CELINE HERRERA POV

"Absolutely not," Belshar said, then faced Victoria, who quickly looked away and shrugged. "You cannot travel in that condition"

"Why not? I already gave Karen my word that I was going to be her wingwoman," I pouted, and he scoffed.

"You are not going to be traveling, Celine, and that's final. Call Karen and tell her that you won't be able to go with her." He said then paced for a bit before turning to face me. "Did you forget what you went through in the past months? The doctor said no stress"

I crossed my arms, my brows furrowing hard as I frowned. "Travelling is hardly any stress and you owe me this much after everything that happened"

Belshar let out a sigh of frustration and then glanced at Victoria again. "Are you not going to say anything. Tell her just how dangerous traveling is in her condition" he said and I looked at her, my eyes daring her to say anything that was not in my favor

She sighed as she dropped the towels she was folding. "If it's just for a

    KAIL NESSAR ABED POV "What the hell do you want?" I groaned as I stumbled out of bed, my feet studding against the bedframe and jarring me awake as pain shot up my body. "God damn it"I grumbled as I walked out of the room. It was probably room service. My head throbbed and I barely managed to avoid tripping on the bottles that littered all over the floor. Just how much did I drink last night?"I told you not to fucking bother—" The words died on my lips as I yanked the door open and came face to face with Karen.I stared at her, my heart stopping for a beat."Karen—" her name escaped my lips as my heart kicked up in my chest, and then I clenched my eyes shut. "God, I am going crazy," I groaned, then chuckled under my breath as I rubbed my hand over my face. "I must be drunk out of my fucking mind. How long am I going to keep seeing your face, Karen," I muttered to myself, then pulled my hand away.My brows furrowed as I stared at her. Why was she still standing there? On a normal da

    CELINE HERRERA POV"You have got to be joking or raving mad," I said then gasped in shock because I hadn't meant for the words to slip out of my mouth. I glanced at my grandfather whose wry expression spoke volumes of just how much my outburst had offended him. Forcing myself to appear remorseful despite the rage that burned in my chest, I got to my feet. "I am so sorry, I didn't mean to say that, it's just that this whole conversation is so jarring, I can't seem to process it and because of that I am having a brain-to-mouth malfunction, please I did not mean to insult you"Grandfather sat straighter, his gaze piercing into mine. "And what is so jarring about this conversation? Didn't you say you were ready to do whatever it took to make sure you get the company as an inheritance, or am I mistaken""No you're not, but I don't understand how you can come up with such a requirement. I have been running the company for five years now, I already have a sizable amount of share to my name

    CELINE HERRERA POVBelshar gaze lifted and I expected to be berated since he'd taken his sweet time to stare me down but instead, he just walked past me, his rich deep baritone sending a shiver up my spine as he spoke to someone behind me.It was as if I didn't exist. Picking myself up from the floor and wiping at my ruined shirt, I took a deep breath, my rage all but forgotten, and stepped out of the club.The night air was harsh against my skin and as I sat at a city bench, waiting for my best friend I couldn't help but feel down and miserable.Was I really that plain that I couldn't even hold Belshar's attention for even a minute, even when I'd spilled drinks on him?That wasn't the rumor I'd heard about him, of course, he was a very mysterious person and no one knew Jack about his personal life, but the one thing he was notorious for was his ruthlessness, so was I just not worth his effort."What the hell are you doing out here... And where the hell is your phone, I've been trying

    DELIA HERRERA POVI didn't like George... Didn't like the way he smelled either, the reason I was here was all because of Belshar Nessar Abed and as he walked past me to go meet up with his wife's cousin Bella, I couldn't help but watch him.But it was annoying. His wife was already dead so why was he still meeting up with her relatives?On the surface, people didn't know Belshar had been married... I'd had to dig and pay a lot of money to obtain the information... Belshar was a very private person, the only thing not so private about him was that he was a psychotic killer who destroyed lives with no emotion. Still, he was my one desire. He was also the sort of person who cut people off just for the fun of it, so should I worry that he was still so close to his wife's cousin?Bella was not someone I could easily go against... Not everyone was as spineless as Celine, but God damn it, I wish I could. She was the reason Belshar hadn't noticed me tonight.He'd bumped into Celine of cours

    CELINE HERRERA POV"This is so nerve-wracking," I said clutching to the contract that I'd drawn up". I had already emailed Belshar and hadn't gotten a reply... Was that a rejection... Should I even go ahead with this? "Are you sure this is the right thing to do though?" Karen asked. She was someone I always confided in before I went through with things because, despite her age, she was quite practical. "What else can I do, Karen? Going on dates isn't going to cut it... Plus building a relationship that leads to marriage takes time... The only way I can be married and have a child in two years is this way""I understand that, but why does it have to be Belshar? His name literally sends fear slithering down people's spines whenever it is mentioned and now you want to shackle two years of your life to him. That man is a monster""What other choice do I have!" I yelled losing my temper that had been on a thin line after my encounter with Delia the night before. "I am about to lose my com

    CELINE HERRERA POVI gaped in horror as the cold air hit my bare skin. My dress was ripped down to my waist and if I'd thought that would stop Belshar from throwing me out, it didn't, he pushed me out and slammed the door behind me.I stood like a fish that had been taken out of the ocean, staring at the dozen pairs of eyes that were all trained on me.My eyes burned, the humiliation making my face hot. I clutched my dress close, forced a smile onto my lips, and tried not to break down as I blindly navigated my way out of the huge company.Once I stepped into the elevator and the door shut, the tears that I'd tried so hard to hold in started falling. I sobbed so hard that when the elevator stopped on the first floor, my eyes were puffy and red-rimmed. I stepped outside the elevator only to freeze as camera lights flashed in my face from all directions.Reporters? What the hell were reporters doing here... Did Delia find out that I would be coming here and have all this planned? Que

    BELSHAR NESSAR ABED POV Celine looked utterly terrified and she had every right to be after the stunt she pulled... She dared to lie using my name. God, she appeared so pure without a stain to her name but I was starting to see her for who she truly was. Celine jumped to her feet. "How the hell did you get into my house" she asked, her gaze darting from mine to the door as she tried to look for an escape while making sure that she was not within my reach. Cocking my head, I regarded her darkly. "Is that really the question you want to be asking right now, Celine Herrera" Gods! Even calling her name was making me mad. Every time I said her name I remembered Selene, and her blood-drenched face as she'd drew in her last breath in my arms.Celine swallowed audibly, her right hand rubbing against her left arm. "I said what I did in the heat of the moment, You have to believe me, they were making all sorts of assumptions and my torn dress was not helping..." she said then jutted her chin

Or maybe it was because I couldn't fucking breathe. The tablet fell from my hand as I gasped for air and clutched at my chest to relieve whatever it was that was clogging it up but it didn't help."Andrea!" I gasped for the name of my maid, but I was sure she wouldn't hear even if she was in the same room with me. My voice was that low.Getting to my feet proved difficult and when I finally managed it, I stumbled toward the front door because I knew if I didn't get air I was really going to suffocate.My heart squeezed and the door in front of me felt as if it

    CELINE HERRERA POV THREE MONTHS LATER "What's wrong. You've been spacing off for a while now" Karen turned to face me and then shook her head, her eyes squinted to avoid the glare of the sun."Nothing's wrong," she answered, and I gave her a look because even a blind mind could tell by her aura that things were not right."You know you can always talk to me right"She forced a smile. "I know that"I couldn't help becoming more concerned. "If you're still traumatized about the whole thing you went through, I can fix you an appointment with the therapist that helped me when I experienced something similar"She sighed and came to sit beside me. "No, you don't have to do that at all. I promise I'm really fine."I nodded even though I wasn't convinced. There has been something off with her ever since the rescue and her refusal to talk to me was starting to make me worry.I already felt bad that she got dragged into our family's mess and had to go through something so horrible, so why wa

    KAIL NESSAR ABED POV I watched as they wheeled her away, my heart burning in my chest.Belshar walked toward me; his face was grim and emotionless. He stopped in front of me and my jaws clenched, the anger in my chest poisoning my blood."You sure took your time, Belshar"He scoffed, his gaze moving over me. "That's what you think but I didn't take a rest for the ten days you both were captured, kail. I did everything possible to make sure you didn't have to die In this dump""If it was Celine, you would have made sure you rescued her in time" I roared and grabbed his shirt. "Do you have any idea what Karen went through in there? She's probably going to be traumatized after this" I gritted and saw red when he smirked."What the hell is so funny" I gritted out, the urge to punch him in the face becoming impossible to resist."I didn't think I'd see the day you would be concerned for someone else. I thought you were angry for yourself, but it turns out it's for Karen. You're down that

    KAREN POV I started to get up and stopped when he reached out, his gaze intent on mine."Don't" he started, then swallowed, his gaze darting away from mine. "You don't have to get up"My face flushed and the prickly feeling in my neck intensified despite the frigid air. "Don't you like me anymore?" I asked and he shook his head, even though the action caused him a bit of discomfort."I like you a lot, Karen. You have no idea how hard it has been for me to have you so close and not be able to do anything" he said, his gaze pinning mine. "From the moment I laid eyes on you at the cafe, you consumed my thoughts. I couldn't help but watch you... I must have scared you"I bit down on my lips. "You did scare me at the start but I knew you weren't going to hurt me"A flicker of a smile ghosted across his lips, then he became serious. "You told me at the cafe before all of this happened that you loved Enoch. I told you how I felt about you and that was your reply"I twiddled with my thumb,

    KAREN POV "I used to really hate Belshar, you know," Kail got out as he turned on his side to face me."Why?" I asked, staring into his grey eyes. "Because father and mother used to pay more attention to him than me. It was almost as if I didn't exist back then. They always had their eyes on him, so I had to go the extra mile just to get them to notice me."He paused, and I watched as a wry smile played on his lips. He looked so sad, it hurt my heart."I started to bully him because of that. I took pleasure in causing him pain since he took all my joy away. Father and mother soon noticed, and instead of getting in trouble, they told me that they were proud of me. So the pattern formed. It was only when I hurt him that Mother smiled at me, so I did it more times than often. But that feeling of finally being noticed soon faded because it was still because of him. I hated him so much all I thought about was killing him""And Belshar never fought back," I asked. It was a bit surprising

    KAREN POV "Eat" the man snapped as he shoved the tray in my hand. "You should be glad that bastard over there takes all your punishment pretty doll. Enjoy it while it lasts because It won't be long until he's worn out. Then I'll have you all to myself" he said and reached to grab my breast."Don't fucking touch her," Kail roared, then groaned, his eyes squeezing shut in pain as he fell to his knees.The man laughed and then grabbed me by the chin. "It looks like it won't be long now, doll. You better pray Belshar does something to get you two out, or you're really going to die here" he grinned, then walked out of the room, the door shutting hard behind him.I cursed under my breath, then walked toward Kail.The food on the tray did not look all that appetizing but I was so hungry, my stomach was literally growling.This was the third time they were feeding us since they put us here. I crouched beside Kail. "Eat this," I said and tried to feed him the soup they'd brought. He shook h

    KAIL NESSAR ABED POV The black hood over my face was disorienting and as the man behind me shoved me around, I couldn't help but trip over my feet.It was fucking humiliating. I had to give it to the guy called Victor Stakov though. He was good. Two attacks in one day. Who would have thought?I hadn't even been given a chance to struggle before I got shoved into the black van and a needle was jabbed into my neck that had me passing out in secondsThe only downside to this whole bullshit was that they had taken Karen too. I knew because I'd been holding her hand when I came face to face with them.My hands balled into fists, the rope tied around my wrist digging into my flesh.Fuck! They better not touch her. Where was she now? I didn't want to think of the worst, but every step I took without feeling that she was near made the knot in my stomach tighter.

    KAIL NESSAR ABED POV "Victor stakov" the man gasped, blood spurting from his mouth. "It was Victor Stakov," he shouted, then screamed when I pressed the branding rod against his skin.The sizzling sound and the smell of burning flesh filled the room, everything mingling to create an atmosphere charged with an intensity that made my blood surge through my veins as if I were riding out a high God I missed this. How long had it been since I last tortured anyone? I'd made a lot of coffee and cakes to keep myself occupied but it was always so monotonous. It got boring too. This. This was exactly what I needed. Dropping the rod onto the burning coal, I raked my hand through my hair and stared down at the man on the table. His body was covered with my brand, his skin bruised and burnt.It was a work of art, really, but there were still some spaces that I hadn't marked, and my fingers itched to pick up the rod and fill it up."Please" he gasped, spitting out more blood. "Don't kill me. I
