Chapter 27: Torture ChamberThird Person POVZaina had already lost her appetite because of Vaughn’s sudden appearance. She said thank you and goodbye to Lina, who was silent right now.The lady came back to her senses and said you’re welcome, dear. She nodded at the lady and started walking away from the area without even looking at him.Vaughn watches her back, and when he realises that she’s leaving, he follows her.“Zaina!” she heard him yell, but she still did not look at him.They are walking in a big hallway.“Amara!” he called her again, this time using her second name. When she heard him say that, she stopped walking to look at him.“What did you call me?” Zaina seriously and yet coldly asked him. No one calls her Amara, and no one should call without her permission. He’s not an exception.“Amara,” he repeated.Zaina glared at him.“Don’t call me that or else…” She warned him.He smirks and starts approaching her. He stopped right in front of her and raised an eyebrow at her.
Chapter 28: KissZaina’s POVDid you ever feel the feelings of falling down into a deep and dark infinite hole? Are you feeling that you can’t move on from something else?Fear, loneliness and hatred, that was only feelings you will feel.“Don’t kill them, please, I’m begging you,” a lady in her mid-twenties begged.The man in front of her just smirked and gave her a sinister look.“So, you choose them over your own life?” He asked that lady.She was slightly taken off guard by what the man had told her, but later, she nodded repeatedly.“Yes, kill me instead. Just don’t hurt them, Viol,” the woman begs him again. The smirk on the man’s face widened.“Okay then, it’s your choice.” As he said that, the man shot her in between her eyes. A yell of agony filled the whole room.“NO!” A man yelled. He was holding a child. That young girl is not me. I watched that armed man kill the family I know.Bloodstained our clean floor. Blood came from the family who adopted me when I was a child.I
Chapter 29: Didn’t show upZaina’s POVIt had already been two months since he kissed me, and after that, he had never shown up again.Just, like, who the hell he is, right? After he did that, I never saw him again in two fucking months.He took my first kiss, and he was the first man who touched me in the places on my body that no one shouldn’t touch.I feel ashamed and mad. So disappointed in myself because I let him do those things to me.I realized I was easy to mess with, and I was not myself anymore. Out of anger, I punched harder on the punching bag in front of me.How dare he touch me? How dare he to play me? How is he to take claim on me?But why am I annoyed? I am supposed to be happy because there’s no annoying man in my life anymore.Which one does heart punch and flying kick the punching bag slide away?I close my eyes and come down myself; darn, I should forget him since he never showed up.I reached for my water tumbler and drank. I wiped the sweat from my forehead and
Chapter 30: Got YouZaina’s POVThey didn’t notice me yet because they were busy dancing on the dance floor. There were six people on the dance floor, including Vane and Kayley.I saw Jane chatting with a certain man on the sofa, and they looked so happy while talking to each other.Then, on another couch, I saw two men, and a lady was in their lap. Overall, there were four women that I don’t know and six men, and this is the only time that I’ve seen them.I really thought there were only three of us who were going to come here, but it ended up being 14. How nice is that?“Zaina!

This is all new to me. No one really greeted me happy birthday in my whole life.I don’t remember someone doing
Chapter 31: Watch MeZaina’s POVI woke up in the morning and I already knew that I was not at my house.Well, damn it.As I got out on the soft and wide bed, I groaned softly, damn hangover. Geez I will never going to drink alcohol again.I roamed around the area, wondering where the hell I was. I rolled my eyes after I examined the place. This is obviously a man’s room. It smells so manly.When I thought of something, a soft chuckle escaped from my lips. This feels like déjà vu, as if history is repeating itself.When I lost consciousness last time, this is where I woke up. And now I am here again, staying in this room for the second time.I looked at the door when I heard it opening. And there he is, walking like a king.I can’t help but stare at him. He’s wearing a black T-shirt and slacks like the first time I saw him. So damn hot, wait, why am I complimenting him?A wide grin formed on his lips when he saw me checking him up. What?“I see, you’re already awake,” he said and then
Chapter 32: Escape PlanZaina’s POVHe didn’t expect my sudden move, so he didn’t have the opportunity to dodge it. Wouldn’t? It’s a surprise attack, actually.He’s on the floor now, still conscious, but I know he can’t stand up quickly. I chuckled devilishly.For my last move, I gave him a hard punch in the face, which caused him to fall to the ground completely.This is really fun. Beating up a Mafia Boss.“That’s for leaving me and making me look like a fool two months ago.” After I said that I started to run away, run away from him.I’m aware that he will chase me and inform his men to stop me from running away. So, I need to ready myself for a bloody battle.I was not mistaken because a group of Men in Black interrupted me from running, but the heck, I will let them capture me.I run fast and fight back. Ten men were on the floor, unconscious with major injuries. And… I killed three men.Don’t get me wrong, I just protected myself, they nearly killed me. It looks like they wante
Chapter 33: New HaylandZaina's POV"Are you alright, Zaina?" Jane asks me again for the third time. Geez, she's really annoying." Yeah, I'm fine," I replied, repeating what I answered her earlier.She glances at me."Eyes on the road," she immediately followed what I said."I'm really sorry, I really need you to do that---""Stop it, Jane, I told you it's fine." I cut her off. I heard her let out a soft sigh and eventually nodded." Ok, I'm sorry." She whispered but just enough for me to hear.Geez, seriously? Does she need to say sorry every time, even if she didn't do something wrong? I chose not to say anything about what she said, and I just ignored her."Mr. Russo and you were so close right?" She suddenly said.Oh no hold on, did I hear her right? Me and him were close? Nah, close my ass."No," I answered plainly.We will never be close, talking to just seeing him makes me sick. She looks at me with confusion in her eyes." Huh? I have always seen him talking to you and have a
Chapter 34: Find Her!Third Person POV“Who else? Is she with you?” Jane swallows her own saliva hard. How can she explain to him what just happened?She’s panicking and afraid of him, and she violated one of his rules by taking Zaina with him without his permission.And one more thing…She’s not with Zaina anymore.
