The air between us felt like it could combust.

There was no more space left to misunderstand each other. No more careful steps. No more pretending this was accidental.

Zane’s hands framed my face as he kissed me again — slower now, but no less consuming. His mouth moved with intention, with hunger that had been restrained for too long. It wasn’t reckless. It was deliberate.

And that made it more dangerous.

My fingers slid into his hair, tugging gently, needing something solid to anchor myself t

    Alex's room was nothing like the dark cell.It was spacious.Clean.Almost elegant.Dark oak furniture lined the walls, while a large window overlooked the sprawling compound outside. Thick curtains framed the glass, and a king-sized bed dominated the center of the room. A bookshelf occupied one corner, and a heavy mahogany desk sat near the window, scattered with maps, folders, and what looked like encrypted radios.The contrast unsettled me.Only an hour ago, I had been locked in a room barely large enough to stretch my legs.Now...I was standing inside what looked like a guest suite.Or a prison with softer walls.The guard who escorted me inside untied the rope around my wrists."The boss said you're staying here now."Without another word, he walked out.The door clicked shut.Not locked.Just closed.I stared at it for several long seconds before slowly turning around.Alex stood near the window, one hand tucked into his pocket, the other holding a glass of whiskey.His sharp e

    The air between us felt dangerously thin.“You’re playing a risky game,” Alex said quietly.His voice had lowered.Roughened slightly.I swallowed carefully, forcing confidence I didn’t entirely feel.“Maybe I learned from the people around me.”His eyes searched mine intensely.Like he was trying to decide whether this was manipulation…Or desperation.Maybe it was both.“You think seducing me will save you?” he asked.“I think everyone wants something.”“And you think you can give me mine.”The way he said it sent heat crawling up my spine despite the situation.Because there was no denying it now.He wanted me.The realization was terrifying.But useful.I stood slowly from the mattress, careful not to move too suddenly.His eyes tracked every movement.Every inch.The room suddenly felt far too small for both of us.“I don’t want to die here, Alex,” I said softly.Something flickered in his expression at the honesty in my voice.Real emotion this time.Not manipulation.Fear.He n

    A chill crawled down my spine.I already knew where this was heading before he even said it.He crouched slightly until we were eye level again.And this time, there was no amusement in his face.Only intent.“Tell me about Zane Wilde’s operations.”My stomach twisted instantly.“No.”The refusal came automatically.Immediate.His expression remained unreadable.“You should think carefully before answering.”“I already did.”A flicker of irritation crossed his face.“You’re loyal to a man who discarded you.”“He didn’t discard me.”Even now, some stubborn part of me defended him instinctively.Pathetic.The captor seemed to think so too.“Didn’t he?” he asked quietly.I looked away.Because suddenly…I didn’t know.The room fell silent again.Then he spoke once more, voice calmer now.“You know things.”“I handle schedules.”“You rerouted shipments.”My breath caught.His eyes locked onto mine instantly.“There it is,” he murmured.Fear slid down my spine.How much did they know?How

    The room seemed to shrink around me.Every breath felt tighter.Every second heavier.Because suddenly, this wasn’t just about me anymore.It was about Zane.About what he would do.What he would risk.What he would destroy.And deep down...I knew one thing with terrifying certainty.Zane wasn’t the type of man to negotiate.He was the type to retaliate.And when he did…There would be consequences.Deadly ones.The man straightened, stepping back toward the door.As if our conversation had already served its purpose.As if I was already where he needed me to be.He paused just before opening it.And glanced back at me one last time.“If I were you,” he said calmly, “I’d hope he comes quickly.”Then he opened the door.Stepped out.And just like that...I was alone again.----The days blurred together after that.Not because they passed quickly.Because they passed painfully.Slow enough to feel every hour.Every silence.Every moment of uncertainty clawing through me.The room neve

    It happened fast.Too fast.A sound behind me.Movement.Not ours.Not expected.My heart slammed against my ribs.I turned, and they were already there.Three men.Then five.Emerging from the shadows like they had been waiting.Watching.Anticipating.“You’re not supposed to be here,” one of them said coldly.My breath caught.They knew.Not just that I was there, but that I shouldn’t have been.Which meant, this wasn’t random.This was a trap.And I had walked straight into it.My mind raced.Options.Escape routes.But it was too late.One step back, and a hand grabbed my arm.Firm.Unyielding.Another moved in behind me.Blocking.Cutting off any chance of escape.Panic surged through me, but I forced it down.Think.Move.Act.But before I could, cold metal pressed lightly against my side.A warning.“Don’t,” the voice behind me said.I froze.My pulse roared in my ears.“You’re coming with us.”The words settled like ice.This wasn’t just a capture.This was leverage.And I had

    The plan didn’t begin with chaos.It began with precision.For the first two days, everything moved like clockwork.Quietly.Seamlessly.Almost… too smoothly.I stayed exactly where Zane placed me within the operation—no improvisation, no unnecessary risks, just calculated execution. Routes were followed, timings were exact, and every small piece I handled fit neatly into the larger picture he had built.At first, the men watched me.Closely.Waiting for hesitation.For fear.For mistakes.But none came.I didn’t flinch.Didn’t question.Didn’t slow them down.And slowly…That watchfulness shifted.From doubt to acknowledgment.From acknowledgment, to something close to respect.And Zane noticed.Of course he did.He always noticed.The first time it showed was subtle.A glance.Held half a second longer than necessary.Then a nod across the room when I completed a timing relay perfectly.Later, when I corrected a minor route overlap before it became a problem, one of his men muttered
