“Let me go, you brute!” Isabella kicked Asher's leg to no avail. His steely hold on her remained.“You are angry,” Asher stated the obvious.“Really?” Isabella screamed. “I didn't know that. What gave it away?” She felt like all the anger that has dampened after talking to Dragana resurfaced. “I was able to get Lucas out.” Asher changed the topic. Isabella stopped struggling. “He is in the next room.” Isabella frowned. How comes she hadn't seen him?“Did he get his memory….”“No.” Asher cut in. “I am not sure if he ever will, but we can hope.” Isabella let herself relax in her lover's arms begrudgingly. She had plenty to a cold her for, but there would be plenty of time for that. Currently, she wanted to see Lucas and ensure the man was alive. At the risk of him not recognizing her or even hating her. “Can you take me to see him?” She asked with a small voice, telling Asher just how uncertain she was. “You can see him anytime.” Asher soothed, burying his nose in her neck. “He will
Asher left a few hours later than he would have wanted to because he kept giving in to the 'just a little while more' from his compelling girlfriend. By the time he left, the two lovers were right as ever and the only thing Isabella asked from him was to be careful out there because her life was tethered to his. She also promised not to stress him anymore and that she will wait patiently for his signal. In the next room, Dragana had dragged a couch next to Lucas' bed and sat unmoving, admiring the sleeping man. All the sentiments she had been believed to have died with her husband strangely clashed forth like a tornado. She couldn't pinpoint what it was exactly about the man who made her want to strip naked, bend over, and demand he fuck her to oblivion. The longer she stared, the hooked she became. She was literally one breath away from jumping at his unconscious self. Her body ached deliciously in all the right places that she hadn't felt an itch in what felt like forever. Even he
By the time Isabella finished her narration, Lucas was weeping like a baby. Luckily, no one else, apart from his daughter who got to see him break down since Dragana had excused herself to give the two the privacy they deserved. To say Lucas was disgusted with himself it would be putting mildly. He couldn't believe that, on top of believing that Marina had killed herself, he went ahead and married Edith, who was supposed to be the best friend. Thanks to the internet, Isabella was able to confirm her words by showing the happy family. That's when Lucas realized there were no pictures with Isabella in it.His heart sank, remembering the promises he had made to Marina before she agreed to marry him. He was to be a father to her little girl. But from his understanding, Lucas had failed in that as well. He ended up asking Isabella how she can bear to look at him after everything he had done. Isabella reminded him that he had somehow reverted back to his old self and was helping prove that
“I am the worst challenger you should choose to be an enemy of.” Frederic replied, landing another fist on Asher's other cheek. Once a soldier…Asher, ignoring all the logic, leapt up despite the pain and lunged at Frederic, pushing the man to the ground. Before he could do any considerable damage, more than five guns aimed at him, waiting for the slightest command from Frederic. Since Asher knew Frederic wouldn't kill him without getting the answers he so desperately needed, the bodyguard smacked his captor hard on the face before spitting on him. “You know so much about me but missed the important one. I don't negotiate with delinquents.” “Get him off me, dammit!” Frederic screamed, wondering why his hooligans thought holding guns on Asher was more indispensable than pulling the man off him. Once Asher got pulled roughly off Frederic, the men wasted no time giving him a beating of his life. They could have killed him. But Asher still wouldn't beg. Somehow, he surrendered to the d
Asher had lot count of the number of times he had fallen in and out of consciousness. There was literally no part of his body that hadn't tasted some kind of beating. Either whip, fist, kick, or slap. Even opening his eyes felt like a hard chore. But despite it all, he hadn't even admitted to k owing where Lucas or his daughter were. It was a secret he would rather take to his grave. And he might. Unless Dragana or his friends, whom he was supposed to meet with, figure out anything was a miss. The last time he spoke to them was when he postponed their drinks plan to a later hour because he had been summoned to the mansion. Is Mathias Fredric's man as well? Asher wondered if the old man had known all along what Frederic and his daughter had done. Asher was getting a headache, either from thinking too much or because his poor wounded head lay on the cold concrete. Were it a weaker man, he might have begging for a quick death by now or screaming the needed like Frederic hoped. Asher tho
Isabella had been pacing all over the estate non-stop. Her conversation with Lucas had left her feeling disoriented. It was like she was relieving shit she would rather put behind her. To Lucas, it felt like news, but to poor Isabella it was worse than rubbing salt in a wound.“Hey!” She had been too preoccupied to notice Sebastian approach. The teenager had been done with school and had rushed home to gaze at his beautiful crush. His best friend from school had a hard time picturing a goddess like Isabella walking among mortals according to the way Sebastian had painted her. “You are back.” Isabella attempted a happy front. Buy Sebastian saw her sadness. Being a clueless one, he assumed that his other must have gone off on Isabella, since he had heard them argue a day or two earlier. “Don't mind her. She is a buzz killer sometimes.” Sebastian whispered clandestinely. Isabella laughed, not surprised at all with the remark. Thing, is, Sebastian was yet to know about Lucas. Well, he h
If crying and whimpering 'I don't know what you are talking about daddy' could be anyone, Edith would literally be the safest person on earth. But instead, Frederic had resulted to punching and kicking her, convinced that she and Lucas are working together to sabotage him. He finally managed to knock her to the floor, muttering a series of swear words. As if on cue, his phone pinged, vibrating in his pocket. His heart did a flip. Even before he fetched the phone and opened to see the attachment from the strange number, he knew he wouldn't like what he would see. “Fucking hell!” He screamed tossing his phone, it hit a wall and shattered. Determined, he stalked towards his daughter who was still crying her heart out on the floor. Pulling her up roughly, he began stripping her. He needed to find where she was hiding the camera. Because there is no way someone just managed to record the beating he had just given her if there was no camera in the room. And since he hadn't found any camer
Fredric's brain began buzzing. A million thoughts crossed his agitated mind, and one truth stood out. His mansion had been bugged. And not by his daughter. But rather one of his pleasure toys. Which meant that Lucas' influence ran deeper than he had anticipated. How many of his trusted had been compromised? He felt his stomach churn at what might have been discovered, and for the very first time he shook. Trembled at the possibility of his enemies having the upper hand. And prison, was not an option. Heavens knew he wouldn't survive there. He had arrested more men than he would care to count, and even if he hadn't, no man of the uniform does well in prison. That left Frederic with only one option. Destroy his enemies before they destroy him.With no formulated plan in mind, Frederic turned to his daughter. His pride and chauvinism would let him apologize, but he knew she was the last person who would betray him. “It's you and me against them all.” He rasped, stopping closer and rela
