Third Person's povLike the person he is; the figure continue spying around and this time,it was on two certain random people. For fun; he's decided to spy on their activities."Why did you take such photos of us behind my back?"Madeline's face turned red in both anger and shame.She was the one who had planned to take his photos and post them online, but she didn't expect a man like Julius to resort to dirty tactics and threaten her like this!Lowering his head, Julius looked into her eyes and said, "I apologize. It's an old habit of mine. Besides, if you hadn't turned your back on me in the first place, I wouldn't have made use of these photos."Hearing his explanation, Madeline became utterly speechless. Feelings of annoyance and disbelief swirled in her chest.This man even had the gut to blame her for it? What a bastard!"Well, I'm not here to have an open discussion with you. I'm just here to inform you of the possible consequences of your future actions." After speaking, Juliu
Time seems to have slowed down as I wait for a reaction from Kane. His breathing has gotten louder, and his hot body beneath mine has turned to stone. Part of me wants to rub my hand down his body to touch him the way I've always wanted to. I push those sick thoughts out of my head. Why do I want someone that hates me so much? Why do I want someone that tortures me any chance that he gets?The answer was clear. As long as I was his mate, it would always be this way. I knew why he hadn't rejected me as yet; it was so that everything he did to me would impact me so much more.It was the exact reason that I wouldn't reject him either, even though I knew it would hurt so much to do it. When I left him, I wanted him to feel the same pain; no, I wanted to hurt him more than he did to me.I wanted to prove to him that no matter what he did to me in the past or present or even future, nothing would make me fall. I'll always fight back. I'll always be the one on the winning side.I may have be
"I'm leaving today," I tell him; I didn't want any more lectures; I've heard enough. "See to it that she's fed properly and that no one goes into that room except her maids. Make sure that she doesn't get out either.""When will you be back, huh?" he asks me. "In case you haven't realized, there is an entire kingdom and their allies searching for the girl. She isn't a normal person; many influential people love her. Are you just going to leave us here to fend for ourselves if they find us?"I knew she was loved by many; it's why I chose her in the first place; I didn't need him to tell me that."Do not worry," I tell him. "They won't be here anytime soon. I got someone to throw them off. They're searching in a different area from where we are right now."He chuckles, "how long do you think it will take them to realize that they've been played? The moment that they do, they're coming straight here.""I won't let that happen," I assured him. "Do you not know that I always have a plan for
Jessie's signed, looking over at the kids who are so prepared to continue hearing their mother's storytelling. ~~I sit by the tree and look over the cliff. I had a lot on my mind. For some reason, ever since Maya has entered my life, I can't stop thinking about things I've gone through in the past. I couldn't get his words out of my head either.Was I okay with doing the same things to Maya that my father had done to me? Was I alright with torturing her the way that I was doing now? I was so caught up in getting my revenge that I didn't think about the consequences of my actions.But how was I to forget that they killed my family? How was I supposed to move on and let her go?Just the thought of letting her go sends me into a full-blown rage.I would not let her go. I will never let her go. She was mine and always will be. I don't care what anyone has to say about that.Even if her brothers come for her, I still won't let her go. They would have to kill me first.Maybe that's what I'
I feel Kane stiffen at his words. Even I'm taken aback by them.I was right all along. Anna was responsible for this. She made sure that her threat came true. At least she tried to make it come true. Her plan may just have backfired on her. I can feel the tension flowing from Kane's body, and I think everyone inside of here could feel it as well. Judging by the looks on his men's faces, they were all terrified of what was to come. Would he also punish them? He seemed to be pissed at everyone right now.I wasn't sure if Kane would let this slide or punish her for her actions. I've never seen him punish her before, and I'm not getting my hopes up."Get Anna in here." He says in the most dangerous tone I've ever heard from him since the day I met him. Even I shiver from his voice.This wasn't going to be easy to watch. He wasn't in a good mood, and if I didn't hate Anna so much, I would have felt sorry for her.His men do as he says, and a few minutes later, Anna is being forced into the
The door slams open just as I've fallen asleep, and it wakes me up instantly. I blink once, then twice, and a figure to the front of me catches my attention. I know without having to look twice that it's Kane.His body is swaying, and it's only then that I realize he has a cup in his hand and reeks of alcohol.I raise from the bed and ran to his side before he could fall to the ground.I wince when the glass drops to the ground, and it makes a complete mess around us.Kane's hands grip my waist tightly and pull my body closer to his. I gasp as he buries his face in the crook of my neck. I know that I shouldn't be doing this. I know that I shouldn't care at all for him.Still, I lift my hands to rub his back gently."Maya," he says my name in a painful whisper. "Maya," he says again.I don't say anything; just continue to hold him in silence. I hate how much hearing my name from his lips affects me.One of his hands goes to my hair, and he gently strokes it. He touches me like he's sca
"That asshole lied to us," I growl. "He f*****g lied to us, and we believed him like a fool! I've been searching for days now, and none of us have had any good leads to find my sister. What the f**k are we doing wrong? Who the hell has her?"Lucy rubs my shoulder, "we had no choice but to believe him. Please don't beat yourself up over it. He was the best lead that we had; no one could have known for sure that he was lying. We don't have time to sit down and worry over our mistakes; let's get up and look for her again."James walks in with Lucas, and they are both just as tense as I am. We're failing my sister; every time we make a wrong turn, she has to suffer. I can feel it in my bones that she's unhappy; wherever she is, she's not doing well. Our bond is strong; I can feel it so clear that she might as well have been standing right here telling me what she's been going through.Lucas walks up to me, and I can see that he's going through it just as much as I am. Lucas and Maya have
I wake up next to Maya; my head hurts, and I know I've had too much to drink. She's asleep, and I can remember only parts of last night. I'm not sure what I said to her or what happened between us. I remember walking into the room and calling for her; I remember that she was trying to console me. I'm not sure how to feel about it.Why would she do that? Why would she try and make me feel better when I already hurt her so much? What kind of heart did this woman have?She stirs next to me, and I can't help but stare at her beautiful face. She's so beautiful that it hurts to look at her. It hurts because I can't believe how much I've done to her, how much pain I've brought upon her. Every time I think about what I've done, I feel this stabbing pain in my chest.I let out a groan and pulled myself out of bed. I kept losing the inner battle, and it was becoming too much. The more I came closer to losing the fight, the more I realized the damage I'd done to us. The more I realize the mess I
