CLARISSAโS POV. His blue eyes were fixed on me, I can clearly notice his eyes moving from me to Brooke and his arm around my waist, My gaze was fixed on him, I could also notice his jaw tightening and his fist clenching and unclenching, his eyes moved back to me, eyes fixed on me while his eyebrows furrowed and His glare sucked something out of me, He never looked at any of the rest of the staff, just me, never blinking. There was no softness in that gaze. It was a look that conveyed a bubbling hatred. Disgust perhaps. โAre you okay, Miss Green,โ Brookeโs voice broke our trance, my eyes moved to him and noticed the worry in his brown orbs. โYeah, Iโm Okay,โ I said with an assuring smile on my lips,โBy the way, you look beautiful,โ he said, with his eyes staring right at mine and his next action took me off guard, he took my hand in his and moved it to his lips and placed a kiss on the back of it. My eyes automatically moved to Mr.Villin who was now glaring at Brooke. โYou came,โ
CLARISSAโS POV. My heart is pounding in my chest, I was frozen in the spot, I gulped while I was so scared for my life, he was staring right at me without blinking his eyes, the look on his face clearly says that heโs angry. His words were ringing in my mind over and over again, I was staring at him with fear of what he might do now! โDid you really think you can just walk inside by those stupid things you said to my guards,โ he said while stepping towards me, I looked at his face in confusion, โI know you were following me,โ he gritted his teeth and I noticed his clenching jaw, he looks scary. โFace the consequence for it,โ he said while grabbing my arm and pulling me out of the room, โMr.Villin, please leave me,โ I cried as he pulled me with him, The adrenaline floods my system like it's on an intravenous drip - right into my blood at full pelt. I think my heart will explode and my eyes are wide, letting in every ounce of the fading light. My body is reacting like there's a gor
I didnโt understand what to do and how to defend myself. I felt like my mind had stopped working, what my father did to my mother flashed inside my mind, I hate him for what he did and I hate someone who cheats on their wife and loved ones. I couldnโt process the allegation he had on me, I felt like choking, I will never ever be as a mistress to someone. He was smirking while walking in backwards and maintaining eye contact, he raised his hand up pointing it to me, โYouโre next,โ he said while tilting his head and beginning laughing like a maniac. โGeorge!โ he yelled before walking behind the womanโs chair and leaning his hands over the top slat, the door opened and a bulky man with big moustaches and brown eyes dressed in a black suit walked inside,โYes, boss!โ He asked while walking inside and stopping beside me, I glanced at Mr.Villin to see him looking at me with a wicked smile on his face. โTie her up!โ He said staring at me, โNO!โ I said stepping back but his guard caught m
CLARISSAโS POV. I was staring at him not knowing how to react to what he just said, I could clearly see his dual personalities here but Iโm afraid what he might do now as Iโm familiar with Apollo but not with Cyrus. He was looking at me, with a smirk on his face, โI came to see you once!โ he said checking his right-hand fingers while folding his arms over his chest and leaning his back against the table.I stared at him confused, he glanced at me and raised his perfect thick eyebrows up, โOf course you donโt remember,โ he rolled his eyes sarcastically, โI think you remember Apollo! talking about his stupid useless plan with you! About the party!โ He said with a chuckle, I nodded my head and stared at him without blinking my eyes. After a sec it hit me when I first entered the office that day I noticed the way he was looking at me, like checking me out and memorising everything, he didnโt talk much, just kept on staring at me and when I asked him what he wanted to talk about! he jus
CLARISSAโS POV:- โCyrus!โ I yelled trying to pull my hands out of those ropes but I couldnโt, blood drops began falling from my wrists to my dress as I continued to pull,โPlease listen to me!โ I said but I could see him ignoring me completely, his complete attention was on the woman in the chair. โAre you insane!โ I screamed when I noticed him closing her mouth and nose with his big palm,โYouโre Killing her!โ I screamed while sobbing uncontrollably, โSheโs taking more time than estimated,โ He said while moving his hands off her face, he turned around and faced me with a smirk playing on his lips, โ1โ he began counting while staring right at me, hearing him I stopped sobbing and looked at her, she was breathing more shallow and her chest was raised and falling in a slow manner. Tears were running down my cheeks while I was staring at her not knowing what to do, โ2โ his voice made me move my eyes towards him, I noticed pure excitement in his eyes and it shocked me to no end. โP
LYDIAโS POV:-โHow are we going inside?โ I asked looking at Romulus who was driving the car, we were just a block away from Mr.Apolloโs house as Romulus said.โThrough the main door,โ He said looking straight at the road, I huffed in irritation, heโs been doing this to all my questions making me irritated. Looking at his car, the two bulky men who were standing at either side of the gate, rushed towards the door and opened it, Romulus drove through the gates and parked his car in the parking lot. We immediately stepped out of the car, I followed Romulus who was marching towards the door, while he was angrily walking towards the door, I grabbed his hand and stopped him, he stopped in his tracks and turned around. He stared down at me in confusion, โI..Iโm scared, What if something happened to her,โ I asked, I was so tensed and scared for Clarissa, I love her as a sister and she was my only family. His features calmed while he stared at me, he moved his hand to my face, touching my c
CLARISSAโS POV: -I donโt know how to react! Heโs Apollo now, his personality switched? and the Apollo I knew would not talk much, my head was spinning with all these questions, I stared at him, confused, shocked and terrified all at once. These emotions were overwhelming.โApollo?โ I heard the other guy saying, I donโt know who he was but he resembles Mr. Mathew, his hair colour and height are like Mathew. โI see youโre in a hurry, brother?โ he said with a smirk playing on his lips, gripping venom with his thick British accent, he walked towards us and stood tall in front of that guy. I could feel the tension in the air as these two were staring at each other, no one was dropping it, Apolloโs eyes moved to me making me stop breathing and my heart began to beat faster than ever. I gulped hard and looked away from him, I could feel him walk to me, his intoxicating smell began to hit my nose while I drew air in. He placed his fingers around my chin and lifted my face up, I stared at
LYDIAโS POV: -โI think we shouldnโt go like this; we should wait for her!โ I said while stopping and pulling my hand out of his hold, He sighed and turned around, โListen to me Lydia, we have to let them be alone, believe me! Itโs best for them, โhe said looking down at me,โHow can I let her be alone with him, He killed someone in front of her and wh... what if he does something to her!โ I yelled while tears rolled in my eyes, He took my face in his while bending a bit and looking straight into my eyes,โI know we just met a few hours back but Trust me, Heโs my brother and I know him very well,โ he said with his deep voice and thick British accent. This family has a thing with their accent and voice for sure.I stared at his beautiful eyes and sensed the worry he has for his brother in his eyes and I found myself nodding my head at his words,โThank you, I promise I wonโt let anything happen to Clarissa, sheโll be back to you, fit and fine,โ he said with a small smile, He took my ha
While I closed my eyes, everything Romulus said rushed to my mind, Rage filled my body when I recalled what Juliette did to Apollo, I have to confront her for it. She has no right to do those things to him and how dare she say those nasty words to my Apollo! By just looking at him, women wet their panties and they do everything to have him. He has every single thing that any woman craves for. I felt him kiss my shoulder and push my hair back, โPlease stop crying, Clarissa!โ he added, I drew back and glanced at him. He wiped my tears and picked up my hands in his while dragging them to his lips and kissing my knuckles. Our perfect moment was ruined by a Romulus, we heard him clear his throat and looked at him. He was clearly trying not to smile. I blushed and looked away, โBrother!โ he said while strolling to Apollo. โYou had to ruin it!โ he said while glancing at him, Romulus chuckled โHow are you feeling?โ he asked with concern evident in his voice. โIโm okay!โ he responded flatly
Clarissa POV:- I have to ask Romulus about it right away, I thought and turned to Romulus who was strolling back to me after leaving Benjamin outside. โWhat happened to him at 7?โ I asked and I noticed his shoulders sank and he held a weak sigh. โMy grandmotherโฆ After losing my grandfather, she has changed, my mother didnโt know the condition my grandmother was in and let her take Apollo to her homeโฆ Grandma used to beat him a lot when he did things wrong and abused himโฆ he was so scared of her that he never said any of us about it and tolerated her for yearsโฆ Cyrus had come to the light to make my grandmother stop beating and he even defended Apollo and told everything she did to my motherโฆ After seeing what my grandmother is doing to Apollo with her own eyes, my mother stopped sending him to herโฆ Cyrus hated my mom for sending Apollo to my grandmother but what he doesnโt know isโฆ that my mother... didnโt want my brother to witness what my father was doing to my momโฆ she wanted to
Tears were rolling down my eyes as I glanced at him, I had to save him and help himโฆ I canโt see him like this! โHello,โ Romulus answered, โRom-Romulus,โ I cried while holding the phone, โClarissa?โ He replied with concern in his voice. โApo-Apollo,โ I tried to make words but I was sobbing, โWhat happened, Clarissa, What happened to my brother? Please stop crying and tell meโฆโ he yelled with evident panic in his voice. โHe-He fell unconscious, please come here,โ I cried, โOkay, please stop crying and be with him, I will be there soon, be strong!โ he said and hung on me. I walked back to Apollo and sat down near him, โApollo!โ I cried but there was no response, โPlease open your eyes,โ I moved my hand under his head and pulled him on my lap, tears rolling down my eyes while yelling for him to open his eyes. Hearing my cry the butler and maids came to the living room, โBring water,โ I asked looking at the butler, he nodded his head and ran to the kitchen. โApollo!โ I shook him
Clarissaโs Pov:- I swallowed visibly while debating what to ask him, I know nothing about Shade, Iโm confused but I had been researching about this as I had to handle Apollo while staying here. I had read how to behave with a person with MPD, I made myself remember it. โI-I want to talk to Apollo? Please let me!โ I asked with a smile, My heart was beating rapidly while I felt tensed and nervous about him. I noticed the way his eyes moved to my face to my body which made me self-conscious, โYouโre Clarissa?โ he asked, I noticed that his accent was different, the way he said my name sounded different. I nodded my head in response and maintained the smile. โI have 'eard a lot about you, Nice meeteng you,โ he said while extending his hand towards me. I forced a smile and took his hand, he has an Irish accent.โYou too,โ I replied, โI'm shrry but I can't allow you to talk to Apollo, as de topic will cause him pain and I can't allow dat,โ he said politely, I was disappointed at his rep
I took my phone from the handbag and dialled his number; my heart was pounding against my ribcage making me very nervous. After a few rings, he answered, โClarissa?โ He said through the phone, โI...I want to know when youโre coming home,โ I said while placing a hand on my raised chest. โI will be there in a minute,โ He said while chuckling a bit which made me blush, โO-Okay,โ I shuddered and hung up on him, I controlled my breathing and smiled while shaking my head, โStupid,โ I hit my head with my hand while walking towards the bed. I waited anxiously for him; I couldnโt wait to ask him. What will you ask him? Is Juliette your submissive or lover? Jesus! You are an idiot Clarissa! My subconscious yelled at me. What if he doesnโt tell me about her? What if he doesnโt have any feelings for me? What will I do? My chain of thoughts was broken when I heard footsteps coming towards my room, I quickly pulled my cover over me and closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep.I could hear th
โIs it...is itโฆโ I shuddered, I was shocked and words werenโt coming out of my mouth, my mind wasnโt taking the information in. โYes, what youโre thinking is right!โ he replied, โWh..what!โ I whispered while biting my lower lip and placing my palm over my face, โDonโt worry, Apollo ended it and heโs no more in touch with her,โ he continued, but his words didnโt ease my doubts nor this feeling I had in my chest. What is this feeling! Am I hurt? Or is it something else? Sensing my silence Romulus spoke up, โClarissa! You must talk to Apollo about that butโฆ I have to warn you! This topic is a bit sensitive to him and he can get upset about itโฆ you need to choose your words very carefully if you want to talk to him about Juliette,โ he said and I could concern in his voice, โOkay,โ I replied and sighed deeply, I want to know this relationship he had with Juliette, I donโt know why? Is it my curiosity? Why do I feel like I have a right to know everything about Apollo? I feel kind of o
The drive back to Apolloโs house was quiet, he didnโt say anything and kept his complete attention on the road. I was left with many questions and confusion and I couldnโt wait to ask all those burning questions to Romulus. We walked to his bedroom, and as soon as we stepped in, he claimed my lips hungrily kicking the door shut and unzipping my dress and ripping it off my body. ***I woke up feeling his hot breath against my neck, without waking him up I got up from the bed and tiptoed to the bathroom. I opened the cabinet in the bathroom and took a morning-after pill. I quickly took a shower and got dressed. When I walked out of the walk-in closet, I saw Apollo getting up from the bed and wearing his pants. โGood morning!โ I said, looking at him. He glanced at me and smiled while pushing his hair back with his fingers, he looked cute while doing that with his morning face and sleepy eyes. โGood Morning,โ he replied, walking to me, he kissed me on my cheek and walked inside the ba
CLARISSAโS POV:-I glanced at Apollo and saw him clenching his jaw, I placed my hand on his thigh. He glanced at me and I smiled trying to ease the tension. He blinked at me and I noticed a small smile appearing on his lips. I could feel everyoneโs eyes on us but my attention was completely on him. His electrifying blue eyes bored into mine, sending chills all over my body, I looked away before I lose my control and smiled at Mathew, who was smiling at us with adoration evident in his eyes. โClarissa, Iโm happy to see you here,โ he said with a genuine smile on his face, โThank you, Mr. Mathew!โ I replied, โLet me introduce my family to you,โ he said, turning towards the person beside him. โMy wifeโฆโ he said looking at His wife, who smiled at him with love and affection, โThisโฆ Is our 2nd born andโฆโ he said looking at Jacob, โThatโs our firstborn... โ he said looking at the person sitting beside Jacob dressed in a grey suit, โ...Thomas,โ he said. Thomas smiled at him and turned h
LYDIAโS POV:- Please leave for christ sake, I mumbled as I watched Simon search for me. Because of the darkness around, I had an opportunity to hide but the way he was searching for me made it hard for me to hide. I watched him push his blond hair back with his fingers in frustration, he kicked a rock in front of him in anger and turned around. I desperately waited for him to leave while placing my hands over my mouth. I peeped out and saw him walk back to his car, he opened his car door and stepped inside and drove away in anger. I released a breath I was holding and slowly got up and looked around me, there was no one here, other than me. I swallowed hard while tears rolled in my eyes, how will I go back! I asked myself as I walked towards the road. I walked through the way we came from London, it was dark and I was all alone, my body was shivering while a cold breeze hit my body. I wrapped my hands over my chest and began rubbing my shoulders. Tears ran down my cheek while the
