Conrad's POVI looked at her intently and when she nodded her head I was shattered into pieces.I smiled bitterly then looked away suppressing my tears. I don't want to beg again. I am tired of kneeling in front of her just to make her stay. I am tired of doing everything and then receiving rejection in the end."You will keep your promise right? You will keep our child?" I asked then looked her directly in the eyes.Atasha looked at me intently and then nod her head."I will," she said.I let out a deep breath to calm myself."Pack all your things. Don't leave anything. When I came back I hope you are already gone," I said then walked away and stepped out of my unit.I headed towards the parking lot and after stepping inside my unit the tears that I had been suppressing earlier fell like waterfalls.I punched the steering wheel to release my frustration and after a while, I started the engine and pulled my car from the parking lot and started driving without any direction inside my
Atasha's POVLoud knocks outside the door of my mother's room woke me up from deep sleep.I opened my eyes then walked towards the door and upon opening it I saw Sebastian wearing his lab coat."What are you doing here?" I asked completely confused because it is still early for him to be home, I doubt his duty already ended."You have to leave Atasha," my forehead creased when I heard those words from him.I stared at his face completely confused."Why?" I asked."Members of inexorable vis are looking for you and it won't take long before they discover that you are staying at this mansion so you have to leave...away from here," he said."Dad's chopper will land at the helipad in a few minutes. Pack everything that you need then head straight to the rooftop," Sebastian said.I did everything that he told me. When I am done packing all the things that I will be needing I followed him to the rooftop and when I arrived a chopper is already waiting for me."Dad is waiting for you at the se
Atasha's POVI stepped inside the chopper and I don't know what to feel.All I know is I am empty and maybe I got numb from everything that I had been through.I looked at Sebastian when the chopper started moving and in just a few minutes we are sailing in the sky and everything became small.Everything on the ground turns small and I can barely see them.I don't know what kind of life awaits on the island all I know is that I have to fulfil my promise to Conrad...I will keep our child safe and alive.I stared blankly in front with tears falling down my cheeks.I immediately wiped it and tried distracting myself with the view I am seeing but it was no use. The image of Conrad is still vivid in my mind. His touch. The sound of his voice. Everything about him inhabits my mind and it feels like he was tattooed in my system or maybe he is.I slowly caressed my belly and a genuine smile appeared on my lips.I didn't think that the man I hated the most will become part of me. He gave me th
Conrad's POVI squinted my eyes as I watch Atasha in the sniper scope.I clenched my jaw and swallowed hard when she started removing her clothes.The thought that some snipers must be seeing her body as well clouded my thoughts and it made me fucking mad.But I have to keep my cool because if I snapped they might find out my real identity.I focused my eyes on Atasha. She is smiling widely while her body is soaked in the water.She looks so happy and I now understand why she chose to leave, I can't give her this kind of life no matter how hard I try.I let out a deep breath and kept on watching her but after a while, she started drowning.Without any hesitation, I left my spot and run towards her. Fear consumed me when I saw her pale face and it looks like she fell unconscious."Atasha!" I called her name in panic as I carefully lay her on the sand. Atasha slowly opened her eyes. A tear fell on her cheeks then she slowly reached for my face."C-Conrad," she said my name weakly.I s
Conrad's POVWhen I gain consciousness I found out that I was locked in the dark room where my father used to throw me whenever I made a mistake.After a while, I heard footsteps then the light opened and it blinded my vision so I immediately covered my eyes until it adjusted to the brightness.I turned my head on my father who is looking at me intently."Your mother is being cremated as of this moment," he informed me. I closed my fist tightly and stood up to punch him in the face but upon walking towards him I fell on the cold floor and that is when I realized that I was chained."Fuck you!" I shouted as I lay on the cold floor.My father aggressively held my face and then looked me directly in the eyes."If you just follow my order that would not happen to your mother Conrad. You did that to your mother. You are the reason why she died," he uttered firmly trying to plant those words on my head so I would blame myself but I know better. I am done being manipulated by him. He can no
Conrad's POV We continued walking until we reach the end of the dark hallway. I felt relief when I saw our back door. Veronica opened the door and helped me from stepping out.After a while she made me sit in the dark corner outside our mansion."I'll get my car, stay here," Veronica said then left me.After a while, she came back then help me in standing up."Let's go," she said and we continued walking. There is a small gate at the back of our mansion and thankfully there is no guard in that area.We stepped out of the mansion and continued walking until we reached Veronica's car."Drop me off at my condo," I said. Veronica looked at me with a creased forehead as if she disagrees with my request."That is dangerous Conrad. Your father's men might see you," she said but I simply shook my head and gave her an assuring smile."I'll be fine. I don't want my effort to go to waste Veronica I need to get my laptop," I said. Veronica looked at me intently, she let out a deep breath and the
Atasha's POVI asked the pilot to land the chopper on Conrad's condominium building and the pilot did what I told afraid that I might shoot him if he disobeys.When the chopper finally landed on the helipad I get off the chopper and upon doing that the chopper flew away but I ignored it and run towards Conrad's unit.Luckily I know the code so I can step inside.I don't know where to start in finding him but maybe I can find some clues in his condo.Upon stepping inside my forehead creased when I saw things scattered on the floor like someone barged in and searched the whole unit."Where are you, Conrad?" I asked myself as I continue to search the whole place.After a while, I heard the sound that someone is opening the door so I immediately hide in the corner holding my gun tightly.After a while, the door swung open. I am ready to shoot whoever enter the door but my forehead creased when I saw Veronica."What should I do?" she said then sat on the couch with tears falling from her e
Atasha's POVMonths passed and I was able to live in Vienna, Europe in peace.It was a huge change for me but as time passes by I learned to adapt."Atasha let's have breakfast," I heard Emma's voice calling me and after a while, I heard her footsteps."Let's go," she said then helped me in standing up.I have a hard time moving around since I am almost due to give birth, gladly Emma is always around to help me do things.Emma held my hand and guided me until we reached the kitchen."Emma," I stopped when I felt pain surging in my belly.I immediately held my belly and then closed my eyes tightly when the pain became unbearable."Why? What is wrong?" Emma asked in her voice filled with worry."It hurts," I said. I felt my knees weaken so I sat on the floor and after a while I felt a hot liquid dripping on my thighs."Your water broke," she said in panic and after that she started running and when she came back she is with Arthur, our driver."Atasha is about to give birth!" Emma utter
