FAZER LOGINDECLAN The creamy glow from the sun synced with her skin in the most enchanting way. And now I'm staring at her like some lovesick puppy. It hurts to admit she's indeed fucking gorgeous. It hurts even more to admit that the longer I keep her alive, the more impossible it's gonna be for me to wanna kill her. The deeper my need to possess her is gonna become. How did I get here? How did I go from intensely and rightfully hating her to this? It feels wrong. It is wrong. And I hate myself for it. I feel like a damn sellout. She bent and sniffed a flower. Her small smile made her face glow. And it sent a maddening rush to my nerves, especially around my groin. I grew a boner instantly. Maybe if I had a taste of her. Maybe a good taste of her would cure this insanity. Fuck her till she's buried in sweat and exhausted from screaming out my name. I bet that's gonna relieve me of this insanity. “Declan.”I spun around quickly, panting like I had been caught doing something disgustingly
VINCE I’m watching the phone so intently, waiting for it to ring. Declan's men did call, demanding that my men come pick up the antidote, but they didn't give any further instructions.They'd vehemently refused to give those instructions to Miguel. They said they were going to call back, and it should be me picking up.Seeing them acting so demanding is jabbing at my nerves. They have no fucking right to decide who picks the call. They're a bunch of stinking dogs. They have no rights at all. That's what got me all pissed. But nervous. God, I'm nervous. I'm literally biting my fingertips while waiting for the damn phone to ring. “What if they were pulling our legs?” Miguel asked, cutting me out of my deep thoughts. “What if they don't plan to hand over the antidote? What if they're teasing us?”I didn't answer that. I just went back to staring at the phone but between me and me, I already know what I'm gonna do to those bastards if this whole shit turns out to be one big prank. I'l
VINCE “You're not serious about this,” Leo was throwing a fit in my living room, stomping on my floor like he wanted to start an earthquake and wouldn't stop pacing around the small table in our middle. “Would you stop doing that? You're making me dizzy.” I sighed. I sounded drained and that's because I am. This whole moment and his voice are draining the fuck out of me.Leo stood still now but he wouldn't shut up. “Richard, man. He's not being serious, right?”Great. Now he wants Richard to back him up in this. “I don't think he is. I just think he's under some pressure and it'll clear off.”“Damn right, I'm under crippling pressure. But it's not gonna clear off until I do what I wanna do.”“You can't do it, Vince. It's insane!” Leo yelled in my face. I'd reply with my fist if I weren't so fucking exhausted. “Get out of my face,” I warned him. He backed away, going over to Richard's couch. “If you get involved with dark magic, it'll be the most regretful thing you've ever done.
ELENA I wouldn't say I regret coming here. If I do, that's going to make me a somewhat bad mother. Because I came here to get the antidote for my daughter. I knew it was risky but I came because I'd do anything for her. So I'd never regret coming here. I just…I…wish it had never gotten to this point. I know he's mad at me for vanishing the way I did. I know he is definitely tired of me doing this over and over. I know he's sick of my stubbornness. But God, I really hope he's also coming to rescue me. I don't wanna stay longer in this hellhole with these beasts. I feel like I'm gonna die if I do. I wanna get out of here. I wanna go back to my family. I wanna go back to Vince and my daughter. Dear God, I hope she's still breathing. I really do hope my baby's still alive. Please keep her alive for me. The door opened abruptly cutting short my thoughts. A slender figure walked in, and the door was shut from the outside. My vision was blurred with tears so I couldn't make out the fac
DECLAN My nerves constricted in fury as my finger touched the wetness on my face. It awakened the most roaring fury I've ever felt. Fucking bitch!Spitting on my face was a felony. A fucking sacrilege, a taboo! And without thinking, I reacted instantly, smacking the living daylight out of her face. She squealed. My hand lifted, ready to land another. But she was already in tears and that painful squeak she made had already etched in my head. My hand was suspended in the air. It was hard fighting down my rage and the urge to snap her fucking neck. I took a deep, ragged breath and got off her. I paced back and forth, wrestling against my rage. “Right. Vince wouldn't hit you if you spat on his face. He'll lick it up and thank you for it. That man's a fucking simp. He should have straightened your attitude out, but he just sucked up to it, like a fucking coward!”She was whimpering so she didn't say a word. I hated that whimpering sound. It was clawing at me. But I can't shut her up
DECLAN “You're not in love with her, are you?” He asked, still wearing every shred of shock that crossed his face earlier. In love? That's an impossible feat for a man like me. More now than ever. Even if I were to fall in love, it'd never be with a woman like Elena. That wouldn't be fair to me and my people. It's not love I feel for her…it's something more corrosive. Unnamed but intense. That can't be love. Love is pure. What I feel is some dark shit. A burning obsession with her face. With her body. I detest her soul. I detest her personality. But I'm fucking obsessed with her body. With her face. With her name. That's some crazy shit, isn't it? “Even if you are, you should know better. You're a damn rogue. You don't stand a fucking chance with her!” Trent was still losing his mind. “Neither do you. Actually, I've got better chances of being with her than you do. Also, I think it's only wise that I be the one to keep her. That way, neither you nor your father wins, and
ELENA “Could it be stress?” Dr. Drake asked, going around his table and settling on his seat. “Maybe you're just stressed and it's taking its toll on you?”“I don't know,” I said with a sigh. “I just feel dizzy and out of it. And sometimes I get this banging headache.”“Hmm.” He smiled and made a
VINCE “Hey!” One of the rogue guards roared from outside. “Get up and eat the damn food!”Getting up was impossible. I couldn't. My legs have been badly bruised with all the chains and gruesome tortures. I had an excruciating black eye on the right eye and the left was slightly swollen. There was
ELENA “Leonardo?” Father's brows furrowed. “What did he do to Trent?”“I don't really know how it happened. But Leonardo came by the house and they argued a lot. Trent had the men throw him out of the house. And followed him outside the main gate, still cursing him out. And the next thing I heard
VINCE Dying would be a better choice right now. An easier and less painful one. Rather than staying alive and feeling every fucking shade of pain I never knew existed. I wasn't even sure what part of my body hurt more. Was it my swollen eyes that dripped blood in intervals? Or my bleeding ankle t
