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
ELIZABETH'S POV ‘I don't want to lead you on, Elizabeth. No matter what you do today, I'm not going to fuck you,' He said as a matter of fact.I sighed inwardly and took the dildo from him. I knew I was ignorant about anything related to sex, but I wasn't about to give up that easily. I took the dildo from his hands and pushed it inside my opening.Seriously Elizabeth? Do you want to be disvirgined with a dildo? I look at him and watch him look at me with a grin.'You haven't done this before, have you?' He asked curiously almost with a smirk.I sigh again. This was harder than I expected it to be. I couldn't afford to lie because he still would find out.'I haven't. I'm a virgin,' I said and his eyes lit in pure surprise.'Wait, what? You're a virgin? I was asking if you had used a dildo before, but this information is new to me.' He said angrily.'Why didn't you tell me? I could have hurt you or done something that could traumatise you,' He said as a matter of fact.'But you didn't
ADAM'S POVI walked dangerously close to her, with every intent of fucking her. I had a mental call as I remembered she hadn't read my rules and regulations. The last thing I wanted to do was to shock her.I don't want to lead you on, Elizabeth. No matter what you do today, I'm not going to fuck you,' I said making her surprised and angry at the same time.She looked visibly frustrated and took the dildo from me, pushing it fast inside her opening. I chuckled inwardly as she looked visibly confused. She didn't know she was with an electric dildo. With it not being charged, it was just a random useless toy.I looked at her with a grin.'You haven't done this before, have you?' I asked with a smirk. She must have never used a toy to please herself before.She sighed and admitted. 'I haven't. I'm a virgin,' she said and my eyeballs almost left the socket.'Wait, what? You're a virgin? I was asking if you had used a dildo before, but this information is new to me.' I said angrily. I could
ELIZABETH'S POV'Do you want to know why I enjoy sex the Way I do? I know you're curious,' He said when I entered his room the next day.I did thought of that the previous night, but I wasn’t about to let him have all the fun. 'No. I assumed you would tell me.' I lied, staring at him squarely in the face.'I know when you are lying. But I’ll tell you anyway.' He said with a painful smile.'I was sexually molested as a child. I don't want you to imagine it in a pitiful way of an elderly woman raping a little child. Imagine a little child taking pleasure in being sexually assaulted and choked and gagged by his school teacher. She would always call me to her office touch me and chain me to her desk. Then, she would flog me with a whip until I bent on my knees and worshipped her. To be fair, I didn't consider it as molesting. I enjoyed everything she willingly offered to me.' He continued with a smile.'She taught me different things in so many styles. Everything I know and enjoy now, it'
ADAM'S POV'Somehow, letting everything out was better than I expected it to be. I swallowed my saliva before I thought, going down the memories lane. 'I was sexually molested as a child. I don't want you to imagine it in a pitiful way of an elderly woman raping a little child. Imagine a little child taking pleasure in being sexually assaulted and choked and gagged by his school teacher. She would always call me to her office touch me and chain me to her desk. Then, she would flog me with a whip until I bent on my knees and worshipped her. To be fair, I didn't consider it as molesting. I enjoyed everything she willingly offered to me.' I continued with a smile. I could still remember her face as she touched me.'She taught me different things in so many styles. Everything I know and enjoy now, it's all thanks to her,' I finish off, grinning. I couldn't tell her how unbearable it was.'I'm so sorry you had to go through that as a child.' She said with pity.'Don't feel bad for me. I
ELIZABETH'S POVHis hands roamed over my body while he lowered himself to me. I braced myself for any hash or painful feeling, but I got none. My heart kept racing and I kept feeling antsy about his next moves.'Hey, hey, hey, your heart is racing. Is anything wrong?' He asked, genuinely concerned.'I'm scared. I know that you said you enjoy BDSM, but I haven't done something like that before. I don't know what to expect and I'm scared it will be painful.' I said tearfully.'Look Elizabeth. This is your first time and I'll try my best to make it as memorable as it can be. But you can't keep drawing us back. Don't be scared. I promise not to harm you,' He said and led me to the bed. That did nothing to pacify my rising heartbeat as my heart continued to escalate.'You'll be fine. Do you trust me?' He asked, looking into my eyes. I should say no. I don't trust him at all. I'm here for my revenge and nothing more. But... The way he looks at me, searching for trust, any emotion that will
Elizabeth's POVHis presence was like a storm, quiet but heavy with tension. He set his eyes upon mine, and his eyebrows were drawn together.He stepped closer. “What happened?”I tried to regulate my breathing.“Nothing,” I lied.His gaze turned dark, and he stepped forward. “Don't lie to me.”I swallowed hard.He took another step. He spoke, his voice dropped, almost soft but not soft. “Who was here?”I hesitated, even though I did know not to assume Adam wouldn't eventually find out.And, I whispered, “Lance.”His entire body became stiff.He stayed silent and then, his voice turned low. “Lance was here.”I nodded.Something shifted his expression. It scared me.Without another word, he grabbed his cell and called. “Double the security. Now.”His eyes didn’t leave mine. “I will kill the man myself if he ever gets close to you again.”“I…” My voice stopped short. "He went out before you arrived."His stare darkened. “And?”I swallowed hard.“He wanted me to accompany him.”The secon
Elizabeth's POVA distant beep roused me from the dark. My limbs felt heavy, like being underwater. My eyelids quivered, refusing the opening capacity, their lashes stuck together. My head pounded loudly, and I groaned.What the hell happened to me?My nose caught a weird scent.Was that medicine?I opened my eyes, groaning as the bright ceiling lights burned my eyes.White walls. Machines. Drips from the IV stuck onto the wrist.A hospital.Panic flared through me quickly. My heart pounded, causing one of the machines to sound its alarm. My hands were around the sheets, holding them tightly. I was alive. That meant Adam...No. Not Adam. Richard, that devil!Flashes of the last thing I could remember slammed into me like a truck. Richard's sneer, Adam screaming my name.I swallowed, my mouth tasting like sandpaper.A nurse walked in wearing a light blue scrub, looking surprised as she saw me. Her expression turned into a smile and she hurried towards me. "Well, you're awake. We were a
Adam's POVI wanted to tear him to shreds.Bloody bastard!“You came,” he said, his lips forming a wicked smirk.“You must have missed me,” he continued.I stepped forward, opening the glass door and walked in.“It's been barely a day and you're already here,” he mocked. “Seems you need my help.”“Where are they?” I asked, not interested in his bullshit.“Who?” He asked, smiling. “You have to be specific, brother.”He was mocking me.“Don’t fucking play games with me, Richard! Where are they?” I asked, pissed as hell.“I am in the mood for a game. Shall we play hide and seek?” He asked, still smiling.My voice turned hoarse and deeper. “I'm not in the mood.”“But I am,” he answered cheerfully.“What do you want?” I asked.“To leave here,” he answered, immediately.“Not a chance,” I blurted.“Now answer me. Where the hell did you put them? Kevin's family.”“Oh, them?” He asked.He was sounding more like a psychopath every single day.“Where did you keep Diana and her daughter?” I asked
Adam's POVThe heart monitor started beeping again, and I exhaled.She coughed, her eyes still closed, and I fell to my knees. “Thank you,” I breathed.“She's stable,” I heard the doctor say. He checked her pulse and turned to me. “I'll have to watch her to avoid such things happening again.”I didn't answer, only nodding slightly while I kept my eyes on her.I should have never let her out of my sight. She was suffering because of me. This was never going to happen again.Looking at her fragile form made me want to kill Richard, but I couldn't.I stood up, and the door opened. Yumi walked in, and Christine entered a few seconds later. She had a bandage on her forehead and looked guilty. Her eyes resting on Elizabeth.“What do you want?” I asked, facing Christine.“I'm so sorry,” Christine said, her voice trembling.“That's not what I asked,” I replied. My eyes stayed glued to her. I stepped forward.Yumi stood between us, blocking my path. “I didn't help you so you could kill my cous
Adam's POV“You're foolish,” Richard cursed. “She shot her.”“Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you, right now!” I yelled.My finger twitched at the trigger and I waited.“You can't do it,” Richard sneered. “You don't have it in you.”“I don't?” I asked. “Don’t push your luck brother.”“I’m not afraid of you, brother,” Richard said, laughing.“You should be,” I spat. I wanted to send him to hell, but he was right. My hands wouldn't pull the trigger no matter how much I tried.His eyes darted to Elizabeth and back at me. “I'm taking her with me,” he announced.“In your dreams, Richard,” I growled.He moved and my gun followed. “Don’t tempt me.”“Give her to me,” Richard yelled.He was only getting her when I died. “You touch her, you're dead.”“Watch me,” he said and moved forward.“Richard, don't!” I warned, hesitating.He didn't listen and began running towards me.“Richard, don't,” Lily begged, her voice breaking.I pulled the trigger, and he fell to the floor. He screame
Adam’s POV“Adam!” Elizabeth’s voice cut through with fear.I barely had time to react before Richard’s gun fired.The shot rang out, but I felt nothing. There was no pain or impact.Because Richard had missed. He looked at me surprised and my eyes trailed down to Christine beneath his leg.He followed my gaze spotting her. She had pushed him at the last second.She rose, breathing hard.Elizabeth wasted no time. The second Richard stumbled, she twisted out of his hold, breaking free.I moved quickly, throwing my fist in his face. He groaned and stumbled back and I hit him again.The gun fell off his hand and blood dripped from his nostrils.“You fucking...” Richard curses, but my fist hit him hard again. He fell to the floor, holding his bleeding nose.I attacked, but he recovered dodging my punch and kicking me.I growled, and lunged at him, hitting his ribs.The blood slurped from his mouth and he growled. “I have had enough of you.”His feet met my ribs, knocking me out of his sid
Elizabeth’s POVI hissed, pulling at the ropes holding my wrists. Richard and Lily were at the door arguing about whatever they cared about.bI pulled the rope again, hurting my wrist and I gave up with a groan.“Don't bother sweetheart, it won't work,” Richard said, looking at me.He was right. I had been pulling the rope for hours and my wrists was already bruised.“Let’s go,” Richard finally said, adjusting his suit jacket. “She’s not going anywhere.”Lily smirked, flipping her hair over her shoulder. “Good. I’d hate to chase after her again.”She walked out, her heels clicking sharply against the floor, and Richard followed, before the door shut.Screw it. If only someone could...my eyes trailed and focused on Christine.She was on the floor picking each piece of glass and acting like I wasn't in the room.“Ow,” she groaned, holding up the finger that had been cut by the glass.Her eyes met mine and there was complete silence.She returned to picking the glass and I exhaled slowly
Adam’s POV“We have to go back to the monastery,” Maximus yelled.I nodded and we began retreating, covering each other's movement with gunshots at the enemy.Keeping my head low, as my back hit the cold pillars of the monastery, I checked to locate the enemy's position.My men moved in calculated bursts, dodging between broken columns, returning fire with trained precision. But it wasn’t enough. We were pinned down, boxed in like rats.I saw it in their faces, the realization. We were outnumbered. The Yakuza had us trapped, pressing in from all sides.They had the upper hand. I couldn't risk my men dying. I had to think of something.Nico slid beside me, tossing a loaded gun into my hand. "Here, catch!" he shouted over the chaos.I grabbed it on instinct, barely turning my head before a bullet pierced his leg."Aaah!" He screamed falling to the floor. I quickly got down and pulled him away from the firing bullets."Are you going to be okay?" I asked, worried.He nodded, and quickly t
Adam’s POVI was there before he hit the ground, catching his weight as his knees buckled.His fingers clawed at my jacket, breathing ragged. “Adam…”“Stay with me,” I pleaded.His blood pooled beneath him, and men returned. The sniper shooter was dead. They had handled it.Kevin’s grip tightened on my shirt. His eyes darkened. Unfocused.“Listen. I...” He coughed, blood spilling past his lips. “Christine…I...”“Don’t talk. We’ll get you out,” I said.He shook his head violently. His nails dug into my arm. “You don’t…understand.”“Please, listen to me,” he said, panting.“It was my fault. Everything. I'm sorry Adam,” he said, in a teary voice.I shook my head. “No, it's not.”“It is,” he replied. “I had been working with Lance for a while. Ever since I suspected Elizabeth wasn't here just for the money. I connected with lance through some old connections.”I listened, watching the blood pour from his mouth as he struggled to get the words out. “Christine and I were lovers. I help her
