Elijah was one sinister man, playing games with mind, slowly trapping the other person in webs of his lies and gentleman facade before he hit the other person straight on their weakness. A mastermind he is, knowing when to lure his prey with sweet words and when to use the power to defeat them.And he didn't wish to use his power on Amara. Fragile prey can be defeated easily through sweet manipulation and if they don't then the world is a witness that how cruel the Suvillian's can get to those who dared to refuse them. "How are you feeling, Amara?" He asked, titling his head. Amara clutched her dress in a fist, the fear of being alone with him making her heart drop to her stomach. Elijah saw the fear in her eyes and the scared expression on her face. "Don't be scared, I will not hurt you." He said but the fear in her eyes didn't waver. "Not until you obey my words and do as I say." His words made her gulp, her heart pounding inside her chest loudly. "I will be straight to the poin

Amara was in the cab, clutching her backpack in her hold tightly as she looked out of the window. It was still dark outside, considering it was three-thirty in the morning. She touched the window through her fingers, she was finally leaving the city that witnessed her destruction. Although there was a sense of relief that she was finally leaving the city, there was also fear deep inside her heart of what the future holds for her.She heaved a breath and turned her gaze from the window towards the cab driver. He was wearing a mask and was strangely muscular, like one of those guys who can take down a few men at a time."Are you alright?" She asked him in a small voice, wondering if he was wearing the mask because he had a cold. The man looked at her through the rear mirror and gave her a stiff nod. "I am." "I have medicine with me for cold. You can have them if you want, it will make you feel better." She said gently and watched as the man stiffened hearing her."Thank you." He whisp

Two days later. "So you are ready to marry that orphan now?" Aiden asked, disgust laced in his tone as he looked at Killian. "What happened to the Killian who never bowed in front of anyone?! How can you let a mere girl rule your life? If she is pregnant, then let her give birth to the baby and throw her out of your life. You don't have to marry that low-life orphan!" He hissed in anger, slamming his hand on the desk roughly. "Your uncle can't force you to marry her. Show him your fucking power, he needs you more than anything else to run the empire because that pathetic son of his is a fucking goody two shoes to handle the mafia business. It's only you who can rule the mafia with an iron fist and your uncle is aware of it. He won't make his son the leader because he knows it will only lead to the downfall of the Suvillians!" Hayden growled, his jaw clenched in anger. When the news of Killian being forced to marry Amara reached them, they couldn't control themselves and drove to Ki

The next few days went peacefully for Amara. She didn't face the Suvillians or receive any news from them. It brought her some relief, although she knew it was only temporary. It was the calmness before the storm and she knew her life would be destroyed once it hit her. A mirthless smile formed on her face. Her life is already destroyed. She was going to marry her rapist, born his child and live her life with him. Can anything get worse than this?That is until she was told that she was about to get married to Killian's cousin. It took her by shock. She wasn't expecting it. She didn't know what to feel, relief that she wasn't getting married to Killian or fear that she was going to be married to an unknown man, someone she had never seen in her life and most importantly, someone who could destroy her life more. From her experience with the Suvillians, she knew they were monsters beneath the human skin. They knew no mercy, no humanity and any person who carried Suvillian blood in the

Crimson blood scattered on the ground and Amara's painful scream rang in the air, its echo resounding in the desolate silence. Her face turned pale and a few drops of blood landed on her face, tainting her skin with crimson.Her tear-filled gaze locked onto Killian, his jaw was clenched tightly as he held his arm. His right arm was relentlessly bleeding where the bullet had found its mark, piercing through his skin brutally. His eyes snapped to her and she flinched, the blood making her take a step back in fear. She watched as a glint passed through his eyes, something very close to fear which was surprising since Killian Suvillian doesn't fear anyone or anything. A yelp left her mouth when he yanked her towards him, causing her to lose her balance and fall on his chest. He held her in a protective embrace and shifted her aside immediately, hiding behind a pillar. At the same time, another bullet fired through the air and she realised this time the target was her. The bullet was aime
