Blood Diamonds Tallinn Epilogue
A second passed. Then another. The gun didn’t fire. Instead, Margus lowered it slightly, exhaling through his nose. “You’re lucky,” he said, voice tight. “Alex wants his daughter alive. That’s the only reason you’re still breathing.” Miko opened his eyes, tears blurring his vision. “Then help her,” he begged. “ I’ll tell you everything I know. Every detail. Just… please don’t kill me.” Margus stared at him for a long moment, then holstered the gun with a sharp…-

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 9
Diamonds in the Dark Margus’s voice came through the phone again, calm but edged with steel. “Don’t hurt the girl,” he said. “Let her go. That was the deal.” The abductor laughed, low and bitter. “The deal changed,” he snapped. “I want the rest of the diamonds. Or a huge amount of money. You think I tracked her through the woods, held her for hours, for nothing?” Emma lay tied to the chair, her cheek pressed against the cold concrete floor where she’d fallen when he hit her.…-

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 8
Miko Emma woke to the sound of voices, muffled but sharp, drifting through the thin wall of the concrete room. Her head throbbed, her cheek burning where the man had hit her. The air tasted of dust and copper—her own blood, dried at the corner of her mouth. For a heartbeat she didn’t remember where she was, only Liina’s face, her pink scarf, the spray of red across the back door. Then it all crashed back: the woods, the factory, the diamonds, the rope biting into her wrists. She blinked,…-

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 7
Veiled Greed Emma opened her eyes to darkness and the smell of damp stone. For a moment, she didn’t know where she was. Then it crashed over her—Liina’s body falling, the spray of blood on the back door, the gunfire, the woods, the hand over her mouth. Her chest tightened, breath coming in short, panicked gasps. She sat up slowly, wincing at the ache in her muscles. The room was small, lit only by a single bare bulb hanging from the ceiling. The walls were bare concrete, the floor cracked…-

Bound by War and Love Chapter 02
On the morning after the wedding, it was customary to serve tea to the elders. Ren Jingsi, though willing to embarrass Luo Huanghun in private, still cared about his public reputation, so he returned early, waiting outside with a faint smile.

Despite spending her wedding night alone, there wasn’t a single trace of tears. The two walked…-

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 6
Blood Diamonds of Tallinn Emma didn’t stop crying. The woods swallowed them whole, branches clawing at her face, snow soaking through her jeans. Every breath tasted like smoke and blood. Liina’s last moments replayed in her mind—bullets tearing into her chest, the spray of crimson across the back door, the way her body had crumpled toward Emma. The diamonds in her hand felt heavy, cursed. She clutched them like a lifeline, fingers slick with sweat and something else she didn’t want to think…-

In the distance, she saw a brightly lit mansion and couldn’t help but drift toward it. There was no other reason—she hadn’t seen such beautiful light for so long. Ever since she married Ren Jingsi, she had suffered neglect and abuse day after day. In…-

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 5
Needle in the Haystack Alex landed in Tallinn just after sunrise, the Baltic air still sharp with winter. He had showered quickly at the hotel the embassy had arranged, changed into clean clothes, and taken a taxi straight to the Police and Border Guard Board headquarters in the city center. By the time he walked in, a representative from the U.S. Embassy was already waiting in the small briefing room—a mid‑forties consular officer with a tired but steady gaze and a folder marked “Emma Carter –…-
