GABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I regretted the moment my eyes flickered open. The warmth on my skin wasn't coming from the sheets, it was from him.Lucian.My whole body hurt, particularly the juncture between my legs and my wrist.How could he be this cruel?His eyes were shut closed, his chest rose and fell evenly in sleep. Even in slumber, he looked so intimidating.The scar on his chest caught my eyes, now I regretted my indecisiveness. I wished I had killed him that first night.There was another faint scar just above the one I had left, it looked to be from a knife. I couldn't help but think that If whoever it was that stabbed him had succeeded I wouldn't be in this place, I wouldn't be trapped with a ruthless man like him.I tried to shift myself to a sitting position, the sharp sting of pain at the slightest movement made my eyes watered.Maybe he was right, I should accept this fate,

CHAPTER THIRTYGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The doctor arrived almost immediately, he was an elderly man whom I've seen quite a few times in the mansion.He gave some ointment and medicines to help with the pain, he advised not to do any kind of work with it, at least for the next few weeks.I still couldn't believe that Lucian had easily let me off after I had pointed that gun at him.Or maybe he was saving the punishment for later, the thought made me shuddered. I was already battered and bruised enough, my body wouldn't be able to take any more of his torture.I slowly walked towards the dresser and opened it. My eyes fell on the brilliant ring. I took hold of it with shaky fingers.Maybe it was my fault that he always hurt me, if I surrender instead of fighting him, would it be any different?No, I had no other option than to fight. If I stopped, I would be betraying Derek. It sat w

CHAPTER THIRTY ONEGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I squirmed under his penetrating stare, thankfully, I had returned the key to its position when I heard the sound of the door."What are you doing here?" The sound of his voice jolted me slightly, at least he didn't sound or look upset...yet."I..." My frantic brain couldn't think of anything to say.I thought he wasn't supposed to return from his study for at least a few hours. This would probably explain why the door had been kept unlocked, it was because he had planned on returning.His frosty eyes were still staring at me expectantly for an answer, even worse was when he started to approach, each stride as intimidating as that of a feral creature."I...w..wanted..."In four heavy strides, he was in front of me, my legs were too paralyzed to even move an inch, my heart was pounding so hard, my mind and body wouldn't be able to take it if he decided to pu

CHAPTER THIRTY TWOGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~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

CHAPTER THIRTY FOURGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Gabrielle?"Lucian came to view even as I tried to calm my frantic heart.I watched his eyes scan around and prayed silently that Anya was already out of view, his intimidating grey eyes returned to me as he completed the distance between us in long strides."I've been searching for you around the house, I didn't think you would be here." 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 SEVENTY-EIGHTLUCIAN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Months went past, soon it was spring once again, we had lived the past months to the fullest and I could say it was the best of my entire life.I lay in bed fully awake and conscious of my wife's warmth and familiar smell. 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. My protective fatherly instincts

CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVENGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~It started off as another dream. I could see Lucian calling out to me, his lips were moving but I couldn't make out his words. 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

CHAPTER SEVENTY SIXGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I collected fresh flowers from the garden as I had been doing for the past two weeks. Has it been two weeks already since my world fell apart?Yesterday, I had visited the cemetery along with mom, we were all going through a tough phase, Phoebe was still convinced that I was responsible for our father's death, we haven't seen or heard from her after dad's funeral service. 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

CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVELUCIAN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~It was too late, there were already inside the building.Fuck!The cold rational part of my mind registered one thing, there was nowhere to run!They were no doubt searching for us across all the rooms right now!"We need a plan now!" 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

CHAPTER SEVENTY FOURGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I could only seat helplessly as Devin drove us farther away from Lucian.He started to answer a call and I turned away in frustration. 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

CHAPTER SEVENTY THREEGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"You have to take me with you." 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

CHAPTER SEVENTY TWOGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Please wait here! don't go anywhere." Devin told me."But..." 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
