CHAPTER 11Alicia's POVAs Dom raged out of the house, I rushed to the window, my curiosity piqued. Who was Desmond, and what had ignited Dom's ire? I spotted Desmond, his smirk evident even from afar, and sensed the dark, menacing aura surrounding him more dominating than that of DomDom's body shook with rage, while the man who had accompanied him stood by, exuding fear. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I beheld the scene unfolding before meDom's POVI raged out of the house, slamming the door behind me. with my brows knotting, my gaze fell on my brother, presumed dead, yet standing before me. I had thought that it was a prank- not that my consigliere-Chris, would dare pull a prank on me but, it was just too sure to be true. but seeing him standing there, resting his elbow on his car- the sheer audacity of his presence was staggering. I drew my gun from the pocket of my coat, cocked it, and aimed it at him"State your business, or this bullet will find its mark. Trust me, brot
Chapter 12Alicia's POVI felt something cold poured on me as I gasped and at once, my eyes fluttered open greeted by a searing ache on my head. I was drenched from head to toe, it felt cold and it was dark. I tried to get up but I couldn't find or feel my hands. It was as if my hands had gone numb from the impact of the rope that was used to bound my wrists together. Tied to the back of the chair where I was tied to.Realising that I was tied, I felt uneasy. Fear crept through me, I swallowed hard and bit down on the inside of my lower lip to keep the tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes. Oh God, I was tired. So tired. Why..why me? Why's everything against me? Where am I?' My whole body trembled from both the cold and fear. It was so dark and errie. I whipped my head to every angle, trying to see the person who had poured that water on me, but it was all dark and I couldn't see. And suddenly, the memories of the previous night flooded my being. And my heart thudded hard
Chapter 13 Alicia's POV Just as he pushed his raging, hard, warm dick into the depths of my throat, the door flew open with a loud thud. And there he was, the Man I was running away from. He caught up with me anyway. I felt a bit relieved and I couldn't understand why. Wasn't I just trying to escape him? Had I been waiting for him to come rescue me this whole time? I was lost in thought, staring at him, not knowing whether to be thankful for his presence as I felt Kyle stiffen. His dick still plugged inside my mouth but I could feel it shrinking. I felt something warm trailing down my cheek. As I watch him. His aura darkened and his face grave. I had never seen him this angry. Not that we've been together for a long time but, even when his brother had come unannounced the other day, he didn't look this bloodthirsty. I could see his jaws clenching and unclenching as he stood there, frozen. Glaring hard at Kyle who was now looking scared and furious at the same time. The air was thick
*Where am I?*Chapter 14 Alicia's POV "No, no, don't go, let's leave together...d-don't leave me!" I yelled and jerked up from my deep slumber. The sun was already peeking through the window and the light rays reflected on my body.It was almost noon, the sun was already peeking through the horizon. the sky was bright and blue. The cool breeze blew the curtains and they danced in rhythm sync. I peeked through the window and it was a beautiful day, the sky was clear and blue. The birds chirped and flew freely, unlike me, who was trapped. Who could not decide for herself? Who was living at the mercy of another Man? "Oh! The dream. That dream again. I haven't had it in a while now, who?" I muttered to myself, as I sat up on the bed. I felt light and strong. As I strode into the bathroom, I headed straight to the sink, my throat felt sore and dry, and my vision was still blurry I bent over and splashed a handful of water on my face repeatedly and patted my face till I felt fully awake
Chapter 15 Alicia's POV Slow and steady, I followed Nana-the head maid through the long hallway way and we halted at the front of an elevator, she opened it stepped into it, and gestured for me to get in too. This mansion...this mansion was so big. But it wasn't the right time to admire interiors, so, I could only watch in awe, confusion, anticipation, nervousness, and exasperation,As the elevator took us to our destination. I could only brace myself for whatever that was going to happen next. I was already getting used to those things but it wasn't easy at all. I heard the elevator halt on its track and my heart raced."We're almost there, Mrs." She said, bowing her head, she was all smiles while we walked the entire Time. Although I was used to this kind of treatment from maids, but I never felt the need to have someone bow their head to me. Especially the older ones. "Um..N-nana,?" I called out to her hesitantly as I pulled on her gown sheepishly with just the tip of my fing
Chapter 16*A deal*Alicia's POVI stood there, frozen at the site of Dom. Our gaze locked on each other. He had that calm and gracious expression. Like nothing in the world bothered him. My heartbeat accelerated, as I watched him. So many thoughts flooded my head. Thoughts like I...I was back here? But how? How did I? Okay it was possible but, th-thus house, this house, it was different so how? As I stood there still trying to solve the puzzle in my head, the faint sounds of Anna's cries echoed and jolted me back to reality and out of my daze.I had those many thoughts of "how's" but was never "why's"? Was I beginning to feel safe in his arms? Although he already bought me, I already lost my Dad, and my stepmom had already laid claim to all his assets. So maybe.. just maybe, the fact that there was no other place to go to or no relatives to live with, was the reason why I felt safe? Or was it because I wasn't in the captive of that monster anymore? Urghhh! He's angry right now, isn
Chapter 17Alicia's POV*A deal*I kissed him harder and harder. I had never initiated a kiss before, and neither did I know how to do it. So I flashed back at those times when he used to kiss me, I instantly imitated how he'd peer my lips open with his tongue and dig deeper into my mouth. Sucking on my lips. I did it all, but I knew I was far from perfect. But at least, even if it only lasted for that moment, if it could only delay his orders, I was ready to do more. I felt his hand grabbing tightly and firmly on my waist and pulling me in.A gasp escaped my lips, but I didn't dare to open my eyes. I felt his tensed muscles loosened as he reached out for the back of my head pushed me closer to him and kissed me forcefully and ferally. I was almost out of breath when he stopped his ravaging and wicked onslaught. And when our lips parted, I felt my whole face flushed extremely red. More red than a hot tomato.He cupped my small face with his large hands, staring at me with desire. Smir
Chapter 18Dom's POV I sat there, staring at her small frame, eating as if she's been starved for years. And for some unknown reasons, it was satisfying. This girl...this girl had a way of making me feel peaceful even without trying.'And why? Why did I agree to her conditions? I don't know, it wasn't because I believed that she'd never try to escape again. And I never cared if a woman tried to run away from me before. To me, they were meant for just one purpose and that was SEX and nothing else. and they could easily be gotten whenever I wanted. Aside from spreading their legs and manipulating Men, there was nothing else you could benefit from this gender. And that's why, I had always preferred bedding women than housing them. And that was why I let her leave the day she'd escaped. I watched her fragile self scram away from me. I didn't care. Not until.. until....urghh... whatever. I don't share what's mine. And you.. Alicia, you're mine.'Those thoughts flooded my head as I rested
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 pou
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 o
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
Chapter 144~DOMINIC~"Who was the boy and who killed my father?" She Struck with a feisty edge as if she could read it on my face, the darkness in my voice, and the thickness of the atmosphere. "Tell me, Dominic...hic...tell me that that story wasn't your biography, that that little boy wasn't you, and that you didn't kill my father. Because I don't know how I'd believe or who to believe anymore...please help me...my heart...it hurt...right...right here..." She choked out between her sobs, placing a hand beneath her left breast as she locked her streaming eyes on mine."Alicia-""Please...tell me, just tell me that you didn't abduct me to rape me to death, the same way my father did to your mother, are you one of them? Oh God. I don't know what to say anymore. Just tell me. Please...help me understand. because I can feel the pain of that four-year-old boy and I'm hoping that story wasn't cooked up because everything fucking hurts..."She wailed bitterly. Trembling vigorously like a le
