Survival Chapter 1 PROLOGUE

She felt the sweat dripping down her lower back. The room was suddenly burning with heat. Something moved next to her and she shrieked. She almost screamed when she heard a voice. A familiar one. she had forgotten she wasn't alone.

"We are all going to die," She sobbed. From the small cut on the window above us, she saw her shivering.Her own voice sounded strange even to her ears. She didn't know why she said that, because she was also scared and finding a way out seemed almost impossible. But one of them needed to be strong for the other.

"Do you hear that?" Hanna shrieked.

"Hear what?" she asked.

"Shhh." That was when she heard the footsteps. It sounded light, but as it came nearer it became more of a thud. A sound of keys being jumbled. A door creaked.

Her heart was pounding. They moved closer and clung to each other. None of them wanted to be left alone with the scary thing coming in. It was like together they were safe.

The door finally opened wide and light flooded the room. The sun pierced directly at them. She squirmed our eyes and covered it with her hand. Two people entered the room. One was a young boy and the other was a heavily built man. That was possibly why she had heard light and heavy footsteps, she thought.

"Please don't hurt us. We can give you so much money. Just call our parents. We swear we won't turn you in. Please," Hanna cried.

"Wha make ya think we want ya money?" The man huffed.

"James, keep a lookout on them. Keep the food. We won want them dyin yet." He smirked. She felt sick.

The boy called James kept the food on the ground and turned to leave with the man.

They cried louder. "Please leave us alone! Please!"

"Shut up!" The man roared. They immediately became silent.

"Let's go son." They left and locked the door, leaving the upper part partly open. Perhaps, for James to see what they were doing.

It was then she looked around the room. It was a small room. With no furniture. Bare and empty. The walls were gray and were all cracked. The floor had also become beige due to lack of care. There was a funny smell in the room. I wonder what this room is for, she thought.

"Hmpf. Of course this is where they stuff people. To murder them anytime they want to." She didn't know that she let her thought out loud. The thought of people once being here made her stomach churn. What did they possibly do with them?

They stayed quiet for what seemed like hours. James would peek in now and then. He warned them to eat the food. But none of them even looked at it. They didn't know what they put in there. At last he gave up telling them to eat, saying it didn't even matter whether they ate or not, which frightened them the more. Sometimes, one of them would slowly get up and look through the upper part of the door. James would still be sitting there. They couldn't escape through it because it had metal bars designed across it.

"I feel weak Jameela,"

For the first time, she looked at her very well. Her usual sparkly eyes that always had eyeliner and different colours of eyeshadow because Hanna was always the one to experiment had drastically changed. Her eyes looked red and puffy from the cries. Her caremel coloured hair had become ruffled and full of dirt. She looked really weak. Jameela knew she looked like that too. Maybe even worse.

"I know Hanna. Our friends and teachers would definitely notice us missing and call for help, I'm sure. InshaAllah we will get out of this freaking hellhole." She assured her.

"Help? Jam, what help? Yeah. Sure they would call for help and arrive when our bodies are already rotten or we have been eaten by these fucking damn monsters. Have you forgotten Peyton? Or the rest that went missing just like that? What did they do? You were there. It was simply meetings upon meetings."

"Don't say that. I feel exactly the same too. But I refuse to give up. You know, I think I have a plan but I don't know if..."

"What was that?" She looked startled.

She immediately understood the voice even though he was screaming his lungs out.

"Oh my God. It's Joe." Jameela screamed.

"No. Are you sure? I mean it could be another man those sick psychos kidnapped."

The door was forced open and James and the man threw in a bloody person to the ground. His left leg was bloody and he was crying in pain holding on to it for dear life.

"Joe! What did you do to him, you bastards!" They rushed at him. He was gagging, blood dripping from his mouth.

"What are we going to do with him?" James asked his father.

"He gonn die soon. Besides he ain't tha one. I think we sha just end him. Go and prepare the kitchen," The man instructed.

"Oh I already did Dad. I said tha may be you woul bring someone." James replied, beaming from ear to ear as if he had just won his exams to make his father proud.

"Good, son." The man held on to Joe's hand, dragging it like a mere object. She didn't know she still had some strength left in her, as she lunged at the man, scraping his arms and shouting obscenities his way. Hanna followed suit as she jumped on his back. Even with the both of them onto him, he was stronger. He pushed them with full force, and they hit the hard concrete wall. They screamed in pain. Joe also tried to resist. That was when the man took out a long, sharp blade and sliced it into Joe's stomach causing a pool of blood to form and his stomach to burst out. His intestines fell out, half dangling from his stomach. Blood spurted out from Joe's mouth. He stopped moving. She was paralysed on the floor.

"Now!" The man shouted.

Just then, she heard Hanna scream. Turning to her direction, she saw Hanna cold on the floor. Before she could react, she felt a sharp blow on her head. She slumped on the cold hard floor, her eyes watering instantly. Her eyes flicked open a bit, her gaze on the man as he took out a knife from his pocket and plunged it in Joe's chest, carving what seemed to be a shape. He then gave James the knife. Blood splattered furiously as he dug his hands in Joe's opened chest and took out his heart. Jameela froze.

"Hmm. This heart is healthy. It a shame he ain't the one. I'm sure theirs are too." The man said beaming from ear to ear, his yellow rotten teeth visible.

Why? He wasn't even struggling with you, she whispered. She tried to inhale and exhale but couldn't. She could feel herself fading away. I'm going to die, she thought. Her whole life flashed in front of her. She saw her Mom smiling while making her favourite pastry, her dad laughing on his couch while sipping his orange drink and reading a magazine. Her siblings - Fatee eating from a box of chocolate, Muhammad watching a movie, Ibraheem studying the anatomy of insects he has brought from the backyard, and Sakna in from of her mirror having a face beat. Her best friends, laughing and sharing jokes with her. That's it. Her life was over. She would never see them again.

The man dragged Joe causing an array of blood to follow and a sickening smell to form.

She slowly fell unconscious.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.
