Her heart quivered and jumped in her chest. Her eyes widened when he let her go, stepping back. Ava hurriedly jumped down only to lose balance and was about to fall but grabbed the chair to support herself, she didn't realize that her legs were jello. A sinister smile teased his lips, so evil that her soul shivered. She took a shaky step away from him and his head snapped to her. The scathing look in his eyes terrified her as she attempted to bolt from there but he seized her elbow and pulled her to him. She came slamming into his solid chest as he held her close. "Let him in, I'll be there with his most prized possession." He mused. "Let me go, Aiden. We can talk things out. I'll talk to my dad. He'll leave his job. We'll go far away from you, my father would not hurt any of your people. We would never show our face to you ever again-" She abruptly stopped when his hold on her elbow tightened to the point of crushing her bone. "You don't know anything, Ava. So keep your mouth
Aiden didn't like her. He was just curious. She was beautiful. Young. Innocent. And that was it to all this bullshit. He had kissed her the first time and it wasn't anything extraordinary. It wasn't bad either. He had his fair share of women and like all of them, Ava fell for his charms the moment she set her eyes on him. Boring. F*cking bland. He did make out with her a couple of times. Where Aiden loved to dominate his partner in bed, he enjoyed her innocent parade. The way she would jolt and gasp at each of his touches. She would tremble and respond. Her body worshiped his touch. The way her eyes would twinkle after their kisses and make-out sessions. She was small and fit perfectly in his arms. Too fragile for his liking. Often he felt as if he would touch her hard enough and she might shatter like a China doll. Though she does resemble a doll somehow. Maybe because of her small frame and wavy honey locks. He loves her hair. So long, soft, and wavy. When they were toget
"Where were you yesterday?" Vanessa asked as Ava set the brownies on the tray. Ava got to work first thing in the morning. She wanted out of that place to breathe a little. Last night she cried herself to sleep. She didn't even eat anything. Mr. Taylor was kind enough to bring her breakfast in her room this morning. Ava kept herself locked in her room the whole time after her father left. She got a call from him and he assured her that everything would get better and he'll save her. Ava begged him to take Annie and leave, he assured her that Annie was safe and also advised her to law low, not to trigger Aiden, and try to stay out of his way, he would forget about her soon. Jacob also said that he was trying to get help from the authorities to get her out of there. Ava asked him about the experiments that Aiden mentioned but Jacob diverted the subject back on her. He assured her that he'll save her soon. Only after that did she fall asleep because she was too drained and hungry thou
She was able to convince Evan to leave. He was persistent so she assured him that she'd think about the whole escaping ordeal and only then he left. Vanessa asked her who the guy was so she lied to her that he was a friend from her hometown. Van seemed to believe her but she did question why her eyes were red-rimmed as if she cried. Ava lied again, saying she got emotional seeing him. Ava took a cab back to Aiden's place though every pore of her body yearned to go back to her apartment but she couldn't. She didn't want to risk his wrath to befall her. It took her more than an hour to get back. She sighed upon seeing the absurd amount of land she had to cover just to reach the mansion from the front gates. Many thoughts were raking through her mind. Evan's proposal to escape this hell was too appealing and tempting. Ava may have accepted her fate but the more she stayed with Aiden the more she'd ruin her heart and soul. It was a constant torture. From what she gathered from
He half expected her to cry or to make a run for her life if the amount of fear in her eyes was considered. She did none of them. The little kitten that now flaunts her claws at him any chance she got glared at him. Pretty little challenge. He was a bit surprised when her hand shot up and she pulled over her shirt forcing him to move back enough to give her space. His jaw ticked but he showed no further emotion, instead, he locked them in and regarded her with a blank gaze. His eyes fixed on her face as she didn't back down from the intense eye lock. She hooked her fingers on the waistband of her trousers and let them pool around her feet, stepping out of them she jutted her chin out in defiance. The fiery fight in her completely overcame the fear and he f*cking hated how his c*ck twitched in his pants. "Open your hair," He must've lost his f*cking mind to demand such things from her. She was just in her black cotton undies that looked ethereal on her creamy unblemished skin whi
Circling her wrist he tugged her to him. The little dove came crashing into him. He pushed her against the wall, entrapping her in the same position from earlier but she wasn't a docile little kitten anymore, she was fighting him tooth and nail, trying to punch his face, first, she slapped him which he disregarded and let it slip and now she was ready to punch him. She was turning into a fierce tigress. "Let go of me!" She demanded coldly, enraged. Of course, she was mad. He denied her orgasm. Poor thing was fuming and he loved it. He was hard for her and intend to end the whole shit before her climax but that single f*cking tear did it for him. His control f*cking snapped. His hand found home where it was just a minute ago and her sharp voice melted into a whimper when he touched her folds. She was more sensitive than before. This time he used two fingers and her eyes widened. She was so tight. He grabbed a fist full of her hair and jerked her head back. "This is what you want
A week had passed and Ava had avoided Aiden like a plaque. She left early and got back late. He didn't punish her for going to work again. Thanks to her fate for showing mercy on her. He had disappeared to God knows where. Evan had visited her twice at the bakery in the last week. She told him that she agreed to escape with him and he was glad, he even told her she made the right choice. Though she had made her decision, the lingering fear was still haunting her. She was scared of the possible outcome if they got caught. But she couldn't lose this opportunity because of that fear. Her father and Annie were safe, she might not get this possibility of escaping ever again and she refused to surrender to her fate like this. Ava greeted the customers with a polite smile. She was waiting for Evan to show up any minute. He had planned everything from her fake passport to their secret conveyance. The authorities were helping him. They would leave the country on a private jet and would st
Aiden took a long drag of his cigarette, eyes fixed solely on the girl lying defenseless in his bed. Crushing the end of his cigarette in the ashtray he made his way towards his destination. The fragile-looking girl in his bed. Aiden only let her go to work because he tracked her every move, from when she left the mansion to the time she got back home, he was monitoring her. The persistent mild beeping of her location in the background as he continued to do his work kept reminding him she was in the perimeter all the time. He knew the guy she met with for which he punished her was Evan. Lilith's student who was now working under Jacob. He was the one who escorted Ava to the airport back at Saltillo, he saw it in one of the footage that his men provided him. Aiden was notified as soon as Ava moved from the bakery and he watched like a fuming hawk when the GPS showed her location approaching the airport. He was on the move. He found them but Ava had bolted into the woods and when
