I 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

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

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
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 101
YVONNEVladimir didn't even warn me!I pinched his stomach in annoyance, but he didn't seem to feel it. I buried my face into his back, waiting for my stomach to settle. I can feel it churning at our speed."Come on!" Vladimir yelled. "Loosen up! Have some fun!"I took a deep breath and tried to lift my head from him. I gasped. It took a while before I finally calmed down.I threw my head back and let the harsh wind blow my hair. He took a few sharp turns which made the ride even more exciting. We were going faster by the second and it was exhilarating!"Woohoo!" I screamed when he turned again. The water splashed around us violently because of the high speed."Hold on tight," I heard him yell, so I clutched my hands together in front of him and buried my face against his back again.After that, he sped up further into the ocean before running the jetski in circles. I kept screaming in excitement and fear.I was laughing
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 102
YVONNEVladimir drove us back to the shore. Then, he accompanied me in all the other water activities I wanted to try.We tried the kayak next and then the banana boat. They were okay but I prefer the jetski. It was way more exciting!"Hmm," I tapped my lips while looking at the list of what we could do. "What should we do next?""How about we take some rest?" he suggested."Huh? Why? Are you already tired?" I asked.A deep frown etched on his forehead as he darkly stared at me. Why? Did I say something wrong?"No," he muttered. "I was thinking about you. Aren't you tired?""No! I'm okay!" I'm practically bubbling with energy.I never thought I would be this excited over anything, but here I am practically jumping with eagerness."How about the jet blade, then?" I asked.It looked like a jet pack that was connected to a jet ski. The pictures in the brochure made it look so much exciting. It can push you up
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,
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 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 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

VLADIMIR My jaw clenched after listening to her. I can already imagine making Anderson suffer for it. Should I torture him as well? It wasn't too long ago since I got rid of Rodriguez while Hiroshi was still held captive. Just how many people do I need to get rid of because of her past? The basement would probably be filled to the brim if I kept everyone who hurt her hostage. Honestly, I don't give a damn about it. What happened to her wasn't her fault. She was a victim. "Don't worry," I muttered after a while. "I'll take care of it." She looked pale while looking at me as I spit those words with hatred. I watched her blink and take a deep breath as if trying to collect herself. "You should," she nodded. "That would be your problem anyway." I frowned. How did that become my problem? Well, now that I think about it, I realize she is right. It would probably cause a huge scandal on my part. My enemies and the media will surely feast on it once it's out in the open. But do I re

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

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

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
