“I need to ask you a question... Now I realize you've lost your teeth too... What a catastrophe...” “You haven't lost your black sense of humor.” “I realized that my daughter didn't get much out of you. Don't take it personally. She's only a little girl and has no experience of such things... She didn't even know how to pull out her nails and teeth in such a way that the pain was unbearable... She still has a lot of compassion in her. You should have made her more cruel, Sarah. You know that's important.” Anna looked at him puzzled. Had he witnessed the torture? To what extent were he and Adam together? Or had Adonis given him the recordings? She didn't believe that Max sneaking into the mansion was part of any agreement the two of them had made. So, in a way, Adam knew about the connection between Adonis and his father? He shook his head and went back to concentrating on the psychological torture his father was applying to Sarah. He didn't want to miss a word she said. It
“Stop it, Anna.” Henry said disappointedly. “Do you believe what that woman tells you? Thiago was her son with a werewolf. I'll talk about this story with you another time. I did order you to kill her without him, but it was after she had killed his mother. I had to get revenge somehow. I wanted her to suffer. You must remember him. He was always around.” “Yes. I remember that he looked a lot like you.” “That doesn't make us related, Anna. People look like other people.” Anna believed Henry, because his story made so much more sense. And also because she loved him. She didn't want to be forced to hate him. “How do you know that Sarah doesn't know about the diary?” “Believe me, my child, I can read her every expression and gesture. In time, in this life I lead, this knowledge could be the difference between living or dying.” “But only trusted people enter that mansion. I don't think anyone else has done that.” “But he did. And Sarah knows who did it.” “So why don't you u
Anna's father looked at her with pride in his eyes. “Keep thinking that, daughter. It's taken too long. You'll find the truth.” They stood there, watching Sarah being walled up, as she begged for mercy. She asked for forgiveness and wished Anna would shoot her in the head. When the last brick was left to be laid, and she disappeared inside, she screamed; “Jenna! It was Jenna!” Her voice came out muffled because of the cubicle, but they understood perfectly what she had said. Anna turned in surprise to her father. His countenance turned grim. Anna had to warn Jenna. She didn't know why she would steal the diary, but she didn't want to see her tortured by her father. She knew he didn't really love Jenna. He wouldn't think twice about hurting her. She even thought that at that moment, in those few seconds, he had already planned everything he was going to do to her. “She's lying, Daddy. Just like she lied about you being Thiago's father and...” Anna said to see his reactio
“It used to be. She didn't tell me because she doesn't want me to abandon her.” “Would you abandon Jenna if you knew where Mom was buried?” “Immediately.” “Dad, but that's awful.” “She knows I only married her because she gave me hope that one day she would tell me.” “Daddy, Jenna really loves you. Of course she'll hide where she buried Mom's body, since she knows you're only with her because of that.” “She's sick, Anna. That's not love. When you love someone, you want to see them happy. And not hold them back for selfish reasons.” “You seem so happy when you're together that I never imagined you were going through a drama.” “She's not bad company, and I didn't say I'm unhappy with her... Perhaps if she had revealed herself to me and not blackmailed me, I might have fallen in love with her. But when you believe you're under an obligation, that feeling nullifies the chances of love being born.” “I fell in love with Adam, even though I was held captive in his hou
Adonis smiled. “The Alpha? Ah, Anna... The boss wanted to kill her himself, for hiding the existence of his son from him.” Anna felt the tears welling up again. Adonis was right. Her father wouldn't spare Jenna without the intervention of someone like Adam, and when Adam found out everything, he was likely to celebrate, and even participate in Jenna's death. Although her father had said he wouldn't give her a slow death, he might not be able to resist. She was afraid of what her father would do to Jenna. He didn't know why she had hidden the diary, nor did he understand why she had lied about it being stolen. But that didn't matter. She was his friend. She stood by her and kept her secret, even though she knew it could cost her her life. She deserved Anna to do everything in her power to try and save her. And even at the risk of Adam refusing, she would ask him for help. But first, she had to eliminate all other resources. “Adonis, can you bypass Henry's security and get Jenna
Anna's father arrived at the mansion where he was living with his grandchildren and was welcomed by them. Their joy was contagious, and he let himself stay there with them. He took great pleasure in their company and loved them more than anything in the world. However, he knew that the twins, David and Donald, didn't have the same potential as Ian and Tayme. It was obvious that they weren't human either, but... They would probably follow in Maxwell's footsteps and moral standards, and that made them useless to him professionally. They weren't fit to run the empire he had built, and the one he planned to steal from Alpha. There was no denying that they were intelligent, but they wouldn't know how to run an empire of obedient werewolves and an entire world of mafia. Anna needed to give Adam a son. That was all it took for him to achieve absolute power. For a while, he considered using Ian, but realized that his grandson was more valuable as an ally than as a hostage. That's why hi
Adonis drove up to the green house. There was no one on guard and the house was empty. Suddenly, it was night. Anna entered the house and hugged herself. It was cold inside. She turned to Adonis, who was staring at her with a dark look on his face. “Do whatever you have to do, Adonis. I can't wait to see Jenna free.” In a second he was standing in front of her and running his fingers slowly down her arms. “I've dreamed of this day, Anna.” “Please, Adonis. I don't want to talk to you!” She said impatiently. What did he want? A romance? He grabbed her by the buttocks and made her lie on the table, lifted up her dress and then ripped off her panties. Anna closed her eyes, but soon felt his hand squeezing her chin and opened her eyes again. “I want you to look at what's going to come inside you, Anna. Alfa and his husband don't have half the power that I have and I want you to know what it's like to have a real, vigorous man. I'm going to stick my penis in you until
“You shouldn't have done that, Adam. I wanted to take Ian and enjoy his company a bit more, since he doesn't leave your side when he's at home, and when he's not at home, he takes refuge in video games. You robbed me of a chance to spend more time with him.” “I thought that since your priorities had changed, this task would be too costly for you. And on the other hand, Ian was anxious, both to buy the presents and to deliver them.” Anna noticed Adam's meticulous attempt to get her to argue with him, insinuating that she wasn't a good mother. So she calmed down, refusing to play his game and be openly manipulated. And besides, she was anxious about Jenna's situation. She didn't want to upset herself any further. “And how did it go there? How's your prisoner?” Adam asked after a while, when he saw that Anna wasn't going to insist on the subject of Ian. “She's not very well. I finished with her.” “That surprises me. You were so creative... To use everything you've taken, I t
