All Chapters of The Varkas Brothers And Their Princess : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

BELLADONNA After Kade… knotted in me, he passed out, still buried deep inside me. The last time he rutted, he didn't pass out, so that made me think whatever drug Medea used was having effects on him. “Damn that woman,” I whispered as I untucked my face from his chest, looking up to see his peaceful expression as he slept, his breathing soft. He really was beautiful. Sleeping like this, with his guard down and his face relaxed, he looked different. “I love you.” Those words kept playing over and over in my head. The softness of his voice as he said it, the way his heart picked up. He meant those words. So why couldn't I say them back? I felt something for him. I know I did. What I felt for him was a strong emotion, but could I call it love? Was it possible to love twice in the same lifetime? They always say there is a person for everyone, a single person. I was so sure Luca was that person for me. Deep down, I knew he was, so could I love after that? Could I open my hea

I paused at the door as I saw the two of them together. They were both conversing deeply, and there was a frown between Kade’s brows. My heart dropped to my stomach as I saw that look in his face and I marched to them, my heart beating so loud that I felt they would hear it. Kade was the first to notice me but my eyes were trained on Raines.“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” I asked as I stepped between them, my back facing Kade and I fixed a hard look on Raines. He simply stared at me with his expression looking… cocky. “What does it seem like I'm doing, Mrs. Varkas?”“It seems like you were poking in where you shouldn't,” I answered, my voice hard and cold. There was just something about this man that brought out the coldness in me. I didn't like him at all. There was just something… about him, something about him that made my guard stand on alert. “By congratulating Mr. Varkas on fixing this mess?” Raines asked, a teasing note in his voice but somehow, he managed to lo

I went to my office after that, needing some alone time to get my shit together. I was going to tell Kade today. No matter what happened, I was going to make sure I told him, because Raines was an unpredictable person. You could never tell what he was thinking. I knew he wouldn't just stop there. So before anything came between us, I was going to put an end to it. “Gianna, is Kade free right now?” I asked because she knew his schedule. “Yes,” she answered, still typing. “He had a meeting twenty minutes ago, but he’s done.”I stood up, inhaling deeply. “Wish me luck, Gianna,” I said as I moved to the door. “There’s no need for that,” was her response. “You’re scared for nothing.”“I hope I am.”I took the elevator down to his floor, trying not to fidget and wrinkle my shirt. I really hope Gianna’s words were true and that there was really no need for me to be nervous. I got to his floor and when I stepped into his department, there weren't any whispers as there were last time, an

“I had hoped this wouldn't happen,” Raines said as he put his gun away. “Believe it or not, but I don't want to hurt you.”I didn't look away from him, even when Medea crawled back to his side. She wasn't who I should be worried about; this man was. I was worried earlier for the wrong person, but I didn't even think Medea would have company, and a Colonel, no less. “But you still shot me,” I snarled, still on my knees, my hand pressed against the wound on my thigh so I could reduce the blood. The wound was starting to heal, though. I couldn't let that happen. The bullet was still lodged inside. If my wound healed, it would close and seal the bullet in. That was going to cause another problem. “Apologies,” Raines said with the same tone and expression he would use to tell someone to go to hell. I sat up, facing Raines and looking up at him. “Your apology is being reviewed,” I said as I stretched my injured leg, looking at him eye to eye as I dug my fingers into the wound. I bite m

When I opened my eyes again, I was… moving. My eyes were opened, but I still wasn't aware of my environment. My brain was taking a while to catch up. I blinked a few times and that was when I heard the rumble of an engine.I was in a car. “Stop,” I said, my voice hoarse. “Stop this car.”The brake was slammed so suddenly that I almost went flying. “Kade? Are you awake?”I turned my head to see Gianna’s worried face. Her eyebrows were furrowed, sweat between us. “You are awake,” she said, looking down at me and I realized I was lying down on the back seat. “What happened, Kade? Belladonna suddenly called me in the dead of the night and asked me to track your location. When I tracked your location to this place, I knew something was off, but she told me not to follow. I followed her, but I did thirty minutes after she was gone, because I had a bad feeling. And then I get to the warehouse and I see blood everywhere, you and Medea unconscious and covered in blood. I called the police
