All Chapters of Twisted Vows Of Desire : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I stared at the bloodstained note in my trembling hands.“Your mother started this. Now you’ll pay the price.”The words felt like a noose tightening around my throat.My mother?This wasn’t about my father’s corruption scandal. This went deeper—darker.Dominic stood across from me, his expression unreadable, but his tense posture told me everything. He knew something.I lifted my gaze. “Tell me.”His jaw tightened. “Elena—”I stood, despite the throbbing pain in my shoulder. “No more half-truths. No more secrets. If my mother was involved in this war, I deserve to know.”He exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. “It’s not that simple.”Anger flared in my chest. “It never is with you, is it?”His eyes darkened. “Because the truth will destroy everything you think you know.”I stepped closer. “Try me.”He hesitated for a long moment. Then—“Your mother and my father were lovers.”The words hit me like a slap.I staggered back. “What?”His gaze locked onto mine. “It wasn’t ju

The moment we reached Dominic’s penthouse, I knew something was wrong.The security system was armed, the doors were locked, and yet—the air inside felt off.Dominic must have sensed it too. He pushed Thea into my arms and motioned for his security team to check the rooms. Within seconds, his men were clearing the space, weapons drawn.Dominic’s eyes were sharp, scanning every shadow. “Stay here.”I ignored him. “Like hell I will.”I set Thea down carefully on the couch and followed Dominic as he moved deeper into the penthouse. Every muscle in my body was tight, adrenaline still pumping from the warehouse ambush.And then—I saw it.The study door was open.Dominic stilled. The tension in his shoulders was unreadable, but I caught the brief flicker of emotion in his eyes.Recognition.He knew who had been here.I slipped past him and pushed the door open fully. The room was dimly lit, the faint scent of cigars lingering in the air. A single envelope sat on Dominic’s desk.My stomach t

The screeching tires of Dominic’s car came to a halt outside a high-rise building that towered over the city like a dark sentinel. It was a stark contrast to the elegance of his usual penthouse, all sleek lines and polished chrome. The place we arrived at was more hidden, more secretive—a place that seemed to hold more than a few skeletons in its closets.My hands were still shaking from the adrenaline rush as I forced the door open and stepped into the lobby, ignoring the stares of the security team. My mind was still reeling from the revelation about my father and the extent of the chaos I’d just discovered. I should have been terrified, but instead, I was furious.Dominic didn’t say a word as he walked beside me, but I could feel the tension radiating off him, his body coiled like a spring ready to snap.“You’re not going to get away with this,” I muttered through clenched teeth, my anger a firestorm that burned hotter with every step I took.Dominic turned, his eyes flashing with

Darkness swallowed me whole.I couldn’t move. My body was stiff, shackled, held in place by a force far stronger than any physical restraint. My lungs ached, struggling to draw air as the cold steel pressed against my skin. My heartbeat was the only sound in the oppressive quiet, and I could feel it reverberating through my chest, every pulse a reminder of the terror coiling in my stomach.What had Richard done to me?I fought against the darkness, against the haze that clouded my mind. I tried to open my eyes, but the weight of everything was too much, too heavy. It felt as if my very soul was being crushed under the weight of it all. I needed to wake up, to escape, to stop whatever had begun.Think, Elena. Think.Images flashed in my mind—Dominic’s face, twisted with anger and desperation; Richard’s cold smile; the machines in the room, their wires like snakes, winding around me. They weren’t just monitors, not just surveillance equipment. They were something else entirely. I had se

I struggled to catch my breath, my chest tightening under the weight of Dominic's revelation. The screens flickered again, and the harsh truth of our situation began to settle in. My father—the man I had once revered, the one I thought was beyond reproach—was at the heart of it all. The documents, the evidence, the intricate web of lies Richard had spun over the years—everything was now exposed.Dominic had succeeded in bringing the truth to light. But at what price?I gazed at the evidence, my heart racing, struggling to grasp the enormity of it all. Every connection, every dubious transaction orchestrated by Richard was laid out before me. Yet, the most disturbing aspect was the name that loomed large—my father.My hands shook as I reached for the file displayed on the screen. The words seared into my consciousness as I flipped through the pages, each one heavier than the last. My father had been implicated in some of the most despicable acts I could have ever envisioned.
