All Chapters of Consumed By Darkness: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Leah,I lost my appetite the moment Aiden walked through the front door. He had turned what was supposed to be a happy meal between I and Liam into a meal we were forcing ourselves to have.I sat still next to Aiden at the dining table. After the scene in the hallway, he invited himself to lunch, dragging me along with him and making me sit close to him. Liam could do nothing but obey. I noticed from the way he spoke and behaved that he was terrified of his brother. I have never seen him so afraid of something before.I still can't believe they were brothers. They were nothing alike. Liam was calm. He rarely got angry, though when he does, he says things he doesn't mean. But Aiden was...he was just bad news. A dangerous, unpredictable psychopath.The thought of Liam having any connection with the mafia unsettled me, but then again, I would have known. And they don't seem like they were in good terms.Fuck, did he approach me on purpose? Did he still hit on me knowing I was his brother'

Leah,I hated the way he held my face forcing me to looking into his eyes as he fucked me. The way does dark lustful eyes bore into mine with a terrifying hunger. The sound of his deep moans, that vibrated through me, causing me to shiver, driving me to the edge of sanity. And when he leaned his forehead against mine, whispering dirty words with each thrust, I felt something, an unfamiliar warmth I couldn't place. It was a strange sensation I wasn't ready to acknowledge."Leah," he groaned, and I trembled, wrapping my arms around his neck, a shameless moan escaping my lips.I felt disgust at the sounds that spilt out of my lips. The way my body craved his, begging for more as he slammed into me, hitting that spot inside me that made my eyes roll back.This was what I was reduced to. A shameless woman. He had turned me into something I wasn't, a Liar, a twisted woman who enjoyed having another man inside her. I hated myself, I hated him, I hated this strange emotion I was feeling. I w

Aiden,I cracked my neck, the sound echoing off the walls of the elevator as the doors slid open. I stepped out into a long, dimly lit hallway, Storm behind me.I needed a drink, a shower and a pussy. I have not had a fucking rest because of this damn roaches.I turned the corner, my eyes locking onto two men in black suits who stood guarding the only door on that floor. I walked towards them, putting my hand in my coat to feel the pocket knife in it. One of the men stepped forward, his face scrunched in anger. "Who are you? You shouldn't be here," he said, and I kept moving forward."Who the fuck are those bastards?" The second man gritted walking forward too."Hey," the first man said, grabbing my arm to stop me. "I said you are not allowed here.""Get your hands off me," I warned in a low voice."Are you..."I grabbed his arm, flipping him over my shoulder, his body falling on the floor behind me with a hard thud. I took out the pocket knife in my coat, kneeling beside him in a sw

Leah,A day earlier,I watched the dark liquid swirl into the mug as I poured myself a coffee, catching a glimpse of someone entering the kitchen out of the corner of my eyes.Our eyes met. His gaze softened, clouded with regret. His lips parted as if he wanted to say something, but the words died before they reached me. I looked away first, setting the coffee pot down on the counter and bringing the mug to my lips, blowing softly before taking a sip."Hey," he said hesitantly, and I didn't answer, neither did I spare him a glance.I heard his footsteps draw closer, my fist clenching around the mug as I forced the coffee down my throat."Leah," I know damn well he couldn't control himself when he was angry. He always said mean things to me, but laying a hand on me was a first. I grew up never getting slapped, only to be slapped twice in the same year. "I'm sorry," he murmured, moving beside me, so close I could feel his warmth. "I don't know what came over me. Fuck, I didn't mean to

Leah,I stood at the foyer, gripping the railing as I looked down, watching Aiden giving orders to four men in a low, commanding voice. I couldn't make out the words, but I could feel the tension from where I stood. A muscle twitched in his cheek as he stood, and at one point, he smacked one of them, Scar, really hard on the head.Ever since that day he brought me here, he had given me nothing but cold, angry looks. I could tell he was barely controlling himself from hurting me with the way he ground his teeth whenever we crossed path. He was only holding back because of Aiden, and I really don't want to find out what would happen if he ever stopped.It was already afternoon, and there was still no sign of Storm. He usually drove me home in the morning, but today, he hadn't shown up, and Aiden had been absent all morning as well. I bit my bottom lip, the thought of spending another night in his place making my stomach twist.As if sensing my eyes on him, he turned and looked up his gaz
