LOGINChapter SevenVanessa’s POV“Vanessa,” I quickly turned around as Max grabbed my hand. “You are safe now,” he smiled. “Come on, let’s go. I’ll kill him for you and set you free.” He moved to pull me away from Kai’s side and Kai grabbed my hand.My breath caught in my throat. I gasped.“Not so fast,” Kai said. “Your Highness,” he sneered.I swallowed. “You can’t just take Vanessa from me. Can’t you see we are in love?” Kai looked at me and smiled sweetly. “Isn’t that right, baby?”My heart began to race. “Nessa, why don’t you tell your cousin?” My eyes widened. He knew? He knew I was related to Max. What if he hurts him?Max pulled me to his side. “Anyone with eyes can see she has been forced into this.” He pointed at my eyes. “Look how swollen her eyes are. Does it look like she’s happy to make this demon her mate?!”“Those are tears of joy!” A voice yelled. My eyes followed the voice and a man in black appeared from the crowd. I knew him. He was the one who was always with Kai. That
Chapter Six Vanessa’s POV I looked at him as if the very sight of him disgusted me. “I hate you,” I spat. “Your heart is dry. You are heartless. Inhumane” Kai grabbed me by the waist. I tried to pry his hands away from me, but they wouldn’t budge. It was like they were made of steel. We were so close to kissing, but I would never let him kiss me. Never! If it were the last thing I did before I die. I glared at him. His eyes hovered over my face, and then his lips curled up in a smile. “I adore you,” I successfully pulled away from him. He pointed outside. “Now go out there and sit pretty for the maids to do their work. With that, he walked out of the room, leaving me standing. My knees slid straight to the floor like they were made of jelly. Tears began to pour from my eyes. I dragged myself like a ragdoll and left his room. It was surreal. I couldn’t believe this was happening. “Miss Vanessa, you are back,” the older maid said with a smug smile as she exchanged a glance with th
Chapter FiveVanessa’s POV Kai moved me to a penthouse, and then he locked me in. I banged on the door till my palm began to bleed. Nobody heard me. No one helped me.The flight back home took more than ten hours. Though I had travelled with Kai in a private jet, I was exhausted by the time we arrived. I hadn’t slept well since the night Kai took me from the house. The next time I opened my eyes, I didn’t need to be told. I was back home. At the pack. The landscape and the heightened senses.It was a house stinking of affluence. Maids and guards and all that royalty. I didn’t want to know how he got the money. All I wanted was to go home. Tears flooded my eyes, and I lay on the bed and began to cry. It hurt so much that my tears did nothing, but that was all I could do.Later that night, there was a knock on the door. I didn’t make a move to open it. They can break it if they want.“Open up, Miss Vanessa, you have to eat something or you will die!” a voice yelled from outside the d
Chapter FourVanessa’s POV I jerked awake. I looked around me. Where was I?“See anything familiar?” I swiftly turned around to find a figure standing in front of a window in the dark. I was on the verge of asking the question ‘who are you?’ when he turned.It was Kai.Kai Vega.And immediately, everything began to flood in.“Where have you brought me?”Kai walked away from the window and came towards me. I backed away further to the end of the bed on the bed.“What are you doing? Stay back! Don’t come any closer,” I yelled.Kai smirked, “I don’t bite Vanessa…yet.” There was a wicked gleam in his eyes. I looked around me, and there was a shoe.“If you come any closer, I’ll throw this on you,” I warned.He chuckled. “I’ll love to see you try, Nessa.”“Stop toying with me, Kai. And don’t call me Nessa.”His gaze grew darker. “I thought you liked it.”That was his pet name for me while we dated. I had asked him to call me that.I looked around the room for any means to escape. It was
Chapter ThreeVanessa’s POV1 week later I watched Eugene, Alena’s father, lie in his bed. His Blankets were pulled high, his frail body lost in the mass of covers. His eyes were closed, and he breathed like one with half a nose.I swallowed.Will he survive this? Oh, I pray he does. I have the money now. I have some money aside from the diamonds. That will be enough for his treatment. I mean, after what he had done for me, he deserves to live. He surely does. No one has ever made me feel wanted like Mr. Eugene after Dad’s passing. It was and still feels like I and Alena are sisters.Staring at him trembled like a leaf broke something in me. Illness had reduced the tall man to this. This thought hardens my hate when I recall how I had robbed my ex-boyfriend.“Nessa!” Alena screamed, and I roughly wiped my tears. And went to clean his room.“Nessa, please can you get the door!”I groaned and dropped the mop. She was closer to the door. Why do I have to be the one to go answer it? I
Chapter Two Vanessa’s POV “Shit” I hissed. Damn that glass. Now I have to announce my presence. I crawled to the back of the door and immediately flipped the light on. Heavy footsteps shook the ground, and I needed no telling who it was. I pulled the gun to the back of his head. “Don't Move,” he froze. Seconds passed before he said another word. “Excuse me,” he slowly turned to face me, and for the one millionth time, I was happy Alena suggested I wear a thick mask. He watched me from head to toe. Accessing me, but no matter how intimidating he looked, my hold on the gun never wavered. Kai Vega stood in front of me. Tall. Broad shoulders. As handsome as ever in a white shirt and black pants. His sleeves were rolled to his arms, just the way I loved them. Men! His very dark hair. His intimidating gray eyes. His slightly pouty lips. Kai had the kind of beauty that made women want to do his will, even without saying a word. Even I was not the exception. Memories flashed through my mi
