Darkest Desires CHAPTER 93
YVONNE "Yvonne," Vladimir's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I quickly slid the photo back and closed the drawer. "Why?" I turned to look at him. "I-I'm looking for something to wear," I stuttered defensively.His jaw clenched as he looked at the open closet. Something cold seemed to have spilled in my stomach when I realized something. How could I be so dumb? Why haven't I thought of it?These clothes are hers! My hands fisted on my sides. I suddenly want to go home. But the thought of the penthouse as my home made me even more bitter. I have no home. I'm an outsider there. "Are you okay?" he frowned. "Can I borrow your shirt instead?" I asked. "Huh? What's the matter? There are plenty of clothes there. Most of those are new," he said. "Uhm, but they're too thin," I shrugged, struggling to make an excuse not to wear her clothes. It's probably the reason why Vladimir thought I was her last night. He was dead drunk. It was dark and I was wearing her clothes. It was definit
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 94
VLADIMIR"Who are you talking to?!" I growled when I finally found Yvonne in the cabin's back deck.I've been looking for her all over the house. Yet here she is, leisurely passing the time through a video call.She sounded so excited to talk to whoever it was on the other line."It's Dave," she turned her laptop so the screen would face me.I hated how his name rolled out of her lips. My jaw clenched when I indeed saw him. Why are they talking to each other? Didn't they know this could compromise our safety?"Sir," he said when he saw me. I forced myself to nod in response before turning to Yvonne."Tuned that shit off," I grumbled in a low voice."But..." she was about to argue but I quickly cut her off by raising my hand."Fine," she sighed."I need to go, Dave," she told him. I was tempted to crush her fucking laptop with my hands. I didn't hear what Dave said.Perhaps he was smart enough not to fuel my anger. He'd been working for me for more than a decade. He knew me.She clicke
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 95
YVONNEI chewed on my bottom lip when he sat beside me. I don't think this is a good idea. Actually, it seemed like a terrible one. I just knew it.His manly scent immediately wafted through my senses. He always smells so good. It was the only thing I could think of, damn it. How am I supposed to finish anything when my brain ceases to function around him?I shook my head to somehow clear my mind."Is there something wrong?" Vladimir asked."No," I gasped. "It's just... uh." I struggled to form coherent thoughts.Fuck. What was I doing again? Ugh!I mustered all my strength to be able to look away from him. I turned to my screen to remind myself of what I was doing."Uhm, Dave told me to make a draft of the project's mission," I told him when I finally gathered my wits."Why do you always have to talk about him?" he asked, sounding pissed.I turned to look at him. My forehead creased when I saw the serious expression on his face. What's wrong with that?"What?" I confusedly asked."St
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 96
VLADIMIRJealous?Why would I be jealous?I frowned while looking at her. Why would she even think that?My jaw clenched when I realized the reason why. I snorted and walked away without bothering to answer her stupid question.I don't know why I was suddenly pissed with Dave. But I am sure it has nothing to do with her. I'm not jealous!I shook my head. What am I doing? I've already wasted enough time helping her. I should just focus on what I needed to do. I called Blaze to finalize the plan for tomorrow."I need to leave," I told Yvonne the next day."What do you mean?" she frowned. "Are you going to leave me here?""Yes, Mike will have to go with me but the other two bodyguards will be left here with you," I tried to explain."But why?" she confusedly asked. "Is there something wrong?""No," I muttered while looking straight into her eyes. "I will leave tonight when the chopper arrives.""Why can't I just come with you? I don't want to be left here alone," she insisted."You're no
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 97
VLADIMIRIt all happened so fast. The girls escorted by Mike were able to go out without any hitch. They were led to a van waiting behind the building. It immediately sped up after the girls hopped in."Fuck," Blaze muttered while staring at the screen. "They're caught!"I looked at the screen and saw some of our men fighting with the syndicate. The girls behind them were clamoring, not knowing what to do."John, staircase, second floor!" I hissed."Copy!" I heard him reply immediately through the earpiece.The whole place turned into chaos as soon as the syndicate discovered our presence. I cursed while looking at the screens. Thankfully, John was able to help rescue the girls."Blow up the dancefloor," I ordered when I saw the girls were already near the exit. We needed a distraction. Also, I seemed to have a personal vendetta against that fucking dance floor.That is where I first saw Yvonne.
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 98
VLADIMIRI leaned back and closed my eyes. Surprisingly, I felt calm and at peace despite the exhaustion. Even the noise from the helicopter's rotors didn't bother me.The feeling of contentment calmed me down. I have avenged her. Now all I wanted was to see her. I couldn't wait until I held her in my arms. I know what I did couldn't take back all the pain and suffering she had been through. I'm not even sure if this was what she wanted. But I wanted to do it for her.All that's left to deal with is her mother. But I will take care of her some other time. For now, I just wanted to take her away from everyone."Vlad!" the sound of my name from her lips echoed inside the house as she yelled while running down the stairs."Yvonne!" I roared when she almost tripped. "Stop running!"Of course, the stubborn woman acted like she didn't hear anything."You're back!" she exclaimed when she stopped in fro
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 99
YVONNEI woke up tangled in bed with Vladimir. My cheeks blushed profusely when I remembered how he made love to my body last night.I knew it was making love. Not a hook-up or plain fucking. We made love. Is it possible even if we're not in love?A small voice inside my head kept whispering negative thoughts, telling me that Vladimir must have mistaken me for her again but I pushed it off.I turned a deaf ear to it. I knew what I felt.It was so different from all our heated encounters before. He was so gentle, so passionate.I can still feel my skin tingling from the intense sensations he made me feel."Stop staring," I almost fell from the bed when I heard him suddenly speak. I didn't notice he was already awake! My face warmed up even more.But how did he know I was staring when his eyes were still closed?"I'm not," I tried to deny but he only laughed at me."I can feel your heavy st
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 100
YVONNEI let my eyes marvel at the beauty in front of me.My lips parted in awe as I looked at the piece of paradise waiting below us. It's just so beautiful! The blue water is so clear that I can see the white sand beneath it.Now I can't wait for this thing to land! I can't wait to wade into the water!The island seemed untouched but upon a closer look, I saw that there were a few buildings near the shore.I still felt giddy when we landed on the designated helipad. He turned it off while I took off my seatbelt and headphones."How was the ride?" he cockily asked when we stepped out of the chopper.I rolled my eyes at him but didn't say anything. I looked around.Wow. Just wow. His properties must be never-ending! Good for him."Are we the only ones here?" I asked."As much as I would love the idea of that, no," he said. "This island is rented out to other people. There are in-house staff but d

VLADIMIR"Take me to the foundation," I growled as soon as I got into the car.The startled driver nodded when I slammed the door close.Fuck it! I just lost another deal! Fuck. Fuck!I pressed my fingers against my throbbing temple. I'm getting a headache from all of this!At first, I wanted to resort to violence. Noel and Hiroshi are still in the basement. I could let off some steam through them but then I thought of Yvonne. The foundation is closer to where I am now.The thought of her smiling as she did her job lessened my stress. If I could let off some steam in more pleasurable ways, why not?I went straight to her office, not minding the employees I walked past. They all greeted me, but I chose to ignore them.I grabbed her immediately. I nuzzled against her hair, inhaling her sweet, addicting vanilla scent. It must have a calming effect since it almost instantly calmed my nerves down."Uhm... Did something happen?" I heard her ask. I just made up a lousy excuse for wanting to
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 111
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
