The Incubus's Secretary (The Dark Council Series Book 2) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Chapter 30:Sanaya’s P.O.V“Did she really think that trick would work?” I frowned as the elevator doors closed behind Asmara.Lancelin visibly relaxed as soon as the words were out of my mouth. “It usually does.” He walked over to me and pulled me into his arms, cupping my face tenderly in his palms. “Are you sure you’re okay? You don’t have any urge to doubt me or accuse me of cheating on you?”“Lance, if I had to accuse you of anything, it wouldn’t be because of Asmara.” I told him clearly because that’s what he needed to hear from me; the truth. “I’m intelligent enough to know that you’re not the kind of person who would suddenly decide to sleep with a woman who had both you and Acelin riled up, not to mention your mom as well.”A smile broke out on Lancelin’s face as a droplet of water dripped onto my ch

Chapter 32:Sanaya’s P.O.V“Now…how about the name for Acelin’s mysterious lover.”I narrowed my eyes at Lancelin, debating on giving up on one of Acelin’s biggest secrets. Acelin usually didn’t hide things from his family and if he was hiding something then it meant that either he was really serious or still undecided. But as far as I’ve known, or as much as Acelin had told me, they had been together for over a decade. If it wasn’t serious then I don’t know what was.I sighed. A deal was a deal after all and Lancelin had kept his end of the bargain. “His name is Gustav Paltro; I think you know him with him being an Incubus and all.” I told him finally.“Gustav?” Lance raised his eyebrows at me. “The womanizer Gustav Paltro who has probably slept with every woman in New York City?”“Rude!” I made a fa

Chapter 34:Sanaya’s P.O.VIt took me a while to realize that the mind-numbing feeling of despair I had felt the first time I’d seen him was completely gone.Now, looking at that handsome face, those deep blue eyes and that smile, I felt nothing but a slight sense of irritation towards him. Nothing else. It was like, after the initial shock of seeing the face of the man I once love had blown over, I now only felt what I thought I might always feel towards him…annoyance.“What do you want, Keith?” I narrowed my eyes at him.“Well, I would to talk but letting me in would be nice.” Keith shifted from one feet to another nervously but the smile was still intact on his face.“Sana? Who is it-Oh! Keith!” My mother could not have chosen a worse time to check on the door. “Why don’t you come I-”“No way in hell!” I snapped.

Chapter 36:Sanaya’s P.O.VFor a few seconds, I just sat in my seat, looking at the glass dumbfounded.The red liquid trickled down the glass pane of the driver’s side window in a slow eerie manner. I watched the path of the red droplets without blinking. Was I supposed to do something? My mind was completely blank, devoid of any thoughts or feelings. My hands and feet seemed glued into place...like pieces of lead. There was something else also trickling down along with the blood. Some things…that did not belong in the window pane.I couldn’t hear anything except for a white noise. My vision blurred. The red becoming hazy before it came into sharp focus.A scream went up in the air, followed by another. And that was when my brain finally kicked into gear.I fiddled with the handle to the car door before swinging it wide open. I almost jumped out, only to be jerked back against the se

Chapter 38:Sanaya’s P.O.VI went to turn around but Acelin was suddenly behind me, blocking my exit.“Stop.” He told me, grabbing on to my shoulders and refusing to let go. “Look.”“You think this is some kind of a sick joke!” I spat at him but my voice broke.“Look!” Acelin growled and spun me around to face the glass, holding me in place with his inhuman strength. “Look!”My hands were balled into fists and my entire body was trembling from rage and betrayal. I refused to look at the man who could hurt me like this. Again! I was once again betrayed by the man I loved!A crash sounded from inside the room and I looked inside despite myself…to find the nurse on the floor, looking disheveled and flustered while Lancelin clutched his chest, panting like he’d run a marathon.“Leave!” His voice was hoarse an
