Chapter Twenty-One

Alana’s POVI lay still on the armchair at the spa, my face covered in a facial mask, when my phone buzzed. I reached for my phone immediately and I saw Eleanor’s name. I quickly answered the call. His voice was sharp and filled with panic which made me sit upright.“We have to meet now,” she said.“Velvet Cellar. One hour,” I replied, waving away the aesthetician. I didn't care about the treatment anymore; if Eleanor was calling like this, the world was on fire.******************************An hour later, I stepped into the dim, private booth at the Velvet Cellar. Eleanor was already there, picking at her nails. Her face was a picture of disappointment.“She’s alive,” Eleanor said without saying hello. “After you called I went to the hospital to see things for myself, but she’s going to make it. She’ll be discharged in a few days.”I felt a wave of cold fury. “So we failed? All that risk for nothing?”“It's actually worse,” Eleanor whispered, leaning over the table. “Drecos is on

Chapter Twenty-two

Drecos’s POV My gun stayed pointed at her forehead as she kept blabbering. I wanted to see the light leave her eyes. I wanted to hear her beg for her life. But as she made to speak again the room exploded. Bang. The girls head snapped back, then she slumped to the ground. I turned around, my gun still in the air, my heart was pounding with hot pure rage. Eleanor stood there, her face looking pale her pistol still smoking. “What the hell did you just do?” I shouted. My mind was going crazy. Even if I wanted her dead I also wanted to hear what she had to say, I wanted to be the one to pull the trigger. “Why did you shoot her? I wanted her to die by my hands.” Eleanor looked at the body, then at me, her eyes teary up. “I’m sorry, Drecos. I just… I didn't know what came over me I had to do it I hand a feeling she was going to lie to you, and it made me so angry. Seeing her sit there after what she did to Audrey... I just couldn't take it. I got carried away with rage. I know you w

Chapter Twenty-three

Drecos’s POVThe air in the hospital corridor was thick, but it was nothing compared to the tension inside the room. The moment I heard the words come out of Audrey’s mouth the words hit me like a physical blow.I took a step closer to Audrey’s bed as I stood in between the doctor and Audrey. My blood runs cold. Secrets are dangerous in my world; they are shadows where the enemies hide. I watched as the doctor excused himself, his eyes fixed on mine as he quickly looked away seconds before he hurried out. I didn't like the way he avoided my gaze.I walked towards Audrey’s bed. “What secret Audrey?” I asked with a low voice demanding the truth. “What were you two discussing that I’m not allowed to know?”She looked at me, and for a moment the world seemed to stop. Her eyes held pain and unshed tears. She looked so fragile, her face was pale except for the faint flush on her cheeks. There wasn't any hint of deception in her expression, only a haunting vulnerability that made my chest ac

Chapter Twenty-Four

Audrey’s POVI didn't think I just acted. I quickly sprang up and moved my body off the bed.“Audrey? What are you?…”I let out a sharp, choked gasp as I let my legs give way. I collapsed forward, my hands hitting the floor with a loud thud. “Oh! My head…”“Oh my God, Audrey!” Eleanor let out, dropping the bag instantly to rush to my side. She grabbed my shoulders, her face full of panic and concern. “Your body is not ready to be up! You’re still so weak!”As she stood over me, helping me back toward the bed, I used the chaos. My foot hooked around the strap of the bag on the floor. With one swift, silent kick, I sent it sliding deep under the shadows of the bed frame.“I'm sorry,” I whispered, leaning into her as she sat me back down. I looked up at her with watery, grateful eyes. “I just... I wanted to tell you how sweet you've been to me. Especially at the party. The way you defended me against Alana... I don’t know what I would have done without you.”Eleanor’s expression softened

Chapter Twenty - Five

Drecos’s POVOur heads were so close that the rest of the world faded away leaving just her in my universe. Every instinct I possessed, the cold, calculating part of me that had kept me alive for all these years was screaming at me to withdraw. Don't do this. Don't let her in. But I couldn't move back. There was a magnetic pull, a raw, invisible force, pulling me towards Audrey. My gaze dropped to her lips, and for the first time in my life, I was not in control.Just as our lips were about to lock, a sharp rhythmic knock shattered the silence.The spell broke. We froze, then jumped apart with lightning speed, the electric heat between us vanishing in an instant. I felt a surge of pure unmistakable fury come over me.“Dammit”, I muttered under my breath, my heart still hammering against my ribs. I turned toward the door. “Hold on,” I barked.I stepped out to meet my head of security, holding my phone. He looked hesitant, but he stood his ground. “Boss, your phone. It has been ring
