Chapter 19

  • Bella’s POV
  • Theo moves out of in front of me, so Ivan can see me for the first time. Our gazes meet instantly and I watch as Ivan eyes roams down my body than back up. He gives what I think is an approval nod, before reaching out and grabbing my wrist and forcefully pulling me to him. Not having any other choice, I reluctantly let go of Kat’s arm. I see Kat moving to Enzo’s side. As soon as I’m nestled close enough to Ivan he bends down and whispers in my ear. “We’re about to go wish my mother a Happy Birthday. I hope for your sake that you’ve heeded my suggestion about learning how to act. Make no mistake you will be under the scrutiny of my mother. Her approval is no easy task, nor is my father’s. It’s no secret that if my parents don’t approve than there isn’t any reason to keep you around. But I’ll say this if you are thinking you can act like a hood rat, so I’ll let you go. Then think again, I’d sale you at the slave auction, or give you to my men to enjoy. There isn’t any path that leads to your freedom.”
  • I swallow the lump in my throat and nod my head. Forgetting Ivan is the type of person that likes audible confirmation. I quickly remember, when he puts his arm around my back and squeezes me tightly to his chest. With his other hand he places it under my chin making me raise my head so, I would be looking at him directly in the eye. He grits his teeth and hatefully spits out. “Is that how you answer me? Do I need to teach you a lesson right here in front of everyone?”
