The night was quiet. Too quiet.

The air was cool, soft, and gentle as it blew through the half–opened window. The moonlight flowed into Elena’s room like a silver river, touching her skin, her hair, her pillow.

Everything felt peaceful and calm as laid on her side, curled on the bed.

After the long day in court, her body had been trembling nonstop. She couldn’t forget the look on Alex’s face no matter how much she tried. Malik knew this so he choose to stay behind.

He laid beside her, patting her to sleep. His hand was warm above hers. He brushed her hair gently.

No matter how much she repeatedly told him she was fine, he still stayed.

She hugged him, curling herself in his embrace.

Malik didn’t hesitate to wrapped his arms around her.

For a moment, Elena felt safe, protected and secured.

She smiled softly as she buried her face on his chest.

It was late at the middle of the night when Elena woke up slightly.

Something felt different.

She wasn’t fully awake, her mind drifted between

  • DEADLY SEDUCTION    Chapter 119 — The Monster Behind the Mask

    Malik’s apartment was in total turmoil.Nothing was in its right place anymore. It was as quiet as a graveyard but yet the air felt so disturbed. Like something terrible had already happened and was still happening at the same time.Claudia paced around the living room endlessly, her steps quick and uneven. She bit her lips continuously. Worry and concern filled her face. She looked restless and unsettled. Her hands shook each time she rubbed them together.She could not stay still.Malik, on the other side of the sitting room, sat on one of the cushions near the wall. He looked calm, but it was the kind of calm that comes before something breaks. His elbows rested on his knees. His hands were clasped tightly together.Anyone who truly knew him could see it.He was more worried than anyone else in the room.Mr. Clarkson sat opposite him, phone pressed tightly to his ear. His voice was controlled, but his eyes betrayed him.“Yes… thank you,” he said slowly. “Please, we will be waiting

    The darkness felt around her felt heavy, pulling and suffocating.It pressed against Elena’s chest and lungs, making it hard to breathe. Her head throbbed painfully, like something was knocking inside her skull again and again. She groaned softly and tried to turn on the bed.But she couldn’t.Her body refused to move.Panic crept in slowly.She tried again.But still couldn’t move freely.Her hands felt numb. Her legs felt stiff. Fear rushed through her veins like cold water.Elena forced her eyes open.The room was dim and strange. The walls were bare and grey. The air smelled old. Damp. Nothing looked familiar. This wasn’t her room. This wasn’t Malik’s house.Her heart began to race.She tried to lift her hands—and that was when she felt it.Rope.Tied tightly around her wrist abs ankle. Burning against her skin.Her hands were tied, Pulled back. Fixed to the bed frame. Her legs were tied too. Wrapped together so tightly she couldn’t even spread her knees.“No… no… no…” she whisper

    “This isn’t over, Elena. This case is only just beginning.”Alex’s came out shaper and more threatening than ever, his voice shook with rage. He walked past her with slow, heavy steps, and his eyes never left her for a second. He gave her a cold, violent stare. His eyes were saying so many things at the same time. It felt like he was carving threats into her skin without touching her.Malik leaned forward, the moment Alex got closer. He hid Elena behind him like she was his special treasure he needed to protect.He glared back at Alex. His eyes were warning him not to try anything funny.But still Alex eyes didn’t cut from Elena.Elena held her ground even though her heart raced. She refused to look away. She didn’t even blink. She stared back at him with all inner confidence. A tiny smile of victory curved on her lips.She stood first with her arms crossed, showing no sign of weakness or defeat.This time, she refuse to be controlled and scared.But the moment Alex turned his back, h

  • DEADLY SEDUCTION    CHAPTER 115 -The Blow That Seals His Fate

    Alex knew that the question had been coming. But there was nothing he could do to stop it. He glanced at Sean, and somewhat regretted the fact that he hadn't been prepped for the possible questions Elena's lawyer was going to ask him. At that moment, he looked lost, tired even. “Mr. Greyson?”“I hit her once. Just once, out of anger and the inability to control my emotions.”An uproar came from the crowd and Judge Freda slammed her gavel in a bid to control the noise.“Three more questions before you can leave the stand, Mr. Greyson.”Mr. Clarkson looked like a man who was enjoying himself and every bit of the examination. Alex, on the other hand, felt like a man who had been corned. So far, his examination was the worst of the two between him and Elena. “Mr. Greyson, can you describe what happened on the day your wife decided that she was going to get a divorce?”Alex nodded, acknowledging that the question was safe enough for him to answer without giving it much thought. “It w

    Alexander Greyson gazed at Elena's lawyer, and back to Sean. He knew how lawyers operated. He knew that his answer could implicate him further, and he had to be careful when replying.He cleared his throat, glancing at Sean and Judge Freda for help.Sean stood, his hand raised.“Objection, your honour. The petitioner is asking my clients personal questions that will no doubt invade his privacy. My client is a public figure and as such…”Judge Freda shook her head.“Objection overruled, Mr. Sean. Your client has the right to answer those questions in the court. He has agreed to say the truth and nothing but the truth, and that is what he will do.”Mr. Clarkson, Elena's lawyer, smiled at him.“Mr. Greyson, I'll repeat my question. Did you ever delete messages or hide messages from your wife while you were still married?”Alex shook his head.“I never hid anything from my wife during our marriage.”Mr. Clarkson smiled hugely, and at that moment, Alex knew he had made a mistake.“Before I
