EMILIA'S POV

My throat went dry instantly as I struggled not to freak out from the mere sound of her voice.

"Cassandra?"

I thought I had gotten over them a long time ago, but just hearing her voice made me realize just how little I have healed and how much trauma I was living with daily.

She chuckled softly from the other end, sounding very pleased, like she had been waiting for me to recognize her. Even her laugh was still the same, similar to that of the girl I have called my best friend f

    Julian’s POVMy mind refused to slow down as I drove to the police station. The detective’s words kept repeating inside my head. For weeks we had been searching for answers.Every clue led to another question and even truth seemed to uncover another lie and now he was finally ready to speak.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. This was the breakthrough we had all been expecting. But something didn’t feel quite right.Why had he suddenly changed his mind? A man who had fought so hard to protect his secrets, he couldn’t just wake up and decide to confess all of a sudden.Something must have changed his mind and frightened him. I just hoped it wasn’t too late. Emilia’s image flashed through my mind. I could see the tears on his face and the hopelessness in her expression and the way she looked at me right before I left.I had promised her that I would fix things for her and I intended to keep that promise to her.I parked outside the police station and hurried into the house.

    Julian’s POVI had never driven so fast and carelessly in my life before. The moment I saw the news alert on my phone, my heart dropped into my stomach.Every television channel was showing the same clip. Emilia standing behind the podium. Her hands were shaking and her voice broke as she spoke.Seconds later, I watched as she ran away from the room with tears streaming down her face.The clip replayed many times and it felt like a knife was being twisted in my chest.She should never have been put though something like that. She had survived being kidnapped and the weeks of fear and nightmares no one should never even experience.And now the the world wanted her to relieve that moment again just for their satisfaction.It made me sick.Immediately I got to the venue, the security recognized me and let me in instantly.I walked into the building and immediately I sighted her. She was sitting on the floor, her knees pulled tightly against her chest. Her face buried in her hands and her

    Emilia’s POV“I don’t think I’m ready for this yet”, I whispered softly as I stared at my reflection in the dressing room mirror.My pr manager stood behind me holding a folder I was supposed to read. Two members of my security team waited outside.Everyone looked extremely nervous and I couldn’t even blame them. This wasn’t just a press conference. I was expected to relieve the worst days of my life in front of a lot of people.“I know today is very difficult for you but the public has been waiting for your statement”, my pr manager said softly.“But I already gave one to the police”, I said, lowering my head.But I knew this one was different, This wasn’t about the investigation anymore but about satisfying public curiosity.A lot of people wanted details and wanted to hear the story from me and unfortunately it had to come from me.“We’ll just keep it short”, my pr manger said as she handed me the statement.I looked down at the page. It was just a few paragraphs with dates. It als

    JULIAN'S POV“It's obvious that this man isn't going to tell us anything; let's just let him be and go home for now. By the time he suffers in pay, he will be left with no reason but to call us back,” I said. “I don't think you know that there is a poison in that knife she used in stabbing you. The poison will work slowly, but if you speak now, there would still be time for you to live,” Gifford said. Theodore laughed. “I know you're saying this just to scare me.”“You won't believe it until it's too late,” Gifford responded. “Let's just leave; I don't think I have any space to banter words with him again,” Emilia added. “By the time we realize what is going on, your life would have been miserable, and you would be already wishing for death. There is still lots of time for you to come back, but you are still playing doubles. I just pity how your future would be,” I said and immediately left with Emilia and Gifford. “I will catch up with you guys,” I muttered. I went to the guard

    EMILIA'S POV“It's about time you stop all this drama, okay? The more you struggle, the worse your wound becomes. I understand you really need to avoid this, but you are stuck with nowhere, and you aren't going to go off it despite how hard you try. There is no way out. The earlier you know it, the better for you,” Gifford said, referring to Theodore. “You are making things hard for me. How do you expect me to talk in this pain? I'm going through hell now,” Theodore shouted. “Now you are the one pleading for mercy, right? But I was the one begging you several times, but you couldn't even give me a listening ear. Numerous times I pleaded with you, but you ignored me and still continued maltreating me despite all the relationship we shared together,” I told, feeling emotional. “I understand why you were doing all of this to yourself, and I know that you really need your help. Why don't you ask for it, and it should be rendered freely to you?” Gifford said? “Yes, I need help, and the

    EMILIA'S POVI watched Julian as he stood up for me, but this wasn't what I wanted. I want to speak for myself and do it my way. That was the perfect way for me to win and gather all the information I needed from him at once. “All of this act you are playing isn't going to help you. Just be reasonable, at least for once in your life; it would be more beneficial to you,” I said politely. “You haven't even told me the content of this call yet to want me to act just the way you want. I know I am a prisoner, but I still have some respect, which should be left for me. Oh, Don, you have to control me the way you want. I am not some kind of slave to you. I still deserve a lot of respect,” Theodore yelled. “You're not but an empty thing. You really didn't know you would end up like this, right?” I smiled. “Not at all. This was going to be inheriting all of your wealth,” Theodore laughed. “What I really want to understand first is how do you feel doing these things to me? I don't know whe
