71 What I Can Do

Harper's POVThe boy standing in front of me was much taller than me, his presence filled with teenage energy. It was obvious what he was thinking, but I saw no need to call him out on it."Nice to meet you. I’m a friend of your sister's, just staying here for a while."I didn’t mention my purpose for being here. They’d figure it out soon enough. His friends, also teenagers, looked like they hadn’t eaten either. I politely declined Megan’s mother’s offer for more food, remembering my reason for coming here. I was determined to do whatever I could to help these kids have enough to eat.Marco’s POV"Are you really okay with leaving Mexico deal to Elena?" The man organizing my files on the plane asked me.I flipped through the folder. My father had shielded Elena from a lot, and I never imagined her background could be this complex. She was a mix of Russian and Mexican, though her Russian father’s genes clearly dominated her appearance.Few people knew the brutal truth about her father's

72 Sold the Body

Harper's POV“How old are you?” I asked gently.“Seventeen,” she replied. Her baby-fat cheeks made her seem even younger, despite the heavy makeup she was wearing.I reached out and lightly pinched her cheek. “Don’t worry, your mom won’t find out.”“Then why are you giving us money?” Her wide eyes were full of suspicion, mixed with fear.“I want to help people around here, but I can’t help everyone. I want more people to see what life is really like here. By sharing your stories, maybe others will come forward to help too.”She didn’t fully understand, but the older woman in the group clearly did.“I’ll agree to talk, but you better make sure no one can identify us. No names, no pictures, nothing,” she warned.“Of course.”I booked a hotel room nearby, making sure it was clean and decent. When we checked in, the receptionist gave us a sleazy look. I pulled out my black card and slapped it on the counter. “Charge it.”His attitude shifted as soon as he saw the card. “Your room is on th

73 Gunshot

Harper's POV“Bang—” The gunshot rang out.Matthew, already hit once, stared wide-eyed in shock, just like the thugs, who all turned to the source of the sound.I stood there, hands trembling slightly as I held the gun. Smoke still wafted from the barrel, though I wasn't sure if it was from the cold air or something else entirely.Everyone scattered, leaving behind the man I’d shot. His eyes were wide open, a gaping hole in his forehead. Blood pooled beneath him on the cold pavement.Matthew, still clutching Megan, finally managed to stand up. The three of us exchanged a glance, and almost in unison, we all gagged from the horror of it."Do I call the police?" I asked, lowering the gun, trying to process what had just happened. Neither of them asked why I had a gun in the first place."We need to go," Megan muttered, bringing the car around. Matthew slumped into the passenger seat, and I collapsed into the back, trying to shut my eyes and forget everything.But it was useless. Every t

74 Save Me

Marco's POVWith Harper's desperate screams echoing in my head, I couldn’t stand the thought of wasting any more time. My heart was pounding, and I was torn between fear for Harper’s safety and anger at myself for letting things get this far. I dialed my father.“I’ll send a team to help you, and we’ll locate Harper immediately,” he assured me in his usual calm, controlled tone, though I could hear a hint of worry creeping into his voice. He hung up before I could even respond, leaving me in the silence of my own panic.The regret was suffocating. I had thought letting Harper go was protecting her. Now, all I could think about was how much danger she was in—and how badly I wanted the car to go faster.Harper's POVI didn’t remember falling asleep, but I was jolted awake by loud voices downstairs. The noises weren’t right. The owner usually moved around in the kitchen quietly in the mornings, and this wasn’t it.Something was wrong. I slid off the bed, barefoot, and pressed my ear agai

75 Go to the hotel together

Third person's POVMegan was desperate. She was just a woman, while these men—tall, brutal gangsters—had no qualms about violence. In her mind, Harper had already left Detroit, driven away by her brother. Who would come to save her now?“If her friend likes playing hero for w.hores, let’s give her a good show and film it all,” one of the men sneered as they began tearing at Megan’s clothes. She screamed until her voice went hoarse, her jacket already ripped open. She shut her eyes, bracing for the worst.Suddenly, there were screams—but not hers. Megan opened her eyes to see a tall figure approaching. Broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, his gaze was downcast, his presence filled with menace. He didn’t even look directly at her, but his presence alone was oppressive.One of the younger men standing beside him handed Megan a jacket, and she clutched it tightly around her torn clothes.“Thank you,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.The man approached her, and Megan found herself

76 Power and corruption

Marco's POV“You’ve always said you have things you want to do,” I reminded her.“So, the reason my video has such high views is because of you?” Harper’s chin lifted slightly, a hint of defiance creeping into her posture.“Yes,” I replied.“You know I don’t want you meddling in my life, right?”“I’m just trying to help you, Harper. Maybe you don’t understand yet, but even though I’m willing to set you free, that freedom will always have limits. I can’t handle losing you, but I can help you do anything you want to.”The conversation hit a dead end again. I couldn’t lie to her and say I could let her go completely. The Moretti family doesn’t deceive like that.“Fine. Thank you for your help. I’ll find a way to repay you. Can I leave this cursed party now?” she spat, downing a glass of wine in one gulp and setting the empty glass beside a statue before storming off without looking back.Harper's POVDamn it. I really thought Marco had changed, but his control and possessiveness are stil

77 New Plans

Harper's POVWe returned to the stage and the girls seemed to enjoy the occasion. They saw themselves as objects to be sold.I know what I'm about to do will anger a lot of people, including these girls.But somebody's got to be the villain, right?I pulled a dagger out of my tight dress. Speaking of which, this thing has a long history, so tell it to my dear Marco if I get a chance.The party started and Marco took me to the second floor, which was a great place to watch and not be disturbed.I watched with interest the people downstairs, their bodies bare, and many of them began to sink into a sea of s.exual desire.“Marco, do you like girls like that?” I pointed to the popular girl and observed his reaction.Sadly, he didn't respond: “Honey, I don't react to all women. I'm not like them.”What's different?I laughed in my heart and stood up. “I'm going to change my clothes. It's too cold here.”Then I went straight down another corridor.There is a room at the end of the corridor.

78 His secret

Marco's POVI have to admit, Harper has changed a lot. She’s grown into someone who can stand on her own, and what’s even more surprising is that she managed to handle everything herself. That means I can share my thoughts with her without holding back.“Harper.” I stopped her as we were putting on our coats, getting ready to go out. She was wearing a pink knitted jacket, her light curls falling on her shoulders. She looked so beautiful that I wanted to take her right then and there.“Yeah? What’s up?” She turned around, her expression soft.“Nothing... I just have something to talk to you about when we get back.”She smiled but didn’t say anything.The restaurant was one my father had reserved. It was at the top of a skyscraper, the kind of place we hadn’t sat down together as a family since Harper’s engagement. Not that I’d bring up anything about that.“Marco, no mafia business today. This is our family time. Let’s just enjoy being together,” my father said cheerfully as a waiter u

79 A Real Him

Harper's POV“Why are you telling me this now?” If there had been a table in front of me, I would’ve swept everything off it like a maniac.“Harper, calm down.”“I can’t calm down!” I glared at him. This felt like my second failure. Why is it that no matter where I go, I can’t escape Marco’s influence? Even if I flew to outer space, I’d probably find his mark everywhere.He stood up, dragging his injured leg, and pulled me into a hug. We were so close, I could smell his scent, the one that always made me feel... conflicted.“You’re so... so unfair.” I knew he wasn’t one to lie. I couldn’t blame anyone but myself. I tried so hard to distance myself from everything, but it was all in vain.“I’m sorry.” I wasn’t sure if he could even understand how I felt. The organization I’d dedicated myself to, that I saw as my life’s work, was founded by someone who was born into a position of privilege, someone who embodied everything I was fighting against. I couldn’t accept that.“You joining the

80 She’s Always Had Me

Harper’s POVWhen my consciousness floated back to me, I had no idea how much time had passed.“Water…” I murmured, and a moment later, something warm pressed a glass to my lips.I blinked open my eyes to see marks on my wrist where I’d been injected, and a man with a grim expression sitting beside the bed.“What happened?” I weakly tugged on his sleeve with my fingers.“You’d better tell me what’s going on,” Marco demanded, his voice dark.Marco’s POVMy body acted before my brain could catch up. I grabbed some rope, my instincts kicking in as soon as I saw the familiar symptoms in Harper.I glanced back at the screen, and I realized Harper had been keeping something from me. Her body was convulsing violently, and I feared she might bite her tongue, so I shoved my hand into her mouth to protect her.Barely containing my fury, I injected her with medication after she passed out. David had already received my message, sending me a confirmation via email to check on Harper.“Find out if
