Chapter: 147EPILOGUE.A FEW MONTHS LATER.SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW.It all still feels like yesterday, that we were fighting that monster, racing against the clock, the universe, everything, just so we would not crumble under the weight of the war. Dominic had made a live video call to Raphael, as I heard, while I was on the plane, out of it. The anesthesia administered to me had me asleep for long hours as the doctors on the plane worked on getting the bullet out of my thigh.Now, just eight months later, I am here, heavily pregnant, and attending my mother's wedding to the true love of her life, Daniel."Mom, are you ready?" I ask, walking into the room where she is getting her final touches done by the makeup artists."Only a few seconds, baby, I just need to add a few more touches," She says. The way she looks so shy, so young, so...free, amuses me and at the same time, makes me so happy for her. She has been through so much, and now, she is getting her happy ending."Wait, what about Maria?" Sh

Chapter: 146DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEW."I am heading over to Alvarez now," I inform through the pod, walking as stealthily as possible towards the only room that has not been looked at, the one the cameras pick up the vermin's presence in. "Be careful. My daughter cannot mourn her husband while pregnant," Daniel says into the pod, and next thing I hear is a gunshot. I imagine he shot another person."No problem, father in law" My response must show my lack of suprise. I had a feeling his feelings towards my wife were far from the way an uncle would love. He looks like someone ready to lay down his life for my wife if necessary, and for that, he has my respect."We are headed your way now, Dominic." Aurora says, "Do not move in on him until we show up. You need all hands on deck so he does not slither away like the snake he is."So I pause, still at alert, ignoring the bodies strewn all around me, every single one of them dead, either by a bullet or by a gun.It does not take long for them to meet u

Chapter: 145ALVAREZ'S POINT OF VIEW.It happened so quickly. I was looking at the document she had signed, pure joy and elation coursing through me at my newfound victory, every single thing I have done is so I could live to this moment, this time when I finally have everything that bastard had. Next thing I know, my men were telling me, "Sir, she has escaped."Escaped. Like she is not just a woman, a woman that can easily be subdued and made to do whatever the fuck a man wants, a man who is stronger than her. My men are some of the most trained soldiers in this world, but a mere woman outsmarted and overpowered them?"We can still find her, sir," Lorenzo says, walking in. "Give me an order, and I will have a few of your men, and in a few hours, she will be back here, ready to do your bidding again. She was shot by Siroc, she can easily be found since she is injured." Lorenzo has always been a fucking dog, someone to serve a master, and never becoming a master himself. He moved from Padrino's w

Chapter: 144DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEWA FEW HOURS LATER.The thunder cracked through the sky, roaring as though it strikes with a rage that mirrors my own as I stand, the rest of my people behind me as we each ruminate on the information my wife gave us on the route to the house Alvarez is hiding in."Is everything ready?" Aurora asks from where she stands beside me. Sabine is safely tucked away on a plane en route to Spain as we speak. The second I got her, I knew there was no way I would have her in a place Alvarez could get to her again.I made that mistake once, I am not making it again. The doctor on board would do anything he could to save her and our baby. Sokolov has been nothing short of helpful with this war, and I will have to see to the alliance he keeps talking about.A marriage between his son and a daughter of mine.The cruel but smart fucker has had his eye on my erritory ever since I took over from Padrino, and with this, he has it."We need to wait for Sokolov's men to arrive. I al

Chapter: 143SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW.I rest my back against the rock, a shudder escaping me at the intense cold. That was all I could feel. The kind of cold that shashes through you, never like a gentle breeze, as my breathing became more laboured as each minute passed while I sat here, hoping, waiting for an absolution that I hope would come. Right now, I understand what Jack from Titanic felt as he floated in the horridly cold water, holding onto his love's hand while she kept herself on the raft. It feels like I am Jack in this moment, waiting for a boat, hoping that the cold does not get to me, or the sharks, as each second passes, while I hope for a boat that I hope would come back for me.My teeth clatter in my mouth as I try to warm myself by rubbing my hands together while trying to ignore the burning sensation in my thigh. The only things on my mind are my baby and my safety.Did anyone even know of my disappearance by now?Will I be here for the rest of my life?Will there ever be a sav

Chapter: THIRTY-NINE.AURELIA'S POINT OF VIEW.He lifts me roughly, making me wrap my legs around his hips as he carries me into my room. Placing me on the bed gently, he flips me on my stomach, and then on my knees.Next thing I know, he's entering me again, implaing me on his cock. We have been at it for the past..I have no idea of time. All I know is I've come at least four times on that table in the hallway, before he has me back here, on this cloud-like bed."Who do you belong to?" He asks again, his tone of voice reeking of burning desire and desperation, like he needs me to say I am his, or he would crash further, making me pay for my defiance."You." I moan out as he reaches below to flick my clit, his fingers massaging my walls as he fucks me from behind. With a hum of satisfaction, he sucks on my ear lobe, slightly tugging on it as he thrusts savagely in me."Ohh! I'm close." I moan as his thrusts turn harsher, pistoning in and out of me like his life depends on it."Will you put yourself in har

Chapter: THIRTY-EIGHT.AURELIA'S POINT OF VIEWWe'd barely made it through the walls past the library when he set me on my feet in a corridor. The walls were wide apart, quiet, and lined with dark wood and floor-length windows that overlooked the garden. The light outside was dimming, the night fast approaching us as the evening sun bathed the hallway in gold and slightly brown rays, ecjoing a soft, seductive glow. His eyes, however, burned hotter than anything else in this moment.His gaze shifts suddenly, no longer watching me.He's consuming me.His eyes roam over my body, his hand on his chin as he watches each crevice his eyes can touch, the gaze setting me on fire."Take off your clothes. Slowly." He commands, his voice raspy, heavy, with just the right amount of dominance to set me over the edge.I blink, looking around in uncertainty. "Here?" He tilts his head, as though the idea of me questioning his command is strange to him, before he nods, his voice low and patient as he says."Slowly." He re

Chapter: THIRTY-SEVEN.AURELIA'S POINT OF VIEW.The dining room is quiet. Not the quiet you get after a good meal, or the quiet you get while eating. It's rather a tense and uncomfortable silence that draws itself out for a long time, making you conscious of everything around you. This silence is...watchful, tense.Like one's on edge.Levi sits across from me, his sharp gaze on the table, like he's inspecting, looking for the slightest mistake, error, as he silently nitpicks about the table. The cutlery set is arranged like the queen and king are here to dine, and not just me and Levi.The plates and cups look to be made ot pure fine china, the spoons look to be made of actual gold, as the napkin on my thigh was folded by Levi himself, after he pulled my seat for me. The hallway is quiet, eerie, and unfeeling, and I do not hear even a beat, not until the featherlight footsteps of Martha, accompanied by a few other women, carrying the food in immaculate gold trays.The neatness of it all throws me off, not

Chapter: THIRTY-SIX.AURELIA'S POINT OF VIEW.He helps me take off my clothes, slowly peeling them off my body.His hands slowly pop my buttons open, each button defenseless under his careful hands. His jaw clenches, his eyes zeroed in on the task."You don't have to do this," I whisper, saying it just in case he isn't comfortable, even though something in me says he's very happy to do this."I want to." He whispers, looking me in the eye, before undoing the last button and removing my trousers. I step out of it, and he picks it off the floor, before pausing to neatly fold it on the bed, smoothing it to ensure there are no wrinkles on it.Then, he lifts me like I'm, glass, as gently as possible, causing me to wrap my legs around his waist, as he carries me into the bathroom.Once the door opens, I'm met with nothing but marble, white walls. Each wall was as bereft of design as the rest of the house. That does not take away from how huge it is, though; the shower compartment is wide enough to be twice the

Chapter: THIRTY-FIVE.AURELIA'S POINT OF VIEW.THREE DAYS LATER.The room is quiet, save for the faint rustle of hospital sheets and the steady beeping of the machines that have become my lullaby. The past three days have consisted of Levi treating me like an egg, and I have barely lifted a finger. He bathes me, brushes my teeth, combs my hair, and makes sure I am well catered for. Yesterday, I had a ravenous craving for pizza, even though it was against the doctor's orders to eat anything greasy or cheesy. And Levi has followed up on every single instruction, administered my medication to me, barely missing a minute from the time I'm expected to take them, and of course, he refused to get me the pizza, not until the doctor approved it.The second he had the approval, he had someone get me the largest box in the restaurant, a few blocks from the restaurant, never leaving my side, and even watching me while I ate, a possessive twinge in his eyes.He leans against the wall, watching the room like he owns i

Chapter: THIRTY-FOUR.AURELIA'S POINT OF VIEW.The first thing I notice is the weight of the room.Not the feel of the IV needle in my arm. Not the ache in my head, and the discomfort from the bandage. Not the pounding headache racking through me. Not even the steady beeping sound from the machines I'm connected to.All I can see is Him.All I can feel is Him.He sits beside my bed, on a chair that looks uncomfortable as hell.His presence hits me like gravity.Undeniably, but still grounded.Levi Vale.The enigma, all six feet of pure sin and seduction, fury and raw obsession, sitting beside me like a storm ready to unleash its full potential. The fact that he's still here, beside me, even though I am sure he would have a truck load of cases, and applications to oversee at his company, investments to look over, and whatever else billionaires do to make sure their income is further away from the tax beacket of the masses, like myself.His hand is in mine.His tie is gone.His suit jacket is still on the fl
