Falling in love with the Devil’s son のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

ELENAI sat in the backseat of the Volkswagen, fuming quietly, trying to get my breath under control.How did he manage to rile me up so much every time? Why did he affect me so much?..in good ways..in bad ways.I didn’t like how possessive Atlas Grant was. Not one bit.I hated being bossed around.But sometimes…I found myself enjoying that possessiveness a little too much. Wanting it. Wishing for it. Craving it.What the hell was wrong with me?Why was I so hell-bent on self-destructing, stringing along three brothers in different time zones?A family with more to it than met the eye.I let out a deep, frustrated sigh, leaning my head back against the headrest.What had he meant, though?When he’d said he could ruin me in ways I couldn’t imagine…I couldn’t stop thinking about that too.For some reason, I got intensely turned on whenever those words popped back into my head, and a lot of ideas flashed across my mind.Ideas of what he could possibly mean.And my thoughts leaned more t

ELENAI woke up trapped. Not like, in a cage. Or a dungeon. Or a forest. But in a pair of ripped arms, and snuggled up against a wall that smelt like aftershave. It was a heady sensation, this trap and this smell. Oh, no, no. This didn’t happen again.Fuck.I didn’t just sleep with fucking Atlas Grant again.What was I even thinking? What was my problem?True, he had a way of touching me so deliciously that made me lose my damn mind. He had a way of looking at me that made my insides turn to mush…But it didn’t mean I had to succumb like a fool.I’d promised myself I wouldn’t let myself sleep with Atlas Grant again, ever, no matter how tempted I got, but I’d gone and broken that promise without even so much as a fight. The pain of regret and humiliation ripped my soul to shreds, sending a searing sensation shooting straight up my throat.I slowly and carefully lifted my head off the pillow, glancing down at his sleeping face. The way his lashes rested beautifully against his fac

ATLASI paced about the room, dialing Elena’s number for about the hundredth time. And it got directed to the same place, again. Voicemail.I let out an agitated groan, running a hand through my hair impatiently. “Are you going to tell me what the problem is?” Keelan demanded, watching me under hooded eyes. “What has got you so worked up?”“Her calls keep going straight to voicemails,” I ground out, my jaw twitching, and his eyes swept across the length and breadth of the room. “Where is she?” He didn’t need to ask who I was talking about.“I don’t know man,” I sighed, gripping the phone tightly in my fingers. “I just woke up and..and she was gone.” I paused, scratching my jaw. “And my father has just informed me of a meeting scheduled for twelve noon. My presence is mandatory. What the hell do I do?”His eyes were narrowed into slits as he watched me, almost as if he couldn’t believe me. “And why are you in her suite in the first place, Atlas?” He demanded, his tone dripping with

ATLAS“That’s your princess over there,” Dominik crooned, signaling with a snap of his fingers, for her to be brought over to where she stood. The guard started across the vast space, nudging Elena forward every now and then with the nuzzle of the gun, her eyes never leaving my face. “I know you have a gun with you, mate,” Dominik said, “and I also know you know better than to risk the life of this damsel over here. So?” He held out a palm, silently urging me to drop my weapon. But I just glared at him, mentally calculating the time it would take Keelan to eventually drag his feet over to wherever the power supply was, so he could cut the damn thing off. “Come on, mate,” he urged. “Look around you, it’s eleven to one.” The guard pushed Elena over to Dominik now, who caught her by the hair, lifting his gun to her face swiftly. “I mean,” he curled her hair around his fingers, pulling her to him, “you wouldn’t be stupid enough to risk it, right?” He put the gun under her chin, tilt

ATLASI placed a call for a private nurse as soon as we got to the hotel, the pain that shot through my chest and entire body, overwhelming. A bullet was lodged in my shoulder, and it took everything in me to not scream from the pain. But despite the pain, I couldn’t take my eyes off Elena. Who paced the entire fucking goddamn suite. “Shouldn’t we get you to a hospital or something?” She queried, lines of agitation twisting her features. “You’re bleeding heavily,” she added, gesturing at my arm. I sighed, sinking into the large king-size bed. “I’m fine, Elena,” I breathed.“No you’re not!” She shot back, veins standing out on the side of her neck. “Obviously!”Was she…worried for me?“Don’t worry about it,” I replied, waving a hand in dismissal. “I paged someone already. I’ll get it treated soon enough.”She still looked unconvinced, making me chuckle. “I’m serious. Help’s on the way.”Sighing, she raked her fingers through her hair, resuming her relentless pace. Just then, a kn
