Abducted By Lust *Book 1 of the Köhler Series*

What it Came To

A few days later, Adele was finally getting used to their new living arrangements. It was nice there, but they still had to find who was behind the hacking, leading her to search their old footage from home. Each day, everything seemed normal... nothing was out of place, and Dele felt like pulling out her hair. She had watched over sixty-something videos and nothing. Either someone hacked the systems outside their home, or they erased everything.

She was ready to give up until something caught her attention. Dean... one of Axel's guards, was captured snooping around their home late one night. He made it a point to search every room except theirs. It made him suspicious, and it appeared to her he was searching for something. Whatever it was, he found it in Luca's office, which made her question why he needed to look through the bedrooms. Still, it set off alarms in Adele's head, especially when he was always with Axel... He was his personal guard.

He was with him now, which caused Adele to leap from her seat, scaring Zeus as she ran downstairs to find Luca. "It's Dean... The traitor is Dean!" She whispered, running into the playroom where Luca sat with the children. "Liebe, what are you talking about? Dean would never turn on my Father."

"Maybe not on his own, but this video tells a different story. This is surveillance of the week before we left for Sylt. It shows Dean snooping through our home... every room but ours, and he was in your office, and he found something there." Adele wasted no time showing her husband the footage as Luca's face went from happy to pissed. She knew the problem; he was upset because the man was in the house with them and their children and working with the enemy. If it was to be true, the enemy knew where they were.

Adele knew this and so did Luca, which was why he quickly stood, leaving her to run and catch up. Dean needed to be found, and they had questions only he could answer. Lucky for them, it didn't take long to find the bastard, and before he could greet them, Luca slammed the man's head against the counter while Dele gripped his hair and kicked him in the growing. Once kneeling before her, she placed her gun to his head.

"Queen!"

"Tell me, was I your Queen when you traded on us?" She questioned as the man looked at her like she was crazy. Dean knew exactly what she was speaking of, but he decided to play dumb. "Who ordered you to snoop through our home? You have one fucking chance to answer me, and you better be truthful."

"Don I-I."

"I'm the one speaking to you, so fucking answer me!" She growled as Luca shrugged, but Dean continued to stare at Luca with pleading eyes. He couldn't help him as he diverted his eyes to something behind her. Axel stood in the doorway, waiting for him to answer her question.

"I believe your Donna asked you a question, Dean. I would also like to know the answer... so, fucking talk before I put a bullet through your head."

"I— I work for you... and my Don and Donna, Sir." That wasn't the correct answer, and he knew it as Adele cocked her gun, ready to shoot him, but she decided to give the man another chance. "One last chance, Dean. Who are you working with?"

"Please... please, they had pictures of my family. I didn't know what else to do... they wanted documents involving Köhler Fashion. They would have killed them if I didn't fall through. I left my wife so she wouldn't be subject to this. They are my world. All of you should know I would do anything to protect them and you, Donna. I did what they asked of me and nothing more."

"Why were you snooping around in our children's room?" Dean arched a brow as if he knew nothing of what they were speaking of, making Adele pull up the footage, allowing him to see. "That isn't me, Donna. I only entered Don's office and made copies of the documents I was asked to find. After I left."
