I can’t deny that today turned out to be a lot better than I originally thought it would be. I was bracing myself for a day filled with chaos and frustration, expecting it to be one of the most awful days ever. But to my surprise, it’s actually been quite easygoing. There’s a sense of comfort in knowing that I’m making progress in finding Dad and securing his safety. The thought of finally seeing him face to face again fills me with anticipation and hope. I can’t wait for that moment to arrive.As I pulled up to my mansion, the familiar routine unfolded; my security opened the car door, and I stepped out, the cool night air brushing against my skin. I walk toward the house, only to be met by an eerie silence and darkness that envelops me. A sense of emptiness washed over me and I knew that if Dad had been around, it wouldn’t have been silent and he and I would have been at the home theater watching the sitcom Friends. But now that he’s not here, it’s almost as if the whole place lost

As I step inside my house, I take a moment to freshen up, washing away the day's stress. I change into my favorite comfortable outfit, a soft nightgown that feels like a warm hug. Tying my hair up into a ponytail, I settle back at my desk, determined to dive into Dad’s case. I open the thick book, flipping through the pages, trying to navigate the intricate process laid out before me. I double-check everything, making sure I haven’t missed a single detail. Deep down, I know I haven’t overlooked anything, but I need that reassurance. I can’t afford to mess this up; the stakes are too high, and I want to wrap this up as quickly as possible.The sooner Dad comes back into my life, the better it will be for me. It’s been more than three days now, with tomorrow marking yet another day without him. It’s hard to articulate just how tough it is to live with the knowledge that he’s out there somewhere, not safe. The thought weighs heavily on my heart, and I genuinely worry about his well-being

Dad always says that diamonds are the root of both good and evil, and if they end up in the wrong hands, they could destroy the entire universe. I never really grasped what he meant until he led me through a dark tunnel that opened up to a brilliant light- one that I’d never seen before. As we made our way down the long hallway, our footsteps echoed loudly, emphasizing how isolated we were in this place. The darkness was so thick that I felt compelled to hold onto Dad's hand tightly, trusting him to guide me through the door ahead. It was the darkest yet somehow the safest place I had ever been in. There are no securities around but I feel safe and I could feel invincible eyes on me making it clear that the place is solid safe and protected from all evil people. Despite the place being dark, Dad reassured me that we didn’t need a flashlight because he was familiar with every corner of this mysterious location. He explained that using a beam of light could alert anyone lurking in the

My eyes flutter open as the warm rays of sunlight stream through the windows, casting a golden glow on my face. I let out a groan, turning onto my stomach in a futile attempt to slip back into the comforting embrace of sleep. Deep down, I know I have a busy day ahead, and my lack of rest isn’t going to help. I can already feel the heaviness in my eyelids, but just as I start to drift off again, my phone buzzes insistently beside me. I steal a quick glance at the screen, but it’s not the message that grabs my attention; it’s the glaring time that sends a jolt of panic through me.In an instant, I sit up straight, my heart racing as the realization hits me—I’ve overslept! I throw the covers off in a frenzy, the fabric tangling around my legs as I leap out of bed. I dash toward the bathroom, adrenaline pumping through my veins as I turn on the shower, the sound of water crashing against the tub echoing in my ears. I can’t believe I slept for so long; I thought I’d only close my eyes for

I filled Richie in on everything I had uncovered about Charles Smirnov and what he’s been up to lately. Last night, I really dug deep into my research and found out a lot more than I expected. Charles is currently in jail here in Chicago, but he’s set to be sent back to Russia soon, which means today is his last chance to be in the city. I have this rare opportunity to meet him before he’s whisked away.I made sure to explain my theory about Charles and why I suspect he might be behind all the chaos, even though he’s behind bars. Despite his incarceration, he has a network of people around Chicago who could still be working for him. Plus, his younger brother, James Smirnov, is absolutely furious with both Richie and me. It’s clear he harbors a strong hatred toward us, which I believe stems from the fact that Charles ended up in jail because of my actions and because of the death of his older brother, which was caused by Calista, who is related to Richie. The Smirnovs are the only mut

I can’t hide the expression on my face; Charles looks even worse than I ever imagined. The sight of him stirs up a whirlwind of memories—the struggle, the screams, the scars etched into my mind, the cries that echoed in the darkness, and the pain that lingers like a shadow. He embodies the dead part of me, the part I thought I had buried. The hurt he caused runs deep, and I find myself consumed by hatred for every inch of him. It’s infuriating to realize that, after everything he’s done, I’m now standing in front of him, the lunatic I despise the most, preparing to interrogate him.I can’t help but notice how his eyes glide from Richie to me, a predatory gleam in his gaze as he seductively licks his lips, presumably recalling the twisted acts he committed against me. That bastard really needs a lesson, and I’m determined to make sure he gets one. There’s no way I’m leaving this place without confronting him. A smirk creeps onto his lips as he leans back, saying, "When they said someon

Charles looks between Richie and me, the color draining from his face. The seriousness etched on his features tells me he knows something crucial, but he’s clearly trying to keep it hidden.He holds onto his serious expression for just a moment longer before he suddenly erupts into laughter… again. The sound echoes throughout the room, filling every corner with his boisterous mirth. His eyes squint shut, and I can see the way his body shakes with each burst of laughter as if he’s losing his grip on reality. I can see the sheer energy radiating from him; it’s not just a simple laugh—he’s howling, practically screaming with joy. It infuriates me, making me feel like a complete fool as he mocks me openly, laughter spilling from his lips like a taunt.I keep my eyes locked on him, watching as he continues to laugh for what feels like an eternity—two solid minutes of unrelenting amusement. My frustration builds, but I refuse to give him the satisfaction of a reaction. I stand there, fists

I don’t realize that tears are streaming down my face, nor do I notice Richie rushing into the room until I feel his hands gripping me, pulling me back, and wrenching the gun from my fingers. His expression is a mix of anger and concern as he shouts something at me, but I can’t make out his words; all I can think about is the horrifying fact that I aimed the gun at Charles. I turn my head slightly and catch a glimpse of Charles on the floor, moving just enough to show that I haven’t killed him.At that moment, memories flood back—memories of me screaming in agony, begging him to stop as he continues to hurt me, taking away a part of my soul in the process. A surge of rage courses through my veins, igniting a fire that pushes me to shove Richie aside. I lunge towards Charles, my mind consumed by a singular focus: I want him to pay. I don’t care about the consequences; I just want him to feel the depth of my pain, even if it’s just a fraction of what I have endured.I swing my fist with

As I step outside, the chill of the evening air wraps around me, but it’s nothing compared to the storm brewing inside. Richie trails behind me, calling my name, but I refuse to turn around. My eyes are brimming with tears, and I don’t want him to witness the turmoil raging within me. Yet, as I continue walking, he reaches out and clasps my hand, forcing me to face him. His gaze is filled with sympathy, and it only makes the tears spill over. "Rach, oh my god," he says, stepping closer, but I instinctively pull away."Don’t come close to me, Richie, just don’t!" I yell, my voice cracking as more tears cascade down my cheeks. I can already feel the weight of this day crushing me, and I hate it with every fiber of my being.Richie’s eyes soften as he looks into mine, and I can see the regret etched across his face. "I should have known this was a bad idea. I’m sorry for bringing you here; maybe we should…" he trails off, searching for the right words."No," I interject sharply, disbelie

I want to move on. I want to let go of all the emotions and pain in my heart. I want to let go of everyone that hurt me and just keep moving. I tried doing that, I tried forgetting and forgiving but each time I tried I fail so badly. It’s like a kid doing their math homework for the first time. You will fail utterly even if you’ve tried doing it a thousand times without a master. I wish I was like the other girls, I wish I could move on like that and be free to love and be loved but I’m not like them. I’m like the others, god-least-favorites who have to do all it takes to get up and be happy. I really hate showing my weaknesses, and that’s why I often put on a strong and motivated front for everyone to see. But deep down, I’m just yearning to scream my lungs out and cry in the arms of those who have hurt me. I want my voice to be felt and my heart to be listened to, but it’s so hard to be heard when I’m not ready to talk about everything that’s inside me. I’ve come to realize how cru
