Chapter Eighteen
After Roman's family-owned the plane landed on the Tierra del Diablo tarmac. A parade of luxury cars parked idly a few meters away from us, awaiting our arrival. While the convoy of security stood in attention, creating a path towards the car we'll be riding back into the palace. As we neared the black SUV, Simon, the head of the team opened the back passenger door for us.
“Welcome back Princess Victoria, Master Roman.” He said just as Roman finished helping me buckled up on my seat. I nodded, smiling at the battle-hardened man.
His face immediately softened with fatherly affection as he gaze at me. “I hoped your travel had been wonderful Princess.”
I grinned at him, “It's worth all the trouble, Simon.”
“I'm sure,” he murmured, patting my hand resting on my knee.
After a second Roman's arm curled around my shoulder in a possessive manner, drawing me close to his body. I bit my lip not saying anything.
I looked up at him only to discove

His Willing Captive Chapter Nineteen
Roman's POV I watch with lulling fascination as waves crashed on the rocky shore below my room. It's a luxury whenever my father is away or minding his own business. As a kid, I always strive for his approval but as I grew older I realized that it was never a pleasure to have him in the same room. My father is a cruel and calculating man, always wanted to be a mile ahead of his enemies. Since a child, he keeps on drilling on my head that the only weakness a man could have in our line of work is the people that gave us unnecessary feelings. To eliminate the weakness, we must take out the people that make us weak. But he's wrong. What I feel for Victoria is not unnecessary and certainly, it never makes me feel weak. A truth my father must not know. It's a secret I'll take to my grave as long as Enrico Hernandez lives. Victoria. I smile as an image of her smiling face took form in my head. I've been watching her for a long time now but I still do
His Willing Captive Chapter Twenty
I closed the huge oak door of my room with a soft click, close my eyes before releasing a long sigh of everything I'm feeling while leaning half of my weight against the warm wood.The smell and the usual warmth of my room came to me in a melodic wave of nostalgia. Suddenly, I felt faint as the feeling of suffocating restraints boarded up since I was a child started to flood with the memories. The warmth I felt a moment ago was suddenly replaced with the kind of coldness that seeps through the bone.This is not home. It's prison.When I was a child I marveled and cherish every little time and attention they gave me while trying to contend myself in the small world I was confined to. But as I grew older the world I had made for myself became suffocating to the brink of insanity. Still, I tried to live and build a life in any way could until my father announced that I am to marry Roman Hernandez.That had been the breaking point.I slump on the floor
His Willing Captive Chapter Twenty-One
I lay awake, unable to sleep. Different faces of death keep haunting me even in the dead of the night. And if I look closely, I could still see the imprint of blood on my hands, the taste of copper on my lips, and their screams close to my ears. Theirs no peace or rest for the people like me. I had wished a thousand times for any deity watching me to just take my conscience so the guilt could never eat me alive.I was not lucky.I sat on a chair facing the ocean with my favorite knife in hand. I don't like k*lling people but I could always appreciate good craftsmanship on weapons when I see one.On nights like this, I'm usually too absorbed in my own misery counting the deaths on my hand while muttering their names in the darkness. But Victoria happened and every time I'm about to enter the same rabbit hole again I'm always reminded with her smile and how can a simple smile light up the whole place.She's my salvation.The only person I needed in m
His Willing Captive Chapter Twenty-Two
“I want you to ruin me,”I knew the moment my words got through Roman when his face morphed into a face of a schoolboy who doesn't know what to do. I should applaud myself for accomplishing such a feat but to be perfectly honest, most of my courage came from the alcohol I just drank, making me lose half of my inhibitions and footing.And I feel hot.Perhaps asking Roman to ruin me was going too far. Most of the words I blurted out came from the movie Lena made me watch once. The woman in that movie was a siren—a seductress born to dominate men, someone I couldn't be. Though, I couldn't explain the rush of something foreign and alive when I saw the unadulterated desire flash through Roman's amber eyes.The urge to lick my lips was intense but I held myself instead I bit my lower lip to stop my tongue from darting out.Wrong move.Before I could grasp what had happened, I felt the loss of my weight as I was spun
His Willing Captive Chapter Twenty-Three
I awoke with a sense of someone gently caressing my face. I slowly opened my eyes in narrow slits, prepared to have the first glaring brightness of the sun directly assaulting my tired eyes while trying to remember what had happened the night before. But instead, I was greeted with the faint light and the sound of crashing waves outside.Little by little the memories of the night before came in a torpedo of embarrassment and giddiness. I had done it. I was finally kissed and touched by a man. My body welcomed it even if my heart craves another man's touch–Alaric. I'm not even sure if I should be glad I fainted to escape the embarrassment of succumbing to the desire or sad that I haven't felt the full extent of it.I internally shook my head.I found Roman beside me wide awake while gazing at me with his unreadable eyes. What did he think of me now?“How long I've been asleep?”“Five hours,” That means–&ld
His Willing Captive Chapter Twenty-Four
Where have you been?” the sound of my mother's voice early in the morning gritted my nerves as I exit from my walk-in closet, holding a black flowery dress that reaches just above my knees. I wouldn't wear it though. The dress was just an alibi.As I entered the secret door of my closet I had heard my mother calling my name from the entrance of my quarters and grab the closest dress I saw.I can't have her looking at me suspiciously especially now that I suddenly decided to marry the man who was the very reason I ran away.“Mother,” I bobbed my head, acknowledging her presence. The Queen stood, regal in the middle of my chamber, her nose stuck, high in the air. She looks impeccable and classy, a picturesque of a true Royal.I feel cold and detached from her, something she probably didn't expect from her naive and obedient daughter. A flicker of disappointment flashed in her eyes before she blink it away, replaced with her practiced smile
His Willing Captive Chapter Twenty-Five
I wore a revealing soft pink nightgown made of lace. Somehow, it feels like I'm betraying Alaric. While my mind keeps on telling me that there's nothing between us, my heart has other plans. It keeps on beating for the man that only sees me as a nuisance—an unnecessary baggage he had a misfortune of picking beside the road.And there's Roman. Coming back had been a gamble. I expected a lot of things; my mother's worried face, father's anger, Enrico's punishment, and Roman's disgust and bitterness.None of those had been present when our paths meet again.Roman broke the wall I built around myself the moment he saw me and engulfed me into his warm embrace. It feels like he cares more than he's letting on. And when our skin touches, I hadn't expected the rush of anticipation that coursed through me. Now, I'm on a mission to break through everything that's keeping me from my happiness.I must admit, his drugging touch and kisses were a plus. At least I
His Willing Captive Chapter Twenty-Six
I came down with a beaming smile on my face like Roman asked me to with the exception of the dress he ordered me to wear. Instead, I wear an old university shirt I stole from my brother's closet and the five-year-old sweatpants which I also stole from him. Nothing fancy, I know.Going down for breakfast would have been a good idea and a comical one but the image of my mother choking on her food while looking at me dubiously tugged a string on my heart. And besides, I don't want to antagonize my father early on my plan. I'm not even sure if it is a plan. All I know is I'm working to gain my freedom from my oppressive family.“I hope you're feeling well, your highness.” Roman greeted bowing his head with a smirk on his face and a glint of mockery in his eyes.I gritted my teeth, smiling stiffly at him.One of these days I'm gonna k*ll him. J*rk.My eyes zeroed on him. I gulped. He looked sexy. Like the men, I saw on billboards and magazin
