Enzo:

I guess my assumption that my board would stay quiet till the end of the week was wrong. It had barely been twenty-four hours since their requests were sent, and they were already bugging me about processing. Their greed really knew no bounds. I closed the messages and closed my laptop. The paper I had found in the picture was sitting on the table, and my notebook was open beside it.

Another night of unsuccessful decoding. My eyes burned, and my fingers had small bumps from gripping my p

    Tabitha:The table was set beautifully. The lights were out, and scented candles were lit, filling the dining area with a soft glow. For a moment, I was genuinely taken away. The food smelled delicious, and each breath made my mouth water. “You like it?” Collin asked, tucking my hair behind my shoulder. I made sure that it was top-notch and we could enjoy this lovely feast together. He leaned in, and his breath against my neck made me jump. I caught the scowl before it vanished. “But before we eat,” he took my hand and pulled me in closer, but I stopped myself with a hand on his chest, “we need to work up an appetite first. Come.”He took me through another door–one of the doors that the guards stood by–and my jaw dropped to the floor. It was a living room. It was decorated. The chandelier was made out of glass that shone like fire jewels in the dim light. It was amazing. “You like it?” he asked, stroking my hair and making me jump. “Yes,” I moved away, feeling goosebumps dot my

    Tabitha:“We’ll soon be done, dear… there we go. What do you think?”I looked at myself in the mirror, and I wasn’t entirely sure of how to feel.The chains hung down my body, clinking softly any time I moved; my back had been oiled, and it shone like polished ivory and had even been decorated with a bit of body glitter, and my hair was in long, full curls. I looked beautiful, but this wasn’t the person that I wanted to look beautiful for. I hated it. I hated that I was being dressed in such expensive clothes just to feed the hungry eyes of a member of the Mafia. I hated that I wanted to live so much and these were the ridiculous things that I had to put up with just so that I wouldn’t have a gun put to the side of my head. “So, do you like it?” The maid asked again, smiling, even though I knew that it was forced. “I love it. I look beautiful.” I spun around and smiled. The words were honest, but not my face. “Excellent. I will be leaving you then. The Consigliere will be coming so

    Enzo: I was more than glad to see that the hospital was just as I had left it: security operatives were swarming every inch of the place. A few of them saw me and nodded politely. I nodded back, managing a stiff smile. I was exhausted, my eyes burned and my head was throbbing. My phone had been in my pocket all day, and I flinched every time it made a sound; my heart skipped a beat and shattered to the floor every time I opened it, and it wasn’t an unknown number. “Miss Sandy and Mr. Bolden,” I said to the lady at the front desk. She smiled and typed at the keyboard as she pulled up their records. “And you are?” she asked. “Mr. Ross. I should be on the approved visitors list for both of them.” “And right you are. They are in…” “I know where they are,” I cut her off, with a sigh. “Thank you.” I dragged myself up the stairs, walking without actually thinking about it. What was that monster doing to Tabitha? Was she hurt? Was she even still alive? My heart raced. She had to b

    Tabitha:We spent the rest of the day in Collins' room. I ate the soup, and a few minutes later, a maid came and took the bowl away. Collin handed me a stack of novels, and we sat down there quietly, reading, until lunch was brought to us.As much as I was scared of him, being in a place with natural light and some semblance to the outside world was a lot better than being cooped up in my stuffy room. Now and then, I would look up from my book to steal glimpses of him reading. He barely moved, his eyes moving clearly across each line, smiling at some parts, frowning at some, but whatever the case, he was thoroughly enjoying himself. A few times, he met my gaze and I quickly looked away back into my book but often at times, I'd catch him smiling .The titles were interesting, though half of the ones he gave me were romance or some murder mystery that involved romance and even though I was scared out of my wits being captured by the mafia, I still couldn't help going red whenever I rea

    Enzo: I ran my hand down my face, and I exhaled so loudly. My back felt so stiff, and I could almost hear them creaking as I moved. Nora had been all over the place, and just an hour ago, she had sent me venues for the launch. I was still yet to decide. I still had to ask questions, and I was drained. Half the time, I thought of passing the work to her, but she already had enough on her plate due to my absence. There was a knock at my door, and I groaned and ran my hands down my face again. It was almost closing time. Who the hell could be looking for me at this hour? “Come in.” The door opened immediately, and Natasha walked in, smiling. “Enzo, happy to have you back. Where have you been hiding this entire time?” She walked and sat in the chair in front of my desk, smiling, crossing her legs so that her already short skirt rode up even higher on her thigh. “What do you want, Natasha?” I groaned, covering my face in my hands. “You know that you could have emailed me.” “Yeah

    Tabitha:I intentionally stayed longer in the bathroom, scared to come out to see Collin and see whatever he was doing. I still didn't understand why he brought me to his room instead of letting me go to mine.My body shuddered as I remembered all the times he had touched me, whispered in my ear, said I was intriguing or said things that highlighted how much he lusted after me. If anything, this was possibly an opportunity for him to have his way with me, and there was no way in hell that I was going to allow that.I slowly slipped into my new clothes while I watched myself in the bathroom mirror. I looked paler, with dark circles slowly forming under my eyes. My lips had lost their colour from being in such a cold place for so long, and even though I was eating, I looked leaner than before.I threw the shirt over my head and pulled on the shorts and just stood there, looking around the bathroom and up at the skylight. If only there was a hatchet or a door or something, I would escape

    Enzo Ross: She looked so small sitting there, oversized T-shirt swallowing her frame, cheeks flushed from a whole lot of emotions. Embarrassment? Pain? Maybe both, maybe more. I picked up another piece of chicken and held the fork out to her. “Open.” Her lips parted just a bit hesitant this

    Tabitha: I froze, the voice. It was deep, rough, and familiar. I was alone. At least, I was supposed to be. I turned, heart hammering, still clutching my burning hands mid-air. The towel slipped loose with the movement. I gasped and reached out to it out of instinct, but it was too late.

    Tabitha: I dragged a box across the glossy floor and huffed. “Be careful with that one!” I called out, watching one of the movers juggle my vanity mirror like it was a football. “It’s glass, not a damn frisbee.” “Sorry, Miss Hyest,” the young lad muttered, adjusting his grip. I sighed, wipin

    Tabitha:“I had no idea that you were coming for breakfast, Mr. Patterson. Enzo didn’t mention it when he left.”He took some bacon from the stack that Edwardo had made for us and chewed silently. He was a nice man. He had a lot of stories, and he was a good listener. He was taking another bite of
