Chapter 26Ethan's POV Talking with Bambi made Jessica feel a lot better. Even though it's been a few hours, she’s still so energized and bubbly. I love it. She's been talking about exploring the house a little more, but she was surprised to find Jordan's art room that's filled with all his oil and water color paintings. We've shown her most of the rooms, just not two. The playroom, and the red room. I know she said she would try BDSM but I don't know how into it she'd be. Even though Jacob and Jordan are out and they're the doms, I feel like I should just see her reaction. "Come, love. Let me show you one more room." I say as I lead her through the steps and up to the second floor. Before we reach the maid and butler quarters, the playroom is in the middle of us and them. That way she can be heard at all times in little space and all the workers know to cater to her every want and need as well as to protect her if she needs protecting. "Where are we going?" She giggles as I
Chapter 27One of Alex's guards was quick to hand him his gun and he slowly made his way to my parents. Their eyes widened and I could see how afraid they were, it seemed like they were going to break apart in any of the next few seconds. The shaky movements of my mother's hands and her eyes taking a glance at the door told me something that had gone in her mind and she made my assumption come true when she took off to run to the doorway. Bang! The sound of the bullet being fired by Alex's gun was all that was heard throughout the entire hall before a blood-curdling scream broke through mom's throat. She fell to the ground, crying in pain and my eyes noticed the blood that gushed out of the wound on the back of her leg where the bullet penetrated in. "It's gullible of you to think that any of you can get out of here alive," He chuckled, it was sinister, "Now decide which one of you wants to die first. I don't have the intention to waste much time on any of you, so make it fast."
My tears kept falling, refusing to stop. The burning feeling in my heart did not stop even for the smallest amount of time. The torture they put me through when they were alive did not bother me as much as now, after their death. I felt so lost. As if there was a big weight hanging over my shoulder, trying to drag me into the ground and let me out again. My whole life all I got from them was pain and misery. Not even for once, did I get the chance to smile? It was not hard to imagine whether there had been any moments that I had, where I truly felt any sparks of happiness—Maybe, the first and last time was the day when I saw Alex for the first time before it all vanished into nothing. There was only one question I kept asking myself till now. Why me? Why was it me against the world? Why do I have to go through all of this pain that broke me, left me so shattered that finding a way to mend myself once again was nearly impossible? I was so tired of fighting. Everything was too mu
Chapter 29Emily He picked me up by my thighs and pressed me against the glass shower wall, the cool surface against my heated skin made goosebumps cover my entire body. He looked deep into my eyes, and his blue orbs pierced right through my soul, leaving a mark that might never fade. I slid my hand around his neck and used the other hand to grab onto his shoulder for balance I felt drawn to him. Every fiber of my body wanted to drown in him, pull him close, look at him, and notice every detail because I might not get the chance again to have him like this. So unguarded and calm, looking at me as if I was the first and last he'd ever look this way. He grabbed his thick shaft and shifted a bit away only so that he could press the tip of his cock against my entrance. A zap of shock exploded in my body and my lips parted. There was no pain today, he was not rushing anything. He was slow, gentle, and somewhat careful. He pressed his nose against my neck, before he slowly pushed insid
Chapter 30Emily The sound of familiar footsteps and some shuffling noises was what woke me up from my doze. I rubbed my eyes to get rid of the drowsiness and slowly sat up holding the duvet around my body. My stare automatically moved to spot Alex who absentmindedly tucked in his midnight blue shirt and fixed his black tie before moving to grab his Rolex from one of the drawers of his watches. He looked as if he was in a hurry. Something did not seem right, he looked so restless as if he wanted to leave as soon as he could. Was it because of what happened last night? This behavior of his was absolutely contrary to my expectation. I grasped the duvet around my body and slowly got down from the bed, the cold tiles underneath my feet made a zap of shiver run up and down my body causing goosebumps to rake my skin. I was tired, and even though this was just the start of the morning, there was no energy within me whatsoever. Yet I gathered myself and walked towards him, his attention n
Chapter 31I have walked into the kitchen for the first time since I was brought into this mansion, however, only to distract myself from the thoughts that only roamed around Alex. The encounter I had with him early this morning was still unnerving me in some manner and the last thing I wanted was to let the fear be alive within me once again. I prepared the cookie dough, my eyes absentmindedly focused on the scenery outside the window. It allowed me to look at the beautiful garden outside but that eye-catching view did not help me forget. I absentmindedly began drifting into the thoughts of Alex once again. Was it worth it to keep fighting or all of it was directing me to turn into a whole different person whose heart will be as cold as Alexs? No. I was not going to give up. What will giving up reward me? Nothing but regrets and a life that might be without pain but that wouldn't hold any meaning as well. There was nearly a pin-drop silence in the kitchen. No maids were working
"Ma'am, Alpha sent you this dress to wear tonight." A maid handed me a few bags before she got out of my sight. I curiously opened the bags and the first thing that caught my attention was the wine-red gown. My brows rose in surprise as I looked at the gown. It was stunningly elegant, the stones, embroidery, laces, and embellishments complimented the beautiful dress, and the side slit cut skirt made the gown look even prettier. It was hard to take my eyes off the dress yet I managed to get myself to look at the other bags. When I opened the second bag, there was a blue velvety box. I took it in my hand and unlocked it. There was a beautiful ruby necklace and earring set. It could be said without needing to examine twice that this was worth more than a fortune. I moved to the next bag and there was a pair of lace-up ankle strap high heels. It screamed the same luxury as the other accessories. The fact that he spent so much for the sake of one party surprised me. However, it added
Chapter 33There was something strangely enchanting about Alex dressed in all black. He has worn a black suit, and the jet-black color went way too well with his lightly tanned skin. The contrast hit differently. Even though he didn't look at me even once since we got inside the car, I miserably failed to take my eyes off him. With his hair swept backward and gorgeous features standing out under the faint light of the vehicle, He looked breathtaking in a way that could make anyone fall for him with just one single glance. How could someone be so handsome and cruel at the same time? Sighing, I finally gathered the strength to look away and focused my gaze outside through the window. The ride to the party was not too long, it took us around twelve minutes to reach the place. The car stopped in front of the gate of the hotel which looked less like a hotel and more like a palace. Alex was super wealthy, and of course, I had expected this party to be held somewhere fancy but this giga
