Fasten your seatbelt sweetie, because we're diving right into the thrilling part of this book. Stay wimme to the end. Muah.
Chapter 116~Dom~"Th-thank you. I can do it on my own... ahh!" Alicia shrieked, hiding her kneecap away from Nana, who was currently tending to her wounds while I stood beside the vanity in her room, hands in my pocket, hair disheveled, as I watched the duo battling with her cuts on her knees which had turned slightly red from the impact of the car as she winced in pain. I felt a hard tug on my heart and the urge to drive my fists into a wall. Or a person-the people who caused her this pain.Standing there, with my scrutinizing gaze glued on her, my brows knitted in intense fury as my teeth gritted harshly. My Aura, lethal as venom. I was barely containing myself as I recalled Chris's words and their graveness. I couldn't even help leaving her in the care of anyone else. Not that I was surprised, and I knew that this day would come, sooner or later, it's just that it seemed harder now. Because who would think that I'd decide to go against my own, to protect this daughter of the sa
Chapter 117~Dom~"I hate you..." Alicia choked out between her sobs, her voice breaking. My face contorted in Anger whereas my heart felt a different kind of sensation that I could identify as hurt. At the sound of those words of hers. Shit. I'll make her take them back. Grabbing her hands, I yank them up, flattening them against the wall above her head, I pinned her both wrists together with my merciless grip while my other hand ripped off her skirt, bearing her round soft pale ass to me. Gulping hard, the mist of anger that cladded my sight collided with another dark mist of lust, possession, and obsession. "Take it back, Alicia," I uttered throatily against her ear as my other hand frantically unbuckled my belt. Wagging her head in a 'no' which only infuriated me even more, I freed my raging, rock-hard cock, and without warning, I powered into her tight cunt in one go even if her walls were as defiant and tightly stubborn as herself and a startled gasp escaped her lips as she shu
Chapter 118~Dom~"Shit!" I cursed under my breath as my Aura darkened and my fingers pierced harshly against my palms, my knuckles turned pale as I clenched my fists by my side the moment I stepped into her bathroom. My heart thudded vigorously the moment I sprung into her room and she was nowhere to be sensed nor seen so I decided to check her bathroom...How could she had still been in here, after a whole fucking hour. at the same spot, in the same position, and in the same ripped clothes that I left her in. my jaws tightened as I stalked towards her but seeing how she didn't look up or twitched, means that she was already asleep but why here and not in her fucking bed??Halting in front of her who was curled up on the floor like a homeless hag, with her lids tightly shut, I crouched down as I extended my hand to push the stray strands of hairs that obstructed my view of her face and just then, my heart skipped just as it's been skipping lately and only she has been the cause. My br
Chapter 119~Alicia~"Ouch!" I winced the moment I lifted my head off the soft mattress beneath me. The wrenching throb in my head sent me back down the bed. Scrunching my face in agony as I tried to get used to the ache, I lifted my hand and settled it on my head. Tracing the aching spot, my fingers suddenly grazed against a hard fabric; a bandage. Oh, that's right. Last night we, the assassination, the accident. Pushing myself off the bed, I sat on my butt as I took my time to process everything that went down last night but a winching ache that stung me between my thighs, sending some weird tingles of arousal through me, wrenched me out of my trance and reminded me of that one person-Dominic. I felt my face heat up at my own words; the whole confession, and everything crept back into my head, flooding my entire head with an intense pace. He, was here with me last night, right? Of course, he was, the pain between my thighs suddenly felt sweet and I could tell the thickness and dark
Chapter 110~Dom~"We traced those bullets back to the quadrant, Boss," Chris informed me, seated erect on the leather chair across my desk in my office while I, on the other hand, was seated, face glued on the tablet on my desk, on my gray well-tailored suit with my dark brown hair, perfectly slicked back with a few strands, falling gracefully on either side of my forehead, with my white, gold-rimmed specks on. as expected of my underlings, who graduated from the top most brutal, secret underworld force, it would take them nothing to break into the hardest of codes and sneaky attacks of the octagon and quadrant. Without unlatching my gaze from my system, I gave him a curt nod with a single;"Mm," I responded. Seemingly too carried away by whatever I had my eyes glued on but I knew my consigliere well enough and my unfazed and impassive reaction to that dire information had piqued his interest."Boss? You already knew, didn't you?" he asked, his voice dripping with a mixture of pride t
Chapter 121~Dom~"Send her in," I muttered, the serenity on my face and in my voice, a complete facade and contrast with the turmoil that was swirling within me at the mention of that name. "You knew she was back in the country, no?" I asked Chris with furrowed brows with my jaw tightly set. Gaping wordlessly at me for some seconds, as if contemplating whether to lie or tell the truth, he nodded."Yes, Boss," he responded firmly. Seeing the visibly viscous lines on my forehead, he scratch the back of his neck as he sprung up to his feet sheepishly and stepped away from the chair."Why don't you give me the orders to put the fear of God in him?" he Uttered nonchalantly with his hands falling to his side. Creasing my brows at him, I glared treacherously at him."Desmond, I mean," he added. Gazing up at him as I dropped my drink on the table, the low thud echoing faintly in the air, I tsked at my consigliere's remarks before exhaling a long sigh."I wonder how come you haven't been kil
Chapter 122~Dom~"Ha. if I wanted you to beg for it you'd be face down flat on your stomach begging for it already, but you deserve to be punished, and you can't push it unless you wanna be locked up? so, no can do-" I Uttered nonchalantly to her but I could barely drop my words before my breathing hitched and I forced myself to swallow hard at the intensity of the abrupt friction and zap of pleasure that coursed through me at her abrupt hold on the crown of my cock. And without giving me space or time to react, Anabel latched her mouth on my cock. Licking and sucking on the crown of my cock wildly, savagely, and possessively from right above my pants. Twirling her tongue around it ever so skillfully and sensually with her both palms placed on top of my thighs. "Ah...fuck..." I groaned like a depraved animal and before I could let out another groan, she nibbled on my cap before snatching it into her mouth and sucking hard on it in hard tugs. Her sucks growing claiming, wild, savage,
Chapter 123~Alicia~My eyes widened in terror and horror as my feet halted at the sight that welcomed my big eyes the moment I made the mistake of stepping into Dom's office whereas the files on my trembling hands fell to the floor with a thud. The thud sound of the files falling sounded faint as they reached the floor, and my eyes focused on the reason why my heart was running wild and rampant against my ribcage in sheer mortification as I stood there, petrified, watching that woman with her flushed cheeks pressed to the desk.Their eyes snapped in my direction simultaneously the moment I stepped into the office. While Dom's dark hues held a reflection of utter bewilderment and guilt-if the look in his eyes meant anything, with him still buried deep inside that red-haired woman, the latter sent me a nefarious smirk that caused a shudder to run down my spine.What was that? If my senses could function properly at that instant, then that smug smirk on her face meant that she'd always k
THBM EP 162~DOMINIC~I've lived my life on violence and adrenaline. I've always thrived for control and viewed the world through a red lens because crimson was my favorite purging method. Killing was the only way to satiate my demons and drive them back into that dark abyss whenever they resurfaced, and I loved every bit of it all until now.Until I had to watch that fucking crimson gush out of the one person I never wanted to see it from. Until I lost control over my own self and couldn't move and just fucking cried like a kid until I was thrown back into that burning house with my eyes wide open and legs rooted in place as I watched crimson streaming out of my two parents and still couldn't do anything.I've always thought I was heartless until it came to Alicia. There was an unbearable pain exploding somewhere behind my ribcage, eating and gnawing at the organ that pumps my blood in ruthless tugs.The fact that I couldn't save her kept scratching at my sanity in harsh tugs, leavin
THBM EP 161~DOMINIC~The past month had been a red mist, but I never knew that there was something darker than the red I saw, perceived, and ate through the entire month in the absence of Alicia. After I got that video from my brother last night, I spent the entire night at my office with Chris, rummaging through files, connecting dots, and trying to hack into the motherfucking private island of Desmond, but it just wasn't working, and it grated at my last nerve and sanity. My eyes turned bloodshot when I got a notification on my phone again at 3:50 A.M. this morning and it was another message from the blonde fucker.'I know you got my message yesterday baby brother, and I know you liked it. Now, I'm telling you that if you should stall for another hour before you get here, I'm gonna be shipping her battered corps to you or fly her out the country, marry her, and put my seeds in her, I'm still contemplating though, and you know you wouldn't want any of those, I'm going to ruin her an
THBM EP 160~ALICIA~"Wake the fuck up, muffin, because fuck yes, it is." He responded rigidly with a subtle hint of mockery. The creepy smirk on his lips dropped as his face took on a deadly edge, eyes looking dead and Frosty as he peered down at me. I wanted to beg him, I wanted to take back the deal, I wanted to yell at him, throw myself at him, take back my words, and do anything just to take back my words even if it meant selling myself to him, even if only as a slave, anything at all to thwart his treacherous intentions that I could see from those dark gray of his eyes but the words wouldn't form, the words just wouldn't leave the tip of my tongue no matter how hard I tried, no matter how hard I tried to ignore his intense, viscous scrutiny, to stomp on the tentacles of apprehension that gripped a blood-chilling hold of my throat, it just wasn't working and all I could do was breath in the harsh suffocating tension and the ominous doom that permeated the air, all I could feel wa
THBM EP 159~ALICIA~A harsh glow flashed across the darkness of my closed lids followed by a harsh throbbing on my forehead as I tried to unlatch my heavy lids. Slow and steady, I unlatched my lids and my breathing hitched as my eyes came in contact with a phone with long fingers wrapped around it. The sound of another flash echoed in the air, seeping into my bones and flooding my head and body with the images of last night.Shooing the queasy filling that rushed to the forefront of my aching scull, I pushed my weight off the bed with a low groan, wincing as I drew to a sitting position at the winching throb that gnawed at my core.A deep, husky chuckle filtered into my foggy ears, and my movements stilled as I processed the voice that resonated beside me. Yes, that was right, the camera and the fingers...shoot! I thought my head decided to toy with me with the fragment of the last thing I saw before passing out last night, but i was wrong. Whipping my head to the side, my eyes collid
THBM EP 158~DOMINIC~"It's Alicia again, no? I've told you to forget about that bitc-Urgh...Fuck!" Chris's words ended in a throaty groan, muffling into his throat the moment my foot landed on his jaw, sending him flying and crashing onto my table, Cuban, and a bottle of vodka. Dropping my leg that was still hung in midair, I twirled around, glared daggers down at him, then connected my foot that was engulfed in black leather shoes to his groin, causing him to groan louder as he curled up into a ball on the floor, hands clutching hard on his groin as he writhed in pain.Twirling around, I had barely taken my first step to leave the fucker on the floor for calling her a bitch, and yes, she was a fucking bitch for everything that she had done but I was the only one who was permitted to call her that, treat her like one, and kill her like one, and no one else and he knew this. I drew to an abrupt halt at the long fingers that gripped a rigid hold of my ankle. My jaw and fists clenched vi
THBM EP 157~DOMINIC~I had never been addicted to anything or anyone, so I never knew and expected how notoriously and nefariously painful withdrawal felt. How fucking restless I'd become if I lost a pet, how empty the house would feel, how cold it'd been all along before my little pet came along, how much I had slept and hoped to wake up the next day just to see that pretty little face that housed a small mouth that felt so fucking good around my cock. How much I would skitter down the road of destruction if the day ever came when I'd have to lose my pet, how berserk I'd go. Okay, I had a hunch, fine, it wasn't just a hunch, I felt it, I've had the fear because I knew, I've always known that I had lost the key to the door that led to the world I lived before Alicia came along, that my life would become void and empty without her, that I'd go extra miles to try to get her back, that things would skitter off the wrong edge where my power, my men, my strategies, my brain and techniques
Chapter 156~ALICIAL~My ears twitched at the sporadic sounds of gunshots as my eyes gleamed with mischief mixed with pain, bloodied teeth in display as my grin broadened, heels echoing loudly as she ran ahead of me, running zigzag like a fucking animal while I was the hunter, the tables had indeed turned, the predator had become the prey. "It's-its the edge already, Alicia...pl-please... don't do this-" she pleaded, looking like a gruesome Halloween costume, dagger plunged into her left eye, body battered and sliced all over, hands chopped off as she stood there, quivering like a leaf in a hurricane, pleading and pleading, running away from an inevitable doom that was me, who was hot on her heels."Halt!" I growled, Halting her feet that twirled around slowly."Keep running in that direction, Becky." I think I sounded soulless, and I loved every fucking bit of it. Her eyes bulged and she trembled vigorously, feet slowly skittering on the floor, reluctantly twirling around. Her wrecke
Chapter 155~AlICIA~My eyes broadened as I leaped backward from Becky as she lunged toward me with a speed that left her blurry, my nose flared as I breathed in the vicious lethality that permeated the air, my foot faltered on the floor and she caught me off guard with a sweep kick, sending me crashing to the floor with a loud, painful groan. My limbs grew weak and my head became a jumbled mess as I landed on the back of my head, darkness engulfed my vision and that familiar feeling of shutting down cladded my brain again but my eyes jerked open with a painful yelp at the weight that landed on my middle, my eyes blazed as Becky's face came into view. Dagger poised for a killing thrust to my face, my heartbeat accelerated in desperation, my veins bubbled with dread and an overwhelming surge of adrenaline rush as I growled like a caged mother beast, my hands lunged forward at the last second and I got hold of her wrists, hands trembling vigorously as I pushed back at the same viscous f
Chapter 154~ALICIA~"Are you going to rather fall off the rooftop than fight me? Could it be that you already know that either way would have the same result, dear stepmother?" I taunted wryly, chest heaving harshly as I went hot on Becky's heels, hair, and my long black leather coat that was draped over my black leather jumpsuit with multiple holsters at my hips that housed numerous daggers, knives, bullets, and a pair of guns aside from the one I gripped tightly on my right hand, swayed to the rhythm of the harsh wind that kissed my face, swatting my hair at my face and threatening to sweep my feet off the ground. My eyes narrowed and my lips twitched into a smug smirk as I watched the quivering woman who was on nothing but a pair of crimson red pants, a milk color top with a round neck, hair let down and falling in shriveling waves behind her, feet engulfed in a pair of milk color mildly high heels, drawing to an abrupt halt at my words, standing a few inches away from the edge of
