I eyed the huge wall and the thin rope in my hands. The feeling of hopelessness grew. I don’t think the rope will even work. There was nothing that it could hold on to. The wall was too big to jump over for me too.
I’m so cold right now. My feet hurt like I’ve been walking against a burning coal. I looked up at the sky. The rain pelted against my face mixing with the tears now falling down my cheeks.
All of the sudden, a light flickered. I searched for the source and it was up ahead on the east side. I realized that it was a lamp from the fence. The fence has a lamp?
An idea crossed my mind.
I uncoiled the rope in my hands and realized it was long enough for me to wind it around
KuraHis voice felt like my heart had been ripped out from my chest. Surely he stole the phone from Quinn just to speak to me.“Nile…” I resisted a sob while calling his name. The only name that has been crossing my mind crazily.“Tell me where you are.” I could feel he was gritting his teeth as he spoke. He was controlling his rage. I could even imagine him clenching his fist.“I…” I breathed shakily. My hands and body were trembling. “I will send my location. I’m going to turn off the phone after that. This isn’t mine, Nile. I only stole it so I can’t keep in touch with you. It will only risk my location.” A sob alm
KuraEvery part of my body ached. Even when I opened my eyes, it hurt. The bed was extremely soft and comfortable but I felt warm and sweaty under the blanket.I slowly moved my fingers, my hands and my legs. I tried to at least sit up. I groaned at the pain I was feeling. I felt heavy and more exhausted than that night.I carefully placed my feet to the floor before standing. And when I stood, I fell down at once. I groaned at the additional pain I was feeling.I totally forgot about my injured foot.I felt so tired that I remained lying down on the floor. Not a moment longer, the door bursts open. Nile stood in alarm as he saw my
After my relaxing and needed bath, I realized I have nothing to change to so I wrapped the towel around my body and got out of the bathroom.“Give me something to wear, Veselov.” I demanded as I was drying my hair with the other towel.I noticed he wasn’t moving from sitting on the bed at all and was just staring at me. His eyes were full of intensity.“Are you not going to get me something to change?” I asked sassily. “I’m going to having a fucking cold again if I stay like this.”He slowly got up from the bed and sauntered towards me instead. His hand reached my neck, pulling me to him. The other settling on my waist. He inclined his head, forehead pres
“I’m not going to rest again in that huge ass room, Nile. Don’t you think two days of bedridden is enough? Why don’t you tour me around your mansion? I did get lost while looking for the dining room.” I complained with a slight whine.Nile wanted me to go back to his room to take a rest. But I’m tired of resting. My body aches from sleeping too much. It needs some exercise. I was also interested in having a tour of his mansion since it was my first time to get lost at someone else’s house.“Alright.” He relented without much of my persuasion. “Also… I gave you much time, Kura. You will talk to me and tell me the truth as we walk.” He then started walking without waiting for my consent.I f
Chapter 37“What?!” I bellowed. “What do you mean cancelled?”“Do you expect us to continue the wedding without you? What’s more that you’re in the hands of a psycho.” Quinn exclaimed.“Shit.” I palmed my head in guilt. “I’m so sorry. This is all my fault.”“What? Why would it be your fault? You did nothing wrong, Kura. In fact, you saved us by risking your life with that freak. Tyler and I agreed to cancel the wedding because we won’t be happy if you’re not there present at the biggest event in both of our lives.”“Quinn has been crazy worried for yo
“Nile, wait. Stop.” My hand automatically pressed against his chest to stop him from kissing me.His eyebrows furrowed. He was eyeing me in curiosity.“I’m- I’m tired. Can we… can we not do it now?” I said through pants.Nile only nodded in understanding. The Nile I know would’ve done it anyway but he knew I just got better and I made it as an excuse.He kissed my cheek, lingering it for more than a few seconds before hugging me tightly in his arms. He closed his eyes and buried his head in between my shoulder and neck inhaling my scent right away.I stilled. “You’re going to sleep h
“I can’t stay here.”“Rose, don’t say that. Whatever’s going on, you gotta suck it up. It’s either you stay there or wave your ass around so Jacob could see you.”“The problem is that I am not welcome here. Courtesy of his mother.” He started to reason out for me but I cut him off. “I am not trying to be dramatic here or anything. His mom literally warned me to stay away from his son. I can’t stay here, Colton. Please. Just help me, okay. We’ll plan something on the way.”He sighs. “Fine. You’re the boss. Just send me the address, alright.”I exhaled in relief. “Thank you, Colton. You’re th
“Colton, watch out!” He automatically swerved the car away from the other. We both panted in fear and relief when he managed to evade the car safely.“What the fuck, Colton! Holy shit!” I smack his arm with extreme force. I was fucking scared for a second. I thought I’m gonna die again.“Hey, that hurts.” He whined like a boy.“This car is fucking new, Colton, and you almost cause us an accident. You are a terrible driver!”“What?” He laughs. “Hey, I was trying to cherish the moment you’re trying to make me feel. You shouldn’t be acting like that while I’m driving. I can’t focus.”
His hands started to roam under my dress. His fingers fiddled with my underwear. He could already feel my wetness and in a swift movement, he thrusted his two fingers inside me. I gasped before moaning between our kisses.I rocked my hips as he pulled and pushed his fingers inside me, adding one more along the way. I could feel his full erection against my stomach. God, I could never get used to his massiveness. It always hurts the first thrust.“With how much you’ve been fucking me day and night, don’t you think I would’ve been pregnant easily without the pills?” I muttered against his ear.“I’m sorry for lashing out. I thought you would refuse the idea of having a baby for now.” His response was that of a whisper.I withdrew a bit to face him. “It’s alright.” I smiled. “Considering I’ve been a difficult woman before we established a relationship.”He
It’s been more than half a year since Nile and I got married. After the stunt I pulled with the marriage certificate, Sara was even more adamant to have the wedding as soon as possible. That was after berating us in both Russian and Japanese. I didn’t understand a thing so I just stared at her confused that night.The question is why did I do it exactly? Why did I trick both of them, especially my husband? Honestly, I made the sudden decision right as Nile talked to the judge. I was staring at him as I waited for their conversation to finish. Then and there I thought.I want to marry him.I realized he didn’t ask me that question and only assumed that I would still refuse his proposal. I would refuse back then but now… it’s different. I want to be with him.I don’t know when he managed to change my mind. He effortlessly convinced me to be with him. To marry him and love only him… forever. He doesn&
“Your mom will be crushed if she finds out the news.” There was a hint of amusement in her statement.“What do you want to do?”She was quiet before she replied. “I’m honestly surprised. I seriously thought she was only teasing me about it. I didn’t know it was actually this serious when she kept mentioning it to you.”I looked at her inquisitively. “Why would you think she was teasing you?”“Ugh, hello? Have you seen the way your mom looks at me? The way your mom talks to me? It’s as if she’s planning something ridiculous. It’s like she’s planning to have one hundred ways to embarrass me. She’s as mischievous as a brat.”“Good point.”She raises her eyebrow at me as if in disbelief that I agree with her. But she’s right. My mom is pretty mischievous. There’s always plans up in her head and execute it wh
“I’ll be moving back to my apartment the day after tomorrow. Don’t forget that, Mr. Veselov.” I reminded Nile as he drove me towards Runner Studios.Nile was silent while having this deep frown on his eyebrows. I almost wanted to laugh but I held it in because I knew he hates the idea of me moving out of their mansion.“Come on. It’s not like we are going to be apart hours away. Do you want to fuck in my apartment again?” I teased him in the end.“I’d rather we fuck in my room, lyuBImaya.” He grunted.“Wait. My office isn’t in this direction. Where are we going?” I noticed he wasn’t going towards Runner Studios and instead took a different route.I was suspicious when Nile didn’t answer. It’s times like this that he’s up to something again. His silence is very dangerous for me.I was right when he stopped in front of a familiar
I woke up still exhausted and sore from last night. I took a bath before going down stairs for breakfast. I was absolutely starving.“Good morning, darling.” I froze when I met her downstairs. Her arms were crossed as she held a tiny knowing smirk in front of me.I was surprised to see Sara. I thought she was on a trip. She probably just got home then.“Good morning.” I responded shyly. And then I realized it was already noon and she was being sarcastic. “I’m sorry.”“No, no. You don’t need to apologize. I’m sure you are tired.”I blushed at her comment. I don’t know if she knew what I’ve been doing with her son the whole night.Sara only smiled before inviting me for lunch. “Come. I’m going to have lunch on the veranda. I’ve been feeling stuffy since I arrived home. I need some fresh air and delicious food.” She then whirls ar
Dad sauntered towards Nile. He stiffened, showing his nervousness.I restrained a laugh while looking the other way not to be obvious about my reaction.I mean my dad had this built in strict look. He was naturally intimidating. He was very similar to Nile, though I find Nile to be way more scary. I guess it’s because I know how powerful and influential he is. He can literally do whatever he wants. People simply let him be because they’re afraid of him.It’s ironic because his father was the total opposite. He had a really friendly vibe and was approachable.“Please take care of my daughter.”My head whipped towards their direction, shocked at my father’s words. Nile was obviously shocked as well.I thought he’s going to roast him. Sadly, it didn’t happen.“Of course.” He answered confidently. There was a vague smile on his lips, his body now relaxed.I g
I spent a week staying with my family after I got out of the hospital. My dad requested that I should stay for a bit and spend time with them.Silena was released more than a week ago. She was in a wheelchair for the meantime because of her leg.When Nile dropped me off at my dad’s house, before we got in, he told me the news that Jacob was dead. I didn’t ask him how or whatever the details were because I felt elated about it. It felt like my freedom was back and I was so so relieved about it. Not only that, my family and I are okay now.I was silent when he brought out the news because I was internally soaking it all in. After what he did to me, my friends and now my family, I wanted him gone badly. And this news was everything to me.Nile didn’t mind my reaction. He usually understands me a lot so I knew he felt my relief.We had a feast when I arrived home. They prepared a lot of delicious food to welcome me and a
It was more than two weeks later that Kura was released from the hospital. She could’ve gotten out earlier but I insisted her to stay until I am reassured she’s better.It was a surprise that she didn’t resist. It was Colton and I who took turns on watching her. We didn’t let her feel she’s alone. We wanted to avoid letting her feel unsafe as much as possible. What she’s gone through wasn’t really a walk in the park.Knowing Kura was safe with Colton, I decided to visit my prisoner days after Kura was admitted to the hospital. I needed to take care of him once and for all.My men kept him in one of our old warehouses that we no longer use. When I got there, he was in the same state as the last time I saw him.He was tied up tightly in a chair, arms behind him and legs wrapped tightly against the chair’s legs. He looked hopeless and defeated. That look should've made me feel happy that he was fi
I jolted awake right when I heard Colton’s voice.“Rose, you’re awake!” He exclaimed and went instantly to her side. He sat on the bed beside her.I was sitting on the chair by the window. I didn’t realize that I fell asleep despite my sitting position. I watched them from here and decided that I should let them be. I figured he had every right to be there for her. I resisted the urge to go to her and have her on my own. I have resisted the desire to be the first one she sees when she wakes up.I have been on edge for god knows how many hours until I fell asleep with it.Colton lunged at her for a hug, careful not to hit her wound. He was crying again like a kid. I saw the surprise on Kura’s face at how her best friend reacted.“God, Rose! You don’t know how I’m dying here waiting for you to wake up. You really gave me a heart attack when you took that bullet for me.” He spok
