CHAPTER NINE - HE HAS MOVED ON

Amelia's POV

"Did you just... Did you just slap me?"

Drake's indifferent expression confirmed the answer to my question. His eyes held a cold gaze and his arms were folded across his chest.

"Start talking, Amelia. You know how I can get whenever I'm mad. You do not want to mess with me."

I opened my mouth to say something but closed it when no word came out. My cheek had swollen under my palm, evidence of what had just happened. Drake had a bad temper, and I had seen him lash out at staff and those who worked for him. Countless times, I'd intervened. Never for once had I thought I'd be a victim of his bad temper.

The fact that he had just hit me was still shocking. I swallowed on nothing, biting on the insides of my cheek and willing the pain to go away.

"I don't have anything to say to you," I finally said and made a move to walk past him but I was stopped by the pull on my hair. Drake grabbed my hair, yanking me backwards.

    CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT - AROUSEDLucian's POV"Lucian, is Mommy okay?" I heard Camilla's damn voice from the door that I'd locked to make this call. No, I wanted to say. But I wasn't that cruel to kids. I tossed my phone to the side and stood.Camilla's persistent knocking annoyed me. I was at a crossroads, at a loss on what to do for the first time in my life. I was Lucian Moreno.I was the Don. My family had been in control of the clan for centuries going back. We were the force behind the powerful, the fuel of the fast and furious in the high-profile society, the name behind every business at the top. I knew of the killings and the sickening way my father ruled. And I was determined to make a difference when I came into power. And so far, I'd done little harm. I killed when necessary, when it was inevitable. But with everything I did, I had a reason.Amelia Kishi waltzed into my home and made me break that fucking rule.I wasn't supposed to lift a finger in help except... she sold

    CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN - DO WHATEVER YOU DEEM FIT FOR HERAmelia's POVWith every ounce in my body, I pushed Drake off me and slapped him twice. Only the sounds of our heart beating erratically could be heard. Drake's eyes were wide and he still didn't believe I'd just slapped him. "Why? Why did you kiss me?" I asked him in a whisper. I didn't trust myself not to whisper. If I tried... I'd fail and I'd cry. "Amelia, he's your husband!" "I don't care. You promised to take this slow. You hurt me once and I'm not going to let you hurt me again. I... I mean..." I wiped my lips and spat on the floor.Drake's eyes went to the spittle and he frowned."Don't you dare... touch me again. Oh. My. God. This is crazy. I can't stay here with a psycho. A man who doesn't know the meaning of slow. If you're forcefully kissing me now then what about tomorrow? Will you force me to sleep with you?" "Amelia, stop.""What's next? If I don't you'll hurt me?" "You know... I can see through this facade of

    CHAPTER TWENTY SIX - WILL YOU GET PREGNANT AGAIN, AMELIA?Amelia's POV"Why would you want us to get married? I... I mean this is okay, Drake. Baby steps. We are still learning to trust each other." I said to Drake, all my tiredness momentarily forgotten.Drake nodded and walked two steps from the dining table. "Amelia, I know. I know that it will take a lot of time before you can trust me again, like before.""No, you don't know. If you know then you won't ask me to marry you again. What's the essence?" "A public wedding. To show the world and the whole city that you belong to me. That I have the prettiest bride around me..."Bastard! You don't and will never own me. Fuck this man. "There's no need for...""Amelia, please. I have arranged everything." That statement made my ears perk up. I frowned, this time not masking how I really felt. What did he mean by he made arrangements?"Drake... We are still married. If I can remember, we didn't have an annulment. I... I can't do this w

    CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE - WILL YOU MARRY ME AGAIN?Amelia's POV"Lucian," I whispered, "Are you saying... are you saying that Drake... that he's killed them?"Lucian's silence was more damning than any words could have been. I felt a cold sweat break out on my skin. To be honest, I knew of Drake's dubious ways in business but... This? To think that he.."Wait, how long has this been going on? We've been married since five years. I... I never noticed.""Amelia, according to the dirt we have on him, it's been six years. Which means that he's been doing this even when married to you. He not just killed. He tortured them, as it seems."I swallowed hard. "Why... why would he do that? What purpose could that possibly serve?""You should know that. When you met him, he was so bent on destroying Jeremy right? He'd do anything for power. And control.""But... Lena. The maid. You think he's abusing her too?"Lucian nodded. "It's likely. Drake has a pattern. I think he preys on those who can't fight

    CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR - THEY WERE SEXUALLY ABUSEDAmelia's POVLucian paused, his dark eyes darting between me and Seraphina, who was smirking. I sighed and reached for the first button of his shirt. My fingers shook as I undid it, and he watched me closely, breathing steadily despite the blood that was soaking his sleeve. Moving closer, my hands brushed against his chest as I worked my way down the buttons. When I finally pulled the shirt off, I tossed it onto the desk and turned toward the door. "Where are you going?" Seraphina asked.“Getting the first aid kit,” I didn't bother to glance back at her. “I need to tend to his wound.”“Forget about Lucian. It’s just a scratch.”I halted, turning back to her. “Just a scratch? You threw a knife at him! It hurt him.”With a dramatic sigh, she said, “Amelia, have you learned nothing? If you want to be part of this world, you need to think and act like us.”She walked over to the desk, picked up the knife, and my stomach churned as I watched

    CHAPTER TWENTY THREE - TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF, LUCIANAmelia's POVI was pacing around the room like a caged animal would, as my mind raced a million miles a minute. My hands trembled even as I couldn't stop fidgeting.Okay... I took a deep breath. Jeremy knows about one kid. Just one. He has no clue I had twins for him. That's a start, right? It'll make things easier. Maybe.I grabbed my head, trying to calm the storm inside me, when my phone buzzed on the desk. I moved to pick it up, but then I heard murmurs from the office opposite mine.Some staff were whispering. "Did you see her? Kissing the boss on her first day." One of them said. Another chimed in, "No shame at all. Who does that? Probably slept her way up to this position."I winced. Why? Why did people who knew nothing about me feel the need to assume? I turned to Isadora, who was sitting at her desk and ignoring my existence. She hadn't even glanced at me once. Sharing an office with her was nauseating. I'd have to talk to L
