Carla
I looked at the ocean in front of me, blank.
A date.
He took me out on a date.
After all the things he did to me, I wasn’t expecting him to take me out on a date. He just didn’t seem like someone who romanticized over women or relationships in general. I thought he only knew how to romanticize over blood, torture, and drugs.
His arms wrapped around my waist and protectively held me in place. I arched my neck to the side when he nibbled on my earlobe.
“Come,” he whispered, softly as he pulled away but still kept one of his hands on the small of my back as he guided me up to a table, set up in the center of the yacht on the top. The design around me was elegant. Sophisticated.
As we walked closer, he removed his hand and walked ahead and pulled the chair out for me, and gestured me to sit. Still confused as to why he was being so nice, I sat down hesitatingly, not before throwing a glance h
CarlaI sat up instantly, gasping for oxygen. I looked around me while wiping down the imaginary beads of sweat formed on my forehead. I looked around panting, only to realize I was still on the yacht.I closed my eyes in relief. I had a nightmare. I rub my face with my palm and look at the clock. It was seven in the morning.Pushing the comforter off my body, I place my foot on the fluffy red carpet. I looked around and walk into the bathroom to see Aeden nowhere. Without bothering about him, I turn the faucet of the sink and place my palms under the ruining water and gather it in my palm and splash it on my face.I take the towel from the rack and wipe my face down with it before heading out to look for Aeden. I know for a fact that I can only trust him because if he disappears, I won’t be able to do anything. Considering how much he wants me; I am sure he won’t let anything happen to me.I walk out to see him standin
AedenShe was sleeping peacefully. A small smile crept on my lips looking at her serene face. I slowly caress her cheek. The feeling of her naturally pink cheeks against my skin is otherworldly.I fisted my hand when I remember the threat. But I couldn’t figure out who sent it. I killed Elordi with my own hands. I saw the life leave out of his body. He had no heirs and any of his members left were killed by Eric’s gang. Who had been taking control of his cartel now? He appeared out of blue and now they had become more powerful.It was still a mystery as to who’s finger that was. It was as if the person didn’t exist. Either their DNA was wiped out or they are alive and in his captive.There wasn’t a single ounce of peace. He looked like he was hell-bent on ruining me. Stealing my billions of dollars’ worth deal and threatening my wife, he was a smart one.I buried my face at the crook of her neck,
CarlaI took the tray out as my mind was already preoccupied with Aeden. No matter how much I try, he manages to get under my skin.I was through the end of the dark hallway when I bumped into something, rather someone. A small shriek escaped my lips as it was dark and I scared myself. Before the contents of the tray and I could crash down on the floor, two strong arms held me up by shoulders and steadied me.“I’m sorry,” I was quick to apologize but when I look up to see who the person was, my eyes widened and my mouth hung open in disbelief. Panic rushed my entire being and instantly began thrashing in his arms.“Leave me,” I whispered because I was still not able to get the idea of him being here. He was dressed up in all black, probably to camouflage himself in the dark.“Not so soon, Carla,” he smirked as he pulled me closer to himself and licked my ear shell.My body instantly
CarlaI just lay there on the bed motionless. Paolina left me alone a long time ago but I wasn’t able to sleep. Tears still wetted my cheeks and the pillow.I just opened an old wound and now was having a hard time closing it off.Is Finn alive? Finn my step-after or so he was supposed to be was convicted of rape and multiple sexual assaults over the years. He was the man who deprived me of everything and most importantly, a normal childhood.How does Steve know about Finn?How did he find out something I…The door was pushed open with a loud thud, making me flinch violently. I turned my head to look at the door to Aeden standing by the threshold, breathing heavily. His face renders no emotions and in one hand he tightly fisted on a bunch of papers and the other had a hand towel.My brows furrowed in confusion and before I could react much, he marched towards me and in one swim moment, turned me on my sto
Eight months agoAedenI took the drink from the counter and gulped it down all at once looking at the crowd. Too many people for just a firm re-launch.My eyes roamed around and I practically rolled my eyes at the people trying to stick up to their bosses Asses.“Enjoying the party?” I looked to my left to see the familiar face of Cliff leaning back on the counter while he gulped down the vodka.“I have no clue why we were insisted to be here,” I replied nonchalantly.“Did you think over the offer?” I asked Cliff. I was trying to buy some of his properties.It is a perfect place to hide all of my drugs. No one would have any idea. The remote location of these mansions by the island was something no one could expect. Little renovation and it could turn into nice restaurants to engage the tourists who come to visit th
Carla“Don’t move,” I screamed as I held the gun with my shaky hands and tried to aim it at Aeden.“No Don’t!” He yelled as he tried to step closer.“Get back!” I yelled again, trying to stay strong.“Carla, just give me the gun and we can talk.” He said but I instantly shook my head in negative.“Why did you do it, asshole! Why!” I yelled as I looked at him with my blurry vision.“Give me the gun and we can talk,” he said trying to stay calm and stepping towards me, but that only made me tighten my hold on the gun and force a step forward.“No!”“Carla, give me that fucking gun. Now!” He roared like a beast and I flinched violently. Tears rained down my cheeks as I saw him enraged.Why was he enraged? Wasn’t he the one who faked the fucking shootout? If I hadn’t received those anonymou
CarlaI looked at him. Waiting for some sort of reply, but I got nothing. Staring at nowhere in particular out the window, he had his hands shoved inside of his pocket and stayed calm.I kinda knew he wasn’t gonna reply but I don’t know why I was expecting something like this from him. Aeden is a selfish and cocky arse who can do anything and everything for his crazy need.“It started when I saw you dump Jack.” He said as I turned around to leave the room. His back was facing me.“You looked gorgeous that day. The fire I saw in your eyes, pulled me towards you. I had been wanting to acquire the mansions by the ocean, which were owned by Cliff. Cliff, on the other hand, wasn’t willing to sell them.” He said in a monotone as he didn’t turn around.“That’s when you came into the picture. He saw you dump your shitty ex. We all saw you and he knew that you were a woman who valu
Carla“Your chance in exchange for my freedom,” I repeated and his grip on my wrist tightened to a point where a shallow cry escaped my lips.“Aeden you are hurting me,” I winced out and but that didn’t help. He still kept glaring at me like he wanted to bury me for asking for my freedom.“What did you say?” His voice almost mocking but anyone could notice the raw anger behind them.“My freedom.” I gulped out looking at him. He was scary, there was no denying that but I had to stay strong. I can’t crumble like a paper and I most certainly will not let a man control me.“Aeden if you give me my freedom, I’ll give you what you want. Your chance to woo me. And by freedom all mean is to let me around freely in a place I know and you and your shitty men not hounding around me.” I finish. My voice came out shaky at the end.“How should I believe yo
