Untamed Desires Chapter 32 The Video Plays
The massive projector screen flashed bright white, but instead of romantic engagement photos appearing on the wall, a crystal clear audio recording boomed through the ballroom speakers, followed by high definition hotel security video showing Joe kissing Karen passionately outside Room 402 while holding a stack of Arthur's corporate bank statements.The lights in the ballroom dimmed even further as the video played. A quiet, heavy hush washed over the room as the massive white projection screen lowered behind the head table.Joe smiled smugly right before the clip played, leaning back in his chair and putting his arm casually over the back of my seat. "This is going to be incredibly boring, Dara," he muttered into my ear.The screen flickered to life.Instead of soft instrumental music and sweet childhood photos, a harsh static noise buzzed loudly through the high end sound system. Then, an audio file began to play clear, sharp, and brutally loud for every guest to hear."Oh, Joe... r
Untamed Desires Chapter 31 The Uninvited Guest
At that exact moment, the heavy double oak doors swung open wide. Rafael walked in, dressed in a tailored charcoal suit, his dark eyes locking onto mine across the crowded room. Beside him, holding his arm tightly, was Karen—Joe’s secretary—wearing a nervous, uncertain smile as she carried a thick manila folder in her hands.Joe froze instantly, his champagne glass rattling loudly against his gold signet ring. "What the hell is she doing here?" he hissed under his breath, his face turning pale underneath his makeup."I invited her," I whispered sweetly, taking a slow, delicate sip from my glass. "A dedicated secretary deserves a front row seat to her boss's biggest night, don't you think?""Dara, you crazy bitch—" Joe spat out, his hand shooting forward to grab my arm.But before he could squeeze my skin, his father, Arthur, approached us with a beaming smile, holding a heavy glass of scotch in his hand."Joe! Dara! You both look absolutely magnificent tonight!" Arthur boomed happily,
Untamed Desires Chapter 30 Calamity in Silk
As the morning sun rose over the city sky, my phone rang on the nightstand, and Joe’s voice answered with a strange, mocking laugh: "I hope you enjoyed your final night of freedom, Dara, because your father just got picked up by the police for my embezzled funds."My heart stopped for a second, but I quickly caught my breath. "You are bluffing, Joe. My father retired five years ago.""Check the news or call your mother," Joe sneered into the phone. "I put his name on two of the offshore account signatures three years ago when he signed those family trust papers. If I go down tonight, he goes to state prison with me. Think about that before you try anything stupid at the venue."The line went dead with a harsh click.I sat up in bed, my hands trembling slightly, but Rafael reached across the white sheets and took my phone from my fingers."What did he say?" Rafael asked, his voice low and calm."He tried to frame my father for the stolen company funds," I whispered, looking into his ey
Untamed Desires Chapter 29 The Eve of Destruction
A delivery courier was nowhere to be seen, but sitting on my threshold was a massive box of two dozen black roses, and inside was an unmarked white card with a single line printed in sharp, dark ink: Count down the hours, little bride.I picked up the white card, staring at the dark ink. Mia stepped up behind me, peering over my shoulder with a sharp gasp."Is that from Joe?" Mia asked, her voice tight with sudden worry."No," I said softly, a slow smile touching my lips as I recognized the handwriting. "This is from Rafael."I brought the box inside, setting it on the kitchen counter. The quiet threat in those six printed words did not scare me at all. It gave me a strange, thrilling rush of energy. The long wait was finally coming to an end.Thursday night. The eve of the rehearsal dinner.Rafael’s private loft apartment overlooked the vast city skyline. Rain tapped softly against the high glass windows, casting long, dramatic shadows across the polished concrete floor. The city bel
Untamed Desires Chapter 28 Groundwork for a Massacre
A tall figure in a black coat stepped out into the rain, holding a thick brown envelope with my full legal name printed across the front in dark red ink.Rafael immediately shoved the truck into park and killed the engine. He reached into the glove compartment, pulled out a heavy metal pocket knife, and stepped out into the pouring rain before I could even stop him."Rafael, wait!" I called out, pulling my jacket tighter as I watched through the rain covered windshield.The tall figure held up both hands in a calm gesture, handing the thick brown envelope directly to Rafael. They spoke in low, fast voices for less than a minute. Rafael took the envelope, glanced inside it under the streetlights, and nodded once. The figure quickly got back into the dark sedan and drove away into the night.Rafael walked back to the truck, his dark hair soaked from the storm. He climbed into the driver seat and tossed the heavy envelope straight onto my lap."What is this?" I asked, my fingers tracing
Untamed Desires Chapter 27 Cold Skin, Hot Steel
As Rafael backed the truck out into the main road, Joe’s bloodied face appeared clearly in the side mirror, glaring at us with pure, murderous hatred as he wiped the blood from his lip and mouthed five words through the rain: "I will ruin you both."The truck cab was warm, smelling of cedar, heavy rain, and the faint metallic tang of blood from a shallow cut on Rafael’s right knuckles.I sat shivering in the passenger seat, my body trembling violently from the sudden adrenaline crash. My hands were shaking so much I could barely keep my fingers wrapped around the edges of Rafael's heavy jacket.Rafael drove down the winding mountain road in total silence for five long minutes. Then, he suddenly pulled the truck off the main asphalt into a dark, abandoned overlook surrounded by tall pine trees. He threw the transmission into park and cut the bright headlights, plunging us into shadow.He didn't say a single word. He unbuckled his seatbelt with a fast snap, reached across the center con
