Bloodstained Promises Chapter 41 : Fighting Back
We ventured outside into the clear night sky, stars shining brightly above us, his black sedan waiting at the curb with a blond driver hovering near the open back door. He didn't even look at me, only nodding his head in acknowledgment to Trevor, who obviously knew him quite well. Unveiling his mystery further, Trevor's true identity now revealed itself as one of power and authority. It was a side of him I hadn't seen before and suddenly it seemed as if he had been protecting dark secrets all along.Hell, maybe his father was too. Because there was no way he got this powerful on his own.Over the years, I had tried to avoid him like the plague. But it wasn’t always possible, and the side of him I saw around my mother and his father was different. Now looking at him, I knew how poisonous he really was. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and though others thought him to be so wonderful, I knew he wasn’t.Would I really get into that car and let him do whatever he wished? Would I
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 42 : Battle for Freedom
NashThe moment that we got closer to the warehouse, I pulled the car off and made sure that we were prepared. It was no surprise to me that he had men everywhere because as we continued on after arming ourselves to the teeth, rapid-fire descended down upon us as if it was hail pelting the car. I swerved in and out. Brady was trying to help with cover fire as I tried to drive and shoot out the left side, cars coming up behind us, hitting the back end, and Sasha screaming in the back seat. I knew it wasn't a good idea to bring her. But I did it anyway because she had insisted.Was it foolish of me? Perhaps. But I had one thing in mind and that focus was to get Vanessa back.Never in my life have I ever considered love or the true meaning behind the word. I loved my mother once Upon a time. I had family I had considered loving. But nothing really ever made sense until I met Vanessa. At first, it was just someone that I had wanted. A conquest, perhaps? Who knows? But over time
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 43 : Danger in the Sky
VanessaThey say that when you hit rock bottom, the only path is up, but for me, I wasn’t sure how true that actually was. One minute I was happy with a man I enjoyed being around more than anything, and the next minute, I was a prisoner to a man who tormented me for years. My freedom was just outside my grasp, and I was thrown into darkness by a drug-induced coma only to awaken feeling heavier than I had before.My eyes fluttered open slowly, hope filling me that Nash would appear at my side any moment, but instead, I was met with leather chairs and dim lighting. Grogginess once again filtered through my mind, and it didn’t matter which way I tried to move, my entire body felt heavy as if a weighted blanket was placed over me, and I couldn’t get comfortable.With my eyes focused, I took in the overhead storage bins with wall-to-wall cream coloring and a variety of other beige leather seats as well as small tables and men. The same men I had seen with Trevor.Oh god…it was t
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 44 : A villa in Greece
I wasn’t sure how long we had driven or where we were going. But the drive to wherever Trevor was taking me was breathtaking. All around me, the sea glistened outside the window of the vehicle. The sun shone off the water, giving it a heavenly glow that I had never seen before. I had always wanted to travel by myself across the ocean to visit the rest of the world, but I had never dared to.The last time I had come across the ocean was with my mother, and Trevor had made even that visit almost unbearable.The vehicle turned off the main road and traveled closer to the sea before turning down another road that led towards a large white mansion on the side of a hill with multiple other buildings around it, followed by a massive stone wall. The place was huge, far bigger than anything I had seen before, and with it, more guards.Except these paced the walls with large guns in their hands, and a look of ‘take no shit’ plastered on their faces as we passed through the gates.“Where
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 45 : Dinner with a Monster
“Thank you everyone for coming,” Trevor’s words rang loud and clear across the twelve-seat cherry wood dining table, standing next to me at the head of the table and addressing the men and women that sat around us. I didn’t know who they were, and I didn’t care to.I had tried to stay in the warmth of the shower for as long as I could, avoiding what was going to end up happening once I was finished, but Sophia wouldn’t allow me that luxury. The moment I stepped outside of the bathroom wrapped in a white fluffy towel, she was waiting for me with the most concerned expression on her gaze as she realized I was far from ready.“Tonight, I want to welcome back the woman I have loved for far too long. She was away at school, and now has returned to take her place by my side while I begin the transition with my father to take his place in leadership.”I didn’t have the slightest fucking clue what he was talking about and honestly, I didn’t care. But I was sick and tired of him telling p
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 46 : Secret Friends
NessaMy night was endless as I had tossed and turned within the lush bed dreading what was to come. I feared that Trevor was going to come to me. That he was going to slip into my bed in the middle of the night forcing himself upon me. The thoughts terrorized me every second of the day and night for a long time in my life. I thought I was strong. That I could fight him and free myself, but every second I spent here locked up waiting, I felt my sanity losing control.Curled up within the thick white blankets, the soft pink silk shorts and top set that was given to me clung to my skin, I contemplated my situation as I had done since I got here.Fighting him was no use, and though I was never one to really wallow in self-pity, I sure as hell was right now. The dark depression that hung over my head was like a gray cloud that I couldn’t get rid of.“Miss…” Sophia’s soft voice echoed from the bedroom doorway. My eyes slowly drifted towards her as I took in the same lonely figure
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 47 : Let the Fires Burn
When she said he was coming, I had expected the same day. Instead, though, it was two days later and I was no less a captive than I had been the day he took me. Every second that trekked on, part of me was losing hope, but a stronger part of me refused to give up. And as for Sophia, I hadn’t seen her in twenty-four hours. The idea that she may have been caught troubled me. She had been nothing but friendly towards me, but what if someone found out that she was plotting with me to escape?Standing in the sunroom of the large villa, the glass walls and roof let the sunshine down on me. The warmth of its rays tried to light the fire in my heart, but no matter the light I felt empty and alone. Trevor hadn’t tried anything with me since that night on the stairs, but every time I was around him, I had to endure his slow caresses against my back and hips that made me want to tear off my skin.I hated him. More than anything in this world, I wished him dead.He had taken to planning our
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 48 : Battle for Love
NashIt had taken too long for me to get to Greece, but now that I was here, I felt a thirst for blood flowing through my veins that I barely recognized. Laying upon the dirt and grass hillside, I peered up through heavy binoculars towards the white villa two hundred yards in front of me. I had been waiting for this moment, and though Brady and I had a plan in place, I was ready to ditch it all and storm in there killing everyone in my path.“Get yourself together, Nash,” he snapped at me from under his breath. “We can’t divert from the plan. That’s what will get us and her killed.”“I know, I know.” Gritting my teeth, I tried to focus on what I was supposed to be doing. I wasn’t usually the person who had to be reminded. In fact, I was always the one snapping at others to get their shit together, but not right now.Right now this situation was too close to home for me. And Vanessa made it hard to think straight.Pushing away the annoying sound of Brady’s warnings, I vi
