All Chapters of DAMSEL MEETS DANGER: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

TWENTY MINUTES EARLIER “Scream as loud as you want, Gustavo. Scream even louder. No one can hear you. No one will hear you. I need you to understand that single fact.” A smile, tightened like a predator, formed on his face as he stared at the screaming man.Those words didn't stop Gustavo. He clung on to the single hope that maybe there was a tiny miracle out there for him..Maybe if he kept on screaming, someone would hear and help him out.If that wasn't the case, then he had conserved the little energy he could in the last few days of being locked away brutally, for absolutely nothing.“Yuki? Doesn't his screams remind you of those men the vultures ate their bodies whilst they were still breathing? Remind me again what their crimes were?”“Betrayal,” Yuki quickly answered, also with a smile on his face.“Aha! It truly was betrayal. Nothing quite as irritating as a man who is unloyal, is there?”“I can't think of anything, Vlad. If you can't be a man of your words, cut off your bal

The answer in her head that was devoid of every other thought in that moment, scared the hell out of Ivy.Yes.It was yes with all capital letters.Yes she wanted him to place his lips around hers like the other day. Yes she wanted to feel all of those confusing yet explosive feelings she felt, just like on that day.Yes, yes and yes!“You have no idea what you do to me, do you?” He went on breathlessly, looking directly into her eyes.Her scent was a torture to his senses. Tied to her essence in the most wicked way, his insides convulsed with need.“Do you?” He pressed.Cluelessness dimmed her eyes. “I'm trying here, Ivy. God knows I am. What else do I have to do to make you see how hard I'm trying? Do I need to split my head into two so you can reach into my brain and see firsthand the efforts I'm putting on? I understand, darling–” he paused, and took a deep breath. “I understand how you've lived up until now. I've given all of the grace I have. But you've got to meet me halfway.

“He's unlike any man I personally know. Not like the men we used to know growing up. You know the lords of the time. He actually leads with his heart a lot of time. I see him and I see the biggest contrast between the past and the present. And Gods willing, the future. In the best way of course. Why do you ask?”“Isn't it obvious? My precious girl is married to him. For all of my attempts at shielding her from this exact fate, I couldn't when it was time to back it up with actions. But I know and now you'll know that this marriage isn't forever. It's for a purpose.”“The Cillian Greene case,” he said, remembering vividly how the entire thing played out.“Yes, that. Unfortunately, she's the only one capable of putting an end to that bullshit. She doesn't know how, neither do I. All I know is that the lawyer said something about her being the password, whatever that means. Just like you said before, I'm saying this to say that until this marriage is dissolved, I need to know the charact

IVYAlthough nothing was preplanned or properly discussed with me, I was cued in by the only usher in the room, standing at the far end of the room to go to Vladimir.With my stomach still roped in knots, I kept my head as high as I could manage, and my chin, very straight, and walked to him.“Hey.” He lowered his head and placed a kiss on my cheeks right in front of everyone in the room.My already clenched stomach flipped so hard, I got a mini spasm.“What's this, Vladimir?” I finally found my voice to whisper before he completely pulled away.“Just play along,” he whispered back, and straightened up. “Sorry about that. I was–” he paused, and licked his lips. “Distracted.”They laughed.Not like a pack of hyenas on the haunt. But a deep rumble that spelt opulence in block letters.These were clearly all rich people, so whatever was happening here was definitely a capitalistic venture.I was proven right when Vladimir began to speak again.“Ladies and gentlemen, you've witnessed over

The waves settled, amidst both Ivy and Vladimir trying to brush away all of the particles and droplets of water that had accompanied them.Ivy giggled. “I love the sea.” Her legs stretched out in front of her, and she breathed in salty air.Vladimir moved into a seated position beside her, observing her with tenderness in his eyes.“You're very beautiful, Ivy,” he said, and her gaze swiftly moved sideways to meet him.Only minutes ago, he had told her he wanted her, and now this.“Don't say things like that,” she whispered softly.“Why?” No immediate response was given, so he took it upon himself to keep the conversation going.“What was growing up like for you?”Her heart jumped. Never in a million years had she expected him to ask her a question like that.No one ever did.They all just assumed since her dearest grandmother loved her fiercely, she must have been the happiest child.“Why do you ask?” The words slipped out of her lips, the after effect, a hollow echo.“Just curious.”
