Bonds of the Alpha Billionaire (Maya and Alex)

-Maya’s POV-

We stood there, locked in a silent stare– down, the air thick with unspoken words and unresolved issues. Adrian’s eyes, once bright and mischievous, now seemed dull and empty, like two cold s staring back at me. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I look in the changes

in him.

I finally broke the silence. “What are you doing here, Adrian? How did you find me?”

He took a step closer, his long strides eating up the distance between us. I retreated, my back pressing against the rough wall of the building behind me.

“That’s not the question you should be asking, Amaya,” he said, his voice low and menacing. “You should be asking how I am, after being thrown in jail, abandoned by everyone I tho

I shook my head, trying to defend myself. “I did try to visit you, Adrian. I swear it’s the truth.”

It wasn’t a lie. After Alex kicked me out, my life spiraling out of control, I had tried to reach out to Adrian, hoping he could help me make sense of the cha

His expression didn’t change, his eyes still cold and hard. “Did you now?” he repeated, his tone dripping with mockery…

I glanced around, trying to escape the intensity of the moment. That’s when I realized my legs were throbbing, my feet aching from the long run. I had no from Adrian and his suffocating

“You’re not going anywhere until I have the answers I need,” he growled.

I was trapped, pinned against the wall, with no escape in sight. Adrian’s grip tightened, and I felt my vision blurring, my thoughts racing with fear and con

Revenge.

That’s what this was about. Adrian’s desire for revenge was evident, like a living, breathing thing. I felt a shiver run down my spine as he released me, hi

He stepped back, his eyes never leaving mine, as he reached down to pick something off the floor. A half– smoked cigarette. He pulled out a lighter and lit it up, the flame casting eerie shadows on his face. Two thoughts crossed my mind: first, that was disgus

“You pick up a lot of things in there,” his voice cut in, as if reading my mind, “habits, when you’re in jail, you do what you have to do to survive. Kill or be killed.” His voice was matter– of– fact, but his eyes told a different story. The Adrian I knew was dead, and in his place was a stranger, a man hardened by the harsh realities of prison life.

I felt a wave of nausea wash over me as he continued talking, his words dripping with malice. “I got out two weeks ago, and since then, I’ve watched. Ev destructive ways… there’s no difference there.

My heart raced as I continued staring at him, my mind racing with thoughts of my children, my family, my life.

How much did Adrian know?

And what would he do with that knowledge?

His eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing as he continued. “I know all about it, Amaya. I know Alex kicked you out of his life on the same night. I was thrown

My eyes widened in horror. “You’re sick, Adrian. I’ll never help you or play your twisted games.”

His laughter was like a cold wind, sending shivers down my spine. “You’re so naive. You think you have a choice? You think you can just walk away from this? I’ve been watching you, Amaya. I have done nothing but watch. You value your children the most and I’ll use them too, if ! have to.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

I felt a surge of fear, my heart racing with panic. “You’ll never touch them, Adrian. I’ll die before I let you hurt them.”

His smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with a madman’s intensity. “Oh, I’m not going to hurt them. At least, not yet. First, I’m going to use you to destroy Alex. And then… well, we’ll see. Maybe I’ll let you join me in my revenge. Maybe I’ll even let

“Good decision,” he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm, as he released some of the pressure on my neck. But he didn’t let me go, no, he just adjusted his grip, his fingers digging deeper into my skin.

I swallowed hard, trying to find my voice. “What do you want from me?”

Revenge.

That’s what this was about. Adrian’s desire for revenge was evident, like a living, breathing thing. I felt a shiver run down my spine as he released me, hi a deep breath, coughing, my throat sore from the pressure.

I shook my head, my mind racing with thoughts of escape, of protecting my family “You’re crazy I’ll never help you. And even if I did, Alexis not the same man you knew. He’s changed, Adrian,”

Adrian’s laughter grew louder, more maniacal. “You really are naive, You think you know Alex? You think you know what he’s capable of? | know him. Am manipulative, power–hungry bastard he’s always been. Nothing has changed there, he just hid it well enough from you.”

I felt a surge of anger, my claws extending, my wolf growling “You’re not going to use me. And you’re not going to hurt my family. I’ll kill you

first.”

“You’re so predictable. You think you can threaten me? I’ve been in jail.. I’ve seen things you can’t even imagine. I’ve done things you can’t even imagine
