You Are Mine

Clara

Adrian

Oh f**k.

Why is she here now? From the corner of my eyes, I could see Nicole's beautiful face, her big blue eyes lost in confusion, her lips parted, as she tried to understand what was going on. She had to be the most beautiful thing ever. Very soon I would show her that, first I had this problem on my hand to deal with.

"Baby," Clara called, as she noticed me standing at the front door. "these bastards will not let me in, I don't know why," she whined.

"Watch the tone you use Clara," I warned, "these are my men not just any security."

"Then why would they not let me in?" she asked angrily. "I've never been so disrespected before Adrian." I signaled to my men, and they all went back to their places. I would reward them later for following my instructions, some others though just did not know when to quit.

"Clara, what do you want?" I took a few steps closer to her trying to steer the conversation from Nicole who had not said a word since.

"Why are you asking me that Adrian, you know why I am here. Also, who the f**k is that?" she said, as she eyed Nicole scornfully. "don't tell me you found another illegitimate sibling,"

I opened my mouth to warn her of overstepping, but Anderson beat me to it. "I see you have not met my new sister in law yet," he said as he emerged from the direction of the gardens.

"What," her face lost its color almost immediately. In all the years I have known her, I had never seen her so white, and pale. Even after the few times, we had fights, she still managed to maintain her demeanor and composure. After all, she was the daughter of one of the most feared men in the country after my father.

"That's right," Nicole said and walked to us with a smile. She stretched a hand out to Clara who looked at her in disgust, "Nicole Peters Davonte, Adrian's wife," she smirked.

"Adrian, what is going on here?" Clara turned to me, ignoring Nicole's outstretched hand. "What the f**k is this, who the f**k is this b***h?"

In a second my hand flew out, and I grabbed her by the throat angrily. She fought and kicked, trying to push my hand away from her neck, but even her long hand was no match for my trained and skilled hands. "Let go of me you bastard," she yelled angrily.

"What did you just call her?" I asked, squeezing harder.

"A b***h, because that is what she f*****g is," she tried to scream, but her words only came out in choked breaths.

Her defiance was one of the things that drew my attention to her. She was stubborn, unrelenting, heart as cold as ice, with the bitchiest attitude on the planet. She was not the type that would give in so easily. Even if I had a gun pointed to her head, her answer would still be the same. I would have loved that attitude on her any other day but not today.

I squeezed harder, and now she was running out of breath. Her face was red, and streaks of tears fell from her eyes. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Nicole's small frame. Her eyes widened in horror, and she was saying something to Anders about stopping me. I knew my brother would know better than to dare.

"He's going to kill her, stop him," she cried frantically to Anderson.

"I would be the happiest if he did, she truly is one disgusting bitch." Anders said casually and shoved his hand in his pocket.

I turned my attention back to Clara. "Do you want to take that back now? Or would you rather choke to death?"

Her face was now almost as red as her hair, and she was too weak to speak, but I was not letting her go until she realized she could not just stroll into my house and say just what she wanted to.

But instead of showing some remorse, she squeezed out the word, "b***h,"

My anger flared up, and I pulled my gun out with my other hand.

"Oh my God, Adrian she is going to die," Nicole said as she tried to pull my hand away from her neck, with no success.

"Adrian let go of her," she screamed, as tears rolled down her cheeks. Ignoring her, I pointed the gun at Clara, who was now too weak to stand on her feet.

"f**k, how can all of you be so f*****g cruel, help her, he's going to kill her," she screamed at my men who were standing in the corner. They would not dare bat an eye in this direction.

"Don't worry, she'll survive, the b***h has nine lives," Anders said with a chuckle, and I shot him an icy glare. He got the hint and put a rein on his tongue.

The struggle continued as she tried with all her strength to pry my hand off Clara's neck. "Do you want to apologize now?" my question was directed at Clara, her eyes were closed, but I knew she was alive, we had received much worse treatment before.

"f**k you fucker," she choked out.

I chuckled and brought the gun to her head, ready to pull the trigger, but Nicole's next words stopped me. "Please master, I'm begging you not to do this," she pleaded.

Maybe it was the way the words rolled off her tongue so easily, or maybe it was the fear and pain in her tears, but I released my hold on Clara the second she spoke. A surprised gasp escaped her mouth as Clara fell to the concrete floor, almost unconscious.

"You said that on your..." before I completed the words, she ran inside the house, and came back a second later with a bottle of water, for Clara. Clara was sprawled on the floor, too weak to even cough, or whimper. If I did not know better, I would say she was dead, but the moon and sun would have to switch places for Clara to die of a little strangulation.

"Please be alive," Nicole cried, as she went on her knees, trying to revive her with the water. "Please be alive, please be alive, please be alive," her hands were shaking as she sprinkled the water over Clara, she was crying so much her eyes were red, which made me feel a twinge of guilt.

Everyone else watched carefully, without a word, I included. I could not bring myself to be bothered about Clara. Aside from the fact that I knew she was fine, there were many times I wished to kill her with my bare hands, and if Nicole had not stopped me, I would have lived out that dream.

"Get your filthy hands off me," Clara said as she regained her strength. Nicole released a long sigh of relief followed by more tears, as Clara pushed herself off the ground.

"Are you okay?" she asked in a concerned voice as she got to her feet too.

Instead of an answer, Clara, let out a long evil sarcastic laugh, "f**k you girl, keep your care to your ass, and stay the f**k away from me."

"Clara," I called in a warning tone. But she held a hand out to stop me.

"Is this the human you chose over me? She was actually crying, like a toddler." Clara said with a scornful laugh. "Has she ever even held a f*****g weapon before? Princess, have you ever held a gun before?"

"I am not a f*****g princess," Nicole exploded, like a badly done science experiment. "And all of you," she said, pointing to me, Anders, and my men. "you are all nothing but a bunch of sick f***s, f*****g monsters. Do you think this is funny? You think it's funny to just take anyone's life whenever you like because you are some god or what?" she pointed a shaky finger at me. "You are disgusting, I f*****g hate you with every breath in my body, every single breath in me." fresh tears streamed down her eyes every second, and the last thing she said before storming off into the house was, "How did I get into such deep s**t,"

Anderson ran after her, following her into the house, giving me some time alone with Clara. I shoved my gun behind me and grabbed her arm pulling her in the direction of the garden where Anders had just come from. Despite her protests, I only released her when we reached the middle of the garden, far away from prying ears.

"I hope you feel satisfied now?" I asked as I turned her to face me.

"Satisfied?" she repeated with a sarcastic laugh. "How the f**k am I supposed to be satisfied when you have given the one thing I wanted more than anything to someone else?"

"What are you talking about Clara?"

"Would you f*****g drop the act. You can stop pretending that you do not know that I want to be your wife more than anything in the world. Even a dumb person would realize what all the visits I set up between you and my day were for."

"Marriage was never part of our deal Clara so stop it," I warned with a harsh tone, ignoring her glib remarks.

"Of course," she barked a loud laugh, and for the first time, I saw real tears fall from her eyes. She wiped them away angrily, as she spoke. "Because I'm good enough to swallow your c*m, to have your seed dripping off my ass and p***y, good enough to be tied, whipped, chained, punished, clamped, plugged, but not good enough to have your damn ring around my finger. Right?"

"Let's not pretend you do not love receiving pain as much as I love giving it, so do not pull that emotional bullshit on me, Clara," I warned. "We had a very strict agreement before we started, clearly stated that our relationship was purely s****l, we f**k, give each other pleasure, and life f*****g goes on. None of those emotional bull."

"Yeah, because god forbid, the cold-hearted woman who can not feel anything falls in love with the monster she had a crush on since kindergarten." her voice broke, and she took a long pause tipping her head back to push back tears.

She reached a hand out and cupped my cheeks, "Adrian, you know I would do anything for you, I'd f*****g die and kill for you Adrian. But please don't do this to me, I don't know how I would live without you. I love you so much Master, please."

"You're touching me without my permission Clara," I said, and she immediately retracted her hand. I shoved my hand in my pocket.

"I like you, Clara, you know that. You are not only a well-trained sub but also a well-trained killer. But that is where my affection for you ends. You are a very beautiful, strong-hearted woman, but I don't think I can ever love you. I made it clear to you before we even got together, so please do not think I'm being unfair to you. I have signed my part to terminate our contract, sign yours and let's end this without a fuss."

"What does she f*****g have that I don't" she screamed in my face.

I could not possibly tell her that Nicole was the ticket to my dad's freedom and give her a new weapon. I knew her too well, she would do anything to get what she wanted. She was that ambitious, not that I could blame her, I was just as ambitious. It was how we were brought up, to use whatever to get whatever.

"Innocence," I answered simply, that was not a lie, I had never met someone so innocent and pure before. Maybe it was because, she had just graduated high school, but then again, when I graduated high school, not a single person in my class graduated a virgin—me included.

She chewed on her lip, unable to hold back her tears. "I wish I could say I'm sorry Clara, but I really have nothing to be sorry for. It was a clear deal, and you broke the rules. You chose to do this to yourself. Sign the papers, have a copy delivered to me, and I wish you good luck in your next chapter of life."

With that, I turned and headed back to the house.

"I'll hurt you back," she said, stopping me dead in my tracks.

I pivoted back to her, "What?"

"I'll hurt you back for this Adrian. I promise you that very soon I'll take something so dear from you, you will feel pain twice what I am feeling today, and I am in a lot of pain right now." she wiped away fresh tears from her eyes.

"I'm pretty sure you know I do not take too well to threats, do not start a war you can't fight," I warned.

"I would not dream off it." she stepped closer, and pressed a light kiss to my lips, unexpectedly. "But I will be back for you when you least expect it. Goodbye." she pushed past me and headed back to the main entrance.

Without giving her words a second thought, I shook my head and headed back inside to fix the issue she had created for me. When I got to the room Anders was at the door, pleading for Nicole to come out, he looked really worried, and I feared she had hurt herself.

"What's going on?"

"She will not come out, I have tried every card, but it's not working. Man, you should not have scared her like that." Anders said.

"I'll handle this, you can leave."

"You sure?" he asked, looking at me suspiciously.

"Anderson, I have been taking care of this empire since dad's arrest, I think I can handle my upset wife for now. Besides, I have a master key."

"Okay okay, boss," he shrugged and turned to leave. "I think she is terrified enough for one day, please try to keep your gun away from the conversation. Your gun and threats. I'll talk to you later."

I fished the key from my pocket and opened the room door. It was still day, but the room was pitch black. The lights were off, the curtains were down, but I could still make out her small body sprawled on the bed. As I turned on the light, I realized that she was shaking, and her face was now swollen from crying so much. Her eyes were small, and the tip of her nose was as red as a tomato.

"Nicole?" I called as softly as I could.

"Please leave me alone Adrian," she said, still sobbing, without raising her head.
