Audrey's POVMy eyelids snapped open and my heart began to race when I discovered that I was in a strange room and on a strange bed. The bed was so soft that I almost wanted to succumb to the lushness that came with it. I sighed as the memories of last night flashed through my mind. I could remember how Jacob's soldiers had captured me and brought me here and now I am sure that Kaden would be dead worried about me right now and would probably be in search of me. I could imagine the rage he would be feeling right now and prayed that he gets to find me quicker than Jacob decides to use me for one of his sick jokes; Someone would definitely lose his head in a blood battle."This is surprising," I muttered, staring at my free hands. I had totally thought that my hands were tied or cuffed…or something like the captured prisoner that I was but instead, they left my hands free; even my legs were untied."It seems my captors are foolish" I muttered to myself, hoping that no one would hea
Kaden's POVIt's quite appealing, listening to the news of Audrey's sudden disappearance."Where do you think she'll be?"I inquired, staring at Alder who was seemingly just as angry as I was. I was seated in my office, but I couldn't bring myself to find comfort in the chair. I was tense at this point. “She probably went on a vacation?” Adler said jokingly, in a bid to lighten my mood but it only seemed to rile me up even more."Are you seriously spilling those words out of your mouth? Does this look like a joke to you?… does it?? The fact that Audrey is missing and Ian is hospitalized doesn’t make you worried in any way?” I snapped at him, he knew I was serious but the look on his face told me that he would persist with riling me up. "Well it's just my opinion. I warned you about your attitude towards her, but you always said I was wrong, things were so complicated. Well it's more complicated than you can explain." Adler retorted, stepping backwards away from me. He knew me just l
Audrey’s POV“Shit!” Kaden curses under his breath, which made me turn to look in his direction. I wanted to ask him what was wrong until I noticed that he was staring out the car’s window at something… or someone beyond. I tried to take a peek at what it was but found nothing; in fact, it was almost as if he was seeing things I could not see.The car came to a stop shortly after that and the first thing I was greeted with as soon as I stepped out of Kaden’s car was an angry looking Shantel. She looked like she had just been run over by a moving truck and let out strings of profanities from her lips like they meant absolutely nothing.The only thing which bothered me though was the fact that she was directing her insults at me.I mean me… why?“If you have any problems with anyone, go to them and stop raining spittle on my face.” I snapped at her, and smirked inwardly when I saw the shock register on her face.“It’s how you can pretend to be a saint in front of everyone when you kno
Audrey’s POV:“No, get away from me!” I screamed at the top of my voice as I sprung out of bed.I jerked awake, panting like I had just run a marathon and glanced around myself only to discover that I was still in my room and on my bed, and not in the makeshift pack I’d seen myself in only a few minutes ago… in my dreams.My lacy nightie was soaked through and through with sweat and even my limbs still shook, probably due to how fast I’d been running in my dreams.“How’s this even possible?” I muttered, slapping against my chest and stomach looking for signs of the cut I had sustained but sighed when I felt nothing.The hell?I’d just awoken from a nightmare, a nightmare where I was being chased around by a fire spitting Shantel who had somehow managed to morph into something that was neither a beast nor a werewolf but was scary all the same. At one point, she had almost killed me but I’d barely escaped when some sort of force had made me spring up from my bed.The nightmare shook me
Audrey’s POV: The excitement of feeling stronger waned and was replaced with irritation when I remembered the position I’d met Kaden and Shantel in. Whenever I closed my eyes or even blinked, I would see them embracing, would see how close they’d been with their arms circled around each other and it still made me see red. Pure red rage. …and I hated Kaden for it. Hated that he had the ability to make me feel different strong emotions and could also use it to his advantage. I also hated that he didn’t feel any form of remorse for what he’d done. He didn’t try to explain, neither could he even look me in the eye. After my hands had totally healed themselves, I pushed the door open, stormed inside my room and slammed the door shut behind me with so much force. It shook on its hinges but I paid no attention to it instead it only seemed to fuel my anger even more. My mind was everywhere, and my brain was too fogged up with anger to care about anything else. All I cared about was a w
Audrey’s POV: “Audrey…!” Ian called out to me again and this time I jerked awake, letting out a blood curdling scream. It was as if his voice had penetrated through the dark fog around my head and had pulled me out of that peaceful place I’d wanted to sink into. I slowly turned around, ready to snarl at him for scaring me the way he did but as soon as I saw him… and the condition he was still in, I held my tongue, feeling sorry for him. He was still wrapped in bandages, probably from that attack days ago and his face was swollen in such a way that it almost seemed botched. His eyes were dark and reddish and had dark circles around them. For a minute, I almost imagined it to be a costume until I noticed the broken flesh by the side of his lips. “Ian…” I gasped, “how? What happened? How did you get this…” my voice trailed off as I couldn’t come up with any decent words to describe how he looked. He seemed to understand my unvoiced thoughts and said nothing. Instead, he limped over
Kaden's POV:"I know you've got lots of documents to handle, why don't you go handle them and come back later while I sort these documents out." I said whilst avoiding Adler’s stare."Are you indirectly saying I should give you some space? Sending me out of your office" Adler retorted sharply, he understood exactly what my words meant, yet he asked me rhetorical questions.I knew the best way to get Adler out of my office, and he hated this so much that he wouldn't hesitate to leave my officeI stared at him for minutes, gathering my words and phrases, looking for the right words that would sink directly into his head. "You know sometimes I feel there's a nut stuck in your brain that needs to be removed. You act like a wise man sometimes and the other days you're a total nutcase. It's quite difficult to ascertain if you’re really okay or not." "I would be leaving now. '' Adler said quickly, but before I could say a word, he walked out of my office. I knew Adler hated being insulted,
Jacob's POV:She moaned, but I wasn’t sure if it was out of pleasure or pain but I didn’t care. All I cared about was getting myself sated.I smiled to myself, thinking of how thrilling it’s been to taste the bud of this beautiful maid. It was quite a thrilling experience to me, knowing that she would be killed today. I definitely wouldn't want anyone telling Elora about my infidelity, it would be disastrous and would surely spoil my plans… the reason I always killed every one of the girls I slept with.They were just maids who naturally became history due to their social status, and this one was just one of them. With these evil thoughts swarming I’m my head, I pulled her hair and fisted it, watching her cry out in pain as if she already knew that today was her last day on earth. It's quite intriguing deciding the day everyone dies, I am their master and I own them even until death, so killing them is a method of justification to me. Pleasuring myself, covering my tracks, these ar
