“You’re a fast learner when you want to be. That’s correct. And because I don’t want people to be unhappy with you, I’ll have to try the goods.” I watch as he unzips his jeans, the sound filling the quiet room as he stares directly at me.

I knew it was coming. His friends had already left their mark on me. I close my eyes, feeling the tension in my body rise as I try to push away the thoughts of what is coming next.

“Now, open your mouth for me, whore.”

“Fuck you,” I spit out.

He leans in and whispers, “I’d rather fuck you, but if you don’t do as I say, I’ll have to give you more drugs.”

My chest feels tight, and I can’t stop the sobs that wrack my body. As I attempt to kick him with my legs, he swiftly intercepts them, and I suddenly feel the cold metal of the chains wrapping around my ankles, restricting my movements.

“Fight me however you want. I love when my whores are feisty.” I can hardly bear to watch as he runs his hands up and down his shaft. “Open your fucking mouth.”

The force of his slap when I refuse is enough to make my head throb painfully.

“Fine, drugs it is.” He steps out of the room but returns shortly after with a syringe in his hand, which I assume is filled with some sort of concoction to knock me out. I would prefer that to being awake for whatever he has in store for me.

I barely have time to register the sharp sting in my neck before my eyelids grow heavy and begin to drop.

I’ll die here. I know I will. I won’t let them sell me.

I’m so sorry.

Chapter 1

Aidan

Present

As I readjust my mask, I can’t help but notice the sweat beads forming on the bastard’s forehead bound to the chair in front of me. Good. He better be scared.

While I play with my gun, I catch a mischievous glint in Scott’s eyes beneath his mask. This fucker is as insane as me. I can’t remember a day where he hasn’t been in my life.

Scott and I have spent eight years in the military together, trying to escape my future in my father's business and The Twelve. He would have followed me no matter what my choice would have been. The only joy I had was his sister. I fell hard for her. I thought he would have had my balls on a platter, but surprisingly, he was happy for us despite our age difference.

But everything changed eight years ago when we returned from our last mission. I’ll remember Blakely's panicked call, followed by my da’s, until the day I die.

“Hey Ti?—”

“Are you with her?” Her voice is strained with anxiety.

“With whom?” I ask, feeling confused.

“Your sister.” Her breath is coming in short gasps as she struggles to keep up. “Aidan, she was supposed to meet me an hour ago, and she’s still not here. We planned this three days ago.”

“Have you tried to call her?” I don’t even know why I’m asking. Of course, she did. And it’s unusual for my sister to go this long without sharing any news. Two days is her max.

“Aye. Her phone is turned off. Ade, she’s never late, and she doesn’t forget. She always picks up when I call her. That’s our rule. Always answer to each other.”

“Okay, just breathe for me.” Scott is giving me a questioning look, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. I hear her do as I say. “Good girl. Now, do you know where she was before she was supposed to meet you?”

“She was with her boyfriend.” I can sense the panic in her voice.

Fuck. I never liked the guy. He doesn’t seem right. I put my phone on speaker for Scott to hear.

“Okay. Do you know where?”

“No. We avoid talking about him. She knows I despise the guy, so we don’t bring him up to avoid conflict. Aidan, I don’t feel right about it. Something is wrong. I can feel it in my bones.”
