Gavriel's POV
"While the silk produced doesn't need any reinforcements, we are yet to..."
No calls. The device's blank screen glared up at me and I glared right back. I pocketed the device and tried to focus on the new silk thread my research team had worked on.
Key word, tried.
No texts. Camille hadn't responded to any of the malls or texts. Why I had even bothered in the first place was beyond me.
If anything, she was the one who ought to apologize for her silly behavior. I tried to give her a break. I tried to focus more on the fact that she was younger and half the time I may not understand why she was hiding things from me.
I knew she wasn't cheating. Camille wasn't that type of girl. I had also run a background check on this Jordan jackass and he was her ex boyfriend. Ex. How she had da
Gavriel's POVI dialed Caldwell's number immediately."I saw it. You're not paying a dime.""What the hell am I supposed to do? I can't let him hurt Camille," he sounded stricken.Ten million dollars. Was that why Camille had looked so sad? Someone was blackmailing her. Possibly that Jordan. It made sense why she felt afraid and had lashed out at me instead.And what had I done?I had iced her out. Fuck. I grabbed a handful of my hair, trying to quell the agitation that had my blood boiling. She hadn't called or texted because she hadn't been able to. How could she have when some bastard had tied her up to a chair- how long had she been that way?"We'll track him down," I hissed, striding into my office.
Camille's POVI watched a rat scratch against some glass bottle, trying to get a peanut out of it. The poor thing kept scratching, but that was all he could do.In a way, I was like that poor thing. I had been wiggling like an earthworm trying to shimmy my way out of these stupid bounds.Too bad that only worked in James Bond movies. My arms were sore from fighting the ropes, and considering I hadn't eaten anything since Jordan dragged me down to this damned place, I was pretty spent."Well, hello," Jordan opened the door. His annoying voice echoed in the warehouse and scared the rat away from his beloved peanut. "How's my darling doing today?""Better now that you're here,"If he heard the sarcasm in my voice, he ignored it, skipping towards me like he had hit the jackpot. 
Camille's POV"Get enough rest and drink plenty of water," The doctor urged, tapping on the file in her hands with a pen. "I know Doc, you've said that in the past week," I groaned. "It's just a few bruises. I've been fine like three days ago.""Well this isn't on me, young lady," Doctor Abby scoffed, a playful grin on her face. "Your dad and uncle made it specifically clear that all your bruises had to be healed before you're discharged. I'm not about to lose my job."Gav wasn't my uncle. I would tell her that but then I would have a lot of other explanations to do. I would rather not go down that road."You're the professional, you should be able to help your patient's when their family members go all crazy!" I groaned. "I'm tired of this place. It stinks of disinfectant every single time."Abby rolle
Camille's POV"Are you sure you're fine enough to work?"I walked down the stairs, a tired look on my face. But because I was physically tired, but because I was exhausted with the way my father obsessed over me."I'm fine,""I could call Dr Abby if you want-""I don't want to," I groaned. "Dad, I spent a week in the hospital and ten days at home with you. I'm tired of sitting on my butt all day."And tired of rarely seeing Gavriel. In ten days I had seen him just four times. Four times. And the most I had gotten when he visited was a kiss on the forehead.It was frustrating.Where was the man who had fucked me while my dad stood on the other side of the door, looking for him?Okay that was a horrible way to prove a point, but it was true. Ga
Gavriel's POVPuppies. Thorns. Salt. Tits. Camille's tits. Pale Ivory skin with cherry red nipples and I wanted so badly to wrap my mouth around it and taste them. I tried to tear my gaze off her full breasts and look her in the face, but she looked so hurt, I'd rather just stare at her beautiful breasts. Why had I buttoned them up? Now I couldn't see her nipples- what the hell was wrong with me?"Gav?""You need time to heal, Camille,"She looked at me like I was crazy.And perhaps I was. I had almost lost her to some jackass who kidnapped her. She had passed out when we rushed her to the hospital. She hadn't heard a doctor ramble on about several issues that could have happened if I hadn't gotten her there as quickly as I did. I had b
Camille's POV"Too much?" I grinned at Gavriel who eyed my lingerie like it was some forbidden contraption that I shouldn't be wearing. Perhaps it should be forbidden. I gotten it a year ago when I had been on one of my many shopping sprees.It was a one-piece black lingerie made from ropes and tiny patches of fabric. The tiny patches covered my nipples and a bit of pussy. Asides from the patches, well I was practically naked.But that was one of things I loved about lingeries. They made covers just wanted men to see but let enough to tease a reaction out of them."Too fucking little," he rasped. "Get in here,""I brought a little something we could okay with,"I held my hands up and he groaned."Is that lube and a dildo? Camille,"&
Camille's POV"Oh my god, oh my god," I panted, hanging off the edge of the jacuzzi, struggling to catch my breath. "That was, that was amazing,""Good," he murmured, placing butterfly kisses on my shoulders as he withdrew the dildo from my pussy. I gasped when he shoved it back in my ass."Gav?"He chuckled darkly, "I'm not done with you, Camille.""Gav I don't think I can take anymore," I said, glancing over my shoulder to see him get rid of his briefs. My mouth watered and I licked my lips, wetting them. "Okay, maybe I can,"I felt parched as hell. I hadn't seen Gav's cock in weeks. I should be parched. The lovely bronze skin pulled taut with all those veins roping around it. That wide girth that my hands could barely wrap around. That pink, glistening head. It was monstrous.
Camille's POVMy lips parted when two broad fingers found their way up my pussy. I could feel myself getting wetter just from the thrill of it.Gavriel was fucking me in public. With his fingers. I gripped his shirt when he began thrusting them in and out of my cunt, grinding them slowly."This is crazy," I moaned, fisting his shirt. "We could get caught,""We will if you don't keep on the lookout," he teased, leaning down so his lips grazed my ears."Do you like this baby girl? Anyone could be looking at us right now, wondering if we're hugging but my fingers are cramped up your pussy. Do you like it?""I do," I panted, closing my eyes when he increased his pace. My knees buckled and so I held on to him tighter. "I love it,"He spanked me with his free hand and more juices seeped down his fingers
Gavriel's POV"Oof!" I grunted when Camille threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around my neck and sobbing into my chest.Her tears made me feel like an asshole. I heard her. All while I was stuck in the damned coma, I heard her talk to me. Her voice was mostly muted and I could barely hear the words properly. But I heard enough snippets that made me ache desperately to see her again."Miss, give us a minute and you can hog him to yourself later," The doctor examining me said with a chuckle, trying to pry Camille off.She refused to let go and I grinned. I feared I would never see her again. That somehow I would lose her. With my free hand, I brushed her hair, murmuring in her ears."I'm sorry darling. I should have woken sooner,""No, no," She sniffed, looking up at me with red-rimm
Camille's POV"Miss Caldwell, what would you say about the current health situation of Mr Donovan?"Oh great, the press was here. I hadn't noticed them gathering in clusters until I was out of the car. I had gone out to get something to eat. It was noon and I hadn't eaten since noon the previous day. I hadn't wanted to leave Gavriel's side. It wasn't until my eyes felt dizzy and I was certain I would pass out that I had tried to find a diner.Two burgers later and a diet coke in the parcel bag clutched tightly between my fingers, I was standing before some twenty reporters waving their microphones and cameras at me.I had almost forgotten they existed. "What are your remarks on the scandal?""Did you know Gavriel Donovan had a twin brother?"My eyes widened on the
Third POVVictoria Harrington was done.Done with holding back. Done with keeping up with the mess in her head. She was a dripping mess. It had taken a few trial and error to escape the policemen. They could be incredibly dumb when it came to handling a woman who wanted to pee.Sure she ended up shooting a policeman in the leg and got slammed against the van that was supposed to transport her, but it was just a mere sacrifice she had to make.Right before her was the bane of her existence. Two of them. Gavriel, her ex-husband, and his young stupid lover. Anger surged through Victoria and she gripped the gun tighter, pointing it right at Camille."Victoria," Gavriel's deep voice filled the quiet wardroom. "Put down the gun,"If Nolan hadn't come to pick her up while she escaped the police van, she probably
Camille's POV"Are you sure you will be fine on your own?"The woman who helped me the night before was Faye. She had heard my screams while she was in her home and had looked out the window to see what was going on. She hadn't wasted time rushing out of the house and driving down the road like she was some passerby.I would always be grateful to her. She didn't just drop me off at the police station and be on her merry way. She dropped a witness statement that I had been kidnapped and a team of police was sent to retrieve Nolan while I gave my report and the recordings of what had happened with Gavriel.We stayed overnight at the station. The team sent after Nolan returned empty-handed stating that the building had been abandoned. Of course, he ran away. Faye had stayed with me today until the evening. She had been a darling. 
Gavriel's POVThe first time I felt hunger in the true sense of it, was when I was sixteen. It had been two days after my birthday and I had escaped one of the foster homes the government had tossed me in. I spent the night in an alley. Found a spot behind a pillar to rest and woke the next morning to some barman chasing me away with a stick.That morning, my stomach felt empty. It growled and grumbled but I couldn't get anything to eat. Not in the trash cans and certainly not from the kindness of strangers. By noon, my mouth was dry, my insides were hot. The next day, my arms and legs were useless, my tongue was stuck to the roof of my tongue. I had a maddening headache and everything started to look tasty.That was hunger. Sixteen-year-old me would not have survived if Old Robert hadn't found me.
Third POVGerard Donovan drove his car over the uneven road and let out a series of curses as his car dipped into a pothole and then crossed over a tree root. He would never for the life of him understand why Victoria had picked the warehouse hidden in the woods when one of Gavriel's safe houses would have worked just fine.His brother had to have safe houses right? Didn't rich people with so much money invest in that type of shit? Gerard wouldn't know seeing that his entire adulthood had been ripped away from him.By his parents. By his brother. And by the two policemen who stuffed him in their car at the age of fifteen and carted him off to jail. His life had changed after that.While in prison, he had heard news about his brother. Gavriel considered himself too holy to visit him and so for thirty years, Gerard watched his brother grow on TV in the
Camille's POVWhen I regained consciousness, my head felt so heavy. There was a loud pounding sound that filled my entire head and had me groaning in pain. Opening my eyes burned. It felt as though someone had taped them shut and rippling the eyelids apart was pure hell.When I managed to open them, I breathed heavily. Everything was a blur due to the tears that had gathered from the pain. I blinked them away rapidly, trying to focus.There was a ceiling. White ceilings that connected to green walls and then some rustic brown rug. It wasn't my taste, but it wasn't bad to look at. I rubbed my forehead, trying to ease the headache that threatened to pound my brain to mush. Where was I?What happened? The last thing I remembered was... Shit!Nolan had hit me! The bastard rammed my car lik
Camille's POVI clasped a hand over my mouth.Gavriel had a brother? I had never... I would never have thought that was possible until now. Until I saw Gerard. He never told me.I don't think Dad knew about it. Dad never mentioned Gav had a brother, but at least he knew about Victoria's existence."That's a bit cold coming from his twin brother," Victoria chuckled as if she just told a funny joke.Gerard snorted.Twin brothers. Now it made a bit more sense.At first glance, Gerard and Gavriel look exactly alike. Anyone could confuse the two of them. But I knew everything about Gavriel like the palm of my hand. That had to be why Gerard kept me shut out by the security.He didn't want me to discover this.He drove past the company,
Camille's POVHe cocked his head to the side, his eyes grazing my entire frame, from my clothes to the makeup on my face. There was no heat behind his gaze. There used to be so much behind his gaze. Was it so simple for him to turn it off and on?"I would ask how you got past security, but that would be redundant no?"I gave an airy laugh and dropped on the seat before him. "I had to. You wouldn't see me."He shrugged then resumed scanning through the document on his desk. "I believe I have made myself clear. Are you always this clingy and clueless?"The insults stung. At least now I knew how he felt when I insulted and accused him of murdering Dad."I am. You used to love it,"He scoffed. "Of course. Well I don't love it now, Miss Caldwell. And I am trying to work. See yourself out, will
