Chapter 329: Culprit
She felt a sharp pain on her neck as Marcus wasted no time in biting her neck. The pain lasted only for a few seconds before the greatest pleasure Diana had ever experienced in the history of her sexual life came flooding her senses like a tsunami. She gasped, raising her head as her movement slowed down a bit to get used to the sensation that almost made her head explode with pleasure.
She felt Marcus lick the bite mark as soon as he removed his fangs, awed by the beauty of this man. "I love you, Diana." He said as he quickened his thrusts again, aiming to give her the release they both wanted so badly.
As soon as he whispered the words, she had the same sensations that always ran up her spine. Before having her second orgasm of the evening, she shouted into his shoulder. He quickly joined her in her joy and injected his hot seed deep within her. scooted off to the side to avoid crushing her with his weight as he collapsed against her with a few final thrusts.
"I love you too." Diana whispered as Marcus pulled her closer to him, placing a gentle kiss on her lips. "Thank you" he said to her before her eyelids closed, drifting into a deep slumber.
The morning sun peeked through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room where Marcus and Diana lay tangled in each other's arms. Their night together had been a mix of comfort, vulnerability, and the reassurance of their love for one another. But as the serenity of the morning settled in, a jarring sound pierced the air—the ringing of Marcus's phone.
Marcus groaned, reaching for his phone to answer the call. It was Atlas. Diana, who was also awake and curious and sensing something serious, stayed close, waiting for Marcus to finish the call.
"What is it, Atlas?" Marcus's voice carried a hint of concern.
"I have some important news, Marcus," Atlas replied on the other end of the line. "We traced the kidnapper like you requested, and it seems Sofia was behind the whole thing."
Diana's eyes widened, shock and anger bubbling inside her. She clenched her fists, waiting for Marcus to continue the conversation. When he hung up, she couldn't help but ask, " Why did she kidnap me?"
Marcus took a deep breath, his face etched with a mix of emotions. "Sofia is obsessed with me and the idea of having me for herself, so she couldn't bear the thought of me being with someone else."
Diana's heart sank, a mix of fear and anger coursing through her veins. "And she kidnapped me to get back at you?"
Marcus nodded solemnly. "Yes, I believe so. But I promise you, she won't be a threat to us anymore. I've asked Atlas to send all the evidence he gathered to the authorities and have her arrested."
Despite the assurance, a sense of unease lingered in the air. Diana knew that people like Sofia could be unpredictable, especially when they felt cornered.
"I want you to confront her, Marcus," Diana said firmly. "I want you to tell her off once and for all, that you love me and that she can't come between us."
Marcus hesitated, not wanting to put Diana in harm's way. "It might not be safe, Diana. She's unstable, and I don't want to risk your safety."
Diana looked into his eyes, her determination unwavering. "I won't let her scare me. I want her to know that I'm not afraid of her and that we won't let her ruin what we have."
Reluctantly, Marcus agreed, knowing he couldn't dissuade Diana when her mind was set. After breakfast, they prepared to face Sofia together. As they stood outside her residence, Marcus's hand found Diana's, interlacing their fingers for support.
They entered Sofia's home, and Marcus confronted her, firm and resolute in his stance.
'Who do we have here, the two lovebirds decided to pay me a visit. To what do I owe this visit? Sofia said in a sardonic manner, enraged to see the two of them at her doorstep, that too with fingers entwined and looking happily in love.
"Sofia, what you did was wrong and unforgivable. You stooped to the lowest level possible after my countless warnings and rejections. I don't love you, and I never will. Diana is the only woman for me, I love her and there is nobody that can get between us.
It would have been great if you understood this from the onset and not chased what did not belong to you, making yourse;lf a criminal along the way." Marcus said, holding Diana's hand more tightly.
Sofia's face contorted with jealousy and rage, and she reached for the gun hidden beneath the table. She thought if she could not have Marcus, then none of them would have her as she pointed the gun at Diana. Before she could act on her impulsive anger, the sound of sirens filled the building signaling the arrival of the authorities, as the officers swarmed the room.
Diana's heart pounded, hugging herself close to Marcus. "It's over, Sofia. You can't hurt us anymore. Let the authorities handle this now."
Sofia's desperate attempt was foiled as the authorities rushed in, apprehending her and taking her away in handcuffs. Diana and Marcus watched as justice was served, but their hearts remained heavy with the ordeal they had just faced.
As they stepped outside, Marcus pulled Diana into a tight embrace, holding her close as if he never wanted to let go. "Thank you for being brave," he whispered in her ear.
Diana leaned into him, feeling safe and loved in his arms. "We faced the darkness together, Marcus. And we'll always be there for each other."
With Sofia now in custody, a weight was lifted off their shoulders, and they knew they could finally move forward without fear. As they walked back home, hand in hand, they realized that their love had grown stronger through the trials they had faced.
Their journey was far from over, but they were ready to face whatever challenges came their way, knowing that they had each other to lean on. In the embrace of their love, they found the strength to embrace the shadows and the light, discovering that together, they were invincible.
