Jack's P.O.V "Seriously Amber ?" I question, growing annoyed by her reasoning. "Why do you love her? How can you love her?" She asks as tears stream down her face, staining her cheeks. I try my absolute hardest to not burst out laughing at her current state. Seriously? She’s acting like this because she thinks I actually love that bitch? "How does me loving her affect you in any way?" I ask, questioning her further in efforts to get her to confess how she really feels. Honestly, I knew exactly why this hurt her. She has feelings for me, and having me 'love' someone else hurt her. Just like I wanted it to. But I want to hear her say those things. "Never mind Jack, you're not going to understand." She slurs, sounding defeated as she moves her body to where she is facing the window so that I can no longer see her expressions. I sigh deeply before focusing on the road, not wanting to push any further. I know I wanted to h
Amber's P.O.V{Next Day} I wake up with the most nerve-wracking headache, causing me to groan out in pain as the light from the outside seeps in through my shutters. "Amber!" I hear Jack yell as he bursts into my room. “Do you not hear everyone calling you? Or your fucking phone ring?” He asks as he goes over to my window before opening the door to my shutters, inviting the sunlight. I squint my eyes shut as the bright lights burn my retinas, causing me to pull my blanket over my head. “Seriously, wake up. It’s six o’clock pm and you have to help with the New Year’s party that we’re throwing.” He says as he pulls my blanket away from my face, forcing me to accept that sleep is no longer an option. I sigh, growing annoyed as my sleep deprived and hammered state begins to grow stronger. “Jack. Get out of my room.” I say as I bring my hands up to my head, massaging my temples. “Maybe, i
Amber's P.O.V As I bring myself into my closet space I decide on wearing a denim skirt as well as a black body suit to go with it. After feeling satisfied with my outfit choice I settle on straightening my hair before going downstairs as I didn’t have the energy to do anything further. It’s not like anybody important is going to be here, just family from both sides I presume. As I walk down my steps the sound of the doorbell ringing catches my attention. Seeing as I was the only one downstairs at the moment I decide to answer the door. I take a few moments, preparing my smile for whichever relative is possibly waiting. But, my smile instantly fades and I immediately grow annoyed and slightly insecure as my eyes land on Madeline. "Um…may I help you?" I question, not being able to fake any kindness as I look her dead in the eyes. "Yeah, I heard you guys are having a party tonight. Jack invited me over." She smiles confidently a
Amber's P.O.V They soon pull apart and Jack's eyes are almost immediately met with my glossy and hurt ones. A tear falls from my eye as I shake my head, feeling completely disappointed and regretful for ever involving myself with Jack. I hate him, I can feel myself falling for him and I can’t even do anything to help it. I quickly break eye contact with him before rushing past the different groups of people as I try desperately to get to my room, not wanting to be in this environment a second longer. As I run my way up the stairs, I am stopped as I reach the main hallway on the second level. "Babe." A voice calls out, evoking an unknown emotion as I already know that it’s Jack. Of fucking course. I slowly lift my head to meet with his dark brown orbs, allowing him to see my tear-stained expression. "Jack, please move." I say softly as I keep my eyes low, preventing our eyes from meeting. I hate that I live with him, I
Amber's P.O.V Nathan kisses me. A kiss that doesn’t ignite my body or set my skin on fire like Jack manages to do as he trails his lips down my body with intention. Slowly, he brings his hand into the waistband of my skirt as he begins to touch my sensitivity. I can't help but wish this were Jack. "Amber, you're crying." Nathan accounts, causing him to pull away from me completely. "No, I'm fine." I insist as I go in for a kiss only to have him reject it. "Amber, what's wrong?" He asks, keeping the distance as he sits his body up and away from me on the bed. "Stop acting like you care about my feelings. I just want you to fuck me. Isn’t that what you want? Come on. I’m giving it to you." I urge, in desperate need of distraction as I climb my body back onto him, now straddling him. Nathan gives into the kiss, causing me to grow relieved as he picks my body up before standing, taking me with him. I wrap my le
Amber's P.O.V{The Next Day} I haven't spoke to Jack all day and I don't plan to any time soon. As much as it kills me, I know I need to keep my distance from him.If I ignore his presence and try to forget about us then hopefully my feelings towards him will fade. They have to.Jovana💓: I'm outside. I look down at my phone before smiling with excitement. I need to spend some time with her. She's grown to be like a sister to me and I miss her so fucking much. On my way down the stairs, I notice Jack making his way up. I immediately roll my eyes at this unfortunate timing of events as I lower my head, not wanting to make eye contact. When I’m almost successfully down the stairs I am stopped as Jack stands directly in front of me, having me run directly into his tone, firm chest. "Are you trying to avoid me?" Jack asks as he gently grabs my face, forcing our eyes to meet. I immediately groan in annoyance, rolling
Amber's P.O.V Cam looks down at me with lust-filled eyes as he slowly begins to enclose the space between us. "Wanna know something?" His low voice questions as he brings his body in front of mine, standing only inches away. I slowly nod my head, biting my lips as I try to ignore the growing hunger for him building inside me. "I think that you would look a lot prettier bent over this counter with my name in your mouth." He says, looking down at me with an earnest expression as he runs his fingertips against my skin. "Mmm, really?" I question, feeling goosebumps form as I flutter my lashes up at him. Without saying anything, then turns my entire body around so that my back was now facing him. "Is that what you want?" He asks as he presses my body down, causing me to hover over the counter as I arch my back at him. "Yes." I whine, pressing my legs together as the building pressur
Jack's P.O.V "You already have me." She whispers softly, barely being audible as she keeps her face buried into my chest. I feel a warm feeling come over me, one that I couldn’t make out… but I know that I don’t want to let her go. I want to keep her here, next to me. But, it’s better if I don’t.I know that I can never actually have her.I'll never be her's and she'll never be mine. "Amber, as bad as I actually want you… it can never happen." I sigh. "What do you mean?" She questions, sounding confused as she breaks free from my grasp. "You're my step-sister." I say, stating the obvious reason. "And?" She says, her voice cracking in the process. "We can fuck. But we can't be anything serious, it wouldn't look right." I say, looking down at her as I study her reaction. "Well isn't that how we got into this situation in the first place by us... doing that. That’s what made our feeling
Jack’s P.O.V Smoke flies throughout the dark and rotted room as we ascend from the safe, having our vision be momentarily blinded. I quickly turn off my flashlight before switching on the laser sight to my gun as we cautiously go to make our escape. As we maneuver our way throughout the burnt structure the loud sound of bullets flying seems to cease, allowing the space to grow eerily silent. The addictive feeling of adrenaline rushing through my bloodstream sends my senses into a heightened state as Zac and I continue to sweep each space in which we walk into. “Rocco, copi?” Zac whispers into the radio attached to his vest as we bring ourselves into a secluded area of the barely standing estate.(Rocco, do you copy?) Static fills the space, having us both curse silently as Rocco was our emergency escape plan. Zac releases a frustrated breath of air as he turns his radio off once again, having him go to raise his gun in the process. As Zac
Jack's P.O.V "I swear I'm going to slit Luca's fucking throat if there's nothing here." Zac spits, as he shuffles in his seat, seemingly tense. I look outside my passengers side window at the dark plot of land, seeing the semi burnt and demolished property. Zac cracks his neck, trying to cope with all of the adrenaline pumping through his bloodstream as he continues to eye down the abandoned estate. "Did he ever say who sent him to collect information?" I question out. Before Zac can answer he is interrupted by the sound of his radio going off, allowing us to hear the static voice of his family's men on the other side. "Clear." Zac immediately takes action, having him quickly jump out of the car with angry footsteps as I go to reload my gun. I quickly hop out of the SUV before going to stand beside Zac, mimicking his pace. "He gave me a fake name. I looked into them, they don't ex
Gianna's P.O.V I sit in complete boredom as I stare down at the professor as she continues her long summoner about physics, no longer finding interest in her words. My eyes slowly find their way over to the empty seat beside me, having a sense of sadness fill my being as I look over at where Amber once used to sit. I feel like such a failure. The sound of the professor dismissing the class snaps me out of my thoughts, having me quickly go to collect my belongings before exiting the classroom. As I make my way through the crowded halls I decide to pull out my phone in order to text Heidi. Queen Heidi👑🥰To Queen Heidi👑🥰: Hey babes! Can I come over? I need to talk to you. Not delivered Frustration immediately wells its way into my chest as I watch my text fail to send due to its lack of service. What the fuck?!!!Why are all of my texts and calls still not going through?
Amber's P.O.V My eyes slowly open to reveal the same godforsaken cell that I've been kept in for what feels like weeks now. It's always the same. Wake up, cry, eat, sleep, repeat.It never changes. A part of me is grateful that I've been placed here because I no longer have to deal with the nonsense of the guards or any of these psychopathic people. But the other part of me is petrified as I know that I'm just here to await my inevitable demise. Slowly, I sit myself up against the hard mattress, feeling my entire body ache as I go to rub my stomach that was now holding my unborn child. A small tear begins to form as I continue to think about all of the terrible outcomes that will take place once I give birth. "I'm so sorry I can't protect you." I whisper to myself, hoping that my child would miraculously be able to hear me. "Mommy loves you very much. Don't ever forget that." I cry, feeling myself become overtaken with e
Giannas P.O.VThe bright sunlight spills into our hotel suite, causing me to slowly awaken. My eyes flutter open, having me look across the room to see that the other queen sized bed was empty and no longer being occupied by Jovana's sleeping form. I slowly rise from my spot on the bed before bringing myself into the living room area of this huge suite. As I walk over to the sofa, I notice Jovana already seated as she scrolls through different shows to watch on the huge flat screen tv. "Goodmorning." I greet as I sit myself down on the opposite end of the couch. "Finally, you're awake!" She says as she turns the tv off, now giving up on what to watch. "I was thinking that maybe we should visit that beach club that our Uber driver from yesterday was talking about. I looked up the empress hotel and their parties look out of this world." She says somewhat excitedly. I nod my head at her words having me look down at m
VDA: These are not real nightclubs in Las Vegas.Gianna's P.O.V "Please fasten your seatbelts. We will begin our descend shortly and welcome to fabulous Las Vegas." The flight attendant says over the loud intercom. A small wave of excitement begins to overtake me as I secure myself within my designated seat.I'm going to find you Amber.No matter what it takes. "Fucking finally! I feel like we've been on this plane forever now!" Heidi whines, causing me to roll my eyes at her dramatics. "It's only been an hour." Jovana states before I have the opportunity to do so myself. "An hour too long. I'd much rather have flown first class." Heidi continues to complain as the plane begins to slowly lose its altitude. "Heidi, we already went over this. If we fly first class then we-" I start to begin before being cut off. "Then we risk being caught by my fath
A Few Hours Later Amber's P.O.V I sit on the hard bed springs for what felt like hours, having hot tears burn my cheeks as I continue to stare blankly at the other side of the room. Why am I here? How long will they keep me here? Why would Jack let this happen to me? Why is this happening to me? Does he actually enjoy having me here? Will Toro actually help me get out of this place? Will I ever get my freedom back? If I never would've went to that party , would this still be happening to me? If I would've listened to Jovana and stayed home that night, would I still be here? Would everything be different if I never would've went to the police? Would I still be here if I never would've missed Jack ? I hate myself. How did I end up in this situation? How will I get out of this situation? I bring my hands up to my forehead, feeling the heavy chains on my wrist as I attempt to massage out the feverish headache in which I was feeling. Harsh hiccups rack my
Amber's P.O.V An involuntary yelp escapes me as Toro's rough hands wrap around my arm. He pulls my body to his side rather aggressively before bringing me towards the only door in this cursed room. My body continues to tremble as he leads me down the narrow halls; having more tears blur my vision as thoughts about what I just witnessed continue to cloud my mind. "Please just let me go! I-I p-promise I don't know a-anything! I told Zac everything I know! Please... you have to b-believe me." I say, begging with the man for dear life as he continues to take me to the unknown. Toro says nothing in response, not even sparing me a single glance as he continue to drag me down the hall towards the elevator in which I originally came from. Uncontrollable sobs continue to escape me as images of Violets blood spilling into the carpet continue to haunt me.I can't believe she's dead. I can't believe Zac just killed her right in front of me
Gianna's P.O.V It's been nearly two months since ambers disappearance and no one seems to know anything. The police have been absolutely no fucking help in this and Xion claims to not have any information that could possibly help me find her. I just don't understand how this could've happened. I've searched the entire internet for information on Zac and his family but I can never find anything useful.The internet makes it seem as if his family are charitable saints that own legitimate businesses and donate to children's hospitals. It's all bullshit! A loud groan escapes my lips as I slam my computer shut in frustration. I push my body off of my bed's frame before going over to my purse and quickly retrieving my dab pen. I inhale a deep breath of smoke before exhaling and releasing all of the built up tension within me. As I stand in the corner of the space my eyes wander over to ambers old side of the room, making me think back to the conversation
