ELENA'S POVMy arrival back to Adrian's house was going smoother than I expected but I'd already learnt not to get used to it, even for a millisecond. The house had become much quieter and almost empty as the maids were all gone, leaving just Adrian, I and Miss Edith. As for the bedroom arrangement, I usually stayed up watching the television as an excuse to fall asleep on the couch even though I'd woken up a few times in Adrian's bed which had me scrubbing vigorously in the shower everytime. In the past few days however, Adrian had seized every chance to put on a show in public, even at the company. Not only did he make me have lunch with him at the cafeteria surrounded by intrigued and blushing gazes, he also spoon fed me and waited on me hand and foot under the prying eyes of the workers. I collapsed on the couch again tonight, eagerly grabbing my bowl of popcorn ready to watch a show I'd begun to love. Just then, the couch seemed to sink a little lower as Adrian occupied the sp

LUCAS' POV The blue rays of my eyes burned with fury as they stayed glued to my television screen hanging on the sparkling white walls of my office. Just as before, my gaze solely focused on Elena- how dazzling she looked in her white dress with her dark brown hair let down covering a decent part of the opening on her back. I knew it was all a scheme by the fucker who dropped on one knee in front of her and just like everyone including me, his eyes shone with expectancy to her response. This deeply bothered me more than I was willing to admit. Those eyes, although arrogant and entitled, held a flowing current of obsession for Elena. Perhaps Adrian was just an ill trained guy who had no idea how to love correctly but, it still didn't change the fact that he possessed something special for Elena. Only it was killing her instead of freeing her. Elena's gaze shifted between the crowd and Adrian with her lips widely parted while she slowly backed away in shock. It killed me to know wh

ELENA'S POVSlowly and most annoyingly, my eyelids fluttered open forcefully tearing me apart from the warmth of the darkness filled with so many of the precious memories of her. It strangely felt like I was leaving a warm embrace, but how come my body felt so warm? Shifting sideways just to make sure, I realized my body was wrapped underneath someone's arms. I slowly rose up to seating position almost falling backwards due to the blood rushing up to my head at once and the dizziness that blurred my vision. My fingers grazed the tiny strands of hair on his hands instantly knowing who this was. Lucas. He had probably watched me and worried for so long without even a blink to make him fall into such a deep sleep. The car slowly came to a stop at the front of his apartment making me scrunch up my face in confusion. Did Adrian really allow Lucas bring me to his house? Well, it wasn't like he could do anything to me at a courthouse and besides, his mother had just been revealed to have

LUCAS' POVI paced up and down the living room ignoring the words of Nathan and the lawyer I'd hired for Elena. Why did I not consider the possibilities of this happening? For fuck's sake, Elena still had a lot to process and someone, whoever this psycopath was had the heart to kidnap her? “I'm going over there”, I suddenly announced, heading towards the door only to be held back by Nathan and a firm gaze from the lawyer who rushed in front of me. “Legally, she is still his wife and the court hasn't seen a reason to put a restraining order yet so whatever you do, you're only shooting yourself in the foot”, he sternly advised, raising his chin towards me. His words only seemed to fuel my already ignited anger and I inched closer to his face, showing no signs of being intimidated by his posture. “I shot myself in the foot the moment I let her out of my sight for just one second!”, I yelled into his face, frustration lacing every inch of my face. “And if you're any good of a lawyer lik

CHAPTER 89LUCAS' POV Tonight made it sixth night since I last set my eyes on Elena which made my eye bags grow larger and darker. At first, I had tried to use every means to draw Katrina out of her hiding but unlike her, I didn't know any of her weaknesses. With each passing day, my senses were heightened for a threatening text or a phone call from her just to confirm Elena was with her, but none came. Despite the multiple glasses of hot scotch flowing down my throat and burning every part of my body, the pain still managed to surpass the burning sensation in my chest.What would they be doing to her? Was she in pain? Was she calling out my name? Even as my imaginations grew worse each minute, I still couldn't dare to imagine the worst. If there was no trace of Elena in the world anymore, I would erase myself instantly and find her wherever she was. For now, Elena's lawyer had managed to get the next court date postponed until a week time while Adrian had strongly resisted to the
