LOGINChapter Six.
BRENDA
His words kept flowing like the Darkest symphony in my ears as I tried replaying everything.
āYou asked to marry me?ā I asked again to be sure.
He couldn't be serious, right?
There was no way my enemy would want to marry me, highly impossible was an understatement.
āYes! I am currently awaiting their response! I doubt that they'll deny me!ā His cocky voice came and I frowned.
āHow is that possible!? You can't marry me!ā I yelled frantically, The Cuffs around my ankles, dangling over my sudden forceful pull.
His proud smirk was still intact and that alone made me feel like disfiguring his whole face all together.
He was annoyingly Handsome.
āHave you forgotten our deal, princess?ā He asked and I blinked.
āYou aren't taking it seriously, are you?ā I asked, still pulling at the cuffs and he grinned.
A sadistic kind of grin that made me shiver.
I want him to have zero effect on me but it's so hard when I am the one tied to a fùcking bed!
āMy parents would never sell me out to you, they love me so much!ā I said and he Rolled eyes.
āI'm pretty sure that shouldn't be coming from someone who ran away from a wedding, ARRANGED by her parents!ā He said and I glared at him.
He was right.
Not accepting defeat anyways, I continued.
āYou're the enemy! I'm pretty sure my parents wouldn't allow you to have me, they are going to do every sane and insane thing possible to get me back!ā
I mumbled and I seemed to have had him stuck.
I thought I had won, I really did, until he said.
āWell then! I'll just have to kill you!ā
My eyes widened immediately.
āKill me?ā I asked, Shocked how an harmless conversation could turn so bloody.
Okay, maybe not that harmless.
āThat's what I told your parents! I mean, if they can't hand you over to me instead of that old mafia, who's dƬck is probably decayed, then you might as well be dead!ā
The words rolled out sinfully from his thin lips and All I could do was stare.
I've faced a lot of missions in my life, but this..this seemed like the hardest.
I've been caught and trapped by the same person who killed my brother, Austin for coming to negotiate with him and now he's threatening to kill me too if I don't marry him?
What the fùck goes on in this psychoās head!
āPlease!ā I started slowly and he arched an eyebrow.
If I kept cussing, he could just bring out a gun and there goes my gut!
If I keep pulling, the sharp edges of the handcuffs would dig deeper into my skin and more blood would flowā¦literally.
So I resorted to the forbidden technique that I've never used before.
Ever.
Pleading.
āPlease what?ā He asked, sitting up as if interested.
āPlease let go of me! Okay! I promise that my family would have nothing to do with your clan from now on! Just let me go!ā I said, resisting the urge to cry.
Nothing would make me look weak in front of this scumbag.
Nothing!
He ignored me as he stood up, walking out of the room.
I watched his back view for a while till he disappeared behind closed doors and I finally let my tears out.
I don't cry in front of people, Mama had always told me to not show my emotions in front of anyone, especially the enemy.
But now that he's gone, I couldn't control it anymore.
Maybe if I hadn't run from the marriage.
If I had stayed and married that old fatty.
Maybe then, everything would have been alright.
But then, I remember kaden's words earlier.
āDidn't he tell you I would be coming for you? I was hoping you would put up a fight but you hopedd on my bike as if you were expecting me!ā
Had he come to kill me at my wedding?
Was that the reason why he had been waiting outside?
Well, I did kill one of his men so it wouldn't be a surprise but then..
Did I really escape death but hoping on his bike?
The questioned lingered in my head as I rested by head to sleep but None came, I had a chilly feeling running down my spine and I needed Noone to tell me that Kaden was back in the room and staring at him from behind.
That darn fùcker.
I tried all I could to sleep but my eyes but that wasn't happening,
Being in the same room with your enemy?
What if he just decides to pick up a pillow and suffocate me at night?
I chuckled at my silliness, A bloodthirsty beast like Kaden would never kill with a pillow, unless that pillow was filled with acid and laced with toxic chemicals able to gorge my eyes out.
I chuckled yet again.
āWhat are you thinking about that is so funny, princess?ā His voice came, low and nearly taunting.
I rolled my eyes and replied, still not looking at yourself.
āNone of your business, bloody psycho!ā
I could feel his unending smirk and I just know he likes it.
That psycho loves me cussing at him.
He was crazy, even more crazy than me.
* * *
Like I suspected, I wasn't able to sleep with that fùcker's gaze on me and immediately I felt the warm sunlight from the only window in the room, indicating that it was dawn, I sat up.
My eyes hurt so much and i can already imagine them red and puffy.
I yawned out, sleepily and turned, surprised to see Kaden still staring at me.
Is he a vampire or something?
Doesn't he sleep?
āYou look so good in the morning, princess!ā
I knew it was a joke.
A taunt.
A mock.
Nothing good can ever come out of his mouth.
āHungry?ā He asked and I gave him a sour gaze.
āNope! For all I know you could have the food poisoned!ā I snapped and he smirked again.
Gosh! Is there a DIY on how to wipe that cocky thing off his lips?
āYou think so low of me, Princess! It's hurtful!ā He said, Standing up as he took wide strides towards him.
When he got close enough, I struggled angrily, forgetting the handcuffs that were still around my wrist.
Kaden brought his lips closer to my ears and whispered.
āIf you don't want to eat food, however you eat something else instead, remember what I told you at the woods? You could replace Sasha and suck on my ÄicÄ·! I'm madly horny after watching you sleep all night!ā
Chapter 190_Kadenās POVWe finally got to my mansion. I carried Brenda from the car and took her to my room while Kira and Jace followed behind. After I successfully placed Brenda inside the room, I told kira and Jace to have a rest, tomorrow will be their judgement day.I went downstairs and told my men to drive to the warehouse.At the warehouse, my men carried Gabe inside and removed the veil. His eyes opened slowly. His eyes were Dangerous, angry and defiant. He tried to size me up with his expression, but I smirked, amused by the fire still burning in him.āPour the water on him,ā I said.Cold water hit his face. His eyes opened widely involuntarily, coughing violently, spitting and sputtering. Blood mixed with water on his lips. His eyes snapped to mine again, wide with rage. But that amused me even more.āWhereās the immoral pic? The video of Brenda?ā I asked.He said nothing. He Just stared at me with his teeth clenched and fury in every line of his face.I said. "I'm not goi
Chapter 189Kadenās POV_I kept checking the mirror, checking Brenda, and checking the sides. Kira is also asleep onlyJace was awake pressing his phone.āKaden⦠something is wrong.āBefore I even asked what she meant, I saw the headlights behind us. Bright, Fast andAggressive. It swerved once, then aligned straight behind us.Brendaās hands flew to her mouth.āItās Gabe⦠I know itās him.āI didnāt doubt her. The way the car was coming didnāt look random. The speed was too good. Hewas chasing us with everything he had.I hit the gas, but we were still far from the others. The road stretched ahead like it wasnāt ending.I called Jace, snapped at him to get ready. We had little time. I told him called Lucas to block theroad. He said they were almost at the meeting point.Brenda kept shaking her head.āHe wonāt stop, Kaden. He wonāt.āāI know,ā I said.āLet him come.āHis car got closer. I could see movement through the windshield. More than one person. Gabedidnāt come alone. He
CHAPTER 188Gabeās POV_I couldnāt stop lashing at myself for missing the one chance to sleep with Brenda. The angerwouldnāt leave my chest. I kept replaying everything and asking myself who the hell the guy thatsaved her was. How did he even show up? And how did he manage to get her out?I called my men immediately and ordered them to search everywhere and bring both Brendaand the guy to me. I didnāt care how long it took, they just needed to show results.But they returned empty-handed.Seeing them standing there with nothing made my blood boil.āAre you serious?ā I snapped.āJust two people. Two. And you couldnāt get them?ā My voice was loud enough to make some ofthem flinch. They had no excuses, nothing to offer me, just useless faces staring back.I cursed under my breath and stormed toward the car. My head was still aching from earlier, andthe pain only made my irritation worse. I slammed the door shut and drove home angrily, stillcursing that guy for hitting me hard enou
CHAPTER 187KADENāS POV_The street was quiet when we arrived at a place. The people were not chasing us any longer. Ihad no idea where we were but I hope to see a car soon. Darkness had settled over the city,broken only by a single flickering lamppost. Brenda clung to my jacket, half-dressed andtrembling. Her weight pressed against me, weak but alive.Then I later saw Jace and Kira waiting. Relief hit Brenda. She stumbled forward, nearly falling,and I grabbed her by the shoulders to steady her.āItās okay. You are safe now,ā I said. My chest is still burned from the race. The anger inside mehadnāt gone away. Not completely. But seeing her strong made it manageable.Brenda sank into the passenger seat as soon as I opened the door, clutching my jacket asthough it were her only lifeline.āKaden⦠I⦠Iām sorry,ā she said, voice breaking.āI should havetold you everything earlier. I didnāt mean for you to find out like this.āI didnāt answer immediately. Part of me wanted to yel
CHAPTER 186KADENāS POV_The black SUV stopped in front of us. I froze. Brenda pressed herself against me, trembling. Icould hear her shallow breaths.I crouched low behind the dumpster. My heart slammed against my chest, but I forced myself tothink. One wrong move, and weād both be dead. I tried to make sense of the situation. Therewere at least three men inside. I couldnāt see their faces, just the dark shadows of their headsthrough the tinted windows.āStay behind me,ā I whispered. My voice was calm, but my body was tense. She nodded,gripping my jacket tightly.The SUV doors opened slowly. The first man stepped out. The second followed, keeping hishand near his waist. I counted three in total, all moving toward us.I knew we couldnāt fight all of them at once. I scanned the area. The alley ran to the left. A pile ofcrates could give us cover. A narrow side street was a few meters ahead. I had to move fast,and I had to get her out before they closed the distance.I reached
CHAPTER 185KADENāS POV_My chest felt tight the whole drive. Every bad thought kept hitting me one by one. I keptimagining Brenda crying. I kept imagining the ex dragging her. I kept imagining her alone. Ihated every second of it.I entered the town and drove straight to the house she had been staying in and pulled over. Thefront door of the place was wide open, and Kira was kneeling on the floor, crying into her palms.Jace was pacing back and forth like a mad person.My heart dropped. That told me everything.I slammed the car door and ran toward them.āWhat happened?ā I demanded.āWhere is she?āKira looked up. Her eyes were swollen and red."So tell me, what have you gathered about the guy.""Nothing" I shouted at them. Don't tell me nothing.āEverything happened too fast,ā Kira said.āWe tried following the car, but we lost it.āāTell me everything you saw,ā I said.āEverything. Donāt leave anything out.āJace sucked in a breath.went toward the industrial area.āāBlac
