ARIANA'S POVI'm about to open my mouth to say something when Clara suddenly steps in in a very sharp boss lady mode walking towards us at full speed. I can tell she must have heard what has been going on and his extremely as infuriated as I am." I don't think I can bear any more of this. I think this has to end. How can you just walk into my client's home and begin to act like you are the boss of something? Get up from here if you don't want me to invoke the power of the law against you," she says. I look at her with wide eyes. "Oh my goodness, I never knew she had this in her. What exactly is she going to do?" I think to myself."And then what exactly do you plan on doing?" he asks. it was then that I realized that everything we do is just going to be useless. There's nothing we can do against him and he's just going to get the way with whatever pit we put him into. she finally sighs and shuts her eyes. "Okay fine, good lord, great, okay fine, can you please just let it go?" she
ARIANA'S POVI am completely infuriated. I don't even know what else to do or what to think right now. My current state is that position in which when someone is in it, the person feels like he or she should just pull his or her hair and tear it apart. I can't even begin to explain. I am just.....God. I want to grip his neck and tear him into a million pieces. I rake my fingers through my head and then shut my eyes, trying to take in a deep breath. My pulse is racing, and my heart is pounding so fast I can feel my veins throbbing within my skin as I clench my fists together and finally open my eyes to look at him. It is so hard. I don't even know what to say or what to do anymore. I just know that it's going to be impossible to go against him. God, he is relentless. This is just useless trying to have any sort of argument with him. I guess I will just have to let it go. I finally look at him and then sigh before folding my arms. I finally give up. I don't think I can continue with t
ARIANA'S POVI scoff and turn around with frustration running my fingers through my hair as I begin to move away from him, pacing about frustratedly, 'Why the hell would you just listen to me and accept my demands for once? Why are you trying so hard to be fucking in control of my life? What do you want from me? What is it? Why are you trying to make my life a living hell?' I groan with frustration. "Ariana," Clara calls and then I turn to her with a furious gaze. She smiles softly and gives me a signal, "' Just go with him, Ariana. Everything is going to be okay. I'm going to take my time to attend to the other matters concerning the other deals we got, and then I will get back to you and join you in no time,' she says, and her hand gestures and expression she is giving me give me an idea of what she is planning to do. I smile to myself in my head and then sigh softly before thinking deeply about what she intends to do. It's a great idea anyway, I nod my head softly and gaze at
ARIANA'S POVThis is the side of him I have always hated. Whenever he gets to that, he loses control. I mean absolute maximum control. He becomes a beast, and if the matter continues to be hidden away from him, he will become a vicious monster capable of ripping someone's head off. So yes, when I say that, I am scared about this particular issue, I am.I sprint down the staircase and get to the end of it, when I notice that he is standing by a part of the wall in the sitting room, looking at a picture. I frown and slowly get to the last stairs, walking calmly towards him, trying not to make a noise when I discover with horror the picture he is looking at, "Oh Jesus Lord," I think to myself and then bite my lower lip nervously. Oh geez, I didn't think about this. The fact that he came into this apartment is what is making this hard right now. If I had just known that he was going to come here, I would have made necessary preparations and taken down things like this, such as this impl
ARIANA'S POVI step out of the building with so much frustration in my mind and then stop when I notice his car standing beside my car in the driveway. I clench my fist furiously and then shake my head. The fact that he has so much audacity to move around and do things in my compound as he wishes. How the hell does he even have the passcode to my gates? My gate is not just any ordinary gate. That's why I don't have security. I have embedded the entire building and the gates with high-class security. No one can easily get in without having a specific code, which I and Clara only know about. How the hell did he even get in? "I don't even want to think about it," I think to myself as I place my palm against my face.I turn around to the door, noticing that he hasn't stepped out. "What the hell?" I think to myself, furiously walking back towards the door. I step in and see him still standing before the picture, looking at it with maximum attention. "Is he seriously kidding me right now
ARIANA'S POVI already know how smart and sharp and intelligent he is so definitely, in his mind he probably already knows what is going on and what me and I are planning and the fact that he heard Liam's voice last night is what is just going to make the entire suspicion so hard he won't be able to let go of it. I finally shut my eyes and took a deep breath before relaxing back against the seat and folding my arms. "Go ahead." he then chuckles and then rubs his chin."I don't want to pressure you much about this but you and your friend have been prolonging it. Trust me this issue would have been sorted out yesterday but you both just decided to make things worse," he says and then I clench my eyelids together knowing what is about to come.. the fact that he is not giving up about this is just totally annoying."Can you be clear about this and explain to me about the voice I had yesterday upstairs while I was discussing with you ?" he asks and then I gulp visibly clenching my fists
ARIANA'S POVGod, I would need your help right now. This is the worst situation one can ever think of ever encountering in his or her life. I can't feel myself my senses are completely jumbled and so scrambled in so many ways I feel like I am losing to the devil gradually. Oh goodness me. what the hell has he done to me? the fact that I am struggling with every ounce of my power to get out of this loop is just so unnerving the fact that he's attempting to use my weakness against me is fucking annoying. god, he is gradually taking control over me. He is gradually taking absolute control over my senses. I need to contain myself and resist this. why is it just so fucking hard? I don't know when I angle my back and then shiver to his torch as I take hold of his hand gripping so hard against it struggling with every ounce of my power to resist. Oh fuck. it is just so freaking hard. This is how it has always been in the past. this is how he has always managed to manipulate me and get
ARIANA'S POVHe caresses my bare breasts within my bra and I know I am finished. there is no way I can escape this. "oh good God," I mutter as he slips his right hand in taking hold of my right breast and twisting my nipple. Fuck. I struggle so hard and push him away from his position. he laughs uncontrollably I find myself panting so hard and struggling to catch my breath while he relaxes back against his seat laughing in an annoying manner that makes me know he is just doing all this on purpose just to get to me.God, I hate that he is so good at whatever he does. I hate that he has the power and the ability to mess with me anyhow he wants and just walk away as though he has done the right thing. he chuckles softly and then rakes his fingers through his hair leaning his head against his seat as he looks ahead of him. I on the other hand am relaxed in my seat with my arms folded after buttoning up my shirt, turning my head towards the direction of the window. God this is so so
Vincent's POV The sight before me gets straight into my nerves, making me feel unsettled. My breathing becomes so hoarse as if I am struggling to catch my breath. As if I have something stuck in my throat. But it is evidence that it is the fury that is already tearing through my body. God knows that if he as much as attempts to touch a single hair on that little boy's body, I am not going to spare even his bones. I shut my eyes and take a deep breath. Is at this point that I feel extremely powerless in ways that I never intended to feel. I can't let him do anything to that boy. The boy whom I just discovered a few days ago is my son. The son I have had for seven years without even knowing. This son I never grew up with. The son I never raised. All these endless, frustrating thoughts are making my anger increase exponentially deep down with me, but I'm struggling to keep my coal. Releasing my fury right now is not going to make every meeting get better. It's only going to mak
Vincent's POV I know that I shouldn't trust their judgment. These people who are with me right now, presently the most notorious criminals in the city, will have to present with the tactics they used to secure this attack. I will have to think wisely because whatever action I want to partake in. I cannot lose my guard and allow them to overpower me because of any stupidity of any sort. I continue to point the gun at the mafia who was previously holding me as he begins to lead me toward the place where they said my son had been kept. The man whom I had already suspected to be their boss was also leading the way ahead of him together with Fiona and another of his bodyguards who had been attempting to apprehend me all the while. The look Fiona is giving me let me know that she still has other tricks and tactics up her slave but I am not going to fall for it anymore. I am also going to show that I have my tricks stuck up in my sack of plans for all of them. They have no idea the e
Vincent's POVBang!!!!!The very loud, powerful, vibrating sound of a gunshot echoes loudly in my ears, almost making my ear drums blackout as I immediately sit up on the ground, placing my hand against my ear. That was so freaking loud. It felt as if my eardrums were about to explode. Who the hell had to guts to do that? I manage to lift my head and look at my surroundings while still placing my hand against my ear as if it could reduce the pain I am feeling. The images around me are a little bit blurry, and this makes me squint my eyelids for a little while, trying to process what I am looking at. "Welcome back to the land of the living Mr Vincent." A voice speaks up, and after a few minutes, the images are now a little bit clearer directly in front of me. The first image I see makes me frown immediately as I raise an eyebrow with shock not believing what I am looking at right now. "Flora?" I find myself saying softly but then she just rolls her eyes and looks away while scof
Ariana's POV I feel like a needle has just been pierced into my ears. What the hell... I don't understand.I don't get it. I look at him with excessive shock in my eyes and then squeeze my eyelids, my brain trying to process what I just heard.I must be in some sort of dream, right? He must have noticed my expression because he chuckles and then shakes his head before gazing down at the ground."I know this must be so hard for you to process because, well, anyone listening to this will think it's a very, very dumb idea, but I can assure you that it's the best thing to do. I am the only one that has the capability of helping you right now, Ariana, and what you just have to do is give me what I want."I shake my head with frustration." Okay, so can I ask a question." I request and he gestures towards me as if offering me the podium. "Yes of course. The floor is yours. Ask away. What do you want to know?" " Why do you want me to marry you?""Because Ariana, at this point, my min
Ariana's POV I know he has assured me that everything is going to be fine and I should relax and not let it get to my head.But God I can't help it. I seriously can't. I am 100% impatient as I continue to pace back and forth in endless stances all over every section and every nook and cranny of the large sitting room while Clara remains seated on the sofa with her legs also trembling, looking at me with a worried expression on her face."You have to calm down, Ariana, okay? worrying yourself this much is not going to make the situation even better." She says, but then I turn my face to look at her and watch as she immediately shuts her mouth, gazing at the ground."I am sorry. I shouldn't have said that" she replies immediately, and I can tell she is feeling extreme guilt for actually losing Liam when he was directly under her watch. But the Lord knows I can't blame her. I wasn't expecting her to be so strong enough to overpower powerful-looking strong kidnappers like that.I just
Vincent's POV What I am doing right now is extremely stupid, but call me crazy; I cannot let this type of situation just pass me by; this is my son we are talking about, so I am going to follow this marker to the last drop and ensure that everything goes the way it should.I and the officers are precisely stepping into an unknown territory, with our eyes all around us, trying to observe the surroundings and figure out any potential threat that may come out from nowhere.As per the phone call Ariana received, and the information we were able to gather from tracing the call, this is where the location came from. And we are all scrutinizing every way deeply, trying to figure out any single slight suspicion that might give us what we are looking for.The police officers gave me a gun, just in case the threat we are about to meet is much more deadly than we can anticipate. I don't need to be taught how to use it, it is something I am quite familiar with and have been an expert with for a
Ariana's POVHeavens know that I have never been in such heavy turmoil as the one I am right now. The confusion in my senses is extreme. I am not in my right senses as I scratch my fingers endlessly against my hair pacing about the sitting room with Clara following me every step I go to ensure that I don’t delve into the very deep pits of madness. Vincent is not around now, but well, I can’t blame him for not being here. He is just as troubled as I am. He had followed the officers with their investigation to make sure that things didn’t relent and they got to the bottom of this. I know he is going to do everything within his power to ensure that this goes well, even neglecting his own business, but, I can’t help a very strange dark feeling within me that tells me that this is only just the beginning, that this is just a tip of the iceberg and far worse things are about to come. I don’t understand and I don’t get it. Why are they doing this? Why? I keep thinking to myself as I gna
Vincent’s POVThe confusion and the frustration in my mind is beyond what I can comprehend. I am now relaxed back in my office, rubbing my palm through my forehead with a lot of thoughts racing through my mind. Ariana.She is the only person I can think of right now. I had thought that this method of trying to rescue her from her problems would have gotten her to soften towards me. But if not anything, she has gotten worse. I don’t know, I was hoping that maybe her feelings would be rekindled by the extreme sex experience we’ve been having. But she keeps distancing herself away from me even more. I don’t get it. Is she now just sleeping with me to satisfy her sexual needs, or what? I rake my fingers through my hair with frustration and then slam my palms against my table. What the hell am I even doing? Why the hell can’t I just for once stop thinking about her? It is just so hard. And then, there is the thought of that Alex fellow, who seems like he is relentless and bent on ge
Ariana's POVWithin a few minutes, I am back home to see Clara pacing up and down in the living room, looking as though the entire world has descended upon her. I took a deep breath and shut the door quite loudly to grab her attention because it seemed like she didn't notice me stepping in. She jolts and almost loses her footing the moment she hears that as she looks at me, stepping in with wide eyes. Okay, her reaction right now is frightening me because I have never seen Clara look this frightened or paranoid to this extent in my life before. I chuckle and step into the living room, dropping my bag against the sofa. "Never you ever scare me like that," she says loudly and I raise an eyebrow at her." I'm sorry, I had to. You look like you were lost in the world for a while so I felt like bringing back your attention." I say and watch as she chuckles nervously as if... Okay, that laugh looked kind of forced. She didn't have the intention to laugh. Something is wrong with her.
