VALERIAEveryday it was the same; the steady, monotonous drip drip drip of water leaking somewhere. Most times, the sound haunted me in my dreams. It was all I could usually hear in the silence of this place. I had cried so much that it now seemed as if my tears had dried up. The worst thing about being kidnapped, placed in an underground room and chained to the wall like a dog was the silence. There was no one to talk to, no sounds at all except the sounds I made on the occasions that I cried. I had not even been told why I was here.In this hellhole, there was no way of knowing night from day. All hours of the day looked the same. Although judging by the long, long hours I had spent here, I figured I had been kidnapped for days already. Exactly how many days I had no way of knowing.And then I thought of Dimitri. The thought of him brought fresh tears to my eyes. I wondered how he was faring now. No doubt he would be worried sick about me and our baby. Maybe he would think I had r

VALERIAI came to myself a while later. I didn't know how long I had been out. My brain felt fuzzy. My stomach hurt and my mind still reeled from the deviousness of Grace's plan. There was a miserable, hollow feeling in my chest as I slowly sat up. I could not see any other way of getting out of this situation.The tips of my toes touched something hard and unyielding, something that did not feel at all like the texture of the plates used to give me food. Curious as to what this was, I put out a hand, ignoring the feel of the chains cutting into my wrists, and groped for the object. Finally, my fingers closed on something thin and rectangular, something with a screen. My throat went completely dry. The blood roared in my ears. I knew what this object could be, but was it even possible that something like that could be here? I brought the object close to my face and crowed with happiness. It was tablet! Judging by the blinking light in the top right corner, it was fully charged. Fo

DIMITRIThis phase; that is if it was a phase (I was seriously beginning to think it wasn't) had not passed yet. Valeria was still behaving as weirdly as ever, even more so. With every passing day, I saw a new facet of her character. I would have been a liar if I said her attitude wasn't giving me a cause for concern. At home and at work, it was the same thing. It was like she had gotten a whole new personality, albeit an unpleasant one. One thing I was sure of was that I had to get to the bottom of this. My work lying abandoned, I thought of ways by which I could get to know what was really going on with her. First, I had to be sure that Valeria's new attitude was not all in my head. Someone else had to confirm that Valeria had changed, that I was not just imagining things.Having come to this decision, I quickly left my office, went over to the corridor where Vance was standing guard. I gestured for him to follow me to a place where we could not be overheard. "I have a job for you

DIMITRIShe was in a good mood when I got back home. I could tell by the smile that lit up her face the moment I stepped into the room."Missed me?" I murmured."Always."She got up to take me into her arms. I tried not to be too still as I wondered if she would use this opportunity again to initiate sex. Thankfully, she didn't. She pulled me over to bed and seemed genuinely interested when she asked about my day."Something on your mind?" she asked me a while later.My fingers briefly stopped massaging her hands. There was actually something on my mind. I was still mulling over my idea of taking her to the pack. I still wasn't sure that it would be one of the solutions to the problem. But watching her watch me, I decided I had to at least try something."As a matter of fact, I do," I said. "I had an idea today. I will be spending some time at my pack for a while and I want you to come with me. I am sure a change of environment will do us both good.""I think...""You think?""That it

VALERIAJudging by the dull headache I felt, I had been asleep for a long time. I had just woken up rather abruptly. Lately, I had been doing a lot of sleeping. Who would blame me? What else was there to do in my lonely cell but to plot on how to escape if I ever had the chance, and to sleep. At least dreams brought oblivion and made me forget how miserable I was for some time.I stretched my legs, began to sit up and froze. The hairs on the back of my neck began to prickle. The room was dark as usual, but I felt instinctively that there was someone with me in the room. Someone was there, watching me. Seconds later, I was sure it was this feeling that had woken me up.I blinked rapidly, shut my eyes tightly and blinked again. Opening or shutting my eyes made no difference in the oppressive darkness of the room. I could not see a thin, just a solid wall of darkness that somehow looked more solid at a spot on my left. Or maybe that was my imagination. The feeling of being watched made m

DIMITRI"Noah."I leaned back in my chair, thankful to get a break. I had been typing away on my computer for hours nonstop."Got any new info about the Rosy project?" I asked as this was almost always the reason he called me."No," he said. "There is nothing new. I'm not calling about work. I'm calling about Valeria."I sat bolt upright. "What about her?""You see, that's the thing. I honestly don't know. For days she has been ignoring my calls and messages. I have an idea why. Is she doing okay?""Oh yes. She is at work in her office as we speak. Er- did you two have a Falling out or something like that? Maybe you upset her without knowing it"His answer was immediate and sure. "I didn't. We were fine... until we weren't. Besides, Valeria would not ignore my calls since I'm part of the Rosy project she's working on. She knows I may want to also give her information about the project."That was a very good point, I thought when he had hung up. Even if Valeria was mad at Noah for some

VALERIAI laid a gentle hand on her shoulder. She stopped what she was doing immediately and turned. It amazed even me that I was somehow able to smile at her despite the hundred different thoughts that were going through my head now and all through yesterday. Valeria (or was it Grace now?) gave me a smile and leaned into my touch.It was a few minutes past 7 on a weekday, time to head out to work, but I couldn't trust her not to want to initiate sex no matter the hour. In her book these days, nothing seemed as important as getting laid. I now had an even stronger reason not to want it."Were you looking for something?" I asked quickly before she could start getting any ideas.Her smile slowly became a slight frown. She remembered what had got her to search her handbag and half the contents of her own side of the drawer for quite a while this morning."Actually, yes. I'm looking for a folder I brought home yesterday... or at least I think I did," she added in an undertone. In a norma

DIMITRIWhile Silas and Vance expressed surprise and talked of how this situation had some to be in the first place, my head was bowed. I was deep in thought. At this point, it didn't really matter to me that the woman I had been living with was Grace. Actually, it did but it was pretty insignificant in the grander scheme or things. What I wanted to know, what I had to know, was Valeria's whereabouts.I had loved Grace. I thought I knew her and what she was capable of, but now, I really couldn't vouch for Valeria's safety if she was in Grace's hands. Perhaps the woman I had loved had hurt Valeria in some way. I didn't think Valeria had agreed to stay away from me at her own volition.I hit the table with my fist. Hard. "She has to be found!" The two men stopped talking and finally gave me their attention. "Later, we will probably be able to figure out how Grace is still alive and how she's managed this deception for so long. Now we need to find where the real Valeria is. I'm sure as h
