Blood Ties and Broken Vows Chapter 22: freedom
Ava had regained consciousness. She sat on the bed, knees folded. She wrapped her arms around them and stared blankly into nothingness. The pain med administered to her eased her of the pain, or perhaps it made it bearable to sit. The memories of the events at the hood party were still fresh in her mind. She feared it would be in her memory forever but she wasn't ready to let it go. She hadn't and will never forget what they did to her. Even if the world doesn't have any justice left, she would get one herself. No matter what it takes. This suffer that they made her go through, they shall suffer it thrice. She blinked back the tears brimming in her eyes and swallowed a lump that her throat hurt. “ I will never forget,” She muttered under her shaky breath and she quickly wiped the tears off her face when a knock came from the door. She parted her lips to speak but no words came out. The person ushered themselves in by themselves and Ava saw Melanie walk in, holding a tray with

Ava paced back and forth in the room. It's been days since Alice told her of her plans and during these days, there had been no sight of Jacob Steele. She still remembered Alice saying now was the perfect time and for her sake, she would stay a few more days so she could make her decision. Ava stomped her feet on the floor, her eyes narrowed as she sighed slowly. " I will leave. I will escape." She muttered firmly. A few minutes later, Melanie entered the room but Ava noticed the unfriendly look on her face. It was unlike her. Melanie always has a smile on her face. Ava's heart skipped in her chest. No. Melanie could not have known about Alice's conversation with her. She gulped, waiting for the woman to state her business. " Whatever you are planning to do with Alice, don't. I beseech you, Ava, for your good, do not do it." Ava's breath hung in her throat, her heart pounded against her chest. How did she know? How did Melanie know? She pressed her lips together trying to act

" Where did you find her, Lorenzo?" A short man with dirty blonde hair asked one of his men as they stared at the young woman on the floor of their ship. " I found her in the bush, close to the duck during one of my morning walks," Lorenzo answered. It was common knowledge that Lorenzo loved going on early morning walks. He would walk for hours and return to the dock before they sailed away. Since the death of his wife and son, he'd been taking morning walks as a form of therapy, and earlier today, he found a woman unconscious. He discovered she wasn't dead and couldn't leave her behind so he took her with him to show his boss. Perhaps, they could get some money through her or have a good time with her. There are barely any women on board so most of the time, they go months without the touch of a woman. Some of them have even resulted in fucking themselves to satisfy their urge. " The dock is secluded. What could a young woman like her be doing out here all alone?" Lorenzo asked,

A splash of water Jotted the unconscious woman up. She gasped as the water drooled down her face. She looked around, confusion clouding her face and her eyes landed on a man. He had a dirty bucket in his hand and she quickly realized he was the one who poured her the water. Where was she? How long has she been there? How did it get there? So many questions ran through her mind but there seemed to be no answer to them. A foggy memory crept into her head and her hands instinctively reached for her neck. A soft gasp left her mouth and she roamed her fingers around her neck to be sure. The collar. It is gone! Her eyes welled in excitement, clumps of lumps forming in her throat. How could she forget how that stupid almost choked her to death in the woods? She forced the lump down her throat. She raised her head up and mouthed a thank you to the man who she assumed to be her savior. ‘ I am free. I am no longer a slave! The collar is gone!’ she screamed internally, excited but she did

The boss returned to his seat and sat down but she noticed something, his gaze had changed. He no longer has that look. That scared look he had on a minute ago made her wonder what they discussed. What did they talk about? “ Jacob Steele is your master?” He asked her and she didn't miss the anger mixed with hatred in his voice. She slowly tightened her embrace around her knees, as if shielding herself and her fears from him. Hesitating, she answered with all courage. “ Jacob Steele is my master,” she answered and suddenly felt stupid and angry at herself. Did she realize what she just said? She just insisted Jacob is still her master. Damn it. Stupid girl! She quickly added, “ I mean nothing to him. I am worthless to him. He doesn't care about me and won't come for me. He threw me out himself. He left me to die. I didn't escape,” Although there were truths in her words, she still hoped they would buy her little lie and let her go. The boss seemed to be weighing he

Ava was relieved. Adam seemed to buy the idea. She didn't believe it would work. She just thought of trying it out. She wiped the blood on her mouth with the back of her hands and stared at the retreating back of Lorenzo.“ I'm sorry for your loss,” she said weakly and he just closed the door behind him without answering. Ava let out a low sigh as she pushed herself slowly up to her feet which wobbled. Her stomach churned but now wasn't the time to think about food. She needs to find a way out of the ship.She had just told a lie and she needed another lie to back up that lie until she found an escape route. She is not familiar with Jacob's Villa and guards. Now that he is on his low time, wouldn't that be evil to conspire against him?No. She shook her head, patting it with her palm.She shouldn't be thinking about him. She shouldn't care if he just lost his power or not.Besides losing his power and his death is what she wants.The door opened again and a different face walked in

She held his gaze, her eyes holding his golden ones which turned dark and gold alternatively. At that moment, she wanted to melt into his arms and…She doesn't know. She just wanted to hug him. Adam said he would come for her but she'd said no but here he is, proving her wrong.He tilted her chin up with his middle finger and examined her face, taking in every detail of it.She stared at him, letting him do whatever he wanted with her. If he wants to stare, let him stare. There was no escaping from him again.She stared deeply into his eyes. They draw her towards them, wanting to drawn her. Her heart pounded slowly in her chest. How on earth did she miss all the perfect details of his face? She cannot believe this man right here was once a slave. She tried to read his eyes and as usual, she knew she would fail. Jacob conceals his emotions perfectly. There was nothing to read.“ Cute,” he mumbled and let go of her chin.Why isn't he angry at her? Why did he say that she was cute when h

Ava didn't bulge. She didn't fight as Jacob carried her inside the den she’d escaped for barely a day. Earlier, when he took her from Adam's boat, the police siren had wailed. She'd panicked and prayed they would find her and rescue but Jacob, as meticulous always, avoided the cops and left underwater. Ava tried to understand how but she had other things on her mind. Why did Jacob agree to take Lorenzo with him? The man hates him. Did he know that? When did she start caring about who hates him and who does not?She shook her head to get the thoughts off her mind but Jacob paused and shook her violently on his shoulder. She stilled and he continued walking, climbing the stairs.She looked to her side and saw Melanie glaring dagger at her as if she had done something to her. Feeling uneasy by the tense atmosphere, she fixed her gaze on the floor and didn't know when they arrived in Jacob's room.Her back hit the soft mattress and her heart almost left her chest.

Ava’s eyes widened. She gulped slowly and quickly retracted her fist which was now stained with blood.“ I am sorry,” She panicked as Jacob wiped the blood off his nose with the back of his hand. He stared at the blood, his eyes cold and distant. He doesn’t remember the last time he saw his own blood.He raised his head up and gave her a look that sent shivers down her spine. She looked at him with trembling lips, her eyes telling him how she didn’t mean it and how sorry she was but he grabbed her by the neck instead and pulled her towards him before crashing his lips against hers. He kissed her hard, making sure she could taste the blood in his mouth. He kissed her until she was out of breath before letting go of his grip on her neck. Ava staggered back, gasping for air, her palm placed on her chest, a metallic taste lingering on her tongue. Her eyes were moistened. She raised her head up and saw him wiping the corner of his lips so gracefully. She gulped and looked away from his in
Blood Ties and Broken Vows Chapter 33: Shooting range
Ava sat in the garden, staring at the rising sun as she hugged her knees to herself, her head resting on a vase, a blanket covering her barely. She couldn't sleep on her bed the previous night. Somehow, she ended up spending the night in the garden and thinking about Jacob's plan for her.She'd sobbed, wept, and screamed into her palms but still, nothing made sense, and that included Jacob sending her on a suicide mission.“ You have my protection.” That was what he said. Does he really think that would comfort her and make her accept such a stupid decision?She wiped another tear from her swollen heavy eyes. She gazed at the sunrise and let her eyes close slowly. With the plans Jacob harbors for her, she is not sure she will see another sunrise again.Jacob watched from the side, standing behind a pillar. He'd been standing there watching her all night at intervals. He told the guards to let her be and as it seemed, from the way her head slouched forward, she had fallen asleep.He s

It tastes good and strong. It was exactly what he needed. She gulped the remaining content in the glass and politely placed it on the desk, a polite smile on her face when her eyes landed on the shotgun. She quickly pulled her hand back, her heart quickening in her chest.Why does he have a gun on the desk? Is he planning to kill her? As she battled with her thoughts, Jacob reached for the gun, making her flinch back in fright.This is it. He is going to kill her. He is going to kill her for attempting to run away.He stood up from the chair, picking up the gun and her heartbeat tripled. Her chest rose and fell and he could hear her heavy breath and the thumping of her heart.Look at her, so innocent and scared like a mouse. She is exactly what he needed.His lips curled in a sinister smile. He never realizes he enjoys the look of fright on her until this day. He stopped before her, leaving her no space to breathe as he covered the only space between them.Ava’s skin burnt under his

Ava slept off on Jacob’s bed and didn’t know how she got to her room. She woke up for the second time and rolled over on the bed. The swell on her cheeks has reduced. She could barely feel any pain in them but it didn’t change the fact that she has two missing teeth in her mouth.Facing the ceiling and staring blankly at it, she pondered about what Jacob had told her the evening before. Did he mean it? He’d told her he would let her go. She didn’t hear that wrong, did she?She threw her legs on the floor, still in her pajamas, she left her room, in search of her master. She stopped by his study door and hesitated before knocking on it. No response came and she raised her hand to knock again when the door opened Just for her to meet Gary towering over her.“ Jacob is busy.” He told her flat off and Ava tried to look behind him for Jacob.“ Leave.” He told her off and Ava glanced at him in displeasure. Why is he so rude?She cursed and in her mind turned to leave. Instead of returning b
Blood Ties and Broken Vows Chapter 30: Let me go
“ You ruined my life. I ran away because I couldn't kill you, Jacob!” Another clamp at the base of her clitoris made her seeth in pain.Tears welled in her eyes but she held them back, not wanting them to escape.“ Your life was ruined already before I met you.” Jacob husked, his eyes turning deep at the moisture in her entrance. Her arousal filled the air and his fist clenched by his side, his penis throbbing under his pants.His hands uncurled and he found himself reaching for her fold, earning a moan from her and he immediately pulled away.Ava seethed with anger when he pulled away. Can he just get it done already? Damn him. Damn, his existence.“ Your life was already ruined when you got together with him.” He added, his words slicing the air she breathed and the tears escaped, mixing with her sweat and flowing down into her mouth. Did he have to bring that up? How can he be so heartless?“ Let me go please, I beg of you,” she pleaded, sobbing and Jacob scoffed, cocking his head
