Se connecterNIKOLAI Just as I have predicted, Gut wrenching screams of despair have filled the large hallway. Blood is splashed all over the white walls and even pools have formed on the ground.Ironically, Giovanni sent men to my base to eliminate me and everyone under me but here I am, still standing with a loaded gun, a blade dripping in blood and my men.“Ah!” My head jerks up as a scream pierces the hallway and a boy rushes towards me, swinging an axe in the air.I stand still. A smile is on my face as I watch his feet that hit the puddle of blood around.He is closer to me now, the axe hanging in the air and his lips stretching out in rage.“I'm gonna kill you!” He growls and swings his hand to bring the axe down to my neck.I jerk my hand up at that moment and sinks the blade into his throat then draws it out effortlessly.His body stops moving, his eyes widen in dismay and his skin slowly begins to turn pale as blood gushes out of the hole in his neck.I grab the axe still hanging in th
KAITLYN “Forgive me for lying on you, Ana,” I mutter under my breath.The driver is silent and heading in the direction that leads to Ana's house as he was instructed.I bite my lips and lean close, gripping his headrest.“Uhm… can you change directions? I want to go see someone else,” I mutter.The car jerks to a violent stop and my hand snaps away from the headrest as the force of the unexpected stop throws me back to my seat.I curse loudly and grip my banging head.“Are you okay, ma'am?” The driver swings his head back as he asks.I narrow my eyes at him and sit up, rubbing my neck.“I’m fine!” I snap.The driver sighs and turns to face the road again.“I'm sorry ma'am, but I was instructed to take you to Miss Lopez's residence,” he replies coldly.I gulp hard as I glare at the back of his head.He is going to be another obstacle that I'll have to go through to get to Sam.I am not going to back down until I have gotten what I want.I can't let anyone know where I am, not even An
KAITLYN My heart drops as I watch Nikolai's car drive off from the balcony. I still don't understand what he meant when he said those words and he didn't care to explain either. With the look on his face as he left, I doubt if he'll ever explain what I just heard over the phone a few minutes ago. My heart tightens when the words fill my head again. Don Peterson. Shivers wash down my spine and horror sprouts from the pit of my belly. “No, it can't be true, it can't be,” I whisper, shaking my head. But the more I try to shake off the feeling, the harder it becomes. I need to prove the thoughts in my mind wrong if I actually want to be able to be at peace. I bite my lips, thinking of a way to get the answers I need. A thought suddenly flashes into my mind and my head jerks up. I let out a gasp and turn around to leave the balcony. There is only one person who can assist me in finding out the truth– Sam. I take out my phone from the drawer and dial Sam's number
KAITLYN Anger flickers across Nikolai’s eyes as he shifts his gaze from my neck to my face. “Who?” he growls again and my belly tightens in fear. “Uhm…” I stutter. I can't tell him that it was his brother, Jesse, who did this to my neck. If I make a mistake in doing that, it will lead to massive bloodshed, and Jesse will be a victim of this bloodshed. I can't cause the death of someone else I care about again. “Mi amor?” My gaze rises when he calls me again. His voice is calm but I can hear the rage that lies beneath his voice, What should I tell him? What? I pull my hands down from around his neck and stiffen against the wall, blinking the tears that had gathered in my eyes. “You,” I whisper. His eyes go dark, and his hands on the walls pull away. He staggers back, his head tilting to the side with confusion and shock darting across his eyes. “What?” he scoffs loudly in disbelief. “It was last night when you fucked me. You had your hand around my neck,” I s
KAITLYN I stagger back, my jaw dropping in horror. When did he return? His eyes are fixed on me but there is no speck of anger in them. “You've been gone for hours,” he mutters, breaking the thick, uncomfortable silence in the room. I tug on the scarf around my neck and gulp hard. “I… I was at Ana's,” I stammer out a half-lie. He continues staring at me, his body leaning on the cold wall behind him. It seems like he wants to dig out the entire truth with his piercing gaze. I have to use everything in me to stop myself from dropping the killing gaze. The silence has gotten thicker and the tension hangs lower than it did before. I grip my fist, my heart thumping loudly in my chest. It is so loud that I hope he isn't hearing it. Oh God. Please don't let him see the band-aids on my neck. Don't let him see it. “Master,” the voice of the butler slashes the thick air. I suck in a deep breath, a little bit relieved. Nikolai finally shifts his gaze away from me and
KAITLYN “Does it hurt?” Ana asks as she pulls a band-aid over the last wound. “No.” She straightens up and sighs, her worried eyes cast over my neck. “That bastard!” She whispers for the fifth time. I force a smile onto my face. “I'm alright,” I reply, hoping this will pacify her at least. She narrows her eyes and hisses then closes the first aid kit. “Have you talked to your father about your brothers’ plan to get you married off?” I ask. She freezes and after a few minutes, she slowly looks up, pain darting across her eyes. “It's useless,” she mutters. My head tilts to the side, and my eyes go dim in confusion. “Why is that?” I ask. “He has more authority over your brothers and I'm sure he will never want to see his daughter married off to a man she doesn't love.” She scoffs and shakes her head, anger in her eyes. “He was the one who formed the alliance. It's useless, even if I can fight my brothers, I can't fight my father's decision,” she mutters. My
KAITLYN “Hey, Kaitlyn, wake up," I hear a voice whisper into my ear as I lie still and almost dead.Why did the voice sound so familiar? Why does it remind me of him?"Kaitlyn?” My eyes slowly open, not because I am strong enough but because I want to be sure it is who I think it is.And just lik
KAITLYNSilence reigns in the car as Philippe drives through the busy road.I glance at him for the sixth time, expecting him to speak and save me from tension, but he doesn't.Instead, he keeps his eyes on the road and grips the wheels tighter like it will break if he dare lets go.I can't take th
KAITLYNI stare at the tea the woman has made, my fist clenching. I haven't touched it since she dropped it and walked away. The only thing on my mind is Philippe's last words, and what gets me so worked up over it is the urgency in his tone.I sigh loudly and run my hand through my hair, then get
KAITLYNMy body is on fire as we deepen the kiss. He rubs my cheeks fondly and cups my face into his hands as he sucks ferociously on my lower lip.A gasp escapes my throat again as he rubs his hand against the folds of flesh between my thighs.I moan again and tighten my grip around him.He breaks
