DELIA HERRERA POV

"I want a spot at the company. Make me the new CEO." I got out, and Grandfather glanced up from the book he was reading, a frown on his face that screamed just how exasperated he was, but I didn't care. This was the only way I could keep an eye on Celine and make sure that my plan went accordingly.

Besides, it felt as if I was already losing. It was hard to meet with Belshar, and I still haven't figured out what Bella's deal was. I already had a private investigator look into her but I was sure she was one of those girls who were very good at covering up their tracks. It didn't matter, something had to turn up no matter how good she was.

Grandfather folded the book and slammed it down on the table in front of him then stared at me pointedly.

"You can not leave your matrimonial home in the middle of the night and come here to make such ridiculous demands Delia. Couldn't this wait till you were done with your honeymoon"

I scoffed. "Honeymoon? Oh please, like I'd eve

    BELSHAR NESSAR ABED POV The fumes from the burning car that had gone up in flame due to the bomb that had been installed in it roared behind me as I strode toward Mother, who stood between two of her bodyguards. Blood dripped from my hand and the shirt that I wore. Séda grimaced as I reached her."Are you alright, Séda?" I asked and she nodded, her gaze taking in my appearance. I'd gone after the men who had dared to attack my Mom, and because the information came on time, I was able to find them before they could get away, and I didn't spare in my wrath. I'd killed a dozen of the men that had been sent and had captured two of their leaders who were already being questioned at the slaughterhouse.It was only a matter of time before I found out who it was that had sent them, and when I did, there would be no mercy; I was going to wipe them out. Every last one of them. "You should let the doctor look at you," I said as I noticed the blood dripping down her hand from a bullet graze on h

    DELIA HERRERA POV Celine was missing, and apparently, she had been gone for more than two days. The reason that we even got to know about it was because Belshar's search for her had turned up empty, and the company had reported that she hadn't shown up for work.A perpetual frown lingered on my face as I listened to the cops that Belshar had gotten involved on grandfather's request- despite Belshar's assurance that his family had it under control- relay to us how much progress they were making, which was zero progress if you asked me especially since they didn't know where she was and was waiting for the men who took her to call and demand what they wanted.I let out a tired sigh, and the man talking to my grandfather glanced at me, but I just gave him a dead stare, and that had him looking away from me to continue his monotonous speech.I glanced at Enoch who stood at the corner of the room, his eyes firing daggers in Belshar's direction. The whole show was amusing, and I couldn't h

    DELIA HERRERA POV PAST"You shouldn't be up here," I said like I hadn't spent weeks stalking her and finding out that the roof of G&H Corporations was one of her favorite spots to frequent and as she turned to face me, the wind blowing through her hair and her eyes reflecting the waning sun as the clouds gathered above, I couldn't help but wonder how someone like her managed to make Belshar fall for her.I also didn't know why she kept coming back to this particular place, but I wasn't too keen to dig up and find out what she was up to. What mattered was she was here, and there was no one around, just like I knew it would be. Selene's brow arched a bit, a confused look in her eyes that were red and puffy. Had she been crying? Maybe she kept coming here because she was contemplating suicide. It didn't matter tho, I was going to make it easy for her. I'd tried to convince myself over the weeks leading up to this that killing her was going to get me in a lot of trouble but then I figur

    BELSHAR NESSAR ABED POV I should have killed the bastard, but he was Delia's husband and of no consequences, hence why I'd let him live. I was still pissed tho, and as I strode toward my office, all I wanted to do was to put a bullet hole in the head of every guard that was in sight, but really, it was myself I was angry at. The attack on mother had been a distraction and I had fallen for it. The real target had been Celine Herrera all along. My first marriage had been a hidden one that the world didn't know about, but since the Herreras' were public figures, the wedding had been published in the news and every other outlet, and I was sure that was how Xavier got to find out about it.Enoch had been right that I had no lead about Celine's whereabouts and having him hit me with the reality of the situation destroyed me. I thought when Celine was out of sight, she would be out of mind, but I was sorely mistaken, and now everything was shrouded in the memory of her. I had watched an

    CELINE HERRERA POV "How long are you going to keep me here?" I asked and stared at David, who only glanced up from his phone and smiled. "At least until you see this place as your new home" he answered after a bit and then focused on his phone once more. "Is there still something not to your liking? Is that why you keep asking that question?" he asked, and I glared at him as I rubbed at my neck. His gaze followed the movement and the smile left his lips. "Those bruises look good on your neck, Celine," he said, his voice so eerie the hair at the back of my neck stood on edge. He smirked as if he knew just how his being creepy affected me."I think it suits you. You have such a beautiful pale throat and I can see why Xavier squeezed it too hard. You should forgive him as it wasn't deliberate. He has nightmares sometimes and can't help himself from choking out anyone within close range," David explained, and I just gazed at him, hoping he saw just what his words sounded like in my ea

    CELINE HERRERA POV Xavier grinned, his eyes gleaming. "You made me this way Celine. You corrupted my very soul, you took my heart and pierced it with vicious thorns so that I was never able to forget you. And even with that pain, I was just going to watch you from a distance; at least that calmed the beast inside, but what did you do... What did you do, huh? You went and married Belshar," he said, his eyes darkening as his words got rougher towards the end. I stared at him then my stomach dipped when he grabbed my chin and Yanked my head forward to lick languidly at my cheek. "look at what you did, Celine," he growled, his mouth moving against my cheek as he inhaled deeply. "You turned me into this and you do not even remember my name"I shoved at him, but just like Belshar, every inch of him was solid and it felt as if I was trying to push a wall as he crushed his body to mine. I didn't want this. I didn't like it when he invaded my space because he made me feel things I thought

    DELIA HERRERA POV "I want you to stop looking for Celine," I said, and Enoch turned to face me as if I was the trashiest thing he'd ever seen. "What?" He asked as if he hadn't heard what I'd said. I stepped closer to him and held his gaze. "I said you should stop trying to find Celine. It's been five days, and no one called to demand a ransom; what do you think that means?" I asked, and he sighed in exasperation as he leaned toward me, his hand on his waist."What do I think it means? I think it means she's been held against her will..." "Wrong," I said, cutting him off. "It means Celine ran away from her husband and is probably somewhere living her best life while we put a halt to ours. The board meeting to have me appointed as the new CEO will be held on Monday, and I need you to be there to support me," I said, and Enoch stared at me incredulously. "I cannot believe you. Your sister is missing, and all you can think about is how to steal her position... Are you even worried ab

    CELINE HERRERA POV Xavier didn't follow me as I walked away, and for that, I was glad because I couldn't stand him. My heart felt like it was being squeezed and all I wanted to do was scream out my frustrations because I was being suffocated by it."Where the hell are you, Belshar?" I gritted out. "You said I was yours for fucking two years so why do I get to spend four days with that psychopath. What the hell are you doing Belshar? Why the hell aren't you looking for me" I entered the room David had assigned to me, slammed the door shut, and was going to scream when I noticed David standing there with his hand hanging awkwardly by his side. "I thought you two were going to spend more time talking," he said, and I noticed that my drawers were open. "I am being held captive here, do you really think I'd have anything to hide" "You have been very cooperative, you can't blame me if I am a little cautious of you" "You didn't find anything did you, so maybe you can be less cautious no

    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.

I should have known that something like this was going to happen. "Argh" I roared, my hand clenching on the steering wheel. "I'm going to make you pay bastard"Just how was Celine feeling right now? My heart raced with every terrible scenario, Fear clawing at my chest, its icy grip suffocating me. I couldn't breathe, couldn't think, couldn't fucking wrap my mind around the fact that she had almost been hurt.I watched it all happen too.I veered off the road, my tires screeching as I turned a sharp corner. Kail's cafe loomed in the distance.When I arrived at the spot, I noticed that the car the hitmen had used was still parked out front. The windows were shattered and bullet holes riddled the door. My hands trembled, the rage in my chest suffocating. The guards were still standing around. Their greeting went unheard as the roaring

    CELINE HERRERA POV Belshar still wasn't saying anything. Anytime I got a picture, I asked him about his day, hoping that he was going to tell me about the girl and why he was meeting up with her but each time I asked, he just told me how work went and how boring everything was while skipping out the most important thing I wanted to know about.There were six pictures so far, and I was starting to get angry. It all came with messages too. Messages that ruined my day every time I thought of them.Was it a reporter sending the images? Are they going to call soon to demand money or threaten to release the picture?They probably wouldn't, especially since the photos were not that incriminating.The most intimate one was the first picture I got and that was because the lady had been in a bathing suit.I dragged my finger through my hair and then sighed. "Should I just ask Belshar about it?" We had real enemies to worry about, so why was I allowing this to chip away at me? What was I so af

    VICTOR STAKOV "I don't think our plan is going to work out, "Gabby got out as she strode toward my desk. "No, I know it is not going to," she said, stopping in front of me. She leaned toward me, her hands slamming down hard to get my attention. "Belshar is being very difficult"I glanced up from the laptop in front of me and then flipped it close when she arched a brow. Exhaling roughly, I inched close to her. "How many times are we going to go over this, Gabby""As many times I meet up with him and he ignores my very existence"I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Give it time, it's going to work. You're just too impatient for your own good""No, that's not the case this time. It's been two weeks. Two weeks of trying my damned best to get his attention. We've met a total of six times and I am still not close to getting his attention as at the start""You told me he spoke with you the last time you pretended to run into him at a conference""He also spoke to other women there," Gabby s

    CELINE HERRERA POV "What's wrong. You look pale" Victoria noticed, her eyes flaring in concern.I shook my head and dropped my phone. "Nothing, I just got a message from Belshar that's all. I think he will be home late today""You don't have to look so sad just because he's staying out, I am here to keep you company am I not"I forced a smile. "Yeah, but you're not Belshar"She rolled her eyes. "I don't know what I do at this job of mine. I'm just getting paid for doing nothing""Isn't that the dream job?"She grinned. "It is, but sometimes I need to feel the adrenaline from working hard at something"I shook my head. "You are so weird," I said, then reached for the fruit and popped one into my mouth. It didn't taste good, not with the image I'd seen replaying in my head over and over again.Why had he gone to the beach? What was he doing with her?Did they know each other from before? He hadn't even looked at her at the restaurant. Was that all a facade?God, my brain hurts just thi

    CELINE HERRERA POV "I think Kail is stalking me," Karen said and I glanced up at her. "What?""I don't know Celine... I feel like I've been running into him a lot lately""Define a lot""Like every day of this past week. He runs a cafe so how is that even possible? Just how much time does he have to be going around like that, and that too everywhere I go? We don't have the same bloody schedule." She turned to face me, her back resting against the railings. "Do you think I am being paranoid""No, I don't think so," I said since it was Kail we were talking about. Just because he turned a new leave and was acting like a saint now didn't mean that he hadn't once been the epitome of all things evil. Also, I'd noticed the way his gaze had been on Karen the last time we were at his cafe. He'd stared at her as if he was trying to see into her soul.Karen pushed away from the railing. "Should I be worried? I can't imagine what he could want from me""I think he likes you," Victoria chipped i

    BELSHAR NESSAR ABED POV"Do you have anything to report?" I asked Christian. The words that Victor had said to me a week ago rang in my head, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. It had been a threat. Was he going to target my wife? My fist clenched. "There is nothing so far. All Victor does is work and attend conference meetings. He's been creating a network for his business that has started to work from how much progress he made this week, but rest assured, all eyes are on him"Was that what he was hoping for? For all of my attention to be on him while he worked in the shadows to strike those closest to me."I want you to plant a mole in his mansion. I need to know what goes on when he's alone in his house.""Already working on that. We'll have inside information soon.""Celine has been home for a while now, but she's going to get bored as time goes on, so assign more bodyguards to her whenever she gets the urge to go out""Yes boss"I let out a rough exhale, then glanced up at Chris

    CELINE HERRERA POV I was out with Belshar, and the Sky looked so blue that I couldn't help but feel a little thrill as I gazed up at it."Nice weather, huh?" he asked as he took my hand in his.I nodded. "It's really nice""We just have to walk for a few minutes and we'll be at the restaurant. The doctor said you need to walk more than you already do""Do we have to do everything he says"He grinned. "We don't want to give that man a heart attack, so let's just follow his advice, okay? He worries over you more than I do"I chuckled. "True. Off we go then," I said, and we started to walk.The street was a lot quieter than usual, and all of a sudden, I couldn't help but think if a hitman was lurking in the shadow, waiting to get a perfect angle and take us out.It was all because of Victor Stakov. That was the name of the man who was threatening to destroy the peaceful happiness that I and Belshar currently shared. It was unfair. Belshar said he had eyes on him and that the man only s

    CELINE HERRERA POV "You look exhausted," I said as I hugged Belshar. His scent was intoxicating, and I inhaled it greedily. His arms tightened around me."I missed you so much" he murmured against my hair, the sound of his voice resonating deep within me."Is that why you're back so early" I grinned. "I was sure you'd be another four hours""I couldn't breathe for that long without you," he said, his strong hands gliding down my back and sending delicious waves of pleasure through my skin."Oh yeah," I moaned, enjoying the feeling, but there was something off. I pulled back to examine his face.Belshar looked down at me and as I stared at him, he leaned close and tried to press his lips against mine. I moved my head back, evading his kiss as I noticed the worry in his eyes. He looked anxious too, as if there was something heavy weighing on his mind."What's wrong" I asked when he made no more move to kiss me. "Did something happen at work"He shook his head, then let go of me. "It wa
