Chapter 66
"Damon! Damon!" Anastasia called out, running after Damon who was busy ignoring her. He had just returned from a business trip with Logan and was heading upstairs when Anastasia started running after him.
"Damon!!" She yelled, she was tired of running and stood at a place, panting heavily.
"What is it Anastasia?" Damon fired.
"Why won't you leave me alone?" He asked.
"Why do you suddenly hate me so much Damon? You seem to be repulsed by my mere presence!" She said, still panting.
"It's not that" Damon sighed. He couldn't help it, all he could think about these days was Camilla.
"It's Camilla right? The b*tch I saw at the hospital in New Jersey!" Anastasia was very annoyed.
"I told you not to call her names!" Damon defended, Anastasia chuckled.
"You're such a joker if you think I'm going to let anything happen between you two. Not after I've dedicated my life to loving and pleasing you!" Anastasia fumed. All she wanted to do was strangle Camilla, for taking Damon's attention away from her.
"Just let me be Anastasia" Damon said and rushed upstairs.
Anastasia was very cross, she has been embarrassed so many times because of Camilla and now, she's losing Damon for good. She allowed her anger to get the better of her, and decided to do something drastic.
📞 "Hello, Ajay"
📞 "Yes Ana!"
📞 "Find Camilla, find her now and tell me where she is"
📞 "Yes ma'am. I'll get back to you in a few minutes"
Anastasia grinned and left to her room. Ajay has been her puppet for a long time, he would do anything to please her because of how much he loved her. Anastasia had no atom of feelings for him but uses him to get her dirty jobs done.
🤍🤍🤍
Adena, found herself thinking about Tyson. She would smile and blush whenever she remembered the way he stared at her. She played with her hair and fantasized about the handsome prisoner.
"Master needs you!" She startled at Buster's voice. She didn't even realize when he entered when she was busy daydreaming.
"Okay" she nodded and left the room.
Adena was annoyed, Logan always had a way of destroying her happiness. He wouldn't even let her fantasize in peace!!
"You sent for me, master" she gave a little bow.
"Yes, I'm tired from my long trip and I need to cool off" Logan answered, dropping his glass of whiskey on the side table. He was wearing his black robe, which had his initials boldly scribbled at the back. "LS"
Adena sighed and started to undress. She was beginning to get used to her life as a slave. She wondered when all this would be over and she can finally get her freedom.
"Stop" Logan's commanding voice came and Adena paused. Her hand was on her blouse, about to pull it off.
"Don't do that, yet" he grinned. She was confused because he had never behaved like this.
"I don't understand master" she batted her lashes at him.
"My head is aching badly. Liliana is busy, I want you to give me a massage" Adena was shocked by his statement.
He wanted her to give him a massage? That's very unusual and suspicious. Was he trying to test her? She was confused.
"Don't just stand there, the oils are on the desk" he pointed to his desk and Adena looked over to see the scented oils.
"Get to work" he breathed out and sat by the edge of his bed. He ran his fingers through his hair severally, getting his hair really messy and allowing the strands to drop over his eyes. It was seductive, and cute.
Adena reluctantly carried the oil and went to stand behind him. She dipped her finger in the oil and spread it around the other fingers. Fearfully, she placed her hand on Logan's head and sighed, it was almost a moan.
Logan's lips stretched into a smile when Adena's fingers rubbed his head gently. He seemed to be enjoying it, it was calming and soothing. Just what he needed to get rid of the stress and avoid another possible nightmare that night.
After several minutes, Adena realized that Logan had already fallen asleep while sitting. She stopped the massage and gently dropped him on his bed. She placed the oil back where she found them and stared at Logan.
"He looks so harmless in his sleep. It's difficult to tell that he's such a monster" she sighed. She found herself admiring his calmness as he slept.
The harsh wind blew across the room, making the windows rattle and giving Adena goosebumps. She quickly covered the windows and threw a blanket over Logan's body before walking out.
She met Delaney right by the door. They were engaged in a battle stare for a few seconds.
"If you're thinking of going in there, don't. Master is asleep and he wouldn't like to be disturbed, you know that" Adena grinned and walked away.
Delaney was furious. She saw Adena giving Logan a head massage earlier, that was something Logan would never let her do! It seemed like Logan has started warming up to Adena.
"No Logan, you won't abandon me" she scoffed and walked back to her room.
🤍🤍🤍
Adena went to the kitchen to wash the excess oil off her hands. She met Antoinette dishing some food into a plate.
"You're still awake" Antoinette asked as soon as she saw Adena.
"Yes. Um.. I was with Logan" she answered.
"I don't know why master won't let you rest" Antoinette sighed. She finished dishing the food and gave to Adena to hold while she locks up the windows in the kitchen.
"You're off to bed" Adena stated.
"Yes, I just want to take this food to the prisoner first"
Adena was elated when she heard that.
"Can I come too?" She asked, excitement was written all over her.
"Adena" Antoinette giggled, taking the tray from her.
"I knew it. Adena you like the prisoner"
"No I don't" Adena tried to hide the fact that she was blushing.
"Oh please" Antoinette rolled her eyes as they walked out of the kitchen together.
"It's written all over you. But be careful not to get too attached. First of all, you belong to master, secondly, master is going to kill the prisoner sooner or later" Antoinette explained and Adena sighed sadly, realizing that she was saying the truth.
"Yeah.."
They entered the torture house and met Tyson sleeping already. They woke him and gave him his food.
Tyson wouldn't take his eyes off Adena as he ate. She also couldn't stop herself from being attracted to him. There was a chemistry between them and they could both feel it.
🤍🤍🤍
Ever since Logan took Tyson as his prisoner, Camilla has had a hard time coping. Most of Tyson's men has been killed while trying to rescue him. She had to run the company on her own, fearing for her life everyday.
Camilla was done with work that day and went round, making sure everything was in order before she locked up the place. She was the only one left in the vicinity, she hurried towards her car in the parking lot when her path was blocked by two huge men. She gasped on seeing them.
"Who.. who are you?" She shivered.
"What do you want?" She asked again.
"Hello princess" Anastasia came out from behind one of the men, she wore a mask, that only covered her eyes and nose.
She walked majestically over to Camilla, her stilettos kissing the floor as she walked.
"What do you want?" Camilla asked, glancing at the huge men behind Anastasia.
"To teach you not to mess with things that belong to me. Today, I'm going to kill you" Anastasia chuckled, bringing out a dagger. Camilla gasped loudly, staggering backwards. She tried to run but the huge men were quick to hold her in one position.
"Help!! Help me!!" Camilla began to yell, struggling to free herself.
"Shout all you want! It's night already, and you know, we're alone" Anastasia smirked.
"Who are you? Please leave me alone. I'll call the police!" Camilla screamed, but Anastasia slapped her hard across the face.
"Shut up sl*t!"
"I'm going to get rid of you today, and nobody will ever know. In your next life, you won't go after things that don't belong to you" Anastasia groaned and raised to dagger to stab Camilla.
"No!!!!" She screamed at the top of her voice.
"Freeze! Drop your weapon!!" The loud voice of the police inspector rang out in the dark night.
"F*ck!" Anastasia cursed.
"Let's get out of here" she said to her men and they dropped Camilla harshly before running off into the night. The police went after them immediately but didn't catch up. Camilla was in shock about the whole thing, she tried very hard to figure out what she stole from the masked woman but nothing came to her mind. She was paranoid.
Damon heard about the attack and didn't hesitate to pay Camilla a visit.
Camilla opened her door and was surprised to see Damon standing there with a bunch of flowers in his hands. She couldn't help but admire him, he was very handsome, and had managed to subdue her somehow.
"Good morning Camilla" he greeted.
"Hi Damon"
"May I come in?" He requested. Camilla promised herself that she would have nothing to do with Damon since Logan kidnapped her brother but she didn't understand why her heart won't cooperate with her.
"Sure" she made way for him and he entered. She shut the door and led him to the living room.
"Here, I got this for you" Damon said, handing her the flowers, she took them and took in the scent.
"They're wonderful, thank you" she answered and went to put them in a vase in the kitchen.
"I hope you're okay?" Damon asked, sighing and passing his fingers through his hair.
"I heard what happened, last night. I hope you're not hurt" he added as Camilla walked out from the kitchen.
"I'm fine. Luckily the police arrived before she was able to do anything to me" Camilla replied, taking a seat and motioning to Damon to sit down as well.
"You didn't get to see who it was? What are the police doing about it?" Damon questioned, he was really worried and Camilla could see it.
"They.. they're trying their best to find who it was. I'm fine" Camilla replied, tucking her lose hair behind her ear. She was very happy to have Damon with her, but she was still angry about her brother.
"I don't think you'll be safe here. Whoever attacked you will probably come back again. I think.. I think you should come stay with me for now" Damon suggested. He could not stand the thought of Camilla being in danger or anything bad happening to her.
"What?" Camilla asked, taken by surprise.
"I can't do that"
"Why?"
"Many reasons Damon!!" She got to her feet instantly and sighed.
"You.. your boss kidnapped my only brother. What will people think if I decide to live with my enemies?" She asked, Damon stood up and walked up to her.
"Are you more concerned about what people will say, or your own life?" He asked and she sighed deeply.
"Damon, I.. I don't know what to say okay? Just leave" she said, turning to face him. He stared into her eyes, and she felt weak.
"I think it's best for you" he muttered. He moved closer to her and she tried to move backwards but her legs wouldn't let her. Camilla felt her heart begin to bear faster as Damon came even closer to her.
He brought up his hand to his cheek and caressed it lovingly, she found herself melting on his touch.
"I care about you Camilla, I can't bear to see anything happen to you. Come and stay with me and I promise to find whoever it was that attacked you" Damon explained, in a whisper. Tears formed in Camilla's eyes but she refused to let them down.
"I love you Camilla" Damon finally confessed. Camilla couldn't hold back the tears anymore. They flowed freely down her cheeks. The one thing she has always wanted to hear from him.
"You do?" She asked, her lips quivered.
"I do" he answered. She jumped on him and hugged him like her life depended on it. She wasn't able to control her emotions anymore.
"I love you too" she mumbled in tears, holding onto him as tightly as she could.
🤍🤍🤍
Adena found herself always lost in thoughts about Tyson. There was something about him that made her heart skip a beat everytime she sees him. Luckily for her, Logan was out for the day, so she's free for the time being.
"Hi ma" Adena greeted as she entered the kitchen smiling. She was always free to walk about the mansion whenever Logan was away because Liliana gave her the freedom.
"Hi dear, how are you doing?" Liliana asked, resting her back on the counter. She had finished cooking lunch and was cleaning up.
"I'm fine. Where's Antoinette?"
"She went to the market, we ran out of oil and I forgot to tell Logan" Liliana answered.
"Oh, I see"
"Yes, I want to take food to the prisoner" Liliana said and Adena's face lit up as soon as she heard that. She has been hoping to see Tyson again and here is an opportunity.
"Let me take it ma.. please!" She sounded excited and Liliana grinned at her.
"Antoinette told me about your little crush on the prisoner" Liliana teased, Adena gasped.
"It's not a crush!" She blushed and folded her arms. Liliana giggled and handed her the tray of food.
"Just don't fall in love with him. Logan doesn't let his prisoners leave alive" Liliana said bluntly and Adena sighed. She began to seethe again. Her hatred for Logan came up again, why is he so heartless?!
"Yes ma" she took the tray and left for the torture house. She was happy when she met him in a better condition than yesterday. He was still tied up but his bruises were healing well.
"Good afternoon sir" she greeted.
"I came with your food"
"Thank you, Adena" Tyson answered, he was equally happy to see her. Somehow, thinking about her eased his pain and made his torture hurt less.
"Let me just untie you" Adena said, putting down the tray and moving closer to him. She bent over and untied only his hands as usual. Her heart started to beat very fast when she made eye contact with him. They stared into each other's eyes for a couple of seconds, their faces almost touching.
"You have very beautiful eyes.." Tyson whispered and Adena shuddered.
"Th.. thanks" she answered.
"I think I like you" he confessed, grinning.
"Do you know who my master is? Do you know what he'll do to you if he finds out you're messing with his property?" Adena cleverly asked, even though she liked him as well.
"Logan?" Tyson scoffed.
