Audrey’s POV:My heartbeat accelerated as I looked into his deep dark eyes, those eyes I’d loved during the times of my gullibility. I couldn't stop myself from trembling slightly at the sight of him, not from fear but from something else entirely. I also couldn't control my hand which was shaking vehemently, but then my face was passive... emotionless.The monster who was standing in front of me was more deadly than anyone I have met; he was the type capable of drawing you close just to kill you when you least expect.I would call him a beast. One who would shred another into pieces in the blink of an eye. I stared at my feet. I couldn't look at him, not even for a second.He reached out for my hand and goose bumps appeared all over my body. I flinched at his cold touch. His fingers were still the same. Nothing changed about him.My fearful self looked up and my eyes rested on his face. I was expecting to see the hatred that burned in them. That hatred which was always there... eve

Audrey's POVMy eyelids snapped open and my heart began to race when I discovered that I was in a strange room and on a strange bed. The bed was so soft that I almost wanted to succumb to the lushness that came with it. I sighed as the memories of last night flashed through my mind. I could remember how Jacob's soldiers had captured me and brought me here and now I am sure that Kaden would be dead worried about me right now and would probably be in search of me. I could imagine the rage he would be feeling right now and prayed that he gets to find me quicker than Jacob decides to use me for one of his sick jokes; Someone would definitely lose his head in a blood battle."This is surprising," I muttered, staring at my free hands. I had totally thought that my hands were tied or cuffed…or something like the captured prisoner that I was but instead, they left my hands free; even my legs were untied."It seems my captors are foolish" I muttered to myself, hoping that no one would hea

Audrey’s POV“Shit!” Kaden curses under his breath, which made me turn to look in his direction. I wanted to ask him what was wrong until I noticed that he was staring out the car’s window at something… or someone beyond. I tried to take a peek at what it was but found nothing; in fact, it was almost as if he was seeing things I could not see.The car came to a stop shortly after that and the first thing I was greeted with as soon as I stepped out of Kaden’s car was an angry looking Shantel. She looked like she had just been run over by a moving truck and let out strings of profanities from her lips like they meant absolutely nothing.The only thing which bothered me though was the fact that she was directing her insults at me.I mean me… why?“If you have any problems with anyone, go to them and stop raining spittle on my face.” I snapped at her, and smirked inwardly when I saw the shock register on her face.“It’s how you can pretend to be a saint in front of everyone when you kno

Audrey’s POV: The excitement of feeling stronger waned and was replaced with irritation when I remembered the position I’d met Kaden and Shantel in. Whenever I closed my eyes or even blinked, I would see them embracing, would see how close they’d been with their arms circled around each other and it still made me see red. Pure red rage. …and I hated Kaden for it. Hated that he had the ability to make me feel different strong emotions and could also use it to his advantage. I also hated that he didn’t feel any form of remorse for what he’d done. He didn’t try to explain, neither could he even look me in the eye. After my hands had totally healed themselves, I pushed the door open, stormed inside my room and slammed the door shut behind me with so much force. It shook on its hinges but I paid no attention to it instead it only seemed to fuel my anger even more. My mind was everywhere, and my brain was too fogged up with anger to care about anything else. All I cared about was a w

Kaden's POV:"I know you've got lots of documents to handle, why don't you go handle them and come back later while I sort these documents out." I said whilst avoiding Adler’s stare."Are you indirectly saying I should give you some space? Sending me out of your office" Adler retorted sharply, he understood exactly what my words meant, yet he asked me rhetorical questions.I knew the best way to get Adler out of my office, and he hated this so much that he wouldn't hesitate to leave my officeI stared at him for minutes, gathering my words and phrases, looking for the right words that would sink directly into his head. "You know sometimes I feel there's a nut stuck in your brain that needs to be removed. You act like a wise man sometimes and the other days you're a total nutcase. It's quite difficult to ascertain if you’re really okay or not." "I would be leaving now. '' Adler said quickly, but before I could say a word, he walked out of my office. I knew Adler hated being insulted,
