SO BAD

ADELINE'S POV

"This is all really crazy Addie." Liam says as he drives me back to Adrian's place. I didn't want to stay too long at Dante's because then Adrian would start getting really suspicious. I'm sure he's crazy right now having his guards look for me left right and center. Besides, very soon Adrian will be locked up far away and Dante and I will be together again.

"I can't believe I'm driving you straight and right back into the Lion's den. You have no idea how freaking worried I am about you. Why didn't you tell me Addie? I thought we were closer than that?" The tone of his voice breaks my heart but I think Liam knows exactly why I couldn't tell him.

"We ae closer than that Liam. But you're just such an upright person. You follow the law. You're literally a lawyer. If Adrian wasn't a murderer and I told you I wanted to scam him for petty reasons, you would have never been okay with it. I mean you have to admit that the only reason you're helping Dante and I is because you found out Adrian is a psychotic and racist murderer." I turn my face towards his car window and stare at the landscape absentmindedly.

"Besides. You look so happy with Naomi. You have piece of mine and I didn't want to take that away from you. You should be happy and just involving you in this is already so dangerous. For you and Naomi. I just didn't want to be a burden." I admit honestly

"You're my sister Adeline. I've known you my entire life and I'm still here, aren't I? if you were a burden, I would have left a long time ago."

I turn back to face him and place my hands on his knee. He keeps his gaze forwards as he drives.

"It's going to work Liam. Everything is going to be okay. I already have Adrian's trust somehow. I admit that he's unpredictable, even more than I thought but I can do this. So far, everything has worked out perfectly. I really don't see what could go wrong now." I say.

Sooner than later, Liam finally arrives Adrian's mansion and about five guards surround his car. It doesn't look like Adrian is back yet and I let out a breath of relief. I can't deal with him right now. I quickly get out of the car and the guards relax a bit when they see that I'm okay.

The fact that they are pointing guns at Liam is already a red flag. I can't believe I didn't notice how really and extremely violent Adrian was before, but ever since Martha explained everything to me last night, I've been putting some pieces together and everything makes sense now.

"Everyone relax. I was just out with my best friend. Can you please put those things away?" I order, referring to the guns. The shock on Liam's face is enough to tell me how scared he is. If he had any doubts that Adrian was dangerous, that has all changed now. When the guards hesitate to put down their guns, I smirk and walk closer to them.

"You know I was able to get out of here without anyone noticing. I wonder what your boss with think when he leans of your incompetence. Do you guys think he'll forgive you all for your negligence?" They look to each other in contemplation and then finally put their weapons down.

I let out a breath of relief and walk towards Liam. "Just go. I'll be fine from here." I whisper to him. He hesitates and then nods obediently. I wave at him as he drives away and let the guards lead me back into the mansion.

"Can one of you send Martha up into my room please?" I ask one of the guards as I head upstairs.

"No can do ma'am. She's locked up right now." The statement stops me in my tracks and fills me with pure horror and dread. I turn back to face them with a sinister look in my eyes.

"What did she do to get locked up?" I keep my voice calm and composed.

"We have to wait for the boss to come back and tell us what to do with her." They say and don't explain any more. They just leave me standing there in fear and confusion. I run up to my room and pace back and forth until I hear the sound of a car pulling up into the driveway.

I haven't even changed from what I wore when I was with Dante earlier but I can't think of anything else except Martha right now. From what she told me last night, trying to run away from this place warrants death and I can't let anything happen to her. I promised to keep her safe and I promised to get her out of here and give her a good life. She can't die because of me.

As soon as Adrian gets back, he goes into his study with a few guards and locks it shut. I head for his study but the door is blocked by two guards.

"Let me in." I order.

"Boss doesn't like to be bothered while he's working." One of the guards say. I'm on edge right now so I don't even think before acting. Before I know it, I connect my fists with his face making him drop to the floor. It's about time I started using all the skills I learnt from karate and combat training. The guard immediately drops to the floor, holding his bleeding nose with shock.

The other guard stares at me wide-eyed and soon, the door to the study flies open. Another guard stares at the commotion outside with wide eyes. I walk past him and into the study.

"Can you please tell your guards that no one tells me what do apart from my fiancé? They seem to think I take orders from them. Please make them understand that the only person I take orders from in this house is you." I'm so angry and murderous right now but I use my words to sweet talk Adrian.

He gestures for his guards to leave the study and in a few seconds, I'm left alone in the room with him. He looks thrilled to see me and he looks even happier about the fact that I just basically admitted to him that I take orders from no one but him. From the look on his face, I suppose his guards haven't revealed to him that I went out without supervision today. I guess my threat worked.

"What's got you in a mood, love?" He asks with a smile on his face leaning back in his seat. "I didn't know you were this feisty. You know every single day, you turn me on even more."

"I can't find Martha and your guards told me she's locked up. Does this mean I'll have to get another personal maid? I can't Adrian. I hate repeating myself and I already explained my daily activities to Martha and she did a pretty good job following my orders. I want her back." I say folding my arms across my chest.

I'm trying to act like I couldn't care less about Martha but my heart is constantly in my stomach as I wait for what Adrian is going to tell me. He rises from his seat and strides towards me.

"Martha broke a very important rule today. She has to be punished and I'm afraid she might not be coming back. I'll find you someone better." Adrian says.

He's not being clear with me, but from what he just said, it's not hard to deduce that he's going to kill Martha and now I can't stop thinking about what she did to distract the guards. The only thing that would warrant her death is if she tried to run away.

It all makes sense now. I was so focused on getting out that I didn't even think about what Martha would have to sacrifice. This is all my fault. The only thing she could have done to cause that great of a distraction was to try and run away and I just let her do it without even thinking.

"I don't want another maid, Adrian." I pout my lips and look up at Adrian with doe eyes. My boobs are perked up from the tight shirt I'm wearing and as I stand inches away from him, I grab his collar and look up into his eyes.

"It's Martha I want. Whatever she did, I'm sure she'll learn her lesson with the right punishment. Please don't send her away." I take an even bolder step and place my hand on the bulge through his trousers.

"If you do this for me, I'll do amazing things to you when we're finally married." I say. He tenses up and stays silent for a while and I know that I've gotten to him. He's so horny that he'll do anything I tell him to right now.

"I'll bring Martha back on one condition." He starts saying. "I can't wait anymore. I have to be able to touch you. I'll sign the contract with your parents in a week we'll get married as soon as possible. I want you to be mine Adeline." He says and buries his face in my beck. His hands land on my ass and he grabs my ass cheeks tightly as he kisses my neck.

I want to push him away but all I do is nod. He's not only a psychopath, but he's impulsive too. He has no idea the mistake he just made. Signing the contract sooner means I get to leave this place sooner, but that also means I have a week to find proof against.

"Of course. The sooner I'm yours the better. I want you too Adrian. So bad."
