LOGINYork Langston locked me up for six months. Word on the street was he dropped over 100 million to buy me my own private island. Security here? Tight enough to rival the White House. Even a bird that flew past the area would get shot down on sight. But what nobody knew… All that luxury people envied? To me, it was just a gilded cage. It wasn't until he found a woman who looked almost like me that his interest began to fade. One day, she stormed the island with a gang at her back while he was away. She slashed my tendons and carved up my face with a blade before locking me inside a cage with a rabid dog. I was barely breathing by the time York finally found me. "York, this woman thought she could fool you by imitating me? She must be a spy! You'll have to flay her alive if you want her to talk!"

It was late afternoon when I wrote my last exam for my third year. I was waiting for my friend Chloe and her boyfriend Alex outside. I was pleased to learn that next year would be my last year. For someone like me, I had to give it my all. I don’t have enough money to pay for my education. So, I made sure my grades were good enough to qualify for a scholarship. Chloe has been studying on a scholarship since she began university. But she failed several of the classes and the scholarship stopped providing her with financial assistance. Alex has been paying her tuition since then. Alex appeals to me. He has the funds and backs Chloe. They’ve been together since their second year and adore one another. Alex’s parents adore Chloe as well. They truly adore her more than their son. When the two argue, they always side with Chloe. I hope I can find someone like Alex. He’s very kind and so sexy. Chloe and I grew up together at the orphanage. We were both booted out when we were 18 years old. We continued together after that, but when Chloe reached 19, Alex moved in with Chloe, and I now have the place to myself while studying and working part-time.Chloe yelled out, “Hey Gaby!” She was approaching me with Alex.“Let’s head out tonight for some cocktails. We need to rejoice. Next year will be our last year, and I am not going to take no for an answer. I’ll be there to pick you up at 6 p.m.”She didn’t even allow me to speak. I took a taxi to the garage, worked for four hours, and then returned home. I showered, put on make-up, and never went overboard with it. I always tried to look natural, so I wore my dress and high heels. Chloe’s instructions were to wear a dress and high heels. At 5:45 p.m., she texts me. “Are you ready, bitch?”I replied, “I’ll be down in 5 minutes.”As I walked toward Alex’s vehicle, Chloe and Alex seemed completely taken aback. “Can you tell me where you’ve been concealing that butt?” Alex commented. For me, Alex was more of an older brother to me, while Chloe was more like a sister to me. Alex was a part-time student who was also employed by his father’s firm. He was 5 years older than me and Chloe, and we were in the same class. Even though these two were quite protective of me, they also encouraged me to find a boyfriend of my own.“I think you’re going to get laid tonight,” Chloe remarked. "Oh, please shut up."Poor me, I grinned. I’ve never seen a man naked, let alone kissed, let alone have sex.Alex took us to the club, which was gigantic. He escorted us to the VIP session that he had reserved for us. Chloe placed an order for several drinks. Whatever she ordered, it was delectable and delightfully sweet. I couldn’t even tell that I was consuming alcohol. “Hey, Gaby. Let’s get this party started on the dance floor. "We proceeded to the dance floor. The DJ was playing Sia’s “Unstoppable.” I could feel people looking at me. I looked around the dance floor. I became irritated. Chole and Alex were kissing. I returned to the bar because I was so uptight. The dance floor seemed to be reserved for couples exclusively. I sipped my drink quickly. I stared at the bartender as it was refreshing and so fuckenly amazing, but I wanted something strong.“I want something powerful,” I grumbled as I replaced the drinking glass on the bar counter. “I can give you a tequila shot,” the bartender offers. “Sure, give it to me.” I leaned forwards as he blasted me with a lemon. "How do you take this?" I inquired, with a grin on my face.“Gulp down the shot,” the guy said. The tequila was burning my throat. “One more,” I said as I repositioned the small glass on the bar counter. He offered me another shot, and I drank it as well. I surveyed the area. I wanted to twerk. I’ve always been a twerking monster, and that drink did exactly what I wanted. I returned to the dance floor, this time without caring that it was for the couples. I was wobbling my butt, and I could feel eyes on me again. For some reason, the gaze on me accelerated my butt twerking. Is this what they mean by sexual desire? I burst out laughing. I felt a body pressed against mine as I was swaying. I wanted to turn around and tell him to fuck off, but then he grabbed my a$$ and I wanted him to grasp the other pair. I could feel my pussy throbbing in the crotch of my thong just from that one a$$ grabbing. I was puzzled by how I felt. No one had ever grabbed my a$$ before. I had no idea how to react. Our bodies were swaying in unison. I was following his lead. He gripped my hand, which sent shivers down my spine. Then he whirled me around. My back was against him. He squeezed me close, then shoved my a$$ against his crotch. I swayed my hips to the beat of the music, gently gyrating at him. What am I doing? But then I shrug it off.He swirled me once again, without letting go of my hand. Then I met the man who made my body feel things. He stood tall, with dirty blond hair and ocean-blue eyes. He had me completely enthralled. I couldn’t take my gaze away from him. He was staring at me as if he were gazing through me. He was stunning to a guy. I inspected his whole body. Wide shoulders have a good quantity of muscle; they are highly muscular. He had muscles that complemented his physique. A tattoo on his shoulder. I couldn’t tell where the tattoo began, but I was in amazement. I could tell he was probably 9, 10, or 11 years older than me just by looking at him. I didn’t mind. Then he said something. “Mind getting some more drinks, baby girl?” I was still lost trying to assess him. He then swallowed and cleared his throat. I then realized he was saying something. “Huh?” He smirked. “Come on, let’s go have some drinks.”“Certainly, sure.” Then I heard my friend humiliate me. “You have to get laid tonight and lose your virginity.” I could tell she was inebriated. “I’m so sorry about my friend. Please disregard her.” “It’s okay. Let’s go get some drinks, or should we get out of here?” He inquired.
Anxiety churned within me, but I had no choice but to play along."It was behind the Golden Club. You were ambushed and seriously injured. I saved you."Yet, York shook his head. "No, that's not it. It was here."He lifted his foot and stomped lightly, and the ground responded with muffled thuds.His voice dipped, almost inaudible. "But it doesn't matter. Nicole, you saved me twice. Back in school, I vowed I would always protect you. Yet here we are, and I've let you down."A tear suddenly slid down my hand, catching me off guard.York's voice caught in his throat. "Nicole, if I had mustered the courage back then to pursue you, would you have said yes?"Almost without hesitation, I replied, "No.""Was there no chance for me even without Clint?""Correct."A heavy silence filled the darkness.York let out a soft, bitter laugh. "Nicole, why won't you even lie to me? You once said, 'What's wrong with picking up trash? I'd happily be friends with him for life!'"I had no patien
Five years of careful undercover work—gone in an instant, and Clint along with it.Perry found me, urging me to stop searching. York was too paranoid, and pursuing this further might jeopardize other agents still undercover.However, I couldn't accept that.Clint had vanished without a trace. I needed to find him, dead or alive—even if it meant recovering only his body.I shadowed York for a week, waiting for the right moment to approach.I didn't expect him to whisk me away to another country so easily."Nicole, the information you've given us is a huge breakthrough for the police! You've done us a great service!" Perry's face lit up as he finished reading.I shook my head.There was only one thing on my mind. "Find… Clint…""Don't worry! We'll find him if he's still alive. He's definitely fighting tooth and nail, just for your sake!"During my time in the hospital, I called Perry almost every day.Yet, his response never changed.After a while, even he began to have doubt
The white bandages covered my entire face.Every bone in my body felt as though it had been shattered and reconstructed."Ah, you're finally awake." A stranger's voice sounded beside my bed.I struggled to open my eyes.The nurse's face came into sharp focus in front of me. "You've been asleep for three days and nights."I stare at her, dazed. My mouth opened, but I could only make a few muffled sounds.The nurse reassured me, "Your vocal cords are severely damaged, so you can't speak for now. If you need anything, just write it down."She placed a pen and notebook by my side.My left hand was fully cast, completely immobile. Still, I could move my right hand.It was only then that I noticed something in the palm of my hand.My breathing quickened as my eyes locked onto the photo, hastily pieced together with tape.It was a picture of me and Clint!Before he went missing, he had wanted to break up with me.I refused. We had a huge fight, and in my anger, I tore up every ph
Quinn's face turned ashen. "York, are you really going to abandon the men who've bled for you—all over a woman?"Luna stood there, utterly speechless, as she widened her eyes in shock. "York…"She had never imagined that sneaking onto the island would provoke York's wrath like this.York's fingers traced her waist, his smile cold and dangerous. "You included."With that, he shoved her aside without a second thought. "And find Nicole. Now."Luna was stunned as she sat frozen on the floor, staring at the man who had always spoiled her. She couldn't believe it. How could he turn on her so suddenly?It was obvious that she couldn't compute just what had happened. So, she did what she always did—she started throwing a tantrum. "That ugly freak! You're still thinking about her? What does she have that I don't? Is it just because she looks a little like me? Are you saying the imitation is better than the real thing?"York, who had been ignoring her, suddenly turned toward the cage wher
York's cold, unreadable gaze locked onto Luna as he advanced step by step.The silver prosthetic limb did nothing to diminish his imposing presence. If anything, it added a dangerous, coiled energy to him, like a predator waiting to strike.Luna flinched, instinctively backing away several steps. "Weren't you supposed to be in Rafiq?"York's eyes swept the room; his expression darkened when he didn't see the person he expected.Luna shot me a venomous look. Indeed, the moment she had burst into my room, I had triggered the emergency alert York had left for me.Luna sensed the shift in his mood and quickly changed her tune, adopting a sweet, innocent expression as she clung to his arm with feigned affection. "You're always off running around. I never get to see you. Quinn said you come here often. So, I begged him to bring me."York's stare bore into her. "You just said you knew I went to Rafiq."She didn't miss a beat, playing up her timid act. "How was I supposed to know if y
They pinned me to the ground, their grips unforgiving.Luna's foot pressed hard against my face, grinding it with cruel force. "Stop yelling! You sound like a dying animal!"She glanced at one of the men nearby. "What are you waiting for? Get it done!"I looked at Quinn through the haze of pain, my eyes pleading. "That… it's all I have left from him. Please…"Clint had been close to Quinn before his disappearance. It was only because he saved Quinn's life once that he had gotten into the syndicate under York's wing. Quinn knew everything about me and Clint; he even brought us to get our tattoos together.I was hoping, praying, that Quinn would show some mercy for Clint's sake if anything else. Yet, he didn't even look at me."You never should have gotten mixed up with York. If you survive, one day, he's going to die because of you!"Luna let out a wild laugh. "Look at you, a total wreck! And you still think you can charm your way out of this?"With that, she grabbed the knife,
