Just as soon as I thought it couldn't get worse than my bloodied and bruised aching body that stabbed me with each breath, my mind swirl with a mix of pain and confusion, unable to comprehend what my eyes make me see. The situation becoming even more dreadful. It has been years since I last saw her. I shut my eyes opening them again stop my mind from playing tricks ons me. This is not the time to start hallusinating, but she doesn't go away... The woman that stand before me, the woman I once knew and loved. The room was silent, except for my labored breathing, she doesn't say anything, she walks deeper into the room, silently and slowly taking each stride. Her green eyes filled with rage, sadness, and a strange longing. She has aged gracefully, her face lined with the pain she endured over the years, the same pain that is twisting her expression now. She stop a few feet away from me, her eyes locking onto my battered face."Surprised to see me?"." She questions her tone laced with raw

"Ben!" Mia's voice rip me from my slumber and there she was standing in front of me dressed in one of her summer dresses, her hair falling over her shoulders in waves to her perfect waist. My Mia, the angel that saved me from myself and gave me everything that I didn't even know I needed. "What are you waiting for?" She smiles her lips strecthing accros her flawless face. "Come on." She moves her arm in a calling manner and without any hesitation I try to stand up, but my arms and legs doesn't let me move. I am still tied to the fucking chair and when I look back up she is gone. Dissappeared into thin air. "What are you looking at?" My tormentor spit just before he slam his face into the side of my ribs and the crackling sound of one of my ribs breaking pears through the air. "I bet that hurt." His laughter echoes of the walls. "I am going to ask you this one last time and if you do not answer me honestly then I will have to start getting creative." He promise. "Where do you keep the

"If getting my attention is the main focus of this excercise then you have made your point. You have my undevided fucking attention." I declare helplessly and tired of the constant taste of iron covering the inside of my mouth. As long as I am bound to this chair, I am not searching for Mia, which means that Achille and my whole fucking security team is now deviding their attention between searching for Mia and searching for me. And if there is anything worse than me getting beaten the shit out, it is me knowing that Mia is still out there somewhere, alone, unresponsible and hurting. "That is what you say, Graz, but you forget that I know you and that is exactly why I know for a fact that I do not have your full attention." She drag her forefinger from my shoulder, over my chest and up my collarbone towards my other shoulder. "Who has ownership of your thoughts?" "My business is on hold while everyone that is suppose to run it is now out there wasting prescious time looking for me."

"Ben?" The hurt in Mia's voice were clear, unable to miss as she catches me by surprize, causing me to freeze in disbelief. What the fuck was she doing here? I lift my head to face her and the time seem to stand still as our eyes lock. Feelings of anger making theri way through to the surface and confusion clouding my mind as I move my gaze to Clarisse who stares at her and then at me. was this a mere coincidence or something more? "Are you okay?" Mia darts towards me, but the two men at her sides quickly make work of grabbing her by her arms, pulling her back into their hold. "Let go of me!" She shouts, anxiously. "Let go!" She cries, her body pulling and kicking harshly as she fight their hold on her. "I am fine." I assure her. "Just a little bruised." I nod trying to convince her. "Just as I tought." Clarisse shake her head beside me. "I knew I cannot trust you." She spew nodding her head to the other men surrounding us and immediately they head towards me. I wanted to fight them,

Even tough the room was barely lit in the very musty and abandoned place I knew that we needed to get out of here, because they were planning on killing us anyway and we couldn't just let them kill us without atleast putting up a good fight and the time have come for us to devise good a plan to escape the clutches of this desolate place. We couldn't wait any longer, as each passing minute brought us closer to death. I have had the opportunity to explore the nooks and crannies of the warehouse, mapping out every possible exit and potential obstacles earlier on when I was making my way out of here with Clarisse, but my determination to protect Mia is much more fierce and I needed to do it right this time. No, surprises! "Mia." I whisper under my breath, while I assesses my surroundings from wherw I hang tide to a beam. My scroll over the beam noticing a sharp screw like object on the back side of the beam, not to far away from me, but I was going to get closer to it for me to free my han

I flick the light switch on when I enter the lonely and empty kitchen, but quickly filling it with tension and worry. Adding my brother to the mix as he follows me inside. My arm is drenched with a blood from where the knife met my skin and apparently my visible pain. "Just sit down for a moment and calm down, brother. Your ribs are obviously killing you when you move too much and, pacing up and down isn't helping you or her." Achille tries to force me to relax, I guess, but how was I suppose to when my mind is consumed by concern for Mia."I can't just sit here, Achille! She could be seriously hurt. I need to know she's okay." I continue to walk up and down the length of the kitchen."Ben, listen to me." He grab me by my shoulders making me twitch as the pain stab through my arm, but he doesn't withdraw his touch. "I know, but you are injured too and you need to take a breath. Worrying like this won't help either of you. Let the doctor check Mia first, then we'll know the extent of he

I wake up to the sound of rain gently tapping against the bedroom window as I stretch and yawn, before turning to my side only to find Mia still peacefully asleep blnext to me and I couldn't help the smile forming on my face as I admire her relaxed expression. Due to the gloomy weather I think that it will be the perfect day to stay indoors, in bed, and just enjoy each other's company. I gently brush Mia's hair away from her face, planting a soft kiss on her forehead before getting out of bed and head to the kitchen to make us some coffee."Ciao." A happy Madelaine answers the phone after two rings."Good morning to you too, figlia." A genuine smile cover my face while I through some sugar into a mug. I haven't spoken to Madelaine in a while and I just wanted to know if she was doing okay. "How are you doing?""I am great! I made so many friends and I am killing it in my classes, if I do as so myself." She giggles. This was exactly what I needed. "How are you doing? Still saving the w

This is afterall what we talked about doing before all the shit came raining down on our heads. But there was one more thing to do I remember when I take another turn getting closer to the house.

As the soft dawn hues brush against the horizon, I find myself drawn to the kitchen, seeking solace in the familiar routine of making coffee. The previous night has been filled with turmoil, grief, and unexpected moments of connection, leaving me yearning for a moment of calm amidst the storm. As I enter the kitchen, a gentle hush settle over the house, permeating the air with a serenity that seems to hug me in its embrace. I glance around the spotless space, as if the remnants of the chaos from the previous night have been meticulously tidied away or never happened. Achille, the steadfast and caring presence in my life, has made sure that everything is in order before he departed. Job well done. A faint smile curve on my lips as I prepare the coffee, the rich aroma soon filling the kitchen. The rhythmic sounds of the brewing process echoe in the stillness, a gentle symphony that complement the emerging sunlight that starts to flood the room and just as I finish pouring the coffee int

Rather than attempt to keep my burning need for her under control like I know I should or at least to a middle-of-the-roader, I submit myself to it, rather encourage it to be be completely truthful. There is slight gentleness to none left in the kiss we share, but a clear discretion to conquer. My lips press hard against Mia's.My internal struggle, whether to turn her around and fuck her hard, force myself to be gentle with her or push her away is utterly hopeless.I walk her towards the bedroom wall drawing power from her quick and ineffective breaths that clearly indicates how much she wants this. Wants me! I slightly push her away from me, needing to look at her. To make sure she wants this, we stare at one another, both of us taking deep, erratic breaths. Where onetime there was remoteness there is now pain. I yank her from the wall and press her backwards onto the bed before I come out and tear the straps of her shirt, revealing her perfect breasts. She slightly move a way fro

The air droop heavy with despair as my hands rhythmically apply chest compressions to Clarisse's lifeless body. The room is loaded with an eerie silence, broken only by the sound of desperate breaths escaping my lips. I have given everything I have, pouring every ounce of strength into trying to breathe life back into Clarisse when suddenly, something shifts within me. A dreadful realization washes over me, casting a dark shadow upon my trembling heart. I glance at Clarisse's face, her vacant eyes, searching for a glimmer of hope that I know deep down had faded away. It is in this very moment that time seems to stand still for me and a chill crawl up my spine, a heaviness settling in my chest. The room around me becoming a mere backdrop to the overwhelming grief that consume my entire being. The world continue its chaotic dance, yet I feel completely detached from it all and with a shaking hand, I gently press my fingers against Clarisse's motionless wrist. No pulse. No warmth. Only a

The room fall into an eerie silence as Isabelle stand dead quiet, her eyes widened in shock. In her trembling hands, she is holding a gun, aimed directly at me. The weight of the moment drooping heavily in the air, as if time has frozen, and the mere act of breathing seems impossible. Mia's heart pounds loudly in her chest synchronize with mine as the fear for both me and herself course through my veins. In a split second, my instincts kick in and I knew I needed to protect Mia, no matter the cost. With a swift motion, I push her behind me, shielding her from the danger that loom before us. Mia fight against my protective grip, desperate to stand in front of me, to get between her mother and the man she loves."Mama, please, don't do this!" Mia's voice quivere with a mix of fear and desperation. She reach out, tears streaming down her face, longing to connect with her mother's humanity. But I stand firm, my eyes crammed with a combination of judgement and despair. I cannot let Mia ste

Achille's entrance is abrupt, catching me off guard as I release Maya from her pain. My eyes meet Achille's, and in this brief moment, we share an unspoken understanding. Achille approach me, his steps echoing in the room as his gaze never leave Maya's lifeless body lying on the bed. Without a word, Achille places a supportive hand on my shoulder, offering me both physical and emotional strength. We stand side by side, when I break the silence. "She looks so much like Mia, doesn't she?" My voice is filled with a blend of sorrow and recollection, reminding me of the parallel journey we had all been on and he nods, agreeingly, my eyes briefly dart towards him, before returning to the bed where Maya lies."Yes, Ben, she does. Seeing her like this stirs unwanted feelings of Mia, and how she suffered. But Mia is safe now, with Tomasso," he whisper, desperately clinging to the image of hope. Our shared connection deepen as Achille squeezes my shoulder, silently conveying my support and unde

Me, Achille, and Tomasso stand in the concealment of the nearby woods, our breaths masked by the rhythmic rustle of leaves. The time has come to execute our plan to infiltrate the estate where Mia is being held captive. We anxiously watch as my security team move stealthily towards the imposing gates. With the team's well-honed expertise, they approach the perimeter of the estate. Their mission is to disable the security cameras, rendering the enemy blind and creating a clear path for me and my allies to enter undetected. It is a critical moment, one that requires precision and agility.As we approach, the security team divide into smaller groups, each assigned to different sections of the estate's electronic surveillance system. They move swiftly, their movements synchronized like a well-rehearsed dance. Carefully avoiding any motion sensors, they expertly disable the cameras one by one, their actions seamless and silent, while me, Achille, and Tomasso remain still, our hearts poundi

I storm out of Dr. Reynolds' office, my face twisted with anger as I yank open the car door and slam myself inside. Achille, sitting behind the wheel, I imagine, notices my intense demeanorand bracing himself for what's to come. Tomasso, sitting in the backseat, is all too eager to join in the action. "Achille, get everyone ready. We're going on a saving mission. We're bringing Mia home, no matter what it takes." I order my voice mirroring my anger and Achille accustomed to my strong-willed nature, nods with unwavering determination."Understood, Brother. I'll assemble the team right away. We're with you, every step of the way." He nod as he starts to scroll across the screen sending our a broadcast message.Tomasso, unable to contain his excitement, chimes in with a hint of humor and an enormous grin on his face. "Finally, a real adventure! I've been waiting for this moment, Ben. Ready to rescue damsels in distress!"Achille chuckles, realizing the gravity of the situation yet apprec

Achille appears to be very frustrated and determined as he takes a step closer to me as I take in a deep breath in an attempt to get my breathing under control. "Ben, listen. I phoned Manfredio. I had to try to reach Mia, to know if she's safe. But he denied my attempts, he wouldn't let me see her." "Are you out of your fucking mind, Achille? What were you thinking? You've put Mia in danger by contacting Manfredio! How could you do something so reckless?" Anger burst through me and my voice rise as a result. "I know, Ben! I know I took a risk by reaching out to Manfredio. But I had to try! We've exhausted all our options, and I couldn't just sit back and do nothing while Mia is missing." Achilles tries to defend himself taking in a deep breath as he acknowledges my anger."Did he say anything? Is Mia okay?" I question him hopefully. "No, Ben. He didn't say a word about Mia's well-being. But I'm telling you this now so that you know Manfredio might be expecting you. When you do deci

I stand in the crowded and vibrant nightclub's kitchen, music booming in the background when I take out my phone and dials Achille's number. "Ciao, brother. What's up? Why are you calling me when you know it is time for my novela and what is that noise in the background?" His voice ring into the phone laced with some humor. "Brother, you won't believe it, man. I'm at the club, and something incredible has happened. I need your help, and I have some new information to share with you regarding Mia.""Woah, slow down, Ben." He interject. "Take a deep breath and start from the beginning. What happened and are you okay? You sound... Different." Even over the phone Achille notices that I am not one hundred percent completely myself."I can't explain it, Achille. I'm not feeling like myself tonight. It's... It's something I cannot explain." I lie, and poorly at it too."You don't say?" I can hear the judgment in his voice, maybe mixed with some concern. "That's...unexpected. Are you sure ev
