Chained To The Devil novel Chapter 40

Alexander

I was about to get into my car to leave when my phone started ringing.

Aymen.

“What’s going on?”

“Fuck, Alexander…”

His voice is weak, like he’s injured. I tense up.

“Why are you talking like that?”

“Last night, I was watching Khalid like you asked me to. One of his bodyguards spotted me, and the bastard alerted his colleagues. They ambushed me, and several of them came at me.”

I clench my fists. I resist the urge to throw my phone on the ground.

While I was sleeping in his daughter’s bed, Aymen was making sure Khalid wouldn’t come and disturb me. And he got hurt because of me.

“Where are you? I’ll come get you.”

“Don’t worry, it’s just superficial injuries. I’m in better shape than they are. Don’t do anything stupid, you know very well how quickly you can lose control.”

“Tell me where you are, Aymen!”

He sighs. He knows I’m not going to let this go.

“I managed to drive back to the villa. I’m so pissed I got caught during the stakeout.”

“Who cares! The most important thing is that you’re okay!”

“Don’t do anything stupid to get revenge, Alexander.”

I don’t answer and hang up. I head back toward the main entrance of Khalid’s villa.

He made a huge mistake by going after Aymen. He’s not just one of my men—he’s my brother. I won’t tolerate anyone laying a hand on my people.

I reach the main entrance when I come face to face with Inara.

She’s dressed in black with a pair of boots. She’s clutching the bag I gave her with the weapons inside.

She raises her eyebrows when she sees me, while I shoot her a scornful look.

I don’t give a damn that I slept in the same bed as her.

She’s that son of a bitch’s daughter. She shares his blood. She’s an enemy.

“What are you still doing here?”

“Get out of my way.”

“You’re not allowed to be here.”

“Didn’t seem to bother you last night when you were in my bed!”

She glares at me.

“You know very well it wasn’t intentional! Stop yelling, someone could hear you!”

I clench my jaw.

“I told you to get out of my way. Do it now without arguing.”

“Are you suicidal or what? My father’s men will kill you!”

I grab her arm firmly, pulling her close and glaring at her.

“You’re going to shut your damn mouth! I’ve got something to say to that son of a bitch you call a father. Move right now if you don’t want me to shatter you into pieces!”

She furrows her brows and tries to break free from my grip.

“You want to call your goons? Go ahead, call them so we can laugh!”
