All Chapters of Nathaniel's Captive; Vicious Love : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Delilah's eyes opened slowly, lids blinking to adjust the light around. They were still heavy, wanting to fall shut again but she managed to look at him as he stood tall in front of the dressing table, sprinkling feather kisses of cologne onto his skin. She blinked her sight, scanning him down. He was dressed in his office attire, a black suit that made him look intimidating and handsome at the same time. He was an attractive creation, after all. She couldn't help but compliment him in her head again, saying right after the smile that spilled on her lips, "Good morning." He turned around, unable to keep himself from returning the soft gesture. "Morning," said he, grabbing his wristwatch to put it on. The metal shone over his wrist under the bright glow of the room. "You always leave so soon. What do you have so urgent to look upon around six in the morning?" she asked, putting a palm before her eyes to prevent light from disturbing them anymore. He approached her a few strides, cl

Nathaniel came out of the bathroom after taking a shower because of how his wife made him step out in the rain. Though rain was never his thing and he was never fond of getting wet in it, Delilah changed his perspective when she stepped into his life. For him, rain might not bring a smile to his face but he knew his wife could do it just by existing. Playing so carelessly with his wife in the rain and chasing her until she was in his arms was indeed fun. He liked it. Liked it very much when he got to kiss her and tease her over tiny reasons. Watching her blush so furiously always made him sigh in possessiveness for her. That smile, those blushes, that soft look in those eyes — only belonged to him. Why would he let it go then? He knew he did nothing to deserve it but to keep it to himself, he needed to cherish it. After enjoying themselves, they came inside the house and straight walked into their room. The maids downstairs were surprised to find him wet in the rain. They kne

At night, he felt her stirring in sleep beside him. Little whimpers of regret and pain were coming out of her and it got his attention.He wasn't even sleeping peacefully because of what had happened a few hours ago.After she fell unconscious, he brought her to their room. He didn't dare to touch her skin with his bloodied hands but he surely stained her clothes with them. She wasn't aware of it, it was better for her.But through the fabric she wore, he could feel her skin burning. He washed his hands and came to check on her. Indeed, she was burning with fever. He immediately started taking care of her, changing the cloth over her forehead until her fever subsided. It was then he could take a shower and come back to have some rest.Not liking Hooriya's blood even on her clothes, he stripped them off her skin. He was more conscious of not leaving her in clothes that contained blood than seeing her half-naked.He then brought a shirt to put on her and lay beside her after putting asi

“Katrina and our grandfather had many arguments and our grandfather won. He couldn't let Katrina marry Judas. Even though Judas made it clear not to marry her, she knew she had authority over his will. If she could make our grandfather understand, she could make Judas marry her.”These were the last words Jasmine said before departing. She didn't desire to stay any longer. She just went to invite Delilah and Nathaniel for the grand celebration and she did it. She wasn't fond of staying around her brother.The words stayed in Delilah's mind. She kept wondering about her father. After knowing that Katrina was one of the young girls who fell for her handsome father, she realized how wrong the world was going. It was good to know that nothing could make her father think otherwise or else, Katrina would be her stepmother today. What a horrible idea!However, before leaving, Jasmine every beautifully and very cleverly put a thought in Delilah's mind which said—just like Judas entered their

Delilah didn't talk to Nathaniel after that. Nathaniel saw how she was trying to avoid him. Every time their eyes collided, she averted them instantly, leaving an ache that troubled his chest. He never liked this distance.After he was done filling her up with fear, he sat on the bed. His nerves were still boiling and he was only dreaming of killing the men who even tried to look at Delilah. Didn't he know how pleasant his wife was?He knew and trusted Delilah enough but his possessiveness ruled over his faith in her and he ended up asking strange and absurd questions to her. They hurt her. He saw it. He saw how tears formed in her eyes when he doubted her and even asked her questions of doubt to her. He did not stay silent in anger and that was his mistake.The door clicked open and Delilah walked out. Her face was wet, indicating that she just splashed some water on it. He knew why. Not only because she came from outside but also because she was crying inside. He didn't hear her
