Elodie's POV

We didn’t drive for long before the car swerved left onto a private road. The smooth pavement stretched far ahead as the tires glided over it.

Tall trees and long grass lined both sides of the road, their shade casting a cool, quiet stillness over the path.

I slowly stroked my knees, my heart beating in my chest loudly. It was extremely frustrating that I didn't know where we were going, where we were, or why he made me tag along.

Asking him wasn't an option. Not only would he ign

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 51: Collection Of Souvenirs

    Valiente's POV Staring at the one place I'd vowed never to return to brought back so many memories. The ones I'd spent years burying deep inside me. The ones that tormented me each passing night. And the ones too painful to remember.Why had I agreed to my father's request so easily? Not like I cared about his invitation. Oh yeah, he'd threatened to kill my 'new toy'. His words. Not mine.A threat so feeble wouldn't tickle my nerve even though it was directed towards me. I hadn't come because I was terrified of losing Little Red. Or because I was afraid of what my father would do.Annoyance was what I'd felt. That he had dared to threaten someone under my roof and protection.He'd sent his precious wife to call me, knowing I wouldn't give a single fuck if he'd asked himself. His calls wouldn't have been answered even.He hasn't reached out since I left this prison years ago. And suddenly, he had something important for me?This better be something important, or else...My fists cl

It was extremely frustrating that I didn't know where we were going, where we were, or why he made me tag along.Asking him wasn't an option. Not only would he ignore me. But I wanted to avoid speaking to him as much as possible.My eyes fluttered softly as I exhaled.The car came to a slow stop. I’d been awake for almost the entire journey, but somewhere along the last stretch of road, I’d drifted off.Made me wonder how long the private road was.I blinked a few times before looking out the window. My breath caught immediately.A massive wrought-iron gate stood open before us, leading to an estate even grander than Valiente’s.The driveway curved throug

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 49: Private Jet

    Elodie's POV The next day came like a rush of wind. A black SUV drove carelessly through the smooth grounds of the road, the engine roaring as the driver stepped on the gas.I was in the back seat with Valiente, my body pressed against the door, trying all possible ways to make myself small and unnoticeable.Maybe it was working. Because he hadn't glanced my way in the fifteen minutes we've been on the road.Or maybe it wasn't. And I wasn't that interesting to look at. Either way, I was glad. Thinking of his gaze on me made my skin crawl, and fear seep in.The mood in the car was still and gloomy. I could perceive the tension from Valiente. His jaw was locked painfully, brows in a deep frown, and his right hand wrapped in a tight fist.In his left hand were a box of cigarettes and a black lighter. He'd been holding them since this trip started, hesitant to light a cigar.I pulled my gaze away from him and stared outside the window. Different vehicles filled the highway, with many dr

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 48: Friday

    Elodie's POV 'The lesson worked.' 'The lesson worked.' Those words kept on replaying in my head, like it was on a loop. Like it was meant to torment me. And it was. My gaze remained on Valiente as I tried to keep my breathing normal. My jaw hurt from how hard my teeth were clenched. I crossed my arms over my chest. Disdain filled my eyes and I made sure he saw it. Made sure he knew it was for him. "Yeah, your lesson worked," I said, holding his gaze in a glare. "It made me realize how messed up a person you are." My words didn't faze him. Not even a single crack in character. If anything, his grin only widened. "Only just realizing? He clicked his tongue, shaking his head. The sarcasm in his voice was impossible to miss. "Little Red," he called, "I thought I made that painfully obvious from the beginning?" A small surprised scoff came out of me. What a psycho. He started walking towards me again. My breath caught, but I stood still, arms still crossed. The grin on his f

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 47: Defiant Eyes

    Elodie’s POVI followed two steps behind the butler, staying quiet as he led me to where Valiente was.The hallway seemed strangely long this morning. Never-ending. Or maybe it was just my nerves getting the better of me.My stomach twisted with every step I took.I couldn’t stop thinking about what Valiente wanted from me. Why would he send for me this early? Trying to understand the way his mind worked was impossible.The only way I could guess what he was thinking… was to be a sadist like him.I sighed quietly, pulling my cream-colored longline cardigan tighter around myself.The mansion was unusually peaceful at this hour. The servants we passed bowed politely before continuing with their work. Some carried fresh flowers, and silver trays for breakfast. A few whispered amongst each other in Spanish, their eyes briefly glancing toward me. I frowned, knowing they were probably gossiping about the hunt.Other than that, everything else looked so… normal as though the forest wasn’t

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 46: Assumption Seemed Wrong

    Elodie's POV The cat looked up at me. It was sitting on the narrow balcony, its tail flicking nervously.I frowned. What was it doing there? Shouldn't the maids be keeping an eye on him?The balcony wasn’t connected to my room. It was part of the room next door, but from where I stood, I could see that the poor thing had somehow climbed onto it and couldn’t figure out how to get down.“Sombra," I called, a little louder this time. The cat’s ears twitched. I stretched my hand through the bars. “Come here.”Sombra stared at me, then hissed.I pulled my hand back immediately, a scoff pushing out of me. “Okay. Rude.”The cat turned its head away. Like I was the least of its worries.I sighed, licking my lips to calm myself.“Look, I know you don’t like me," I tried again. "Trust me, the feeling is mutual. But we’re both trapped here, so maybe we can help each other?”Sombra glanced at me, then its bright eye moved to the ground and back at me. It moved its foot forward and almost slipped

    Elodie's POVThey say one’s instinct is never wrong, and I should have listened to mine. That gut feeling that twisted my stomach the moment Colin showed me those tickets for this trip, that terrible nightmare I had that night—it was right. I was right to feel that way.The first thing I felt was t

    Elodie’s POV: What could be the harshest form of heartbreak?Death? Not really.A cheating partner? I don’t think so either.Probably when your boyfriend—the one you’ve dated for two and a half years. The one who you would love to spend the rest of your life with. The one who prepared a trip to Ha

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 5: A Handsome Devil

    Elodie's POV I felt a sharp sting on my skin, followed by a low buzz from the tattoo gun. The needle pierced through the flesh of my lower abdomen, digging deep. Finally reacting, I twisted on the bed. Wrong move. Because she pressed my thighs apart, hard, and a sob tore out of me. I shouldn't l

    Elodie's POVI stayed frozen, clutching the blanket to my chest. My heart was pounding so fast I thought I’d pass out. The man turned his eyes to me then. For a second, I couldn’t tell if he was another monster or if I’d just been saved by one.He exhaled slowly, rubbing his forehead as if trying
