CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

GABRIELLE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, I got my cellphone. Anya had presented it to me as Lucian had promised. He hadn't come to my room last night until it was very late and had disappeared before I woke up.

The only person I called was mother, hearing the sound of her voice gave me slight reassurance, we talked for some minutes, she made mention of father and Phoebe who had resumed her private dance classes, I could only listen quietly. Don't get me wrong, I was still very much mad at both of them for my present situation, but I could hear the loneliness in my mother's voice, for that, I was willing to listen to anything she wanted to talk about.

The moment the call ended, I exited the room.

I was feeling very uneasy. The feeling had been there ever since Lucian made mention of the cameras.

I had checked around yesterday and even but didn't find any. Maybe they were just too tiny or very well hidden to b

    CHAPTER THIRTY-THREEGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The rest of the day went by in a blur, Lucian left after dinner. He told me that he still had some work left to be done. I left Loretta and took a stroll in the garden which had become my favorite spot outside the mansion, but this time, I wasn't here to for the peace I usually get from the fragrances of flowers. I was here to meet Anya. After checking around, I concluded that this would be the safest place around the house. He was just one of my father's men, why would Lucian carry out such a detailed background check on him? Devin had brought that report file just before I entered, that was something that reassured me that he wasn't dead. I stared at my phone screen, unable to fathom the numerous questions running through my mind. Why was Derek's last name here different? The Identity photo in this file looked like it had been taken a long time ago, perhaps even before I met h

He muttered.I forced a faint smile, praying that my features give nothing away of the panic I felt inside, didn't he say he had some work to attend? why was he searching for me only after such a short time?"You said you'd be busy, so I came here, I really like it here."At least I didn't have to lie about that, the flowers and the atmosphere reminded me so much of home."I knew you appreciate flowers, this place has already been yours for years, waiting for you, and here you are." The corners of his lips lifted lig

    CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVEGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~He didn't stop until he brought us to the bedroom.The moment my body hits against the mattress, he pushed my dress off in a fluid motion. The raw lust in his gaze made him seem like a wild sex beast that was set to ravish his preyI told myself that this was probably the last time he would ever touch me, I would be free tomorrow and would never get to be branded by his possessiveness ever again. This last time, I would surely be able to bear whatever he planned for me. He was impatient as he easily tore through my bra. He slapped against my ass cheek through the thin fabric materials of my panties and I jumped from the sudden hit.I didn't get a chance to massage the hurtful spot when he yanked off the sheer fabric with a tug.He slapped my butt again, harder this time and I was unable to control my shriek at the sharp stinging sensation on my ass.

    CHAPTER THIRTY SIXGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I tiptoed quietly in the dark house. My heart leaped to my throat when I heard the sound of the opening and closing of a door. I went still, I didn't so as much as to take a breath. If Lucian had already realized my absence, then everything was over. I would never be able to leave. I craned my neck to see who it was. From my spot, I saw a figure, when the person advanced closer, I realized that it was Fred. My brows furrowed in confusion, what could he be doing inside the mansion so early in the morning?He looked around as though he was fearful of being caught. I shifted my eyes in the direction of where he had just come out from. Loretta's room. How could he be inside her room? What was he... My thoughts were blown off when my cell phone vibrated silently. Anya was still waiting.Pushing every thought aside, I hurried towards the main door. To m

    CHAPTER THIRTY SEVENGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~His eyes were like sharp daggers stabbing straight at us. My body shuddered involuntarily, I was more afraid of the murderous look in his eyes than the fact that there was a gun pressed against my throat."Let her go. And get off the van." He ordered calmly. I could see Fred and several other of his men behind him and dread pooled in the pit of my stomach. Whichever way this was going, I knew it wouldn't end well for me. It was either I got killed by Anya, or Lucian would do it himself. The dark glint in his eyes as he stared at us surely told me that dying by his hands would be a million times painful."I'm not that stupid," Anya spoke, shoving the gun further into my skin, her finger tightened even more as she met Lucian's frosty stare. "Open the gates! And order them to leave, or I'm going to kill her!"My eyes unblinkingly stared into Lucian's piercing ones. They portrayed on

    CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHTGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~It turned out to be Devin instead of Lucian. Anya's eyes were focused on me as she spoke over the phone. She was saying that if Lucian wants his precious little wife back, he should be ready to meet at the airport with Derek or she was going to kill me. A small part of me didn't believe that this was really happening to me. How did everything change so suddenly? I was so crushed and I hadn't even seen the storm coming. Everything I believed in turned out to be a lie and the biggest betrayal. Derek had never given me any cause to think he was anything but a kind and loving boyfriend. All I wanted right now was to wallow in my misery but this wasn't the right time nor situation for it.I was currently tied up with a gun aimed at my head. The call came to an end. Whatever had been Devin's response seemed to have made Anya satisfied. She turned her full attention on me, w

    CHAPTER THIRTY NINEGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~He suddenly produced a wicked-looking blade and for a second, I just stare at him paralyzed by fear. Then, I started to back away slowly, keeping my eyes locked with his. There wasn't enough space to move inside the car and soon enough, my back was pressed against the very edge of the seat and windows. In the next flash of moment, stern hands suddenly gripped my shoulders and I screamed and started to struggle. One of his palmed cupped my face in an almost delicate manner but I wasn't fooled."Don't move." His voice was deceptively gentle, his face was an expressionless mask, but I could feel the rage simmering quietly underneath. I expected the knife to go through me but he only used it to cut off the ropes from my wrists. His face was close to mine, I could see the slight flare of his nostrils as he inhaled. "L...Lucian..." My voice cracked, I didn't know what to say but w

I wasn't a person who trusted easily, being skeptical about almost everything was a trait I had inherited for as long as I could remember. And while I hadn't fully believed her, a huge part of me had hoped...Even when I shouldn't. When I had often fantasized about her all those years, it hadn't involved me harming her, I wanted her and thought she would be the only person who would ever understand me...who would love me. And even though I didn't understand what the feeling meant, I knew I wanted it from her.Why did she have to think of that bastard all of the time!I inhaled sharply, trying to

It was the best fucking place to be. Not until the sound of low whimpers which soon transformed into full-blown cries reached my ears. It seemed Brie heard it as well as her eyes fluttered open almost immediately."I'll get her baby, you stay in bed." I kissed her forehead, kicking the blankets off my body as I walked right to the crib only a few feet away.There she was.Our precious Jasmine. The name suited her just right. She was the only perfect and innocent thing I had a hand in creating. Her eyes were shiny with tears, her little face was red from all the crying as I gently picked her up and her pink blanket.

I was pleading with him not to leave me while holding on to him."I won't." He murmured in my ears and it dawned in my brain, Lucian had never spoken in my dreams before..."Brie, open your eyes!"Suddenly, the grip I had onto him felt too physical, all too real. With a gasp, my eyes popped open, and then I saw him.Lucian!I froze. Staring at him, my heart pounding hard and loud against my rib cage.He was sitting beside me, looking very much awake and vital. This had to be one of my many dreams, or my head was playing cruel games with me.I blinked twice, my vision dimmed and cleared but he was still here, staring at me. A bandage was wrapped across his head, he looked slightly pale but his grey eyes ha

Mom told me that she was only confused and grieving at this stage of her life, and it was easier for her to just put the blame on another person but I had also been thinking about it every single night and hated to admit that if I had allowed Lucian to kill Derek back then, he would have been beside me right now.Words could express how much I miss him and it hurts so much.I finished arranging the flowers and walked to join Loretta and Devin."Anyone could have done that, why do yo

Devin spoke.There wasn't much time to think but the last thing I wanted was for Vladimir to use my sister as leverage against us, or worse, she could end up injured or dead.I met Loretta's panicked gaze, she shouldn't be going through this all over again. I doubted she would ever forget this event and had never been so thankful that I had found out Brie just in time and sent her home.A mixture of rage and panic filled me as I suddenly thought if I didn't make it out of here, I would never get to see Brie ever again, never hold our baby in my arms.No!All the more reason I had to get out of

Tension was building its root inside of me until I felt like I would burst from it all.I inhaled deeply closing my eyes, there was no option left but to believe Lucian and wait for him to return unharmed."What the..." The startling sound left my mouth when the car suddenly screeched to a halt.My head spun to meet Devin's grave expression and knew instantly that something was wrong, I was almost terrified to ask."What happened? What's going on?"Devin stared at me, his expression filled with urgency and uncertainty. "One of our men reported to have spotted Vladimir, why would he arrive in New York all of a sudden?"Vladimir Petrov? Why would Lucian's rival be here, dad and Vladimir were part

I said, his reaction was immediate."No, you are staying here" He asserted, frowning.I had only an hour to reach the location Derek had given to me. I was to come alone or he promised to kill everyone I cared about.Derek seemed to have lost it, I was scared for Lucian's safety and my family's as well. I wanted to meet Derek, maybe I could make him change his mind, things don't have to end tragically between us."If he doesn't see me, he's going to kill them! We can't risk it, Lucian!" I urged as he yelled something to Devin about preparing the car. I started to speak again when he grabbed my arm, tilting my chin to meet his gaze."I'm not about to use you and our baby as bait!" He glares at me. "You are going to sit your pretty ass down here while I go get the job done! I will be back in an hour and I promise you that nothi

I started, but he was already gone, I watched anxiously as he blended with the slight crowd.What was that sound all about? Why was Derek here? Was Loretta alright?I was too nervous to standby and wait any longer, I hurried after him, and at the same time, I could hear the sound of sirens.I finally found Devin, he said the first thing I noticed was the bloodstain on his hand which spiked my anxiety, I looked behind him but there was no sign of Loretta, nor Fred."What happened? Where are they?" I barely finished talking when my eyes fell on the paramedics walking out with a stretcher, I couldn't tear my eyes away, not even a blink. The person lying unconscious was Fred. Was he dead?god no!Without a word, Devin grabbed my arm, hurrying us out of the mall and more security that wer

    CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~For the next few hours, I was anxious. I called mom from time to time but there was no positive update, how could my father and Phoebe just disappear without a trace.Mom spoke that Phoebe had gone for her dancing classes but had sneaked away from the men that were supposed to protect her. This wasn't the first time she had done that, only this time, she never returned home. As for dad, his assistant said that he had insisted on leaving alone after receiving an urgent call.I couldn't help the worry that gnawed my insides, we weren't close but they were still family after all. I only prayed that they were alright where they are.I thought about telling Lucian but quickly decided against it. What if it wasn't anything serious? My mother had always worried about the slightest things. Who knew, Phoebe might be having a hangover after partying hard, she might be at one of her friends' places. Then what ab

    CHAPTER SEVENTYGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~That evening, we lay down together, and Lucian switched off the light, enclosing us in the darkness. I was lying on my sides when he pulled me closer to him so my head is pillowed on his chest.He appeared to be in deep thoughts and this was one of those times when I would give anything to read through his mind. Draping a hand across his ribcage, I closed my eyes, even though I was not feeling sleepy."There's something about me that you need to know, I probably should have told you sooner..." His voice was barely audible, his warm breath tickling the side of my cheek made my eyes flutter open. I lifted my chin to meet his stare. His tone and stare held every bit of seriousness and my heart was suddenly hammering in my chest, my mind thinking of all the possibilities that could make him be this serious."My mother was the daughter of one of the men in my father's organization, t
