Irresistible Invitations novel Chapter 1

"Em-Emmett" I spoke registering what just happened. I was in a state of shock now. I was beginning to feel my head spinning very badly yet I managed to compose myself for the sake of Emmett.

"Emmett" I cried as I ran to him dodging Zachary successfully.

"Emmett!" I cried holding his face and began to pat his face. His eyes were closed and I looked down to see blood oozing out of his middle region.

"Emmett open your eyes. Please!" I begged and cried when he didn't even respond.

"Juliette!" I heard someone calling me and I looked towards the people to see Jace screaming for me as he was held by a man stopping him from coming near me.

"J-Jace look what happened to Emmett. He is just not opening his eyes" I cried.

"Juliette!" Kiara cried looking at me.

"Kiara look what just happened" I cried holding Emmett's Face.

"Emme-" I was cut off by Zachary himself as he shouted "Enough!" at me and got hold of my arm pulling me up. I began to struggle against him to let myself free.

"Let me go!" I cried wanting to free myself.

"You are coming with me" he spoke in a dead voice and began to drag me with him.

"Juliette!" I heard everyone shouting for me.

"Leave her" Kiara screamed trying to get me from the crowd.

"Leave me!" I cried, even more, when he ignored my pleadings and began to walk towards the exit.

"Where are you taking me? Let me go!" I cried as I began to struggle again and tried to get myself free.

"Juliette!" I heard my father screaming for me.

I looked back at them to see them crying for me. My eyes fell on the figure who was lying on the floor.

"Emmett" I whispered feeling helpless.

I was dragged out of the church and immediately a Limo Pulled before us.

Zachary nodded at his men who were surrounding us holding their guns probably for security. Security for Zachary.

Zachary pulled me towards the limo and I began to struggle more.

"Leave me! Leave me" I screamed and finally, I was able to yank my hand away from his hold. As soon as I was able to free myself I turned around to run back to Emmett but again I was stopped when Zachary took hold of my hand and made me turn back to him again.

Using all my force I used my other hand to slap him hard on his face.

His face turned to the left and his widened probably due to shock.

"You Bastard who do you think you are?" I began to scream at him.

Suddenly his face contorted with anger and he glared at me looking way too angry.

"You will know soon who I am" he hissed and pulled me to him making me gasp "and for that slap" he traced my face using his gun "I will just let it slip as it was too much for you for a day but" he stopped on my lips "next time I will kill you" he warned and his eyes showed sincerity.

I gulped a lump in my throat but nevertheless stood my position. I glared back ta him which made him smirk.

"Feisty hu?" He whispered seductively now.

"Now! Be a good girl if you want your family to get out of that church alive" he pulled me closer as he folded my hand on my back.

"W-What do you mean?" I whispered not finding my voice. My heart thumping loudly.

"My man are still inside that church. One wrong move from you and they are dead" he spoke emotionlessly as killing people was nothing to him.

"You wouldn't" I stammered feeling anxiety growing inside me. I was feeling suffocated now.

"Try me" he whispered.

"Why are you doing this?" I cried as I couldn't stop my tears any longer. I began to feel helpless.

He stared down at me but never answered my question. He took hold of my hand and turned around dragging me with him. I kept my mouth close only because of his threat and cried silently following him.

He pushed me inside the limo and got in after me closing the door. But I heard my name being called when he closed the door.

I looked out of the window to see Dad running out of the church with Jace and soon mom came following them.

"Juliette!" I couldn't hear their voice but guessed my name probably being called by them as they began to fight against the man trying to come to us.

The Limo started to move and soon it began to run to god knows where. I kept staring at the figure who were fighting against the man to get to me.

"Dad mom" I whispered as we lost their sight and I slumped back on my seat sobbing feeling helpless. I looked towards the left towards Zachary who stared down at me with a neutral expression.

The only thing I felt for him right now was hatred. I hated him so much. He killed my love. The thought that I would be not seeing Emmett again in my life pained me and I hated Zachary more for it. He was the reason what just happened.

"I hate you" I whispered but I knew he heard me as he turned his head away from my direction and stared out of the window.
