CHAPTER 241. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Start moving!Danna tried to open her eyes and remember what had happened, but everything was too blurry. All she felt was a cold sensation running down her spine and the certainty that she had been kidnapped. She noticed her hands were free and opened her eyes, hoping it had all been a nightmare, but she wasn’t that lucky.She remembered entering the church room and seeing her mother on the floor. When she had turned around, the last thing she saw was her former coach’s face before losing consciousness. Then she had woken up in the dark compartment of a train. She remembered Loan’s shouts over a phone call and her own desperate questions about her child, because her baby was the only thing that mattered to her.After that, Emil had again pressed that horrible cloth against her nose, resulting in an unbearable headache and the uncertainty of what he had done to her while she was unconscious. She didn’t even want to think about it; her body hurt too

CHAPTER 242. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Do You Think Anyone’s Coming to Look for You?The problem was that all her weight fell on her pelvis, causing her legs to ache horribly when they weren’t numb... at least she wanted to believe that was the reason for the pain.Emil watched her constantly, ensuring she followed his instructions. Sometimes, when she made a mistake, he would hit her to get her attention and make her start over. Danna obeyed, though fear and pain coursed through her every time the rod struck her.Two hours later, Emil looked at her intently, as if trying to assess her determination. Finally, he smiled.“Now,” he said, offering her a bottle of water and giving her just a sip. “Do you promise to do everything I ask?”Danna nodded.“Yes,” she whispered. “I promise... but you have to get me down from here... I need to go to the bathroom...”“You can do it on yourself. You’re wearing a diaper,” Emil smiled, and Danna felt her stomach churn. “How could you forget you’re a lit

CHAPTER 243. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. A Desperate Attempt“You need to calm down, there’s nothing left to break. If you hurt yourself, we’ll never find Danna…” Jhon warned, and Loan glared at him from across the room, his teeth clenched.“Why don’t you just say it outright? ‘Calm down before you leave your son an orphan without a mother or a father too,’” he growled, tears streaming down his face.“I don’t need to say it, you already know,” Jhon replied firmly. “It’s been two days, the odds aren’t good, and we’re following every lead.”“The tracker... the money suitcase had the bank chip…”“That might have worked if you hadn’t discussed it with Noemi in front of Danna’s mother. But my men followed it and found the suitcase empty in a bathroom at a station almost two hundred miles from here.”Loan held his head in his hands, feeling like he was dying with every passing second. Jhon and his team had done everything to find Danna, but the search had yielded no results.“We’re doing everyth

CHAPTER 244. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Nothing would ever be okay againEven the anchor tried to ask a question at that moment, but Loan’s lips remained sealed, and he stepped down from the podium. Jhon was right. He hadn’t listened. He hadn’t listened to Danna when she had tirelessly told him that her mother wasn’t good. And he hadn’t listened to Jhon when he insisted they shouldn’t hand over the money. Everything that was happening was his fault, so even if it was a little late, if Jhon told him to jump off a bridge, he’d do it without hesitation.They didn’t know if it was the situation or the reward, but Loan’s words didn’t leave anyone indifferent. People began sharing his story on social media, and soon it was circulating everywhere.The hours that followed were torment. The Zurich police organized to handle the calls, but there were too many. Everyone thought they had seen them somewhere, and some even brought in possible suspects tied up in the trunks of their cars.Jhon worked s

CHAPTER 245. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Black HoleJhon walked slowly toward the mailbox on 46th Street in North Point. It was a rundown street surrounded by cheap shops and cafés that reeked of roaches. It was a horrible area on the outskirts of the city, but busy enough that anyone who wanted to go unnoticed could easily do so.The mailbox was yellow, battered, and looked like it had been hit by a car on one side. Big and ugly, like any other mailbox in Zurich. He slipped the manila envelope he was carrying into it, turned the corner, and began to watch. The rest of his five-man team was also on the lookout; Jhon hadn’t let anyone else come along.They were waiting for someone to approach the mailbox, but they definitely didn’t expect someone to come out of it. The kid was about ten years old, kicked the door from inside, and ran out with the envelope in hand.“Do you have him?” Jhon asked through his earpiece.“I’ve got him, boss,” replied the sniper positioned on a nearby rooftop. “He

CHAPTER 246. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Only two things“Do you know why we don’t have a table here?” Jhon asked, kicking the chair to get her attention. “Because we don’t want you to get comfortable, to lean back, to think for even a moment that this will be a friendly interrogation.”Ailsa shook her hands, cuffed to the chair, and looked at him with wide eyes.“I won’t tell you anything until you get me out of here… I won’t say anything at all!” she shouted, realizing that appealing to the constitution, the law, and human rights wouldn’t make any sense there.“Well, I’m going to give you half an hour to scream,” Jhon smiled. “Then I’ll come back, and you won’t like what’s going to happen, Ailsa, just a warning.”Meanwhile, at the city’s main police station, Loan’s man entered the room and gestured for Loan to follow him.“The white van in the parking lot, five minutes,” he said.“Do you have Ailsa? Do you know anything about Danna?” The man replied with an accusatory look, and Loan nodd

CHAPTER 247. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. The WeakestLoan entered the room, deliberately avoiding looking at Ailsa. It was a horrible place to die, but Jhon was wrong in thinking that Loan didn't have the stomach for this.He walked up to the woman and gave her a threatening look."Tell me where Danna is," he demanded.Ailsa didn’t even flinch. Although she was handcuffed to the chair, she looked indifferent, even bored, as if nothing mattered to her."Why should I tell you?" she sneered. "Are you going to pay me now?""No, not a cent more, but unless you tell me exactly what I want to hear," Loan said softly, crouching in front of her, "I’m sure you won’t even get to enjoy what you’ve already taken." The woman smiled, and so did he. "Do you think I don’t have the power to hurt you?" he asked."I don’t have to think it; I know you don’t," Ailsa laughed sarcastically. "If you want to find Danna, you’ll have to let me go. Otherwise, you’ll never know anything about her. Because I assure you,

CHAPTER 248. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. I’m sorry"You can’t give me anything because Emil belongs to her now! That slut has taken him, and she won’t give him back! I’m not telling you where they are! Never!" she spat, her eyes wild, and Loan stood up."Then we’ll do this the hard way."Twenty minutes, hundreds of screams, and six gunshots later, Loan left the room."She says they’re in Dachsen, near the German border," Loan said, handing the gun back to Jhon’s agent. "Behind the golf course, in the old abandoned village."The orders were already given, and the vans were ready, but Jhon pushed the door open to look inside and check on the woman. She had eight bullet holes, all in her limbs, at the joints. She was bleeding, but none of the major arteries had been hit, so she wouldn’t bleed out."Keep her alive until we’re sure the address is correct," Jhon ordered, and his agent went to get a first aid kit.They were about to leave when they heard her scream."You shouldn’t go, Loan!" Ther

CHAPTER 249. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. The will**Two days earlier.**Danna woke up to her new reality. A tourniquet tightened painfully around her arm as she felt the needle digging into the crook of her elbow.The air was thick with a sense of despair. She opened her eyes and saw Emil beside her, about to inject that viscous liquid into her vein. It was the third time he had injected something into her, and Danna felt it was too much.“Please, don’t do it,” Danna’s voice came out as a whisper, tears welling up in her eyes, but he ignored her and continued with his task.“I have to, sweetie. If you don’t wake up, we can’t train,” he smiled, as if injecting adrenaline to wake her up was the most normal thing in the world.Danna felt her heart begin to pound, accelerating to the point of bursting. Emil finished injecting the liquid and kept watching her as every muscle in her body tensed up.She saw the sick desire in his eyes and knew what he was about to do to her.“Now, let’s get you t

CHAPTER 250. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Desperate HoursSeconds passed, then minutes, until Emil’s arms began to fall slowly. Danna could hear his last breath, could feel his last heartbeat. The only thing she couldn’t see was the expression of terror in his eyes, but she didn’t need to because she had felt it with the rest of her body.She didn’t let go. She stayed there, clinging to him until the adrenaline started to leave her system and her muscles gave out completely.Emil fell to the floor, lifeless, and Danna just stared at him as if she hadn’t done it herself. An hour passed, then two, and many more... Danna didn’t even know how many, just that they were enough for someone else to push the door open.“Emil? What’s going on? Why haven’t you come dow...? Ahhhhhhh!”Ailsa’s scream snapped Danna out of that stupor, and she looked at her. She watched her mother run to the body at her feet and turn it over, only to recoil in horror. Emil’s eyes were open, and he was already stiff. He wa
