View MoreI blinked. Once. Twice. I lost count. My mouth opened to protest, but no sound came out. The thin line on his forehead increased,his brows wrinkled in deep frown. His expression was unreadable; his eyes darkened.He strides towards me, digging his hand into my arm as he twirls me around. Dizziness washed over me, I felt light headed and saw stars from the effect of turning me around without warning. He pushed me down onto his desk, my chest coming in contact with the pile if files on his desk“You leave me no choice” he snarled as he towered behind me, my eyes burning with tears from the pains of the stack of files pressing against my boobs in an unpleasant way. “Wait, please” I tried to push back at his hand that was pressing me down but he's too strong for me. “You want it the hard way? Then you'll get this the worst way” his voice sounded raspy as he pressed down in my backI kicked back both of my legs painfully, my air flow was blocked and I was breathing slowly and shakily, y
Adele's PovUnlike the past few weeks, I woke up early, did my business in the bathroom, dressed and patiently waited for them to unlock the door. It's a common everyday routine for me to be locked in after dinner. I smiled as soon as I heard the shuffling of keys and the sound of the door unlocking. I could hide my smile when the door opened. It wasn't an unfamiliar face this time, it's a face I've been looking forward to seeing after our last conversation. “Hey!” I greeted cheerfullyThe little smile of my face expanded reaching my ears and eyes, I picked on the edge of my clothes waiting for answers as he stood at the door looking at me. Ace was standing at the door but he was looking at me differently, there's something different about his gaze. Something I can't decipher. His dark eyes glaring at me, he towered against the door. His look piercing into me, slowly and confused, I lowered my gaze to my feet. I felt small under his gaze, extremely tiny, words eluded me as I waited
Adele's POVAce!That's his name. Ace made sure I had enough to eat at the dining, he paid attention to me when they're all focused on eating.You should smile more often, you look more beautiful when you smile and you should relax and be at ease.” He upper lips curled and I chuckled slowly.“I'm calm, I'm not nervous” I said looking around to see if anyone was listening to us, most especially Killian but he was focused on his phone while the others were having loud conversations and laughing loudly.He smiled widely while shaking his head gently.“You look half dead every time I see you, you look like you saw a ghost five minutes ago” I couldn't control the smile on my face when he bumped his shoulders to mine.“I… I'm….” “It's fine, I'll be scared if I were you too but if you don't over step you're not going to get hurt. What I'm saying is that you should breathe. Okay?” I notice the look on his face… it's that of worry or …..He blinked and it's gone before I could make out what it
Adele's pov: Again, like deja vu. I opened my eyes to the now familiar room with Killian waiting for me to wake you but this time, he has his legs crossed and his back resting on the small chair in the corner beside my bed. His expression was readable, the lines on his forehead hinted that he was not asleep and the little movement on his leg made me anxious.Being in the same space with him makes me nervous, he's so big that he took the entire room and left me with just a tiny fraction of it.“I see you're awake” his voice cut through the room, sucking up the little air in the room as he eyes bore into mine.We need to do something about this habit of yours” he started before I could say anything “I see you falling over and fainting everywhere, going in and out of consciousness as if you want to run down the store. I won't have you play that game in my house!” His voice was annoyingly high at the end of his word.I blinked several times to be sure I heard him right. He thinks I passe
Adele's POVMy eyes are sore from too much tears, I never choose this life. This is not the life I wanted, I'm still confused on how I got here. He came in here just to sleep with me, I mentally facepalmed myself as the memories of last night peaked in. All I could see yesterday was Jacob even though he has proven to me so many times that he's not or maybe he chooses not to be my Jacob anymore.I was stupid to wish he'll be gentle with me but my legs and in between are still suffering from his fierce thrust the night before.“What do you think you are doing here?” a sharp voice cut through my thoughts. I realized I've wandered into a garden that looks pretty with flowers, the atmosphere here is breathable and not toxic like the rest of the mansion I've been to. “Are you deaf? You can't speak?” The full tattooed lady glared at me with hatred, I've never been looked at like this in my whole life. She ran her eyes up and down my body as if accessing an unwanted product seeing if it coul
Killian's POVCough coughI watch her regain consciousness, looking around as if trying to figure which part of the world she woke up to.I couldn't help the smile that displayed itself on my face, the small frown on her face when her mind registered the familiar environment.“I'm alive?” She asked herself, touching her body as she tried to figure out where she got hurt. She mumbled some words under her breath.She jumped out of the bed, checking her whole body. I could smell her breath of relief from here.She moved graciously to the mirror and she double checked for injuries.“Are you surprised? Shocked? Looking for bullet holes?” she trembled at my voice, sending all the content in the vanity table to the floor as she turned in fear.Her hand went straight to her chest as if that'll help her calm down.The lines on her forehead make her expression easy to read.“Good to see you awake” I stood up, walking slowly towards her. She was looking everywhere except my direction, her left h
Killian POV “I don't care how, I want it sorted Timothy. Before tomorrow” I emphasize before walking out of the room.This is what I was trying to avoid by making sure my face is not out there, but that bitch! That fucker! Took things too far by uploading my picture on all of her social media handles with my fucking name, ruin everything I hid for more than twenty years In just one day all because of nothing.I'm sure going to make her pay, especially if I can't get my pictures to disappear from the dark web. So help me God not to kill her and send her chopped up corpse to her bastard father.Her father is the main problem here, and I'll make sure he gets his share of pain. Hurting his daughter won't be enough right now, I need to hit him right where he won't be able to escape and I'm almost there.I'll make sure to drag him by his trousers around the street and ruin the ‘Harris’ name so that the shame attached to the name will go through their generations.I gritted my teeth and fol
Adele's povI opened my eyes, the white ceiling staring at me as if mocking me that I'm not as pure as it is. I accessed the room with my eyes as I can't remember how I got here or whose room this is, I was about yo stand up but my sore muscles and the sharp pain between my legs draw near back to a sitting positive and like that the pain brought back the one thing I wish I didn't remember.Jacob! No Killian Kings. That monster! He's an impersonator, he has Jacob's face but everything about him is just so foreign and different from Jacob, jacob is gentle, soft and sweet but Killian is the only perfect opposite of these things. The memories from last night replayed in my head and I still can't believe he made me go through that in the same room as my father, he's the monster everyone calls him. I hate him! Jacob had always wanted my first time to be romantic, he wanted it to be sweet and memorable but Kilian took it from me in the most painful and worst way. I can't………… “Excuse me m
Adele's POV I was pacing my room trying to think about what I did when I was drunk last night but nothing is coming to my head. I can't remember anything and it only makes me nervous. Picked up my phone to see countless calls from Amanda, and that only made my heart jump out of my chest. I called her back but she wasn't answering, I tried again and she answered this time only to shout at me “I'm at your house already idiot” She hung up on me. I waited patiently for her to get to my room. I could hear her footsteps heavily as she got closer which had me wondering why and who she's angry at. I couldn't gather my thoughts as she barged in, throwing her bag on the floor. “Did you know what you just did?” She screamed at me making me more confused and nervous, I shook my head to let her know I'm oblivious to what she's talking about. “Wow, you created a large number of enemies for yourself and made the news too and you didn't know?” She questioned looking surprised “Dad said the sam
Adele barged into her dad's office, standing right in front of him with broken voice“What the hell were you saying on the phone Dad?” she shouted.Mr Harris look up with his glasses, looking confused“Don't look at me that way, the marriage shit you were saying on phone” “Oh dear, have your seat please” he said pointing to the chair in front of him. “You know the company has been going through tough times and investors are withdrawing so I know I have to do something and you know the case of the copied designs right?” he started as Adele took her seat in front of him looking at him intensely. “You know I would never copy other jeweler’s work or designs, I'm sure there's a spy in the company and I've been trying to fish them out but I can't” Mr Harris continues when his daughter didn't say anything but stared at him like she was studying him “Time is no longer on our side, we need help and Mr Kings is ready to help us. You know I won't do anything to hurt you, but it's for our wel...
