THE LATE NIGHT VISITOR

It is late at night, and all I have been doing is tossing and turning on this weak bed. I thank God I was taken to a private cell. I pull myself up and sit on the cold, hard bench in this gawddamed dirty cell, unable to sleep. I would be lying is I say that I have any hopes of getting even a drop of sleep this long night. I know I won't.I try to think of Joe and what he is hiding from me. Is it something connected to my arrest? Is he worried about how our parents will receive the news of my accusations? Or what got him so worried?Suddenly, the sound of keys turning in the lock pulls me from my thoughts. The door creaks open, and a guard steps in. "Come out. You have a visitor," his gruffy voice echoes in the small room.My heart skips a beat. A visitor? At this hour? How is it even possible that the police allowed a visitor in at this hour?Maybe Joe? Maybe he has some good news? Maybe he has found a way to get me out of this nightmare in the middle of the night? Or maybe our parent

THE ATTACK

The night screams with silence and dread—the loneliness I have never felt before. I sit up on the bed, my back leaning against the bed as I stare at the blank walls of this room. I miss her so much. I curse the fact that she had to spend the night in that cold, dirty place. And I curse that bastard for pulling such a long one on us. How dare he do this to Bella? Up until now, I respected Bella’s decision to let her handle that moronic son of a motherfucker on her own. But not anymore. This bastard will know that he messed with the wrong person. Nobody messes with my woman and goes scott-free. I will show him what it means to mess with someone that is not even yours. Someone that you should not dream of. I can’t believe that Jerk has the guts to hurt her after everything he has reaped from her. Sick bastard! I would blow his brains out if it wasn’t a crime!Suddenly, I hear a loud knock at the door that jerks me up from the bed. It is not a polite knock but a heavy, aggressive one. An

CELEBRATING VICTORY

THIRD PERSON'S POVThe mood in Leon's penthouse was electric and jubilant. Rina was sprawled across the plush leather couch, a glass of wine in her hand, swirling it lazily. The table was full of unopened bottles of expensive liquor and roasted beef, and the sweet aroma of rosemary and garlic mixed with beer to top the exultant mood. Rina watched Leon, who was pacing back and forth with his third glass of liquor almost gone. He seemed bothered somehow.Rina stood up and trailed victoriously behind Leon, tugging her free hand around his waist as she stood on his side. "I would so love to see that egocentric bitch behind bars and have the pleasure of rubbing it on her ugly face that she is completely doomed," she ascertained, her eyes glowing with hate and satisfaction.Leon raised a glass, clicking it with hers as he swirled her around with his free arm. Now they stood super close, facing each other. He planted a kiss on her lips before speaking, "We did it. The High and Mighty ingeni

A SECRET

She tried breaking the kiss, but she couldn’t. Every time she tried to say something between the kisses, she found her words going down her throat as she swallowed Leon’s tasty saliva as the kiss grew deep and intense.The kiss lasted for a long moment, each lost at the hang of the steamy moment. His hands found her breaths, playing with them gently, drawing her deeper into the steam, but with caution. When they broke the kiss, Leon’s arms encircled Rina, rubbing her back in a sweet, soothing motion. Rina seemed relaxed.Leon took the change and spoke, his gaze melting in hers, but something lay beneath it. Something that no one could tell what it was. “You and I are a team. And we do so well without these arguments and threats, my beautiful Rina.” He kissed her again, and she welcomed the kiss, like she had always been.Even when she felt like the kiss had a different meaning, she had never been strong enough to resist it. And that night was no exception.“We just have to pull one mo

LOOKING FOR THE MONEY

Morning came as soon as Joe shut his eyes in an attempt to sleep through the pain. He woke up, took the painkillers that his doctor had prescribed him, and sat on the bed. Aside from getting Bella out, he also needed to look for the remaining 1.5 million to buy Janie’s silence.He cursed through the pain as he grabbed his phone from the bed. He dialed David’s number and waited. The wait didn’t take long. Davis had been his buddy since his high school days, and he always came through for him whenever he needed his help. If it had not been for David, Joe would not have known about Leon’s betrayal of Bella.“I appreciate you checking up on me this early morning, buddy, but you are ruining something else. We are just about to start the morning glory,” David's joked.“Stop whatever that you are doing and get your ass up because I need a favor,” Joe spoke, rolling his eyes at his friend.David sensed the struggle through Joe’s voice. He abandoned the lady that was in his arms, and jerked hi

A STRANGE MAN

THIRD PERSON’S POVJoe’s phone flushed after he had dropped the call with David. He fished it out. It was a message from the family attorney.“Let’s meet at the station in thirty.” the message read.Joe wasted no second anymore. The thoughts of Janie and the blackmail were tossed at the back of his mind as he grabbed his jacket and limped out of the house.The ride to the police station was tense, the silence allowing him to pick up the raging storms curbing him. Checking his phone, David had sent only 500,000. He still had to look for one million. And time was ticking by so fast.He arrived at the police station and parked the car, jumping out right after. His heart thudded as he anticipated having Bella in his arms once again, but also the fear of Bella learning of the blackmail accelerated his heartbeats.Before he could walk inside, his phone buzzed again in his pocket. He took it out, and opened yet another message.‘7 hours! Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!’ Janie.He greeted his teeth,

THE AMBUSH

The tension in the car is thick. I can feel it. Joe’s hands grip the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles are white. He hasn’t said much since we left the police station, and I can’t shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong. Every time I ask him what’s going on, he brushes me off with a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes.I know him better than anyone. He is worried—really worried. The cuts on his face, the way he moves carefully, like he’s in pain, the mysterious phone calls—all of it adds up to something he’s not telling me. But I don’t push him. Not now. There’s too much going on, and I’m just grateful to be out of that cold, horrible cell.Still, I can’t help but feel uneasy. I keep stealing glances at Joe, hoping he will open up, but he stays silent, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. The city lights blur outside the window, and the hum of the car engine does little to calm the storm inside me. I can’t stop thinking about Leon, about how he came to see me at the st

UNPROMISING CONDITION

THREE DAYS LATER.THE STORY GOES BACK TO BELLA'S POV FROM THIS POINT. I WILL INCLUDE OTHER CHARACTER'S POVS WHERE NECESSARY.A striking pain rushes through my body as I peel my eyes. Every part of my body aches, my skin stinging with the raw pains of burns and bruises. My mind feels so foggy, and I feel so disoriented. I can't even twist my head. I lay flat on a mattress, but not on my own bed.A tall, semispherical house? This quietness? Where am I?I raise one hand, the only part of me that seems to be able to move without much struggle, and I realize that I have wounds and burns, all covered in crushed and smeared leaves. I drop the hand, almost screaming with pain as it rests on my side.I shut my eyes a little, and tears start flowing down as the last memories of my existence before now come crumbling down on me in waves.The arrest... Leon's threat... the ambush, the fall, the fire...My chest tightens, making breathing so difficult for me. The terrifying sounds of gunfire are

BRIGHTER DAYS

A beautiful smile dances on my lips as I tour my eyes around this small, traditional house in the woods that has served as my home, solace, and peace for the last couple of days. Never in my entire life could I have imagined that I, Bella Montana, could ever find myself in a place such as this and in a condition like this. But here I am, humbled like this. Life indeed is a mystery.The small house feels more alive than before, and every single day now looks brighter than the previous. The darkness is fading, and so are the fears, as Joe has been awake for four days now. That lifted off my grief and filled my heart with hope and joy.I look at him, a very short distance from me, as he struggles to walk around. Although his body is far from fully recovered, he insists on moving around, and he has been quite a stubborn, obstinate ass on that matter. He listens to no one when we tell him that he is still too weak to struggle like this. His stubbornness matches his strength, though neither

THE MYSTERY

With insatiable hunger and desire, we kiss and kiss and kiss, every stroke of the tongue conveying how we both longed for this. Soft moans of pleasure and satisfaction fill the room; the dance of our tongues reaches climax. My frail body is trembling beneath him with more desire. The fire is building so high. I yearn for more. I can feel that he wants more too.But the reality of where we are somehow slaps our sixth sense. We both pull away, his forehead resting on mine as we struggle to steady our breathing.We are Montanas, a name that is known all over the world. These people might be living in the woods, but it does not mean that they don’t listen to news. They might have a clue of who we really are, which is why they have not inquired about us. And if they know that we are siblings and then walk in on us chewing each other’s lips, we will be in a hot soup. Our dirty little secret will yet again be exposed to another party.“I need to get better so that we can get out of here,” Jo
