FELIX.There’s been nothing.Brynn has been missing for more than two days, and there’s been no news of it. Not on the internet. Not on the TV screens and not in newspapers.Considering who she is, I expected otherwise, but there’s no change. Everyone is living their lives like one of them hasn’t just been taken. Even her school.I stand next to the wall and watch students walk by and laugh. Loud chattering. Couples doing weird stuff against their lockers. Some of these guys are her classmates and no doubt every single one of them in here knows of her, yet they’re living and acting like something hasn’t gone wrong. I know most of them probably can’t do anything even if they learn of it, but watching the smile on their faces and their loud laughs pisses me off for a reason.Brynn Addams is missing. The world should be in a damn upheaval; not so bright, with so much happiness overflowing."Hello.""Not interested," I say without looking at the one in front of me, and I hear her scoff bef

BRYNN."Shocked?" She laughs as she grabs the chair from the middle and pulls it to sit before me. She crosses her arms to her chest and cocks her head, “Not that much of a resemblance now that I’m looking at you this close.”"Who the fuck are you?" I say through clenched teeth as I glare at her and she clicks her tongue. She uncrosses her arms and leans forward in her seat, stretching her back till there are only inches between our faces and we’re sharing the same irritated breaths. "Who I am, you ask? I answered that. I’m your sister."Is she sick?When I don’t respond and stare at her the way I think, she laughs loudly, throwing her entire body to the back with her head falling over her neck.The sound of her laughter echoes through the empty room for long minutes, annoyingly the only sound I can hear before it eventually dies down, and she drops her head, her dark eyes meeting mine. “I guess Dante didn’t tell you all about family history, did he?”"Is this some kind of sick game?"

BRYNN.Despite it being almost midnight, everyone was waiting for my arrival. My family and my friends. Mr Smith and everyone else who works for us. When I walked through the door, it felt more like a surprise celebration than a rescue from a kidnapping and the love and concern I’m shown quickly heals the isolation I’ve suffered to what I’ve learned to be the past three days."Are you okay?""That’s like the millionth time you’ve asked that question tonight. I told you I’m fine." I say, and Asher nods. "I’m sorry. I guess you can say I’m still in shock from everything and although you look okay and you’ve said the words to everyone; I still want to make sure you’re truly okay.""I’m fine, Asher. And I appreciate you coming to my rescue. Though you didn’t need to."He looks offended by my words, and he turns on his side. "What do you mean by that? Of course, I needed to." When I stay silent, he shuffles closer till there’s barely any space left between us. "I know you said we can be out

FELIX.I smile as I open my eyes and lift them to the chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The light from it sparkles at me, and I sigh contentedly before turning on my side. The space next to me is empty and the imprint of her body tells me she hasn’t been up for too long.I move my hand across the space, remembering how she was right there. I spent the night at Brynn’s, and she was so close to me when I woke up around dawn. She was snuggled into my chest and I wrapped my arms around her, cuddling her through the rest of her sleep. I don’t take myself as the cuddly type of guy, but having Brynn all curled in my arms with her head against my chest, the sound of her slow breathing, the only noise that could be heard between us was the most heartwarming thing. The night—though quite little to my liking—might be the best I’ve spent in a while. After having sleeping nights worrying about her kidnapping, having her in my arms in her sleep felt like being given a chance to breathe properly a

BRYNN.I meet Felix’s eyes after recognizing Noah’s voice before pushing him off me. He steps back for me to drop down from the sink, his hands immediately moving to my hips to steady me and I grab the robe off the hanger.Knowing Noah, he won’t leave my room until he’s seen me for whatever he’s here for and we can’t stay here forever.I turn to Felix and press a finger to my lips, asking him to keep quiet before making for the door. I’m about to turn the knob when I’m suddenly grabbed from behind, hands squeezing my breasts through the fabric of the white robe I have on."Felix!" I seethe over my shoulder when he wraps his other hand around my waist, keeping me to him. "You have to let go. I need to—""Brynn," Noah calls from inside my room, and I curse under my breath, glaring at Felix over my shoulder before slowly opening the door, enough for my head to move through the space. I keep the rest of my body hidden behind the door with Felix, who’s still squeezing my breasts, the hand o
