“Get me everything on Yakim,” Carson ordered while walking toward the car, and Drake followed him behind.“Everything dirty or corrupted, you mean?” Drake was just making sure of Carson’s orders.“You dumbass! How many years has it been and you still gotta ask that? Everything means everything. Even his fucking family.” Carson spat out at Drake, growling with an unknown irritation at seeing Yakim’s face on his property.‘I feared this day would come. Does he really need to go to such lengths? I need to talk to Mr. Russell before he does something foolish. He needs to learn that we don’t hurt women and children,’ Drake went deep into his thoughts about how scary and heartless Carson was getting day by day without missing any.“Are you gonna drive or sleep?” Carson glared in the mirror at Drake. Without uttering a single word, Drake drove off.“Turn left. Go to the East warehouse,” Carson calmly ordered, deeply reading something on the tablet he was holding. Drake glanced in the mirror,
‘He has finally reached the limits. All I can now see in his eyes is death and nothing else. How could it be? The kid I used to play with. The one who used to defy killing over anything or anyone. How could he just kill the woman who raised him when he was left all alone? How could he be so heartless?’Drake cursed himself for letting her fall into his arms. She doesn’t deserve a man like him. She deserves better.“What have I done?” Drake growled, punching his head in frustration. Tears of relentlessness flowed down his cheeks. He regretted doing what he did. All of it.“Drake!” A man rushed inside the room where Drake was kept as ordered by Carson. “Boss wants you to come down soon. He has to get going.”“Who the fuck are you?” Drake rolled his eyes, fixing his tie and wearing his shoes.“Oh me! I’m a chore boy here.” The guy smiled, showing all of his nasty teeth and chewing the meat he had in his hands.“Chore boy? And you dare to talk to me casually?” Drake sighed, standing up, pu
“Dispatch everyone to cover the mansion. Don’t let a single fly out of this place. You hear me!” Carson grunted, squinting his eyes. The anger in his voice sent shivers down Drake’s spine.“Yes, Sir. Right away,” Drake said and rushed out, ordering everyone to cover the mansion.“Mommy!” Carl opened his eyes, finding himself on his bed while his mother was in the bathroom. He could only hear her scowling through the pain in her heart from behind those doors.A big frown formed on his face, not understanding what was happening to his mother. So he decided to step out of the room.“Huh?” Suddenly he was startled to see many guards running around crazily, shouting at each other, “Find the girl! Quick!”“I need some water,” Carl sighed, unaffected by the chaos. He went straight to the kitchen, which, however, was empty. Not even the maids were around.“Ugh! I can’t reach it,” he groaned, trying to reach the glass on the table. In his sudden attempts, he ended up throwing the glass onto the
“Do you really want to keep her here?” Drake asked, glancing around the shabby room.“She should have been put here in the first place,” Carson replied calmly, his tone sharp. Drake flinched, his eyes lingering on Luna’s frail figure.“Go to your room. I’ll call you when it’s time to change the IV,” Carson ordered, putting out his cigarette with deliberate slowness. He smirked, turning his back to Drake. “Or maybe I’ll do it myself.”“Yourself? But you don’t even know the basics of how to—” Before Drake could argue further, Carson spun around, his cold glare silencing him instantly.“Shut up and leave! Always remember who’s in charge. I’m not your friend anymore, so stop talking down to me. I’ve got a limit, and you’re pushing it.” Carson’s icy stare lingered until Drake reluctantly took the cue and left the room, the door shutting softly behind him.Carson sighed, his shoulders relaxing slightly as he looked at Luna. “It’s just the beginning, and you’re already in such misery,” he mur
Somehow hearing those words from his mouth gave her the vital sensation running through her veins, making her beg for more. No matter how profoundly she wanted to but his hand around her neck was not permitting it. He kept grazing over her soft pure skin like a hungry beast, not letting her a single chance to breathe. He knew what he was doing while reaching her core, placing soft and gentle kisses. Her mind was all blank without any thoughts of what would happen after this night. She only wanted to live in the moment not knowing what the future held for her. Roaming all over her sensitive core. He sticks his tongue inside her, making her feel hot inside. Her eyes widened when she realized what he was doing. Soon he realized something astonishing and stopped. Separating himself from her. He stared at her shocked face. As soon as Luna felt empty without his touch, she stared at him, lowering her eyes in confusion and nervousness. “At first I thought I made a huge mistake by wa
The rustic metal smell filled her nostrils. She abruptly opened her eyes and tried to get out of bed.“You love to sleep, don’t you?” Carson chuckled, placing the food tray on the side of the table. Luna kept her head down, and then she realized—her collar was gone. She was free.Her hand instinctively reached for her neck. Relief washed over her as she touched the now bare skin.“Don’t get too excited. It was removed because you got sick.” Carson blankly stared at her before grabbing her chin and making her look at him. “But if you don’t behave, I can promise to put it back on. You got that?”“Ye…yes, Sir,” she replied, her lips trembling with fear.He leaned closer, grinding his teeth. Luna could feel his breath against her lips. “Good kitty. Now eat your dinner and stay where you are. Try running away once more, and I’ll take you to my dark side.” He smirked, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.“I…I’m sorry… Sir,” she stammered, almost letting her tears fall in front of him
The screams echoed in the room with no windows and the metal door containing a small bar hole. The three of them were tied to the chair with electric cables around their bodies. “Open your mouths and this will end.” Carson calmly said, smiling at them. “You damn psycho! Do whatever you want. We are not Americans. We live and die with loyalty. No one here is going to tell you anything about our boss.” Reese growled, hissing with the pain of the current still running through his veins. Carson sighed, staring at Reese, “Guess then I’ll have to hold my words on that bet. Drake!” Carson called him out. Reese’s face color changed. The fear rushed to his skull making it to his mind. The image of his wife, son, and mother flashed before his eyes. The ones who don't even know what kind of job he does. “Make a trip to Picsby.” Before Carson could continue, Reese interrupted. “No! Wait! I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you everything.” He turned around and looked at Afro and Bruto, unconsciou
Luna blinked and turned her head toward the direction of his voice. Slowly, she placed her bare feet on the cold floor. A sharp chill pierced her soles, traveling upward, leaving a trail of goosebumps along her skin. The cold seemed to seep into her very bones, heightening her vulnerability.She wore a loose T-shirt she’d found in the closet—a garment so oversized it seemed to hang precariously on her small frame, threatening to slip off her shoulders with the slightest movement. The soft fabric brushed against her skin, but its warmth was no match for the icy floor beneath her feet.Her hand was still wrapped with a small band-aid. She bit her lip, trying to steel herself against the discomfort as she cautiously made her way toward Carson. His sharp, unrelenting gaze followed her every step, each movement of hers seemingly scrutinized under his watchful eyes.“Sit,” he murmured, his legs spreading slightly as he gestured to his thighs. Luna couldn’t see them clearly, but she understoo
A knock at the door startled her from her thoughts. Before she could respond, it swung open, revealing Carson. His eyes swept over her, taking in the elegant dress and carefully styled hair.Soon his expressions shifted into pure rage as he saw Drake kneeling in front of her, holding her hand. Drake quickly let go and stood up straight.Carson scoffed, “Seriously!”Carson's jaw clenched, his eyes darkening as he glared at Drake. "Leave us," he commanded, his voice low and dangerous.Drake hesitated for a moment, his gaze flickering between Carson and Luna. Finally, he nodded, backing towards the door. "Of course, sir," he murmured, closing it softly behind him.As soon as they were alone, Carson turned his attention back to Luna. His hand shot out, gripping her chin and forcing her to look up at him. "What exactly was going on here?" he demanded.Luna's heart raced, her breath coming in short, panicked gasps. "N-nothing," she stammered. "He was just explaining my role for tonight."Ca
Her throat felt parched, as though a raw dryness was settled in, making it hard to swallow. Her lashes trembled, threatening to let the rivers fall a-art from her eyes.All she could think about for now was the past. The past that had haunted her for years. The past that she eventually believed she had let go of. It was all coming back. The screams of her loved ones echoed in her ears like thunderstorms rumbling.“Luna?” A soft whisper in a low, husky voice, desperate to bring her out of her trance-like state. Carson’s hand softly rested on Luna’s cheek, which was burning like flames. His other hand gripped onto both of her hands on her knees, fiercely but tenderly.“Shh… it’s going to be alright,” he whispered, getting closer to her face, his eyes glazing with concern, frantic to find hers.“I… I’m sorry,” a murmur left her lips, almost quite like a still stream.Carson wasted no time embracing her. “There is nothing to be sorry about. It’s all going to be fine.” He felt a sudden ach
Rustling sounds, which usually make one annoyed early in the morning, were too loud to bear while sleeping. Luna slowly opened her eyes, rubbing the tip of her nose. She sat up straight, listening to two men talking.“You have two days. JUST TWO DAMN DAYS.” Carson grunted, glaring dead into Drake’s eyes.“Yes, Sir, I got it.” Drake replied, taking a deep breath, the tension in the room palpable.Carson’s eyes suddenly followed Luna’s to the bed. “Look who’s with us. If it ain’t your forbidden love,” he huffed, murmuring the last words under his breath.Luna looked down, shrugging, squeezing her chin in between her knees. Did I do something wrong again? she thought to herself, staying silent. The last thing she wanted was to draw his ire. She didn’t bother herself much since she didn’t hear him anyways, however the way he left slamming the door made her a bit bothered by it.Carson walked off without even sparing a single affectionate glance in her direction. Drake stood there startled
“What the hell just happened?” Luna whispered, hugging her legs in the bathtub, the lukewarm water rippling softly around her trembling body.Her mind was in turmoil, spinning with thoughts of how slaves at other houses were treated. She had heard the horrifying stories—tales of unimaginable abuse and cruelty, of slaves broken beyond repair. She knew for certain that none of them received this kind of treatment. No kindness, no care, no reprieve—especially not after trying to escape.Her lips quivered as a darker thought surfaced, chilling her to her core. What if this was a façade? What if he planned to share her, to parade her around as some kind of twisted entertainment, forcing her to perform degrading, unspeakable acts in front of an audience? She had heard those stories too. The slaves who were returned—battered and hollow-eyed—had recounted every harrowing detail of their torment.‘Maybe they were lying. Or… maybe something is weird with this guy,’ she thought to herself, biting
