As soon as I turned around, I spotted my friend Mrunali standing there. Thank goodness she's here. I'm certain she'll believe me. I hurried towards her and embraced her tightly.
"Look, Mrunali, everyone is accusing me of being Sophia's murderer." However, Mrunali didn't return the hug, instead, anger was written all over her face.
"What's going on? Why are you looking at me like that?" I tightly held her hand, but she jerked it away harshly. I stood there, bewildered, unable to comprehend what was happening.
"You're the cause of all this trouble. Because of you, I've lost my sister." With those words, she slapped me hard across the face.
"You've killed my sister and her unborn child," she accused, her eyes blazing with anger. Why is everything going wrong? Why is everyone treating me like this?
"It's all a lie. Sophia meant everything to me. How could you even think that I would harm Sophia or anyone else?" I pleaded, attempting to reason with her.
But Mrunali remained there, clenching her fists in anger, and I couldn't back down. I needed to prove my innocence.
"Read this letter carefully; it seems like Sophia was forced to write it since she doesn't use such language." I handed her the letter penned by Sophia.
"You're utterly shameless, trying to appear innocent after killing my sister," she began to laugh, tearing the letter apart. In a single night, another friend turned against me, and my life crumbled beneath my feet.
"Don't try to deceive me. Sofia herself told me that you desired Elijah and were obsessed with him, willing to do anything to have him. And now, you've killed my sister to get to Elijah," she exclaimed in disbelief. T
his is all wrong. How could Sophia say something like that about me? I was so shocked that I felt transported to a different world when Mrunali...
"But why is Elijah keeping her here? Elijah should have killed her at the first opportunity," Mrunali seethed with anger.
"Elijah married her for a reason, and I don't think you should come between him and his revenge," James interjected, stepping in front of us.
"What the hell? Elijah married my sister's murderer," Mrunali was in a state of shock. "Yes, and he has his reasons," James clarified.
"I don't care about his reasons. I'm not going to let this woman go," Mrunali said as she began to drag me away. When James intervened once again, Mrunali looked at him with teary eyes.
"If you love me, then don't stop me. It's about my sister." James took a step back, looking at Mrunali's tears.
What the hell? James loves Mrunali? I had spent years with these people, yet I never knew that James had feelings for Mrunali. How much more do I need to learn?
As I tried to comprehend what was happening, Mrunali started pulling me away. "What are you doing?"
"Believe me, I'm innocent. Sophia was my best friend. I could never harm her." I continued shouting, but Mrunali didn't listen, and we were just a few steps away from the mansion's gate when she forcefully pushed me to the ground.
I closed my eyes, fearing the impact of the fall, but a strong arm caught me.
"What's happening here?" Hearing a loud noise, I opened my eyes and realized I was in Elijah's arms.
His body trembled with anger.
"Let me go," I struggled in Elijah's grasp, but he held me firmly by the waist.
"Have you forgotten that your mother is still in my possession?" Upon hearing this, I ceased my struggle, and tears welled up in my eyes. I had always desired Elijah's touch, but not with hatred, only with love. Elijah's hand rested on my waist, and mine on his chest.
We gazed into each other's eyes when Mrunali's voice pierced through the air,
"Wow, it hasn't even been two days since you killed my sister, and you've already taken her place."
"Shut up, Mrunali, or you'll witness the worst side of me," Elijah threatened her, his gaze cold and piercing.
"Sophia will never forgive you. You're an unfaithful husband and partner," Mrunali angrily addressed Elijah before looking at me with pure hatred.
With that, Mrunali retreated to her room, crying, and James followed her. I never thought James would fall for a passionate girl like Mrunali, but love is unpredictable.
"My little seductress, you're only allowed to look at me," Elijah forcefully pulled me towards him, and I stumbled against his chest. His lips formed a twisted smile. I knew the worst was yet to come, but there was no one I could trust.
"So, what have you decided? Will you give yourself to me, or will you let your mother die?" Elijah moved closer to my lips, his breath caressing my face. I never expected that the man I loved would treat me like this.
"I am willing to do whatever you want with my body, but remember, you'll regret it because I am innocent," I tearfully expressed, but all I could see in his eyes was hatred. Elijah roughly pulled me closer and forcefully began to kiss me.
I wanted to resist, but how could I stop the love I had for him? Lost in the moment, I failed to realize when I collided with the wall. I was completely consumed by the intoxicating essence of love, and my ability to think vanished.
We kissed passionately, my way of expressing the immense love I held in my heart for him. But suddenly, Elijah stepped back, leaving me flushed.
"You have an insatiable desire within you. You claim you're doing this for your cause, but your sinful body tells a different story," he pinched my nipples, causing me to arch my back in response.
Elijah was right; I had no control over my body. But how could I explain to him that this wasn't mere lust, but love? I knew the circumstances were wrong, but my heart refused to listen.
"For your lust, you took my wife's life. From now on, this lust will only bring you pain. You may have ended my wife's life, but every night, your soul will be crushed under my feet," Elijah's jaw tightened, sending shivers down my spine.
As I tried to cope with Elijah's threats and the shattering of my innocent heart, he untied the knot, and the bedsheet fell from my body. I stood there, completely naked in front of him.
"Please, Elijah, stop," I pleaded, covering my body with my hands. But he continued to move closer.
My breath hitched. Fear enveloped me as I realized the pain Elijah was about to inflict upon me....................
I desperately tried to shield my naked body from Elijah's predatory gaze, but he came dangerously close, and my breasts brushed against his chest. A surge of unfamiliar sensations coursed through my body, unlike anything I had ever experienced before."Now, tell me, Amber, do you love me?" Elijah's velvety voice weakened my knees, and his gentle caress on my breasts forced my eyes to shut in pleasure. It was all so wrong, yet at the same time, it felt inexplicably right.When Sophia and Elijah got married, I believed I had expelled all traces of love for him from my heart. But standing so close to him now reignited the buried feelings within me."Say it, Amber. Do you love me or not?" Elijah tenderly stroked my cheek, his touch attempting to confuse my heart, and it was working.Elijah's touch drove me wild, and I became aware of what was happening. His fingers danced across my neck and teased my nipples, leaving me unabashedly aroused and unable to think clearly."Elijah, please stop
Elijah stood in the doorway looking very angry. Seeing him, I pushed myself tightly against the bed seat, scared that he might take my china again. Elijah stepped forward, and his eyes were on Danielle. "I asked you something, what were you doing here?" he asked."Alpha, I just came to check up on Amber," Daniel said in a serious tone.Elijah angrily glared at Danielle, and I felt very worried that Elijah might get angry and harm Danielle. Eliza said angrily, "Only ladies can come here, and you should not see me here from now on.""You may leave now; I want to have fun with my mistress."On hearing this, my eyes filled with tears. I still hadn't forgotten what happened to me last night, and Elijah wanted to tarnish my honour again. My heart thumped loudly, and I wanted to run away, but where should I go?Daniel looked at me with pitying eyes, but there was nothing he could do, no one defies Alpha. Daniel left me alone with Elijah.Elijah looked at me and said, "How are you feeling? I
I sat trembling in the corner, filled with fear. Suddenly, the truck opened, and to my astonishment, there stood Daniel before me. I asked in surprise, "What are you doing here, and why did you bring me?"Daniel stepped inside the truck and held my hand, saying, "I couldn't bear to see you in pain, so I brought you here."My senses were overwhelmed, and I panicked, saying, "Do you realize what you've done? Elijah won't spare both of us."Daniel took a deep breath and replied, "We'll handle all of this calmly. Trust me."Shaking my head, I protested, "I won't go anywhere with you. You have no idea what kind of trouble you've brought upon yourself and me. Take me back to the Pack House before Elijah ruins our lives forever."Daniel gazed at me for a long moment, and I thought he understood my point. But then, unexpectedly, he lifted me into his lap. Anger boiled within me, and I fiercely hit his chest, demanding, "Put me down!" I kept shouting, but Daniel paid no heed and carried me out
Elijah approached me, his presence sending shivers down my spine. My hands instinctively came together as I met his gaze, my heart racing. "Elijah, I'm truly sorry. I've made a grave mistake. I won't ever attempt to leave you, but I beg you, spare Daniel's life," I implored.My pleas seemed to stoke the fire of Elijah's anger. He clenched his teeth, his frustration evident. With a swift motion, he gripped my hair and forced me to stand.His voice, laced with a chilling intensity, cut through the air, "Remember this, Amber. There won't be another chance for escape. The punishment I have in mind will etch itself into your memory."His words instilled a deep sense of unease within me. I dared to meet Elijah's gaze and saw a fierce determination to destroy me. Abruptly, he shoved me, causing me to tumble into a corner. The force of his push left my elbow bleeding, a stark reminder of his power.Daniel's half-opened eyes glistened with tears as he looked at me. His voice quivered, yet he m
I had returned to the same hell from which Daniel had not wanted me to escape. Week after week went by, and every night, Elijah indulged his desires with my body.Daniel's sorrowful gaze continued to haunt me; I would never be able to erase him from my memories. The burden of his death rested heavily on my conscience.Lost in my own grief, the door of the room swung open, and Elijah strode in, breaking my thoughts. "Lost in thoughts of that lover of yours?" he quipped with a sly grin.Tears welled up in my eyes as I replied, "Elijah, do as you please with me and just leave me alone."Removing back the bedsheet, I settled onto the bed and spread my legs wider. Elijah's gaze lingered on me before he remarked, "Finally realizing your worth, are you?"He shed his clothes and descended upon me, igniting the familiar torment. He rubbed my body forcefully and riping my dignity again. He played with my boobs and stretched my nipples to make me feel pain but I shuddered at his touches.Playi
Elijah had left me and gone away, leaving me gripped with fear about the uncertain future. Similarly, I was drowning in sorrow, knowing that if this child were born, everything could crumble.Amidst my inner turmoil, two maids entered my room, holding a red dress. One of them told me, "Alpha Elijah has sent you this dress. Get ready soon. Tonight is for you." Those words left me jittery, clueless about what awaited.Taking the beautiful red dress, I watched as the maids left. The gown was adorned with delicate diamonds, the most exquisite outfit I'd ever laid eyes on. Silently, I donned the dress, relishing the opportunity to cover up after so many weeks. There was a small mirror in my room; I glanced into it, a sense of happiness filling my eyes. It had been weeks since I'd seen myself dressed so finely, and it was a welcome change.As I admired myself in the mirror, Elijah walked in after opening the door. Dressed in a dashing black suit, he resembled the Elijah I had fallen in love
I found myself gazing at Mrunali, my mind clouded with uncertainty. How could I possibly bring myself to harm my own child? Mrunali's reassuring touch on my shoulder broke my contemplation, and her words cut through my turmoil, "Amber, you must make a decision now. Time is running out."My hand instinctively found its way to my stomach, a mixture of guilt and helplessness surfacing as I whispered, "I'm sorry, my dear. Your mother is trapped in a desperate situation.Everything I did was an attempt to shield you from this harsh world." Tears flowed freely down my cheeks, impossible to restrain. Becoming a mother is an unparalleled experience, but here I was, contemplating the unimaginable – ending my own child's life.Mrunali sensed my inner struggle and offered her support, assuring me, "You're doing what's right, Amber. I stand by you." Taking a deep breath, she took the bottle and consumed its contents in a single gulp.My heart raced with trepidation, realizing that soon my child w
My heart raced as the words reached my ears, shocking me beyond belief. Could this really be true?Mrunali couldn't contain her laughter, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Well, well, what's got you so flabbergasted? Is your heart reserved for Elijah alone?"My emotions surged, and I couldn't hold back the intensity of my feelings. "You've shattered my life, sacrificed innocence for Elijah's twisted desires."Tears welled up, blurring my vision. But Mrunali's sinister grin persisted. "Why the tears? That child you mourn represents Elijah's animosity and manipulation, after all."My anger surged, pushing past my tears. "Enough! Each word I utter seems to taint you, and I'll expose your deceit to Elijah. He'll know the truth."Unexpectedly, Mrunali burst into a fit of mocking laughter. "Oh, you naive fool. Do you honestly think Elijah would lend an ear to your pleas? You're but a nuisance to him. He adores seeing you squirm, despising every word that escapes your lips."Frustration boil
