Pov Tyler Miller.
I was sitting on the couch, bandaging my arm it hurt like hell. The pain intensified when Justin poured alcohol on the wound to prevent infection. I could feel the entire length of my arm burning as if it were on fire, increasing the anger I felt towards that person."What are you going to do with her?" Josh asked while adjusting the black bag full of money."I'm going to make her suffer immensely!" I replied, grabbing a set of knives and a pair of polished silver handcuffs."Why don't you just kill her, like you did with her parents?" Justin asked, confused."Because before killing her, I want to give her the worst experience she can have, making her live in hell. That's why I married her to put an end to the Parker family!" I shrugged, showing indifference."The money is already here, the shipment has been delivered to the guards, Josh got his morphine, you won't feel pain, and the doctor said the shot grazed you, it was easy to remove the bullet. No possible complications, and we can enjoy the rest of the night to have some fun!" Justin said with a victorious smile on his lips."I heard they opened a nightclub near the main square, and the girls there are extremely hot!" Josh commented, thoughtfully."As if you could get one of them without paying!" I mocked, finishing counting the money we had and putting it in the safe."At least the girls I pick up at night don't want to shoot me with a .35 caliber pistol or put a bullet in my chest!" he mocked when I was changing the dressing, which was soaked in blood.I looked at him full of anger but remained silent, rubbing alcohol on my wound. As soon as I finished having fun with the prostitutes, that person would pay for making me feel pain!"I advise you to take a shower!" Justin said, crossing his arms and pointing to the vacant bathroom."I don't stink, and it's just blood, don't tell me you're going to faint!" I said ironically as I discarded the dirty gauze in the trash.We went to the nightclub in my car, and as soon as we entered, a hot blonde approached to offer her services."Mr. Mitchell, so good to see you here!" she whispered in my ear, licking her lips full of desire."So you know me?" I raised an eyebrow suspiciously, and she smiled shyly."Everyone knows the Mitchell family... The club owner said you and your friends are welcome anytime. You're our special guests. Let me introduce you to the VIP area!" she said, swaying in front of us with a red mini-skirt and an extremely thin lace thong.The woman in front of us led us to the main room, where it was full of other women wearing tiny outfits. She took advantage of sitting on my lap and started grinding, while some danced, trying to extract money from the guests."Let's have some fun tonight, darling!" she whispered, biting my earlobe.I allowed her to sit openly on my lap, and I roamed my hands between ample breasts, sliding them down to her buttocks with extreme desire. I planned to possess her that night, if that damn phone hadn't rung, abruptly interrupting my plans to have sex all night."Hello? Who's speaking?" I asked impatiently, irritated by this person interrupting my enjoyment."Sir, Miss Emily is not well!" Emma said from the other end of the line."You called me for this? Give her some painkillers!" I responded impatiently, about to hang up.I heard her take a few steps away from someone, beginning to whisper on the phone as if sharing a secret."She needs a hospital, urgently. Emily is losing a lot of blood!" Emma said anxiously."Let her die and call the funeral home to order a coffin!" I shrugged, indifferent."Mr. Mitchell, you're not understanding. I think Emily is having a miscarriage; the blood doesn't stop flowing between her legs, and she's experiencing severe abdominal pain!" Emma said nervously.My heart froze. I never thought about having a child, but I had lost a sister when she was still in my mother's womb. I wouldn't care if Emily died, as it would complete my plan. But if she was carrying my child, that would change a lot. She couldn't lose this baby."What's wrong, dear? Don't you want to have some fun?" the woman beside me tried to provoke me, rubbing her breasts in my face.I pushed her abruptly, grabbed the car keys, and went straight to it. I drove as fast as I could, and as I was already close to home, I arrived quickly. I opened the door and saw so much blood on the sofa, where Emma was next to Emily, almost completely unconscious."To the hospital!" I shouted nervously."I can't walk!" Emily groaned in pain.I picked her up and placed her in the car. Throughout the entire journey, she kept screaming, saying that if she died, it would be my fault. Emma hadn't told her about the possible miscarriage.When we arrived at the hospital, the doctor didn't ask me anything, as he knew who I was. He simply took Emily to the emergency room and started conducting various tests to identify the cause of the bleeding."Accompanying Miss Parker?" a nurse came to call me. "Please follow me to the doctor's office," she said seriously.I followed the nurse to the room where Emily was, along with the doctor."She's still asleep. We injected a sedative to examine her.""I tried to wait for the doctor to finish speaking, but I couldn't hold back. With anxiety, it had been a long time since Emily had checked into the hospital, and I had been without news for hours.""Was it a baby after all?" I asked, confused and afraid that I might have been responsible for the death of my child; I would never be able to forgive myself for that."Pov Tyler Miller"Was it truly a baby?" I questioned, feeling both confused and fearful that I could have been responsible for my child's death; I would never forgive myself for that."No, it isn't! It still exists, although the girl bled significantly. The blood was from an internal hematoma, which can pose risks for both her and the baby. We'll keep her here until the vital signs of both return to normal. After that, we'll discharge her so she can go home. We'll keep you updated on her case," the doctor explained, reading the exam results as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world.I never planned to impregnate the daughter of the man blamed for my mother's death. I had already decided to keep her alive just to make her suffer, and suddenly this happened.I glanced at the bed, and she appeared to be waking up. Her eyes slowly opened, and it took her a while to figure out her surroundings. Emily turned her head and noticed me, causing her to shrink in fear on the bed."You'l
Pov EmilyPregnant? I don't want to be carrying his child. I don't want to bring my baby into this twisted world; Tyler doesn't deserve to be a father. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts as the door to the room swung open, and Emma walked in with a tray in hand."Hello, Mr. Parker," Emma greeted with a smile."Hello, Emma," I attempted to reciprocate her smile, but with so much turmoil around me, it felt impossible to exude kindness."I've brought soup and some fruits for you," Emma said, approaching to reveal the contents on the tray."I'm not hungry," I responded, wrinkling my nose at the sight of the food."But you need to eat for the baby's sake. Come on, take a bite," Emma insisted, picking up a piece of fruit and attempting to feed me."Emma, I'm not hungry," I rejected with frustration. At that moment, the doctor and the nurse entered the room, carrying several examination papers that had been conducted while I was unconscious."I'm relieved to see you awake, Emily!" the docto
Pov Emily"What do you mean, leaving our lives forever?" I asked, a bit apprehensive, knowing Tyler didn't make jokes."When you have my child, you will die. Is it hard to understand?" he said, leaving the room and going down the stairs."You can't be serious. Do you really think you can kill me? You're dreaming!" I said angrily, following him and drawing the attention of the men waiting for him in the living room."Emily, stop bothering me with your unnecessary comments and go to bed!" he replied impatiently.I wondered what lie he would tell our son, trying to hide that he killed his mother by mistake. Do you think he will be able to forgive you?" I kept talking, not caring about the consequences.Emma came to us to find out what was going on, and the security guards began to surround the area due to my strident screams."Don't worry, I'll find a new mother for the baby. As soon as he's born, he'll never remember that you existed in his life!" Tyler shrugged, unfazed."So that's wha
POV TylerWhat the hell was my father talking about? I had killed the Parkers two months ago, and what is my father doing here?"Emily, go to your room, now!" I said seriously, and she looked at me, confused, not understanding what was happening."No! What do you mean? What did you do to my parents? They're innocent!""We didn't do anything, right, son? That's exactly why I'm furious!" Paul said through gritted teeth, sitting in the armchair in front of the living room."What are you talking about?" I raised my eyebrows suspiciously."They escaped!" my father answered angrily.I heard those words in disbelief. How could they have escaped? I kept one of my men to kill them, and he had told me the job was done."You tried to kill my parents?" Emily spoke with a shaky voice."Are you stupid by any chance?" Paul looked at her angrily, and I knew what he was about to do."Emily, go to your room, now!" I shouted. She looked at me a bit reluctant and slammed the door, obeying my command. I c
**Pov Emily. One day later...**It wasn't possible that my parents abandoned me to die, and worst of all, the reason for all this hatred is unknown. My parents wouldn't marry me into a family planning to destroy ours, or would they?Paul Miller never appeared in person, and Tyler's mother never visited us. They said she was involved with her bridal studio in New York and, therefore, didn't visit us. They didn't even show up for the wedding. In fact, I never met them.The first time I saw Tyler's father, he was in front of me pointing a gun at my head. Emma mentioned she overheard Tyler and Paul talking; his father planned to stay in this house for a month, and I needed to find a way to escape. I couldn't sleep at night out of fear. When I managed to fall asleep, I had nightmares and woke up scared in the middle of the night. I'm sure this isn't good for the baby.The clock read four in the morning. I decided to take a hot shower to calm down. When I entered the bathroom, I saw Tyler o
Pov Tyler.After leaving Emily at the cabin, I went straight to the warehouse. From a distance, I could identify the person sitting at my table."You woke up early," I said, looking at my father, who was sitting near the stack of drugs."You too, my dear son. Still trying to hide Emily from me, are you trying to keep me away from my grandson?" My father said with a sarcastic tone. "Don't worry, Tyler, I didn't follow you, and I don't know where she's hiding." He shrugged, indifferent."I'm sorry, but I can't let my son be at risk with you around," I replied seriously, observing his every expression."And you shouldn't. I might do something impulsive. Just looking at that girl, I already feel a boiling hatred inside me. But as soon as this baby is born, Emily will have to die, and for now, keep me away from her, just in case!" He said angrily."All right," I replied, sitting next to him at the table."Tomorrow, a new shipment of weapons will arrive near the border between Mexico and th
POV Emily."So, tell me, why do I have to do this again?" I asked as I continued to walk around the perimeter of the cabin. I looked back and saw Luke laughing at the fact that I hadn't stopped complaining since we left home."The doctor recommended that you get some sunlight and breathe in some fresh air. This contact with nature will do you good!" Emma smiled, holding my hand."I hate this; my legs hurt, and I feel my feet swelling," I said, sitting on a rock near the forest."Let's rest for a bit, then we'll continue!" Emma said, sitting beside me. Luke watched us attentively from afar."Emma... you've been with Tyler for a long time, right?" I asked curiously."Yes... I worked for the Mitchels before Tyler was born," Emma smiled, reminiscing about when Tyler was still a child."Why don't you quit this job? It can't be very comfortable working with the Mitchels for so long, and you're always risking your life," I said, pensively."Oh, dear, things weren't always like this. Tyler wa
**POV Tyler**Sometimes, we need to use our heads to get what we want. Emily wasn't stupid, but she was sentimental and believed faithfully in love. After spending a romantic night with her, I would be able to break the barrier between us easily. My mission was simple; I needed to pretend to be the repentant husband and fake some feelings for her. This way, I could keep Emily close until all of this ended. With her parents out of my reach, I would unleash all my anger on their daughter. After the baby was born, my plan was quite simple; I just needed to pretend to love her until this child was born."Good morning," Emily said as soon as she woke up, rubbing her eyes calmly."Good morning, future mom. I think the baby should be named Josh in my honor, after all, I'm Tyler's best friend!" Josh said convincingly."That's ridiculous. I saved his life in the last explosion at the warehouse," Justin retorted."Calm down, boys; it's still too early to determine the baby's gender. We don't kn
### Pov Olivia"Are you ready, my daughter?" my mother asked, gently tapping on the door.I finished putting on my hat and nodded. She took my hand and led me to the car, where my father was already waiting in the driver's seat. We arrived early at the cemetery, and for now, only Justin and Ingrid were there, both with expressions heavy with sorrow as they gazed at the coffin.We approached slowly, and they greeted us with somber looks."We're burying him in an hour... you didn't have to come so early," Uncle Justin said sternly, trying to hide the anger and pain in his voice."She wanted to come say goodbye," my mother replied, looking at me with an encouraging glance. She signaled for me to approach the coffin.With a heavy heart, I took a few steps toward David's coffin. Each step felt heavier than the last. Ingrid placed her hand on my shoulder and tried to muster a smile. "He would have liked to see you one last time. He loved you, Olivia," she said, her voice trembling but since
### POV Olivia"Antony..." I murmured nervously, looking at his body lying in front of me. Tears blurred my vision, but I couldn't waste any time."Come on, Olivia, we don't have much time. Forget about Antony, he's gone now. You need to live!" David said, gripping my arm tightly and dragging me towards the trees."How did you find me?" I asked in surprise, hearing footsteps of people running after us."I tracked your phone," he said seriously, looking for a place for us to hide."But it's turned off. They removed the SIM... and there's no internet signal here..." I grumbled, confused."I put a tracker on your phone," he replied."Oh my God, you creep, why did you do that?" I let go of his hand, stepping back in fear.David took a deep breath for a moment and looked at me seriously. "Olivia, I did it because I love you. I couldn't stand seeing you pining over Peter. That day, when I saw you kissing him at your father's house, since that day I felt hatred, resentment. I wanted to kill
### POV Tyler"Are you crazy? That man is a scumbag! How can you do business with him?" Emily nearly vomited with indignation when I told her who my new ally was."I know," I replied, trying to stay calm. "But if we want to get our daughter back, he's the only person who knows Ethan's location. Remember when I asked Antony to check all the warehouses in the city? We found out that guy was the only one Ethan was doing business with. The frequency and his employees were so discreet it was almost imperceptible." I shrugged and collapsed onto the bed, exhausted. "Any news from Josh and Justin?" I asked, noticing the worried look on Emily's face. She shook her head, confirming there wasn't."Anne can't stop crying. She's having to deal with everything alone. To make matters worse, Noah keeps saying Ethan is his father. She's devastated, and Ingrid can't stop looking for her kidnapped niece," she replied sadly, the pain evident in her voice."That's all the more reason I need to rip the hea
### POV Tyler"So, what do you intend to give me in exchange for this information?" the fat man with his cane asked suspiciously, his small, calculating eyes fixed on me."I'll release some of your men I've captured and stay away from your business for at least three months. You'll have carte blanche to do whatever you want during that time," I replied seriously, taking a sip of the whiskey on the table."Tyler... Tyler... who would have thought that after all this time, you'd come to me proposing a deal..." He laughed cynically, his eyes gleaming with malice. "What do you want with Ethan?" He raised an eyebrow, clearly suspicious."That's none of your business! It's personal... I want to know if you accept my deal," I responded curtly, shrugging, not caring about his suspicions."Tyler... Tyler... you’re as arrogant as ever!" He shook his head, thoughtful. "Do you think I'll let you come into my house and deceive me? Have you and that worthless Ethan made some kind of deal to take me
**POV Olivia**I woke up again feeling dizzy, with lapses of memory, alternating between waking and falling asleep without being able to keep my eyes open for long."Look, the little princess is awake!" Alana entered the room with a cynical look, while my hands and feet were tied to the chair, preventing me from escaping."This won't end like this. What have you done to me? Why do I feel so..." I couldn't finish the sentence. My lips were numb, and my mouth tingled."Sedated? Perhaps because you're under the effect of sedatives. We already know you're a match, but we had to run a lot of tests to check if your bone marrow is in good condition, considering the amount of alcohol you consume at your father's parties. We'll need at least two more days to detox you from all the medications. Don't worry, this is the last sedative!" She winked, applying that greenish liquid into my bloodstream again."My bone marrow? What do you want with it?" I asked, trying not to succumb to the anesthesia c
**POV Tyler**"Tyler... Tyler, wake up!" I heard a female voice beside me, shaking my body. The voice seemed distant, and I felt weak. After much insistence, I slowly opened my eyes. The brightness hurt my retinas. The room was all white, filled with equipment. I tried to move, but felt something attached to my arm. Then, a gentle touch on my face and a tight hug."Tyler... I thought you were dead. I'm so happy you're alive!"I opened my eyes and saw Emily in tears, her face red and swollen, looking like she had been crying for hours. I looked around and realized I was strapped to a hospital bed, with various machines monitoring my vital signs."What happened? How long have I been here?" I asked desperately. Emily stepped back, swallowing hard."Seven days. You've been in a coma for seven days. Josh and Justin still haven't woken up. The doctor said they're in critical condition, worse than you... we don't know when they'll wake up," Emily replied, lowering her head."No... that's imp
**POV Tyler**With my heart racing, I got into the car and started the engine. As I drove through the nearly deserted streets, a fierce determination took hold of me. No matter what it took, I would bring Sara back safely. Josh and Justin were my closest friends, and I knew I could count on them.When I arrived at the meeting point, I saw Josh and Justin already waiting. They looked at me seriously, ready for what was to come."We're going to get Sara and make sure she comes home safely," I said, looking at both of them."We're with you, Tyler," Josh replied firmly. Justin nodded, the same determination reflected in his eyes.We arrived near the warehouse, having meticulously planned every detail. There were a few men at the back of the building, and I had positioned some patrol cars at key points on the streets to prevent possible escapes. After rescuing Sara, the plan was to interrogate one of Ethan's men and find out what he was planning and why he was so fixated on Noah."Let's go
**POV Olivia**"It's better this way, honey. We need to trust your father. He wants the best for us," my mother said, smiling and stroking my hair as I lay on the bed, crying in anger.She wiped away one of the tears running down my face and suggested, "How about we watch a movie together? It's been a while since I arrived, but we haven't had time to do normal mother-daughter things. We've been apart for so long... I want to know more about you," she smiled, excited."Thank you, Mom... I would love that," I replied, a slight smile forming on my lips, and she nodded.As soon as she left the room, I sent a message to Peter, asking if he knew anything. I fiddled with my phone to pass the time while my mother made popcorn in the microwave. Finally, I received a message."Do you want to find that bitch Sarah? And your dear friend David, who betrayed you? Come to Xavier Marques Street, near the dark alley. I'll be there and take you to them..."There was no sender. It was another one of tho
**POV Tyler**"Okay... Does Emily have a twin sister that her father sold to a couple when she was born?" I asked again, shaking my head, unable to believe my own words."Yes, Alana Parker was a victim of human trafficking..." Olivia replied seriously, while Emily swallowed hard. "She helped me find my mom, but now it seems like she wants some kind of payment for her help..." Olivia finished her sentence."What does this crazy woman want? Money? Could she be working for Ethan?" I stood up from the table nervously, unable to stay still."I don't know... I didn't go with her... but she really wanted me to," Olivia muttered, hugging Emily, who didn't want to let go of her."Alana is dangerous. I always suspected her and doubted she was on our side. I don't know what she wants, but we have to protect our daughter, Tyler!" Emily said nervously.The anguish in Emily's eyes was evident. She clearly didn't want to lose Olivia after already losing so many years of raising her."Emily, we will
