Lucian's Pov“And the truth is, I don't have any idea of anyone who is behind this. Although Alexander is alive, Naomi had told me, but I am not sure if he is the one. Well, he is known to be around dangerous people,” I said. “Who is Alexander?,” Drek asked, as curiosity piqued.It felt like he was hearing the name for the first time. Who doesn't know Alexander in this century? I asked as I looked back at Drek who sat close to me. “You meant Alexander Forkado?,” Drek said as he turned to me.“Yes, Alexander Forkado, the famous drug lord,” I repeated as we both exchanged glances. “How on earth are you connected to Alexander? He is a very dangerous man,” Drek said as his eyes widened.“He sold Naomi to me, he wants to take something dear to me, which I can't give or, better still, he obviously won't get,” I said. “I promise that I'm going to deal with him. If he claims that he is smart, I'll make sure I make him understand that I am smarter,” I said as I hit my fist on the table.“
Naomi's Pov The truth remained that Lucian was killing me slowly, since he had started acting this way, he wasn't giving me a chance to talk to him and neither was he telling me the truth. I had sobbed on my bed for several hours, as my heart had begun to ache badly. I didn't know what else to do. I had told Deluna not to bother coming again, but to be honest, everything I did was to make sure that Lucian was safe. Furthermore, I sat on the bed as I continued to sob silently. I wished Lucian was going to listen to me, but it was not just working. The truth was that I was fed up, and if there was anyone who was hurting me at the moment, it wasn't Alexander but Lucian. As I said on the bed, I wiped my tears slowly and swallowed my saliva, trying to ease my aching heart. I sighed, closing my eyes for a few seconds before standing up. I walked slowly to the drawer, and sat on the chair opposite the mirror. I stared at the reflection of myself in the mirror and saw how battered I
Alexander Pov“You must have seen the look on his face when he looked at my face,” I said as I smiled, turning to Madonna.“I clearly saw it too,” Madonna said as she laughed out loud, opening her legs for me to see through.“I'm going to catch him, just like the way, I'm going to hold this right now,” I said as I moved my hands beneath her through her dress.Oh my god, she wasn't even wearing her panties, I smiled.Madonna was just too loose as my hands had gone into her smoothly without any break.“You are wet already, Madonna,” I said, turning to her with a smile.I withdrew my fingers and then put them in my mouth to have a taste of what I had been touching.“Yes, I am,” she said as she pulled up her dress again, making me have a view of the whole thing.“You amaze me all the time, Madonna, don't tell me, you want us to have it here in the car,” I said, with a high note smiling at her.“Of course, I do. I can have it here at any time, it doesn't matter,” she replied, moving closer
Lucian's PovThis was the part of me that began to feel like a looser, it was a part that I hated. Just when I had decided to tell her everything, I just couldn't understand Naomi anymore. I had started to remember the words of Drek, and it felt like I had made a big mistake, but the truth remains that I was only trying to protect her.And now, I had just seen Alexander Forkado clearly after several months. The truth was, I knew Alexander could not get close to me, but I knew there were high chances that he would want to get to me through Naomi.It was so obvious that Naomi would not be able to fight for herself against Alexander. He was powerful, and he had a lot of bad and dangerous people around him.If there was anything, I needed to warn Naomi to be careful, and just stay in the house for the moment. I knew how dangerous Alexander was. His next move couldn't be predicted.In short, I knew Naomi too well. We had always spoken in the mansion. She would have just told me that she d
Naomi's PovThe last thing I could remember was me taking a sip of the tea that Deluna had prepared. She handed the cup of tea to me several hours ago. As my eyes opened slowly, I could feel a slight pain in my head. Everything seemed blurry at first, I then lifted my head slowly as I looked around. It was Deluna's house.I held my head a bit as I tried to remind myself of all that had happened. I couldn't remember everything though. Just as I sat upright on the bed and looked around, the familiar bottles and potions were still on the shelves carefully placed by Deluna.I looked around and noticed some new bottles that were kept desperately on a new shelf that I hadn't noticed the last time that I was at her house. Just as I was about to put my legs off bed, I heard the beep of a phone close to me, just like a message had just popped in. I looked around, trying to see whose phone had beeped earlier. As I turned to the direction where I had heard the sound earlier, my eyes came in co
Naomi's PovThis was really strange for the reasons that I didn't give my mobile number to anyone, and I wasn't sure anyone in the mansion had my number except for Lucian and Emma.Deluna and I exchanged glances as she nodded her head, encouraging me to answer the call. I stared at the screen again.The room was filled with the sound of the phone. I was still skeptical. I didn't know if I needed to go ahead to answer the call or just decline the call. I hesitated for some moments. I fought with my thoughts. Just as I was about to answer the call, the phone's persistent loud ringtone stopped, and the room was silent again.“Why didn't you answer the call ?,” Deluna asked as she looked at me, her eyes filled with questions.“I don't know, it's a strange number, I just couldn't answer it,” I replied.“That could be someone you know, you should have just answered the call first,” she responded.I sighed as I looked at her. I just didn't know what to say again. With all being said, I had
Alexander PovAfter my arrival at my underground cage, I needed to take some rest and I had to instruct my subjects to make sure everything was intact. We have a bidding to do tomorrow for some of the girls. I had instructed that the girls be treated nicely just for the night at least.“You were given a simple task to do, and then you just messed everything up. " I think it's high time I started replacing every one of you, one after the other, cause it seemed like you aren't useful any longer,” I yelled as I hit some of my workers.“We are really sorry,” the workers said as they knelt down to plead for mercy.“Madonna, I had expected you to put everything in order all by yourself, even if some of them acted this way” I looked at Madonna as she buried her head in embarrassment. “I'm sorry, I was too carried away by the activities of the day, that I forgot to carry out your order,” Madonna replied. I rebuked them one by one, knowing they wouldn't execute my instructions flawlessly wit
Alexanders Pov“You don't mean this Madonna,” I asked as I stared at her. I didn't know if I needed to jump, scream or shout out loud, but of course I couldn't forget that I was unclad, and I couldn't do all of that.I then turned to Laura, who sat on a chair at the end of the room. “You need to look more attractive to men. " You should smile, Laura, there are buyers waiting to see your captivating beauty outside,” I said. I stared at her and I could notice a smile etched on her lips.Change their clothes to something more sexy and attractive, I pointed to Laura and another beautiful girl.Madonna looked at the other girl I had pointed to as she tried to figure out who it was.“Oh Sophia,” you should count yourself lucky today. The boss had specifically pointed out that you both must look beautiful and attractive for tonight.Madonna moved close to Sophia and held her hands before taking Laura as well out of the room.“Oh, what are you all standing here doing,” I yelled at the remai
Naomi's PovLucian had gotten a call from Bruno's brother the next day, and he had accepted that they would give Bruno a befitting funeral, which Lucian had started making arrangements for. He had told his brother to inform their families and friends, including the people that Bruno had worked for. Lucian made sure that he had chosen one of the best cemeteries in the country, and had made sure he was able to buy a building solely dedicated to Bruno for being a hero and saving his life.As Lucian did this, it seemed like he felt a form of unease wash away, and he was able to breathe again. Before this time, he had always felt a pang of guilt and anything he slept. He had always seen Bruno in the dark pleading to him for help, but there was absolutely nothing that Lucian couldn't save him any longer. At times, Lucian told me that there were cases where he had forgotten that Bruno was dead.To fulfill his promise, Lucian made sure that he did everything possible to give Bruno a befittin
Lucian's PovTravis and I had sat down in the sitting room as we talked about the fact that Bruno's brother had started searching for him.He only knew that his brother imported goods from other countries, but they didn't know who exactly he worked for. He had noticed that his brother hadn't been picking up his calls for days, and he decided to search for him.Travis explained that his brother had sat at the building where Bruno used to work to look for him and search around to see if anyone knew the whereabouts of Bruno.He wasn't aware of everything that had happened that night, but he knew that something bad had happened to Bruno.I couldn't hide my sounds as I stared at Travis. I didn't know if it was right to just go ahead and inform him that Bruno was dead, but I didn't know if that was the best thing to do. I didn't know how his brother was going to receive the news, but it wouldn't be nice to watch him all day coming to the building to search for Bruno, even though we knew tha
Alexander Pov“I hope you had a nice time with your sister,” I asked, staring at Laura, who sat in one of the guest rooms.Just as I had instructed Madonna not to take her back to the cages, she needed to be fed well and cleaned well, so that in the coming days she would still look presentable to the buyer. “Yes, I did,” she responded as a tear escaped her eyes. “So why then do you still cry ?,” I asked as I moved closer to her. “I do not want to be sold anymore, I just want to be with my sister,” Laura said as she knelt down beside me. “What's all of this, you do not dictate if you are being sold or not. " I decided that, and nothing or no one counters my word. " There's nothing you can do about it, Laura, you can't change a thing, like I said, but you are here to fetch me some handsome money”, I responded as I stared at her.“I beg you, she is scared, she doesn't want me to leave,” she said as she pleaded for mercy.“I think I made the mistake of making you see her the other nig
Naomi PovLucian opened his eyes slowly as he stared around. He had another nightmare. This had been Constance ever since he got back that night. He had always seen Bruno whenever he slept in pain, crying out to me to help him, but every time he tried to help him, he just disappeared into the air. He sat up on the bed and stared around the room. It was morning again, but I could see how he couldn't stop thinking about all that had happened two days ago. It felt like it was real every time he thought about it.Travis knocked on the door as he walked into Lucian's room, where I stood close to him. He bowed his head as he greeted him before moving close to Lucian. “How are you feeling today master,” Travis asked with a smile on his lips.“I am very much better, thank Travis,” Lucian said, smiling at him. “I am glad you are getting better, sir,” he said with a smile on his face.“What about Marcus?” I asked, turning to him. “Marcus is good too, it's just that he is still a bit too we
Alexander's PovMadonna climbed up the stage majestically as she swayed her waist, seductively revealing her butts to the crowd. She then handed the documents to me on stage.I smiled, looking at Madonna. She must have thought that she was part of the girls that wanted to be sold off tonight,However, I knew her too well. She was indirectly scanning the room for a potential customer that would go down with her after the auction this morning. I grabbed the documents and lifted them up, showing the entire people in the crowd how authentic my document was.They all cheered on as they began to clap their hands loudly, no jokes. They were enjoying it all.I returned my gaze to the buyers again as I smiled, “This document, you should go through it, and sign under the category that you have fallen under,” I said, smiling widely.One of my subjects collected it from me and handed it to the man who wanted to buy Laura and Naomi for thirty million dollars.As soon as he was given the document
Lucian's PovAccording to what Naomi had told me, she had revealed that Travis had struggled to carry me on his back and as soon as he got to the bedroom, he dropped on the bed. Naomi also explained that she was in my room searching for some things when Travis dropped me on the bed. I knew she must have run quickly and held one so tight.It was exactly two hours since I was unconscious. I still laid on the bed without moving my body. Suddenly, I opened my eyes, and screamed out loud as I raised my head.I wasn’t in a coma, but I had still not slept like that for years, and it felt like as soon as my eyes opened, there was something that changed inside of me.My eyes darted around the room and began to pant out loudly. This was exactly when I literally saw the faces of the people that were around me. Most likely, I was able to recognize Travis and Naomi. “You should calm down Lucian,” Naomi said as she moved closer to me.Although I couldn't hear them well, it seemed like I was begin
Naomi's PovI had literally witnessed this every second till the break of the day as I stared at the clock in my room not able to get some sleep through the night. I was worried and I couldn't hide it.I was worried that something bad might happen to Lucian. I was worried that I didn't know what more Lucian was hiding from me. I was worried that Lucian still hadn't healed, and it was obviously a sign of danger.Furthermore, I rolled from one end of the bed to the other part as I tried to sway away the thoughts and get some sleep, but it wasn't just working.Not only that, but I wish I had gone along with them. It had been several hours since they had left the house, but there was no sign of their return. I had walked closer to the glass window in my room several times when I heard the horn of a car around.I had also been calling them several times, but they were not answering their calls. I had wondered how important the issue was that had left them not answering their calls. I had
Lucian PovThe man didn't speak a lot, it was just a few words. Although, I wasn't able to hear it clearly, However, I staggered and the next thing I saw was the man opening the door for Travis and me to get in.Well, I honestly should have been skeptical about the place, but I wasn't. It was just a relatable moment that someone knew there was nothing you could possibly do for yourself. At that point, anything was going to be accepted.As I walked into the room, I noticed that it wasn't just a room, it was something unexpected, just like the frontal view of the building looked ancient, but the inside of the house was a totally different thing.It was different. I couldn't describe it, but was confidently sure that it was different. I could still see even when my eyes seemed blurred at the moment. I also knew it was the effect of the poison that had caused me not to see well.I lifted my hands, as I tried to rest on some of the things around the room so that I would not fall off.I had
Alexanders PovWhat kind of game was this, who was playing games with whom ? I muttered silently as I looked at the man.“Who did you say you want?” I asked as I took a step closer, trying to hear the name he was going to call out again. “I want Naomi Stevens,” he pleaded as he smiled. The people in the crowd stared at me as they wondered what they were trying to say. They had all expected me to go in and get Naomi Steven. I stepped closer, scrutinizing the man. Naomi Steven had been sold to Lucian's Vlod; it was impossible for her to appear here.Yet, my gaze lingered on Laura, standing on the stage, her heart racing. This was a bad day, made worse by this crackpot's claim."I don't understand," I said, my voice firm. "What do you mean?"The man's expression turned serious, his tone aggressive. "You're not listening. Did you not see the records of her sale months ago?"I narrowed my eyes."I'm not blind. " I saw it clearly, the man said as he turned and let out a bark of laughter
