View MoreELLA'S POVStaring at the Harley Quinn in front of me, I wasn't sure what my reaction should have been. Maybe anger, jealousy or even pity, Damian wouldn't stoop so low as this, or would he.I thought to myself before sitting back down into my chair, I could guess on the incidence of that day, after Damian walked into the bar maybe the day I had seen him from a distance, he got so drunk and had a one night stand with the bartender, unluckily for him she hurried back down here after realizing who exactly he was, I chuckled underneath my breath.A part of me regretted not walking behind Damian into the bar that day, another part of me felt like letting out a loud laughter. Jullie was missing and here was Damian floriking around.“Hello sir, there is someone……….“Tell him I've got a property of his in my possession” she said cutting Laila into her speech, Laila looked confused for a second but picked up from where she stopped.“Here to see you, she claims she's got a property of yours t
ELLA'S POVI walked into the room, feeling a bit lighter after my discussion with mum, it felt like I truly got to speak to her and in a different way from how we initially converse.I never got to tell her I love you after the incident with dad and she never did so too. I was gonna walk back no matter how far the distance was, but I found Diego tailing behind me like he had been on me all this while.“How did you find me?” I asked the moment I hopped into the car.“Guess we both got lucky” he said as he started off the car, I nodded although I didn't understand what he meant by that.I wasn't quite convinced he randomly found me on the way but I certainly wasn't pushing on, not at this moment when I had a lot going through my head. I rested my head on the seat and drifted off to sleep.“We're here ma'am” I heard Diego's voice call out and I hopped out of the car. It had gotten quite late and I needed to get some rest.I walked in and headed straight into my room shutting the door beh
DAMIAN'S POVI found myself recently having nightmares, the next worse than the previous, I obviously was stressed as fuck, I couldn't focus on a thing the of Julie was really wrecking me into pieces, Luke's crew hadn't found anything of value after last identifying her at the airport.It seemed as though she had vanished right at the airport, Maria wouldn't let me in on anything and I knew she felt pleasure seeing me suffer, knowing fully well where Julie was kept.“Jullie is only a child, please let her out of this” I had said the last time she picked up one of my numerous calls.“She ain't involved in anything, she's fine where she is. She's happy too” Maria had said, but trusting on her words was the last thing I was gonna do in my whole existence. She clearly wanted Julie under her hand to have full control over me, I felt bad for jullie who would only feel like a tool being exploited by her own mum.I needed to see her, hold onto her hands and tell her she was gonna be fine an
ELLA'S POVI let the taxi driver take me around the whole of Texas as I watched through the window how beautiful the place was, I needed to think, I was being lied to but by whom I couldn't place a finger my fingers on that face,I heaved out ones more and I was sure if I had kept count of the numbers of times I had done that, it was gonna be the twentieth. I had noticed the driver's eyes were on me for over half of the ride, he kept on peering through the overhead mirror, maybe to confirm if I was gonna lose my sanity at any moment.“I'm good, stop staring and drive” I said to him when he wouldn't focus any longer on the road.“Where to?” He spoke up for the first time since I stepped into the car, only then did I realize I hadn't said a word to him on where I was headed. No wonder he was staring at me, I chuckled.“Downside Texas” I said as I smiled towards him, he nodded and took a left turn as he drove towards the house, I shut my eyes as I tapped my foot in the car. I needed to me
JASON'S POV“You gonna have to do it anyways” sounded like a threat, she didn't have to threaten me to get me into action.I now understood what she needed, it was violence, she had been trying to provoke me into treating her the worst way I could.Maybe she would have demanded it but she chose the wrong way, I was gonna torment her till she begged on her knees or maybe not.“You need my help with Damian don't you? She added as she let out a wild smile. I chuckled, seeing an older woman do the unexpected just to get laid was quite arousing.I moved my hands from her breast region back to her neck and choked her so hard as I hungrily kissed on her lips, she freed her hands from my grip and moved them down towards my pant unzipping them hastingly, I held back her hands in the air throwing it off, I pulled her by the hair and dropped her into the chair behind me.She seemed anxious but I wouldn't care, she needed to pay for the slap's she had earlier given me. I pulled out a single belt
JASON'S POVMaria was such an obscure woman, she thought differently and does her things in a different perspective, whenever she brought new ideas I was always left in awe, how the fuck would a woman think this way.I loved her for that, she matched my energy a lot. She's the best partner I've ever had. After my anger led me over to her house, for the first time I saw her range.I knew for a reason I shouldn't have gone over to her place but I couldn't control my fear, what if Damian made a move with the new information he got before I could get to her, he took me off guard and I wasn't gonna let him win this lap, not while I also had a card to play.“I'm in” I had texted Maria the moment I felt threatened, she was the only one I knew could be of help to me this moment and why not?.She was Damians biggest fear and weakness and I knew what a weakness could have on a person. I would love to see the iced Damian melt before a woman figure, how exciting the view is gonna be. I waited res
DAMIAN'S POVAfter my meeting with Luke, I was overly restless, I couldn't focus on anything as I checked through my phone for the seconds hoping a message popped up from Luke saying they had found Julie.My worries grew into fear as I wondered if she was okay, I tried her line over and over again, I dropped her messages by the second.My heart was no longer in its place as I wondered what might have happened to her. My phone beeped and it was a message from Dave talking about real estate investments and all.I flung my phone to the wall in anger and watched it fall to the ground with its scattered broken pieces. I hate that I couldn't do anything for jullie at this point. It was the worst feeling ever to exist. I took my bath and stepped out of the house.I had gone home earlier than I normally do but couldn't focus on anything, I needed some air. I drove towards downsides in Texas and found myself at a bar, I couldn't resist the urge to walk in.“Look at that car” I heard a voice fr
ELLA'S POV “You finally came” those words from Kayla's mouth made me feel welcomed, she'd been waiting for me all this while I guess. Maybe the day I came over with Damian she had lots to say but kept it to herself. She stared at me grinning from ear to ear like she had seen her savior and I was about to say “Hey I'm here for informations not to let you out” as if reading my mind she chuckled and motioned with her hands for me to come closer. “You can't get me out I know” she laughed out loud after saying those words and sat back the way she had initially done. “So how can I help you” she asked giving a knowing smile on her face. “Uhmmmmm about the other day” I continued and then paused staring into her eyes. “I don't regret my actions Ella Keyla continued” and I wondered why she would say such to me, or was that why she'd wanted to see me all this while? to tell me she doesn't regret all she did that lead to the death of my mother?. “I love my family so much, and I will do
JULIE'S POVI layed on my bed counting the ceiling and naming everything I found around, for all of my morning I'd been doing that. I had walked into a mum and dad conversation the previous evening after she'd collected my cell phone, although I had no intention whatsoever to tell Dad what I've been going through with mum, I knew he cared less about things like this. I paused on my steps as I heard dads voice from the dining hall.“Why is the more security in stand by than necessary”“Uhmmm, I just thought we needed more” mum answered and it became quiet for a while.“I never instructed that”“But I did, I'm the one always home, so I know exactly what is needed here”“You took Julie against her will didn't you” mum chuckled and I heard the clashing of cutleries on the table, she must be dishing out food i thought.“I didn't ask you to do this, I asked a question and you ain't gonna ignore me”“You asked a silly question honey, how will I kidnap my own child ”“I thought so too, but yo
ELLA'S POV“Jason, no! Don't come any closer! Please… you said you loved me… you can't do this-” His hands were suddenly over my mouth to stop me from protesting as he ripped my clothes off my body while I struggled to break free from the ropes that bound me to the bed.“Love?” He repeated mockingly as he pressed me deeper into the bed, his eyes glinting with a murderous intent that I'd never seen before. “You refused to give me what I wanted. Now I'm taking it by force. What has love got to do with this?”“Jason… wait. You want us to have sex right? Fine, I'll do it! Just untie me, please.” I managed to scream out as tears rolled down my face but he let out a loud cackle before pulling away and taking off his clothes.“Too late, my darling. No matter how much you scream, no one's coming for you.” He grinned wildly as he hovered over me and started to kiss me forcefully.Struggling was no longer an option. He had totally overpowered me and I was completely weak against him. The pain o...
