SUSPICIONS.

JULIAN'S POV

The week has gone with meetings upon meetings, calls for clarity, teaming up with employees and even holding board meetings too consistently, both impromptu and planned. And now just this board meeting was already a disaster. There was no trust or even patience. The company was already losing funds as payment for researches and even the shady deal signed got their way to exhorting the company's recent gains.

Numbers didn't lie, the report showed clearly the company was bleeding money from every corner that I knew and did not as presented by the financial team. I clenched my fist to my side, jaw tight in frustration as I stepped into the quiet street with gaze darkened except from the sky outside that was painted with already fading purple but it did nothing.

It was still what it was. I was losing the company.

The whispers from the board room replayed in my mind, the hints of sarcasm in that voice, their almost void emotion that were so taunting on its own

    LETHAL DESIRE.NATHANIEL’S POV.After locking her in my main residence, I couldn’t help but feel bad for her. When was she going to understand that I was doing it for her own good?Women are very nonchalant. But she’ll have no other option but to submit to me.Getting back home from work, I couldn’t help but notice the air shift in the atmosphere of my home. No secret was to be kept from me by anybody else. They all avoided eye contact with me, trying their best to conceal their evil deeds. But I saw right through them. Torturing people taught me a lot. Shifting gazes, half breath amongst other things.I took a chair and sat right in the middle of the house trying to force the answer out of every one of them.“What happened? Someone, speak now!”Voices took over the serenity of the atmosphere, a bickering that irritated my ears. I clenched my fist into the sky, compelling silence. “Robert, speak!” Without leaving a pause in the dialogue, Robert responded. “Miss. Sienna tried to es

    SETTLING INTO THE AFFLUENCE. SIENNA’S POV.The first three days being held captive didn’t feel different from being held in an actual prison. When Nathaniel wasn’t around to bring breakfast or dinner to me, his servants took over the job. The first time his servants served me food, I hurled at them trying to escape. Little did I know there were two hefty men standing just outside the hallways trying to prevent my escape. This didn’t stop me.Freedom came at a price. If I was going to get hurt a little bit to attain, it, I was ready to make the necessary sacrifice. I hurled at the men yelling. Their composed face fueled my rage with the intention of not hitting them with little blows. But they pulled me aside like I was nothing, begging me to get back into the room.“Miss. Sienna, please, get back to the room.” one of the bodyguards with the funny accent begged while trying to stop the pointless attacks I made. As my exhaustion kicked in, I began panting like a dog. The part both m

    SHE'S MINE AND ONLY MINE. JULIAN’S POV. Receiving the news from the other end of the phone had got to be the most heart-breaking news I’ve gotten in a while. My constant reminder of how I was labelled as a failure started to hit me again. Words that made me work hard to be where I currently am now wrecks me once more, drowning me in my sorrow. Sienna had slipped into the warm embrace of Nathaniel once more. The plans that took me weeks to execute, gets crumbled in seconds without any form of warning. Even the back up plans that were created in case of contingencies proved to be useless.I was so close to executing my first plan to get her back. I sent my men to monitor her to ensure she didn't get far away, all a master mind of how I was going to get her back. But now, she was deep into him. Into his world.But this isn't over. I gripped the whiskey glass roughly and tossed it into the fire. The fire roared, my rage burning just as bright as it burned.It hadn't even taken up to

    LIBERATED BONDAGE.NATHANIEL'S POV. I sat in my office sipping vodka, eyes slowling dripping from an intense gaze into the fire. I was scared of losing her this time around. What if I hadn't gotten there in time? She would have been taken away from me forever. Not on my watch! Sienna has been quite stubborn and reckless. It's almost as if she gets herself into trouble on purpose so I'd have to save her. Leaving her alone in the wild is going to uncover more threats around her. I won't be so lucky next time. But then it hit me. The vodka starting to slip into my mind slowly. Invading it with a wild thought. Make Sienna stay here. My main residence is the most heavily guarded place. No one would dare to even think of breaking in. I ran my head through my hair contemplating on the rather prickly plant. Sienna would hate me. Her freedom meant everything to her. It was all she had. But now, she'll have me. And even though I'll regret this, I'll rather keep her save than leave her

    IN HIS ARMS. SIENNA’S POVI walked away from the reproach that had already built a stance around me. This whole thing felt like a dream I had to pinch myself out from, but once I felt the tears stay wet o n my cheeks and met my trembling hands pinch the down part of my dress – it was reality. Never ever have I thought that a day like this was coming, where a looming threat would have to manifest real and live. I sucked in a shaky breath, this really could not be happening as I tried to console myself into a dumping disbelief but with the photos that flew across the whole city, what more shame could one entertain? I took my nails to my gown’s flare part as I held it high from covering the floor while I walked with head buried to my shoulders into a cab I waved unto. The moment I entered, I could have let myself pour out my misery into tears, but the atmosphere grew thick and joking. I looked over to the driver seat, it was an old man driving. “Sir, isn’t the AC working well?”

  • The Don's Billion Dollar Rival Bride    Sixty One

    BLOOD ON PAPER. NATHANIEL'S POV. She walked away as if away from the chaos that had everyone wrapped in them. Their laughter and mockery fueled an irritation to my chest that I growled at. Her phone buzzed as she walked out and my eyes did not fail to see its caller ID. It was Harper. She stared at it with a drop of tears cornering at the side of her eyes, she had fought it not to stay, but right now? It did as she answered the phone. I walked slowly just behind her as her lips formed into words I could not get. She stopped in tracks and I did too, far from her but I saw it – the pain in her eyes. The way her shoulders sank and her face turned pale. “These mother fuckers!” I cursed as I ran my hands through my hair fuming. She leaves but I stayed still, just where u had stopped earlier as my eyes darted the whole place in calculation until it landed on Julian. His position was unaffected, the crowd gossipped and he was okay with it. I walked towards him, he shifted and I like
