CELINE HERRERA POV The last guests to leave were Enoch, Delia, and Bella and I couldn't help but feel skeptical when I saw Delia and Bella conversing beside their parked cars.I stood at the door, my gaze fixed on them and then Bella looked up, our gaze clashing but she didn't look as if she'd been caught doing something wrong, instead, Bella smiled and waved at me before her attention turned back to Delia, then Delia also glanced in my direction and glared, the dead look in her eyes making feel uncomfortable.I made to head back inside when Enoch stepped out of the car and started to walk in my direction with an uncertain look on his face. In his left hand was a small parcel that was wrapped in a shiny red wrap. He smiled as he reached me, took my hand, and placed the box in it, then scratched the back of his ear, his gaze fixated on the box in my hand as I looked it over."I forgot to give this to you earlier. It's a wedding gift" he said and I glanced up to meet his eyes."Are yo

DELIA HERRERA POV *******"What did you drop into her drink? And don't even try to deny it, we both know I caught you redheaded" I said and Bella just stared at me, then her eyes widened then she smiled as if she'd just realized what it was I was talking about."Oh, you are talking about earlier. It was just a relaxative. Celine told me that she was feeling a bit nervous so I gave her the pill to calm down" Bella explained and I scoffed. "You must think I am pretty stupid, don't you? Celine never asked you for anything besides you put the drug in her drinks when you thought that no one was looking at you"Bella crossed her arms, her gaze moving to the front door of the house where Celine stood staring at the both of us, then she smiled and waved before turning her gaze back to me. "And what if I did put something in her drinks... You saw me and yet refused to speak up, doesn't that make you an accomplice to my crime""I kept quiet because I don't care if Celine gets drugged or not"

CELINE HERRERA POV "Miss Celine" Karen called, her hands tapping on my desk and my gaze snapped to hers as I forced myself to recall what we had been talking about. "Are you sure you're ok? Your focus seems a bit off today" she pointed out and I just stared at her."I didn't sleep well," I told her but I was sure she could already tell from the dark circles beneath my eyes that I hadn't."You shouldn't have come back to work so early. I mean you were recently married. We all thought you were going to take a month off at the least" I waved her words away, as I glanced down at the files in front of me. "I will not neglect my work just because I'm married Karen. Besides, Belshar is cool with this. He loves me working" I told her and forced a smile to accompany the lie. "Then why didn't you sleep well? I know your exhaustion is not due to sexual activities" she said and I watched as color rushed to her cheek, she also couldn't meet my gaze. "You look tired and you have been spacing ou

CELINE HERRERA POV I felt sick and as I walked with my head held up high so that no one would know that I was sick, I hurriedly made my way to the parking lot. It was only once I got there and saw my car did I allowed the pain of what I was feeling to show on my face. The sickness had started all of a sudden, one minute, I'd been perfectly fine and the next, it was as if I was going to die which was why I had no choice but to leave work early and go back home."You didn't give me an answer last night" Enoch's voice startled me and I turned around to face him, my gaze moving involuntarily through the empty parking lot before landing back on him. He smiled as I met his gaze then stepped toward me, but stopped some steps from me as he noticed me take a step back."What are you doing here" I asked, forcing my voice to sound steady and he tilted his head, then scratched behind his neck before his hands dropped at his sides."I came to check out the company that might one day be Delia's.

BELSHAR NESSAR ABED POV.PAST ********Selene! Her name was a wail in my chest as I drove manically towards G&H cooperation. Stone had finally managed to track her call and as the sky rumbled above with a sense of danger I couldn't help but feel like I was already late.Once I got to the company building, I rushed out of the car and then made my way to where she was.The sight made my heart freeze in my chest and the feeling was suffocating as I made my way to where she was laid on the stroller that my men had brought, the doctor beside her trying his best to save her.I got to her side and her eyes moved in my direction as if she'd been waiting for me. I stepped closer, my eyes taking in everywhere blood dripped from her pale skin. I grabbed her cold hand and cradled her head with a shaky hand to press a kiss to her forehead.The back of her head was wet and I could feel her blood coating my finger as I caressed her hair.She clutched my hand tightly and I could see her struggling

BELSHAR NESSAR ABED POV Celine blinked her eyes open and I glanced up from the book I was reading. Keeping my gaze on her to see what she would do next, I took off my glasses and placed them on the table beside me.Celine sat up with a wince, then stared directly ahead for a few seconds before lifting her hand to press and rub two fingers against both sides of her head."Ugh, that hurts," she muttered to herself, then turned to get up from the bed and froze when she met my gaze. I could see as her walls came up and her blue eyes lost some of their color. "Belshar" she called tentatively as if she didn't believe that I was there. I crossed my arms and tilted my head to peer at her. Her hands dropped to her side and I watched as she fidgeted where she sat under my intense scrutiny. "You fainted," I stated, and her eyes widened, then got bigger, and then she was on her feet in an instant, her pale skin becoming whiter, and I wondered just how it'd look when blood rushed through them,

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 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. I couldn't fucking breathe.It didn't help that I couldn't see shit through the black hood over my headPlease. Please. Please le

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

BELSHAR NESSAR ABED POV My heart was in my throat. Fuck! I slammed my hand on the steering wheel. I was speeding through the highway but I didn't care. 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
