MasukI rush through the meeting I was called away from Tavisha for, then shower and change into clean clothes, then rush back to the Medical Centre. I'd been gone for more than two hours, and I had told the medical staff to leave her in peace to sleep. When I reached the nurses' station, I asked casually.'How is Tavisha doing? Did she eat her lunch?'The nurses looked at each other, and I frowned.'You told us not to disturb her, Pres. No one has been in to see her since you left.'My heart froze because I knew there was no way my little wife had not woken up, and my gut was telling me this was bad. Striding past the station, I was almost running when I pushed open the door to her room and found it empty. It did not stop me from calling her name and searching the bathroom, already knowing she had run again. The door opened again, and the Doctor came dashing into the room.'Where the fuck is she?'I demanded as he looked wildly around.'I'm sorry, Pres, I do not know.'I wanted to strangle
Staring out of my office window at the endless blue sky that merges with the mountains in the distance, my thoughts are not on the stunning vista in front of me. All I can see are the taillights of the SUV as it speeds away with my woman inside it. I know Killian O'Hara had the gall to take her in broad daylight straight out of the college. I know he took her by force; she did not get in that fucking SUV willingly. They sedated her to keep her quiet. I know because I saw it all, but I was too late to help her. I had just walked around the corner to meet her and raced toward that damn blacked-out
When I woke up again, the sun was high in the sky, and I was alone. No Doctors, no nurses and especially no Killian. I moved my limbs tentatively, and although there were a few twinges here and there, nothing was broken, and I didn't appear to have any stitches. Slowly, I pulled myself into a sitting position and looked around; apart from the steady beep-beep of the machines, the room was silent and empty. I did not hesitate; removing the cannula, I pulled the plug on the machines, silencing them all. Slipping out of the bed, I grabbed my clothes and headed for the bathroom. Dressing quickly, I was out of that room as fast as my legs could carry me, keeping to the shadows. I found an exit door at the back of the Medical Centre, probably used for deliveries, and then I was out in the late afternoon sunshine. I knew the score by now and moved as fast as I could around the perim
I walk back into the CCTV rooms to find my guards playing cards, drinking whisky and smoking weed. They are completely oblivious to the drama playing out behind them on their TV screens.'Oh, she's having a bit of a tantrum, Pres, throwing things around a bit. She's probably calming down now she's been at it almost an hour.'One of them says, not in the least concerned, as my eyes take in the horror show behind him. 'Keane, get the Doctor to her room right away. Sean, get these four eejits out of my sight. I will deal with them later, if my wife survives.'I snarl, pressing the button to release the door to her room and racing down to get her as fast as my legs can carry me. I can see she is having a panic attack, something she has had before but which this time is clearly much more severe than anything I have ever witnessed. I reach the hidden room just as the TV topples forward and smashes through the huge floor-to-ceiling window I had deliberately sealed shut to prevent her escap
When I come out of the bathroom, he is gone, and the relief I feel is tangible. I know for a fact that if he had stayed, I would have given in to him. It had taken all of my strength to resist him, my traitorous body on fire from his touch. He knows how to play my body like a fine instrument, and he knows it. I crawl onto the bed and curl into the pillows, falling asleep almost instantly. At this point, I have no idea where he has me locked away, and when I wake, I feel disoriented and hungry, but I notice the sky is still light, so I slip out of bed and walk to the window. My heart starts to beat faster when I can see the window is sealed. Turning, I check the other one and find that it is sealed too, so when I see people walking down below me, I start banging on the glass. I notice a couple of people look up, and the confusion on their faces makes me panic.
She was waking up, and she was going to be really pissed at what I had done. I lay still beside her, enjoying the citrusy scent of her shampoo as I buried my nose in her long, silky hair. Although she had blacked out when she banged her head in the van earlier, the Doctor had said it was nothing serious, and all she'd suffer was a headache. I knew when she woke up fully she would try to pull away from me when she realised all she was wearing was her lacy bra and panties because I had removed her cocktail dress so she could sleep more comfortably. Of course, I wasn't wearing anything; I always slept naked, especially when I had my beautiful wife in my arms, who was not doing herself any favours by wriggling against my rock-hard cock. I felt her freeze as she came awake and almost instantly tried to pull herself out of my arms, but not this time. My arms locked around her like a vice, pulling her back against my chest.'Where do you think you are fucking going, wife?'Her snarl of rage o
'Thanks for letting me know Jameson.'I replaced the receiver of my landline and gazed out of the window, I knew Tavisha would not be happy that I had my guards watching her every move as well as my close friends. Jameson had just been telling me about the conversation he had with her and his dinne
She looks like a delightful, beautiful sprite, spinning around and laughing, relaxed and free. A pang of guilt hits me so hard it takes my breath away for a brief minute. I was the one who had clipped this beautiful crea
I'd gone too far again. It was her fault; she hadn't screamed, she hadn't made a sound. No woman had ever taken my whip and remained silent. Doctor Mancini had
I was numb.'How could Matteo betray me like that?' When they dragged me to the pole, I did not resist.'What was the point?'My whole life was a lie. Every single person I cared about let me down
