Bound by Betrayal Chapter Eight
DamienDamien Albrecht... a name that strikes fear and panic into the hearts of anyone who hears it. He's not just ruthless, brutal, and ferocious, but the embodiment of everyone's worst nightmare. Crossing paths with him is like inviting pain and suffering into your life. He possesses no conscience for those with conscience will not do what he does....... Well, that's all they kept saying but I care less about their opinions or how they perceived me."Sh*t..." I groaned as crimson blood splattered in all directions, staining my hands with its gruesome reminder.As the lifeless bodies lay strewn across the cold, unforgiving ground, a chilling silence filled the air. The moonlight cast an eerie glow on the scene, illuminating the dark secrets hidden within the shadows. An enigmatic figure, I stood tall amidst the chaos, my eyes gleaming with a mix of satisfaction and determination."Done," I smirked, a twisted satisfaction coursing through my veins as I released the lifeless bodies, al

"Hmm... You can see that I came alone," he forced out a smile that barely made it over his face as I shot him a deadly glare, "Straight to business," my voice was cold and dreadful to hear.He cleared his throat several times, struggling to compose himself, "I have finally accepted your business deal.""Huh," my eyebrow cocked up, I smirked and took a sip from my drink.There's this tension, this dark aura, and I notice how restless he suddenly seemed. This was the exact man who was neck-bent on not cooperating with us years back... A loyal client of my adversary. But just like the saying goes, "Damien Albrecht always gets whatever he wants no matter the situation." Now, this very wealthy man looks like a chaff in front of me."Me and my team will invest in the business," a smile spread across my lips at his words, but I ignored him and pretended that I didn't hear him.I lifted my hands by the side, giving a small clap and Eros walked up toward us with a file in his hands. He gav

"I see you couldn't wait to be here," the smoothness of my voice was striking, I said immediately I felt her walk inside.She smirked, closing the door as she slowly walked up to me with her perfectly slender legs and short revealing blue gown that wrapped tightly around her body. "Can't wait……." She said through her seductive silver eyes, making my smirk turn more rapacious at her lustful approach. She stopped in front of me and tried to place her hand on my exposed abs but I held her hand back stopping it from touching me. Our gazes were still locked when suddenly anger slipped into my heart making my eyes turn cold. She almost flinched but I held her hand curbing her from taking a step back.I let out a hazardous smirk and stared back at her, women don't deserve anything good. They are all snakes and villains. Either they want something from you………. Money, fame or to have a taste of you but in public they always act so innocent and fragile just like Zuri. "Whore…….. They are all

AshleyThe day dawned crispy and clear, the sun poured through the window then making the light of the dawn speed into my room. Luckily Damien was not home after the wedding and I was able to sleep alone last night. But my joy was once disrupted when the doorknob was twisted sideways, I had dozed off while crying throughout yesterday that I didn't even know when it was morning. Still wrapped up in my wedding gown I tried to get up from the bed, but I wasn't quick enough to get up when the devil walked in.Just name the devil and here he is………. Damien.Damien walked in, his gaze moving straight to the picture flame that was hanging on the wall. He looked devastated and yet angry. There was something with the way that he stared at the picture that crushed my heart.I cleared my throat, trying to compose and remind myself what this demon did to my father but unfortunately, it seems like my little attitude draws his attention.Our eyes locked, and his face suddenly turned cold and toxic

I huffed and made my way to the bathroom, hoping the cold water could calm me down and pull me out of this misery for a short period.I was so engrossed in pain that I didn't spare a second glance to admire the magnificent interior of the bathroom.I paused in front of the sink and glanced at the wall mirror before turning on the tap. Interrupting the running water, I leaned forward and splashed the water on my face, allowing the mixture of water and tears to trickle down. My eyes closed as I imagined my pain coursing off me, knowing it was only temporary."It's going to be fine," I tried to assure myself the best way I could, but deep down, I knew it would only get worse. How could it be okay?"How is it going to be okay; Just how?" I hummed in response as I slowly stepped under the shower and started crying profusely. I'm scared of him, scared of this unknown fate that befalls me. I shouldn't have agreed with Layla to sneak out that night. If I hadn't listened to her and gotten myse

Tears started streaming through my eyes after hours of fighting not to shed tears for him, I was feeling humiliated by the way his hand touched and roamed all over my body. I started struggling to come out from his strong grip but all in vain as he tightened his hold. He slowly started leaning in toward my lips, I shut my eyes tightly in anticipation waiting for the worst when suddenly his phone beeped on the nightstand. He ignored it at the first ring and proceeded to do what he was doing but then again his phone beeped furiously at the nightstand, causing a frustrated groan to slip out of his mouth. He sighed and got to get his phone. Not feeling his mighty weight on me, I opened my eyes and tried to sit up when suddenly a painful scream sneaked out of my mouth when his hand made it to my hair, holding my hair in a fist he started dragging me toward him. I screamed and held my head as the pain shot directly through my scalps. He leaned forward and whispered to my ear, at the sudd

With tears streaming down my face, my heart clenches in pain. Every breath feels heavy, but I refuse to let despair consume me. "Damien, why do you hold me captive when I mean nothing to you? What secret are you hiding?" The unanswered questions echo in my mind, fueling my determination to confront my father and seek his forgiveness. The storm outside may be terrifying, but I know I have to face it head-on. I whisper to myself, "I am a fighter, and I won't lose myself. It's time to face the truth."I dragged my tired body and unsteady legs out of the room, heading towards the closet. Rifling through my suitcase, I stumbled upon a stunning gown in a striking shade of blue, just the right amount of elegance and the way I wanted it. I quickly shed the clothes I had on and slipped into the alluring blue dress, making my way towards the room's side mirror. With a gentle touch, I concealed the fingerprints and scars around my neckline.Feeling somehow content with my appearance, I graceful

"Aunt..." I stammered, my words barely escaping my trembling lips.When did she come back from California? Her sudden return completely shattered the little hope I had left."You slutty bastard!!" she barked out, her voice filled with anger and disgust, taking a menacing step forward."When did you return?" I smiled, attempting to mask the tense atmosphere that now engulfed the entire house."Don't you dare!!" Her words echoed with a mix of fury and warning, piercing through the air with an intensity that sent chills down my spine.I took a step back, letting her words sink in. As much as it hurt, I realized she was right. I didn't have to pretend like everything was fine between us. I just needed to handle my business and move on."You evil child!" she spat venom in her words. I closed my eyes, holding back the emotions that threatened to spill over. This wasn't the first time she had hurled insults at me, especially since I lost my mother."I always knew you were no good, that you w

Sitting beside me is Mrs. Albrecht, carrying my three years old son, Ryan, in her arms. He is just the cardboard copy of his father, Damien. The only thing he took from me is just my deep blue ocean eyes, other features are just like that of Damien. Damien rubbed my right hand, and perked it before intertwining them in his. I looked at him and smiled, he didn’t lie when he said that he will make things right again. He had been incredibly sweet, easy going, jovial and

Ashley Time flies and before I knew it it was morning already. I spoke with Sebastian yesterday and he told me that he will be coming with a surprise package. Knock. Knock“I am coming," I shouted and perked Mrs. Catherina in the cheeks and hurried to open the door. “Hey Sebastian," I greeted with a warm smile and he smiled back. “How have you been?" “Just there," I replied, my eyes curiously trailing all over him for any present or anything but he came empty handed. Where is the surprise package?" Hey, you said that you have something that will cheer me up,” I pouted and he laughed while walking in." Yeah, I did," he replied but just then, Mrs. Catherina walked in. “Hey Sebastian." “Wow!" He went in to give her a warm hug, though I noticed they exchanged a strange look. What was that for? I opened my mouth to ask, but Sebastian beat me to it, “So, Ash, how's my little nephew?” He plopped down on the couch, and Mrs. Catherina returned to her cooking, humming a tune in the k

Damien The room is dark, with a smell of alcohol lingering in the air. I sat on the ground with another bottle of alcohol and leaned my head against the wall. It has been four good months that I haven’t seen Ashley. I have tried to reach her, to explain things but it was all a futile mission. She doesn’t want to see me. She had blocked me on all the social media platforms from reaching her. Since her absence, life has been hard and bitter on my side. I had to give up her father’s company and resigned as the owner but still she doesn’t want me. I know I wronged her but I am ready to fix things. To show her the sweet, jovial, and easy going side of me.But I guess it is all too late now. I pulled my hair and took another huge sip from the drink. For the past few months, I have regretted the life I had lived. How I had neglected her. I blamed myself day and night for not being so serious in finding her then after that night.I hated myself more…. More for the constant abuses,

It's been three months since I left Los Angeles, and I must admit, I miss Damien every single day. He's tried every possible way to reach me, bombarding me with countless apologies and calls, desperate to make things right. Yet, despite the ache in my heart, I still yearn for him. But the painful realization runs too deep, and I just can't bring myself to go back to him. My heart and mind are at war, torn between the love I still feel and the hurt I thought I'd never overcome.I felt utterly betrayed, so I blocked Damien on all social media platforms. Since then, the only people I've been in contact with are Sebastian and Jessica. Though I've also heard through the grapevine that Damien has relinquished control of my father's company and resigned as owner. But I couldn't care less, my father is already dead. As I sat on the couch, staring blankly at the TV in front of me, my mind wandered, not even concentrating on the news. When suddenly, the doorbell rang, signaling that someone

AshleyThe airport is full of people leaving and entering from arriving flights. I sat down on the bench there waiting patiently for my flight, when suddenly the airport's public address system crackled to life. The air traffic control personnel announce, their voice echoing through the terminal..."Attention all passengers and airport personnels, due to severe weather conditions, all flight departures are currently suspended. Please check with your airline for further updates and instructions.""What?!" I gasped, shocked. Which weather? I thought, glancing up at the small opening up there to see the sky but to my surprise, it was clear. Not a cloud in sight, no sign of rain or even a hint of turbulence.What are they now talking about? I wasn't the only one perplexed, my fellow passengers exchanged confused glances, and a low murmur and noises started rising and that’s when my phone beeped. I pulled it out from my pocket and it was Sebastian. "Hey, Sebastian," I answered, steppi

amien. Swirling my office chair around, my mind kept drafting to different directions. I won’t deny the fact that I am kind of scared about the abortion that Ashley is about to go through but then again… . I rubbed my face, and let out a deep sigh. What if I lose her? God forbid! I don’t think I will survive that, picking out my phone to dial Ashley’s number when suddenly the door to my office opened and Lucas walked in. "Good evening, boss," he said, but I just raised an eyebrow in response. Noticing my expression, he added, "Someone is here to see you, boss."Someone is here to see me? Who? I am not expecting anyone.“Who?" I asked, eyeing him up suspiciously. He gulped hard and scratched his neck nervously, “I think is best to see him," Him?Giving him a suspicious glare, I leaned back in my chair and nodded for him to let the person in. He nodded and went back to the door. My curiosity widened as the door opened, and I readjust to see the person but to my surprise, Seba

Tears were rushing down my face as I hurried down stairs. All my world seemed to be crumbling before me for real this time. My heart was full of pain, and hurt.I haven’t felt this broken before all through my life. It feels like I am suffocating. I held my chest, feeling a painful tug against my heart. So all the time I have been living with that monster from that very night. He was the reason that my life was full of pain, bruises, suffering and trauma. I was almost downstairs, when a hand suddenly grabbed me from behind and pulled me into an empty corridor in the restaurant. "Ash, please calm down, let's talk," Sebastian whispered urgently beside me. But I shook my head, tears streaming down my face. "No! No!" I exclaimed, my voice cracking. "He broke me!" I wailed, and Sebastian pulled me in a tight, comforting hug. I continued to sob, screaming, and venting all my anger and frustration until exhaustion took over.**** ***** Sitting across the table alone with Sebastian

“And how is this related to the stranger?" I turned to Sebastian but Layla was quick to answer. “I just wanted to tell you how everything happened,” she said, attempting to look pitiful But I am not buying those cheap looks on her face. She had betrayed me, and I wasn't about to forget it. " Then be fast, I don’t have all day,” I snapped, my patience wearing thin. Sebastian patted my hand to calm down. "After I caught them, I threatened to tell you," Layla said, tears streaming down her face. "Honestly, I wanted to tell you, but they used my grandma's condition against me." She sobbed, but I raised an eyebrow at her. "He offered to treat her for free if I kept quiet and went along with their plan. I was devastated...," she trailed off, sniffling. Sebastian handed her a tissue across the table, and she took it, turning to face me. "They threatened to kick my grandma out if I didn't cooperate. You know how much I love her; she's my only living relative. So, I agreed to play a

My ringing tone pulled me out of my sleep, and I yawned, stretching out my hand to grab the phone from the nightstand beside the bed. Again, Damien hadn't slept here last night. My head pounded as I tried to sit up straight in bed. I picked up the call without checking the caller ID and placed the phone to my ear. "Yes?" I sounded drowsy, my voice husky from sleep."Are you just waking up?" Sebastian chuckled from the other end of the line. Startled, I pulled the phone away and checked the caller ID. "Fuck," I hissed under my breath. "It's still morning," I said, yawning. I heard him chuckle again before saying, "When you're done, come to the eatery at Street 10 by the roadside." "Why?" I asked, my curiosity piqued. "It's about our last discussion," he replied. My gaze widened, and I instantly sat up straight in bed, my heart racing."Did you find anything?" I asked, clinging to the duvet in fear. I heard Sebastian sigh before saying, "Just come out, at least by 10 o'clock.
