Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity My Escape?
Linda’s POVI felt a surge of relief wash over me as I stood on the threshold of escape, the weight of captivity lifting from my shoulder like a heavy cloak. But even as I basked in the freedom of the night, I knew that my journey was far from over. The scene was empty and all I saw that was stopping me from truly stepping into freedom was the short fencing around the place. It was something that I could climb, I was sure of it. I mean, yeah, it was strange, because where was everyone? Was this some kind of trick? Well, trick or not, I was not going to waste this opportunity. Maybe the universe was finally seeing my suffering and wanted to help me.With cautious steps and looking almost everywhere every few seconds with a turn of my head, I moved. But then I heard it, and this proved to me that this was not a dream. Dogs. They were barking loudly, the sound coming from the right side of the compound. I could not see them yet but it seemed like they had caught my scent. I started r
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Mistakes Are Punished
Linda’s POVThe dogs, sensing their purpose, began to bark even louder, their ferocious voices sending shivers down my spine. With each passing moment, the footsteps drew nearer, the sound of gravel crunching beneath their weight like a death knell. I pressed myself further against the fence harder as if it was going to make me invisible. But then, just as I felt the grip of fear tightening around my throat, a new sound cut through the chaos. It was a low, guttural growl, followed by the sounds of paws scraping against the ground. The dogs had caught my scent. My blood turned to ice as I realized that my time was running out. And just like that, they had caught me.I immediately tried climbing the fence to escape but it was too late. The dog grabbed my leg, but its bite was not deep enough to pierce my skin. It pulled to the ground and I fell hard, my body aching all over. The dogs seemed vicious and I tried to shield myself but none of them bit me.They just barked really loud a
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity A Little Surprise
Linda’s POVThe deafening sound of the gunshot reverberated through the warehouse, sending shockwaves of terror through my already shattered soul. I recoiled in horror, my heart seizing in my chest as I watched the life drain from the guard’s eyes, his body crumpling to the ground in a heap of blood and ruined dreams. My mind went numb, unable to comprehend the brutality of the scene unfolding before me. Tears blurred my vision as I struggled to process the sheer magnitude of the violence that had just happened. The other guards were shocked but they maintained their composure, not wanting to be next. Kirby stood over Ben’s lifeless body, her expression unreadable as she holstered her pistol with a casual flick of her wrist. It was as if she had just squashed a bug under her boot, it seemed like she did not care at all. Ben’s colleague who was on duty that night had his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at the grisly scene before him. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Memory Lane
Linda’s POVI adjusted my weight in the metal chair, feeling a bit numb to all the body aches I knew I had a few minutes ago before I was told about the pregnancy. I had never seen myself as pregnant before, it was something that I had not entertained. I mean, I did think of being pregnant and giving kids to Chris, but that was only a fantasy that I had created in my head.Like almost every girl or woman, we think of things like this. We have this dream, this perfect picture that we paint about how our lives will end up.Some of us would want kids in that painting, most of us. But others would not, and that was okay.But for me, I did want kids. I just thought that it would be something that Chris and I would talk about first.I thought it would be something that we would look forward to together. What if he did not want a child? Or what if he was ready for one and wanted to focus on work?And let us not forget that I was in this situation. My life has been very dark and hectic recen
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity An Unexpected Plan
Linda’s POVI was now by the wall, sitting on the wall while my back lay against it. I was invested, I wanted to know more about this complicated person. Kirby wet her lips and nodded to herself before continuing her story, “And then we finally did. I got pregnant and it felt like a miracle. In fact, it was. But things took a turn.”“But that’s life,” She whispered this part to herself, pain flashing in her eyes. “Gabriel was supposed to fly to another state for work but I learned the next day that his plane had crashed and he died.”“Wow,” I mouthed the word without actually saying it. It felt strange, because why was I feeling a bit sad for a woman this evil?Maybe that was because I had a heart.In those few seconds, I swear I thought that I saw Kirby’s eyes get teary but they soon got hard and clear as if they never were.“The baby was the only real connection I had to Gabriel except the memories in my heart for him. But long story short, I got a miscarriage,” She said, shrugging
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Where Is My Baby?
Linda’s POVAs Kirby’s voice cut through the conversation, a tense silence descended upon the room. Mr. and Mrs. Kingston turned their attention towards her, their expressions unreadable as they nodded in acknowledgment. “Yes, you can proceed,” Mr. Kingston said, his voice firm and authoritative. “We have important matters to attend to; like clearing our names,” He said as he looked directly at me. His wife remained silent, her gaze fixed on me with a mixture of curiosity and detachment. It was as if she was observing a specimen under a microscope, or a chim in a zoo. Kirby nodded in response to her boss’s directive, her expression impassive as she turned her attention to me. With deliberate movements, she approached the metal chair where I was seated, her eyes set on me. Then she chuckled. “This is going to be so much fun.” She drew close to me, and then slowly took out her pistol.“What are you doing? We don’t want her dead, Kirby,” Mrs. Kingston chirped in as she watched the sc
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Some Time To Think
Linda’s POVI waited for an answer, I needed to know. Because how could the excess of blood be explained?“Mr. and Mrs. Kingston are not doctors, they barely know the difference between me doing the procedure for an abortion and completely something else,” Kirby explained, walking towards the wall by the door and leaning her back on it.“So what did you do?” I was intrigued. Honestly, it felt like I was still bleeding, but there was not much pain down there, so I was really curious as to what she had done.“I mutilated a part of your genital area,” She confessed. “I had to do something that caused a lot of blood, or some at least.”My stomach churned at her admission, a mixture of horror and disbelief blanketing me. “You what? You mutilated me?” I whispered, still processing her words. Kirby’s expression hardened, her eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that made me shrink back instinctively. “I had to make it look convincing, Linda,” She replied, her tone devoid of emotion. “It
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Where Is My Wife?
Chris’s POVI was sitting on the couch, my heart heavy with worry and guilt. This was me. This was all my fault. If I was just going to be better, if I was going to be a better husband and would have stood up for her in front of my family, then maybe all of this was never going to happen. Depression had already set in. I was already in China, in my mansion. But it was empty. The maids were there, the guards were there, but my wife wasn’t. I had already reported her missing, I had been all over the city, trying to find her. I had checked all her favorite spots but there was no luck. I also happened to find out that my parents were released on bail. They had won the case. I honestly felt a bit good that they were at first, but after finding out that my wife was missing, I knew that it was my father’s doing. I confronted him but he played it off smoothly, he said that he had no idea and that he had never even seen Linda in person in his entire life. But he was here in China. His wif

Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity The End
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
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Gasoline
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
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Looking To A Higher Power
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
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Fate Hates Me
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
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Captured
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
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Meet Me In The Alley
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
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Uh-Oh
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
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity I Lied, Linda
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
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Trouble Will Find You
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
