Bloodstained Promises Chapter 1 : Prologue to Darkness
**Trigger Warning. This book may contain the following topics that may be sensitive to readers: dubious consent, masochism, drug use, mental illness, mentions of previous assault or abuse, sexual harassment of a main character, kidnapping, abandonment, control, confinement, and attempted crimes. This book is rated 18+ due to content. Never in my life had I considered what it would be like to meet fate. To have what you thought was love turn into harsh realization of manic moments that never seemed to make sense. The haunted memories of my past were always too much for me to handle. The dark ways that my mind played tricks on me, constantly having me look over my shoulder as if waiting for him to appear, exhausted me to no end. Sometimes, I felt I was waiting for death to meet me with open arms as if I was meeting an old friend. The worst part of it all was I thought the pain of the mental abuse I sustained would never end, and I would be forced to succumb to the dark desires of Trevor&

~Two Years Later~When I was a little girl, I tried to imagine how my life would be when I grew up. Images of living on a beach in California with my best friend Sasha was always what came to mind. My mother peacefully took up space in her white beach chair as we spent time together like we used to do when I was little, back before my father died, fighting overseas for our country. Back when everything in life made sense.Two years later, instead of the happy fantasy I had hoped for, I found myself swallowing my heartache over the death of my mother while trying to finish school far away from Sasha in an academy that I never knew existed. My hopes and dreams shattered, but a new future on the horizon filled with possibilities kept me going. “Nessa!” an overly eager voice called out from the bar as I walked into JD’s with the sole intention of getting absolutely shit-faced. Which turned out to be a reoccurring thing since I had graduated and escaped my shit situation back home

Walking through the front door of my mother’s home, I had expected her to greet me. But instead, I was welcomed into an empty house. The light yellow walls with tiny white and pink flowers met me like an old friend. The smell of her perfume still lingered throughout the entire home, and I wondered if that’s why my stepfather never came home anymore. It didn’t matter that he had gotten custody of me, because my father was gone, and I had no other family. He had loved my mother just as much as I had, and now she was gone.The only thing I was left with was the notion Trevor would be coming for me.The man who had completely destroyed my life for the last few years, and inevitably would own me now that I was of legal age. After all, this was all I had. All I was good for. My life belonged to him, or so he had told me for years.Tears fell down my face as I walked towards the antique China cabinet, a photo of my mother and me when I was young sat upon the shelf. The sun, shining down

NashI had never been accustomed to how the world worked. Nor had I taken kindly to the hands that I had been dealt in my life. My circumstances never quite added up no matter who had tried to figure me out. A psychological event that had stumped doctors for years as I was growing up. Not that it was my fault. No kid at the age of twelve should have to witness the death of the people they loved the most, and though my godfather had paid a handsome fee to have all the best doctors take a look at me, it was never enough.I was fucked up. A case they couldn’t solve, or so they claimed. But in my eyes, it was because they didn’t want to deal with me. They didn’t want to face the fact that I wasn’t their next case to solve. I was a fucking human, and the bad shit that happened to me wasn’t normal.It was the whole reason I had accepted my fate at this academy. The whole reason why I agreed to the brotherhood. I wanted revenge.I wanted retribution. “Things didn’t go as planned?”

NessaSweat dripped down my back from under my sports bra as I stood wiping my brow. I’d spent all day unpacking boxes in the heat because of the AC issue in the building, and though they sent out a notice saying it had just been fixed—it’d take hours to cool. Lifting my phone from the desk beside me I checked the time.7:57 pm. Fuck, I worked through dinner.I hadn’t realized how long I had been working at trying to get my dorm unpacked, but after the altercation with Nash earlier it was the only thing that kept my mind busy. The only thing that distracted me from the look he gave me before he left me standing alone on the sidewalk. Something about what I said had set him off, and though I shouldn’t have been worried about what he or anyone thought. I couldn’t help it. Especially since I knew that Trevor was lurking somewhere around the area outside the school, and now I was basically confined to the safety of the campus.Even the thought of ordering a pizza made me nervous

Days passed with not a single peep from Nash since the letter I had received on my doorstep. And every single day that passed I found myself constantly looking over my shoulder for him. As if he was going to jump out of the shadows to take me down or something. Crazy? Perhaps, but then again, I knew nothing about him and the only thing I had heard were the rumors that Becca had told me. Not that I want to know how the hell she knew about his sex life.I mean… this man who I barely knew acts as if he has known me forever even though both of us know that wasn't true. And though I’m hesitant about letting him near me… I can’t help but want him to be closer. I can’t help but feel safe around him.Safe around a complete stranger.Even my mind played tricks on me on a regular basis. My thoughts slipping to the gorgeous curves of his muscles and the dark somber expression hidden within his eyes. The way it might feel if he wrapped his massive firm arms around me and pulled me close t

I’d never been the kind of girl interested in parties, but when Becca came knocking at my dorm room door with tears in her eyes at half past seven because Noah and her had gotten into a fight, I couldn’t say no to her. Not that I was ever really able to say no to her or Sasha.“Are you sure you’re okay?” I asked her for the millionth time. “I’ve never seen you guys fight like that.”She was quiet for a moment before she shrugged her shoulders nodding. “I mean… no but it’s whatever. He wouldn’t tell me what he was talking about and brushed me off. I mean, we have been together for almost a year and that’s how he acts… I don’t know.”I didn’t know how she felt considering I’d never really been in a proper relationship, but I did know that if I were in her place I’d probably be upset too. Noah was always super sweet, and the way he acted felt completely out of character. But it wasn’t my place to say anything. Instead, I was Becca’s moral support, and looking at what she put me in,

Logan Mitchell. The blond-haired, blue-eyed troublemaker of Becca’s hometown. He stood before us, smug smile across his plump lips. With corded arms crossed over his chest, his lean physique was shown off under the white t-shirt he wore.Becca told me once how she had crushed hard on him growing up, but back then, she was a dorky little girl with glasses and braces. Instead of paying attention to her romantically like every young girl wanted, he picked on her with her graduating class mean girls. Her life spiraled out of control as they tried to make every moment of everyday completely miserable. My heart broke for my friend when she told me, but I was happy knowing Noah picked up the pieces. He made sure she never felt the sting of regret or betrayal, and I loved him for that.“Fuck off, Logan,” Becca snapped, turning away from him and leaving me standing there looking a little more lost and confused than I wanted. I hadn’t expected her to address him so passionately, but I

Bloodstained Promises Chapter 50 : Captive
~Two Months Later~Unknown POVEverything had gone as planned, at least in a way. I had worked too hard to play it cool. To pretend that I was using the Knighthood to stay on top. I had never wanted to be part of their games, but when Nash’s interest with the fucking girl, I couldn’t help but use that to my advantage. The mission kept me busy and helped me forget that I would have taken off by now if I could get away with it. Now I just needed time for it all to fall apart.Everything that the Knighthood had taught him had gone out the window the moment he met that girl. I had hoped that I could have gotten him on my side. Gotten him to join my cause and overthrow everyone, but he became too obsessed with claiming her. Instead of being the man he should have been, fighting the cause and minding his own business, he found himself captivated by a girl who only hindered my plans. That was until I found out who she was, and who was connected to her.She was my real reason
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 49 : Stone Cold Promises
Fear and panic filled me as Brady dragged me away from the Villa. Away from the chaos out of the south wall where men in dark green and black suits with masks, eyewear, and guns stood waiting for us. My feet halted me at our approach, but they weren’t interested in us. They stared beyond me, from where we had come with their guns raised ready to attack anyone who followed that was a threat to us leaving.“Brady, stop! What are you doing? We can’t leave him.”He spun to face me; his eyes narrowed as he snatched me by my wrist. “I am keeping you safe, Vanessa. Either you follow me willingly, or I will toss you over my shoulder and carry you the rest of the way. Do you understand me?”Brady had never been serious with me before, at least not like this. And as much as I wanted to protest, I didn’t. I let him pull me behind him to the jagged hillside, down towards a wooden staircase that led to the coast. A coast so black that I could barely see my hand in front of my face, but I put
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 48 : Battle for Love
NashIt had taken too long for me to get to Greece, but now that I was here, I felt a thirst for blood flowing through my veins that I barely recognized. Laying upon the dirt and grass hillside, I peered up through heavy binoculars towards the white villa two hundred yards in front of me. I had been waiting for this moment, and though Brady and I had a plan in place, I was ready to ditch it all and storm in there killing everyone in my path.“Get yourself together, Nash,” he snapped at me from under his breath. “We can’t divert from the plan. That’s what will get us and her killed.”“I know, I know.” Gritting my teeth, I tried to focus on what I was supposed to be doing. I wasn’t usually the person who had to be reminded. In fact, I was always the one snapping at others to get their shit together, but not right now.Right now this situation was too close to home for me. And Vanessa made it hard to think straight.Pushing away the annoying sound of Brady’s warnings, I vi
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 47 : Let the Fires Burn
When she said he was coming, I had expected the same day. Instead, though, it was two days later and I was no less a captive than I had been the day he took me. Every second that trekked on, part of me was losing hope, but a stronger part of me refused to give up. And as for Sophia, I hadn’t seen her in twenty-four hours. The idea that she may have been caught troubled me. She had been nothing but friendly towards me, but what if someone found out that she was plotting with me to escape?Standing in the sunroom of the large villa, the glass walls and roof let the sunshine down on me. The warmth of its rays tried to light the fire in my heart, but no matter the light I felt empty and alone. Trevor hadn’t tried anything with me since that night on the stairs, but every time I was around him, I had to endure his slow caresses against my back and hips that made me want to tear off my skin.I hated him. More than anything in this world, I wished him dead.He had taken to planning our
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 46 : Secret Friends
NessaMy night was endless as I had tossed and turned within the lush bed dreading what was to come. I feared that Trevor was going to come to me. That he was going to slip into my bed in the middle of the night forcing himself upon me. The thoughts terrorized me every second of the day and night for a long time in my life. I thought I was strong. That I could fight him and free myself, but every second I spent here locked up waiting, I felt my sanity losing control.Curled up within the thick white blankets, the soft pink silk shorts and top set that was given to me clung to my skin, I contemplated my situation as I had done since I got here.Fighting him was no use, and though I was never one to really wallow in self-pity, I sure as hell was right now. The dark depression that hung over my head was like a gray cloud that I couldn’t get rid of.“Miss…” Sophia’s soft voice echoed from the bedroom doorway. My eyes slowly drifted towards her as I took in the same lonely figure
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 45 : Dinner with a Monster
“Thank you everyone for coming,” Trevor’s words rang loud and clear across the twelve-seat cherry wood dining table, standing next to me at the head of the table and addressing the men and women that sat around us. I didn’t know who they were, and I didn’t care to.I had tried to stay in the warmth of the shower for as long as I could, avoiding what was going to end up happening once I was finished, but Sophia wouldn’t allow me that luxury. The moment I stepped outside of the bathroom wrapped in a white fluffy towel, she was waiting for me with the most concerned expression on her gaze as she realized I was far from ready.“Tonight, I want to welcome back the woman I have loved for far too long. She was away at school, and now has returned to take her place by my side while I begin the transition with my father to take his place in leadership.”I didn’t have the slightest fucking clue what he was talking about and honestly, I didn’t care. But I was sick and tired of him telling p
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 44 : A villa in Greece
I wasn’t sure how long we had driven or where we were going. But the drive to wherever Trevor was taking me was breathtaking. All around me, the sea glistened outside the window of the vehicle. The sun shone off the water, giving it a heavenly glow that I had never seen before. I had always wanted to travel by myself across the ocean to visit the rest of the world, but I had never dared to.The last time I had come across the ocean was with my mother, and Trevor had made even that visit almost unbearable.The vehicle turned off the main road and traveled closer to the sea before turning down another road that led towards a large white mansion on the side of a hill with multiple other buildings around it, followed by a massive stone wall. The place was huge, far bigger than anything I had seen before, and with it, more guards.Except these paced the walls with large guns in their hands, and a look of ‘take no shit’ plastered on their faces as we passed through the gates.“Where
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 43 : Danger in the Sky
VanessaThey say that when you hit rock bottom, the only path is up, but for me, I wasn’t sure how true that actually was. One minute I was happy with a man I enjoyed being around more than anything, and the next minute, I was a prisoner to a man who tormented me for years. My freedom was just outside my grasp, and I was thrown into darkness by a drug-induced coma only to awaken feeling heavier than I had before.My eyes fluttered open slowly, hope filling me that Nash would appear at my side any moment, but instead, I was met with leather chairs and dim lighting. Grogginess once again filtered through my mind, and it didn’t matter which way I tried to move, my entire body felt heavy as if a weighted blanket was placed over me, and I couldn’t get comfortable.With my eyes focused, I took in the overhead storage bins with wall-to-wall cream coloring and a variety of other beige leather seats as well as small tables and men. The same men I had seen with Trevor.Oh god…it was t
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 42 : Battle for Freedom
NashThe moment that we got closer to the warehouse, I pulled the car off and made sure that we were prepared. It was no surprise to me that he had men everywhere because as we continued on after arming ourselves to the teeth, rapid-fire descended down upon us as if it was hail pelting the car. I swerved in and out. Brady was trying to help with cover fire as I tried to drive and shoot out the left side, cars coming up behind us, hitting the back end, and Sasha screaming in the back seat. I knew it wasn't a good idea to bring her. But I did it anyway because she had insisted.Was it foolish of me? Perhaps. But I had one thing in mind and that focus was to get Vanessa back.Never in my life have I ever considered love or the true meaning behind the word. I loved my mother once Upon a time. I had family I had considered loving. But nothing really ever made sense until I met Vanessa. At first, it was just someone that I had wanted. A conquest, perhaps? Who knows? But over time
