Ian POV

"We are safe."

My heart began to pump again. I had been so worried. Knowing that there was a mole and they were trying to get to Mona and my family was unforgivable.

"Dommi is taking good care of us. The waterfall is beautiful."

"I'm just glad you are all safe."

"I miss you."

"I miss you too and soon we will all put this behind us. I know one thing and that is I can't wait to hold you in my arms. I promise as soon as this is over, we are taking a very long vacation."

"I love vacations."

"You may not see a lot of the scenery if you know what I mean."

Mona laughed. "That is definitely okay with me. I just want you safe and in one piece."

I loved to hear her voice, somehow it comforted me. I missed being with her as she had been through so much recently. I wanted to take away the pain and hurt and make her whole again. She was strong but we were stronger together.

"When I see you we can go wherever you want. You pick the place and I will take care of everything else."

I could hear her chuckle on the other end. These were the moments I cherished the most. The ones that would see me through the darkness.

"Clarke will be there soon to take everyone to Montreal where you all will be safe until I get there."

"What's in Montreal?"

"I have a little house there. It's nothing fancy but has plenty of room. Dommi knows the way there and in three days I will be there."

"I am so worried about you. I will feel so much better when I see you," she said as I closed my eyes.

"Don't worry about me. As long as I know you are safe I will be fine. Three days from now this will all be over and you and I will start our family."

"Okay," she said in a whisper.

I looked up to see Cason walking in the office and closing the door.

"I gotta go but I will see you soon. I love you."

"I love you too Ian," she said blowing me a kiss through the phone. I pulled the phone from my ear and swiped the button.

I could hear the landing gear coming down under the plane. The plane was about to touch down and I had just finished looking at the file that Chase gave me before Dommi called. My mind was still completely blown at the information that Clarke had collected over the past year. Sabrina was telling the truth about Linda being my sister but she was considered a missing person. The friend that Mona called her bestie was just an user and a taker. Ray had been playing us the whole time. I wiped my hand across my face looking up and praying for this to end soon.

"You ready?" Chase asked me as I put the last of the papers back in the envelope.

"As ready as I will ever be. I need you to handle this for me," I asked passing him a folded slip of paper. He looked at it and his eyes became big as saucers.

"Please tell me we are not going here Ian?" He asked looking me straight in my eyes.

"I needed his help."

"You do know Carmine would have done it for free."

"Carmine doesn't possess the qualities that he has. I need this slow and painful."

"Use Sam."

"Nope, I got the perfect man for the job."

"You really wanted pure torture?"

"I wouldn't want it any other way. I just need to make sure she is capture and intact. I want to watch as she slowly sees her life drift away along with my father and her sister."

"I thought Sam took care of Sabrina back New York?"

"No he made arrangements to have her sent based off my instructions. She should be arriving shortly before my father."

Chase shook head still not believing what I had done. He rubbed his chin still in shock. "How much did it cost you?"

"Let's just say I would have given him more if he would have asked."

"Damn, I am going to have to pray for your soul. He is the devil himself Ian. He is not to be trusted. We can take care of Zara and her crew but making a deal with him could cost us all our sanity."

"I'm so deep, God may never grant me serenity and I will just have to live with that. I'm not asking you for anything else but to get me and Zara there. After that you can wait in here until I come out."

I saw Chase swallow hard. "Remind me to never get on your bad side. I love life too much."

I chuckled. "Just make sure we are here by tomorrow. I am ready to get this over with and move on with my life."

"Well I came to tell you that Zara just left so we don't have a lot of time to get set up. We should be on the road in about ten minutes."

I nodded my head and got up from the desk. Chase patted me on the shoulder and shook his head. "He had no idea. He's been going back and forth in his head trying to figure out how he let a mole in."

"I know. Cason is a good guy. We have all been friends for too long and I can't see him wanting to harm Mona or anyone else. He helped her during the explosion especially when I wasn't there. If he was in on it that would have been his opportunity." Chase shook his head in agreement.

We walked up to the front of the plane where I saw Cason standing behind Allen.

"From satellite, we can see exactly where the house is. She is approximately twenty minutes away. Damon one of our guys is following her while Tim is getting ready for our arrival. It looks like she is currently out shopping," Allen said.

The pilot had warned us that we were about to land. We all took our seats and I sat next to Cason.

"I'm sorry for insinuating that you would have something to do with sending guys to hurt Mona and the others. We are boys and we have never had any beef. We are brothers and I should know you would always have my back."

"I can understand completely. If it was Nedra, I would feel the same way."

"So are we straight?"

"Always," Cason said as we dapped each other up.

"Sam will stay with Eric. Hopefully this won't take long," I said grabbing Sam's bag with items that may be needed.

The plane landed and we were all headed out the doors. A black suburban was waiting as we stepped off the plane. I could hear Chase talking to Allen on what to expect and Cason stared out the window.

"I called the Mad Hatter."

Cason instantly whipped his head around. I wasn't sure if it was shock written across his face or fear.

"I know you want to get Zara and I do too but are you sure about this Ian? His reputation precedes him. People say he is a ghost, a figment of the worst part of people's imagination."

"Very true, but I am not afraid of him. I called him as soon as the mess started."

"He is uncontrollable and unpredictable. He's worst than any serial killer known to man. Shit, I think Sam may even be afraid of him."

"I am fully aware of his demeanor, but he is the best of the best. I thought of ways of punishing them but nothing could compare to what he could do. This way I don't have to get dirty but enjoy the sheer pleasure of watching them pay for their sins."

"Where did you find him?"

"The less you know the better off you will be."

"Sam could..."

"He knows the plan. He's having Sabrina brought to him. She's part of the plan."

I could see fear and worry in his eyes for sure now. The expression on his face said it all.

"So when this is over, what happens with the Mad Hatter? I had heard he was in a dark prison and hadn't been in business for some time," Allen asked. "Did you pay for his release?"

I looked up to see Chase looking back at me and Cason."

"For now yes, but when this is over, he will go back and live a little more comfortable. His services will be paid once this is over. You all are free to go once Zara is delivered to the coordinates."

"We can't just leave you there with him. If he turns..."

"The Hatter and I have a mutual understanding. No harm will come to me. Security is tight and the only way to leave Exile Island is by plane. Who knew that he and my father had some unfinished business? My father seemed to mess with the wrong people."

"Mona begged me to bring you home safely and I don't break promises," Cason said. I nodded because there was no doubt in my mind that he had made that promise.

"ETA five minutes. Tim has everything in place," Allen said texting on his phone.

"Good. I want this to be a total surprise," I said sitting back in the seat. The show was about to begin and I would have the best seat in the house.

Zara POV

Everything had been falling into place. I had basically cleaned Collis out of everything he had. I had figured Carmine or Ian had gotten to him so I was free and clear. Sabrina would be arriving tomorrow with Eric and I would take off again. Leaving Sabrina and Eric here would get them out of harms way and mine.

I pulled up to the little marketplace to buy groceries. Once Brina and Eric were settled in, I was headed to Paris as a rich ass woman. My plan was almost perfect until Ray got popped. I hope he didn't leave any evidence. Good thing I had gotten my new identity and Zara Winters would be an official missing person. It had taken years to pull this off, but now I could finally see the light.

"我需要买水果...I need to buy fruit," I told the man inside the store.

"在那边, over there," he said pointing to the back of the store. I casually walked in the direction he told me and I picked up a few things and headed to the counter. My next stop was the meat market where I got some fresh steak and my last stop was the toy store. After I got everything I walked back to my car.

I heard my phone ring and I looked to see Jack, one of Cason's men calling. Jack and I had been friends since college and although he was loyal to Cason, money talked and bullshit walked. I grabbed the phone out my purse on the third ring.

"This betta be imp..."

"Their gone," Jack said out of breath.

"What do you mean gone?!"

"Mona, her mother and grandmother are not in the house. We looked everywhere."

"Your only task was to watch them until I gave you further instructions. Where the fuck were you two?"

"Everyone was sleep at Dominique's house. We made sure of it hours ago. I did my checks thirty minutes ago and even Dominique, her man and aunt are gone."

"You better find them or your asses is grass and I am the fucking lawnmower. I don't give a damn if you have to burn the place and smoke their asses out, I want them found. The next time I hear your voice it betta be that you have them."

"We are looking."

"Then you betta look fucking harder. I swear I will kill ya myself. Find them got damn it!" I said so pissed off I was shaking. Someone must have tipped them off but they would never get off that island. Jack had the scrambler and any plane or helicopter from Ian's house or Dominique's house would alert Jack and their signal would be weak for take off. They had to be on that island somewhere.

I was lost in my thoughts until I came to a deep curve. I eased off the gas petal thankful that I didn't crash into anything or anybody. I looked in my rearview and noticed a tan sedan. It looked like the car I saw from the market. I looked behind me. The only person that knew I was here was Brina and there was no way in hell she would tell anyone.

I decided to turn off to see if my instincts were right. I quickly made a turn off the road and stopped the car in an alley. I watched as the vehicle passed right by me. It had a Bhutan Police shield on the door so maybe he figured I was an outsider. I sat there for a few more minutes to see if he would say something to me or pass me up again. I got out the car and walked to the street. The streets had a few people on them and a few cars lined the street but the sedan was nowhere to be found.

"Keep it together Zara. You are almost at the end," I said to myself under my breath. I got back in the car and headed home.

The house I had chosen was simple and had plenty of room for Brina and Eric to live. In a way I couldn't wait to see them, but then on the other hand finding out about her being with Darren and Collis pissed me off most. I knew my sister had always been jealous of me, but it didn't matter now because both of them were gone so they were just a pawn in the game.

Brina was technically the only family I had left. Eric was used to get to Collis's money and now I was patting myself on the back because I had very well succeed at getting it. Ian thought he had me but I was always one step ahead. Taking Eric out of Ian's sister he never knew he had was done with epic proportion. Linda James never knew what hit her. They could search for her, but they would never ever find her, I made sure of that. One thing I did do was grant her that I wouldn't kill her and I didn't.

I laughed as all the intricate details of my plan were coming together until Jack told me they were missing. The rage inside of me was building. I hit the steering wheel with both palms not feeling the pain associated with the hits. I screamed and closed my eyes as all I saw was red. When I finally calmed down, I stared out the front window of the car.

"Dominique's house is unique. Her grandmother's ancestors built catacombs under the house for where they would hide until they found an opportunity to find their freedom off the island. At one point the slaves of the island met in the catacombs where they prepared to take over the island..."

Ian had told me the story when he brought me to the island to propose. I picked up my phone and called Jack and he picked up on the third ring.

"Check the basement. There is a passageway under Dominique's house. They are probably hiding in there. Find them and you better call me when you do."

"Got it," Jack said getting off the phone. This was the break I needed to make sure I took everything away from Ian. I backed up the car and headed to the house. I pulled up in the garage and grabbed my bags out the backseat. The security guys were coming in the morning to install cameras and I couldn't wait. Just in case Ian did warn the others he would eventually find me so I needed to be gone quickly.

I walked in the house and straight to the kitchen. I put up everything but didn't realize how tired I was. I yawned and stretched and decided to take a shower. I would probably feel better especially with all the tension that seemed to take over my body.

I turned on the shower and looked at myself in the mirror. This face would no longer be mine in a week or so because I had an appointment with a plastic surgeon. Once the procedure was over, no one would have a clue of who I was. I touched the side of my smooth face. I couldn't help but smile. I had been through so many ups and downs that it was time for some real happiness.

I continued to strip out my clothes and made my way to the shower. The hot water bounced off my body leaving me closing my eyes and enjoying the feeling.

My hands roamed up and down my body as my fingers glazed across my warm skin. My nipples became harder as I slowly turned and let the water beat on them. I was getting so horny. It had only been a day or so since Collis and I had sex but I wanted more. I could take care of myself until I got to Paris and then I could find someone new.

My fingers trailed down my body until I lifted my foot up on the side of the tub while my armed reached out and gripped the wall. I used my other hand to work my remaining fingers up my body until they worked themselves between my legs. The heat from the shower brought back memories of Ian and I. He would fuck me so good in the shower I could barely walk out. Most of the time he would just carry me out.

I smiled at the thought as my fingers did their job my moans deepen under the spray. My body jerked back and forth as my orgasm showed no mercy. Coming back to my senses I quickly soaped and rinsed off. I stepped out the shower and dried off my body. I wrapped the towel around my body and looked up at the bathroom mirror.

SURPRISE, was written across it. I looked around as my heart began to do summersaults. Who was in my house? I looked around to see if I could find a weapon in the bathroom but there was nothing. The door was closed and I went over to the knob and locked it. I check the small linen closet behind me and nothing.

I headed to the window and tried to open it, but somehow it wouldn't open. I beat on the glass but nothing happened.

"Shit...shit...shit!" What was going on? The only way out was going out the door. I had no idea who could be behind the door. I had left my gun in the car in the garage. If I could get to it, I could protect myself. I had to make a decision. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I slowly unlocked the door and opened it wide enough to peek my head out. Everything looked normal and in it's place.

"Come on Zara. Get your stuff and get the hell out this house," my conscious was screaming at me.

I ran to the bed and grabbed my shorts and tank and quickly put them on. I looked everywhere to make sure the coast was clear. I peeked my head out the bedroom door and looked down both sides of the hall. Everything seemed quiet. The garage was right around the corner, less then ten steps away I could actually get my gun and get the hell out of here.

I looked one more time and made a run for it. I grabbed the door knob but it didn't bulged. I grabbed the spare key as the deadbolt was still intact. I put the key in but it didn't turn. What the hell? I kept trying it and still it wouldn't turn. I could feel anger and fear coursing their way through my body. I had to think fast.

I climbed in the sink and tried unlocking the window. I flipped the locks but they wouldn't open either. I was taken back. It was no way, that I was locked in this house. I went to grab a butcher knife but it was missing. I looked around and pulled out all the drawers and they were all emptied.

I backed up against the wall. I shook my head in disbelief.

Trying not to give away my location I peeked around the wall into the living room. The lights from the pool reflected against the patio door. I made a dash for it and sure enough it was locked. I looked at the lock and realized it had been jammed. Whoever was after me wasn't playing and had every intention of making sure I wasn't going anywhere. I checked the rest of the windows and they all were jammed.

I started to clap. "Bravo you found me. You have me exactly where you want me, so come out and face me. It's been so long or are you scared that you still want me Ian," I said taunting him.

"I know you can see me. I can feel your eyes on me. It's a miracle I'm still alive. I know you want to touch me to see if I'm real don'tcha. You want to remember how soft I use to feel in your arms or how we would fuck like pure animals. You remember you would toss me around and fuck me until we both passed out. Do you fuck Mona that good?" I looked around waiting for him to appear but nothing.

"You can't ignore me because you got me trapped in my own home. You do realize I can call the police and can have you arrested for trespassing?" I went and grabbed my phone out my purse that was by the door. I dug in it and went to call but the display didn't show up. I turned the phone around and the battery along with the back of the phone was missing. I ran to the kitchen where I grabbed my second phone I used to call Ian on. I flipped it open and the display came on and I heard the signal. I dialed zero.

I got excited as this would surely get me out of here.

"Bhutan Police how may I help you?" I heard a voice say through the phone.

"There is an intruder in my home. I'm scared he is going to kill me." There was
