Lahat ng Kabanata ng CAPTIVE OF DESIRE : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

PAXTON CARSON At a tender age, I learned different survival skills, which excluded taking what was not mine and taking another person's life. I detest those and it makes my skin crawl. I grew up in a fucking complex and dysfunctional family filled with secrets and lies and I don't take "NO" for an answer. Especially when it comes to taking what belongs to me. I am thirty, and for the past fifteen years of my goddamn life, nobody has ever taken something that belongs to me, and not even a single man has done it because of the repercussion behind it. And now, a mere woman has done it. A single woman has taken what belongs to me and I am going to get it back. And if she refuses, I won't hesitate to do to her what I do to traitors.I am not a man who involves himself in some idle chatters, and I am not one to go to social events, but I broke the rule. I allowed a snake into my social life for just a few hours, and she released loads of venom by making my golden wristwatch, jewelry,y, a

LINXARA BROOKESuddenly, two of the female cops grabbed my arms on both sides. I struggled to get their hands off me but they didn't move. They were like bricks. It left me wondering how much they have exercised for them to look like this. That aside, I shifted my gaze to the heartless man who refused to listen to me. "I promise you, I didn't steal your money or your golden wristwatch. I swear to you." I said, hoping he would listen to me but this devil-like man wasn't ready to listen to my bullshit. "Oh, are you saying that I am a fool? That I was drunk? It was you. You gave me a private service. I paid you, and you still went ahead to do what you want, and now you have to face the consequences. Do you understand that?" He seethed and his face grew even darker. I felt anger brewing in the depths of my stomach. How else was I going to prove myself to this heartless man? I am a virgin. I have never done such nasty things with him. Who else is going to believe me now? My boss. My bo

LINXARA POVCladded in a rolled-up sleeve, white shirt,, and a black office pant. His blue eyes were scanning me, taking in my look. Honestly, I don't care; I have no business with this man at all. I don't have a business with him. I don't even know him at all. This was all Vynessa's fault. She was the one who slept with him. I have never slept with someone in my life. My gaze shifted to the brown envelope on the table. What was it about? Was he about to sue me further and take me to court? How do I explain to this hard-headed and hot-tempered man that I know nothing about his missing jewelry and money?I folded my arms. I still have to let him understand that I didn't steal from him. It wasn't me but the problem was that I was finding it so hard to say it was my twin sister. The police will find her, capture her, and throw her in jail. This will lead to depression for my mother. Something bad might happen to her. Her blood pressure will go higher. I'd rather stay here and prevent t

LINXARA'S POV I ran as fast as I could, trying to get out of this huge place. I kept running like my life depended on it, but it felt like no matter how fast I ran, I was running in circles. Like running from a point and coming back to that same point again. My visions were getting blurry. I was getting weaker, and before I knew it, I stumbled on the floor, and I felt a sharp pain in my ankle. The pain held me down like a predator holding down its prey. Then he caught up with me staring deep into my eyes like he was going to hit me. I raised my arm, using it like a shield, thinking he was going to hit me, but he didn't. Instead, he went on his knees in front of me, and I burst into tears, pleading with me not to hurt me and to let me go. Tears rolled out of my eyes. "Please I am begging you, don't hurt me. Let me go home. I don't want to be here at all. Please. I am not used to this kind of life. I didn't steal your stuff. Please. I want to go home to my mother. I want to -" "Shh

LINXARA'S POVI was faced with ten wealthy people. His family members. My heart raced so fast as their eyes bored into my skin. I bit my lips as their judging eyes pierced through my body. It was like they were waiting for me to say something. My gaze shifted to Paxton whose eyes were on mine. Sweats formed on my palm. "What is this...I can't..." I said silently through gritted teeth. Paxton looked away, cutting me off completely. Just as I was about to say something, two identical twins rushed to me instantly and hugged me. My heart almost dropped. One of the twins kept kissing my cheek, giggling. "Oh, brother. Your girlfriend is so pretty." The twin sister kissing my cheek squealed and the rest of them laughed. "I love your skin. What skincare product do you go for? Fenty? Rare? Sephora? Mag -"The second twin sister was cut off by a tall man in his fifties. He has the same eye color as Paxton and the same hair color. Looking at them, one could see that he is the older version
