LOGINAdriana's POV “So let me get this straight, you want to break off things with Draven? Someone you’re not exactly in a relationship even but-” “Emily, you know what I mean,” I cut her off impatiently. “He’s not mine, yes, but I want to make sure that he knows that. That I don’t want him.” “Why? I mean, okay, I get why, he is an asshole but why the sudden change of heart? You were trying to win his heart at some point, remember? The whole, “I managed to get the heartless, cruel devil to fall in love with me” seemed to be going really well for you.” Emily’s words dripped in sarcasm and I simply ignored them, my thoughts fully intact by now. “I’ve given it a lot of thought, Emily, and I don’t think I can keep doing this. Him treating me like shit at some point was one thing I brushed off but now he’s keeping hostages and doing god knows what to him-” “But that’s what vampires do, Adriana, what were you expecting? It’s been like that since the beginning of history…” she trailed off wi
Adriana's POV “You can suggest a song if you want, my lady,” the butler walked up to me and I shook my head, staring at the dancing girls and guys. Some were slow dancing, while the rest were just going all out. “We usually choose songs that fits to the mood.” “What a weird and wasteful event.” I sighed, glancing at Draven, who was literally still staring at me, causing me to sigh in annoyance. “Does he not know that it’s rude to stare?” I grumbled under my breath and I swear I saw him raise a brow just as those words left my mouth. “He can hear you, my lady.” The butler chuckled before bowing at me and then leaving me behind. “Hey.” A familiar voice caused a shiver down my spine and I slowly turned around to face Vincent as he smiled at me. I didn’t even bother to return the smile, instead, I just nodded, turning to leave when he grabbed my hand, spinning me around. “Are you mad at m
Adriana's POV “Where is my bracelet?” I searched around the bed and looked at Draven, who simply turned away, suddenly ignoring my presence. “It’s not yours to keep.” He muttered under his breath and I frowned at him. “Draven, let me keep it-” “No, it’s because of that thing, I can't seem to trace your presence every fucking-” he stopped to let out a huff and I started to get out of the bed when he took my shoulders, shaking his head. “You need to rest.” “I have been resting for two days now, I want to see everyone and thank the guys too,” I said, tossing the sheets and bolting up to my wardrobe. I opened it, picking a random black mini skirt and a long sleeved pink sweater. “You better not be here when I am done showering.” I hissed, grabbing the towel and rushing inside. After taking a long shower and contemplating a few things, I wore my clothes and stepped out, only to meet Draven’s piercing gaze ag
Adriana's POV “No, stop, that’s not it Adriana.” I shook my head before going back and dialing my mother’s number. I pressed the phone tightly against my ears, praying she would pick up. Please, just this once, please mom- “Hello?” “Mom?! It’s me, Adriana!” “Adriana?! What-” “Listen to me, I’m kidnapped by Dexter, please call Draven and-” “What?! What are you talking about? Who the hell is Dexter and where are you?” “Mom, please listen! I don’t have time, just call Draven and tell him that I am probably out of town by now. I don’t remember the road we took nor the street I am at right now. All I see are a lot of trees and-” “Oh my god, I’m calling the police-” “We’re dealing with vampires alright! The police cannot handle them mother, just call Draven! Do you understand, I want you to call Draven right now!” I started crying on the phone and I could hear my mother sobbing already and panicking over the phone as she started calling my father. “Adriana, are you okay
Adriana's POV “That’s enough, you shouldn’t bully an innocent girl like that Francis.” I heard Dexter say but I didn’t even turn to look at him. A sudden warmth coated my body and I turned to look at Dexter in surprise as he wrapped a sleeping bag around me before sitting down right behind me. “You’re freezing.” He simply said before wrapping half of the sleeping bag around him as well and I frowned when I noticed him inching closer to my body from behind. “Don’t touch me.” I hissed bitterly and was about to get up when he wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me back down. “I’m seriously not giving you a choice right now, Adriana. You’re going to freeze to death-” “Thanks for your “concern”, Dexter, but I would rather take comfort from the dead.” “You’re lucky I’m not dead then, hunh?” he pulled my body closer and as badly as I wanted to just jerk away, my body couldn’t resist the warmth of his skin. I could feel his breath hitting the back of my neck and oh-how
Adriana's POV “How far are we going?” I asked softly, staring at the black jeep as everyone started getting inside. “As far away from here as possible, darling.” Francis looked at me as he buttoned up his shirt and I looked at Dexter, who was about to get in the jeep as well. “Dexter, please.” I suddenly felt desperate and found myself grabbing his upper arm. He stopped to look down at me and I clutched harder as he raised a brow at me. “Please what?” he asked impatiently and I bit my bottom lip, trying to find the right choice of words to say. “Let’s stay here? I’ll be good, I promise. I’ll help around at the mansion, I’ll even cook and clean. I won’t even try to run away so please,” I paused when he let out a sigh in annoyance. “Please don’t take my away.” I barely said out loud and stiffened when a hand caressed my cheeks. “Sweetheart, I wish you’d beg like that when you’re sleeping with me.” With a glare, I roughly brushed away his hand and watched him chuckle as
Adriana's POVI woke up the next morning, and the first thing I did was untangle Draven’s arm that was slumped around my waist before turning around to face him. I glanced at his face and smiled a little, admiring his features, starting from his perfectly structured jawline, and onto his soft lips
Adriana's POV“Now that I’ve gained your attention,” I started, turning to face Draven. He was now wearing black and grey joggers; shirtless, might I add, but focus, Adriana.“No shit,” he grumbled, making my eyebrows knot in annoyance.“Did you do anything to Francis or not?”“You don’t have to c
Adriana's Pov “Get off me and give me the bottle. I’ll drink it myself.” I raised my voice, knowing very well that he didn’t have the guts or the heart to force himself on me, but at the same time, I knew he would find another way to threaten me.“The things you’d do not to have sex with me,” he
Adriana's POV“You’re going to fall, doll face. Come here before I make you.” He raised his voice, but I knew that he was more concerned than angry by now.“No,” I said with no emotion, and I watched him shoot me a glare.“Damn it, Adriana, get the fuck away from there!” he yelled, and I simply sco
