VLADIMIRThe more I read, the harder my blood boils. I could just imagine how a girl would feel in a place like that. It would have been comparable to an angel banished into the darkest pits of hell.She was immediately thrown into the wolves the first night she got there. The ring was eager to get their money's worth, which is par for the course. I should know that.Why do I suddenly question how things work in my world?After a year, she tried to escape. She was auctioned that night. The winning bidder could take her home for a couple of days. She took her chances but it didn't go well.She was caught.Victor Rodriguez. That is the name of the man who won the bid.After the ring severely punished her after being caught, they returned her to that man. My jaw clenched.How my private investigator knew the details of how she was punished was impressive. But the severity of the torture she went through made me see red."Fuck them," I hissed.My hands weren't clean. They were also staine
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 34
YVONNEWe were arguing.But how did we end up like this again?Ah, I remember. I must have provoked him too well.I was just trying to help him but he had the audacity to insult me. I retaliated, thinking I should hit him where it hurt the most. If I had to crush his precious ego just to make him do what he needed to, then so be it.He harshly grabbed my face. Then, his tongue plundered harshly inside my mouth. Instead of pushing him away, I closed my eyes and let him ravish my lips.My head spun due to the sudden waves of sensations that hit me when his kisses turned even bolder, fiercer. I suddenly felt light-headed.I fell back with the intensity of his blustering kisses. A loud thud echoed in the room as my back slammed to the wall but none of us cared.Thoughts about the doctor's appointment vanished into thin air. All I could care about was the sensations he was giving me.I gladly accepted him and responded to his kisses with the same intense passion. I even parted my lips wide

"Where is it?!" I snapped.He had a bored expression on his face but it quickly changed when he looked at me. He stared at me with a heated gaze, making me realize that I was still naked.Damn it. How could I forget?I went to his walk-in closet, ignoring him as he yelled behind me."Get out before I drag your ass out of here!"I just shrugged. I grabbed one of his shirts and quickly put it on. I can't go back to my room."Sorry, but I think I'm the one who will drag you out," I told him while carrying the first aid kit I found in his bathroom."You won't give up, would you?" he snorted."Oh, I won't," I smirked at him before plopping on his bed, in front of him. "Now, let me see."He tried to pull his hand away but I quickly caught it. I glared at him before checking his wound. It looked nasty. Who in their right mind will make a punching bag out of a concrete wall?But oh well, at least he never thought of punching me instead. I was right in front of him!I laid his hand on my lap.
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 36
I don't know how I can share my life with someone. I never once talked about it. Not even with the girls I was with in the ring. It was depressing to tell and hear stories similar to mine.She's a doctor. A professional. She does this for a living. She's practically a stranger. Would it be easier to tell her about my dark past? "How about you tell me something about yourself first?" the doctor, Linda Chapin, gently prodded.I gulped."Relax. There are no right or wrong answers. You can tell me what you're comfortable with," she added.I took a deep breath. I leaned my back on the chair, trying to calm myself down. I will just talk to her. That's no big deal."I'm Yvonne Hechtman," I stated in a low voice.My name alone evokes so many emotions inside me. I blinked rapidly to stop the tears already forming behind my lids. A hard lump seemed to form in my throat, making it harder for me to speak.I gulped in a lungful of air to clear my restricted airway. I can do this, I kept chanting i
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 37
YVONNE "I want you to stay here," he repeats then turns to the doctor. "It's okay, isn't it?" he asked but his tone suggested otherwise. It sounded like the doctor didn't have a choice but to obey him. "Of course," Dr. Linda motioned to the couch. "Take a seat."She didn't look intimidated by Vladimir. Or maybe she was just an expert in concealing her emotions. After all, that's her specialization.Vladimir pulled me with him. He kept holding my hand even while we were sitting in front of the doctor. I shifted in my seat. Why do I even feel more anxious when it is his turn now? I bit my lip. I was the adamant one he took this session. But why do I feel like I didn't have the guts to stay and listen to whatever it is he is about to say? Why does he even want me here?! Vladimir frowned at me. I smiled sheepishly and tried to stay still beside him, leaving enough space between us but he pulled me until our bodies collided. I can see a ghost of a smile on the doctor's lips while wa
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 38
YVONNEI am so disappointed.I thought I won when I finally convinced him to have therapy with me but it turned out to be futile. Well, what else do I expect from a stubborn man like him?If anything, at least I knew he wasn't born with that condition. He said it began sometime four or five years ago. What could have happened to him during that time?Did he get into an accident? Surely it will be all over the news, right? I would have read about it when I researched about him on the internet. Unless he intentionally removed it.He's rich and powerful. I'm sure that is something he could easily do."Cora," I called my assistant."Yes?" she turned to look at me. I stared at her for a while, thinking how I could ask without her thinking I was weird."Uhm, do you know Vladimir's hobbies?" I asked. I decided to beat around the bush."Hobbies?" she echoed."Yeah, you know," I shrugged. "Maybe a sport or something. I know he likes diving but I want something we can bond over.""Why don't you
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 39
Why didn't we use this instead?I prefer this design. It looked more elegant. I thought as I stared at the rings stacked on my finger. Mine was just a simple band with a single diamond embedded in the middle. Vladimir's is the same simple design without the diamond.I held my hand up to have a closer look. I like the other ring's intricate design. It looked so elegant and feminine. Is it because of the wrong size? It would have been better if he got the right size in the same design instead of getting a completely different set.Unless...My trail of thoughts stopped when I heard movements in Vladimir's bedroom. Is he home? Shit.Shit!I quickly pulled out the ring from my finger but to my dismay, it wouldn't budge. Damn it! It got stuck!"Come on!" I was already panicking.I tried to pull harder but I couldn't get it past my knuckle! I gasped when I heard approaching footsteps. He's here! Without thinking, I quickly shoved the box back to where I found it. Then I quickly closed the

VLADIMIR "Is this the latest model?" I asked my assistant. "Yes Sir," he nodded. "It isn't released to the public yet." "Good," I dismissed him after that. I bought a new cellphone for Yvonne. She was using Cora's phone when I got home the other day, so I thought of giving her one. I haven't thought about it before simply because she could use it to devise an escape plan. Just a few taps and she could call an emergency hotline. I have high-ranking officials under my paycheck. They could do something about it but if I could avoid complicated situations beforehand, I would. Lately, though, I realized that she wouldn't do that. She had plenty of chances to escape if she truly wanted to. Not that I wouldn't find her, though. But she never tried after her first failed attempt.When we were on our honeymoon, she could pretty much do anything, including trying to run away but she didn't. When took her to the auction gala, she was left alone most of the time but she never even attempted

YVONNEThe construction of the shelter commenced almost immediately after it was approved. In the end, I chose the site in the suburban area over the one in the countryside.I'd be lying if I'd say Vladimir's past with Riva didn't affect my decision. But I chose it mostly because of the conveniences it offers. It would be more accessible for women seeking refuge compared to the one in the countryside where they have to travel for hours before they could reach.I personally oversee the progress from time to time while working on the foundation. With Dave's help, I am slowly learning the ropes of my job. I'm getting the hang of it. Now I can do a few tasks without his help.I flinched when I almost bumped into someone on the way to my office."Good morning, Yvonne," it turned out to be Mr. Anderson. Everything good in my morning faded at the sight of him.I clenched my jaw. I hadn't seen him in a while. I don't know where he was, but I wish he had just stayed there.I nodded curtly inst
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 110
YVONNEI stared at him. Was I too obvious?"What do you mean?" I chuckled awkwardly."I was just... Uhm, I still can't believe they approved the project, that's all," I grinned and tried to sound more enthusiastic.I plastered a smile on my face while he stared at me suspiciously. My upper lip quivered but I didn't dare move until he finally sighed and let the matter go.I sighed internally. I don't know how to tell him about my encounter earlier with Mr. Anderson.Have you ever heard of the Red Ring? His venomous voice still echoes inside my head. He knows.I don't know how. All I am certain is that he knew. He wouldn't dare speak to me about it if he wasn't confident. I'm sure he wouldn't want to provoke Vladimir over hearsay.But how? Was he a client of the ring? I don't know. I'm not sure. I may have had tons of clients but I can't recall any of their faces now.I used to block out everything as much as I could. I didn't want to remember the filthy things they did to me or the dis
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 109
VLADIMIR "We still couldn't track her down, boss," Blaze reported. My fists clenched. "How can an old woman disappear without a trace?" I hissed. "She has no connections! How hard is it to trace her whereabouts?!" my voice boomed inside my office. I was so fucking pissed. My men were turning into useless imbeciles these days! The harder it gets to find her, the more I think somebody's helping her. And I have to find out who it was before they can take any action against me. I'm sure they were using Yvonne's mother in the hopes that they could get to me through her. Well, they thought wrong.Did they? A small voice inside my head seemed to mock me. Hirushi's bloodied form in the basement flashed inside my head. My jaw clenched as I tried to push the image away. I didn't do it for Yvonne. It has nothing to do with her. I just don't like what the ring does in general. I despise people like them. Yes, I run a syndicate too. But I don't prey on the weak. I don't use helpless women
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 108
YVONNEOh god. This is it.I gulped. My legs were weakening from standing too long and the passing adrenaline, but I had to keep my stance."Those who are in favor of Project Eve, please raise your hands," Mr. Watson said authoritatively.Damn. This is the moment of truth.I looked down to briefly squeeze my eyes. I was a bit confident after the talk I had with Vlad before the meeting, but Jade made some valid points. And she also has a huge connection to Vladimir.I won't be surprised if the board would be torn about their decision. I took a deep breath before looking up.I sighed in relief when I saw that almost everyone in the conference room raised their hands in favor of the shelter, including Mr. Watson himself. I couldn't help but smile."We have a decision then," Mr. Watson said upon looking around. He then looked back at me and smiled."Congratulations, Mrs. Lewis," he genuinely said while firmly shaking my hand."Thank you," I nodded. I can't believe I made it.I know Vladim
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 107
YVONNE"Yes, Miss Foster?" I called to let her speak."This is a good idea," she started.I could already hear the but in her statement. She glanced at the papers in her hand. I can feel butterflies in my stomach while waiting for whatever she has to say. And they're not the good kind.The dramatic pause is killing me. I tried to brace myself from the possible blow she would give me."Although, I don't think it's necessary to start another advocacy that is out of line from what we are already doing," she said.I can see some of the members of the board glancing at each other. I don't know what they were thinking right now.Shit. I didn't expect this."LGC Foundation is already known for educational and health causes. I think we should focus on that," Jade said so confidently, that I had the urge to just cower in fear and hide in a corner.But since I couldn't do that, I took a deep breath instead and tried to process her words. I gathered my thoughts while I let her finish her comment
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 106
YVONNE I stood in front of the conference room even though it was just us. Dave set up the projector while my secretary put the hard copies in front of each seat. I took a deep breath while going over the presentation inside my head. "You can do this," Dave encouragingly said. I tried to smile. "Would you like coffee or water?" Jane, my secretary asked. "Just some water, please," I said before taking a seat. One by one, the board of directors started coming into the conference room. My heart beats faster every time someone comes in. "Good morning," I greeted back and nodded to each of them. "Relax," I heard Dave whisper behind me. "You look tensed." I tried to do as he said, but at that moment, Jade walked into the conference room. I frowned. I didn't know she would be here. When our gazes met, I tried to smile, but she only gave me a curt nod. Soon, all the chairs around the long table were slowly filled. My heart is already hammering inside my chest. I badly wanted to run
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 105
YVONNE"Let's go," Vladimir said when he saw me emerge from the hallway.He's also ready to leave. His three-piece black suit was stark in contrast with my all-white ensemble.My heart seemed to take a leap when he held his arm out to me. I smiled and placed my own against it hesitantly."Are you ready?" he asked."Yeah," I sighed.Dave told me everything I had to do. He even gave me a script to follow and the possible questions the board might ask during the presentation. Of course, he also curated well-crafted answers for them which I tried to memorize to the best that I could.We went out of the building together. His car was there together with two more SUVs. "I'm going to drive you there," he answered my unvoiced question. He must have noticed my confusion when he ushered me to his car. I thought I would be using one of the SUVs."But... Don't you have work?" I stupidly asked.
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 104
YVONNEIt's dumbfounding how our relationship seemed to have drastically changed in such a short amount of time. We are now like any normal couple out there. Although, I have very little knowledge about what a normal relationship felt like, ours seemed like one.Vladimir was acting like a completely different person. He is not the cold man I married a few months ago. Perhaps it has everything to do with his cured condition. He wasn't impotent anymore.Could you imagine, he just released five years' worth of pent-up cum?! Of course, he was relieved! I winced at the thought.We've been back from our vacation for about a week now. Everything's going smoothly between us ever since. I almost moved into his room, but tonight, he hadn't come home yet, so I decided to stay in my bedroom.My lids were already getting heavy when I heard the door creak. I was so sleepy so I just ignored it. I only opened my eyes when I felt someone stroking the wet s
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 103
YVONNEI was eager to try out the rest of the activities when I went to bed last night. But now that I'd woken up, I didn't even want to get up or lift a finger."Ugh," I groaned as I stretched out. My whole body was sore from all the activities I did yesterday."Are you okay?" Vlad grunted beside me. He didn't sound good either."No," I croaked. "All my muscles are screaming at me."I realized it had been a while since the last time I worked out. I used to be fit and active when I was in the ring. The pole dancing alone was already an intense workout. And I perform that almost every night.But after Vlad bought me, I haven't done any workouts. Instead, I just spend the rest of my day lounging in his fancy unit. He has a gym but it never appealed to me. Now I am reaping the results of my laziness."Do you want to try the remaining activities?" he uttered, his voice filled with sarcasm which made me wince inwardly."Sorry,
