Demon and Adonis clashed like two opposing forces of nature, their bodies moving with deadly precision. Each blow was filled with years of unspoken rage, resentment, and betrayal. The sounds of their fists meeting skin echoed through the forest, and Ashley watched helplessly as her worst fears began to unfold before her eyes.Amelia clung to Ashley’s arm, shaking. "Ashley, we have to do something! They’re going to kill each other!" Her voice trembled, but Ashley’s mind was racing too fast for words. She couldn’t pull her eyes away from the violent whirlwind before her. Every fiber of her being wanted to scream, wanted to run between them and make them stop. But how?Adonis had always been an enigma, a man who dominated the world around him with cruelty, power, and an iron will. But now, seeing him like this—engaged in a primal, bloody fight with the only person he’d ever trusted—shattered something inside Ashley. She had once thought there was more to Adonis, a hidden vulnerability be
The silence that followed Adonis’s departure was thick, weighted with the echoes of the battle that had just transpired. Ashley stood frozen in place, her heart pounding in her chest as she watched the shadows swallow Adonis whole. His dark words lingered in the air, like a storm cloud threatening to return.Amelia lowered the gun slowly, her hands shaking as the adrenaline that had fueled her courage began to fade. She had never held a weapon before, let alone pointed one at a man like Adonis. Her knees buckled slightly, but before she could fall, Ashley rushed forward and wrapped her arms around her sister.“It’s over,” Ashley whispered, her voice thick with emotion. She wanted to believe it, but deep down, she knew Adonis’s words carried a dangerous truth. This wasn’t over, not by a long shot.Amelia buried her face in Ashley’s shoulder, her body trembling from head to toe. “I didn’t know what else to do,” she admitted in a shaky breath. “I couldn’t let him hurt you.”“You did what
The sun was barely peeking over the horizon when Ashley awoke, her body stiff from the restless sleep. Amelia was still curled up beside her, sleeping deeply after the harrowing events of the night before. Demon was outside, sharpening a blade, his expression hard as he prepared for the inevitable confrontation with Adonis.Ashley sat up slowly, her mind still racing with thoughts of what lay ahead. The peace they had found in the small cabin felt fragile, like a thin veil stretched over a storm waiting to break. She knew it was only a matter of time before Adonis found them—and when he did, there would be no turning back.She quietly stepped outside, the crisp morning air biting at her skin. Demon glanced up from his work but said nothing as she approached him. His silence was heavy, but it wasn’t unfriendly. It was the quiet of a man who knew the weight of the fight that lay ahead.“We don’t have much time,” he finally said, his voice low and grave. “Adonis will come for us soon.”A
MA Ch 1 Ashley sighed as her sister Amelia barged like thunder into the room with her face beautifully done with makeup resembling a Barbie doll. It was a time, her grand entrance was expected by her sister. “Oh my gosh, guess what?” Amelia was yelling, holding her hands over her face, widening her eyes with undying excitement. “There’s another awesome party that’s so great blah blah, and it’s thrown by a famous blah blah, and we’ve got to go, No No No.” Ashley flipped the page of her notebook. I must be awarded if there is a guessing game. You came here for that.” She added and rolled over the bed with her mess of school spread around. Amelia narrowed her eyes at her sister after speaking her true intentions in loud. Amelia has a party every Friday. She tries to get Ashley involved every single time, although she always refuses, giving excellent excuses. I came because it’s not an awesome party, but a life-changing party, and lastly, it’s not thrown by a famous blah blah blah. B
MA Chapter 2 It was a novel experience for Ashley to sway her hips in public but tried to enjoy herself with unknown music buzzing. Soon she decided to rest. She was struggling to breathe normally. She walked over to the bar wiping the droplets of sweat from her forehead and Amelia just rolled her eyes, watching the low stamina of her sister but deep down she was happy at least she was trying her best to keep up with the environment which was unfamiliar to her. “Seriously!” Amelia shouted, rushing over to her sister as Ashley sat down at the corner sipping a soft drink. “Let’s go back. We might catch some hottie.” She pulled Ashley with her hoping she could grab the attention of someone. “You go back and catch some hottie. I’ll just be here drinking coke.” Ashley held the table tight and pulled out her hand from Amelia, showcasing her utter disinterest by holding her drink high to cheer her up. “Coke? What are you, five? You are already eighteen and who cares if not?” Ameli
Yes, they were rich, but they tried to live moderately and both her parents were too friendly with their business partners and nice to have any enemies. ‘Who could be that heartless?’ she thought. Her parents were confused about the kidnappers. “Sorry to inform you of this bad news, miss, but we need your cooperation to help find your sister.” The second officer was the one to speak up this time. Ashley nodded, looking between her parents and the policemen. “Ashley, how could you leave your sister like that?” Mrs. Gregory accused, holding her arm tight. “She said she’ll sort her ride back home on her own and I should use her car. She’s the one who left me on my own at the party, and I had no other choice but to leave without her.” Ashley tried to defend herself. Mrs. Gregory only shook her head and continued crying while mustering some things about why she allowed them to go to that party. “Miss?” one officer called, and she directed her attention back to the cops standing in
Ashley saw their duties was about to change, and the guards went to freshen up. She took the chance and sneaked out of the major premises. She hailed the cab and hurried to the address. She checked her phone for the third time before concluding that she was in the right place; at least according to what the address said. This message gave her a tiny hope of seeing her sister again. She was desperate, and every passing second felt like a burden over her soul, imagining the condition her sister could be in. The place was abandoned and by night she was sure the place will be filled with bandits. She furrowed her brows as she looked at the old buildings, some already collapsed while some were about to. “Of course, the place will be shady.” She said out loud, trying to keep herself steady over the uneven ground filled with boulders. “Were you expecting a reservation at a five-star hotel?” She groaned as she turned to leave. How could she be so stupid to come here? What if it was a t
Situation was fucked up for everyone, they were doing which they never imagined. Plotting against Adonis was difficult, especially when they saw the poverty together, but the changes he experienced while rising to this position made him worried about his friend who is everything for him. He started the engine, then he drove for fifteen minutes before stopping at an enormous gate. Her breathing was escalating as the car was heading on the premises. Her curious gaze was wandering everywhere, watching the amount of security and bodyguards holding gigantic guns in their hands, roaming on the balcony and teres of the mansion. At every step was clutching her heart, but the face of her beloved sister pushed to any extent. The guild she was accumulating inside her was too much to care about her safety. She was determined and composed sooner and she thought to herself. “Here is the gate. Go in alone. Remember, the guards are going to interrogate you.” Damon warned her, slowing down the car
