CELINE HERRERA POV "Let go of me!" I yelled as he dragged me from the room, but just like before, when he'd carried me to the car, there was no stopping him, and my heart began to pound in my chest. "I said to let go," I screamed, and he glanced at me with a warning in his eye as if he was telling a tantrum-throwing toddler to shush and then proceeded to drag me along. The room he was heading for loomed ahead in front of me and just the door had me renewing my struggles in earnest. What the hell was he going to do, was he going to lock me up or keep me in the dark until I broke down and told him the whole truth? Was this some sort of white room torture? There was no way he could be that cruel.He fucking killed a man just some hours ago, so what the hell was I saying. He could kill me and no one would even know it. No one cared about me anyway so who was going to report me missing?I started struggling again, and I was almost tempted to start screaming for help, but I knew there wo
DELIA HERRERA POV "What do you mean she told you nothing? I thought you both were already cool with each other. Didn't you apologize and attend her wedding? What more could she want" "I did apologize, and I thought that would be enough to pacify her, but apparently, she's still very mad at me. I went to her office today and she asked me to leave. She said she wanted some space and she refused to tell me anything about Belshar""Why are you so freaking useless huh! You can't even get her to talk to you and you're her best friend. Do you know how much I am spending just to keep your mother alive?" I shouted, and she flinched and took a step back as if she thought I was going to hit her. "It's not my fault she won't talk to me, Delia. I've tried everything to make her forgive me for what I did, but she just won't budge""Maybe you are just not doing enough!" I said in exasperation and then took in a deep breath to calm myself. "You told me before that she said she had lied that she an
CELINE HERRERA POV The cuffs didn't give no matter how much I struggled, and the longer that Belshar stared down at me the more hot and bothered I got. I was breathing too loud and my heart felt as if it was going to leap out of my chest the longer the staring contest went. Belshar smirked, turned around, and then walked away from me. He stopped at a section of the wall that was bare, and then he pushed, and I stared in shock as it opened. It had been so well camouflaged that no one would have been able to tell it was even there, especially with the lightening in the room. He stepped into the secret room and I watched as the door closed.I lay on the bed waiting, trying to get my breathing under control as the realization sunk in that no matter how hard I pulled at the cuff, it wasn't going to come off, and it was either I told Belshar the truth or keep quiet and face his wrath. The creek of the door opening made my gaze jerked at the door and then I let out a loud yelp when the ro
CELINE HERRERA POV The car was waiting at the end of the tunnel just like he said it would, and I rushed toward it before forcing myself to stop and think. I was running away, and disobeying his orders so it would be unwise to take his car. Knowing him, he probably had a tracking device installed, and once I got into it and turned on the ignition, he would know that I was running away.And I was running away because I knew if I stayed put and waited for him to come back, he was just going to pick up from where he left off, and I didn't want that to happen. I'd been so close to telling him everything even though I'd told myself that I wouldn't. Even though I hated Crystal for lying, I couldn't become the reason for Belshar finding out the truth and hating her. I already felt guilty for still liking Belshar and marrying him when I knew he'd been her whole world.Crystal had married him and died because of him, and Belshar was trying to get revenge for her death by destroying me, and
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
