Ex's Sinful Possession 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 71 - 챕터 80

Cynthia's POV The morning light felt harsh as it penetrated through the curtains and fell on my face. I had to blink multiple times to adjust my vision to the light. I hadn't slept well. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt Adrian near me. I opened my eyes only to find myself alone in the room. I was just hallucinating but I couldn't shrug off the fear of him going something to me, taking further advantage of my vulnerability. Adrian made Aurora sleep in his room only and forced me to come back to my room. She has asked me to focus on my own recovery so I could look best on my wedding day. Wedding day! It is a dream for every girl and once it was for me as well but right now it seems like my death day. The door clicked open, and Adrian stepped in, dressed in casuals. He looks like a handsome and successful businessman, but I have never been drawn to him like that. He has always been a good friend to me. A soft smile was playing on his lips as he approached the bed. "Had a good

The smell of expensive and familiar cologne hit my nostrils and I didn't need to open my eyes to know who it was. Lucien. He came so unexpectedly and suddenly that my body froze for a second. My heart started thumping so loud in my chest that for a moment I felt it might come out of my chest. When he licked my lower lip for entrance, I came to my senses and tried to push him away by placing my palms flat against his chest but it felt like trying to move a mountain.He is already stronger than I am, and my friend has been drained by days of stress and a lack of food intake. He groaned against my lips in torture and longing when I didn't part my lips for him. When I tried to push him more, he just grabbed my wrists and pinned them above my head against the mirror of the changing room. And he kissed me so hard that it stole my breath away. His lips moved over mine with a hunger that felt like he was trying to reclaim my very soul. It was a messy, possessive, and broken kiss. Lucien

"Mumma?" Aurora's soft voice broke the silence, bringing me out of my thoughts. "Yes, baby?" I whispered, my eyes meeting hers in the reflection in the mirror. "Why are you wearing a big white dress today?" she asked, tilting her head to the sides. Her brow was furrowed in confusion "Is it for a party?"She was dressed in a matching miniature version of my dress, looking like a doll. I swallowed down the lump in my throat. "It’s for the wedding, Aurora. Remember? We talked about this." I told her. She went quiet for a moment, her small fingers tracing the intricate embroidery on my sleeve while I looked at myself in the mirror. The ivory silk of the gown draped over my frame like a cold, beautiful shroud, and the lace around my throat felt like a collar, making it hard for me to breathe. "Mumma..." Aurora's tiny voice once again grabbed my attention. "I don't like this house anymore" she pouted and looked up at me with those tiny teary eyes that melted my heart. "It doesn't feel

Silence A deep silence followed my words. I wanted time to expose him, to find his weakness, so that I could escape with my daughter. That's why I asked Aurora to do the drama, to give me some time. But what I found just shook my world. I was in such shock that I couldn't move from the place. Adrian has been hiding a lot of things from me but I never expected it to be this. I wanted to know the truth about him but I was not ready for this. The yellow sheet in my hand was nothing but Adrian's birth certificate where he was named as Adrian Vaughn, son of Alister Vaughn and Elena White. I swallowed down the lump in my throat as I watched Adrian turn to a statue. He wasn't expecting me to be here and find this hidden truth of his. "You… you lied to me, Adrian," I whispered, my throat bobbing as I struggled to draw enough air into my lungs. "All those stories about the orphanage… the struggle… the self-made man. It was all a lie. You were never an orphan. You… you…"Before I could sa

"Mummmmmaaaaa!" Aurora shouted with the bang of the gun. My heart dropped to my stomach. She is scared. She was terrified beyond anything a four-year-old should ever know, and the man standing in front of me didn't care. I couldn't believe this was the same man who once claimed he couldn't bear to see a single tear in her eyes."Have you gone crazy, Adrian!" I shouted at him, pulling from whatever little energy I had left in my trembling body. "Come to your senses! This isn't you!""This is me!" He snapped back "I am done pretending and waiting!" My heart shivered as I stared into his eyes. There was not even an ounce of mercy to be seen in them. "I never wanted her to live in the first place" he confessed "I tried to kill her multiple times when she was in your womb, but I was never successful."My body froze out of shock. "And I was the happiest when I got to know that she is dealing with a life-threatening disease." His words felt so harsh and heavy that I stumbled back. "I
