Darkest Desires CHAPTER 191
YVONNEI looked at Vladimir, who seemed to be busy with something on his phone. His forehead was creased while he stared at its screen. He picked up his cup to take a sip of coffee before pressing the screen with his long fingers.My cheeks heated profusely at the sight of them lazily tapping on the keyboard. Damn. Vivid images from my dream the other day played inside my head. I gulped an imaginary lump in my throat as I tried to shake the dirty, dirty thoughts that started to pollute my mind.And here I thought I was getting better from my hypersexuality ever since I started the therapy. I sighed.I hadn't even thought about sex for a while! I had been so busy at the shelter I barely had time for myself. I'm usually dead on my feet by night, so all I want to do is sleep.Vladimir must have something to do with it. He can easily rouse the deepest, darkest desires that I thought I had completely shunned. He's really a devil in disguise! A walking temptation...Just look at him now. He

VLADIMIR"This project is important for the company's image right now. I can't afford to let you mess it up."What the hell am I talking about? Fucking asshole!She's right. What the fuck am I doing here? I gritted my teeth frustratingly.I stared at her as she glared at me as if she wanted to kill me. I took it as a chance to really look at her.She looked so different now. From her hair to her clothes and just her overall aura. She must have lost a few pounds. Did she do it on purpose? I don't know...Her long hair is cropped down to her chin, which shows her long, slender neck.I wanted to kiss her senselessly, to run my tongue along the sensitive skin behind her ear down to her shoulder, but I had to stop myself. Not just because we were in front of other people, but because I already lost the right to do so.I shifted on my feet uncomfortably. I can't believe I'm getting a fucking a hard-on in the middle of this argument!Fuck this.She sighed while shaking her head before walkin

VLADIMIR"Where have you been?" Jade asked when she saw me.I went to the warehouse after leaving the shelter. I thought I could use work as a distraction."I'd been trying to reach you for days now," she said."What's the matter?" I frowned."You need to sign these documents," she put some folders on my desk. I just glanced at them lazily. I'm not in the mood to work, but I don't want to go home either."By the way," she looked at me reluctantly. "I heard Riva was back. Are you okay? What happened?"I sighed heavily. This is the last thing I want to talk about."I'm busy," I stated dismissively.She glanced at the untouched files on my table, then looked back at me."You look like a mess," she commented.I chuckled humorlessly. I know.A knock on the door stopped me from talking back. I let whoever it is go in. Matias pushed the door open."Boss," he greeted while looking at me. He briefly glanced at Jade before looking back at me."You can go now," I told her. She looked like she wa

YVONNE"The invites were already sent," Dave said.We were in the middle of a meeting regarding the nearing opening of the shelter. We had invited big names, including businessmen and even local politicians.I am excited and worried at the same time. I have high hopes for this project. I wish I could execute it the way I have always envisioned it.I wanted it to be able to help as much as we could."How about the media coverage?" I asked.At first, I didn't want it to get this much attention, but LGC's PR team reached out to me about it. Apparently, the company needed the publicity to divert people's attention from Vladimir's divorce and cheating issues.He had been seen a few times with Riva and people suspected she was the third party and the reason behind the divorce. It's not a good look. I heard the stock prices dropped significantly ever since the rumors started spreading.I don't really understand how it works, but I guess I just have to carry out the orders. Vladimir mentioned

YVONNE"It's about Anne Hechter," he said.My whole body turned rigid all of a sudden. Anne Hechter...That's... She's..."I don't want anything to do with her," I almost didn't recognize my voice when I spoke."No," he sighed. "I just wanted to ask you some questions. You don't need to worry about her. She's already in jail and won't be out anytime soon.""W-what do you mean?" I confusedly asked. She's imprisoned?"She's already facing the consequences of her actions. She's being charged with human trafficking and other drug-related cases," Vladimir carefully explained while watching out for my reaction.I was dumbfounded. I didn't know how to react. His words sounded gibberish to my ears that I find it hard to process. I stared back at Vladimir while waiting for him to talk again.I don't know what's going on. Why is he suddenly interested in my... mother? The thought left a bitter taste on my tongue."Did you file the cases?" I asked.He slowly nodded as if he was scared of what my

VLADIMIRDamn it.Why does it feel like I'm missing something? It seemed like a jumbled puzzle in front of me. I could see all the pieces but couldn't figure out how to fix them.Fuck.Now, I regret coming here to ask Yvonne these questions. I could see the fear in her eyes as she tried to think about what had happened, but nothing came of it. Why did even I think of asking her in the first place?I should have known how traumatic the experience was for her. Now, it felt like opening a can of worms.I have a ton of men at my disposal. They can investigate it until I get the answers I need. It may take time, but I know we can get to the bottom of it."What is this all about?" Yvonne asked, breaking the quiet tension between us.I sighed."Nothing," I muttered. "I just wanted to make sure everything is settled before we move on with our lives."Something flashed in her eyes but it was gone before I could figure it out."I see," she nodded with a faraway look in her eyes.She looked at me

YVONNEWhat was that all about?Vladimir was long gone but I found myself still staring at the door he walked out of. Why is he suddenly asking about the kidnapping? And wait a damn minute, did he just tell me the woman who gave birth to me is now in jail?Did he... Did he do it for me? A tiny voice at the back of my head asked, but I quickly brushed it off, not wanting to entertain such a stupid idea."Why would he do it for me?" I muttered while taking a seat.He's clearly looking for answers for himself. That must be the reason why.It seems like Leon wasn't the only one who was after him. It wasn't surprising given his wealth and status. Not to add his underground activities. I may not know the details of that part of his life but what I'd seen was enough to conclude how dangerous that is.I sighed.The conversation with Vlad seemed to drain my energy. It kept going on inside my head like a broken record."Did I miss anything?" I asked while staring at my ceiling.I should go to s

YVONNE I shouldn't assume that he's here for me, should I? I sighed exasperatedly. He'd already robbed me of a good night's sleep. I won't let myself in another torture by sitting beside him in an enclosed space. I'd rather walk to the shelter! So, I pretended I didn't see him and walked straight to Phil's car but before I could reach it, I felt a hard hand grabbing my elbow. "Yvonne," Vlad grumbled behind me. "Oh!" I exclaimed when I turned to look at him. "Vlad! What are you doing here?" I should be given an award. I can say my acting is flawless, but he doesn't seem to buy it. The deep crease between his brows told me he's not taking my bullshit. "Get in," he said in a low but threatening voice while motioning to his car. "Is there a problem?" I heard Phil ask. Shit. "Uhm, sorry, Vlad," I pulled my arm away from his hold. "I already agreed to go with him." Before he could protest, I hurriedly hopped into Phil's car. He looked at me for a while before glancing at Vladimir

VLADIMIRI wished she could have stayed in bed with me a little longer, but I knew she had things to do—and so did I."I'm gonna drive you there," I told her as I got out of her bed.I don't understand how I was able to sleep soundly there. Perhaps it was my exhaustion or maybe it was just her. She has the ability to calm all the raging demons inside me."Uhm, okay," she hesitantly stated. "Coffee?""You don't need to bother. We can grab some breakfast before we go to the shelter," I said."Oh," she nodded before hurrying into a door which I assume was the bathroom.I looked around her tiny unit. I don't know why she's putting up with this when she can get a better place. I made sure she was paid enough to live comfortably. That was the only thing I could think of when she refused to accept anything from me.We dropped by a cafe to have our breakfast before I drove her to the shelter."I'll pick you up later," I told her when I stopped the car."Uhh," she played with her fingers on he

YVONNEI stared at my phone's screen. I sighed and put it down only to pick it up again. I scrolled randomly before finally tossing it away. I don't know why I seem to be waiting for it to ring or something.Oh, who am I kidding?!Of course, I was waiting for him to call or at least send a message! I chewed on my bottom lip, replaying our last conversation in my head. What if that was just a dream? Damn it!What did he even mean when he asked me for some time? What am I supposed to do? Should I just stay here and wait until he comes back? It's okay, right? I should give him that. But...Damn. The waiting game is giving me so much anxiety!What if he suddenly changes his mind when he talks to Riva? What if she makes him realize that he was just confused? What if it was just lust he was feeling for me? Ugh!I groaned while covering my face with a pillow. I'm alone in my unit again, overthinking! This would be the death of me!I don't know what else to do. I tried my best to keep myself
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 210
VLADIMIRNo. This can't be right.I glanced at Blaze who was looking at me apologetically."I know it's hard to believe, but everything points to her," he said.I harshly wiped my face with my palm. It's unbelievable. I can't imagine how she was able to orchestrate something like this.Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I thought bitterly.I squeezed my eyes shut before looking at the files Blaze had given me when I arrived. I scanned them again, making sure I wasn't seeing things. I gritted my teeth while reading.They were complete with bank transactions, emails, and phone calls. I don't know how he got all of this but it doesn't matter now, does it?Everything was traced back to Riva. Riva!My seemingly innocent wife. Her sweet smile flashed at the back of my mind. How could she do this to me? I never once suspected her. Even now, with everything my men found against her, I still find it hard to believe.How could she do this to me?How? Why? Some of the bank transactio
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 209
YVONNEMy head is reeling. I stood behind the closed door, replaying everything that happened inside my head. To say I was dumbfounded is an understatement.I'm in love with you.I can still hear his husky voice and feel his warm breath fanning against the sensitive skin on my neck. Speechless after he said those words, I didn't even try to look at him, even though I could feel his glances while driving back to my unit.I don't know how to process it. It seemed unrealistic. Did he really say those words? Was I dreaming?I pinched my arm so hard to prove that I am awake. I groaned when pain hit me.Shit. It was real!"Aah!" I screamed so loud that I must have woken up the entire building!Damn it! I jumped into the daybed and pushed my face against a pillow, trying to muffle my screams against it.I'm losing my mind!How can he be in love with me? I can't believe this. He must be playing with me! But why would he lie about it?I rolled to my back and stared at the ceiling as if his fac

VLADIMIR"I promise I'll make it right."Her whole body became rigid in my arms when I held her. I know this sounds like an empty promise, but I meant it."I..." I took a deep breath. I turned her around to look at her. I wanted to see her face. I wanted her to see how genuine my feelings were."I'm in love with you," I told her while staring deep into her eyes. Her lips parted in shock. I had the strongest urge to ravish those lips, but this wasn't the time for that."Do you understand?" I asked when she didn't even blink.I cupped her face, pressing my forehead against her. I can hear her ragged breaths as if she was on the verge of a panic attack."I love you," I whispered. "But I need to make things right this time. I need to... end things with Riva so we can start on a clean slate."She remained dumbfounded. She was just staring at me as if I'd grown another head."Yvonne," I gently called her name. "Did you hear me?"She only nodded but still didn't say anything. I guess it was
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 207
YVONNE"Leave," even I was surprised at how my voice turned out full of conviction. I stared at the darkness in front of us.We were still in the middle of the road when he suddenly stopped the car.He chuckled humorlessly, probably from my audacity to give him an order like that. But I don't care anymore. I just need to do what I have to protect my heart from further breaking into pieces. Because if not me, nobody will."Stop playing with me," I said."I don't know what kind of game you are playing right now," I told him, my voice dripping with raw emotions. I didn't even try to hide how I really felt.I am confused and devastated. His mere presence is enough to fuck me in the head. Every time I see him around, it gives me a glimpse of hope. I don't want to. God knows I don't want to, but my stupid heart couldn't help but assume.Assume that he was here for me. Assume that he missed me. The more I see him, the more I expect him to talk to me and tell me he wants me back.It was pathe
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 206
VLADIMIR What was I thinking? I thought, staring at her as she obviously checked out everything in the room except me. How could I become so impulsive around her? I shouldn't have dragged her here in the pretense that I wanted to talk. I just wanted to be with her for a little longer and that's the only thing I could come up with when it seemed like she couldn't wait to get away from me. "What do we need to talk about?" she asked impatiently. I badly wanted to pull her closer, to wrap her in my arms and inhale her intoxicating scent to calm my shit down. But I stopped myself. As much as I wanted to confess to her, I wanted to settle everything first. I wanted to do it right this time. I should end things with Riva, before even thinking of taking her back. I owe it to both of them. What should I tell her though? My mind was blank. Fuck it. "What?" she muttered while looking at me with a puzzled expression on her face. It felt like I was saved by the bell when I heard a knock
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 205
YVONNEI chose a semi-formal emerald green dress. I took it from the rack and held it in front of me, imagining how I would look if I wore it."It suits you."I gasped audibly when I heard his voice behind me. I turned to look just to find him standing at the closet's entrance. I gulped when I caught his gaze lingering on my body.My cheeks heated up profusely. I can feel the temperature around us suddenly rising. I couldn't help but glance at the air conditioning unit in the room. It's turned off. It's definitely the reason why it's getting hotter here.I'm sure it had nothing to do with Vladimir leaning languidly against the doorframe, looking so damn... Fine..."Uhm, thanks," I murmured, fighting the urge to bite my lip. "I'll take this for the opening ceremony. I hope you won't mind."He looked around the closet. I noticed his jaw ticked when he must have realized that everything was still there."I don't care," he looked back at me. This time, he stared into my eyes intently. "Yo
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 204
YVONNE The silence that greeted me in the apartment was deafening. I suddenly wished I let Selene come with me again. I sighed as I plopped myself into the daybed. I stared at the ceiling as if it was interesting. I felt so exhausted after another day of pretending I was fine. I'm not. I even think I am on the brink of insanity. I'm barely holding on by a thread so as not to fall on the other side. I don't know what I want anymore. I want him gone when he's around, but my heart screams for him when he's not. Damn it. If that's not insane, then I don't know what else is! "Ugh!" I groaned loudly. I should seriously stop thinking about him! I harshly get out of bed to find something else to do to occupy my mind. I winced when I realized there was no food left. I was quite hungry because I had not eaten anything while in the shelter. I sighed. I had no choice but to go out. I can also drop by the store to buy some stocks. I just gathered my hair up into a messy bun, then grabbed
