CHAPTER SEVEN
GABRIELLE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I remained where I stood, there was no way I would ever go to him, not if I have a choice.
My unwillingness seemed to further infuriate him. He took another intimidating step towards us, his frosty metallic grey eyes never moving an inch away from mine. It happened so fast, Derek pulled out the pistol I didn't know he had been holding, focusing straight at Lucian's forehead."And I say you should back off, tell them all to leave or I will shoot! "He shifted his gaze towards the five of Lucian Castiel's men that had their weapons drawn out towards us.The tension in the air was thick, a butter knife would easily tear through it, my heart was jamming hard against my ribcage.It was six against one.I was scared for Derek as well as myself. It could easily end up badly for us. "Tell them to leave! Or I'll really blow out your brains! " Derek spoke again, aCHAPTER EIGHTIt was painful enough to draw out a scream from my mouth, and much to my mortification and anger, he repeated the action, spanking hard against my other ass cheek.I stilled in my struggles and went stiff against him, he didn't spank me again but the burning pain on my butt lingered. He murmured something in a low tone, but I heard it just fine."Good girl, you're already learning."I've never hated anyone as I did this moment.He took us outside, there were more of his men outside, a few groups of onlookers who watched from a distance away.I doubt any of them would come to my aid, not that they would be able to help me even if they wanted.He led us to where a black limo was waiting.The door was opened by one of the men dressed in a black suit. Lucian put me down for a moment, only to shove me inside the car, he entered seconds later and the door automatically clicked shut."Drive!
CHAPTER NINEGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The journey back was over, the car drove to a halt, and I felt as though my life was ended as well.The door clicked open and Lucian walked out, he was waiting for me to do the same.My legs were glued, I knew what awaited me the moment I would step my feet down."Get down! " He wore an impatient scowl. I obeyed reluctantly, there was no need to delay the inevitable. Strong fingers encircled my arms in an iron grip, I had no choice but to follow behind Lucian as he led us, more like dragged me into the tall building ahead.Mother, father, and my sister were already waiting for us.I avoided my father's gaze, mother's expression was sad, I knew she wished I hadn't been caught. Phoebe was staring at me with an expression that seemed almost like guilt.There were more of our family members present. I couldn't recognize the rest of t
CHAPTER TENLUCIAN CASTIEL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I glanced at my wife, I couldn't contain the feeling of male satisfaction.She was beautiful. No one had ever managed to make my heart swell with this fierce possessiveness.The need to dominate her and claim her as mine was so intense. It made my jaw clench painfully.She looked different today, her face was paperwhite, contrasting her short black hair which I hated so much. Even though she was still as stunning as ever, I still wanted my golden-haired Brie, the one I was familiar with for almost half my entire life.The thought that she had been about to run away with that bastard still consumed me with blinding rage, coupled with the pain that pierced my heart when she had told me she loved him.She couldn't have meant those, for both our sakes, I hoped she only said them just to spite me.For that bastard who had laid his hands on MY Brie,
CHAPTER ELEVENGABRIELLE THORNE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I never wanted the journey to end, I knew what awaited me the moment I would be alone with him. In his house. My eyes already stung from so many silent sobs, my heart was pierced with so much despair and helplessness that I felt it would overflow out of me. How did my life turn out like this? The slight pressure of the golden band around my finger provided a reminder that all of these were real. It wasn't one of those nightmares. I was trapped with the monster, and there was no escape! Even now, I could feel that brutally possessive gaze on me, it made me wish I could disappear far away, probably forever.I had been lucky enough during the plane ride, he had kept answering several calls and had no time for me. Now, I wasn't so lucky, he was sitting just beside me, I could feel the heat of his thighs where it brushed against mine. I was ever conscious of h
CHAPTER TWELVELUCIAN CASTIEL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Devin was the only one person who could disturb me on my fucking wedding night and get away with it. Alive. As annoyed as I was about it, it was some serious issue, related to work. There was a traitor amongst us. The newly designed A-12 was a new idea, a small explosive that could be shaped into just about any structure. It was supposed to be our new invention. Except that the traitor amongst us already sold that piece of information. To our enemies, Vladimir Petrov. And today, they are launching it. my very own creation. Stolen! All the hard work, including the money spent, was all gone to waste. I was fuming with rage, whoever the traitor was would be sniffed out, until then... I would wait patiently. Loyalty had always been a principle set up by my father, a trait that every one of his men ought to possess. The files had always been stacked here in my home,

Proceed at your own risk. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~STAB!My fingers drove the knife as hard as I could, I heard his sharp intake of breath as he went still. We stood staring at each other, the only sound heard was the sound of my harsh breathing and the low hiss that rumbled from his chest, his eyes flashed furiously as he realized what I had just done.He pushed me away from him so roughly, my butt hit against the floor from the force of it. I was paralyzed in shock, I couldn't believe what I just did either, only the tip of the knife which was stained with little blood made me realize I might not have hurt him as I thought. I had to leave! Right now when he was distracted. I started to scramble to my feet, blindly heading for the door, when his fingers gripped my neck, he squeezed me so hard that I forgot how to b
CHAPTER FOURTEENLUCIAN CASTIEL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My feet grated the wooden tiles beneath, I followed the sound of the piano. A heart heart-wrenching note that flowed unhurriedly. If I listened hard enough, I would hear mama's soft whimpers. She always cried each time the illness struck. Father would always warn me never to show myself each time mama get "Possessed". That was the word he used to describe her never-ending fits. Perhaps it was the darkness surrounding the house, or maybe it was the utter grief in the note she produced that told me this night would be different. I couldn't keep away from the magnetic pull of the sound, the impulse to find her was intense. Despite the darkness, I knew my way around.There was a tiny streak of light coming from the piano room, the tragic soft whisper of the piano ceased. I stopped just in front of the wooden door. I didn't hear mama's cry. There was nothing. I fel
FIFTEENGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I could see Derek all wounded, lying helplessly on the floor. Lucian stood tall and intimidating, a gun clenched in his hands. His eyes were the same. Cold. Merciless, and with the intent to kill. He was going to kill Derek! He pulled the trigger. NO!I jerked awake from the nightmare. I was blinded by the bright lights in the room for a second. That was when I saw him, on the foot of the bed stood the monster I only just escaped from.Only this time, he seemed more real. More frightening. His eyes burned with an icy rage that paralyzed me with terror. I squeezed on the pillow beside me, dimly conscious of the ache in my muscles. He approached me with such an intimidating aura that drew out a cry from my mouth. I already knew what he was capable of, he had shown me that last night. He was wearing only a pair of trousers, his upper body part was bare, the spot I h
