Unknown POV

Anger coursed through my body. The adrenaline pumping through my veins left a bitter taste in the back of my mouth, and it felt as if my chest were caving in. I tried to take deep breaths through my nose but they wouldn’t help. My mind raced with ideas for a distraction as the anger grew in intensity.

I didn’t think anything could make this worse, however, the feeling persisted and grew stronger. “This is ridiculous!” The words flew out of my mouth as soon as they formed. A wave of anger was building up inside me. I wanted to scream. I had never wanted anything more than to unleash the fury inside me. But now. Now I couldn’t. I had to be calm, and quiet. I had to stay in control.

“You can't let him win, you have to win…” I said under my breath, thinking. That would keep my emotions under check. I needed to keep my focus.

“You are not the loser here” The image of his face appeared before me. He was still grinning at her while I stood there stunned from shock. Anger surg

    Rhys“Can I come in?” She was staring at me with those large eyes that looked more like big blue saucers than anything else. I opened the door, and she stepped into my room. “It’s a little messy. Sorry about the mess and all,” I apologized.She nodded.“Can’t sleep?” I asked after a moment of silence. It wasn't unusual for Tessa to come into my room, especially after what had happened tonight.“I can’t sleep, nightmares” She said it casually , and I knew she didn't mean it as a joke. She looked around the room. “Can I sleep here tonight? I am…. am scared” Her voice trailed off, as if she didn't know how to finish her statement. I understood. I was also having trouble sleeping but I didn't tell her that. We didn't quite understand each other's presence yet, but that's not the point. What I wanted was to make sure she was okay - even if she felt safer sleeping on my bed instead of in her own room.All through the next day, I could tell something was still up with Darcy. She was hiding

    Darcy“We are here” his voice rang through my head and the words reverberated inside my chest.I had never felt so scared in my life. I looked around at the crowd of people on the streets. The air was cold and humid as though it wasn't even September yet.I looked up and the stars were scattered across the sky, almost like they were just hanging out there to watch us. The moon hung over everything like a big crescent moon that glistened with silver liquid.“Okay...” I couldn't understand. Was this the place he was talking about? It looked like an abandoned property with a bush track leading away from it.He chuckled at my response. “ Come on, you'll see”I could hear the smile in his tone but didn't say anything because I honestly didn't know what he meant by that. We stood there for a while, waiting. The wind blew through the grass making little rustling sounds and I felt something brush against me, like leaves blowing around the street and into our direction.“Are you sure you are no

    Unknown POVThe next time I visited Madam Margaret, she looked at me with less resentment than before, which was a considerable improvement. It seemed that she'd gotten what I needed.“So, any news?” I asked taking a seat opposite her desk. She looked up from her desk and gave me a smile.“You know I would do anything for my money” , she said, “but as it is…well, the situation has changed quite drastically.” She took out an envelope containing several papers and placed them on my desk. I glanced over them, as if they weren't important to my mission. “And your source?” I questioned, knowing very well there had to be someone. “Go ahead and open it” , she answered, a little too enthusiastically in my opinion, but I did so anyway. “What is this hospital?” I asked skeptical of the photo I had seen inside of this envelope. It didn't look like the sort of place you could just waltz into.“It's a private facility”. She answered. “And it's the most advanced comestic hospital in all of city

    DarcyHe lifted me up when we got home and he grabbed me roughly by my neck, pressing his lips against mine harshly.It was hard to breathe with the strong grip Rhyshad used on me, forcing me to move against his body. He didn’t release me even after he had finished kissing me, he simply held me tightly in place. He kept muttering sweet, filthy words into my ear as his hand slowly moved downwards along my sides.I loved the sound from each as it sent more wetness to my core.I shivered violently beneath his touch.His fingers traced along my waist until they made their way across my abdomen, tracing the outline of my curves and leaving trails of fire where his finger touched me. A part of my mind wondered when we started kissing, and another part realised it was probably inevitable that our lips would come together. There was something about him that made me unable to resist.And I certainly wasn't resisting now either.After a few seconds, I pushed away from him abruptly and pushed h

    RhysI woke up to see her staring at me with a smile playing on her lips.“Are you good?”She nodded but she was blushing and I couldn't understand why.“Is something happening?”She surprised me by leaning closely and kissing me, regardless of my morning breath. “Can you fuck me roughly?” I was stunned when I looked back at her. Her face was too innocent for those words to have fallen from.But she set her back on the bed, her thighs were spread wide revealing her pink little cunt. And I couldn't resist myself or her. I rolled over and immediately inserted my two middle fingers into her and she closed her eyes and threw her head back, sighing in contentment.“Please!” she whimpered. “Oh please, I…! Right there, please! I feel so good!”I grinned devilishly at her and continued to finger her faster than she could reach. She was hot and tight and her wetness was slick beneath my fingers. And she moaned again, and again, louder each time as I pushed harder into her pussy with my finge

    Darcy“What is going on?” But Rhys was already on his feet walking away.“Can you tell me what is happening?” I followed him around naked.“Not now” He threw a shirt over his hand and wore his pants before hurrying off.I didn't even get the chance to say more. From the window I saw him driving off and I couldn't understand anything.After a while, I called him several times and it went straight to voicemail. I held my phone close hoping he'd call and I didn't know when I dozed off.Soon I was in a weird place, Rhys bleeding, and I was tied with ropes that were digging into my flesh was also making me bleed and I felt so weak, the blood loss was taking too long but the adrenaline rush was keeping the pain at bay, the fear at bay.Someone took steps towards me, I thought for certain that he was going to kill me right then and there and it would've been okay but not with Rhys lying on the ground in the pool of his blood like that.“Now that you know that no one else is coming to your re

    Darcy It was already one in the afternoon and Rhys was not bad. After that weird dream, I had a nagging feeling that something was terribly wrong and if it wasn't that, then I was losing my mind.The first month after my surgery that made me a whole new person physically, I started therapy but I stopped committing to it.Now I wanted so badly to talk to somebody, anybody and I decided that I needed therapy. Maybe my therapist would be the right person to tell me that I was losing my mind.As I walked in, I couldn't pretend that I wasn't anxious, it felt like it's been ages since the last session. It felt like the first day all over again.Beads of sweat formed on my forehead despite the cool air conditioning in the waiting room. The steady drip of water from a faucet sounded in the background and my heart beat faster than normal. Sweat dripped onto the table as well as the palms of my hands. A couple of strands of hair fell into my face and I brushed them back.I sighed for the umpte

I couldn't speak or move, as I tried to focus solely on their voices, which seemed to grow louder with each passing second.There were loud cackles and I knew those sounds. I had heard them so many times, burning in my nightmares. Sounds that shook deep into your soul like they could tear you and your deepest desires apart. Sounds that screamed chaos, they were pounding at me like a cat playing with its food before devouring it and leaving the bones to crumble underneath the weight of its appetite. I knew those sounds. “You weren't expecting anyone to discover your dirty little secrets,

    Darcy“I love you, Tessa” His words made my heart race and the world stopped spinning around me. His voice was so calm but laced with determination.My knees gave up underneath me, I felt dizzy and weak. My heart was pounding and everything seemed to come to a standstill for the moment.How did he say those three words to me? I mean I loved him. Of course, I loved him, I loved him since forever.I had always dreamed of when I would hear him say those words to me, but this wasn't how I imagined that moment to happen. The first time I heard them, it was obvious it was because he wanted me to keep this child. And now? It was to make up for calling me stupid. Not once did he mean those words.YetI felt like I couldn't breathe, my chest heaved up and down as if I were running. Every fiber of my body was shaking, my legs couldn't seem to support me anymore.Why was he saying this? Was he really thinking that I would buy whatever he just said? Was it a trick to manipulate me?Or did he truly

    Darcy“Try? Do you realize how stupid you sound? Do you? Why can’t you see the red flags? you are so gullible that you believe whatever anyone says to you. I've been betrayed before, I will always be betrayed, no matter what. And you seem to think that I am just like any other person? you think that I'll change because you tried to make me happy? You need to grow up Tessa! fucking grow up and get your head out of all those fantasies” I couldn't get them out of my head ; They stayed inside my mind like poison. I kept repeating them over and over, like the mantra, like the mantra that kept repeating in my mind.I knew he was right, I knew how cruel his words sounded . My mind was running wild, like I was going insane with the way it kept repeating those same words. It took everything in my power not to burst out crying on the spot. I was still breathing heavily and I didn't even notice when I stopped walking. I simply kept walking, taking long deep breaths. My body was shivering with s

    Rhys I thought my head was going to explode from the pressure I was feeling at that moment. My heart was beating so fast I swore it would give out any second. I couldn't breathe. It seemed like I had forgotten how to and I was suffocating. I couldn't think straight, it just didn't seem real. All I could see were black dots. I was used to everything being black and white, it was easier to pick sides and focus on the side you have chosen but right now it was all blurry and gray, like looking through a thick layer of dust. Everything around me was dark except for those black spots, which weren't really spots, they seemed to be tiny holes in space. They made me feel sick and nauseous. Like I was drowning. Or maybe I was dying. But what kind of death?There was no lead or response from the contact I had reached out to. Mr Stark still wasn't allowed to talk to anyone, Vincent was still roaming freely after killing our grandfather.What was I supposed to do now, just collapse into a puddle

  • Revenge Of The Scarred Billionairess    Thoughts

    DarcyIt had been three days, three days since I last saw Rhys. Three days of craving his presence, of missing him more than any other person I’d ever known, in ways I couldn’t quite explain to myself and would probably never be able to fully comprehend even if I wanted to. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do now that he wasn’t here- no he was here but far. I certainly hadn’t gone over the past three days planning an elaborate, intricate plan for what I could possibly say or do when I'll see him. It hadn’t crossed my mind once. I hadn’t done anything but stare at the door of my room as if it would magically make him appear.It was three days of wanting his touch, his kisses, and his arms around me every single second of the day. To feel the warmth radiating from his skin while we lay together on a bed, listening to the gentle patter of rain hitting against the window pane. To feel his lips pressed against mine, the taste of him lingering even after I pull away, the soft sigh of r

    Unknown “What? why did you call me out here?” I demanded once I opened her front door. I glared down at her with eyes so intense and as always I expected her to cower away but instead she stared me down right back.“Because I wanted to see how you were doing, that’s why. And to ask why you had not called me to apologize for what you did the last time”I scoffed at her and shook my head in disbelief. “You expect me to apologize? You want to talk about apology when you are the one who is in violation of the terms of our deal. I am doing nothing wrong. I did what was necessary to keep myself safe from your unnecessary gossip and I refuse to let you disrespect my husband. You are the one who owes me an apology Blair” She looked at me confused, trying to find any signs of remorse on my face. She finally settled into shock at the fact that I hadn't just spat at her. “Unbelievable!” She snorted at me, rolling her eyes in disbelief. “You are unbelievable!” I couldn’t tell if it was a threa

    Rhys“Didn’t I ask you to leave Claire?” I tried to control my voice but failed but the rawness didn't go unnoticed, the snarls from my voice were as loud as sirens.“It’s me,” I heard her voice and I turned to her. I wanted to ask if she was okay but she seemed a little nervous until I watched her whole body relax.With the way her large greyish-blue eyes were looking I could tell she was taking in my appearance and the look of shock on her face only confirmed that I looked like a mess, a total disaster.But it was nothing compared to the battle I had going on in me. The little voice in my head was begging to be released, to pounce on anything but I couldn’t let it, not when Tessa was here. I didn’t want anything to go wrong.I didn’t want to lose control and hurt her just like I had done with the guard, so I turned away from her scrutinising stare to focus on my walls which suddenly seemed almost peaceful, almost interesting.I could feel Tessa’s gaze, boring holes on my back and I

    Vincent His arms were tied, mouth sealed while tears and sweat streamed down his cheeks to free himself from a strong grip. He tried desperately to kick away the arm holding him still, but that only made things worse for the man holding the other end of his chains. The men surrounded him, rough hands holding him back at each side as he fought against them with no success whatsoever. There was nothing he could do.I walked back to where I was and pulled the tape off his mouth.“Please Sir, I am sorry” He wailed. “Please, sir. Don’t hurt me anymore. Please, I beg you.” He begged me in vain. I ignored his pleas. I didn’t have the time to be nice. My mind was on something far more important at the moment than some silly human life. It wasn't about him, it never had been.“I gave you a simple job, I paid you for it, and yet, you failed me in my one request, you failed us all by your own incompetence.” He flinched when I spoke, his entire body trembling at the mere thought of what I was g

    DarcyRhys stared at me in disbelief. His face showed pain and he struggled to control it.“I need to go” He suddenly announced.“Rhys…” I began but I didn't continue and he didn't stop either. I felt my heart ache once the door slammed behind me.I didn't come out of my room the next day, I wasn't sure what my place was in the house anymore, and I wasn't sure of what awaited me. I guess it was an act of cowardice, but what would you have had me do? what would you have done differently? Rhys didn't come back to my room, I didn’t blame him, I saw him fighting to keep his emotions in check, that alone was enough to make anyone want to take action against something they couldn’t control. But somehow I felt I was right.When I couldn’t deal with the tension and when my curiosity got the best of me, I left my room.The house was dead as a corpse, and my presence made no difference to any of it. It was as if the events of the previous day had taken its life, I could hear the maids whisperin

    DarcyWe got back home, Rhys and I.By the time we returned, finding those photos was the last thing on my mind. We couldn't get to see Mr Stark as the doctor strictly advised against it. He insisted that the old man needed time to be monitored and need to rest properly without the bustle that came with visitors.I could not remember much from last night but when I woke up to a throbbing headache . It felt like someone was pounding on my skull with a giant hammer. My eyes were heavy and I could barely focus them. For some reason, I was in my bedroom- still in my bedroom. But I had the most bizarre feeling of déjà vu...“Relax” that musical voice told me. “You are safe now . No one will hurt you.” That voice… that beautiful yet cold voice was familiar to me somewhere...Rhys.My eyes that I had closed suddenly snapped open as I looked into his mesmerizing pair of sapphire eyes , staring back at me, as if he knew what I was going through.“No one is here to hurt you...”He repeated, rea
