[Kim’s Point Of View]Once Evy and I evacuated the chief's office and went our separate ways, I went back home.Getting out of my car, I noticed Lucas’s car positioned at the front of the mansion.I footed into the house, going directly to the living room where Ms. Ruth was, attempting to make sure Killian did crawl away from her. I grinned at the sight, promptly striding towards them.The little boy’s giggles replenished the room and his eyes illuminated as soon as they docked on me. I opened my arms extensively and Ms. Ruth let him crawl over to me. He was getting quicker on his knees.I hoisted him in my arms. “Did you miss mummy?” I shifted in to kiss the top of his head while his little hands were moving to tug my hair. “I saw Lucas’s car outside, he’s here?” I explored.Ms. Ruth nodded. “He’s in the garden with Arthur.”I let a slight scowl grace my face. “Can you hold Killian for a little longer? I need to speak with Lucas.” I requested and she nodded shortly.Once Killian was
(Kim's Point of View)Diana cleared her throat, gaining our attention. We sat together in a less busy restaurant and it was 4 in the evening.I didn't know why she called but she claimed to have vital information that would help us have a lead on Mrs. Evans.Ivy was also present, the novelist wanted every part of any mischief she could find herself in.We all looked at Diana, waiting for her to continue as she was taking forever."Well?" Evy had grown impatient as she urged her friend.Diana tsked and shook her head. "It's just so inexplicable that she would do that?""Do what?" Ivy fretted just as impatient.Diana motioned her hand towards us to get close and we all automatically leaned across the table as she whispered."Underground sex trafficking." She dropped the bomb before leaning back and we did the same."What?" Evy enunciated in bafflement. "Where did you hear that from?""At the office today. I overheard these two men discussing a sex trafficking club and how they were char
(Kim's Point of View)When we walked into the club, I was unsure of what to anticipate. It was an easy deal since Diana was more than she was letting out to the world. We had no trouble getting in.The club appeared to be any other normal club, complete with a gambling area and a blooming dance floor filled with the most irritating music I'd ever heard.Everyone in the room, including the server and guests, was decked out in various animal masks.Fortunately, Diana made sure we each had one because we were both wearing masks and dressing to blend in. As I stood there scanning the space, I noticed four stair rails leading to various locations, each with a large guard at the bottom. I noticed that their front pants had guns tucked inside.Ah, there must have been some shit going on up there.“We will depart in separate directions, I suppose,” Diana spoke as she took a glass of wine from a server carrying a tray of wine-filled glasses as she passed us. "Don't take off your mask or reve
(Kim's Point of View)I couldn't take my eyes off the girl as they led me into the bedroom.Why did those grey eyes seem so familiar?"I really appreciate you saving my friends from that asshole." She stated. I scanned her. Her hair was golden blonde and she was dressed similarly to Tina and Bella. The longer I stared, the clearer it became who she was. But there was a nagging doubt in the back of my mind. "How long have you girls been working here?" I grilled.They looked at each other."I've been here for six and a half years, Tina and Bella were just a few months ago. I'm the one in charge of them." She explained. She exuded confidence. She scanned her gaze over me. "You don't seem to belong here, are you a cop?" She had a glimmer of hope in her eyes, but I shattered it when I shook my head. "Then you're one of those married women who come here to have fun." She looked down at my hand with no attempt to disguise the resentment in her tone, but once more I shook my head. She frown
(Evy's Point of View)It took a lot of persuading for Seb to endorse this.As much as it was perilous, I had to do this for myself and everyone he has ever victimized.I parked my car in front of my old home. It was 8 pm, so the sky was shady. I gawked at the mansion, the place that had so many horrendous memories and had given me so much anguish. I shuddered knowing I would be recollecting every memory the thought I trudge into this hellhole.But I have to do this! I was willing to be a repudiation as long as he would finally be gone from my life.I took a deep breath and put up an intrepid front before striding into the house. It was pitch dark but I switched on the lights and instantly balked as my gaze dropped anchor on a figure sitting on a hand chair placed in the heart of the room.I didn't think he would be here so soon."You're finally here, I was thinking you've changed your mind and I am to fetch you myself. Every princess loves being hounded by their princes." A smirk tugg
(Evy's Point of View)"EVY NOW!"At Seb's order, I moved so fast as I threw away the gun to the corner and moved aside while Seb dumbed his empty bottle and tackled Nate to the floor.I moved to the corner, watching as they threw punches at each other. One moment, Nate was on top and the next moment, Seb was at this throat and this went on for a while.It was painful watching. Why weren't the cops here yet? What was taking them so long?!"You piece of shit, I'm going to kill you!" Nate bellowed as he was now on top. He had brought out a knife from nowhere, holding it at Seb's throat, who fought back to keep the blade from his neck but it was getting closer and closer.Promptly, I looked around the room, my gaze landing on the hand chair. I moved fast, grabbed it off it floor, and smashed it on his head so hard that the chair shattered.I let the piece in my hand fall and I moved back with a gasp as Nate went still before he collapsed beside Seb on the floor, a puddle of blood flooding
(Evy's Point of View)"You should eat something." I stared expectantly at Seb with a small assuring smile as I placed a plate of omelets in front of him.Diana had left a while ago."I'm not hungry right now." He gently pushed the plate back to me."If you are angry at me for not telling the truth, then I'm sorry. I just didn't want you to feel like this and right now, this is affecting me more than you think!" I enunciated. I just wanted my affectionate and doting husband back, not this caliginous man sitting in front of me on the kitchen stool.He sighed, then wiped his face with his hands. "I'm not mad at you, Evy, I'm just mad at myself for not seeing or knowing this sooner.""You couldn't have known, she's your Mom." I sat on the stool beside him."I know but I should have known, I lived with her for my whole life. I should have known she was doing so much right under my nose. I feel so guilty." He divulged.I rubbed his back as comfort. "It's not your fault your Mom is pleonasti
(Diana's Point Of View)The airport's transit lounge was less crowded than the rest of the facility, which was bustling with activity.I sat on one of the chairs, a flight ticket to California, Los Angeles. Well, she didn't tell me where she wanted to land.I repeatedly patted my feet on the ground to maintain my composure, but the longer I waited, the tenser I became because the flight would depart in 30 minutes and she still wasn't there.Did she change her mind? Oh, please let her not, please.I tried to find any figure that might stand out as I scanned the area, but I was constantly let down. I sighed in defeat, and just when I dropped my head, a hand suddenly fell on my shoulder, my head bolted up and I jolted up to my feet at the sight of Mrs. Evans, I could barely recognize her with the amount of clothing she had on. She took off her glasses."Mummy!" Jasper cries out, and I look down at my five-year-old son. He had tears in his eyes and just when he was about to cross over to
