Taken ( Mature Chapter Excerpt from Plan C)

***Mature Warning*** ***Trigger Warning***

Ash, a resilient single mother and captain of the elusive Ghost Ship, is violently abducted and thrust into a nightmarish world of captivity. Bound and tormented by a group of ruthless men, she endures relentless physical and psychological abuse. Her thoughts are a lifeline, drifting back to her beloved ship and the family she left behind, where she once found solace and purpose amidst chaos.

Days blur into a suffocating haze as Ash's interactions with her captors take a sinister turn. Among them is Maverick, a towering figure of menace and mystery. Initially, he embodies her worst fears, but as he spends more time with her, a twisted bond begins to form. Maverick's moments of unexpected kindness-bringing her food, warmth, and even a semblance of comfort-create a disorienting mix of fear and forbidden attraction within Ash.

Maverick reveals his obsession with the mythical Ghost Ship, convinced that Ash holds the key to its secrets. Their conversations become a perilous dance of trust and deception, with Ash torn between protecting her hidden truths and the dangerous allure of Maverick's enigmatic presence.

As the boundaries between captor and captive blur, Ash's struggle for survival intensifies. She grapples with her identity, her will to protect her family, and the haunting question of whether Maverick is her tormentor or her unexpected savior. In a world where humanity has twisted into something unrecognizable, Ash's journey is one of fierce resilience, desperate hope, and the unyielding fight to reclaim her spirit.
