LOGINEstinaTwo men stormed in, their expressions full of malice and nefarious plans. Smirking and sneering, they crept closer and closer. Without a warning, they were suddenly there. Real and present danger had me trembling again."Time to rough you up, little bitch," one taunted."Time to fuck you up," the other said, chuckling as he reached for the zipper to his pants.No!No! No, no, no!I scrambled back, held in place by my ropes tied to the floor. It wouldn't make a difference, but my instinct of fight or flight reared to the surface. I couldn't just lie here. Being a victim wasn't supposed to be part of my life!"Time to fuck that pussy before we make a mess of that face." The first one smiled at his buddy. "You wanna go first?""You take her ass and I'll fuck that mouth," he replied.They nodded, in agreement on how to defile me, but before I could scream mutely again, someone else rushed in behind them. A shadow smeared in the darkness, but I saw him appear just in time.An arm la
EstinaFidelis didn't stay long. After my initial arrival in this room, he joined the Mafia men in taunting me. They loomed over me after they tied the ropes to an anchored hook on the floor, making sure I couldn't even stand with my arms behind my back. My face was pressed to the grimy floor, and with every hard exhale through my nose, a cloud of dirt fluffed up to irritate my eyes.They threatened to whip and beat me, but they didn't lay a finger on me at all.I quickly understood that this was just a game for them. There was no doubt in my mind that they had taken me for some grand purpose. A motive lurked behind their kidnapping, something that they wanted to be rewarded for and paid for. But until they would actually make good on their threats, they wanted to play with me.It was psychological warfare at its worst.I flinched every time they came near. I cringed at the crude, derogatory, and threatening insults they slurred.Sticks and stones could hurt me, but I refused to let t
Anatoli"Did you check her phone?" Gunsyn asked.I stopped pacing at the warehouse where we'd met. Since we realized Estina had been taken, I hadn't given up looking for her. Glaring at my son for such a stupid question, I wished I could scream.Every second that Estina remained missing and unaccounted for was another stroke of hell upon me. I would go insane worrying about her. I would never forgive myself for letting her walk out of my life, but first, I had to find her and see with my own eyes that she was alive and well to walk away again.Gunsyn rolled his eyes, just as annoyed with me as I was with him. "I know we checked it before. When we first realized the Giovannis were fucking with us and their talk was a diversion with Masha being taken.""Do you mean has anyone checked her phone recently?" Sergei asked, walking a slow perimeter of the empty room."Yeah." Gunsyn nodded. "Has she been moved?""No." Roman held up his phone, checking the map. "It hasn't moved.""So we're supp
EstinaThe doors were yanked open from the rear. Loud, grinding creaks of the ungreased hinges whined, but no light shone inward.They'd parked inside a long, dark garage of some sort. Narrow walls threatened claustrophobia. The lack of lights made every shadow more sinister. But it was the approach of the beefy Giovanni men that scared me the most.Two men grabbed me out of the van and dropped me to the rough floor. Cracked pavement didn't give me any cushioning to rely on. I was further wincing and hissing through pain when they grabbed my ankles and dragged me. Like I was an animal, a sack of inanimate junk, they dragged me over the floor through this tunnel-like space.Once they reached a big room with only one light in it, they released my ankles. Unprepared for the abrupt stop, I couldn't brace for the impact. My legs dropped down, and I tensed at the hit of my heels on the concrete floor.They spoke behind me, resorting to Italian and only a few words of English. All I could un
EstinaThe men tossed me into the back of the van without any care whether I'd get bruised. Slamming down onto the floor of the cargo van, I rolled face-up and screamed as loudly as I could. The sound wouldn't carry. The thick gag around my mouth ensured that I was silenced.Another door opened to the car and I breathed harshly through my nose, willing myself not to pass out from the fear. It had happened so suddenly, too quickly for me to keep up with the fact that I'd been captured. Those men surrounded me, but it was Fidelis who'd been closest to me when I stepped out into the traffic to get away. His fingers latched on to my sleeve and yanked me back to the sidewalk before I could've been hit by a biker or car rushing by."What's the matter with you?" he demanded, breathing hard from chasing me and catching me just in time. Gripped in his hands as he shook me, I watched him snarl. "What the fuck is wrong with you?"I wished I could've shouted the same at him. But I hadn't. I could
AnatoliGunsyn became more involved with Masha over the course of the day. He was my go-to in terms of making sure her needs were met, yet whenever he checked in with me around the meetings and such, he hinted at her not entirely warming up to him. Which didn’t surprise me. She had to get used to having a brother before she could adjust to having a sibling caring for her.I was grateful that he stepped in like this. As he did with so many other things, he was my right-hand man, the son I could depend on no matter what. Raising him had been a pleasure. However, I was still at a loss for how to connect with her, especially after she saw me as the reason she was here at all. The reason she was ever targeted.Without my making a move to fix this disconnect between us, I was at a loss for what else I could do right now to reach her. It emphasized how much I had been counting on Estina in that regard. I had been looking at her for the first, crucial step in helping with my daughter’s recove
Estina"That was a rush."I smiled at the nurse who'd just finished helping me with a patient who came just in the nick of time to deliver her babies. Despite the call up to the maternity ward, there was no hope to transport the woman up there in time. Her first daughter was crowning as she was whe
AnatoliOne week passed with Masha in my home. Seven days of her not coming out of her room.She sulked and avoided me, and that was fine by me. Easier, too. She'd be here, safe and fed, and that was all that mattered. Martin arranged her tutoring and provided her with any needs she wanted—clothes
EstinaI had the best of everything a child could want. I was granted the security to study without any other responsibilities holding me back. My father was a judge, my mother, a professor. I did come from an elite background, but I imagined my pride and properness would need to adapt as I learned
