Lorenzo didn’t say anything, at least not immediately as he only smiled and ran his fingers through Shadow’s hair, ruffling it and patting his head.“The last fucking thing I want you to be while I’m still alive is dead, and that’s why I’ll keep feeding you and….” His voice trailed off as he smacked the sugar bomb out of Shadow’s hand before it could get to his mouth.Lorenzo had searched Shadow and hadn’t found anything but he knew that Shadow still had a trick up his sleeve, there was no way Shadow was going to let go of all of his sugar bombs or be soft for that matter.While Lorenzo had looked away, Shadow had secretly created a portal to his room, one that enabled him to grab another handful of sugar bomb without anyone’s notice.Anyone but Lorenzo.“Fuck it!” Shadow grunted, looking at Lorenzo with eyes that he was almost sure Lorenzo wouldn’t be able to resist but he was wrong. “I didn’t think you would realize that.” He sighed.“Yeah, I know,” Lorenzo responded as he seized al

OCTAVIA ADLER. The room fell silent, it was the kind of silence that hung heavy in the air, filled with words neither of us needed to say, and I could feel my eyes slowly fluttering shut. My heart was full, my whole body trembled from the intense workout but I didn’t regret a thing, and if I had to make a choice over again, I would choose to let him use me for his pleasure again. “Are you okay?” He asked, his voice reverberating through the room, and sending cold chills down my spine. I nodded in response, my body limp, muscles weak already. “Come on, there’s something I should do.” He added, and before I could protest, his arms slipped under me. I didn’t even know that he was already standing and hovering over me. Heat pooled in my stomach before spreading towards every single part of my being, burning where it passed through, and knowing that I could never win against him, I smiled and let him pick me up. My body was heavy, boneless, but he lifted me as if I weighed less than

Catherine laughed, “I should be ashamed of myself if it isn’t, especially since I have the best teacher in the world.” She said, and Teresa joined in.The day went by quicker than any of them would’ve thought, it was almost as though the universe wanted that very moment to pass by quickly so that they can be yanked back to reality.“Dinner is ready, madams.” The maid that had opened the door to the library said politely. Catherine and Teresa paused their research and nodded.Soon, they were both walking down the hallway and towards the table where the rest of the men were already seated but for some reason, Lorenzo looked like he was furious.“Oh my, I don’t even want to begin to understand what’s going on here.” She said as she sat while Catherine chuckled lightly before joining her at the table.The dining room was alive with warmth as Atticus and Kai spoke about one of the games they’d played in Shadow’s room. “I think we should create a game room for him, we can play as much as we

“Teresa!” Catherine called as Teresa didn’t stop dragging her down the hallway, and soon, they both walked into the library where most of the research and experiments was being carried out.“Oh my god! What is going on?” Catherine asked as Teresa closed the door behind her, she looked like an absolute child as she grinned, ready to unleash on Catherine.Catherine didn’t know why she had asked, she knew the reason Teresa had dragged her away from the boys even though she didn’t want to talk about what happened in the realm.She could tell that Teresa was more interested in the pulsing soul bond, which has gotten significantly stronger after their ordeal in the other realm.“You’re going to pretend that you don’t know why I brought you here?” Teresa asked, her eyes scanning the library and finding a chair, she sank into it with a sigh.“You’ve been gone for about a month, and just like the mission in Tokyo, the both of you retired with an even stronger soul bond, how did that happen?” T

The sound of that company’s name aroused more than just curiosity in everybody. They were angry, and Teresa was physically fuming so much that it looked as though she was about to explode.Kai’s fist clenched, his teeth gritting as they dug into his tongue until he felt the metallic tang of blood explode in his mouth.He didn’t want to rule out the possibility that the Benson family knew exactly what was happening and still joined hands with that figure from the other realm.After all, they’ve been gunning to kill him, and since they knew they would never get the chance as they are, the best option would be to join hands with a more powerful figure.He didn’t say anything. Not immediately. But his lips curled up as he stared at the computer, and not wanting to keep looking at it, he turned it away before looking at Shadow.A reaction, that was what they wanted from him. Did they think that he was the type to dive into the problem head first without thinking.“It’s clear that they’re t

There was a long moment of silence while the men all laughed about something, Catherine couldn’t keep her eyes off of Kai even if she tried, she couldn’t stop thinking about his words.She didn’t want to be the only person that had to be protected, she wanted to be able to protect, and while she was able to do something in the other realm, she knew that Kai did most of the heavy lifting.She took another sip of her tea and heaved out a sigh that made Teresa immediately turn to look at her. Teresa could tell that something was going through her mind, and she didn’t want to leave things that way.“What—”“Teresa?” Kai called before she could get the chance to ask Catherine what was going on with her and why she had let out such a heavy sigh.“What’s wrong?” Teresa smiled, looking away from Catherine and at Kai who seemed to be back to his usual self, he was smiling like he usually does but there was a glint in his eyes that suggested he wanted to do more things.Kai had been thinking ab
