All Chapters of Bound by debt; Freed by love: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

LUCAS' POVMy ears filled to the brim with the continuous banter between Eloise and Nathan while we parked at the underground parking lot of an high end club at the other end of the city. No matter how I tried to zone out of their childish arguments, my head still clinged on to the bit of entertainment it offered. “Are you trying to seduce him or sleep with him instead?”, Nathan asked, sounding deeply irritated. “The fuck Nathan”, she exclaimed, eyeing him in disgust while I seriously contemplated saying a brief sentence just to add to Nathan's wounds but instantly decided against it, waiting for the right moment to strike him. “The floor is open to everyone else in there except Adrian”, she said, pushing a strand of her hair backwards. I swallowed back a laughter at the livid expression forming on Nathan's face with Eloise turning away from him and wearing a smug expression. It wasn't still clear as to when Nathan must have developed feelings for Eloise but I wasn't sure he knew h

ELENA'S POV Two weeks of endless torture. Two horrible weeks spent in total darkness. My stomach rumbled and my ears bled with maddening screams and threats from Adrian. If anything, I had truly underestimated the degree to how Adrian took the divorce. His obsession had somehow tripled due to the turn of events and this time, I was left with no option to fight back. Although, his awareness of my grit and determination had made him strap my hands to the bed where I laid throughout to stop me from doing anything. Each day, he came in with nice treats and started off soft spoken but once I refused to give in to anything he said, it felt like an outrageous beast emerged from inside of him. Broken pieces of kitchen ware rained down on my body, slicing through different spots on my skin as he ranted furiously without a care of his hurtful actions. After a while, I'd grown numb to his aggressiveness and even his fleeting kindness whenever he saw the clotted blood on my skin by the next

LUCAS' POV The court room was in total uproar by now with everyone scurrying outside for their safety. Despite knowing Elena and I were far from harm of any kind, my arms still held her tight to my sides protectively with my gaze following her slithering figure while the dumb officers forced Adrian and Robert to the ground, should they have had ulterior motives. “Let's go out through the back”, I whispered, still keeping my eyes at the direction she went through and leading Elena out following the opposite direction. Luckily, the nosy media was too occupied murmuring about the gun shot inside and asking questions they would never get the answer to, so Elena and I snuck peacefully among them and finally caught up with the ‘snake’. “What are you trying to prove now, sister?”, I asked on sighting her from behind, once we were a few inches apart. She slowly turned around, uncovering her face which still had that air of mysteriousness to it, making me raise my guard up as soon as I let

LUCAS' POVHer hair swayed lightly on her shoulders, tossed left and right by the cool evening breeze and even from a mile away, the disappointment still oozed strongly around her…and a bit of sadness. A sharp pain stung my rapidly beating heart as I realized the reason for her countenance was me. It was ironic how no matter how good my intentions were, she still didn't find the sight she stumbled upon justifiable. Especially after I'd mistakenly pulled the trigger but luckily didn't murder him. My shock on seeing her greatly exceeded the involuntarily shot at the judge, perharps because somewhere deep down in my heart, I already believed he deserved it. Plus my status and connections could easily hide the truth from the public but Elena's sudden prescence inside the room felt like I was draped in a huge clothe of sin and dirt. The disappointed look in her eyes was like the mirror I could barely look at each day, dismantling the perfect facade I always tried to keep on whenever I

ELENA'S POV We waited outside the white doors revealing nothing but just a blinking red light as I constantly stared at it with increasing worry each minute. From her test results, it seemed she had gone into a state of shock as she was unable to resist the force of the bastard I now found out to be her father. “If she doesn't wake up,I swear I'll–”, I furiously muttered underneath my breath, slamming my fists into each other. “You knew about this and didn't think to do something?”, I faced Lucas, leaning silently on the wall and more quieter since we arrived at that scene. The more I tried to imagine what would have happened if we hadn't gotten there on time, the more my blood boiled in anger and I felt the goosebumps creep up all the way around my skin. I turned to look around my surroundings, clicking my teeth in regret as Nathan still hadn't returned from taking care of Eloise' father. He deserved to be lashed at even more. Finally, the doors opened redirecting my restless m
