Julius's POV"What the fuck happened! "Aldonis was the first person I met in the living room after practically driving home like a maniac. "She's upstairs boss"It was killing me how he didn't say anything ,but I didn't have time to strangle him right now . My heart raced and I needed to make sure Vera was okay. I rushed into my room to see Lexi seating beside Vera on the bed. I looked at Vera as she was sitted under the covers looking sick. I rushed over to her dropping everything from my suit jacket to my keys on the chair on my way to her"Doll what happened? "I took Lexi's position as she left the room to give us some privacy. I cupped her face in my hands and her temperature was high"It's nothing. I just fainted all of a sudden. The doctor said it was something I ate and there was a weird unknown substance on my tongue from earlier "PoisonI had seen something like this before. She must have been poisoned and I know it. I wasn't going to tell her she had been poison
Julius's POVEverything changed after that encounter. Vera has been withdrawn from everyone for the past two weeks. She doesn't talk to anyone. She doesn't open her doorI wanted to kill Nina for telling Vera the way she did. I had been aware ever since the party but her parents made me promise not to tell her that they would do so themselves. But that bitch Nina had to come and ruine everything. She broke my Vera. My doll. After a few minutes of Vera crying her heart out into my shirt and shaking,she stood up with an emotionless look on her face and walked into her room locking the door behind her, and that was how it stayed. I tried severally to get her to come out or at least talk to me but all I could hear were quiet sobs and it broke my heart. I couldn't hold my doll when she was breaking. I couldn't protect her from what she was doing through. And it all made me so mad and angryI had to resist the urge to throw Nina into one of our cells. Instead I sent her back ho
Third person POVVera's eyes fluttered open and she rubbed them a little. Looking at Julius peacefully sleeping she smiled to herself. Tracing his abs and chest with the tip of her fingers she just took notice of his rose tattoo at his side"Morning gorgeous"She tried to pretend like she was asleep but was already caught"M-morning"Her cheeks turned crimson"I see you were admiring my tattoo""No.I mean yes. It's beautiful""I got it five years ago. It was supposed to be a reminder that love and war were the two things in my life hence the rose and the sword but the sword dominated "Vera just took in the information with a clueless face. "Vera is Julius here.... "Aldonis drifted off when he saw them in bed butt ass naked"Shit! "Vera panicked and hid her face in Julius's chest and he threw the covers over her properly "It's not hard to fucking knock!! ""Sorryyyyy!!! "He shouted rushing out Julius looked down and laughed at Vera's bright red face. It was as red as her h
Third person POV"Come on!... "Vera basically pulled Julius along with her through the mall's hallways stopping at every shop to stare through the windows but end up not even going in. She pulled him up to a dress store and stopped gawking at a gorgeous red backless gown that was on display as the newest piece"If you like it we can buy it doll"She bit on her lower lip thinking"No.It's not that pretty"Julius knowing very well that she was lying took her hand and pulled her in to the store. Immediately he stepped foot into the storeEveryone stopped what they were doing and just stared at him. His presence demanded attentionA woman rushed up to him with a rather unnecessary smile plastered on her face"Good day Mr ChrysanthosMay we help you with anything? "Vera watched in shock as his whole demeanor changed. He stood firm and straight as he looked around the store, she could feel the same power radiating off him like it was when they first met. He always found a way to mak
Vera's POVI thought I would have time to convince myself that everything was going to be okay but I didn't. I found out the dinner was tomorrow and I was freaking out. What if his family didn't like me, What if they hated red headsBasically I was an anxious mess. Lexi had tried severally to convince me that I was just worrying for no reason and she was sure they would love me but I couldn't take her words for it. I would have to meet his two uncles from his father's side , their kids and wives. Julius's mother was an only child but her mother was coming as well. So I had a lot of people to try and please.. "You're worrying for nothing doll. I'm sure they would love you, you don't have to try too hard"Julius spoke so comfortably as he snacked on some popcorn I held in my hand. We were watching a movie trying to get my mind off the fact that the dinner was in the next 3 hours. I sat between his open legs backing him while his head was rested on mine as he stole my popcorn
Unknown person's POV"Where are they right now""In their family home boss""They are enjoying themselves""Good"I smiled, knowing well they won't expect what was coming for them. Their biggest mistake was forgetting me and forgetting I'm a force to be reckon with. "Keep an eye on themWait for my signal""Yes boss"Putting down the phone I felt the satisfaction of being a step closer to getting rid of my enemies. Julius thought locking me away in a cell and torturing me will bring me down for good. He's really blind. And that Vera was really a piece of candy. The memory of her in that red and sexy dress never left my mind. Julius really didn't deserve her and I was going to make sure she becomes mine. I never got anything I deserved. I had to struggle and after everything I ended up below Julius. I will make him and his entire family pay for everything. I will make him watch as I take what is his and then I will kill him. Vera's PovI stirred in a strong per of arms. Kno
Julius's POVI smiled at Vera's cuteness as she ran into the house. I gave her a few minutes to herself before going in after her. Guessing she would have gone to the kitchen for some water, I went there and I stopped when I saw shattered glass on the floor and an empty bottle of water on the table. My heart started racing as I stormed out of the kitchen yelling out Vera's name. I had this painful feeling that something was terribly wrongMy yelling brought everyone back in to the house"What's wrong Julius? "Uncle Richard walked up to me placing his hand on my shoulder"VeraShe-she's gone""Gone? What do you mean by gone? ""I don't know mother. I walked into the kitchen and there was glass shattered everywhere. I just have this bad feeling"I was panicking as I ran a hand through my hair"Calm down sonWe'll check all over the house"They split up to check and I ran up to our room hoping by some miracle she would be having a shower or something. But my heart sank when she
Vera's POVWalking into the music room everywhere was dead silent. I held mother's book close to me like it was the only thing I had that was stable right now. I opened it and flipped to a slow and passionate song as I set it in front of me, taking a seat on the piano bench. I had found out num was a pianist and she composed her own tunes. I was so thankful to aunt for making me take piano classes. It made me feel closer to mum. I wish I knew her. I started to play a slow and sad tune depicting the way I felt I didn't know when tears started falling down my cheeks. I felt someone's presence close to me. I laid my head on his shoulder once he sat down next to me. Placing his hand on the other side of the keyboard we played the song in a duet and it brought more tears to my eyes as I couldn't hold it. He cupped my face in his hands"I'm sure she misses you too doll"Julius wiped my tears and kissed my eyes. I wiped my eyes sniffling. I hugged him and he wrapped his hands a
