Chapter 82

~Alicia~

"it's going to be a long night, Alicia." Nelly uttered, expressionless, her words holding no warmth in them or was I hallucinating? must be it, but I couldn't help the uneasiness that I felt as my heart tightened, watching her retreating figure from there.

what was that?

Sitting there like a little kid who has been told to wait patiently for her mother, my eyes darted around the entire place as I resumed my admiration of the well decorated hall, the huge and luxurious mansion and the couples who were present there, my eyes fell on the stage and I saw the butler who had led us into the venue earlier, making his way up there.

"Good day Beautiful Ladies and gentlemen." The butler's voice resonated through the loud yet amplified speakers and everyone's head snapped towards him on the dazzling stage that reeked of royalty and luxury.

"May I have your attention please?" the butler's thick voice resonated once again and this time, the whole arena fell silent and my gaz

    Chapter 83~Alicia~"Who do we have here with us tonight, Nelly?" The old man inquired, curious. freezing me in place. although he was scary, but that wasn't my fear at all. but the worse could happen if My stepmom would find out that it was me. I don't know what her reaction would be but she was a devil and wouldn't hesitate to pull another devilish scheme. I had so much wanted to confront her but not in this state. my heartbeat raced like a wild horse at every passing split second as I waited frantically and petrified for Nelly's words. it was as if everything around us had turned blurry. I could still here the faint sounds of the butler's words but all I wanted was to get out of here, safe, and alive. my gaze remained fixated on Nelly who did everything else but looked at me."Ha. she's....my friend. my friend mirabel. hehe. my college classmate before I left the country, uncle. I had invited her here because of my brother's birthday party and you know the vibe, uncle. trust me, she

    Chapter 84~Alicia~"May I have this dance with you.....muffin?" That familiar husky and hypnotizing voice cooed softly yet rigidly. I felt my entire body shuddering at the sound of his voice. Trying hard to remain as normal as possible, I slowly raised my already glistening ocean-green hues to meet with his grey piercing predatory orbs that peered intently down at me with a small smile dangling on his face. My breath hitched as our gazes met each other's. With every bit of sanity and restraint in me, I held back my startled gasp and appalled look as I feigned a small smile at him. The thought of, what if Dom was somewhere, watching, struck me, and my face got deprived of every single smile that could tug on it as my hues glistened more. I shouldn't be here. How dumb was I to not know that it was this Desmond? But Nelly hadn't even given me the name of the birthday bash yesterday and I blindly followed her."Don't keep the prince waiting, mirabel hehe." Becky, my Stepmom's voice rang.

She...she was getting married again? Already??I watched her striding closer and nearer to me, petrified. My voice had long betrayed me and my eyes were deprived of any tears as I was too stunned and scared. My heart dropped as I watched her halting just an inch away from me before extending her hands to my face, causing me to flinch before shutting my eyes and wai

A heart-freezing scowl engulfed his perfect structured face as much as he's eyes turned bloodthirsty red as he peered down at her, gritting hard on he's teeth, few strands of hair fell gracefully on one side of his forehead while the rest is brushed back. I felt my heart thudding louder as my eyes bulged, watching him."Shut your Damn mouth, Becky! you know not how long i have been outside that Damn door! the earlier you realize that your grip is still on her hair, and unclasp it, the better for you!" he

    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.

    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

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 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

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

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.

    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
