ELIZABETH'S POV

'Oh, I'm so sorry mistress, I didn’t know you were the one standing over there. I thought it was one of the servants. You must leave this arena, my mistress. If the Don sees you here Under my watch, I will be held accountable For your actions.' A guard said and walked me to my room.

'Is anybody forbidding from staying there?' I asked in genuine curiosity.

'I am not allowed to answer your questions mistress, but the Don requested that you should not be by yourself in this estate.' He said and walked off.

I chuckled in realization. Adam doesn't want me sniffing around the compound. How cliché because that was exactly what I resolved to do. I knew he was suspicious of me, but that could not stop me from achieving my goals.

I paced around the room for a while trying to figure out Adam's weak point.

I remembered how his eyes spoke thousands of lustful words in my ears before he caught himself. I remember the desires I saw in his eyes when I stepped out of the car. I knew w

    ADAM'S POV 'Kevin?' I asked in shock.'Yes, boss?' He asked, bending his head in submission.'You seem like you have something to say?' I asked, looking at him expectantly. The other Brodas turned too, waiting for whatever he will say.'I'm sorry for interrupting you, but I don't think we should kill her yet. She can serve a much bigger purpose sometime later in the future,' He said, his head still bowed.'What do you suggest then?' I asked, still curious.'Let's send her to the sisterhood caven, where she'll be taught fierce loyalty. Afterwards, she will be one of ours.' Kevin answered.I looked from Kevin to Yumi and back to Yumi. My eyes lingered on her for a while. It will be very hard to get Yumi to be part of us. It will take severe torture, and she might die in the process. Well, that will be a win-win.'Just allow me to die in your hands, Adam,' Yumi said tiredly.I chuckled at her and turned to Kevin. 'Very well then. I'm sure she'll serve a much better purpose.' I said and

    ELIZABETH POV:Adam watch out!' I screamed in fear.I guess he didn't hear as he swivelled to the left, right where the danger zone was. I didn't recognise any of the huge men that stood there.'Who are these people, and what do they want?' I yelled in horror. In as much as I act strong and tough, I know how to retreat from danger zones when I see one.Ignoring me and my wails, Adam turned to my maidservant. 'Lizzy, protect your mistress. Never let her out of your sight. If anything gets tensed, you know what to do.' He said protectively.Lizzy nodded curtly in understanding and locked the car after Adam went out.'What did he mean by that?' I asked tearfully after Adam got out.'I will explain later, but for now, you have to sit tight and watch them,' she said, hushing me.I watched as Adam walked closer to the men and tried to have a conversation with them. They sized him up instead and walked dangerously close to him.And that exact moment, Lizzy pressed an emergency button I never

    ADAM'S POVAdam watch out!' She screamed in fear.I don't see it until it's too late, a black car with tinted windows stops very close to ours and I almost bump into them.Thankfully, I managed to get the car in place before loosening my seatbelt. I watched in confusion as two hefty guys came out of the car and charged towards ours.Quickly, I left Lizzy with specific instructions and left the car. I walked up to them and demanded some sort of explanation. They didn’t know who they were dealing with.‘Why did you bump into us?’ I asked the first man angrily.'You should be grateful you're not dead yet,' one of them said sarcastically and charged for me.'What is it you want?' I asked, trying to pacify them.'We received specific orders to kill you and bring the woman in the car alive,' the other one said.Elizabeth? How did they know about Elizabeth? And how did they know that we were coming that way? Something wasn't right.'We can make this easy for you. Give us the girl and we will

    Elizabeth’s POV‘He has requested that you meet him in Sir Richard's private chambers. We're here to get you prepared to see your husband.' They said and I could hear a scorn from one of them. I ignored her because she knew nothing about my plans.They bathed and scrubbed me well and dressed me in the finest purple gown I had laid eyes on. I looked terrific when they were done with the light makeup, which did nothing but complement my beautiful face.'He's waiting, mistress,' Lizzy said and gestured me to follow her. We walked from the east wing to the west wing, where Richard's room was.'Leave us,' Adam said to the guards and the maidservants accompanying us.As they left, Adam gestured for me to sit beside him. 'I'm so sorry for how I treated you yesterday. I was in pain and I wasn’t thinking straight. Do you forgive me?' He asked genuinely.I looked into his eyes and saw how truthful they were. I hated the fact that I could not completely ignore him. I hated the little tingling fe

    ADAM'S POV'You should see things for yourself,' Kevin said and left the room.I raced to Richard's room immediately.‘The doctor said that his health is deteriorating seriously and he had little time to live.' Kevin whispered in my ears.We walked down to his room and found the doctor attending to Richard. 'Adam, thank God you're here. These are the prescriptions he needs to keep him going, but I will be very honest with you. He has very little time,' the doctor said as a matter of fact.'What do you think will help his condition?' I asked carefully, not allowing my voice to slip.'Human connection. He doesn't need to be isolated. I have seen patients like this, and if there's one thing that makes them recover, it is a connection with their families, their friends and their spouse especially.' The doctor explained.'Is that a matter of certainty?' I asked the doctor.'Like I said, from all the patients I've interacted with, that has always been the cure.' The doctor said.'Send for E

    Richard PovAdam, thank God you're here. These are the prescriptions he needs to keep him going, but I will be very honest with you. He has very little time,' I listened as the doctor recited the statement just as he rehearsed. I smile broadly inwardly, almost removing my facade and giving him a thumbs up.'What do you think will help his condition?' Adam asked strained.'Human connection. He doesn't need to be isolated. I have seen patients like this, and if there's one thing that makes them recover, it is a connection with their families, their friends and their spouse especially.' The doctor explained.'Is that a matter of certainty?' I hear my brother ask the doctor.'Like I said, from all the patients I've interacted with, that has always been the cure.' The doctor explained patiently.I feel him watch me from the rim of his glasses. He knew better than to send a signal to me.I watch my brother look helplessly at me before turning to one of his guards. 'Send for Elizabeth imme

    ELIZABETH'S POV I am surprised by how deep his voice is. 'What are you doing here?' He questioned authoritatively.I swallow the lump rising in my throat. 'I came to see you,' I said, regaining my voice.He looked at me curiously. 'What for?' He asked with rising brows.I could not understand. Can't he see the make-up and nightgown I wore to seduce him?'I just wanted to check up on you, that's all,' I said dismissively.He eyed me with suspicion. 'You saw me a few hours ago. Why do you want to see me again? Tell me, why are you here?' He continued.'Promise you won't get mad at me,' I said, tired of lying and going round.'I don't make promises. What brought you here Elizabeth?' He questioned authoritatively, walking dangerously close to me.'Okay, fine. Remember when you said I needed to take care of your brother sexually? I don't know what you mean by that exactly. I was wondering if you could teach me what I needed to know.' I said, looking at him squarely in the eyes.'And what

    ADAM'S POV'What are you doing here?' I asked authoritatively.I could see her bare body from her transparent nightgown and she was fucking sexy as hell.I managed to tear my gaze away from her body and looked at her face. I could see the fear written on her face, but she masked it up with a tough facade.'I came to see you,' she said with a small voice.'What for?' I asked, trying so hard to mask my desires from my voice. Even her perfume was sexy as fuck.'I just wanted to check up on you, that's all,' she lied with a dismissive voice.I let my suspicion show on my face. 'You saw me a few hours ago. Why do you want to see me again? Tell me, why are you here?' I asked, obviously not believing her lies.She gave a loud sigh, visibly tired of her lies.'Promise you won't get mad at me,' She said.'I don't make promises. What brought you here Elizabeth?' I questioned authoritatively, tired of her games and walking dangerously close to her.'Okay, fine. Remember when you said I needed t

I was watching the news and I returned to reading the documents.The second I heard the name Clayridge on the news ticker, I stopped breathing.I stood frozen, my eyes locked on the television screen like it held the keys to the next war.A riot.

    Elizabeth’s POVThe first time I pressed the panic button in the elevator, I wasn’t panicking. I was just curious how long it would take for them to get to me.I counted slowly and when it got to none seconds, I got my answer.Eight men came charging into the hallway, guns drawn. One of them even barked my name like I was under attack.But I wasn’t.I just needed proof. Proof that this place had stopped being a house a long time ago.Now, it was a cage. Pretty curtains didn’t hide the bars. I wasn't locked up. I was free but I was sick and tired of staying put in this house.I didn’t bother apologizing. I just walked past the guards and headed toward the basement. Their footsteps followed, but I didn’t look back. I kept walking, down the staircase, past the secured corridor with fingerprint locks, straight to the cell where Corinth was held.She sat on the floor like a dead person with her head leaned back against the wall.Somehow I felt pity for her, but I was still mad she had trie

    Lily's POVI didn’t talk to Lance during the whole flight. I didn’t have to. He didn’t expect me to.We sat in silence, an ocean between us despite sitting only one seat apart. In one hand he swirled a whiskey glass slowly. I had nothing. Not even sleep. I hated that I was in this position.When we landed in the States, I braced for the worst. I thought I would be taken directly to some basement then given a gun, a file and told to clean up someone else’s mess. Or even killed. But instead, Lance handed me a manila folder.Inside were fake credentials. It had given me a new name so I could not be easily tracked. New background. I was officially now Samantha Carson, federal corrections officer, Clayridge Maximum Security Prison.My stomach twisted."What is this?" I asked.Lance didn’t smile. "Your clean slate. Your one final task."I really didn't want to and I complained. "This isn’t what I do."Lance picked up and did not care. "You do now."I stared at the folder again. One of the d

    Lily's POVJosh propped back on the couch, half-squinting, with sweat beaded on his brow.He took his phone from his pocket and texted someone before returning his gaze to me.“I asked you a question,” he said. His voice went deeper.“No, I didn't,” I said. He looked relieved.“So, he's blackmailing you. Why?” He asked.“Because I shot my friend. Yes, I shot Elizabeth and ran,” I confessed.“Lily,” Josh called in disbelief. “So, it was you?”“I don't know if she's dead. I checked the news. There's no record of her death. It was selfish of me, but I didn't kill her. I know that,” I said.It didn't make sense to me, but I didn't want to cry in front of him.He stared at me. None of us broke eye contact. Then the knock came.Josh sat up and pointed to the door. "That's him. Let him in."I opened it quickly to find a lanky man with a box of supplies tucked under one arm. His scruffy beard and bleary eyes belied the crispness of the white gloves he donned as he entered.“I can’t believe yo

    Lily's POVThe gun didn’t move. It remained pointed toward Josh’s head.My heart raced as I leapt between them, my arms outstretched. My voice cracked, but I pushed the words out. "What do you want?"The man laughed and cocked his head, as if I’d just asked the dumbest question in the world. His lips curled slowly in a cruel smile. "It’s easy. You should have guessed it."I gulped.“You did better than I hoped bringing him here,” the man said.“You sent that message?” I asked, and he smiled.Josh sat up, and the man ticked his fingers warning him not to move.“Lily, what in the hell is happening?” Josh asked.“You'll know soon enough,” the man answered.The soft click from the black SUV behind the man caught our attention.My heart began to race. Its headlights blinked. The doors released with a muffled thump. I froze, a chill wrapping around my back.The driver's door opened.No. Please, God, no. Don't let it be him.But it was him.

    Lily's POVMy scream was loud and sharp as the closet door flew open. I didn’t think. I just reacted. I shot my fist out and into a man’s face with a sickening thud. The figure reeled back, groaning."Ow! Lily, what the hell!"Josh’s voice pierced through my mind and I opened my eyes. My heart sank the second I saw who I hit."Josh?" I asked.He held his nose with his left hand, and rubbed the spot. "Yeah, it’s me. You throw one hell of a punch. What was that?"I stumbled out of the closet, still shaking. "Jesus. Don't scare me like that. I thought you were him. I heard him. He called my name. I swear he was here.”Josh glanced around the room, his face turning a bit red. He moved fast, checking the windows, every corner, under the bed, behind the door.“There's no one here now,” he said.He glanced at me then, the concern carved deep into his face. “That’s it. I’m done playing defense.”He pulled out his phone and called someone. In less than an hour, a locksmith came and changed eve

    Lily's POVJosh’s eyes were wide open; He gazed at me. It was too late, yet I turned aside."What was that?" he inquired in a low but cordial tone.I quickly got up and stuffed the phone in my pocket. "Nothing. Just an old picture."He didn’t blink. “You looked nice. Almost like a whole different person.’With trembling palms, I backed toward the sink and pretended to be occupied with a cup of water. "You need to rest. You’re not supposed to think much.”Josh sat up slowly. He moved to the side and the machines beeped next to him. "Don’t do that. Don’t deflect.""I’m not," I muttered."You are. Talk to me."I spun around and gripped the edge of the counter. My voice shook. "I can’t. Not now."He sighed and reclined back into the pillow. "Then don’t bother."I glanced at him, and swallowed. "Josh..."Gently, he looked into my eyes. “If you're not prepared to discuss it, that's fine. I’ll wait. I just want to know you’re safe. For me."I felt my knees buckle a little and moved closer to

    Lily's POV"Move! Get out of the way!" I yelled.I didn’t know my own voice as I yelled at the standstill traffic, weaving in and out of cars, blowing every light.I had my fingers locked on the steering wheel. Josh lay next to me, hunched over with blood from his scalp running onto his shirt. His breathing was shallow.“ Josh, you need to stay with me. Just keep breathing. Please,” I begged as I drove.He groaned softly. That sound gave me just enough hope to bury the throttle deeper. The hospital sign eventually appeared, glowing like a beacon through my haze of panic.I parked like a lunatic, half on the sidewalk, and jumped out of the car. "Help! Somebody, please, help me!"Two nurses and a doctor ran outside. They saw the blood and got a stretcher."Head trauma. I don’t know what else,” I said, my voice trembling. "He was attacked. Outside our apartment."They loaded him in. My heart was pounding in my ears, I staggered behind, trying to catch up.The emergency room was a disaste

    Lily’s POVThe scream came out of me before I even knew what I was seeing.There he was at the window.That same hooded man, lingering outside in the shadows, staring at me. Just standing there. I could feel his eyes piercing through the glass and through me, even though his face was dark.Josh leaped off the sofa as if a defibrillator had struck him by accident. "Lily! What—"I pointed, my voice breaking. "The window! He's there! Look!"Josh sprinted toward me, looking at where I pointed. But when he turned, the man had disappeared from the window.“He was just standing there,” I gasped as I retreated. My legs trembled and my skin tingled all over.Josh looked around the street below. Then he noticed something. His brow furrowed as he leaned in closer. His fingers moved deliberately toward the windowpane. "Lily... there's a crack."I rushed to his side.And there it was.A narrow, ragged line had ripped its way across the glass. Right in the center.Then I saw the note.Stuck to the
