Chapter 31: Public Recognition

SERAPHINAQuinn didn’t just play me; she outplayed me, and I walked into it.A fire burned in my chest, hot and wild as I slammed the door with a thunderous bang behind me.“Fuck!”She really caught me unaware. I walked into an open trap, and before I realized it, it was too late.I was informed that Quinn escaped, with the help of the driver, in an unregistered vehicle. Meaning, it was pre-planned.“You’re telling me,” I said dangerously, “that you lost her…and you don’t even know who interfered?”The silence confirmed it. I closed my eyes briefly.“Find him,” I said quietly.That quiet was worse than shouting.“And when you do, make sure he doesn’t get a second chance to breathe.”My voice dropped further.“Don’t make the same mistake twice.”When the call ended, the room got silent, but loud with thought.I walked to the table slowly, picking up my glass and taking a sip to steady the rising tension that threaded through me.The realization came clean. She set me up. My lips presse

Chapter 32: Marked

QUINNThey weren’t whispering anymore.They were now watching boldly and openly.It was enough for me to feel the shift move through the hall. I stood near the center now, a glass still resting lightly between my fingers.Ordinarily, I would have been nervous. But I wasn’t. Because I knew the repercussions of the decision I took, and I was ready to dance to the tune.But what was not clear was why some people were staring that much and whispering. I had thought it was because of the divorce news, but it appeared something more was involved.The way their eyes pierced every part of my body, especially my face. As if they were searching for something buried beneath my skin.I shifted behind the two women just in front of me. This time, their voices no longer blended into the background noise; they separated.“...I swear she looks like the one.”“...no, look at her face,” the other responded.“...it’s not just resemblance.”“Then what is it?”“It is her eyes,” she said.I didn’t say a wo

Chapter 33: Caught

QUINNI felt him even before I saw him.The air was suddenly thick and filled with unspoken words.Something nearly invisible had just entered the room, and the air decided nothing else mattered anymore until I caught it.I was still looking around the hall, searching for that thing which took away my ease, when I felt a hand on me.The fingers clamped around my wrist, hard, unyielding and immediate. I turned sharply and met his eyes. Morrison.I did a double-take, my jaw nearly dropping on the ground at the sight of him burning with something more than just anger.“Have you completely lost your mind?” his voice was low but carried urgency. His grip tightened slowly as he pulled me closer from my seat, in a bid to take me out of the room. He didn’t care if the scene attracted attention at that moment.Of course, people noticed it. But as expected, they just watched and didn’t interrupt.“Let’s go,” I said as I freed myself from his grip.Enough eyes had seen me for the night, and i

Chapter 34: Not A Rescue

QUINNParalyzed with fear, my lungs forgot how to work as my eyes snapped from one uniform to the other.Something was wrong. The badges and the way they stood said it all; they were not police.The realization was sharp enough to slice through the panic clawing up in my throat.I stopped struggling or trying to explain. Because something else was louder than my panic.The driver guy wasn’t reacting or freezing like me; he just watched as if he expected it.“Did he save me from danger just to turn me into a more dangerous one?”The question hit my head, but I had no answer.My wrists strained instinctively against the cuffs, metal biting into my skin as one of the men shoved me forward.“Move!”That was the first crack.I nearly developed a panic attack when his cold hands held the back of my neck. My eyes didn’t leave the driver whose identity I didn’t even know but trusted enough to follow.What if this was it? A quiet roadside disappearance with no traces.Joe didn’t reply to my te

Chapter 35: A New Character

QUINNThe car didn’t feel like a car anymore. It felt like a cage.And all of a sudden, the freedom I thought I had wasn’t just gone; it never existed.I didn’t shift in my seat, didn’t let my breathing change or allow my eyes to linger too long on the phone screen.I just quietly observed Xavier, but at the same time watched the road, the pauses and the turns.Because I knew I was no longer safe with him, and I had to watch where I was taken to.The driver didn’t speak or react. He focused and drove, just like Xavier. His hands were steady on the wheel, and his gaze not shifting off the road.Even when Xavier and I spoke, he didn’t shift. But I knew he was monitoring. I saw his ears; they were widely open.My gaze drifted back to the dashboard.The infinity sign.It still sat there, quiet and nearly invisible. But now that I had seen it, it felt less like a symbol and more like a mark.My fingers curled slightly against my lap. Xavier didn’t flinch; his countenance had not changed ei

Chapter 36: Everyone Is Coming

MORRISON“Two hours ago.”The words triggered as my gaze snapped from the screen.“Last seen two hours ago?”My voice was quiet, and that was what made every man in the room straighten.Alex stood across from me with a tablet in his hand. His face was expressionless.“Yes, Sir.”I turned slightly, pacing the room. The air in the surveillance room was heavy with the hum of processors and electronics.It was 3:14 AM. The only illumination came from the massive projector on the wall, displaying footage.“Still in motion,” Alex said, “moving north on Seventh Avenue.”“What is the signal strength?” I asked, taking a sip from the glass in my hand.“Fluctuating. The car is taking the back alleys to avoid the main traffic cams.” Alex responded.Suddenly, the red dot on the screen vanished. Instead of the ‘live tracking’ status, a new text box filled the center of the screen.DEVICE OFFLINE. LAST LOCATION: 40.7128° N, 74.0060° W.STATUS: POWER OFF OR BATTERY REMOVED.TIMESTAMP: 03:17:42 AM.“T

Chapter 37: Hunters

QUINNSomething creaked behind the door.This time, the sound was softer, like whatever was behind it was being extra careful not to alert anyone.Yet it was enough to bring all the nerves in my body to sharp awareness.I stalled in the middle of the motel room, my fingers slowly tightening at my sides, my breathing shallow, controlled, yet heavy.My eyes were fixated on the door.Someone was behind it, I was sure. My stomach tightened, like it was doing flips, sending nauseating waves of anxiety across my body.Who could have traced me back to the motel again? The question forced my brain to pause for a moment.I inhaled slowly. There was no reason to fear anymore. I had seen it all. Fear was no longer new to me.I moved closer to the door anyway. I had to be brave. Standing still was worse.There, it was now still, no footsteps, voice or sound, but the presence was there. They lay still, waiting for me.Quickly, I made a sharp calculation, just in case it would become necessary. My

Chapter 38: Obsession

MORRISONThe door was already open when I arrived.Strange. Because Quinn was never that careless.I stepped into the motel room without hesitation, my gaze sweeping everywhere almost at the same time, absorbing all details.“Hello… anyone in here?” I uttered loudly.When there was no response, I stepped further into the room. Inside, a glass sat on the table.The only chair in the room was slightly angled away from its original position; it was now closer to the window, signalling chaos.For a moment, my heart skipped. Because she could be in danger. Maybe she was attacked inside.“Hello…” I uttered again.This time, I was met with complete silence. No sound at all. An icy feeling took root in my belly, making my knees tremble.Without further ado, I approached the bathroom door and pushed it open. It was devoid of anybody. I looked around, but nothing pointed to anything unusual.But just when I was about to turn and leave, my eyes caught a handkerchief hung loosely on the window, w

Chapter 39: New Revelation

QUINNDawn didn’t just break; it bared its teeth.I felt it in the way the wind cut across my skin as I moved, fast and directionless, trying to run away from everything that was closing in on me.Outside the city, every path felt watched. Each step I took felt like I was walking into a burning furnace. But I didn’t stop, because I couldn’t.My breath came out unevenly as I turned into a quieter street, the noise of the city thinning behind me. The motel and the chaos with it were gone.And now, I had to face whatever the next step I would be taking.They managed to find me everywhere I went. Their eyes lurked closely in the city. The next option was disappearing.The way Morrison once did.Starting my life afresh, just me and my child. Ditching the confusion, subtle attacks and fights. At the same time, beginning the search for my identity.Even as the thoughts formed, I knew it was a lie.Just then, I heard a car door thud.For the first time, I noticed the SUV sitting graciously o

Chapter 40: The Hunters Smile

SERAPHINAThe curtains were drawn halfway, allowing enough morning light to spill into the sitting room of the Finn estate.The marble floors gleamed, and the air smelled faintly of old books and lemon tea.Everything was calm, expensive and glowing.I sat with one leg crossed over the other, a teacup resting delicately between my fingers as I surfed my phone, exchanging texts with one of the men who were supposed to handle Quinn.“She got away.”I read the text once, then again. My shoulders slumped in defeat, my feet dragging along the ground.If it happened once, then it was a mistake, but when it happened again, it became a pattern.At that point, I was forced to accept that Quinn was just ahead.The next message came in. “People were already talking at the event, and eyes raised.”I lowered my gaze briefly, letting silence stretch; perhaps it would calm my mind.No way Quinn was always making it out alone. I know Morrison was slowly pitching tents with her, but I made sure he was
