Kian's pov“What do you mean you're not going to eat your food?! Are you planning to starve yourself to death so that you won't have to give us any information…if you push us any further we are going to force-feed you…”I looked up at my two foolish burly captors, both of them were so ridiculously and needlessly large that it irritated me every time I made sight of them. I had been trying my best to keep myself calm in this situation because I felt that would be the best decision to make initially. Whatever they tied me up with, it was slowly weakening me. When there had been nobody in the cabin, I had tried breaking out of it and failed so I decided that an outburst was not really going to help me escape. I was hoping that I would be able to get through to my wife but she had built a solid brick wall between me and herself. I couldn't blame her for it, she didn't get the full picture of the situation, just the one that made me look like a manipulative monster…the villain in the sit
Evelyn's pov I knocked on the cabin door again and yet there was still no response. Instead, I was met with Dead silence. It made me worried and I wanted to break down the door immediately, but if truly someone else had already found this place then breaking down the door and bringing attention to myself might not be the best idea. This thought became rather irrelevant when I realized that I had already been knocking repeatedly, so the attention that I was not trying to attract might actually get to me anyway. I was worried, my heart was pounding a little bit but just then one of my men that I had appointed to watch Kian came to the door and he apologized for taking so long. “I'm sorry princess, I should have come to the door earlier, we were just a little shocked and you usually come earlier than this so we thought that it might be somebody else,”I wasn't angry at him, I was more of relieved that this place had not been discovered yet but I realized that if truly I had been some
Kian's pov Of all the people that I thought that I would be sharing this story with I never imagined that it would be the daughter of the man that cost it all then putting that in the background, there were a lot of things I never expected would happen when I came to this place back then I had been moved by only revenge and nothing else. But now I couldn't deny what I had gotten even if it was just a little bit…distraction. As much as I tried to deny those accusations when Hailey threw them at me like projectiles there was only so much that someone could deny. Her eyes were looking at me now no longer with the same sparkle and adoration but with distrust and demand. I sighed deeply after everything I had put her through. I guess the least that she deserved was an explanation to it all.“You know I didn't just meet your father when he woke out of coma or when you brought me to see him when he was still in that condition…no I've known your father ever since I was a kid, a young one
Kian's pov “I'm telling you if you're not willing to take a risk then you're not going to be able to make it in business you understood all of this before. Is it that being married has made you forget?” I remember my mother being on the phone with Evelyn's father after realizing that her family that had sold her was not going to be able to help her. She decided to look for other means. She thought that if she had her own money and she planned out a really good strategy everything would work out. So she contacted her closest friend who was also a business associate in the past, hoping that he would be able to dig her out of this situation that she has found herself in. “... It's not like I forgot that everything is a risk but you need to know that mine is not just a simple risk. If I was going to a bank and getting all this money then I wouldn't be all that worried. The worst that the bank could do is take my assets…”My mother and father shared separate rooms. I had realized that
Kian's pov “From all I've heard so far, my father has been nothing but a decent person. If there is anybody that you should hold any real aggression to then it should be your own father…”She said and my eyes became red. “Nothing in the world can compare my hatred for that man, and trust me, I despise him more than your father but don't underestimate the hatred I still have for your father. I'm not still done with my story yet…I'm still leading up to the point…”She looked at me doubtfully, tapping her fingers on the arms of the chair, it was like she was trying to run away before she heard the inevitable, before she heard anything that would truly taint the image that she had in her mind, she wanted to shift away because her eyes did not look like she thought I was lying. “Do you really not wonder why your father wanted our marriage to end?” I suddenly asked her and she seemed surprised, she even shifted her back but just a couple of inches. She looked uncomfortable because of t
Kian's pov My resolution to keep everything to myself and not speak to her anymore did not last more than a couple of seconds before it immediately melted away and I felt ashamed of myself and how much I had fallen in such a short time. All those times in the past I used to think that if I ever came across one of this man's children I would not be able to hold myself back from hitting them. But what did I feel towards Evelyn? I have tried not to think about it too much because I knew that it was a dangerous thing to think because it would make things just far too complicated. Even with the way I was feeling right now, if I could just make it stop, if it was only for the period when I needed to do what had to be done then I would have been so grateful but unfortunately, I could have not turned it off. The scary part about all of that was that part of me did not even want to turn it off at all.“Look, you came to finally hear me out, to finally hear why I despise your father so m
Kian's pov When my father left the room, he did so very dramatically as he did everything else slamming the door shut.My mom fell to her knees and she was in that position for a very long time before I finally came to her and she turned to me suddenly, hugging me so tight until I winced but I didn't admit it until it became actually painful how she was gripping on to me.“Mommy there's no need to be scared he already took it and he didn't hit you…”She looked at me and I could tell that she was admiring the naivety in my words. Later on, my father would finally find a way to punish her for this, except it would not be as bad as simply lying his hands on her. No, he was definitely going to get creative with it and she was aware of this she was painfully aware of this which was why she was not relieved or at least not as much as she was supposed to be with him leaving.Later on, if it wasn't for my presence that day I would have considered that she would have actually preferred just g
Kian's pov My father finally pulled my mother's hand out of the pot of boiling water but it was not because he felt sorry for her, maybe it was because he just wanted her to be able to understand what he was saying without the pain of the boiling water getting in between it. He asked her in an extremely mocking tone if she knew how he got the information she told him that she didn't know and he got even angry he told her that he was going to put her head back in the pot of boiling water if she didn't suggest something smart quickly but she insisted that she had no idea how he was able to get this information. At this point in time my father look like he was ready to blow a gasket then all of a sudden he's wicked eyes came over to me and he smiled a cracked smile that would make anybody shiver he told my mother that if she didn't find out and the corner of her mind somehow how he had been able to get that information he was going to make sure that she is spoke with any means nece
