Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 93
“Can you generate 9 inches too?” Adeline muttered, and Dominic’s mouth fell open.
“What!”
Fatima covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing out.
“Young lady, please” Baron spoke again, and before Adeline could reply, Trixie carefully snatched the pin from her.
“I’ll talk to her. Please leave her to me for some minutes” she said.
“Better talk some senses to her head, else…” Dominic glared.
“Else what? You’ll start beating me like your wife? Look I’m not Tessa, I’m Adeline. I only need good food and I promise to ruin your face for you” Adeline glared back.
“This little bî+ch…”
Dominic was already going closer to her again when Baron intervened.
“Get out of this room, Dominic” he ordered.
“You have twenty minutes to have whatever talk you want with her.” He told Trixie and left the room.
“Take your time” Baron smiled lightly at them before leaving too.
“I promise you’ll like it here. This empire is the most peaceful in America” Fatima smiled.
She winked at Trixie and left too.
Adeline held her head immediately, walking around the annoyingly large room.
“No…no I’m not doing this. We’re gonna have to escape this shitty contract” she said.
“Do you know the number of guards surrounding this west wing alone? Do you know the number of guards surrounding the penthouse on its own? Do you know the number of guards surrounding the estate as a whole?” Trixie replied.
Adeline immediately walked to the window, pulling the curtains aside to stare out.
True to Trixie’s words, the guards are so hefty and too many. They’re standing side by side, no space between them at all so the security is damn tight everywhere.
“Shit” she muttered.
“You can’t maneuver through them cos you’d be caught before you get out of this penthouse. If you’re caught running away, Dominic might order them to shoot you on the legs to render you powerless, Fatima said he was so obsessed with Tessa that he didn’t allow her go out of the bedroom… He tied her up and beat her up anytime she complained” Trixie explained.
“Fatima?” Adeline faced her.
“The girl here earlier… She’s his junior sister. She’s nice” Trixie replied.
“Then we can ask her for help. She can help us escape” Adeline said.
“You’re not getting it. The fact that she’s nice doesn’t mean she’d go against her brother, and the father Baron is a soft person too. Dominic is literally in charge of everything here” Trixie explained again, and Adeline bit her lip hard that she nearly drew blood.
She made to start walking restlessly around the room again, but her legs collided, and she almost fell.
Trixie quickly held her and brought her to sit in bed.
“You need the rest. You look so weak” she said, and Adeline looked up slowly.
“Trixie I can’t do this. We can’t be trapped here forever. I don’t want to live as his wife I can’t even look him in the face without getting disgusted… Madden planted himself too deep into my bloodstream and…
“Shhh…I know how you feel” Trixie interrupted, and she sniffled, fighting back the tears that were threatening to fall from her blue eyes.
“But you only have to play along for a while” Trixie continued.
“How?” Adeline blinked.
“Be his wife and pretend that everything is ok. Make him believe you’re ready to serve him and earn his trust” Trixie said.
“What if he asks for s+x? I can’t give any other man my body… I can’t…
“Listen to me, Adeline… You’re smart. Hatch ways to turn him down without making him notice your disinterest… You only have to be careful” Trixie said, and Dominic barged in again.
“Time up” He announced with that arrogant pitch in his voice again.
Adeline gathered herself and stood.
“Do well” Trixie told her, and she nodded before following Dominic out of the room.
Fatima came in.
“I guess our outing is ruined… Your mood is down” she said.
“I don’t know what my sister will experience in the hands of your brother” Trixie replied.
“Don’t worry. With what I’ve seen so far, your sister is his match. I bet I should be ready to see Dominic getting beaten by a woman” Fatima said, and Trixie grinned.
“Let’s cancel the outing, but at least we can visit the pool that you love. We have ice cream and party till the feast tomorrow” Fatima pulled her out of the room.
“Feast?” Trixie said as they walked down the guarded hall.
“Yeah. There’ll be a feast in this estate for every member of the empire, and we’re attending it together. Also, dad is receiving a huge visitor from Russia” Fatima announced.
“Russia?” Trixie gasped.
“Don’t worry, you’ll be alerted by the time he arrives. You can’t be recognized yunno? So you’ll use mask” Fatima said, and Trixie smiled as they entered the elevator.

DOMINIC’S PERSONAL SUITE*
Dominic led Adeline into the building, and she didn’t even take her time to look around.
What’s the use of looking around anyways? Once she gains his trust, she’d make a plan to use him for escape, so there’s no need keeping the house jargons in her head.
But one sure thing is that the suite is actually more luxurious than the penthouse. Dominic rules this place for real.
Adeline continued following him till he entered the large bedroom, and he shut the door behind her casually.
He grabbed her by the arms and brought her to the wall, trapping her there with her arms pressed above her head.
That’s cliche.
She turned her face away, but he turned it back to himself, holding her wrists with just one palm.
“I missed you” he muttered throatily.
Adeline hardened her bones, trying her best so she won’t say a thing.
“You dunno how hard it was for me when you were in that morgue. I couldn’t touch nor look at other women. I couldn’t eat properly, and I had to kill your parents when they were bothering me too much about you” he whispered, and her bones hardened again.
He killed Tessa’s parents after killing their daughter too? Just how animalistic can he be?
Who does he think he is? She badly wants to bite him in the eyes right now, but she calmed her bones, remembering
Trixie’s words.
Gain his trust.
“You… love me that much?” She managed to speak, and she saw him smile… An irritating smile.
“So darn much… You’re my life, Tessa” he said, moving his face to her neck to kiss and nibble deeply on her skin.
If it were Madden, she’d have been soaked underneath with that one move, but nothing is happening…
It just explains how much she can’t stand this prick, so she carefully pushed his head away from herself.
“What? You liked neck kisses” he muttered, anger crossing his eyes.
It’s obvious he has severe anger issue, but his anger issue will run and hide when it meets Madden’s own.
“I like neck kisses, but I should probably eat first” she said.
“I’ll order you some fried rice,” he winked, and she badly wants to claw out his eyes immediately.
“Just a minute” he said, and she nodded as he left the room.
Adeline sighed, leaving the wall and strolling around.
“If I can escape this trap with Trixie, then I promise to attend thanksgiving” she muttered, sitting in bed afterwards.
Her eyes met with the mirror, and she couldn’t blink as she stared at her new face.
She’s still beautiful, no doubt.
But the fact that Madden won’t recognize her if they luckily meet in the future is traumatizing.
Does that mean it’s over for them?
It better not be.
It better not.

RUSSIA, BAYOU*
“Vernon will be flying out to Colorado tomorrow” Igor announced as he entered the mini manor.
“Why Colorado?” Maya stood swiftly.
“His choice, not mine” Igor replied as Madden came in after him, looking stiff.
“Madden…” Maya walked to him.
“I said quit calling him that” Igor replied.
“It’s weird to call him Vernon when we’re in the same house. I can just call him Vernon outside” Maya replied, finally getting to Madden.
“I’ll go with you” she said.
“No. I’m leaving alone” Madden replied curtly.
“But you just woke from a year coma, it’d be unadvisable to move alone” Sin retorted.
“I’m still leaving alone, so pack me some stuffs, Loud” Madden replied dryly and started going inside.
“Yes, Master” Loud replied.
“I think I deserve a thanks for working on your face. That’s a more handsome face right there” Igor talked, and Madden looked back.
“I never asked for it” he coldly said, and Igor scoffed.
“You’re still the arrogant @sshole”
“Don’t worry… I might not be coming back when I leave tomorrow, so there’ll be no @sshole to worry about… Bastard” Madden replied coldly again and finally went in.
“You have no right to call me a bastard, jerk!!” Igor started rushing after him, but Andrei pulled him back.
“Stop it” he muttered.
“You heard him” Igor glared.
“He has always been like this so why are you acting like it’s new?” Andrei replied, and Igor huffed.
“He’s acting like it’s new because now he’s his half-brother” Sin said, and everyone laughed including Maya.
“I’m so worried about him…what if he collapses anywhere in the streets of Colorado?” Jinx muttered.
“Don’t worry, he can handle himself” Malik replied.
“And I was already hoping to celebrate Christmas with him tomorrow” Maya muttered.
“He doesn’t seem like he’s in the mood for celebration” Ksenia replied.
Her eyes met with Igor’s, and Igor immediately went in without turning back.
“Punk” she muttered.
“He’s only acting up. Don’t mind him he’d come around” Maya patted her.
The celebrations continued till deep in the night when everyone slept off in the wide living room, but Loud left the sleepy bodies and came out to the balcony.
He sat with his bottle of vodka, drinking in remembrance of Nikolai and Adeline.
He was about to take the tenth sip from the bottle when Jinx came out and snatched it from him.
He looked up, and a small smile formed on his lips when he saw Jinx.
She drank everything in the bottle before sitting beside him. He didn’t bother to shift.
“I was told to call the pilot, tell him to prepare the private jet” she said.
“What’s the problem?” Loud asked.
“I’m reluctant… Poe loved Master too much so if anything happens to him again, she’d probably haunt me in me dreams” she replied, and Loud chuckled.
“Death can take care of himself no matter the situation, trust him ” he said.
“Sure, and why are you sitting here drinking alone? Do you still miss your first love, Adeline?” She faced him.
“Nah…I got over Adeline even before her death.” He replied.
“Then?” She blinked.
“Maybe I was thinking about someone else, who knows?” He shrugged, facing her too.
“That can’t be me, is it?” She jokingly asked.
“What if it is?” He said seriously.
“Are you…. tipsy?” She asked with another blink.
“Do I look tipsy?” He replied.
“But you’re….
Loud already leaned in before she could finish.
He kissed her, and she felt millions of goosebumps on her skin again.
Before she could even think about it, she held his face and began kissing him back.
Their kiss collided with 12am when fireworks exploded in the sky, writing MERRY CHRISTMAS in the dark clouds.
Malik is still wearing his Christmas costume as he stepped into the balcony with bottles of vodka to share with them, but he was quick to see the scene.
He stepped away from the balcony, bumping into Sin who’s also just coming.
“What’s up?” Sin looked up, but Malik just walked away.
Sin frowned and took a look at the balcony.
Immediately he saw the ongoing kiss, he knew that was it.
Loud’s hand is even inside Jinx’s top right now, cupping her b👀b.
“Oh…shit” Sin muttered, rushing after Malik.
“Malik! Gawd damn it! Malik!”
