Xander was sitting on the edge of the bed and his hands were clasped together as he looked at the floor. He was still trying to figure out how to tell her about everything that had happened and because there were a lot of things running through his mind at the moment, he had no idea how he was going to articulate it in a way that would make her understand why he was not speaking her calls, why this was very shocking and why it's affected almost every part of his life. The room was very quiet and the only life was from the soft Glow of a bedside lamp casting Shadows on the wall. She was sitting next to him and the look on her face was very calm and patient even though she was waiting for him to speak up immediately. The whole time she kept hope in that this was not very bad and that nothing had actually happened to his mother. The silence between them kept getting heavier with each passing second and it was filled with unspoken worries and thoughts that had been weighing on Xander for

XANDER’S POV. I sat there and listened to everything she was saying. She had a way of making things seem more manageable like I was completely drowning in this mess and her voice was calm and steady in a way that helped soothe some of the chaos In My Mind. I had no idea what I could have done without her or how I would be feeling right now if she did not come back. I felt a lot better but even as she spoke I could not shake the uneasy feeling that had settled deep in my gut. I tried to tell myself that I might be wrong and I was only being paranoid but every now and then, I had that same feeling that would not let me think clearly, the feeling that my sister was not who she said she was and that I should do everything possible to find out what she was hiding. I nodded and gently turned to Adeline, already feeling tired from the day's work and it was not just physically but mentally. "I hear you, Adeline." My voice was low and tired as I spoke. " I really do and I am willing to work

MR. QYLER'S POV.I was unable to stop the nervous feeling as I sat at my desk, drumming my fingers impatiently on the oak surface. It had been 24 hours- 24 long, frustrating hours since I had ordered my Informant to get me everything he could find on Xander. I had no idea what the fuck was holding him because he had not sent me anything yet, nothing. And my patience was wearing thin. I had no idea how long I was going to wait before the anger would explode. I had no idea why it was taking this long and I already had reasons to doubt him even though he told me to wait a bit because he wanted to do his job perfectly. This was just unacceptable. I glanced at my phone, fighting the temptation to pick it up and fire him at the spot. He was a very good Informant and for the past decade he had never failed me so I did not think there was a reason to fire him now because he was surely going to deliver as usual. I decided to wait a little more before finally picking up my phone and dialling

MR. QYLER’S POV. Somewhere at the back of my mind I could hear the voices and the executives shuffling papers coupled with the clinking of pens tapping against the table but I barely noticed any of that because I was somewhere else entirely, despite being present. I was sitting at the head of the long, behind the mahogany table, staring at the pile of reports in front of me. My mind wasn't in the room. It wasn't wasn't the numbers, the proposals or the endless chatter about market trends. No. My mind was somewhere else entirely and I wished I could just stop thinking but it wasn't just possible no matter how much I tried. Adeline. My granddaughter. The foolish mistake she was about to make just gnawed at me like a persistent ache and some kind of leech. I clenched my hands under the table as I tried to focus on the meeting once again, it wouldn't let me. It was just impossible and I was still very confused on how I was going to stop the thoughts. The memory of her tear-streaked fac

TRISTAN'S POV.I didn't mind sharing my space with Matt. In fact, I invited him to be with me in the basement of the facility where I had made my home. The others didn't understand it, but Matt and I had clicked on the basis of our plan. We had the same vibe now, and it made things less lonely down here. It was even better because I knew what kind of person he was and knew how to handle him. He knew none of them but he would find out as soon as I was done dealing with him. The basement wasn't anything fancy, but it was fine. The cold cement walls, couches, and makeshift tables all felt like a place I could claim as my own. Matt seemed to appreciate it too, especially the part where we hung around usually. He liked every part of it and I liked that. It only drew him closer and closer to me, very soon he wouldn't have any reason to doubt me. He wouldn't know what was coming for him and he would be shocked when I finally let out my plans. But I had to be careful too. His kind smiles an

MATTI sat on the edge of the old, creaky bed in the basement waiting for Tristan to come back. He had gone to the prison yard to work out with the other inmates. That was his routine, and I admired him for sticking to it. I, on the other hand, stayed inside. There was something about the prison yard that didn't sit right with me like a heavy feeling in my gut every time I thought about going out there. His guys weren't the kind of people to be comfortable around and from the way they looked at me and from the snide remarks I heard from them, I knew the better thing to do would be to just leave them alone. I didn't want to get into any trouble with them, especially since they'd started to show signs that I wasn't welcome. That was the moment the door creaked open, and Tristan stepped inside. He was drenched in sweat and his shirt clung to his body as he reached for a bottle of water on the small table by the wall. "Man, it's brutal out there today." He said before wiping his forehe

MATT’S POVGetting outside was very seamless, more seamless than I had imagined. It seemed as if every single guard had their palms greased and that was why I was a bit confused about what was happening. It wasn't long before I was transported to the small boat just on the shore. I sat there and heard the motor him softly beneath me as it started. It wasn't long before it started cutting through the dark, still waters. The sound of the waves slapping on the side was the only thing that momentarily got my mind off what was happening. I was trying so hard to push off the troubling thoughts about Tristan and the fearful possibilities. The boar rocked gently and I gripped the edge, I could feel my knuckles turning white from pressure and I could feel my face turning blue from fear. I was supposed to be happy, I was supposed to smile because this would mark the end of being under captivity but...I just didn't feel any bit of happiness inside me. Even the cool breeze that came by every no

TRISTAN’S POVThe world felt heavy and blurry when I woke up and my body ached like I'd been hit by a truck. I would have given it a thought if I didn't remember what happened. But that wasn't all. My mouth, in addition, was dry and my head was pounding in a worryingly rhythmic ebb. I blinked hard, trying to focus on where I was. The light above me flickered and it took a moment before I remembered. The prison. The plan. A very bad feeling slithered its way down my stomach and snaked its way up my spine before bursting out at my back. Fuck! I shot up too fast, groaning in pain as my muscles screamed in protest. I had fainted. Poisoned water. Yes, the bottled water... it was poisoned. They had poisoned me, Matt had poisoned me. Matt. Where the fuck was he? A million thoughts ran through my mind as I thought about it all. I stumbled out of bed immediately even though my legs were shaky. I had to grab onto the walls for support. Every part of me ached and every step seemed to intensify

TRISTAN’S POVI could barely differentiate between sophistry and reality on the third day. I saw things that weren't there, and heard things that were never said. I felt like I was dying and my body agreed. It was in the evening of that day that the tiny, dark cell creaked open and the light from the hallway hit my face. It was so sharp and unprecedented that it nearly floored me. But I put out my hands, shielding my face from the blazing light. It felt like I'd come in close contact with the sun. My body, meanwhile, felt weak from the lack of food and water, but I pushed myself from the cold, damp floor. The guard stepped inside, looking at me with a mix of pity and caution. There was a scar running down his face, and the cautious but dangerous glint in his eyes told me he wasn't the type to mess with. I couldn't mess with him, even if he didn't have that dangerous feeling to him because I wouldn't survive another day in here. "You're being released." His gruff voice echoed off the

TRISTAN’S POVThat night, I felt a strange sense of calmness because I trusted the man if spoken to so much, so much that I knew it was only a matter of time before this place was history. I knew I was getting out of here. There wasn't a doubt in my mind. When you call a man like Killian, you don't don't about things going wrong. Kilian was the craziest person I knew- ruthless, cunning and always one step ahead. He was the type of person to call when ugly things like this presented themselves, when you wanted a clean to be done without leaving any traces behind, even if it involved violence. That was exactly why I had phoned. Besides, I couldn't leave Matt out there to do whatever the wanted. I had to get out of here and teach him a lesson, let him know that there was no way he was just going to get out of here and leave me alone to suffer. That wasn't the way things were supposed to be. Kilian's reputation was something people who knew him whispered about. They said he could kill w
