Adonis
I had been hyper active ever since that fucking monster popped up in our lives again. It felt like I was fucking high on some drug, and my blood was charged to pump through my veins at the highest pressure. I was fucking damn restless. My mind kept tricking me into thinking he was lurking in every corner and every shadow was his, plotting and planning. But he would never fucking catch me off guard ever again.
Dominick was serious about filing a restraining order, to make sure he could not come anywhere near Cora without getting himself thrown back in jail. And in the process of doing that, we had fucking found out that the fucker was not supposed to be out of jail… yet. Some external influence had gotten his release date shifted forward so he could be released earlier. If after getting released before the legal date, the first thing he did was to come stalk me and threaten Cora, then it was obvious that the mo
LeilaniNeil never came back home. It had been three days since the video spread like a wildfire through the internet, and that first day, I had only picked Brooke’s calls, and she sounded so distraught, bringing it to my notice that most of my employees were resigning. They had begun to have doubts about me after the audio clip incidents at the event. But all they had to see was this sex tape of me shamelessly cheating with my husband’s stepbrother… and the whole world was convinced that I was the worst person in the world.Customers were cutting off contact with my brand, and only loyal supporters stayed. But it was a crippling loss… on just that first day. I had called Sara to come pick Chase up and place him at a pet care, because I was in no position to take care of him and she did, never saying anything else to me even though I was sure she had heard the news…or even watched t
LeilaniIt all looked like slow motion. Rita, turning white in the face. Neil’s eyebrows furrowing as he looked down at the little boy that was grinning up at us. Me, slowly blinking as I registered the striking familiarity of those baby blue eyes…and that cute, flashy smile. My eyes slid back to look at Neil, unable to wrap my head around the thought that suddenly crossed my mind.I looked back at Rita. “You have a son?” My tone was full of disbelief. It was unbelievable. Rita was basically the same age as me, and she was single. She had been single… for a long time…it seems. Although, nobody knew what she had been up to during her time in the Philippines… how could a little boy suddenly come into the picture.She looked absolutely horrified, her hands shaking. “It’s none of your business.” Her voice was shaky as she turned around and grabbed him by the arm but he skittered f
LeilaniMy breath quickened, heart thudding against my ribs when she began to walk closer. From the malicious glint in her ice cold blue eyes, I knew she had the intention of wrestling me to the fucking ground if I refused to cooperate. How dare she?However, the door suddenly slid open, causing her to pause in her tracks. Neil stepped in, his face covered with glowering shadows. He was tall and broad as usual, but strangely, his aura was impossibly tumultuous, dark and intimidating. His blue eyes had darkened into a glare, and his jaw was clenched into a hard line.“Why the fuck can’t they tell me where he is?” He was looking straight at Freya, and from the way things were, I could see that they came together. He went back to her, just like the message said. “Why won’t your fucking boys tell me where the fuck he is?” He slammed his fist against the side of the do
AdonisWhen Leilani gathered her wits back, she threw our asses out of the house. Neil had stormed off earlier, and Freya followed soon after. Then, when she got over her suicidal episodes, she made us leave the fucking house and locked it down. I did not fucking say a word to Cora. I was pissed from how the entire shit turned out, the bandages around my fists were a mess of fresh blood since my old cuts had reopened from the fight with Neil. At least, I had succeeded in spitting out all of the fucking blood in my mouth.Cora had said nothing to me either. She was too shocked or angry. Or both. So, she simply got into the Jeep that had brought her here and let the security drive her back home.So here I fucking was, sitting in my Jeep, trying to fucking change my bandages and clean up from that messy fight, while my eyes kept straying to the gigantic house, which hid Leilani away. And she had locked it down to the la
Leilani“I am so glad you let me in. I have been so worried about you… all these days and we could not even reach you.” Brooke sighed softly, getting up from the couch. “I am not sure if you would like to hear the state of DELEILAH right now…”“No.” I muttered, lowering myself back down to a laying position against the soft pillows on the couch. “I don’t want any reports for now. I am just glad you’re here. I never really realized I needed a friend around so badly until you stopped by. My entire world is shit, and you’re the only person who did not judge me… I’m just pretty tired.”Brooke had come over to see me. After I had nearly slit my own throat with a knife, I had been so drained, so very exhausted that even breathing seemed like a lot of work. I realized that I had crumbled under the weight of all these problems, and i
“It was you?” She whispered. I was in so much outrage that I wanted to yell, but I had no voice to even do so. Brooke was the unknown person who poisoned Cora?! It all made sense. Adonis’ bug fists clenched around Brooke’s arms, nearly crushing the bones out of rage. “You did what?”Brooke winced in pain. “Do whatever you want! I don’t care! Even if you kill me right now, there are other accomplices, hidden people who will still come after all of you! This is more than you can escape, Leila. We have the higher command, who let’s us have our revenge while doing their dirty work. I have had my revenge on you, and someone else will take over, like how I took over from Tina.” Brooke glared at me with so much hatred and envy. “I have always hated you, Leila. Right from the beginning. I only recently got the opportunity and resources to completely wreck your life. I HOPE THE NEXT PERSON SUC
Adonis“YOU MADE A REALLY STUPID MISTAKE BY LEAVING THAT SLUT ALL ALONE IN THAT HOUSE!” Brooke yelled, grinning at me. I glared back at her, watching as the cops cuffed her and dragged her off to a deeper part of the police station. Belle yelled back at her, “You should be more worried about your evil self! You are the one who made a mistake by messing with Leila!” When Brooke had been dragged out of sight, she turned to look at me. “The paramedics should take care if Leilani till we can get a hold of Neil-”That was when I saw a familiar flash of blond hair, and I turned to see Neil storming out of one of the offices, his face darkened with anger. Look at the fucking asshole we have been trying to reach. He yelled, “Is that not Brooke I saw being dragged off by the cops? Why the fuck did you get her arrested, you bastard!” He was not really interested in anything els
The detective opened another file. “Let us take a look at Ms. Freya Declan's case study. Now, we shall agree that this woman has a history of being violent towards both Adonis and Cora. There are records of her hiring thugs to harm these people and their properties. Again, this woman has a lot of influence. Enough influence that she escaped punishments for her actions for a very long time, until she ended up in a hospital. And with this influence, she was able to make a mysterious visit to Dubai… and then left immediately, as if she was trying to distance herself from all the troubles that would start popping up after she left.“Again, she then mysteriously communicated with skilled armed men, to break her out of the hospital even when she could have easily manipulated her way out. Then she went into hiding. Disappearing the same way Tina disappeared when she was wanted. We have gone into very in-depth analysis of her activities and transactions, a
