RICHARD'S POV

’Sir, the rumours were true. Your brother, Adam is fucking Elizabeth, your mistress.’ The first guard told me when he stepped in.

'Interesting,' I muttered. I gritted my teeth in anger. Adam had the nerve to steal what belonged to me. I will make him pay.

'Did the chef do as I requested?' I asked, staring at the guard. 'Yes, he did. He put it in slowly, barely enough to cause instant harm,' He said.

Good. Adam will not know what hit him.

'Also sir, your brother will soon be here. I heard Elizabeth just left his room this morning.’ he said hurriedly and left.

I hated that I had to pretend to be a sickly figure, just to win Adam's trust. I can't wait for my plans to work.

I lay down on the bed and anticipated his entrance.

'I came here as fast as I could,' I hear him tell the doctor.

'Well, his body is getting weaker and his condition is not improving one bit. I suggested something the last time I came here,' the doctor said, watching Adam carefully.

Any distraction was detrimental to my plans.I also needed to get in contact with Lance and tell him about my plans.

    Elizabeth’s POV“Adam,” I whispered, but he was far too gone to hear me.I swallowed hard, my heart pounding as I obeyed, turning my back towards him.His fingers brushed along my skin, arousing my thirst for him.“Hands behind you,” he ordered. I hesitated, and he reached out, pulling my hand behind me as I positioned myself.My ear caught on the sound of a clock, and I turned to peek. Adam had the leather cuffs out and smirked at me.He took his time fastening the cuff around my wrists and pulling them to make sure they were secured. I felt thrilled at the soft click of the lock.“Good girl,” he murmured, kissing my thighs, his warm breath teasing me.I closed my eyes as he placed a blindfold on me. The loss of sight heightened everything. I could hear the subtle shift of the mattress as he settled between my legs.Then, the first touch.A featherlight caress trailed down my back, making me arch into the sensation. But just as quickly, a sharp sting followed, the slap of a flogger a

    Elizabeth's POV:My back straightened as I froze. I slowly turned, silently praying my expression didn't give me away.“I…ugh,” I stammered. “You scared me.”“Not my intention, but…” he said.Richard has a back for creeping me out.“You're awake,” I finally answered, smiling.“Yes, for a while,” he answered and I gulped.I breathes calmly getting my emotions in check.“I asked a question, Elizabeth,” he repeated.I smiled, thinking of a good lie. “I went out,” I answered.“Hmm,” he moaned and looked at me like he knew I was lying. “Is that so? That's not what I heard.”My heart pounded and my stomach twisted.I maintained my expression, pretending I didn't understand. “What do you mean?”He looked at his hands, then at me. I watched him shift in his bed, pushing himself slightly, and I became worried.Did he know? He couldn't possibly know I was with Adam all day.He coughed, and I rushed to him, pouring the water from the jug into the glass cup.I handed him the cup, watching him dri

    Adam's POVWatching Richard trying to kiss Elizabeth made my skin crawl. I didn't want him anywhere near her. She was mine alone.I remained calm, holding the tray of food so as not to give away my feelings.Their eyes met mine and I walked forward, ignoring Elizabeth's silent pleading. “Hey,” my voice flowed as Richard’s eyes met mine.“I take it you came to see if I'm dead,” he replied, his face changing into a wicked smile.“That’s the doctor's job,” I answered and he caught the joke. He smiled and returned his gaze to Elizabeth.She tried to escape, moving back, but he held her face still with his fingers.“Where were we?” He asked. His voice taunting me.In every sense, I shouldn't feel different about it. But him being close to her made my temper rise. I hated the way he touched her. What was this feeling?My heart ached, but I remained still. Now wasn't the time to act.“Urgh…” Elizabeth groaned.“Do you see it, brother? My wife avoids my touch,” Richard said, not taking his

My steps quickened toward her.“Lily,” I called, catching her attention and opening my arms for a hug.She flinched, rejecting me with a wave of her hand.Something was wrong. She had never acted like this before.My hands dropped and I frowned. “Lily, What's wrong?”She continued looking into her cup, not giving a response.“Are you going to talk?” I asked again, my fingers curled against the edge of the chair as I sat across from her. “Say something, will you?”She let out a sharp breath and lifted her gaze with a neutral look.“Why don’t you tell me?” She blurted.“Huh?” The words left my mouth before I could control them.“Lily, I didn't come all the way to answer riddles and guess your mind. I hate guessing games,” I confessed.She scoffed, s

My eyes followed her movements, aiming for the right time to grab the phone.I sat waiting as she continued.“You help me into the house and get me to Adam, and then I'll think about deleting this,” Lily said.“You're supposed to be my friend,” I whispered, feeling betrayed.She shrugged, acting like I was an alien. “Are you going to do it or not?”The phone graced closer to my face, and I quickly reached for it. She moved it away in time.“You'll get your chance,” she mocked. “So? The time's ticking.”The seconds ran, and her fingers aimed at her screen.“Fine, I'll do it,” I answered.“Good girl,” she said, smiling.“Remember, I get close to Adam, and you stick with Richard.”“But…” I argued.“No, buts,” she cauti

    Richard's POVA sharp beep cut through the silence.I exhaled slowly, blinking at my phone as it vibrated on the nightstand. An unknown number.My gut tightened.I reached for it, swiping the screen open, and a single audio file appeared. No message. No sender name. Just the recording.I hesitated for a second before pressing play.The moment the voices filled the room, my grip on the phone tightened.“Adam Mich killed my parents. I was eighteen and had just paid them a visit in a long time. Then it happened. My dad got a call, and it wasn't looking nice. Then he hid me in the closet, and somehow, I must have pressed a button and got out through the back door…”I knew that voice. That sounded exactly like…Elizabeth.“I heard the gunshots, Lily.”“I'm so sorry,” another voice followed.“The police couldn't do anything. By the time I found Lance, as my dad had said, The house was in flames. They found my dad's body, but my mom's…”“Hey,” the other lady spoke.“I'm fine. I'm just a littl

    Richard’s POVI glared at Lance, my eyes boring into him, daring him to say something stupid. He didn’t. Smart choice.With a snap of my fingers, my bodyguards moved instantly. One opened the car door while another shielded me, scanning the surroundings like good little soldiers. I slid into the backseat smoothly, the familiar scent of leather and my cologne wrapping around me.I left the door open.Lance stood there like a lost dog, his hands buried in his pockets, hesitating.I exhaled sharply. “Get in and stop looking like an idiot.”He blinked, then climbed inside, shutting the door behind him.The car remained still, the streetlights outside flickering against the tinted windows, casting shadows over Lance’s tense face. I didn’t look at him.I sighed, controlling my temper and removed my phone from my coat pocket and tossed it on his lap."Why are you giving me this?" He asked.I looked at him and shook my head. "The recording. I need to know who sent it."Lance glanced at the un

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.

    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

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.

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.

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
