"I was your escort, you're on your own now."With that, he walked away. I gulped as my eyes met that of everyone in the rooms, all of them prompting me to go on. Clutching the bouquet to my chest, I met the familiar pair of silver eyes. Call it instinct but at that moment I began moving, because I knew that I would be the safest once I was beside him.His face was blank as his eyes followed me, I knew from that fact that this was a dangerous event. We were nearly to the end of the territory and even when heavily guarded, there were chances of us being attacked.There wasn't even a priest that stood beside Julian, instead it was his own father. As soon as I had reached Julian, the man decided to speak up."Welcome your new Boss and Donna!"Several shouts echoed around the room along with loud chants of 'long live the boss and Donna'.Julian raised his hand and the people silenced themselves immediately. I felt his arm coil around my waist and pull me closer."Those who have already pledged, ar
"What's in there?"I questioned and he finally turned his head to look where I was pointing. I frowned as he grimaced and stiffened, before relaxing as a lazy smirk took over his features."You sure you're strong enough to handle what's in there, princess?" he asked.I nodded eagerly, of course I was strong enough, or at least I hoped I was. But no amount of hoping or praying could have readied me for what I saw.Blood drained from my face as I stared at the massive room in front of me, my mouth agape as I swallowed back the scream threatening to come through.Young girls... They all looked so young, not even in their teens. All of them were buried in the walls.I stood frozen as the doors slammed shut behind me, my eyes focused on all the- dead- female children in the room. Their horrified impressions printing themselves into my memory, sad faces with tears streaming down their cheeks. Mouths parted to scream, screams that were now forever silenced.All of them had boards carved right beneat
What had led to this topic, I would never know as he didn't even speak of why I needed to know this. But I guess that it was for me to understand several things, such as, why he was so stressed? Why were so many people visiting? And most of all, Why I couldn't leave my room?!It was absolutely preposterous and if it wasn't for the lack of life in here, I wouldn't have minded being tucked away for life."Did you tell the guards not to talk to me?"He hummed again as I groaned in annoyance."But Jul! I feel so lonely in here, there's no one to talk to and I've watched so many dramas already!" I said in anger.The typing sound stopped and I heard shuffling, I waited for a while to hear anything else but when no other sound came, I glanced out from the side of the pillow.He stood looming over me, arms crossed in front of his chest as he assessed me from head to toe."Yes?"I grumbled and looked away from him in defiance. The bed dipped as I resisted the urge to sneak a glance at him and it was on
"Father!" a voice said.At that moment Edward burst through the door, stilling as he spotted us. Clearly not having imagined the position he found me in. A glare formed on his face as he pulled his father off from me and led him out.I breathed through my lips, unable to contemplate what could've happened. The faint voices from outside, voices that seemed to be shouting, greeted my ears."Do you know what you were about to do father? Julian would've had you executed!"The reply was instant and its accuracy chilled me."What makes you think she would've even mentioned it to him? The only reason they're connected is because I had her brought here! She would've only completed her purpose had you not interrupted, besides, what makes you think that he would be able to take such a drastic measure?!"I curled in on myself settling for crying silently, my purpose wasn't the same anymore. I was married, I was Julian's wife, He had no right over me, hence I didn't owe anything to him! "You're forgett
I opened my eyes slowly, the sound of intense typing pulling at my conscious to wake up. The first sight which I was greeted by after sitting up was of Julian. The furrow between his brows drawing my attention as I struggled between getting out of bed to remove it or sit back and frown at it, till it went away.Julian was quick to notice me assessing him with my eyes and put his laptop aside to walk over to me. It had become a routine now, after our actions of the previous night. I became even more sluggish when it came to getting out of bed and Julian took it upon himself every day to help me out and freshen me up."Come on Love, I've prepared the bath." he said.I shook my head slowly and frowned."I don't wanna move."I replied. His brows drew together in worry as I snuggled closer to the blanket, knowing the question that he was going to throw at me."Does it hurt?" he askedI looked to him and shook my head again as he approached his side of the bed. I had pulled his pillow to cover up t
Julian cleared his throat and the male whipped around, green eyes meeting mine as my smile turned to a frown and my excitement shimmered down. I turned to Julian and whispered in a low voice."Why him?" I asked.Julian chuckled, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear before replying."He's the only one I can leave you with, knowing that he won't hurt you." Julian replied.I turned my speculating gaze to Edward as he gave me an offended look, I clearly hadn't been quiet enough for him to not catch it."What if she tempts me to?" Edward asked.Edward questioned as Julian rolled his eyes, turning his attention to his brother."Then you better know what's good for you." Julian answered.They maintained eye contact for a while, it felt like an intense staring contest was going down. Edward was the first to blink and groaned as he did so, a satisfied look crossed Julian's features, bringing a smile to my face as Edward gave a defeated sigh."fine. But do you expect her to learn in that?" Edward asked
"Well that wasn't dramatic at all."I muttered before turning to Julian, who still looked dazed by the information. His eyes stayed glued to me as he clearly tried to process what I had told him."Why didn't you tell me Love?" he asked.Blood rushed to my face again as I squirmed in place. Embarrassment finally washed over me as I realized what I had revealed to them. I had just found out after taking a shower in the morning as well and I didn't quite know that the training would involve things like kicking.Which we had gone over for the first half hour but after I had failed at that... miserably might I add. Edward had decided to move on to the other technique."D-Donna told me that i-it's considered bad in the society to tell someone when you're on your period." I said.Julian sighed, running a hand through his hair. A habit which he rarely showed and on the occasions that he showed it was when he felt even slightly weird."Yes, but I'm your husband aren't I. I should know in case you don'
The letter read:"Boss,We've covered the land you told us to and we've scouted out all the men responsible for the job. All have been eliminated and we've managed to set free a bunch of girls through the EC. Thankfully nor the police neither the government seem to be pursuing the matter as we've arranged for everything before hand.The EC wanted you to know that the girls have reached their homes safely and your message has been spread. It seems as though an indirect threat from the Spade's has arrived. The leader has demanded a meeting with you to clear everything out and sign a proper alliance. We've taken his son hostage in case he tries to go through with the break in. The date he's requested is in a week, his son will be taken care of by us till then, and we won't inflict any unnecessary harm on him. Donna's safety issue had also been dealt with, the man holding the threat is locked up in the chambers for you to do whatever you please with him."Julian lifted his head and frowned

Blaire was two years younger than me and had cravings that were quite similar to mine during my pregnancy with Nick, she had dubbed our house her home since she would practically get everything she needed here. Food, a distraction for the children, an older brother like Julian and an older sister like me. Her words had touched my heart and I had nearly cried but Julian had kept a strong hold on me during the whole confession.I had been munching on chocolate banana treats during my pregnancy with Adriana but my mother wasn't having any of it. 'being unproductive and eating sweets, do you want to put on weight?' were her exact words and then she had resorted to doing exercises dubbed safe for pregnant women with me.Donna and Blaire had joined in and Nick and Amlian enjoyed doing them as well. So more than half the time, keeping me fit was a family activity. It did pay off in the end though, after a good month of safely delivering my baby girl, mother had started up my exercises once a
I watched as Amlian did a quick sweep of his left and right before inserting the key in and turning it, a soft click followed. Amlian hesitated, before turning around and looking at Nick, who was also in the middle of nervously shifting from foot to foot."I don't think we should do this."Nick nodded quickly to his older Brother's statement and pointed to the door that had slowly parted. The afternoon sun lit up Julian's study and in all honesty, I snuck in more often than not.I stifled a laugh when I realized what the two of them would have had to do to get the keys from Edwards coat. Since it was December, a thick cover of ice had consumed our city. Making the temperature drop to 2-5 degree celcius, during the day! Another reason why everyone was tucked in warm clothes and long coats. Edward had to take off his coat upon entering since the central heating system had kept our house temperature normal. Julian had it upgraded a few years back, for the sake of our children and to avoi
They had recently adopted a 5 year old from what I had heard and experienced, it was a girl and she was extremely shy. Donna told me that she had been through a rough patch in her last foster home and was still learning to talk to people. I thought she was cute when they showed me a picture of the girl.She had swollen eyes though and a very skinny body, from what I could tell, she was sleep and food deprived. Ryan-Donna's husband- was scared at first, afraid that since he had hit 45 the child would be hard to keep up with but after he had learned of her past he gladly took her in. So far, the two of them and I were the only people that little Ellen had even said a word to. The only thing she said to me was 'hi' but that was enough to reassure me that the child would be fine.The knock on the door pulled me away from Julian's arms and towards the door."Boy what are you doing with your life? Still single?!""Absurd! Are you sure you're not gay?" I giggled to myself as I heard Ryan and
A month later:"So how was it?" I asked.Me and Donna were seated at the couch, watching a new k-drama and fawning over the beautiful people together, while my husband, brother-in-law, father and mother went to interrogate their captive. From what Julian had clarified for me, the man was his fathers right hand, someone his father had entrusted a lot to.There was some tension between Julian and Edward, it had confused me at the beginning but then I had learned that it was because that man had been the father figure in their life. Someone who had, in a sense taken up the role of leading male for them."What do you all want to eat?" I asked.We couldn't order anything since the location of the safe house had to be kept secret and that was depressing. There was a bit of complaining at the beginning but then we just settled for cooking for the employed people of our little group.I smiled at them as my father and Julian talked about something which seemed too intense for me to keep up with and
It was approaching mid night, during the rest of the day we had moved to another safe house, I was in the same car as my parents after Julian reluctantly let Donna drag him away. It was a full on tear fest that we sat through, my father was the most shaken one. He apologized so many times for letting me leave on my own, going as far as to call himself a terrible parent.I had to remind them of what they always told me, which was that every human makes mistakes. That just resulted in dad complaining about no one else being that stupid. After mom and I had managed to calm him down, they relayed the whole story to me.I had known before hand that my parents were involved with the police in the earlier stages of their lives but as far as I knew, they had dropped the profession once I was born. After me being taken away, they took it upon themselves to personally track me down. No matter how long it took.After six hopeless years of relentless searching, on a stormy evening, they were approac
Edward's orders as he had demanded, getting closer and closer to the main door.As we drew nearer, the danger increased and Edward took longer to call for us. He and his companion Lee had to shoot a few men down while we would stay hidden inside the human shield formed around us that would tighten at any sign of danger."Simone!"At Edward's shout, the man to my left ran after him quietly but nonetheless as quick as a bunny. His movements were smooth as he stopped at the corner and glanced around it before cocking his gun and taking a few shots.We waited calmly as a few groans echoed around us and he crossed the hall. A few moments later, Lee- the man who had previously been assisting Edward- returned and occupied Simone's spot. Looking exhausted and injured as he did so. From his tight hold around his own waist I could only guess that he had been shot or stabbed. The men didn't give it much thought and soon we were moving again.Regardless of his injury, Lee looked on-guard, keeping just
Julian had rushed out despite me trying to hold him back, instead he had just kissed me, wiped away my tears and pressed his forehead against mine before promising that everything was going to be perfectly fine.Edward had rushed Donna and Sally into the room soon after, handing me my gun and the bullets before nodding at the three of us and closing the door behind himself.We sat in silence, jolting as a scream or gunshot rang too close to the room. We could hear sounds from outside the window and the door. The window was covered by a thick curtain to keep anyone from even getting a glance at the inside while the light was closed so no one would become suspicious of the room.It was still cold as we sat in frozen fear, hearts thumping wildly in our chests as shadows passed from beneath the door. Edward hadn't locked it because if it was locked, the enemy would undoubtedly figure out why and we would be in even greater danger than what we were in now.When the door to a nearby room slammed
True that he was old enough to not have his cheeks kissed as greeting but Donna had resisted the stupid universal rule by reminding him of all the pain a mother has to go through to give birth to a kid and watch that kid grow up and become distant hurts her tremendously.Mastering the arts of emotional blackmail, she managed to have my husband sit down with her for a good few hours everyday and talk with him about the most random stuff... after greeting him with kisses on the cheeks.It would drain him tremendously, to sit still and listen but he did it for the sake of his mother. Once Donna realized that Julian had a hard time focusing during their little chats, she had me brought in to distract him further.Me and Donna would chat then and Julian would snuggle into my neck, holding me on his lap, my back against his chest as he breathed me in. Sometimes, if he felt extra naughty, he'd do something unexpected, like kissing my neck or biting down on the sensitive spots. He was well hidden
