Chapter 195 - So, We Begin

"Are you done?""Seriously?" A light scoff. "That was the softest I have ever spoken."She shrugged. Honestly, it almost had her.Almost. "I don't know. It sounded a little rough around the edges. Wasn't as hypnotizing as you thought it would be."A light chuckle echoed around her, one that sounded a little distant from her now. She relaxed her hold on her dagger, relieved that she might not have to use it eventually, besides the fact that she would be fighting against the invisible, she didn't even know how to wield the weapon. So, it was good this way. "A little bit of practice and I'll have you wrapped around my fingers.""In your dreams.""Your dreams, of course. Where else?"She gritted her teeth, walking away.His cocky attitude was starting to get on her nerves and if she wasn't in a dire situation right now, she would have plenty to say to that. "I don't have time for this foolery."He chuckled. "You've become difficult but when were you never?"Her feet dipped into the c

Chapter 196 - Double You

The shift had been fast. One moment they were at the beach and the next they were in Eli's little study. She could still remember how he had put her on a table and sealed his lips against hers in the previous room before he had brought her here on that little tour. He had told her he loved her and he had said she didn't understand. She hadn't thought too much about it then but now, she was suspicious. He had told her he loved her many times before that, was he lying before?Belladonna was quick to start her search for the book and the Bride Thief had said he wanted to check out the place. "Everything has changed. Not like I left it."He had said, before leaving. Maybe. It wasn't like she could see him. How exactly had he left the Castle though?Burnt to the ground with Eli's entire family in it. What about the servants, and others that had lost their lives in that fire?She just couldn't trust this man.If there was another way to find out the truth, she would have used that i

Chapter 197 - Who Are You?

There was no place to hide. She watched in horror as the door swung open and Eli bolted in, heading straight for her. "Donna, I---" he paused instantly, his gaze moving from her sleeping figure on the chair and the one kneeling by her side. He didn't need to take his mask off, but she knew that look that flashed in his brown eyes. He had never looked at her like that before. "E---" she started to say, rambling for words to explain the situation, but he drew his sword and the blade felt like a threatening presence at the base of her neck. "Step away from her."What?!Did he not recognize her?"Step away this instant or I shall slit your throat!"The threat in his voice was as clear as day. He would do it.Just a little tilt forward and her head would be gone.It would be clean too. Severed.He stared at her like she was a complete stranger, like he had never seen in his entire life, like she was putting his entire being at risk and he would do anything to save it from her.Like sh

Chapter 198 - Quickly Complicated

After a couple of checks, the Physician said something to Eli but with the distance between them, she couldn't hear it, although the fury in his eyes when he turned to her was enough explanation. The Physician certainly did not have good news and Eli believed she was responsible for whatever that was.Well, he was incorrectly correct. He approached her, every step promising doom. At that moment, she feared him. It was a foreign feeling, a way she had not felt even during the Choosing Ritual. This fear was just different. It was more cripply.A guard kicked the back of her knees and she fell to the ground, on her face, the impact painful.They pulled her to her knees immediately, her hands helped apart, while one yanked her hair backwards, so her gaze was fixed upward.Her teeth gnashed against one another in pain."You are one of them. The Eye." Eli said, his voice cold and hard. The Eye?That was the group of people trying to kill her, at least that was what she got from the man

Chapter 199 - A Little Obstacle

The chains went slack around her ankle, hitting the floor with a rattle. "Where have you been?" Her voice was cold and he flashed her a smile. It was an uncanny sight. "I got trapped in a baby."Well, that was the lamest excuse she had ever heard. How could he have gotten trapped in a baby?His hands moved around her other ankle, taking off the chains. She could see how his muscles twitched beneath his cloth again, a low groan made it out of the guard's lips, and in a flash, his eyes were set on her again. Flashing between black and the reptilian one that immediately took charge. "Our energies do not match. I can't last in this body."The chains around her other ankle fell and he leaned in to undo the one around her neck. She tensed up, the distance between them little as he worked on the collar. Staring ahead of her and with her heart racing with fear of the ticking clock loud in her mind, it was getting difficult to breathe, knowing that anytime soon, Eli would burst into t

Chapter 200 - (Un)Love

It was way too easy to slip into the piano room, Eli didn't lock the door. The wonderful melody made it to her ears, just as the naked painting of her on Eli's desk, with her hand in her panties, her thighs inched apart and Eli behind her, entertained her sight. She gulped, looking away.She had totally forgotten that was there.The music had stopped and Eli was on his feet now. He looked a little relaxed in his loose grey shirt, and loose grey pair of trousers. He smelt good too. That earthen smell. He must have just had his bath.It was calming."Do you need anything?" His eyes were observant as they roamed over her body.They hadn't said anything to each other for three days, after that night, they hadn't exchanged a word with depth.A word that wasn't just out of common politeness. She shook her head, coming closer to him. She could see how his shoulders tensed up the closer she got, his face was as calm as usual and his eyes filled with that ever-affectionate gaze. "I was th

Chapter 201 - The Black Book

Eli had gone to sleep with a heavy heart, and just as he had been doing for the past three nights, he didn't share the bed with his Donna. He had woken up with a heavy heart too, had his meetings with the same state of mind, so one could imagine how much joy it had brought him when Belladonna told him that she still wanted to see her surprise that evening. The same surprise that he had planned for her, before the coffin incident drove a wedge in-between them.Quickly, he had taken her to the fountain. The one he took her to a couple of months ago. That was her first surprise.For Belladonna, she had been disappointed in herself for not making any headways in her plan last night.How could she ever find out the truth on time, if she kept on allowing her emotions to get in the way?It was a tough life out here and she had to be stronger than that. Pushing her overwhelming feelings aside, she had picked the first way out of the mess she had found herself in. Asking him for her surpris

Chapter 202 - I Really Want To Touch You

She slammed the book shut and pushed it away, turning to Eli who had already made his way into the room with the use of a key. Wasn't he supposed to be in his study? Working with all those scrolls he had piled up for him? They were so much that he had invited her to help.Ah, by Ignas, there was no running from this man."It's a design. I'll do it on my own." Her voice trailed into a whisper when he was barely a step away from her. Her heart drummed wildly in her chest because the book was still within reach. "You should get whatever you need from here. I will fix a study for you on my floor." His gaze fell on the book she had her hand pressed on. "Let us read it together.""No!"He blinked, trying to figure out what that meant exactly. Another distance in their relationship or just light banter?With a swift movement, he carried her, and made her sit on the dressing table, with her thighs inched apart to accommodate his intrusion.She let out a light gasp, puzzled by his choice of

Chapter 203 - A Hint On The Enemy

Something flashed in his eyes, and he moved closer, his hands cupping her face, his thumb trailing the base of her bottom lip. After a moment of deep thought, his lips met hers in a hungry kiss, one she willingly submitted herself to.As he took her lips, her hands wandered down to his pants, grabbing his hardened length through the fabric and giving it a little squeeze. He moaned into their kiss, a groan resonating from his chest, and she took that as an encouragement to do it again. He pulled away this time, burying his face into the crook of her neck, pressing his next moan into her skin, the sound muffled to her ears. Her toes curled at the pleasure that brought her and once again she hated the fact that it had to be tonight."When does it end?"She didn't need to think too much. She knew what he was talking about."Tonight or tomorrow morning."He drew in a long breath and pulled away from her completely this time. She blinked in confusion.What was he doing?"You can come and

Chapter 204 - Goodbyes and Forced Jokes

Clio was Colin's daughter and it wasn't just the Black Book that had confirmed that. Collin had done it too, unintentionally of course. He had confirmed it when he came to her to return all the coins her business had saved with him. His desperate denial when she had asked him about it was obvious, he didn't look as put together as he used to, but he kept calm and collected as much as he could.Why had he lied about their daughter? They told her two different versions of their daughter's story and for each, she had been deeply emotionally attached and affected. It just didn't make sense for them to have lied. Did they think she would be jealous?It made no sense!Belladonna tried to find out more about Clio but Collin insisted that she died on a ship during the storm. When she asked about the letter she had sent to him, he claimed his daughter wasn't Clio and that letter had contained gibberish. It was a lie. She could tell and that was all she needed, so she didn't stop him when h
