Hot Chapters
- Running
Looking over my shoulder for the hundredth time in the last half an hour, ensuring no one is following me, I walk fast on the crowded street. Attempting not to make eye contact with anyone, not wanting to be noticed. Being the daughter of one of the most powerful Dukes in Veross City makes me easily recognizable. It is not like I want to run away from home, but what else am I supposed to do when my father wants me to marry Carlos de la Torre?
- Reunion
“Look, I can’t call Mr. Alekos except for an emergency. He doesn’t like to be disturbed while he is working. Besides, I might get in trouble.” Cherry might be frank with me, but if I don’t speak with Alekos…. A lump forms in my throat, and I swallow hard. “This is an emergency. Mr. Alekos is the only one who can help me!” My voice cracks, and my vision becomes blurry. I don’t usually cry in front of other people, but I might do it right now.
- Angel
“What is this bullshit that I got you pregnant?” Alekos snarls. I want to explain, but he keeps barking at me. “Did you tell anyone about this besides the receptionist?” I shake my head. “Good. Because if rumors of me getting a Duke’s daughter pregnant appear in the press, I will kill you!” I have no doubt he will. “And now I have to look for a new receptionist.” I blink. “But why?” “Because she saw your face. I don’t want to start a war with the Dukes.”
- Angel
Alekos puts the office phone on speaker and dials a number. After a few rings, a man answers. “Did something happen?” If Alekos has a commanding tone, this other man sounds… sad. “Not really, but I need you to come to my office. Is Reyes with you?” “Yes.” “Both of you, then.” “On our way.” The man, whom I assume is Stefan hangs up, and Alekos dials another number. A moment later, a woman answers. “Mr. Raptou?” “Florence, you have the rest of the day free.”
- Angel
Alekos keeps moving his fingers inside of me. “It’s only Stefan and Reyes.” he says to me. To them, he says, “Lock the door.” If Stefan and Reyes are here, and Florence is gone, then whatever Alekos has on his mind is about to happen. And it looks like I have to get ready for more pain. I don’t think they will be gentle in any way. The sound of the door closing and then locking reaches my ears, and my eyes jerk towards the movement. Two handsome men—one blonde with brown eyes, and the other with a green gaze and black hair—are looking at me. More at Alekos than at me.
Conclusion
Dive into the intense and dark world of Shackled, where power dynamics and forbidden love create a gripping and emotional journey. Follow Angelica and Alekos as they navigate their complicated past and dangerous present.
