Lucas’s POVI let her lie pass smoothly and carried on seriously “Ok Hope, tell me, are you kidnapped or are you here on your own free will?”I saw clearly how torn she was about her answer.It was obvious that they either warned her about me or threatened her before getting out of the car, because even a blind man can clearly tell she was forced into being in this car.“I’m not kidnapped” she said in a strained voice.I smirked as I asked amusingly “So they are telling the truth, that you’re a prostitute?”She looked about two seconds away from head butting me but barely controlled herself as she glared at me venomously.“I’m a woman, being taken to someone, out of my own free will” she emphasized tightly.It felt so amazing, watching my words get under her skin and piss her off that much, I don’t know why, but I was enjoying her reactions way too damn much for my own good.I nodded my head repeatedly then shocked her to her core as I asked smugly “Why were you strangling the man tha
Angelina’s POVMy heart started beating erratically at Lucas’s threat.The men’s words from the car earlier come to me at that instant ‘We’re so dead’Shit!He’s really going to kill them!But what will he do to me then? Kill me? Torture me? Use me?The assholes labeled me a fucking prostitute for God’s sake!Hell no! I’d rather die than be used like that!I held my breath and shook more intensely as Lucas began counting and my mind started going into overdrive.When he reached three and none of them spoke up, Lucas pulled the trigger.A little shriek escaped my lips at the unexpected loud sound of the gun going off as I flinched in my place. I mean I knew guns were loud, but I never witnessed it with my own ears before.I watched as the driver dropped dead on the snowy ground with a bullet in the middle of his forehead, and the blood started staining the white snow underneath him.No one paid me the slightest attention, not even Lucas as he wasted no time firing his weapon again.Thi
Lucas’s POVI mean she was scared from the start, but she was trying to hide it, manage it, but after the stupid stunt I just pulled, her fear of me reached a whole new level, and it caused my crazy heart to break into a million pieces.Her eyes were shut close and her lips were trembling as she continued to whimper involuntarily, waiting for me to begin hurting her, I had no doubt it. That was all that was on her mind as she felt me approaching her, standing in front of her.Those soft little whimpers that were filled with dread made my skin crawl with disgust at myself.I shouldn’t have made her watch this.I should have taken her away first.Stupid Lucas!Stupid asshole Lucas!No amount of words can ever erase that fear now. No amount of softness or gentleness from me can make her believe that I wouldn’t dare to harm a hair on her head.I have no idea what the assholes told her about me, and it was very clear that they did mention me judging by how scared she was to even open her m
Angelina’s POVThe trip in the car was very short, I didn’t even have time to ponder over what Lucas has in store for me once he comes into the office.He promised that no one will harm me, but he didn’t include himself in that promise. Whether I was reading too much into his words or he really meant to exclude himself was unknown to me. All I know is, I want to get away from him as soon as possible, if that was even possible anymore.His tone was sincere and when I opened my eyes to look at him, as he saw my fear of him, I noticed how hurt he really was that he managed to scare me so damn much. It was like he lost control of himself and only after, did he realize what he had done. But it was too late, because I want nothing to do with him now. I just want him to stay as far away from me as possible, guilty or not, good or not, gentle or not, merciful or not, willing to help me despite my father or not, I didn’t want to find out anymore about him than I already did in those twenty min
Lucas’s POVI saw her regret her words to me as soon as she said them, thinking it would anger me enough to punish her for calling me a psychopath and a sadist.While those words should hurt me or offend me, they did the exact opposite. They amused the hell out of me, but I didn’t let it show on my face however.She only just met me but she managed to see the side of me that not many people understand, that many people mistake for me just being careless or crazy, She was right to some degree. I do enjoy causing pain to people and I have no problems coming up with many twisted ways to do just that. It’s what I’ve been itching so bad to do since I took over the leadership from Alex. But I only do that to those who deserve it, and there is a very clear line that I would never cross nor be forced to cross, no matter how crazy and insane my mind drives me to be sometimes.I kept my face blank as I said firmly “I don’t have to explain nor defend my actions to you. If I were you, I’d worry a
Angelina’s POVThat pig, cocky, son of a bitch!At first, I didn’t know whether he believed this made up story or not but now I’m not so sure.Did I really convince him or was he just provoking me to tell the truth?Probably the latter.And as insulting as it is, I had to play the prostitute card for lack of a better life saving option.He angered me so much with his suggestion to buy me, I retorted bitingly, against my better judgment “I’m not sure you can afford me”He chuckled heartily and it brought goosebumps to rise everywhere on my body.He said amusingly with interest in his eyes “Name your price, I’ll pay you upfront, but once the deal is on, there is no going back, you’ll be mine”I wanted to slap him in his beautiful, annoying face so bad, I had to ball my hands to fists to keep myself in place.The possessiveness in his tone when he side ‘you’ll be mine’ made my heart contract in my chest.I had enough of this sick game, the whole scenario was so vile, it made my empty sto
Angelina’s POVHis home was breath taking. We entered through the iron gates; which were guarded by three armed men. I still didn’t understand what these people do for a living to have all those men, power, and weapons. All I knew was that their town was on the border between America and Canada and that Lucas was the leader here.Leader of what exactly? I have no idea.The driver said that we weren’t passing through his town but taking another route that was right next to it.But he was obviously waiting for us, expecting us even.How did he know we were going to be there?We got out of the car and I couldn’t help myself as I gazed at the beauty of his house.It was a huge, two story house built with a design that suited its location perfectly. The rock formation which the house was built with, made it appear as if it was within one of the Alaskan mountains that was turned into an elegant modern home.There was a smaller, also rock built, house right next to it which probably served a
Lucas’s POVWhen my mom asked her if she was in any pain and needed a pain killer, I watched her tears fall, like that question opened up a very deep wound in her heart.I felt like she was seconds away from sobbing but yet again, for I don’t know how many times since I met her merely an hour ago, she held herself barely and shook her head at my mom.Mom noticed how her question indirectly affected her more than it should as she looked at her tenderly but didn’t know what else to do or say because she doesn’t even know anything about her.Sara came and took her to her room while my mom turned to me with a very angry glare.Shit! I’m in so much trouble and I knew exactly why.I knew I went overboard when I told everyone who she was and what she was doing in that car. I know how much I fucking hurt her with my words and while I felt extremely bad for doing that, a part of me liked messing with her.Because I knew she was nothing like what she was claiming to be. And I will make sure mom
