, my head was spinning. The Fallon lady had access to our parents! They could be killed! This was what I had been trying to avoid. This is why I was willing to follow all the rules of this mysterious person that I now know. “Linda, please…” His v
It was almost twelve in the afternoon and I was already on a plane, heading to China. What became of Fallon Knight and what did she want in exchange for helping Ben and me? She wanted our loyalty. She wanted us on her team. Therefore we signed a contract for our freedom. But is it really freedom? The contract stated that we belonged to her and had no choice but to do five things for her without hesitation. If we broke the contract, death was the punishment. And not just our deaths, but the ones of our loved ones too. For now, she did not order us to do anything. She only let us go. We also had no right or freedom to mention anything about her. Believe me, I was not myself. I felt like a totally different person when I reached China. Walking into the huge mansion and seeing Chris walk towards me almost caused me to burst into tears. But I had to hold my tears in. The plan was this, I should tell everyone who had been looking for me after my prisonbreak that I had escaped and gone
I scoffed sadly, tears filling my eyes. Oh, my gosh, what had I gotten myself into? It had not even been a day after I had arrived back home and I was already being held to the deal I had made with the devil. I cleared my throat as I wiped away the tear that had escaped my right eye. Sniffling, I asked, “What do you want me to do?” A few seconds of silence fell and then she replied, “I need you to kill Robert Carrington.” I blinked faster than normal for a few seconds before blinking normally again. “Wh…what?”“You heard me, Linda. I said I need you to kill the CEO of Eco Limited.” “I’m not a killer, I have not killed anyone in my life,” I explained, fear gripping my chest as I sat up on the bed, taking the duvet from over my body. “But you are now.” Her voice was cold and like steel. I swallowed hard, my mind feeling a bit fuzzy now. It must have been the pills kicking in, which would be rather fast. Or maybe I just had way too much going on in my head and my brain was exhauste
“Arch your back,” He commanded me as he was getting ready to have me from behind. I did the best I could but he continued, “I said arch your f*cking back!” His voice was husky and filled with pleasure. I moaned under my breath, doing what he had told me to do. I pressed on the center of my back, making my back arch even more. Then before I knew it, he slipped his hard manhood into me slowly. It hurt at first but it was the kind of pain you’d enjoy. He was careful even though I could tell that he wanted to screw my brains out already. The deeper he got, the more I could feel his hardness. Feeling him made me go stir-crazy. I started to move, going faster and faster with each second. “F*ck, Linda,” He moaned loudly as he pulled me up, his c*ck still planted in me. He pulled my back close to his chest and held my breasts as he got even more aggressive with his movement. “Chris!” I moaned, feeling like I was on top of the world. “Harder!” I edged him on, and he did exactly that. “I’
As I sat there, clicking through videos on YouTube, I felt a knot forming in my stomach. The thought of taking another person’s life weighed heavily on me. But I could not deny the reality of the situation Ben and I were now stuck in. We were now entangled in a web of manipulation and coercion, trapped by Fallon’s threats. Her very existence angered me, I wish I did not even know she walked this earth. I clicked on a documentary about the psychological effects of killing in combat. The narrator’s voice filled the room, detailing the profound changes soldiers experienced after taking lives in the line of duty. I could not help but draw parallels to our own predicament. Would I become numb to the consequences? Would guilt eat me up, or would I learn to justify my actions? Urgh! So many questions! These questions haunted me as I delved deeper into the videos, searching for answers that seemed to elude me. But despite the uncertainty that danced in my mind, one thing was clear: I h
Deep breaths. Deep breaths. I was trying my hardest to keep calm, but this guard was making it so hard. I did not know if I would be able to keep my cool for much longer. But I was going to try. “What do you mean by that? What do you mean by you can’t let me leave?” I held my hips, waiting for a response, and although I could not see my own face, I knew that a nasty expression sat on it. “I am the head of the security team and Mr. Kingston gave me straight orders about not allowing you to leave the house unless you are someone from my team.” His voice was firm and he did not break eye contact with me. I clenched my fists by my sides before glancing at the watch once more. Time was running out, I needed to leave, and now. “Well, if I might remind you, I’m Mr. Kingston’s wife, I have as much power to fire you as he does.” I glared at him. I was so close to snapping at him. “Ma’am…” He scoffed faintly. “I am not letting you leave.” I cursed under my breath. I wanted to call Chris t
A few seconds of silence passed and although I wanted to speak, I was afraid to do so. So, I kept my thoughts to myself. “Are you ready for this?” The girl with the buzz cut asked, keeping her focus on the road. We were still moving rather fast than I think we should have. I don’t think anyone was chasing us. “Jojo, will you please stop talking while I work?” The girl with the laptop finally joined the conversation, her voice deeper than her friend’s. The one who I now knew as JoJo scoffed, rolling her eyes at the back of her head. She was attractive and had very pretty eyes. “My talking is not going to stop you from working, is it?” She raised an eyebrow. I’m not going to lie, she was an impressive driver. “Just shut it.” The girl went back to typing. But Jojo did not pay any heed to her friend’s warning. “So, Linda. You know you’re going to kill a CEO, but do you know how?” The girl with the laptop groaned in frustration but did not say anything. “Um…” I dragged the word bef
Walking into the room, I gasped. Yes, I was married to a billionaire and was used to fancy and fine things but the room blew my mind. It was exquisite. I could not stop looking around. And from the expressions on the faces of the others, I could tell that they were incredibly impressed. “Okay, okay, we have work to do,” Maddy was the first to speak. She sat on the bed and took her backpack from her pack, taking her laptop from in it. When she had her machine on her lap, she dashed the bag on the floor not far from her and started typing really fast in seconds. She then suddenly stopped, noticing that we were all staring at her. She cleared her throat, directing her attention to her friend. “Um, Jojo! Don’t you think now is the best time to tell Linda about her role in all of this?” She raised an eyebrow, and then without waiting for a response, went back to work. “Oh yeah!” Jojo exclaimed. She walked towards me and led me to the other bed. There were four king-sized beds in the r
Linda’s POVWe managed to get out of the burning room, and I swear I think I got a few burns but the adrenaline drowned the pain out. We were headed out and had no idea where the exit was due to how much smoke and fire was assaulting us from almost everywhere.The pinching pain in my belly was growing and as much as I tried to brush it off, it was getting harder to do with each step that I took.Suddenly, the roof caved in and fell to the ground causing us to be separated by angry flames. I was stuck on the other side and Chris and the others were away from me.Fear filled me and I took a few careful steps away from the raging fire. “Help!” I exclaimed.“Keep calm, Linda. We will find a way to get to you, but for now, I would recommend that you keep moving.” He pointed towards the ceiling.When I looked up, I saw that the fire was eating it up, it could fall at any second. “Okay!” I said loudly, so I could be heard above all the commotion. When I turned around to start moving, I was
Linda’s POVI had never been so scared in my life, the room held a tension that I could not describe. It felt like a nightmare, a real one.It felt like I was hallucinating all of this, but deep down, I knew that I was not. This was real, and it was something that I could not escape from. “Please, think about the baby,” I begged Mr. Kingston, tears flowing from my eyes and snot running down my nose.“Did you think of the baby before you and your friends decided to f*ici up my life?” He asked, dark humor dancing in his eyes.“Light them up,” he said, walking away. In seconds he was out of the room. Kirby flashed me a sad look before her features hardened again. She then walked out, the doctor guy following her.I sniffled and then sobbed out even more. I was beginning to smell gasoline, the smell was overwhelming. Sh*t, they were going to burn us up. My vision got blurred for a few seconds before I blinked the tears away, making it clear again.The door opened and I saw Kirby and th
Linda’s POVThe call went through but after a few rings, there was no answer. My heart was thumping in my chest and more tears threatened to spill from my eyes due to fear.“You better hope she answers, we are on a tight schedule,” Kirby warned me in a hard tone. I was praying for that too. “Call her again, maybe her phone is on Do Not Disturb,” I tried to find an explanation.“Hmm,” She mumbled in response before deciding to make the call again. This time, Fallon answers on the third ring.I let out a breath that I did not know I was holding. Kirby brought the phone close to me and put it on speakerphone. “This better be important, because I’m very busy right now,” Fallon said, it sounded like she was on a busy street because I could hear the sound of cars and people being people in the background. “It is,” I replied. “Fallon, I need your help; Chris and I have been kidnapped. The like went quiet for a few seconds and then she broke the silence. “Linda?” “Yes, Fallon, please…hur
Linda’s POVBeing bound was not a nice experience, the ropes were so tight that every time I would try to move, they would pinch my skin.But I had made my decision, I wanted to come out of here alive. I wanted my baby to come out of here alive, so I was going to do everything I was told to do no matter how messed up it would be.Kirby and the guy who I thought was a doctor soon walked out of the room, leaving me with the guy who was not too far from me.I knew it was a man because of his build but I could not tell who he was. He was wearing old and ragged clothes and seemed to be unconscious because his head was bent over in a weak way.“Are you okay?” I asked, attempting to see if he was awake even though I felt he was not. There was no reply. So I sighed and then glanced around the room, looking to see if I could find a way of escape, but it seemed like the only way to get out here was through the door.There were two windows in the room but both of them had iron bars that did not
Linda’s POVThe car soon came to a stop, it had been a long ride. “Take her inside,” Kirby commanded and the Doctor did as he was asked. He opened the door and got down before gesturing that I do the same. I did not want to be hurt and did not want my baby to be hurt either so I did as he told me. I got down from the car and glanced around. It was now dark but the lights from on the property were impressively bright. Acres of land stretched from both sides that I looked at, and a huge stood not too far from me. It looked like a castle. It was stunning but it had a dark energy that caused my heart to skip a beat. I already knew who was behind this. I mean, I had my suspicions at first but they had now been confirmed. The thought of Chris entered my mind and I felt a heaviness that I could not ignore. Why did they have me tell him that I was on a street that we were miles away from? Had it been a way to get him alone so they could harm him? Oh my gosh, I did not know what I would do
Chris’s POVKidnapped? The word rang in my ear over and over, and I could barely hear a thing after she had said that. The car behind mine honked loudly and I was pulled out of my trance. “Clink Street? You said you’re being held at Clink Street?” I needed to make sure that I had heard her right. “Yes…” Her voice broke before a shudder followed shortly after. Then the call dropped. I tried to call but there was no answer. So I tried again; again and again. And with the cars honking behind me as I was parked at the traffic light, blocking their way, I knew that I had to put it all aside for only a few seconds. My mind raced as I tried to make sense of what had just happened. Lind, my wife, was kidnapped. The thought was incomprehensible, surreal. But I could not afford to dwell on it. I had to act, I had to act fast. With a deep breath, I refocused on the present. The light that was was still green, so I finally drove and ignored the road rage that I was getting as I pulled to the
Linda’s POVMy heart skipped a beat, a cold fear gripping me as I realized something was terribly wrong. Panic surged within me, but I tried to keep my voice steady. “What do you mean, you lied?” I demanded, my voice trembling despite my efforts to remain calm. Dr. Adam’s smile faded, replaced by a chilling expression that sent shivers down my spine. “You, Linda,” He said softly, his ice blue eyes locking onto mine with unsettling intensity, “You’re not going to another room as you already can tell, you’re going to a little place called ‘Pay Back’.” I immediately jumped out of the wheelchair and tried to run for my life but I fell to the hard ground. We were in the parking place, basement level. “Help!” I screamed at the top of my lungs but it was like there was not even a soul there. As I hit the ground, pain shot through my body, but fear propelled me to my feet again. Adrenaline surged through my veins as I fought to escape, but Dr. Adam was quick to react. He grabbed my arm lik
Linda’s POVI could barely speak, the pain overwhelming me as I doubled over on the bathroom floor. Every fiber of my being screamed with agony, and I feared for the safety of my unborn child. I already knew what it was, what was causing the pain. This was not my first rodeo, it was not the first time that it had happened. Aunt Maze and William rushed into the room, their expressions filled with alarm as they saw me writhing in pain. “What’s going on?” Aunt Maze exclaimed, her voice tinged with worry. I struggled to find the words amidst the agony that consumed me. “It’s the bullet…it’s moving and must be hitting one of my organs,” I managed to gasp out, tears stinging my eyes as another wave of pain washed over me. Fallon’s eyes widened with realization. “We need to get her to the hospital, now,” She said urgently, her voice plastered with panic. With her support, I managed to rise to my feet, the pain still stabbing at my abdomen with each step. Aunt Maze and William sprang int
Linda’s POVMy heart skipped a beat at the revelation, the gravity of the situation sinking in. The Kingstons had vanished without a trace, the police had no way of knowing where they were. I wanted to ask how that was even possible. But I already knew the answer to that. Power, money, and influence. They had found a way to disappear because of who they were. “What do you mean disappeared?” Chris demanded, his voice smeared with urgency. “How could a prison transport vehicle just f*cking disappear?” Sergeant Thompson’s tone remained solemn. “We are still trying to ascertain the details, but it appears to have been a deliberate act. We suspect foul play.” “Of course, there was,” I heard Fallon say under her breath before letting out a string of curses. The car we were in was more of a van and we could all fit in easily. My mind raced with so many possibilities, each one more terrifying than the last. Had all of this been orchestrated from the start? Was he planning revenge right n
