He pulls out of me and I cringe as he places a kiss on my cheek, almost like a kind gesture. "Thanks for that, Mia."
I hate him more than I have hated anyone in my life.
The mattress rises as he gets up off it.
Please leave and never come back. I beg silently.
"I'll be back later" he tells us and I swear I can hear a smirk in his voice.
My entire body begins to shake at the thought. I can’t do this again.
His footsteps sound as he walks away, the door closes and is followed by the sound of the lock being locked.
"Mia?" Lacey's gentle voice is my undoing.
I sob, my body shaking as I do so.
"Oh Mia," she cries, and within seconds she begins to pray. I can hear the
Our Father through my sobs. "Please Hudson, find us before he comes back," she prays as she says “Amen.”
I don't think we'll ever be found. Whoever the hell has us is so confident that Hudson will never find out who he is. My mind goes back to him saying that Hudson was his boss. Fear chokes me once again. If we ever did get out of here, it wouldn’t be safe. Whoever it is works for Hudson, they’ll always be around. I no longer have any hope.
We're going to die here. Whenever he's bored, he's going to kill us.
I'm looking forward to that day, if it means I'll never have to go through what I've just been through again.
I turn to my side and curl up into a ball. The room is filled with my sobs, and I realize that I’m still naked from the waist down.

Hudson
It’s been three days since Martin’s mom passed away in her sleep. He’s been quiet and off grid, which I get but at the same time, we’re in the midst of a war and I can’t have my men going dark. I’ve spoken to Martin once since that night and just like I did with Barney, I confronted him. His reaction was very much similar to Barney’s. Betrayal. He denied it and has vowed to find out who is the one behind it.
“Boss, what are we going to do about Carina? She’s been sitting in that crappy motel room for the past three days,” Jagger asks coming into my office, a smile on his lips, he loves that she’s being made to wait.
“I’ll get around to her. The longer she’s left waiting, left sweating, the quicker she’ll talk. Besides, she’s currently going cold turkey.” I raise my brow at him, I expected more from Jag, I don’t let my men do drugs and that should extend to their women.
A heavy sigh escapes him. “I know boss. I know. It’s why I distanced myself from her.” He shakes his head in disgust, “I can’t believe I got caught up with her.”
I refrain from saying I told you so, there was always something about that girl that set me on edge. “Have you spoken to Martin?”
A dark look comes into his eyes. “No, I haven’t.” He takes a step closer to me and takes a seat. “I know you spoke to him and I don’t know what he said to you for you to look elsewhere. But, I’m not convinced, he is either part of this, or he knows something about it.”
I roll my eyes, not this shit again. “I know you don’t trust him, but you should trust me.”
“I do trust you,” he says instantly. “I just think you’re blindsided with Mia gone.”
“Blindsided?” I growl. “Of course I’m fucking blindsided. Someone took her, Jag, someone close to me took her.” Do I believe Martin? That’s a question for another day. I still don’t trust him, nor do I trust Barney but they’ve both given me enough to give them a reprieve. “Leave Martin to me. Right now, I need to find her, every day she’s gone, the more chance there is that I’m never going to see her alive.”
"I know, Boss, we're going to find her. So what's the next plan of action?"
I already have it set in motion. I’m not telling anyone my plan right now. I have enlisted the help of someone indebted to me, someone outside of my organisation. I've set up a trap, I'm going to draw out the rat. I don't know how long it's going to take, but it is going to happen. I'm just curious how many rats are going to scurry out of the woodwork.
"Right now, we're going to have a long discussion with Carina's father." The widening of Jagger's eyes has me worried about this. I never thought the day would come where I’d question Jagger's loyalty. I'm not sure if push came to shove he'd do what I need him to do in regards to Carina's family. They are a liability, I understand that she is their daughter, but at the same time, Hugo works for me. His loyalty is with me, allowing his daughter the access to drugs, show me that that loyalty is no longer there.
"May I ask why, Boss? What has her father done?"
