Sinful Duty Chapter 24
I feel all the oxygen sucked out of me. I fail to utter a reply. There's no way I can choose. I glance back at Roman then to Hunter once again. "I'll help you make a decision. There's a a toxic gas that will be pouring into the room your husband's in and your little friend has a bomb implanted on his back. In eight minutes your husband will be choking on his own blood or you'll blow up together with your friend. Make the choice and I'll stop the clock for either."I look at the monitor displaying Roman. I see a faint green gas pouring into the room. He covers his mouth and bone with his elbow despite his efforts I can see tremors running through his body. My path of vengeance or peace. If I leave Roman to die I can walk away from here with Hunter and go back to living my normal life. I run my fingers through my hair. Did I ever have a normal life? I was always living in fear om the edge. I never lived my life to the fullest. That wasn't living. There was always a dark longing inside
Sinful Duty Chapter 25: Roman's Pov
Roman's PovThe rage inside me keeps on expanding as seconds fucking tick by. That fucking bastard check mated us. I swerve my car back onto the correct lane, barely missing a collision with another car. Alexander was going to pay. I'm more upset by the fact that he toyed with Lana. He dared to fuck around with my wife. He was going to pay. When I catch him I'm going to torture him slowly and feed his remains to vultures.I dial Lana for the hundredth time. Still, I receive no reply. I grip my steering wheel tighter. I was supposed to protect her but I failed. I dial Orekhov, he better not be having a damn picnic in the park after failing to do his job. I'll deal with him later. We could have lost so much today and worst of all we were at the mercy of Alexander Morelli. To think I'd thought he'd feel a little concern for his daughter who was I kidding. Monsters like that don't feel anything. Then again who am I to shun him for being a monster when I'm no saint either. That's right, I'
Sinful Duty Chapter 26: Roman's Pov
Roman's Pov.Watching Lana in this state is both thrilling and terrifying. The way she effortlessly gains control and instils fear in people with just her presence. I underestimated her, my biggest mistake ever. The prey has become the predator. No one would ever suspect that a doll face like her has nasty claws that could rip your head off. We're in the mayor's office waiting for that slimy bastard to get back from his rally. Hopefully he doesn't have a heart attack as soon as he walks in and sees both of us rummaging through his liquor cabinet. My entire focus is on Lana. I can't help it, my focus always gravitates to her. Despite her wearing the blank mask up. I can see right through her. I see the fatigue in her. The way she keeps rubbing her neck because her back is stiff and sore. The brief moments when her mask slips showing her pain when she thinks I'm not looking. The way she's avoiding looking at her body because she's disgusted by the sight of the blood that stains her clo
Sinful Duty Chapter 27: Roman's Pov
Roman We're at one of our clubs hosting a meeting in my office. Lana's fatigue is getting worse which means I need to hurry things up. I think she's both mentally and physically tired. Stravos and Ace brought their women with them, Leona and Marcella. I'm hoping they can convince Lana to throw in the towel and call it a day. She's gotten enough blood on her hands. That's why I'm here to handle all the messy part of our bargain. She's sprawled out on my sofa with my jacket wrapped around her. Although she's laying down I have no doubt that she's listening to every inch of the conversation. "Ace, take care of these two." I hand him the file. He scans it and a grin forms on his face. Ace is a very twisted individual and he's also good at what he does. We've known each other for years now and I trust him with my life. He's also the best assassin there is. Despite his playful attitude and flirtatious personality he's as deadly as they come. In short don't fuck with him. He's the shoot f
Sinful Duty Chapter 28 : Roman's Pov
Roman's PovI feel his bones crack under my fist. Blood shoots out of his mouth landing a few inches from my shoe. Irritated, I take a step back. My eyes dart to Lana who's standing in the far corner with her hands hugging her body. Her focus is on Dante's puddle of blood. I need to wrap things up quickly. Dante lifts up his head and grins at Lana. This earns him another punch from me. His head jerks back and more blood flies all over the place. Soft footsteps approach me and I don't need to turn to know it's her. Dante and her lock eyes, a shiver runs down her spine. Although she's putting on a brave face I can tell instantly that she's afraid of Dante. My anger starts to ignite once again. I gently place my arms on her shoulder, her body tenses at first then it eventually relaxes. Fuck, what did this asshole do to her that's made her this scared. I don't like that she's here to witness this nasty activity. Her eyes meet mine. "You don't have to be here, you can wait outside. I'll
Sinful Duty Chapter 29
You know that feeling after you've gotten off a Rollercoaster? When the thrill wears off and you're left with your head fucking spinning and have this void in your chest. You yearn for something else to give you that adrenaline and entertainment. Well that's sort of how I'm feeling now except scratch out the thrill and entertainment. I was on a Rollercoaster of rage and for the whole day I was only going up now I'm back to fucking earth and I hate it. I haven't yet processed the events of the day. I can't process the events of the day. Everything just happened so fast, way too fast. But I know that the minute I am alone and sitting in a dark corner it'll hit me. That's why I've been clinging to Roman like a thorn. He distracts me, actually when I'm in his presence all those loud dark thoughts are silenced. It's as if they're afraid of him. I feel safe and less alone. I feel alive. It's been a while since I've felt like this. Things have shifted between the two of us, I don't know how
Sinful Duty Chapter 30
I don't know how many distractions are coming to keep me from my breakdown but they're running out. As the car engine dies down I feel everything rushing back. The temporal rush I had has vanished into thin air as if it never existed. My chest hurts, it feels as though a dagger has been lodged into it and when I pull out that dagger it'll bleed out. Where did my life all go wrong? Was it even right to begin with? I sigh. Everytime I think I'm stable and at a happy point in my life something drags me back down to that dark pit. Would things have been different if my sister was still alive? If my father was loving ? If my mother wasn't driven to the brink of insanity by my father? My door is yanked open. Roman's standing beside me. "Ouuuu you're even opening doors for me now, are you sure you're not head over heels for me Roman."He looks at me intently. I think I see concern flashing in his eyes. He's not buying the joke. If he keeps looking at me, I'll lose it. I need to hurry and
Sinful Duty Chapter 31
I step out of the elevator and am immediately bathed in darkness. I look around and find no sight of Roman. Where did he disappear to? I turn on the lights in the living room and kitchen feeling relieved that I'm not in darkness. I stand awkwardly in the kitchen not sure what to do with myself. I don't want to go into my empty dark room alone. I don't want to be alone and I don't want to bother him more than I already have. One minute he's delighted to be in my presence the next he's not. I don't think I can deal with that at the moment. I'll take care of myself. Like I always have. I retrieve a glass from the cabinet and pour myself a cup of water. It tastes sour as it goes down my throat. I suppress the urge to spit it out. I hold the glass gingerly and stare at it intently. I'm here having a cold fucking glass of water when Hunter's remains are scattered in a warehouse. It's all because of me. It's my fault. If he had never met me he'd still be alive. What makes me more disgusted
