Chapter 87~Dom~ My heart ran rampant like a wild horse against my chest in both an unfamiliar fear that I couldn't fathom and in pure rage as my eyes got deprived of any kind of warmth. as I sat at the back seat of my black van, soulless. We had gotten back to Chicago two hours ago and we were close to my father's castle. A deadly and soulless smirk ghosted my lips as I clutched my phone tightly as if to squash it into nothingness. but in reality, what I wanted to squash was that blonde head of Desmond as I watched him through that picture as he held my possession extremely close to his chest. my heartbeat accelerated abnormally as I watched her fingers which were placed on his chest as they danced. "Fuck!" a low growl escaped my mouth as I threw my head to the back and rested it on my seat in both rage and frustration. frustrated because I couldn't understand this unfamiliar feeling inside my heart, this longing feeling to see her and this possessiveness that my heart screamed. I h
Chapter 88~Dom~my Father was turned petrified as he unlatched his eyes nervously before darting his gaze slowly through the right side of his face where that bullet had swished passed. He's gaze broadened and his jaws clenched as his rigid eyes fell on one of his most trusted Men, laying cold dead in the pool of an enormous amount of his own blood behind him as dark smoke oozed out of his forehead as it was oozing out of the muzzle of the gun I was holding, indicating it's current use. petrified and enraged, my Father exhaled a heavy breathe before locking his gaze on mine in a challenging deadly glare before darting his eyes to her favorite baby, Nelly who was almost lifeless in my viscous grip."Where is my woman?!" my voice once again thundered, and sounded more desperate and treacherous."Well if she was that important to you that you could even kill your own sister and attempt to take your own father's life then why did you let her attend your brother's birthday party when you
Chapter 89~Dom~"Alicia!" my voice came out hoarse and desperate. I couldn't help the enormous surge of fear that surged through my entire being. It was like I was watching my entire life being snatched away from me as I stood there, gazing lifelessly at the Duo who halted in their tracks at the sound of my voice and my sudden invasion. But wouldn't detach from each other. For my brother, I knew that he was aware of my presence and that I would surely find her and that's why he did what he did, and that only infuriated my guts more as I knew that he was trying to confirm my infatuation towards Alicia.Clenching my fists and jaw as I stood behind them with his back facing me, I saw his shoulders working, indicating that he was laughing before he slowly twirled around with a menacing grin on his face as his grin grew more treachery and loud. My rage blazed as my breathing became ragged in fury, an uncontrollable pain that tugged on my heart and the strange race of my heart as I watched
Chapter 90~Alicia~"Why did you let him kiss you, Alicia?" he seethed out huskily through his gritted teeth against my face as I gazed pleadingly at his enchanting yet hard dark hues that held a murderous yet soft, helpless look inside of them with my glossy ones as my eyes brimmed with more tears whereas his grip on my neck turned more viscous and nefariously tight as his burly chest heaved up and down. Digging my nails into his hands frantically and nervously, trying to free myself from his grip, I tried to speak but no voice could be heard as he had blocked my Air, which only made more hot tears sting the back of my eyes."Please..." I mouthed but no words could be heard and I saw his scowl harden, turning more nefarious whereas the redness of his eyes became a shade darker as an uncontrollable rage and fury blazed in them. hissing, he darted his eyes down to my lips and I was sure they'd look more puffy and reddened due to the intensity of Desmond's roughness on them earlier. he r
Chapter 100~Dom~"Good morning, Don." Chris greeted me as soon as I walked out of my room, shutting the door behind me, my eyes lingered on him, who was already prepared."Morning," I responded curtly as I strode passed him, placing the small white towel around my neck before putting on my black ear pods. It was a Saturday morning and I was going for a morning jog down the streets as I'd always done. I was on a white sweatpants and a black singlet that hugged my burly chest and abs perfectly, exposing my broad chest and shoulders, just about comfortably. I didn't bother to use the elevator since it was a morning jog that I was heading out for anyway. We made for the stairs from the third floor of my mansion. "The shipment arrived late last night, Boss," Chris uttered as soon as we jogged out of the mansion's gate, side by side."Good," I commented, unfazed."Get my office cleaned up, we're getting back to work at the company by Monday. I've had enough of the holiday bullshit." I blur
Chapter 101~Alicia~The melodious chirping sounds of the birds resonated through the opened window, seeping through my serene slumber. I was getting used to this natural alarm by the day now, unlatching my heavy thick lashes which cast a dark shade on my cheeks, I tossed on the bed for a few seconds before my gaze fell on the thick white curtains that danced to the rhythm of the cool morning breeze that blew the curtains swiftly like a puppet master and my lips tugged into a wide beam as I watched those birds that flock freely through the tinted glass walls.Tugging my messy hair behind my ears, I pulled the thick white blanket off of my lower body and my eyes bulged in shock as my gaze landed on the same silver dress from the previous night and everything that happened before I blanked out last night played like a widescreen across my head. Getting down from the bed, I caught a glimpse of myself unintentionally through my dressing mirror and my feet halted as I gazed at my pale skin
Chapter 102~ALICIA~"Alicia dear..." Nana cooed softly, her shoulders dropped and her eyes glossed up with unshed tears as I gazed at her, confused. "What, why are you..." I stuttered, confused as I went closer to her but her words halted me."Alicia, it'll be better if you knew nothing about the young master and even if you'd ever know, it'll be him who'd give you those answers and until he wants you to know them. so, my child, you either fight your way into his heart, or fight your way out of his grasp but one thing is certain, that you can never get away from him until and unless he wants you to." Nana uttered, her words sending a wave of fear and bewilderment into my body as I gasped at her who stared tenderly at my glossy hues which threatened to brim at any second as I processed her words. biting hard on my lower lips, my gaze fell on my fingers that fidgeted as I shut my eyes tightly close to hold back the tears that threatened to spill until I felt those familiar, warm hands
Chapter 103~Dom~"I think you should lead the way, Alicia. I don't know where we're heading ?" I uttered, halting on my tracks and I felt her bumping her head on my back, coupled with a low gasp that left her mouth from the collision."Uh, yeah! yeah, right." she responded, grinning nervously as she walked passed me to lead the way. I could feel it that something was wrong but what was it, I could see it from how tensed she walked but what was more alluring was her..... fucking hell! gulping hard, I averted my gaze from her behind to focus on the walk. I was wondering why the elevator had brought us to the third floor where the masters bedroom which is my room, was, but I had decided to not ask any questions. shrugging my shoulders inwardly, I towed behind her small frame. my eyes slightly bulged as we halted in front of my door, stepping aside, she glanced up at me before dropping her head again. my brows knotted in confusion and suspicion."You know my question, i shouldn't ask bef
Chapter 153~ALICIA~It was exactly 20 hours after Desmond made every threat and cooing in the world to diverge my mind and will from this day. À the day I had been waiting for. A day I had been looking forward to like no other, a day I was going to either take one more life to avenge my confiscated Freedom and the mysterious, gruesome death of my parents, or be killed and sent to meet them like a headless chicken in hell.It was exactly 5 P.M., dusk was already staking its claim, and I couldn't help the thrill that coursed through me, trying to gauge my heart out of its cage. Not in fear or apprehension, it was in sheer excitement like the Grim Reaper. I couldn't help the wide beam and adrenaline rush that woke me up this morning like a shadow, like a cloak, and like a second skin. It wasn't because I was so confident in winning and succeeding in my quest, no...It was because I felt a kind of boundless freedom like I had never felt before. A freedom that robbed me of the thoughts of
Chapter 152~ALICIA~"Fuck...So fucking tight...so fucking perfect...such a lewd, soaking wet cunt...urgh...what the fuck did I tell you about talking about your death, hmm?!" He groaned ferally as I felt the twitching of his cock and the warmth from his pants and I knew he'd cum too from the toughness of his pants and ragged breathing.His head lulled down and nuzzled into the nook of my neck as his twitching intensified and his growls and groans of pleasure died down, his hold loosening around my neck as he leaned up, released my leg that was hung on his arm, midair, his grope on my neck shifted to the back of my nape and he pulled my head backward, raising my chin and colliding his gray, softened orbs on my moistened green ones, his eyes searching mine for a tidbit before they strayed to my trembling, reddened lips."They're all swollen and red now, beautiful too." He mumbled hoarsely, his other thumb brushing soft strokes on my bottom lips. Eyes gleaming with the feral need to poun
Chapter 151~ALICIA~"Failed, again." Desmond's gruff voice rang behind me, before spinning around and swiftly heading over the barrier counter that separated us from the bullseye target in his shooting range where he was training me. Or preferably, where he had been training me for the past two weeks now.Two weeks, it's been two weeks since this training, and the fire of vengeance that bubbled through my veins hadn't waned the slightest bit. It's been two weeks and I hadn't managed, not even for once had I been able to get the plaguing thoughts, of what I had signed up for, the horrific, gruesome image that haunted my nights and dreams of the Man I murdered in that car the day I ran into this irrevocable alliance. Two whole painful, lonely, yearning, and torturous weeks of trying to get the voices, the face, and touches of Dominic off my head and skin, my core, even. Two weeks of prepping myself and getting ready to throw myself into the dark, scary, impending, and awaiting fangs of
Chapter 150~ALICIA~"A good thing you're not one naive little kitten. Then, I won't have to hold back or Beat around the bush in an attempt to not scare you?" He Uttered with a dark edge as he raised a toss at me who stared blankly back at him with a titter, while my heart accelerated at the sinister darkness that took over his gray orbs, turning them frosty and soulless as he steadied them on me, all playfulness dissipating off his features. The ominous venom, rapidly becoming too suffocating as the silence lingered on, so I parted my lips and broke the eerie silence."And...does those price also include..." I whooshed out a shaky breath out of my lungs and nose as I averted my gaze from his and buried it in the food in front of me."Are you...going to fuck me...too-" I muttered in a shaky voice that was barely above a whisper. The words leaving a bitter taste on my tongue and throat as they rolled out."Eventually." He butted in, halting my words. His rigid voice forbade any attempt
Chapter 149~ALICIA~The Large, tall, white paint house was nothing short of luxurious and elegant. Royalty too. The only thing that was missing was the cozy warmth, air, and closure of home, and that home was with Dominic. Shooing that thought to the darkest part of my head, a part where I didn't visit a lot, a part where I kept the things I wanted so much to forget, a part where I hoped and prayed would smolder and consume the face and memories of Dominic, I let my nostrils flare as the delicious aroma from the vast, copious, different cuisines in front of me on a long marble table, wafted through the walls of my nose. The pendant black and gold three-set chandelier that almost dropped from the ceiling to the floor above our heads cast a warm glow on the foods and wines on the table, but none of that was enough to ease the uneasiness and bitterness that I felt, the self-loathing that gnawed at my soul, the trembling of my limbs and fingers as they wrapped around a pair of golden cu
Chapter 148~ALICIA~The rampant pace of my heartbeat from the moment Dominic barged into my room and caught me red-handed still lingered, and it was climbing frightening heights that I never thought were reachable until now. It was running so painfully hard that I was surprised when I couldn't see it ripping through my ribcage to find its way outside.The more things like the fluke that deterred Dominic's attention from the phone on my hand when he came, lunging straight at me in those bone-chilling strides earlier in my room when I thought it was all over for me and I'd been caught, The more I started to believe that whatever deity that could hear and see me out there was definitely on my side, and the thought of it only gave me more frightening courage to dare more, reach beneath myself, rip through my softness, tenderness, and find the toughness of an elegant, strong, smart, elusive woman who was shackled at a dark distance, wailing, clawing, screaming and begging to be released. S
Chapter 147 ~ALICIA~Hauling her out of her bedroom, I took the elevator back down the first floor and took the secret route from the basement, with her hoisted up on my shoulder, my left hand snaked around her thighs as I made my way down the black, metal few staircases of the secret passageway that led to the underground garage. Closing the camouflaged white tiled door of the escape route, I jumped down the case and a startled yelp left her mouth as my shoulder bashed vigorously against her abdomen, forcing me to put her down but it was downright risky as it stood and so, I quickened my pace and strode towards one of my cars. Wrenching the automatic door with my face biometric opened, I shoved her inside and strapped her seatbelt tightly across her as her befuddled, puzzled gaze locked on mine."You...""Shhh. Stay right here, Alicia. I'm going back there to clear the entrance, I'll be back in a brief. And if it gets too rowdy, I'll send one of my guards; he'll give you his name-Bor
Chapter 146~DOMINIC~"It's all done, Boss." My consigliere announced raptly. His eyes beaming brightly with pride as a heavy, long breath of relief whooshed out of his nostrils. He was standing in dark gray sweatpants and a light black sleek turtleneck that mapped his hard, rippled features tightly across my desk with both his palms on my desk while his eyes gleamed with the bright reflection of the gray-colored PC in front of him."Mm. But cross-check your work severely to make sure there are no mistakes or holes that that fucker can get hold of, Chris. I don't want no more surprises, got it?" I let out assertively. My dark, unfazed eyes that were securely hidden behind my crystal clear gold-rimmed specks were glued on the tablet on my right hand as I rested my butt on my desk, calculative twirly the vodka that I occasionally took tidbit of sips from, dangling on my other hand with my back against the office and Chris, while the city lights that protruded from the vast city, reflecte
Chapter 145~ALICIA~A week.It's been over a week since the nerve-racking discovery in Dominic's room, and a week since I passed out on the verge of almost spilling and divulging Nelly's name due to the bargain, his heartbreaking story that had me bawling my eyes out as he's words practically threw me into a frenzy. Who was I to believe? It wasn't as if I could go wake my father's corpse from his grave to tell me his side of the story, no.And all the words that Dominic trusted me with or told me out of anger, I wouldn't say I managed to get under his skin, no, he merely tried to clear the air, and also, he didn't sugarcoat his words when he bluntly told me how much he'd dreaded my Father, which he had every reason to, and how much he wished he was the one who killed him, and I was sure it would've been more brutal.After brooding over his words and the whole overwhelming dark secrets he let me in on, I realized that, while those were secrets he had kept from the whole world for so l
