Lydia Rhys looked around the crowd to look for Roman but couldn’t find him. It had been about an hour since he had left the party, and he still hadn’t returned. She was starting to get worried. Roman had left in a hurry for a reason she knew nothing about. He wouldn’t tell her. The crowd at the party was starting to reduce. Everybody was tired and began leaving slowly. Lydia didn’t know what to do. Where the hell was Roman and what was he doing?Lydia moved away from the crowd and drank the last of her champagne. She was tired of waiting. She was going to look for Roman. She didn’t care if he got mad at her for interrupting. He always found a way to get mad at her anyway. This time wasn’t going to be any different. Lydia placed the glass of champagne on a moving tray and wiped her lips dry. She headed out of the party and stepped into the cold night. All the paparazzi that had flooded the event at the beginning were gone now. The red carpet which had been buzzing a few hours ago was

Lydia Rhys stepped into the digital room as she zipped up her leather overall. It was skin-tight black overall which complimented her short black hair making her look like a spy. Ben was behind the monitor screen trying to track down where Roman was being kept. He couldn’t believe that Roman could do something so stupid. How had he managed to be captured? Ben was still stunned. At check when Lydia had told him Roman had been taken, he hadn’t believed her until she came home. Only the. Did he figure out how serious this was? “Tell me you’ve found him, Ben,” Lydia said, coming to stand behind him. She wore a pair of gloves that matched her attire for tonight. Ben didn’t respond as he moved his fingers on the keyboard trying to locate where Roman had been captured. “Not yet,” Ben replied. “I’m still trying to pinpoint his location.”Lydia sighed and folded her arm frustrated that she had to wait. “Doesn’t he have his tracker on him?” She asked. “He does, Lydia. Patience,” Ben said.

Roman Lacroix woke up to a splitting headache. He looked around and realized he was in his room. It was warm and cozy. Roman missed this feeling. He didn’t know he would one day appreciate the comfort of his bed. Being locked up in a room where it was cold and dark was supposed to be traumatizing. But he was Roman Lacroix. Nothing fazed him easily. The Viper Don had gotten to him easily. Roman still found it hard to believe that he had been caught easily by the cartel. It was surreal to him. He knew they had been lucky to get him. He had to prevent that from happening next time, but he couldn’t do anything about that presently. He was bedridden. Roman sighed as he ran his fingers through his bed. He had been tortured by the cartel to give off information about Selena. Selena wasn’t safe anymore. He hoped that she would come to terms with that. The cartel that had killed her father was after her, and Roman had made a promise to Jermaine to take care of his daughter, and he was going

Roman was staring at the ceiling when a knock came on the door. His eyes fell to the door waiting to see who that would be. A few seconds later, the door swung open and Ben stepped into the room closing the door behind him. When Ben turned to him, he smiled at him. Unfortunately for Roman, he wasn’t in the mood for one. “How are you feeling, Roman?” Ben asked as he came to his bed. He was dressed in a black turtleneck neck sweater and a pair of black jeans. His dirty blonde hair was combed neatly and he had his hands in his pockets. Roman didn’t know what to say to him. How was he feeling? He felt useless. He felt stupid. Though this was just a setback, Roman felt he could have prevented it easily. His curiosity had gotten the best of him. Now all he could do was lay on the bed and wait till he could walk again. It had been a week since the incident, and it had been hell. The only time he got out of bed was when he went to the bathroom it had a shower. His wounds were healing, but h

Lydia Rhys wasn’t a fan of Selena Rhoades, so it was a surprise when her smile turned into a frown at the sight of her. They all looked at each other as silence engulfed them. Roman was surprised to see Selena. It was a relief to see that she was safe. He hadn’t heard from her since he had saved her. Roman had told her to stay home until it was safe to go back out. But she had refused. She had continued going to college risking her safety each time she stepped out of the house. Roman, who had tried his best to reason with her, stopped doing so. If she wasn’t going to listen, then there was no point trying to talk to her. “You came back?” He asked. Lydia clenched her jaws as she saw her. Selena’s eyes went to Lydia. She was aware of the fact that Lydia wasn’t her biggest fan. She was the only person who made her uncomfortable staying here, that was why she majorly stayed over at her friend’s apartment. Selena couldn’t figure out why she hated her, but she was certain it had something
