We held each other for a few minutes. I let go of him first.

“Let’s go to bed,” he said and gave me a small smile.

“You go ahead,” I smiled back. “I will grab a glass of water first.”

“Okay, Minnie,” he smiled at me and stood up.

He kissed my forehead and walked out of the kitchen.

I stood up and walked to the cupboard to grab a glass.

I was startled when the backdoor opened. My hand flew to my chest, and I almost screamed. I relaxed immediately when I saw Blake.

“Blake,” I sighed in relief. “You scared me. What are you doing here?”

“Aria,” he said quietly. “What are you doing?”

“I was grabbing a glass of water,” I said. “Is everything okay, Blake?”

He looked so sad. I hoped that everything was okay.

CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE – I’ve Waited Enough

Victor’s POV

I was standing behind the tree looking at the house where she was hiding.

If she thinks she could hide from me, she was really stupid. Luckily, I didn’t need her brains. I needed her power.

“Do you think the boy will succeed, boss?” Rick asked.

“If he doesn’t want to see his girlfriend dead, he will have to succeed,” I said, not taking my eyes away from the house.

“Do you think she knows where Calvin is?” he asked again.

I rolled my eyes and looked at him. “Stop talking or you will be sleeping in the dungeons tonight.”

Rick bowed his head at me and looked away.

I sure hoped this bitch knew what happened to him. I knew he was dead. I was not stupid. Calvin would always pick up the phone. Always. I was sure the bastard didn’t even know how to type. I wanted to hear it from her. I wanted her to tell me what they did to him. He was an annoying fucker, but I could always rely on him. He was one of my best men, and now I had to put up with Rick.

Not that Rick wasn’t good. But he wasn’t Calvin. I couldn’t hold the obsession with this girl over Rick’s head. Calvin was really motivated because, not only did he want her for me, but he also wanted her for himself. Rick was good, but he will never be as motivated as Calvin was.

Those fuckers killed him and thought they could trick me. What they didn’t know was that I could feel her power. I could find her even if she left the fucking planet. There was a magic shield around the house, but even that didn’t stop me. I will always be able to find her because she has something that belongs to me.

“Where are we taking her, boss?” Rick asked me.

“Cora’s,” I said. “Did you prepare everything?”

“Yes, boss,” Rick said.

I nodded and looked back at the house. I wonder how long it would take for the boy to bring her to me. I sure hoped that he wouldn’t fail. I would hate to have to kill that pretty little thing of his.

He was hard to convince. He didn’t want to help me. I guess he really liked my little power source. But as soon as I mentioned his girlfriend, he changed his mind.

Goddess, they were so stupid. Love was a weakness. When you love someone, it could and would be used against you. That was why I didn’t love. I never loved anyone. I will never love anyone. I didn’t even love my mate. She was a good fuck and a loyal subject.

Until she turned her fucking back to me and tried to go against me. She was the same as I was. She wanted power, not love. I was sure she thought of me the same way I thought of her. I was a good fuck and her ticket to being powerful. We were perfect for each other. I guess the Goddess really doesn’t make mistakes.
