Right now I was at the office after having a massive argument with Dario on the phone along with my parents and brothers at home. Why?....because they were all adamant of me not going to work but me being me has to go to work. I have already missed 2 days of work and I can't miss anymore of it and right now I am glaring at Atlas who was forcing me to go home. "Shut up Mr Williams, I've already has the same talk at home, I don't need a repeat of it. I am perfectly fine to come to work so stop annoying me and please leave" I said gritting teeth. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "Ok....but if you need any help, don't hesitate to call me. I'm always here" he said and turned around finally leaving me alone.
I huffed and stood up, leaving my cabin to get some papers printed off. Now even though I am a CEO I prefer to do some things on my own even though I have my PA to do that. As I was walking down the corridor I

Faith's POVMe and my parents were now standing outside the house that was filled with horrible memories of my past. My brothers couldn't attend as they had work to go to, so it was only us 3 attending. The door then opened with Kate and Dave welcoming us inside. "Thank you for coming....it's been long since we have had dinner together" Kate said with a smile as she hugged my mom. Atlas then walked from behind his parents and greeted my parents. His eyes then locked with me as he gave me a happy smile, happy that I was at his house. I looked at his attire and was impressed with the way he was dressed. His hair was combed neatly, slight curled at the top making him look handsome. He was wearing a black suit looking ever so smart but I just ignored his smile and hugged Kate as we both kiss each other's cheeks. "Com

Dario's POV I walk back and forth repeatedly waiting for Fai's call. My blood was boiling in rage. How dare he talk to me like that? that ass had no idea who I am and how powerful I was, I could destroy that boy with a snap of my fingers. He said that Fai is His? I scoff on that thought. Fai was mine the second I laid my eyes on her. She was the light to my darkness, the happiness to my broken life, I will destroy everyone who comes between me and the love of my life. All of a sudden, my phone rang. In a flash I answered the call, "Dario I'm-", "Are you at home?" I cut her off in a cold tone. I heard her sigh "Yes I am, look Dario please don't take his words-", "seriously?" I finished her sentence off. "That bastard doesn't know who he is challenging Fai, he doesn't know who he is messing with, he just signed his death right off" I hissed in anger. "I'll talk to you tomorrow, I've had enough for today" she said and disconnected
Wounded Hearts Chapter 27- Shocked
Faith's POVI was sitting in a meeting still stuck in my deep thoughts at what Dario had said. "Miss Abdella?" a voice called out, cutting me away from my thoughts. "Y-yes?" I replied after clearing my thoughts. "Are you okay?...I've been calling you for about 5 minutes but it seems like you zoned out" Atlas asked professionally as we were in a meeting. "Yes, I am fine" I answered looking away from him. "Please continue" I nodded to the person who was giving us a presentation. Throughout the meeting I could feel a burning gaze on the side of my face and knowing who was behind it, I ignored the gaze and focussed on the presentation instead.After the meeting had ended, I started to pack up my belongings and was going to walk out of the door until someone caught my wrist. I looked at the hand that grabbed my wrist and trailed my eyes along it until it reached a face that I once loved. After waiting for everyone to leave the room Atlas

Faith's POV I looked at him in shock. He wants me to marry him?.is this man insane? Has he lost his mind? "Excuse us please" I growled not taking my eyes of Dario's face as I dragged him outside of the room into the back. "Have you lost your mind Dario? What an earth are you talking about?" I quietly shouted at him. Instead of his silly smirks, he gave me a serious expression. "I lost my mind the day my eyes laid on you my love and yes I know what I am talking about. I want to marry you, end of story" he said with a dark tone, our noses now touching each other. "No" I pushed him back. "No... No....no way Dario. You can't do this to me" I said with unshed tears in my eyes. His face softened as he moved closer to me. "If you don't marry me then your parents will force you to marry Atlas and that is something that I will never allow to happen" he stated. "No, they won't. I already spoke to mum and she said she wouldn't do that" I replied

"Fai...please accept his proposal. After all those you have rejected, someone is finally wanting to marry you. If not Atlas then marry Dario. He is perfect for you. He is handsome, rich, brave and what not. Don't reject his proposal Fai" Faith's mother pleaded her when she found out about Dario's proposal for her. She was desperate for her daughter to settle down. Girls normally would settle down at the age of 23-25 but her daughter was now 27, nearly 28. She wanted to have grand children, she wanted her daughter to be happy but little did she know how deeply her heart was wounded by the one she had loved.Faith looked at her mum in disbelief.

What would they be doing now?....are they?...No..no I shook my head erasing that disgusting thought."Fai, sweetheart would you call everyone down telling them that dinner is prepared" my mum asked me. I gave her a nod and washed my hands before calling everyone to the table. After calling everyone down we all sat around the table, while I placed the plates in front of everyone.

Wounded Hearts Chapter 31: Forced
Faith's POVIt's been 6 days since I agreed to marry Dario. Thankfully my dad was okay. It was a minor heart attack and nothing too serious, he just had to make sure he took a lot of rest. My parents were really happy when they found out about my decision, whereas my brothers weren't. I didn't know why but I felt as if my dad was hiding something from me. Whenever I spoke to him, he would never look into my eyes and talk. He would either look down or would just look away and speak but he never locked eyes with me, like he was ashamed of something."I can't wait to see you dolled up as a bride. I can't believe my dream is coming true" My mother kissed my forehead as she squealed in happiness. "Sis, if he ever hurts you in anyway then come straight to your brothers....I'll make sure that man never walks again" Noah gritted out, not knowing that Dario already hurt me. "Ok....now that sounds wrong" Nathan laughed causing Noah to glare a

Atlas's POVI held up the beautiful white wedding dress imagining my Faith in it as she walks down the aisle, me taking her hand in mine as we say our vows ending it with a kiss. I smiled at that thought, she will look beautiful in this dress.I chuckled to myself as I held the dress in my hands entering her room. I watched her sit next to the window with a blank face, her arms hugging her knees. I decided to take her chains off for today as I now have cameras all over the house. I even have a tracking device on her so I will know where she is if she ever tries to escape me again."Look what I have for you my angel....isn't it gorgeous?" I asked with excitement. Faith ignored me and continued looking out of the window as she wiped her tears. My heart squeezed in pain b

"please calm down sir" the nurse said but I pushed her away. I got up from the bed but instantly fell to the ground in weakness. "Faith" I whispered with tears in my eyes. "Sir please...you need to calm down or else it will affect your health" the nurse said. The doctors helped me lay on my bed as I looked down in pain and anger."How...how long have I been here?" I asked quietly. "Over 6 months" he said. I snapped my head up at him, "6 months?" I asked in disbelief. I ran my hand through my hair. Damn 6 months?....where is my Faith?.

Faith's POVMy stomach growled with hunger making me take in a deep breath. I hadn't eaten all day. It was now dark outside and my wrists were still tied to the bed posts. I closed my eyes in pain and my stomach growled again. All of a sudden the door opened and a delicious smell hit my nose as my stomach rumbled again."Someone's hungry" a voice chuckled. Atlas came in with a tray of food. "I'm sorry my Angel for coming late but I needed to punish you. By the way the kids are doing well, they both miss you a lot, Leo doesn't go a day without asking about you" he said making me secretly smile. At least they are safe.He sat beside me and stabbed the fork into the pasta. He lifted it up to my lips and I opened my mouth to eat. I wanted to moan out as the pasta was amazi
Wounded Hearts Chapter 13: Escape
Faith's POVMy body was stiff as Atlas nuzzled his nose onto my throat. I fisted my palms as he muttered something in his sleep. I stared at the ceiling, thinking about a plan to escape. I need to contact my family....just one call and it could save my children's life. "Not sleepy?" Atlas asked in his husky voice. I stayed silent, my lips in a straight line. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. I felt his gaze on my face but I continued looking at the ceiling."Angel...why won't you talk to me?...It's been 2 days and you haven't uttered a word....I'm dying to hear your voice" his voice shook weakly like he was about to cry. I heard him sigh as he bent his forehead against mine but I quickly snapped my head to the side feeling disgusted by his touch. I heard him growl as he grabbed my jaw harshly moved it towards him leaning h

I never....I never want to hurt her....I never want to raise my hands on her ever again because I lost her for that reason and many more."Faith....you need to eat" I spoke as I held a bowl of noodles in my hands. She ignored me and just stared into space. I closed my eyes and sighed, placing the bowl on the table. I held faith up and made her sit up on the bed. I brought the bowl to her and sat beside her trying to feed her but she didn't open her mouth."Faith please....you need to eat" I said wi
