Chapter 1

I woke up as the ray of sunlight fell on my eyelids. Opening my eyes gingery I looked at Alex still sleeping peacefully. I breathed in relief. Fortunately, today was one among those days when I don't wake him up in the middle of the night due to my constant screaming.

Chapter 2

I grabbed the Private Investigator by his throat and seethed at him, my eyes burning with pure rage at the repeated failure, "What the hell are you good for if you can't find a woman, with no resources whatsoever to hide herself from one of the best investigating team."

Chapter 3

"What happend slut, I told you to dance like the whore you are". Agustin's voice resonated in my ears, making me flinch. My hands shaking in fear. "Please Agustin don't do this to me. I beg of you-" I was cut off before I could even complete my sentence.

Chapter 7

Prologue
