THE DON'S SECRET OBSESSION (His Bride, Her Prison) 94
Chapter 94Ariel’s POVI slowly turned back around and folded myself into my seat as everything faded away behind me.And after a few minutes of tensed-up driving, I broke the silence.“That was crazy…”The words left my lips before I could stop them, my voice still unsteady, still carrying the remnants of everything we had just escaped.Carlos let out a breathless chuckle from the passenger's seat, even as Dermos' grip tightened on the wheel as the car sped through the empty road.“Crazy?” Carlos muttered. “We almost got killed.”“Or worse,” Luciana added quietly, wrapping her arms around herself like she was trying to hold the pieces together.I leaned back into the seat with my chest still rising and falling too fast and my heart refusing to settle.“What was that? The explosion?” I asked, staring at Dermos.“It was us,” Carlos replied. “While you girls were snooping around, Dermos and I snuck our way to the generator and slipped in a small bomb we brought in with our shoes,” he ex

Chapter 93Ariel’s POVI froze as my breath caught somewhere between my chest and my throat, refusing to move as my eyes locked on the figure standing beside the car.Valerio. Our luck couldn't get any better, if it wasn't him, who else?He was standing there like he was waiting for something, or some people.He looked calm as ever, composed with his hands tucked neatly behind his back, like the chaos we just created and ran from wasn't happening.Like it was all part of the evening’s entertainment.“Well,” he said smoothly with his voice cutting cleanly through the cold air. “That was… entertaining.”No one moved.I could feel Dermos’ grip tighten slightly around me, like he was trying to shield me from him.Like a warning.Valerio’s gaze shifted lazily across us, taking his time, studying, and dicing through us.“You really thought I wouldn’t notice?” He continued, tilting his head slightly. “That I wouldn’t see through it?”None of us dared to speak. We just stood around each other

Chapter 92Ariel’s POVI heard them, but I wish I couldn't hear them. I didn't need this, we didn't need this.But the words didn’t just echo; they spread. They spread like fire through dry air.A ripple moved across the ballroom as conversations died before they even started, and laughter melted into silence.Eyes began to shift suspiciously around as fear took hold, with a good number not knowing what to do. It all choked down on us, on me in particular, as my chest tightened instantly.“They’re locking this down,” Luciana whispered beside me, tightening her grip around my arm slightly. “We are leaving. Now.”“What of Dermos and Carlos?” I asked, and she shook her head.“We don't have that kind of time; we are the ones with the evidence. They'll find their way later,” she replied, and I didn't argue further.We moved immediately, slipping through the crowd as naturally as we could manage.However, the announcement didn't make things any easier. People weren’t flowing anymore; they

Chapter 91Ariel’s POVI heard it, but wished I hadn't.Those words could confirm my fears and put us where I hoped not to.Those didn’t just land; they cut through.My entire body locked as the desk above us shifted slightly again, like he was about to rip the last bit of cover we had away.Luciana’s fingers dug harder into mine as I myself couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think, couldn’t move.A step, then another, he got ever so close.The shadow beneath the desk deepened with his shoes angling just enough that I knew he was about to bend.About to look, about to find us.And then—A loud cough from the door broke the tension, followed by;“Sir.”Everything stopped, but Valerio didn’t respond immediately.I felt the way he hesitated, the way he held on a bit longer, like he was deciding which mattered more.Us. Or whatever waited at that door.“What is it?” He said finally, with his voice edged with irritation.“I just received a text from the ballroom,” the man answered quickly. “You’re

Chapter 90Ariel’s POVI sucked in a sharp breath as the handle moved all the way and fully turned open.My body froze in place as the faint click echoed too loudly in my ears. Luciana’s head snapped towards me with her eyes darting from me to everything around us, already searching for an escape that my body couldn't see as possible.We barely had any time as the door creaked open.“—I told you I don’t care how it’s handled, just make sure it doesn’t come back to me.”That voice, the same voice from the encounter in the woods with Dermos.Valerio, sounding ever so cold and way too close for comfort.Luciana moved before I could catch what she was doing.She grabbed my wrist and pulled me down fast, dragging me behind the desk just as the door opened wider. My knee almost hit the edge of the desk, but I caught myself at the last second, biting down on the gasp threatening to slip out.We dropped into the narrow space behind the desk, pressing our bodies low as we were barely shielde

Chapter 89Ariella’s POVThe door swung fully open without a warning, and my heart jumped straight to my throat.Luciana reacted first and grabbed my arm, pulling me back instantly and pressing us both flat against the wall just beside the doorway.I didn’t breathe. I couldn’t.Footsteps followed almost immediately, with low voices, careless and completely unaware of how close they were to finding us.“…I’m telling you, it’s not worth it tonight,” one of them said, his tone laced with irritation.Another chuckled. “You always say that.”They stepped out fully with the light from the room spilling into the hallway for a brief second before the door began to swing shut again.I kept my head slightly lowered and my body stiff, praying they wouldn’t glance our way.And they didn’t.The door clicked softly behind them, and their footsteps faded down the hall.Only then did I finally breathe. I practically sucked in all the air my lungs could carry at once.Luciana released my arm carefully

Chapter 84Ariel’s POVIt sent a particular bolt of energy right through me.The sound didn’t go away; if anything, it got clearer as we listened.I held my breath, trying to focus past the pounding in my chest. It wasn’t the wind, it wasn’t leaves, it wasn’t an animal either, and most certainly wa

Chapter 81Ariel’s POVWe were stuck, and nothing about those words felt real at first. They sat somewhere in my mind, distant, like something I could ignore if I just kept thinking hard enough.There had to be a way out; there always was.I folded my arms lightly, turning in a slow circle as I sc

Chapter 79Ariel’s POVThe door clicked shut behind me as I stepped out, and just like that, there was no going back.I returned to the living room and paused at the entrance for half a second with my fingers tightening slightly at my sides, before lifting my gaze and spotting them immediately.Der

Chapter 78Ariel’s POVThe tension didn’t leave the room, not even after Dermos made his decision.Not even after everything was… settled. If anything, it only changed its looks.It grew thicker, more dangerous. Why? Cause now… it was real.Dermos stood at the end of the room with his posture rigid
