Luca's Pov

I hesitated. Wrong move as that was all they needed to know I didn't belong in there. I saw the suspicion fill their eyes as they took in the vest and gun by my right side.

“I was asked to find a Mr Jenkins. Do any of you two know him?” I asked, infusing as much confidence and intimidation into my voice as I could muster.

This seems to keep both of them off balance for only a bit. Or at least one of them, the one standing in front of me. He blinked and stuttered, his hazel eyes filling with something close to apprehension.

“Mr Jenkins? Um, I'm not sure…” he began but the other one who'd been sitting at a table cut in,

“There's no Mr Jenkins at this hospital.” He stood to his full height. He was taller than I was by only a few inches but he was also very broad. Much like the other two on the ground floor who'd wrestled down the screaming patient, this man was built like a battering ram.

The stuttering one was considerably smaller but emboldened by his big col

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   94. I shouldn't Care.

    Luca's Pov The silence ticked for five seconds, "He needs to be punished." I replied. “That hasn't stopped a contract termination before. If anything, it usually precedes it.” Elias insisted. “I'm not terminating his contract. I'm not done with him!" I exclaimed in anger. Elias leaned against the counter, “Have you asked yourself why? You get tired after the first month. None of the others have lasted till the end of the contract. They either mess up or most of the time, you just decide you're done and toss them away. It's been just about a month, not only are you not tired of Alex yet, it seems like you haven't even started.” “I treated him the same way I would have treated any of the others… Alright. He got his punishment." I roared as I battled the urge to slam the bottle on the floor and watch it shatter into a hundred pieces. “I see. And how do you feel about that?" Elias asked gently. “What are you trying to shrink me? Is that what this is? You think I need therap

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   93. No Different Than The Others.

    Luca's Pov I sighed, “Alive and…maybe not well but,” "Ah shit. What did you do to him, Luca.” Elias groaned in concern. “You know what, don't answer that.” "He disobeyed me.” I said through gritted teeth. "Yeah, no shit. The kid wanted to go back home for a bit. Can't blame him. He's had a rough couple of weeks.” Elias quipped in annoyance. “He didn't just go back. There was another guy in his apartment." I growled. “Oh." His eyes widened in shock, “Oh fuck." He mumbled with a sigh. “Yeah. Some fucker who drives a Harley. About six feet, no extra inches, brown hair, slim, muscular build obviously works out and is reasonably comfortable from the looks of his outfit." I rattled out, the image of Ryan storming out of Alex's apartment rolling in my head like a bad movie on loop. "You got a good look at him,” Elias nodded as he spoke."Not as good as I would have liked. Got his plate number though.” I Shrugged. "You're gonna track him, aren't you?” Elias asked in a matter

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   92. Not His Type.

    Luca's Pov I let myself into the apartment with my key. The house was quiet except for the sound of the running shower in the bathroom. I walked into the room and threw myself onto the bed. I really needed to talk to someone and if Elias didn't come out of the shower in the next five minutes I was going to go in there and drag him out. He came out a little over five minutes later, blue towel wrapped around his chest and a smaller white one around his hair? It wasn't him. Her scream of surprise blended with my gasp of amusement and she clasped her towel tighter. “Why…hey, there Sage." I chuckled with a brow raised in amusement. "Wasn't expecting to see you here.” She laughed nervously, "Uh…hey. Yeah, I…uh, I couldn't go back to my place because I um...fell asleep, so um…” She stuttered, wiping the water off her face with the back of her hand. “Really? That's weird. Elias didn't wake you?" I asked, laying on the sarcasm thick. At that moment, Elias walked in holding a

    Alex's Pov My skin stung. My face hurts. My body ached. It kept aching long after he was gone. I huddled under the covers but they didn't provide much warmth. I shivered but not from the cold. For a brief second, I'd seen my life flash before my eyes. I'd seen Luca angry, enraged. But what I saw that day, the look in his eyes when he'd slapped my hands away from his legs... I'd seen a ruthless beast. The only time I'd seen a look close to it was the day he held a gun to my head about to shoot me for the unlucky coincidence of being there when he killed my landlord. And even then... Even then, it hadn't been like this. The worse thing was, he'd kept talking about disobedience, but it felt like I had done something far worse. I couldn't shake the feeling that he knew about Ryan. But if he did, then I should be dead by now. He'd held the promise of death over my head for as long as this contract had been standing.And somehow, I was still alive. I laid in bed for what

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   90. Insufficient Punishment.

    Luca's pov His cries did nothing for me. They didn't make me hard like before. They didn't make me feel any remorse. Or pity. I watched the tears run down his face as he writhed. He whimpered. He begged, said he was sorry. I didn't listen. I didn't care. I threw the whip again, aiming for the angry red spot between his shoulder blades. I saw him grit his teeth in preparation for the pain. Saw him shut his eyes tightly. I added a bit more force. He cried out again and this time fell to the floor. A flicker of pity came. Just a tiny flicker. I shoved it away. Alex had disobeyed me. Betrayed me. “Back on the bed." I commanded and he raised his teary face up to look at me. “Please. Not any more. I'm sorry. I won't leave again, I promise." He begged with tears streaming down a face as pink as cooked salmon. “Too late for promises, Alex. Back on the bed." I repeated. “No, please." He reached out and grabbed my leg. I felt a wave of disgust wash over me, “Don't to

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   89. Pain Not Pleasure.

    Alex's Pov Again, I didn't go after him. This time around, I didn't message or call him either. I felt my heart break into a thousand pieces but I told myself it was for the best. Everything was moving too quickly. We had to slow down. And if Ryan didn't want to slow down, if he was choosing to get pissed off at that well… well there was nothing I could do about that was there? It was easy to tell myself that. But my heart was saying something else. It told me I lost a chance at a happy ending. A chance at having a stable partner. A chance at being loved again. I crawled into my old bed, not bothering to take off my clothes. I curled up into a fetal position and just laid there for a while. I wanted the tears to come but they didn't. My eyes stayed stubbornly dry. What I felt was more numbness than anything else. I didn't know when I fell asleep. When next I opened my eyes, the sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon. I woke up in a panic at first. It had bee
