LOGINB I A N C AAdrian walked in, a beer in one hand, a predatory glint in his eyes. Laura followed behind him, a smirk on her face."Enjoying the quiet?" Adrian asked, walking towards me. "Don't get too used to it. Tomorrow is going to be a big day."He crouched down in front of me, his eyes scanning my face. "I should really kiss you." He slurred, the smell of alcohol on his breath. "Just to let you know what you'll be missing. But the thought of your lips touching my own makes my dick so hard.""Get away from me," I snarled, my heart pounding in my chest.He laughed. "Still got some fight left in you, huh? My sweet Bianca, what am I going to do with you?"He stood up, turning to Laura. "We need to make sure the plan is foolproof. I want you to go to the factory right now. Set up the explosives. Make sure they're connected to the detonator. I want to be able to take out the entire building with the press of a button.""And what are you going to be doing?" Laura asked, a suspicious look
B I A N C A It’s been three days of being locked in this boathouse with Adrian and Laura. Three days of fear, of hunger, of uncertainty. Adrian had tried to force himself on me a few more times, but I always managed to fight him off, to delay him with my words, with my defiance. But I knew I couldn't hold out forever. Then, on the fourth day, something changed. The tension in the boathouse was thick enough to cut with a knife. Adrian had been pacing back and forth for the last hour, a restless energy radiating from him."He's stalling," he snarled, running a hand through his hair. "He's been stalling for days. What the hell is he playing at?""He's just trying to find a way to save himself," Laura said, her voice laced with a bored impatience."No," Adrian said, shaking his head. "It's more than that. I can feel it. He's up to something."His phone buzzed, a message from an unknown number. He snatched it up, a grim expression on his face. He stared at the screen for a long moment,
B I A N C AEvery muscle in my body screamed. The rough ropes bit into my wrists, which were tied together in my lap. The new location was worse than the last. A damp disused boathouse. The air was thick with the smell of rotting wood and stagnant water.Laura sat on a crate opposite me, cleaning her fingernails with the tip of her knife. Adrian in a corner, preparing something that made my stomach growl.I hadn’t eaten in two days, and I feared for my baby. What if something happens to the baby because of their neglect? The thought sent a wave of terror through me.The thought alone made my stomach lurch. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to think of anything but the gnawing hunger. I thought of Damian. His smile. His arms around me. Our baby. It was the only thing keeping me sane."He replied," Adrian said, holding up his phone.Laura looked up from her knife, a predatory glint in her eyes. "And?""He wants proof of life. A face to face meeting," Adrian said, a smirk playing on his l
D A M I A NMy head has been in a frenzy since I last saw Bianca. After I was knocked out in that car, I woke up to the sight of my family looking down at me at the hospital. I immediately asked about Bianca, and they told me she was gone.My blood ran cold. I knew exactly who was behind this. Volkov. And Laura.My men had been searching for her for hours, but they came up with nothing. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.And then, the video came. Watching her, seeing the fear in her eyes, hearing her beg me to save her... it broke me. But it also fueled my rage. I was going to kill him. Slowly."What have they done to her? Who would be so wicked to want to harm her?" Bianca’s mother cried, her face pale with worry.Her father and the rest of my family came together at the house to find a solution to Bianca’s disappearance. Her father tried to keep it all together, but you could see the pain etched on his face.My uncle and sisters were equally worried. Everyone was on edge a
B I A N C AI woke up with a gasp, my head foggy. I was still in the warehouse.But something was different. I was no longer on the floor. I was tied to a wooden chair, my hands bound behind my back, my ankles secured to the chair legs.A rough burlap sack was over my head, scratchy against my skin, smelling of dust and old potatoes. Panic clawed at my throat. I could hear Laura pacing back and forth, her heels clicking on the concrete floor. Adrian was on the phone."He's stalling," Adrian said, his voice laced with frustration. "He's trying to trace the call. He thinks I'm an idiot."I could feel the vibrations of Laura's steps as she walked closer to me. "Let me talk to him," she said. "I'll convince him.""And say what?" Adrian snapped. "That you're going to hurt her if he doesn't comply? He already knows that. We need to be smarter. We need to show him we're serious."He hung up the phone. "It's time," he said.Laura ripped the sack off my head. I blinked, my eyes adjusting to th
B I A N C AMy entire body went rigid. Every ounce of hope I'd just found evaporated, replaced by terror."Laura," I choked out, my hands rising instinctively, my palms forward. "Don't. Please.""Don't what?" She purred, taking a leisurely step closer. The gun in her hand pressed into my stomach. "Don't ruin all our fun? We're just getting to the good part.""Please," The word came out as a ragged sob. "I'm pregnant. The baby... please, just let me go. I won't say anything."I was pleading, bargaining. Pathetic. But the instinct to protect the life inside me overrode every last shred of my pride.A slow venomous smile spread across her face. "Oh, I know you're pregnant. That's the best part." She leaned in, her breath hot against my ear. "I'm going to enjoy this more than you could ever imagine. Taking away the one thing Damian wants more than anything. A family. With you.""Why are you doing this? Why am I suffering for being the one Damian chooses to be with?" I asked, my voice trem
L U C A SI slammed the car door shut, not bothering to open Natalia’s side for her. The engine roared to life, and I peeled away from the curb, the tires screeching in protest."Lucas, slow down! You're going to get us killed," Natalia shrieked, clutching the door handle."Good," I snarled, my eyes
B I A N C AMy eyes burned and my cheeks heated. Anger rose in my chest, but I forced myself to control.Don't lose it, Bianca. You can't. Not here, not now."Hi, Bianca," Natalia said. "Nice to see you again. Lucas has told me a lot about you. All good things, of course."“New hair, I see.” Lucas

B I A N C A"Natalia is back. And I’m making her my wife."My spoon froze halfway between the bowl and my mouth. I stared at Lucas, the seriousness in his eyes as he spoke those words like it was the simplest thing in the world. Realization suddenly hit me like a bucket of ice water, I had made a g
