The day went by with Hope trying to find a way to get out of the house, but in her heart, she already knew it was useless. The maids were ordered to keep an eye on her inside the mansion and provide everything that was needed including clothes and other feminine things. She could not help but accept that whatever had happened, Varys had made sure that she was not deprived of everything, except for privacy. The guards were standing by every door outside the mansion. She was stuck with no way out and did not even know why Ethan had sent her over to Varys so easily.Huffing aloud in ang

Varys' hand instantly pulled the dress back up, covering her breasts, moved to stand in front of her, covering her."What the fuck?!" he said in a low, murderous tone. His eyes shooting daggers at the man who literally looked like he was shivering."I... I am so sorry, boss." he stuttered, immediately realizing he had made a big, big mistake, "I did not know you had a lady with you.""Come here." Varys ordered menacingly.

Max pulled out the keys from the ignition after leaving the Harley outside the office. His hand pulled out his phone to check for the calls. His steps were fast, his cowboy boots walking on the white marble floor of the building almost silently. Shawn had been of more use than he looked like. But the thing was that he did not know what to think of Hope getting kidnapped. He did not know what condition she was in with Varys. His fist clenched tight at the thought, a vein in his jaw jumping at the mere thought. She was his responsibility. And it had been days since he had been unable to find her! Varys had planned out each move very smartly and left a clean slate behind, with no trace of Hope anywhere to be found.

Hope stayed quiet and glanced away from him. She wanted to say she was enjoying this, but admitting anything would be a betrayal. She couldn't just forget what he was or who he was so easily. The blood might be washed off, but it still stained her mind."Hope?" Varys pointed out across the park where a family of ducks paddled through the water. "I brought some bread, let's go feed the ducks. You still like that, right?" the corners of his lip twitched, and he bit his lip as he searched her face."You can't feed them that," Hope scolded as she glanced away from him. Damn him for being hopeful. She didn't need to deal with that. "Huh?" Vary's eyebrows furrowed. "Why not?""You'll hurt the ducks," she replied. She glanced around the park again and noticed a tiny shack across the lake. The feed name was proudly displayed across the side in bold red font. "There, you can get food for them there."Varys nodded and held out his hand to her. "Let's g

Varys' voice haunted Max even in his waking moments. So what if he'd been childhood acquaintances with Hope? That wasn't about to stop Max from finding her and getting her away from that madman, that killer.How could he live himself if he left her there?Max glanced up as he heard the click of a shoe on his dummy tile. The office was empty except for him, so that left only one answer; intruders.
