The gush of anger and hatred that engulfed me at the thought of Thornton's involvement was enough to drive me to the edge of sanity.

I clenched my fists, my mind raced. But one thing was certain - I would not back down. I would find a way to save her and still protect my company, no matter what it took.

I walked away from Victor's club, quickly pulling out my phone and dialing my driver's number. "Hey, I need you to bring the car around. I'm a block away from Victor's club."

"Right away, sir," he replied.

I had purposely asked him to park a few blocks away, out of sight, so I could make a discreet entrance and exit. I didn't want to draw attention to myself, especially since I was trying to keep a low profile, you never know who's trailing you.

I walked quickly, my eyes scanning the streets until I saw the familiar sleek black car pulling up beside me. My driver jumped out to open the door, and I slid into the backseat.

"Where to, sir?" He asked, his eyes meeting mine in the rearview

    QUINN'S POV I've quite lost count of the days. Time feels so endless in this dark, cramped space, it's as though I've been trapped here for like an eternity, with no escape in sight.My mind is foggy, but I remember how my life used to be before this. Bryan, Eva, the shared laughter, and tears... it all feels so far away now. Things that I casually took for granted are what I desperately pray to have the chance to experience again.The only person I've seen since I've been here is him. My captor. He's always masked, always gloved. I've never seen his face, but his eyes... they're laced into my memory forever.He's been treating me... differently. Sometimes he's gentle, almost kind. Other times, he's cruel, taunting me with hints of freedom and snatching it away before I even grasp it.I tried to escape once. I waited until he was distracted, then made a run for the door. But it was locked, and he caught me easily. The punishment I received was... severe and my back still aches.I've l

    I stared at the document in my hand, my eyes widening in shock. "Jasper Brown" was typed clearly on the signature line."Jasper?" I gasped aloud, my voice echoing through the warehouse."Yes?" I heard the sound of footsteps, followed by over six men who were walking towards me. Jasper was in the middle, a smug grin spreading across his face.Without thinking, I quickly lunged at him, but was held back by the masked man. "You scumbag!" I shouted. "How could you be the one behind all this?"Jasper chuckled. "Slow down, Bryan. You look like you're about to have a heart attack. Give him some water," he urged, nodding to one of his men.I scoffed. "You're sick, Jasper. I thought you claimed to love her?"He mimicked me, taunting. "I did? I don't have any business with your love life, Bryan. My only business is with you." He stressed my name, his expression changing from mocking to serious.I was stunned, standing there just staring at him. Jasper laughed, clearly enjoying himself. "You're

    QUINN'S POVThe drive home was a quiet one. The moment Bryan stopped in front of my house, I quickly got out of his car, hurrying towards the door. I rang the bell repeatedly, knowing Eva would be annoyed by the late-night disturbance, but I didn't care.When she opened the door and saw me, her smeared expression of anger and irritation quickly changed to a broad smile as she swiftly enveloped me in a warm hug."Don't let him in," I whispered urgently, breaking free from her embrace and stepping inside.Bryan kept calling out to me behind me, but I refused to acknowledge him. I trusted Eva to handle the situation, so I collapsed onto the sofa. Overwhelmed with my emotions, I let the tears flow. Eva swiftly shut the door behind me. I could hear her consistently tell Bryan, "You need to leave. Now."I didn't hear his response, but Eva's firm tone made no room for argument. She turned her attention to me with concern written all over her."Quinn, oh my god, what happened?" she asked, ru

    JASPER'S POVI couldn't help but jubilate as I sat in my office, the thought of my newfound power clouding my image. Bryan had just handed over the companies to me, and it was almost laughable at how easy it was. I had expected a fight, some resistance, but in the end, it was just a mere formal agreement.Quinn, oh Quinn. She was a peculiar one, I scoffed. Indeed, a woman has power, always so caught up in her own little world. I can't believe I played her this long, and she never even suspected a thing. Her obliviousness was nearly unbelievable - she had no idea of the danger she was in.Crazy girl who thinks everyone loves her.But I took care of that. I remember the night I spiked her drink, watching as she succumbed to the sedative. She talked herself to sleep immediately after the intense make-out, unaware that I had plans to bind her. And then, to cover my tracks, her phone wouldn't stop ringing. I picked up the next call, listening to her best friend's frantic worries and pleas

So I stayed in bed, surrounded by the solace of my bedroom.But this morning, the reality dawned on me. I had a meeting scheduled, and I knew I couldn't avoid it any longer. I remember slowly getting out of bed, despite the heaviness my body felt. I adjusted my tie for almost the hundredth time, which felt like it was choking me, and took a deep breath.The meeting I had scheduled was about to start in ten minutes, and I could feel the anxiety building up inside me. I took another deep breath, trying to calm myself down.Just as I was about to head out, my office door swung open. "Son of a bitch." I muttered under my breath.

    BRYAN'S POVI lounged on my couch, crunching on a crispy snack, when my attention drifted to the TV screen that flickered with breaking news.

The investigation carried on by a journalist, spanning several months, has uncovered a complex web of illicit activities involving some of the city's most influential figures."The anchor's words hung in the air, as the screen behind her displayed a mugshot of Jasper, his usual smirk being replaced by a scowl followed by blurry footage and photos from the club, taken by the undercover photographer.

    Then, we both spoke at once."I think—" he started."You should—" I began.We both stopped, realizing we had spoken simultaneously. He smiled wryly. "You go first."I shook my head. "No, I think it's best I listen. Mine will come in later."His stares were becoming intense, so I lowered my gaze, unsure of what to say. He took a step closer, his eyes never leaving mine. I felt this pile up of emotions as he drew nearer.Without thinking, I reached out, taking his hand, feeling the spark of connection in my heart's pulse. Bryan managed to give my hand a gentle squeeze."My lawyer was able to recover my companies from Jasper," he announced. "Unfortunately, Jasper didn't put up a fight."I looked up at him. "That's good news, Bry."He nodded. "Yes, and I've also placed the companies in the hands of one of my trusted shareholders. He'll take care of them."I felt this sadness, knowing he wouldn't be there to oversee his business empire anymore. "How long will you be here?" I asked abruptly,

    QUINN'S POVThe ride home was very quiet, the most reserved ride I’ve ever had. I couldn’t hear a dime. I might have been present, but everything about my spirit, soul and body was absent.It hurts so much that I blame myself for being so hard on him all this while. The times he’d drop gifts and letters at my doorstep consistently every day. It might not have been a great ride, but Bryan loved me more than anyone else in this world would have. No words, no whimpering, just my eyes flowing with unending tears. “Quinn, you need to stop crying,” Eva advised, breaking the silence.But I couldn't. "I will never get over this pain I’m feeling" I confessed. “He’s all that I have.”“Now I feel bad that you never acknowledged me. I’ve been with you through what? Thick and thin and Bryan’s all you have?” Her words struck me and I could feel the pain in her voice.“I’m sorry Eva, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that…."

    -----------------"Whose child?" Quinn pressed, her brow furrowed in confusion.Thornton hesitated before speaking. "Your father, Sutherland, had a romantic affair with his second cousin, which resulted in your birth."Quinn and I gasped in unison. "What?" we exclaimed, shock and disbelief laced on our faces.Thornton continued, his voice filled with sadness. "He did marry your mother, despite the families being against them. I suppose it's because he loved her. I found out about their relationship because my first wife was a friend of your mother's."Officer Maddie's eyes widened in surprise. "What in heaven's name is going on here?" she asked, her voice firm, but I could tell she was confused.Thornton's expression turned cold. "When I threatened to expose Sutherland's secret if he dared to speak a word about Braxton's murder, he was terrified. He feared for his reputation and kept quiet all these years."Quinn's face twisted in anger and hurt. "His reputation? That's all he cared ab

    BRYAN'S POVWe walked into the police station, hand in hand, with Eva following close behind. "Excuse me," I said to one of the officers, "we'd like to speak with the officer in charge of Jasper Brown's investigation."The officer looked at us, obviously recognizing me, and asked us to wait. He stepped away for a minute before returning to escort us to a private room.Eva opted to wait outside, so we left her in the lobby. Inside the room, we met a lady who looked barely above middle age. "Hi, I'm Bryan Braxton, and this is _"Quinn Sutherland." She continued."We have information about Jasper Brown and his accomplice, Mr. Thornton that we would love to share with you."The officer, whose name tag read "Officer Maddie," looked at us with interest. "What kind of information?" she asked.We stared at each other and I spoke up. "We would like to be recorded."Officer Maddie nodded. "I see. Well, we've had Mr. Brown in custody, and we could use any additional information you can provide.

    QUINN'S POVEva and I were still reeling from the shock of Matt's betrayal, lost in our own thoughts, when the doorbell rang again. I let out a frustrated sigh and made my way to the front door angrily."I thought I asked you to leave, Matt!" I yelled, but my voice trailed off as I took in the figure standing before me. It was Bryan."Matt?" he repeated, his brow furrowed in confusion. "Matt was here?"I nodded silently, still trying to process the sudden change in events. As I gazed at Bryan, I couldn't help but notice how worn out he looked. His eyes seemed sunken, and his face was laced with deep lines. This wasn't the stern, looking Bryan I had grown accustomed to; this was the Bryan I remembered from my childhood.I gulped down the huge form of saliva in my mouth. It took everything in me to not jump on him right now and hug him so tightly. I missed him so much. Bryan's eyes scanned me from head to toe, taking in my almost invisible baby bump. I felt a flutter in my chest as our

    QUINN'S POVEva's voice broke the silence. "Did you know Jasper was involved in such terrible things?"I paused, thinking back to the times Jasper and I spent together. He had been so charming and perfect, leaving no hints about his dark secrets.I shook my head, "I had no idea," I replied. "He seemed like the perfect gentleman."Eva nodded in approval. "Exactly! That's what makes it so scary. He is so good at hiding his true nature. However, when he spiked your drink and food, that was a sign of a drug dealer. Trying to force himself on you was also a sign of a rapist. I'm glad you had nothing to do with him in the end. I can't imagine _"I felt a shiver run down my spine as I remembered that night. "I did sleep with him," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper cutting her short.Eva's eyes widened in shock. "Are you saying...," she gasped, "Is he the father of your baby?" she asked, her voice trembling.I quickly shook my head. "No, no, it's not that. It's just that... I don't r
