Draven's POV

Draven's eyes burned with a volatile mix of rage, grief, and lust as he loomed over Linda on the bed. Her body glistened from the tub water, her chest heaving with anticipation. She reached for him, fingers grazing his hardening cock, but he slapped her hand away sharply.

"You want rough? You want all of it?" His voice was a low growl, laced with the resentment he'd bottled up for years.

Renee was gone—dead because of the life he'd led, the secrets, the lies. And here was Linda, h

  • Burning The Creed Empire   Ten Fold

    Renee's Pov“Mrs. R?” “Mrs. R can you hear me? Are you following?” The therapist’s nagging voice just wouldn't let me think. “Huh?”“I asked when was the last time you heard from your husband?”I groaned inwardly. And now we are back here again. Asking about the husband. “I don't… know. Can't recall…” I stuttered because I was harbouring thoughts of making Draven suffer for the pain he'd caused me. “This won't do. We have to call him, get him involved. His involvement should help with the healing process.” She concluded, leaning forward and probably expecting me to place a call to the nonexistent husband. “Remind me why we need him again?” I asked, shaking my head slightly to push the thoughts of him away from my mind. “Studies showed that the involvement of one's partner helps them recover.”“And what am I recovering from?”She paused with her mouth slightly open like she was stunned by my question.“You lost a child Mrs. R. You went through a lot of shock and unpleasant feeli

  • Burning The Creed Empire   Quick Relief

    Draven's PovThat night, he avoided his mother's calls and he also didn't sleep at home. The relief he felt from terrifying the Glitz empire girl was enough to make him have a sound sleep that night. But his peace of mind was only uninterrupted for one night. The next day, his mother was at his office before he even arrived. “What?” He groaned when he saw her in his office. She was sitting on his chair and had already seen him so he couldn't turn around or walk out of the office. “What time did you even get here? Did you even sleep last night?” He asked with sarcastic concern in his voice. “You never pick your calls so my presence will be your punishment.” She replied curtly. “What did you do to Hilda?” She asked and he looked confused at first. “Who the Hell's Hilda?” She didn't reply. Instead her expression grew colder. “Oh, the glitz girl. I went on a date with her. Why?” Again, she hesitated for a few seconds. “Then why did she suddenly change her mind after one date with

  • Burning The Creed Empire   The Scare Plan

    Draven’s PovThe ambience of the restaurant was giving what a five star restaurant should give. Draven sat with a grim face waiting for his date to arrive. She did in less than five minutes. She was clad in a blue dress with exaggerated shoulder pads. Her hair was parked in a neat bun, every strand carefully tucked behind her ears. Her makeup was minimal but still loud enough to announce itself. Her skin was pale, her steps measured. Everything seemed so perfect, rehearsed. “Are you…?” She asked, cocking her head to the side. Draven nodded once and she took it as a cue to settle down. “Did you order anything yet?” She asked, even her voice sounded fake, staged to get him curious or impressed. But he craved Renee's imperfections even more in that moment. The way her hair fell out of her messy bun and the way she tucked it behind her ears every minute while she presented projects. Or the way she always missed a button or the way her shirt hated getting tucked into her pants.

  • Burning The Creed Empire   New Draven

    Draven’s Pov“Your mom's calling…” Draven's male assistant, Ero, informed him but he waved his hand expressing the lack of interest in taking the call. It was now a usual occurrence as Draven rarely picked calls so all the calls had to go through his assistant. Ero declined the call and tried to act as though it meant nothing but another call came in again from his mother. He lifted the phone mid air with a smirk. “Boss?”Draven waved his hand again signalling him to end the call. Ero leaned forward with a sigh. “Are you going to continue avoiding her like this?”Draven ignored him, focusing on the work in front of him. “Aren't you going to hear what she has to say at least?” He asked again, making Draven squeeze the sides of his eyes. “Yeah, no. My mother never has anything good to say. It has to be this way, Ero. ‘Preciate your concern though.”Ero shook his head. Draven's reply didn't sit well with him but there wasn't much he could do. “Did you submit those files to me ear

  • Burning The Creed Empire   Empty Heart

    ReneeStanding in the streets of a strange country provided a strange relief. I thought I'd be feeling hurt because I left my family, identity and everything I'd ever known. But it's quite the opposite. I felt free. As I hung the little bag I could manage to escape with over my shoulder, I walked the streets of Takayama. It's a beautiful mountain town with old streets, traditional houses, and a slower pace of life. It feels hidden from the modern world and would be perfect for a woman escaping her past.It's one of the most beautiful towns in Japan. Draven would never be able to find me here no matter where he looked. Besides, I set up a pretty good alibi and he must think I'm dead and gone by now. This place is just perfect for rebuilding and healing. After minutes of walking and taking a cab, I finally arrived at my cabin. It's a small wooden house on the outskirts of Takayama where the wind speaks to you and the mountains greet you every time of the day. It was just like I'd

  • Burning The Creed Empire   Change

    Draven's POVHe hated funerals. When his father died years ago when he was younger, he clutched his mother's hands like it was the only thing keeping him sane. And when his grandfather passed, he couldn't bring himself to look at the corpse. It was just that feeling of unease that settled within him whenever he was at funerals. Renee was the person who came to his aid, holding his hands and filling in for him whenever he zoned out. Now, he was standing before her corpse. Clad in a crisp black suit, a dark shade covering his eyes. Both hands were buried in his pockets and his gaze fixated on the corpse in the open coffin. He contemplated not taking a glimpse but he knew that he would live the rest of his life in regret if he didn't see her one last time. Draven stood there, fists tightened in his pockets, teeth gritting hard as he looked at the burnt figure that looked nothing like his wife. The skin was totally burnt and melted. Even the face and hair. Nothing could be salvaged,
