The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 115Ben’s point of viewWhen we arrive at my apartment, I open the door and let us both in, Finding it strange that she won't walk in front of me; she always walks a step behind. Even when I stand and hold the door open, she waits for me to go first, then follows behind. Her eyes are always looking down, and she hardly speaks.I find it so frustrating, but I know it's something that we will both have to work on, but not today, as today I just want to make her feel at home.She stands in the living room, with her head to the floor as I say, “I’ll go and grab you something comfy to wear. I smile as I look at her. The nurses at the hospital gave us some scrubs, and although she looks bloody adorable in them, they don't look the least bit comfortable.“Thanks”, she whispers, still without lifting her head…I head off to my bedroom, leaving Mishka in the living room. I told her to make herself comfortable, but I know for a fact when I walk back in ther
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 116Ben’s point of viewI walk Mishka to her room, I am not really tired, but I could see that she was exhausted, so I made up an excuse saying I was tired, and Mishka followed me. I leave her at her door before going to the master bedroom because I know she won't leave the living room until I doAfter a quick shower, I grab a book and lie on the bed, but I give up. Thoughts of Mishka leave me unable to concentrate as I wonder what kind of hell she’s been through. I'm so mad, obviously not at Mishka but at the monster who has done this to her. The poor girl wouldn't even eat without being told to. I want to help her so much, but knowing where to start is hard. I’ve never dealt with anything like this before.I eventually fall into a restless sleep, only to be woken in the middle of the night by a scream…I sit up, realising that it’s Mishka…she must be having a nightmare…I throw my t-shirt and shorts on as I go to her room, listening to her cry.“N
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 117Ben’s point of viewFuck! I have to get her to the safety of the bunker, and we can't afford to wait around until the morning, not now I know who’s involved,Mishka is lying in my arms, she looks as though she's about to fall asleep, and I move her hair out of her face as I whisper, “We have to get out of here, baby before Dimitri comes looking for you; she turns to look at me with wide eyes as she says,“Where will we go?”I smile at her trying to remain calm as I reply, “I have somewhere, but we need to get moving now.” I get up from the floor bringing Mishka with me as I start throwing some stuff in a duffle bag, We have to go underground, and I’m not sure how long for. Once I’ve filled the bag, I head over to the window turning the lights off. I have to ensure no one is around; it’s 3 am, and everywhere seems quiet. Now is the time to get out of here.I turn to Mishka and ask, “Is there anything you need?”She shrugs her shoulds, “No…I do
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 118Mishka’s point of viewI climb into the car as we make our way to god knows where, making sure to keep my eyes on the floor, not daring to speak.Dimitri keeps playing with my hair but says nothing. The silence scares me...I know it’s never good when Dimitri has nothing to say.We finally pull up at some fancy Mansion Dimitri steps out of the car, and I follow behind, keeping my head down as his men follow behind. When we walk into the Mansion, Dimitri turns to me and says,“How should my little Pet greet her Master when he steps into his house? I hope you have not forgotten your place already, kitty.”Fuck! I immediately drop to my knees at his feet, keeping my eyes down, and he sighs as he says,“You seem to have forgotten how to present yourself to your Master Mishka.”I quickly strip out of the clothes Ben that leant me, trying to memorise his scent before I once again drop to Dimitri’s feet, only this time I’m naked with my breasts pushed
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 119Ben’s point of viewFuck my head….I can hear someone faintly calling my name as I try to open my eyes, but everything hurts.“Ben…Jesus, man, are you okay, Buddy?”I force my eyes open as I hear my neighbour's voice.” “Tod”, I whisper as I try to lift my head from the cold floor,“Yes buddy, it’s me….What the fuck happened, man? Were you mugged? Are you okay”“Yes, I think so”, I reply as he helps me into a sitting position…I look around before I turn my attention back to him.“Where’s Mishka?” I ask, and he shakes his head and replies, “Sorry, man, are you sure you're okay? I don't know any Mishka.”“Fuck… He took her…”I whisper as I recall everything that happened. The last time I saw Mishka was her frightened face looking out the window.”Tod looks at me, concerned, as he helps me upright; my head is still a little dizzy, but I feel better now I’m no longer lying on the cold floor.“Jesus, Ben, you're a mess. Do you want me to ring an amb
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 120Mishka’s point of viewI let out a groan as I slowly open my eyes; the pain in my back is excruciating. The only relief that I have is knowing that Dimitri will stay away from me for the next couple of days.As I think back to yesterday, I realise that the punishments are getting harder each time Dimitri pushes a little bit more until he almost loses control. I know that if I don't get away from this man, he will lose control completely until he goes too far.Do I think he could break enough to take my life...Yes, absolutely, and It’s only a matter of time before that happens.I desperately need to go to the toilet, noticing the cage door is unlocked, but each move that I try to make pulls on the fresh welts on my back, making me cry out in agony,I hear the door slowly creek open, and Mrs Harris Demitri’s housekeeper walks; she looks at me before she says, “Oh, my poor child…what has that monster done to you?”I cry out in relief when I see t
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 121Ben’s point of viewThe drive back to the bunker is a painful and sombre one. Laila has managed to get my nose to stop bleeding, but I’m not going to lie; my ribs hurt like a bitch; Laila gives my hand a little squeeze as she asks me, “Are you doing okay?”I nod and reply, “Yeah…I’ll live.”“I can give you some pain meds?” she says, and I shake my head as I say, “No...I’m good.”I want to have a clear head. I have to find Mishka, and I know what that monster is capable of; I need to know that she’s okay.The few minute's drive to the bunker seems to last a lifetime, but we finally pull into the underground parking. Zane and Maddox help me out of the car before we make our way to the medical room.Adam is already waiting for us, and Laila looks at him as she says, I’ll stitch his head while you check him over, Adam” He nods, and Laila turns back to me, “I need to put a couple of stitches in your head, Ben…I’m just going to numb it first.” “Ju
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 121Mishka’s point of viewThankfully I haven't seen Dinitri again since our encounter this morning, and I am grateful for the painkillers that Mrs Harris gave me; whatever they were, they knocked me out for most of the day, and I’m now awake lying in the cage, not daring to get out even though I know the cage door has been left unlocked,A few minutes later, the bedroom door opens, and Mrs Harris walks through it as she navigates a tray in her arms laden with food.I look at her and say, “I thought you would have gone home by now, Mrs Harris?”She smiles at me as she replies, “ I wanted to check on you before I leave. Besides, it’s lonely while Frank is in the hospital. I brought you some food Mishka; you need to eat and keep your strength up, honey.”I look towards the door and whisper, “Where is he?”“He’s been out for most of the day, and he said not to expect him back until late tonight. I came in before, but you were still sleeping; I just w

No better person than someone who has been there themselves, but the more she saw, the more she understood just how bad trafficking has become in Russia. Add to that Alyona becoming homesick.

If you can remember, Maddog married Ruby a few months after she was released from the hospital, not only because he loved her more than anything in the world or because he knew he had found the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, or because being in a stable marriage would help speed up the adoption process for Ysabel and not because she was carrying his child, but simply because Maddox being Maddox, just couldn't wait another minute longer, and he wanted to show the world that Ruby and Ysabel and the new baby were his. Edward Hall still remains in a wheelchair; three months later, the family welcomes their new baby girl into the fold Baby Eleanor and just a few weeks later, they officially adopted Ysabel.

The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 143Mishka’s point of viewMadame Cara drags me into the room by my hair; as I look up to see Ben, the look on his face breaks my heart.“Oh, so this is your woman, Such a pretty young thing.”She whispers as she runs the blade along my neck. I stand frozen on the spot as she laughs,“I could make some money off this one…I wonder how much my clients would pay to fuck two pretty sisters?”I watch Ben’s face turn red with anger as he stands with his hands in the air. Madame Cara’s men are pointing their guns at Ben and his team.She chuckles, pulling me back by my hair as she says,“Well, boys, I’d like to say it’s been a pleasure doing business with you, but that would be a lie. You can't take me down. Yes, you may be able to close this brothel, but I have so many others and so many pretty girls just like this one.”She pulls me closer, and the knife digs into my throat as Ben pleads.“Please don't hurt her.”Madame Cara chuckles once more as she s
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 142Ben’s point of viewI’m not fucking happy that Mishka is coming with us; I know this is her sister we are trying to save, but still, I’d be much happier knowing she was somewhere safe. I made her promise me that she would stay in the van with the doors locked until we come out.I kiss her sweetly on her lips before I pull my balaclava down over my face.“I love you, baby,” I say before heading off into the night alongside the rest of my team; Bear is going in through the front door. Thanks to Adam, we know there are always two guards at the gate; I nod to Bear before our teams split up. Bear takes his side, and I lead mine around to the back of the house. Click throws the rope ladder over the railings before we all climb over; checking my watch, Bear should have taken the gate by now. I count down the last few seconds, knowing as soon as midnight hits, chaos will rain down,Those ten seconds tick by agonisingly slow before Bear's voice booms
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 141Mishka’s point of viewThe teams are getting ready to move in. I watch Ben as he puts his gear on, checking his weapons before slipping on his Kevlar vest.Ben turns to look at me as I start to tie my trainers.“No baby,” He says. I look at him shaking my head, “She is my sister, Ben; I’m coming with you.”“You can't….I can't take the chance of you being hurt, Mishka or worse, I've only just got you back, baby…Please don't do this…You are not trained….”The look he gives me breaks my heart, but this is my baby sister. We are talking about what if she needs me. I have to be there…I have to go…I have to make him understand.I look him in the eyes as I say“She’s my sister Ben. I cannot sit round here wondering if you got her out, if she’s okay if you're okay…Please, Ben, it will drive me crazy what if she needs me.”“Fuck”, He mutters before carrying on, “Okay, you can come only if you promise me you will stay in the van until your sister is bro
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 140Mishka’s point of viewI find myself pacing up and down the hotel room; these two hours feel like an eternity, especially when you can hear the seconds ticking by in this lonely hotel room.I’m worried, and not just for my sister; I’m also worried for Ben. He knows how much Alyona means to me, and I know that man would do anything to make me happy. It was such a relief when Jake asked Bear to come along with his team. I’m so glad Ben is not going into that house alone.It feels like forever until I finally hear the key turn in the lock; I turn to look at the door as I whisper,“Thank you, God.” before throwing myself in Ben’s arms, “Thank god you are okay; I’ve been so worried about you”.He laughs as he replies, “Baby, this is what I do every day; I’m fine.”Maybe but that still does not stop me from worrying; this man has become such a massive part of my life that I will always worry.“Did you see Alyona?” I ask excitedly,“Yes,” He says wit
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 139Bear’s point of viewI find myself in Russia after being drafted in to lead a mission alongside my fellow security officer Bulldog or Ben, if you prefer to use his real name.The Boss, Jake Swift, wanted someone to head the team with him as it’s his girlfriend's sister we've been sent to look into along with some other young women and girls who we believe are being forced to work in a brothel.Jake asked me to join teams with Bulldog as his first team is attending Tank’s wedding this weekend.We spent the first day checking the house out from the outside; nothing was happening well apart from the constant stream of clients going in and out of the property.I’ve been handed some pictures of the girls we were sent to rescue, and Alyona Mishka’s sister is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I’ve rescued many women while working for Jake Swift. I push any thoughts of Aloyna from my mind; I’m here to do a job and cannot afford to lose concen
