Esmeralda's POVI tried pressing other keys, I tried so hard, I hit it. I tried opening it but nothing was working and when I had the cover opened, I saw that there waa no battery.It was the kind of a burner phone that couldn't be traced, the kind that was mostly seen in movies.I stood there dazed and wondering what next to do. I was confused and worried for my life because he was being so equivocal about everything. He had threatened to harm my family and I knew that it wouldn't even be much of a hard work for him. He was scary and impossible to reason with.He seemed like he was really crazy. He had told his daughter that I would be his mom when I was barely even nineteen. He wanted me to take care of his daughter when I too needed to be taken care of.A cackle came from behind me, it made me jerk and turn around towards the door, almost throwing the phone away in the course of action.It was Frederick. He walked in with his guards, laughing at me and clapping his hands. "Do you
Killian's POVMikel walked in making demands like he owned the place. To be honest I was happy he had come, it gave me the opportunity to question him about Esmeralda's disappearance. Though the prisoner downstairs had told me that he waa a part of Mikel's pack but he was hired by another person, it still didn't mean that I would blindly trust Mikel.For all I know, Mikel might've been the one who hired them. Maybe the prisoner was lying or he had no clue about the person that hired him.I couldn't trust his words. I couldn't trust anyone at the moment. Mikel himself was being too suspicious, so suddenly he came here demanding for the member of his pack. He may be talking about the one chained up but he might also be talking about Izan. But whatever he was actually talking about. There was no way I was allowing him to have his way.Mikel was a total scumbag and there was no trusting him in whatever. He had motives against Esmeralda. He might have had an idea about her, he might have
Mikel's POVTruthfully, I wasn't pleased about what Esmeralda did to me. I already hated the fact that I was mated to her but there was no changing it. I had used her for my own gain, made a joke of her to anyone who wanted to listen just because of my search for the pure blood wolf. When I started feeling a particular sense of animosity for her waa when she came to my house and threatened me. That was the first time she also hit me.Gonzalez had made fun of me, laughing at me that a woman was able to hit me and I did nothing about it. From that moment on, I vowed to make her feel the same sting of pain that I did. When I came to the house to talk to Killian about the pure blood wolf. I saw her, she looked very good. She had always looked very good However, I hated it. I hated that my life was almost miserable but she was living in such bliss. That day she had been sending her mom and her brother away into the car but when I saw her, I couldn't help but actually do something to h
Killian's POV I walked back to the living room. I regretted everything that happened, from treating Esmeralda like she wasn't important to telling Mikel about her. There has never been anything that I regretted more. I was indeed a bad person. A part of me kept telling me that Mikel wasn't the bastard who had her kidnapped but my anger and jealousy I har for him overpowered my rationality. There was no way that he could have Esmeralda kidnapped and still come in the morning like nothing had happened. If indeed he kidnapped her, she was all he needed and getting Izan back wouldn't be important. Or maybe even if he was the one that kidnapped her and he wanted to act like he was innocent then coming back here would be in his plan so as to appear like he knew what he waa doing. Maybe he was here for another reason. No matter the reason I kept giving myself tk make me believe that he really was the one that kidnapped him, I just couldn't believe it. I could've easily used my gift
Killian's POV The sound of her cries were still ringing in my ears even though I was already far away from the room. I couldn't think past the number of people that had died in that raid. I lost money, I lost workers, she made children fatherless and maybe orphans and I was almost killed. My injuries were nothing compared to the grieving of the ones that lost their loved ones. Because of Paula so many people share tears. I couldn't help but blame myself. It all happened because I brought Paula back. I waa the one who opened the door to her, I invited her into my life only for her to destroy it. I couldn't believe that what she did with Izan was a mistake, I couldn't believe she waa trying to help. She knew of the people that died when Mikel attacked and it never occurred to her to come to me to confess, all she did was clear Mikel's name. She hadn't even given me a definite reason why she did it. She only blamed Mikel because he waa just fitting to put the blame on. He wasn't t
Esmeralda's POV My head was aching and my nose was assaulted by the pungent smell of pee. I didn't know if it was the cement or that the cell was just built a few feet away from where the pee was smelling from but whatever it was I hated it. The surface I was laying on wasn't wet and with my head on the surface, I was certain that the smell was not coming from the room but it was from outside. I laid there, I was hungry. I was very hungry. I could guess that I had been laying there all day. My head was aching and my back had turned stiff. I wanted to walk but I was too tired to even stand up. I was too tired to think. My breathing was getting very slow and consciousness was drifting from me. Thoughts of Killian floated into my head. It seemed to be my dying moment and he was the only thing on my mind. In my last hours I still loved him. I couldn't breathe and it was all my fault. If I had decided to leave earlier when Killian told me to, I wouldn't have been here. There was no
Esmeralda's POV I saw the corner of her lips curve upwards in a very satisfying and relaxed smile. It seems like the thought of her father being a monster and kidnapping people was too much for her, it must've been eating her away all these while and she only needed someone to tell her that her father wasn't a bad person. That he wasn't evil, that in fact he was one of the sweetest men that ever existed. "I'm glad," she sighed in relief. I smiled as well and ruffled her hair with my fingers. It gave me a sense of achievement that I could retain the naive love and trust she had for her father. I felt like even though my life was a shit show I was able to provide love and warmth for this little girl. I was happy. And if I was going to die today at Frederick's hand, I was going to die a happy woman for being the reason why this little girl held onto the trust and love she had for her father. "Freya!" A loud voice came from the door. Freya immediately turned around to meet the eyes
Esmeralda's POVI lifted my head surprised and hopeful to hear what Frederick had said.The man was obviously full of surprises. First he surprised me with a ring and what followed was Mikel brought in bleeding and looking like he was run over by a bulldozer.Whennhe said those words about the enemy, I was hoping that maybe the person could be Killian.I looked straight at the window hoping to see even a hint of Killian or any of his guards."You wanna see him?" Frederick's voice suddenly pulled me from the reverie I was in.I almost jumped out of my seat when I heard his voice. The second before, he was standing beside Mikel who was a few feet away from me and suddenly he was beside me, talking by my ear for me to hear him talking.He smiled as our eyes met, "you're not going to wee him, Esmeralda". He said. "He won't come for you?"I frowned, he was lying, I knew he was lying, "what do you mean, who is the enemy Mikel could've probably ked here? Who's the enemy you so much fear?"He
Esmeralda's POV.I had told Killian that I wanted to ride in a convertible and the man went ahead and got the deal done.About twenty minutes after I told him what I wanted, I saw myself in a red convertible, sitting in the passenger seat. The hood of the car was tucked in the back and my hair was caught in the wind and I was laughing hard.After what happened in the hotel room, we both got dressed up. Well, I got dressed up while he watched and when I finished, we went to a boutique to get him some clothes and that was when I told him that I wanted to ride in a convertible.I was caught off guard when we walked out of the boutique and a red convertible was waiting for us and not just that, there were four wrapped up weeds waiting for us in the glove box.He offered them to me along with a lighter.When he gave them to me, I was surprised. He really was listening to me and he really had the contacts for everything and everyone.The minute I took them, I laughed so hard because I found
Camille's POVI had been worried sick ever since Killian brought home my son. He was not healing but he was alive and what was more excruciating for me was that he was in pain.I had never known a time in my life that I had been through such a thing before. I had never seen someone else undergoing this ordeal. It was all too sudden and new to me that I didn't know how to feel, nor what to do.The only emotion I could recognize when I thought things through was worry. I was undeniably worried about my son. I was so worried that I started to doubt if it was a good idea to bring him back. Killian had claimed that he was treating him and from how confident he sounded, he seemed like he knew exactly what he was doing and what was going on.I didn't. The person who even talked me into doing this was nowhere to be seen. I couldn't guess what Paula got from this game of hers. Paula had called me one evening and told me about where Mikel was and how he was fairing. I couldn't have guessed t
Killian's POVI laughed as I watched her laugh. Esmeralda had such a beautiful laugh.Coming to Berlin was impromptu, I was just in a hurry to show her that she was wrong to think life was so simple, that with me, this was the least of things that she would enjoy.Everything was perfect. The night was perfect, when I walked out of the bathroom, when I saw her naked on the bed, she was perfect.On her knees, doing a bad job at sucking me off, she was perfect.Everything felt like a dream, that for once, I get to be happy, I get to accept Esmeralda.What I couldn't stop thinking about was when she said those words to me.When she told me that she loved me. I had been busy staring through the window, looking at the city and how amazing it looked. I was happy that I brought her with me. Berlin was a beautiful place and it was one of my favorite cities and being here with her was perfect.I could've taken her to Paris but I wanted to go to my favorite places with her. I wanted to leave a
Esmeralda's POV I was suddenly overtaken by a sense of panic. I feared what it meant. I had never given it much thought before, I had never wondered what would become of my life since I developed these feelings for Killian. I had never worried much about anything. But now, the thought has succeeded in creeping into me, making my hands shake and my whole body spasm. I was standing in the middle of the room, Killian had excused himself, he wanted to make a call, probably had to do with the surprise that he was planning for the evening. I was left alone with my thoughts. I had never hated being alone, I had never hated being the one left in a whole. I didn't care about the loneliness, I didn't fear my thoughts because I always felt that they were just thoughts and there was nothing more to it. But here I was, overpowered by my thoughts. I kept thinking of what would happen to our lives, I kept thinking about how the trajectory of our lives have been altered. Killian has never men
Esmeralda's POVI bit my lip and realized that those words were dominating and as such, I was expected to be submissive.Killian was punishing me for whatever I might have done. He did mention that he was going to punish me but my brain has forgotten what I could've done because I was more focused on his finger that is buried inside me turning in circles, thrusting in and out in a slow motion.He dropped my leg that he had been holding, then he removed his finger from inside of me. I was disappointed because it wasn't what I wanted but then he took my hands and pulled it thereby lifting my upper body from the bed."You're not a pillow princess so don't act like one". He scolded."What do you want me to do?" I asked him.He guided my hand and placed it on his very hard and big erection. "Work for this".I bit my lip again. My finger grazed over the cap and the precum was waiting for me to feel its thickness.He pulled me closer to himself from my waist and buried his head into my ches
Esmeralda's POVI considered myself already kind of used to the kind of words Killian said and how he acted when he said those words but there was something different at the moment, maybe it was because we weren't in the same country anymore or because he and I had somehow become a couple.When he said those words I started to anticipate the second when we would go back to the hotel and he would take the dress off me. It became what I was ready for. Whatever he had planned for me even though I didn't know what it was at the moment, I lost interest in it. All I wanted for us to do was make our way into our hotel room and he would be pulling the dress off me.I looked around and found out that during the time I was spending standing in a spot trying to fathom just how weirdly those words affected me, Killian was already in the bathroom taking his bath so there was no one but me left to open the door for the person who was knocking.I was skeptical at first because I didn't want to open
Esmeralda's POVI ran my hand over my chest, giving him the sluttiest eyes I could muster."Oh Daddy"Killian almost lost it. He laughed so hard that he suddenly began to cough and meanwhile, k was wheezing beside him, about to lose my mind.We must've been such a pain in the ass of the driver because the second he stopped the car, he was outside holding the door open for me.I alighted the car with a warmth in my heart. I was happy. It was already nightfall and the wind was cold and the lights illuminated the city. It was wonderful. It looked wonderful.Suddenly, some fingers interlocked with mine accompanied by the smell of apples. It was perfect.He was perfect."We should get dinner"."Okay, but I'm still gonna smoke some weed or try molly"."Esmeralda, I don't have the contacts of people that sell".I frowned, "I thought you have the contacts of everyone?"He looked utterly confused, he took his hands back from mine and crossed them as he stared at me."Esmeralda, what could've
Esmeralda's POVStepping on the private jet, I had thought I would surely be so excited that I wouldn't sleep or even try to zone out.I wanted to see through the windows and guess alphabetically where we were going since Killian refused to let me know. Even though he didn't say the exact words, I knew he wanted it to be a surprise. I had a hunch that it would be Paris and if it really was Paris I certainly would be a bit disappointed.Paris was a beautiful city and known as the city of love but it was cliché. Every woman wanted to go to Paris, people went to Paris for honeymoons and all that and it was the spot for romance. I didn't want that. Sure I would love to see Paris one day but not because of a special event or maybe I was invited for a wedding there. If it wasn't the case, the case then I don't think I'd ever want to go there.It just didn't feel magical for me.Killian had no idea about all this. He was busy sipping wine and working on his laptop leaving me to myself. I wa
Esmeralda's POV.The last class of the day was literature. It wasn't a boring class. I loved the fiction and we were about indulging in the magic that Sylvia Path was.We were going to read one of her books and so we woukd be able to read the pieces of herself she left in the world.I had talked to the counselor about the major that was on my mind, she thought psychology was good for me since I had a passion to understand humans and the way they acted.The only issue became the college of my choice. She showed me a list of really good colleges in the country but I tokd her that I already knew where I wanted to go.She didn't seem disappointed to hear that I wanted to go the the states college. She thought it was a good choice and I was going to get accepted.Lucky me, it wasn't a long drive from Killian's house and so it was perfect. I get to continue living with Killian while I go to college.I had no desire to experience this or that, to meet new people or to have the full college e
