Bloodstained Promises Chapter 43 : Danger in the Sky
VanessaThey say that when you hit rock bottom, the only path is up, but for me, I wasn’t sure how true that actually was. One minute I was happy with a man I enjoyed being around more than anything, and the next minute, I was a prisoner to a man who tormented me for years. My freedom was just outside my grasp, and I was thrown into darkness by a drug-induced coma only to awaken feeling heavier than I had before.My eyes fluttered open slowly, hope filling me that Nash would appear at my side any moment, but instead, I was met with leather chairs and dim lighting. Grogginess once again filtered through my mind, and it didn’t matter which way I tried to move, my entire body felt heavy as if a weighted blanket was placed over me, and I couldn’t get comfortable.With my eyes focused, I took in the overhead storage bins with wall-to-wall cream coloring and a variety of other beige leather seats as well as small tables and men. The same men I had seen with Trevor.Oh god…it was t
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 44 : A villa in Greece
I wasn’t sure how long we had driven or where we were going. But the drive to wherever Trevor was taking me was breathtaking. All around me, the sea glistened outside the window of the vehicle. The sun shone off the water, giving it a heavenly glow that I had never seen before. I had always wanted to travel by myself across the ocean to visit the rest of the world, but I had never dared to.The last time I had come across the ocean was with my mother, and Trevor had made even that visit almost unbearable.The vehicle turned off the main road and traveled closer to the sea before turning down another road that led towards a large white mansion on the side of a hill with multiple other buildings around it, followed by a massive stone wall. The place was huge, far bigger than anything I had seen before, and with it, more guards.Except these paced the walls with large guns in their hands, and a look of ‘take no shit’ plastered on their faces as we passed through the gates.“Where
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 45 : Dinner with a Monster
“Thank you everyone for coming,” Trevor’s words rang loud and clear across the twelve-seat cherry wood dining table, standing next to me at the head of the table and addressing the men and women that sat around us. I didn’t know who they were, and I didn’t care to.I had tried to stay in the warmth of the shower for as long as I could, avoiding what was going to end up happening once I was finished, but Sophia wouldn’t allow me that luxury. The moment I stepped outside of the bathroom wrapped in a white fluffy towel, she was waiting for me with the most concerned expression on her gaze as she realized I was far from ready.“Tonight, I want to welcome back the woman I have loved for far too long. She was away at school, and now has returned to take her place by my side while I begin the transition with my father to take his place in leadership.”I didn’t have the slightest fucking clue what he was talking about and honestly, I didn’t care. But I was sick and tired of him telling p
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 46 : Secret Friends
NessaMy night was endless as I had tossed and turned within the lush bed dreading what was to come. I feared that Trevor was going to come to me. That he was going to slip into my bed in the middle of the night forcing himself upon me. The thoughts terrorized me every second of the day and night for a long time in my life. I thought I was strong. That I could fight him and free myself, but every second I spent here locked up waiting, I felt my sanity losing control.Curled up within the thick white blankets, the soft pink silk shorts and top set that was given to me clung to my skin, I contemplated my situation as I had done since I got here.Fighting him was no use, and though I was never one to really wallow in self-pity, I sure as hell was right now. The dark depression that hung over my head was like a gray cloud that I couldn’t get rid of.“Miss…” Sophia’s soft voice echoed from the bedroom doorway. My eyes slowly drifted towards her as I took in the same lonely figure
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 47 : Let the Fires Burn
When she said he was coming, I had expected the same day. Instead, though, it was two days later and I was no less a captive than I had been the day he took me. Every second that trekked on, part of me was losing hope, but a stronger part of me refused to give up. And as for Sophia, I hadn’t seen her in twenty-four hours. The idea that she may have been caught troubled me. She had been nothing but friendly towards me, but what if someone found out that she was plotting with me to escape?Standing in the sunroom of the large villa, the glass walls and roof let the sunshine down on me. The warmth of its rays tried to light the fire in my heart, but no matter the light I felt empty and alone. Trevor hadn’t tried anything with me since that night on the stairs, but every time I was around him, I had to endure his slow caresses against my back and hips that made me want to tear off my skin.I hated him. More than anything in this world, I wished him dead.He had taken to planning our
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 48 : Battle for Love
NashIt had taken too long for me to get to Greece, but now that I was here, I felt a thirst for blood flowing through my veins that I barely recognized. Laying upon the dirt and grass hillside, I peered up through heavy binoculars towards the white villa two hundred yards in front of me. I had been waiting for this moment, and though Brady and I had a plan in place, I was ready to ditch it all and storm in there killing everyone in my path.“Get yourself together, Nash,” he snapped at me from under his breath. “We can’t divert from the plan. That’s what will get us and her killed.”“I know, I know.” Gritting my teeth, I tried to focus on what I was supposed to be doing. I wasn’t usually the person who had to be reminded. In fact, I was always the one snapping at others to get their shit together, but not right now.Right now this situation was too close to home for me. And Vanessa made it hard to think straight.Pushing away the annoying sound of Brady’s warnings, I vi
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 49 : Stone Cold Promises
Fear and panic filled me as Brady dragged me away from the Villa. Away from the chaos out of the south wall where men in dark green and black suits with masks, eyewear, and guns stood waiting for us. My feet halted me at our approach, but they weren’t interested in us. They stared beyond me, from where we had come with their guns raised ready to attack anyone who followed that was a threat to us leaving.“Brady, stop! What are you doing? We can’t leave him.”He spun to face me; his eyes narrowed as he snatched me by my wrist. “I am keeping you safe, Vanessa. Either you follow me willingly, or I will toss you over my shoulder and carry you the rest of the way. Do you understand me?”Brady had never been serious with me before, at least not like this. And as much as I wanted to protest, I didn’t. I let him pull me behind him to the jagged hillside, down towards a wooden staircase that led to the coast. A coast so black that I could barely see my hand in front of my face, but I put
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 50 : Captive
~Two Months Later~Unknown POVEverything had gone as planned, at least in a way. I had worked too hard to play it cool. To pretend that I was using the Knighthood to stay on top. I had never wanted to be part of their games, but when Nash’s interest with the fucking girl, I couldn’t help but use that to my advantage. The mission kept me busy and helped me forget that I would have taken off by now if I could get away with it. Now I just needed time for it all to fall apart.Everything that the Knighthood had taught him had gone out the window the moment he met that girl. I had hoped that I could have gotten him on my side. Gotten him to join my cause and overthrow everyone, but he became too obsessed with claiming her. Instead of being the man he should have been, fighting the cause and minding his own business, he found himself captivated by a girl who only hindered my plans. That was until I found out who she was, and who was connected to her.She was my real reason
