Chapter: 14.NicolasI stood at the head of the conference table, my eyes facing the room filled with the company's top executives. I had called this emergency meeting to address the future of the company; now that my grandfather was gone and with his condition filled, I was taking control.“As you are all aware, my grandfather's passing has left me in charge of the company now.” I begin pausing to take in their facial expression.However, just as I was about to continue my speech, one of the senior executives spoke up."Excuse me, Mr. King," he said, his voice hesitant. "But didn't your grandfather say that you had to be married before you could take over the company?"I felt a flicker of annoyance, but I kept my cool. I glanced over at Giovanni, whose face had held a frown.I didn’t miss the shock on his face when he saw the resume work this morning.What was he expecting? He wanted me dead by now, and he should be the one in my position now, ready to take over.I wasn’t going to rip him off hi

Chapter: 13.Riley’s POVI slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. It looked oddly familiar before it registered to me that I was in Mr. King's bed.I lifted slightly, rubbing on my eyes, trying to rub off the remaining sleep in my eyes. As I moved, I felt a soreness in my body, a gentle ache that reminded me of the events of the previous night.I stared at my body, feeling a flush rise to my cheeks as memories of Mr. King's touch, his kisses, and his caresses, and how he felt inside of me flooded my mind.I felt my cheeks heat up as I ran a hand through my hair, letting out a growl, shame, guilt, and yet, satisfaction.I couldn't believe what had happened between us. It was like I had lost all control, all sense of reason. I had given in to my desires, and now, I felt...conflicted.Everything that has been happening feels like a movie; giving in to Mr. King made me feel so vulnerable, yet the hint of protectiveness that came with him still lingered. I don’t want to get my hea

Chapter: 12.Riley’s POV My heart froze at his words before picking up at a fast rate, my throat suddenly feeling dry, my skin missing the contact of his lips on it. The tension between us was palpable; the air thickened. He tugged a hair behind my ears; without hesitation, he leaned in, his lips capturing mine in a searing kiss. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me. Waves of shock washed over me, leaving me tongue-tied and helpless. Before I could even process what was happening, Mr. King's arms wrapped around me, lifting me off the ground. I felt like I was floating, my feet dangling in midair as he headed towards the room. His kiss was soft yet demanding. He bit on my lower lip, seeking entrance, and I let him take my hands, driving into his soft silk hair, trying to match his pace. I couldn't believe this was happening. Just moments before, I was furious with him, demanding answers and feeling betrayed. But now...now I felt like I was melting into his ar

Chapter: 11.Riley’s POVI couldn't hold back the tears anymore. Agnes's words cut deep, and I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. I broke into sobs, my body shaking uncontrollably.He had to have a motive; that’s what all rich people do.They’re best at using people to get what they want regardless of their feelings.I can’t believe I agreed to this. I should have never believed him in the first place. He made it seem like he cared about the child and was willing to help, but I should have known better. Just then, Mr. King walked out, a look of concern on his face. "Riley, what are you doing outside?" he asked, walking towards me.I turned to face him, my eyes blazing with anger. "You!" I spat, my voice shaking with rage. "You cheat! You used me! You lied to me!"Mr. King's expression changed, his eyes narrowing. "Riley, calm down. What are you talking about?" he snapped.“I am a ticket to taking over your late grandfather’s company.” I spat.His eyes darkened.“What is it? Cat got your tongu

Chapter: 10.Riley’s POVI walked down the aisle, my hand clutching Anderson's arm, Mr. King's maternal uncle. The soft music and gentle rustling of the guests' clothes seemed to fade into the background as I made my way to the altar.My mind was elsewhere, transported back to my wedding day with Asher.The memories came flooding back, and my heart ached with a deep sadness. My lips quivered, and I felt like I was going to break down in tears.I wanted to turn around and run away, to escape the pain and the heartache that threatened to overwhelm me.But I couldn't. Right now, Mr. King was all I had. He was my only hope, my only chance at revenge against Asher and those who had wronged me. I took a deep breath and continued walking, my eyes fixed on the man waiting for me at the altar.Mr. King looked handsome, his eyes locked onto mine as I approached. He smiled, and I felt a flutter in my chest. I pushed the feeling aside, reminding myself that this was just a business arrangement.Nothing more,

Chapter: 09.Riley’s POVI paced back and forth in the room, my thoughts running wild. How did I end up in this situation? I was getting married to a man I barely knew, and his family was treating me like I was part of the family. It didn't make any sense.I stopped pacing and looked around the room, feeling like a prisoner. I didn't want to be here, I didn't want to get married to Mr. King, and I didn't want to be a part of this stinking rich family.I can get into another marriage when I just got divorced three days ago and to a rich person like Mr King.All these elites are good at nothing but cheating; they could have anything at the tip of their fingers; they act like the world revolves around them, and it doesn’t.I’ve made the mistake of letting Asher deceive me for all these years, and I won’t be doing that again.My thoughts are caught short when I hear a knock on the door. I took a deep breath and walked over to open it.Mr. King stood in the doorway, his eyes fixed on me. "Riley, we ne

Ex Husband’s Regret: He Wants Me Back
“What do you want, Piccola?” He asked, giving my pussy a small lick.
I shuddered, my eyes rolling back, my core begging to be attended to.
“Darius, please.” I muffled a moan, shamelessly lifting to get contact.
I was desperate and dying for a release, but Darius was hell-bent on torturing me.
“What do you want? Use words,” he asks, his thumb caressing my core.

Angry Pair Of Grey Eyes.Rachel’s POVDarius has left me no other choice but to attend the business dinner alone; he was supposed to be back about two days ago, but something came up, and now I am left with no other choice but to go.And he made sure of that. I went to the extent of coming up with multiple excuses, but he didn’t budge.As I got ready for the dinner, I made sure to dress elegantly simple; nothing too eye-catching, though. I chose a beautiful red gown that hugged my curves in all the right places. My hair was styled perfectly, and my makeup—I went for something light, almost like there was no makeup at all.Yeah, yeah! I've never been a fan of makeup.I slipped on my high heels and grabbed my clutch.I dropped by Aria’s room to make sure she was asleep, and luckily she was.My relationship with Aria has skyrocketed; we’re building some sort of a connection, and I couldn’t be happier.

Chapter: 34. I miss herRachel’s POVI stared at Aria, who stared blankly at her plate of pancakes that I had woken up early to make for her.It had been three days since Darius left for his business trip, and it was clear that Aria was missing him because she never failed to ask for her daddy and was always on FaceTime with him whenever he was free.Today was the weekend, and I was trying to get her to eat something, but she wasn't budging."Aria, sweetie, please eat something," I said, trying to sound gentle and persuasive. "You need to take something."Aria looked up at me, sending me a glare that caught me off guard. "I don't want to eat anything," she said, her voice firm. "And you can't make me. So please just go away.I let out a frustrating sigh; I didn’t know how long I could keep my cool, but she was a handful, and it was clear that she didn't want me around. "Aria, please," I said. "Just try a little bit of toast or something. You can’t stay hungry, please."Aria crossed her arms, her face set in

Chapter: 33. You’re Going To Get Yourself Killed.Rachel’s POVI quickly wiped off the tears that were streaming down my face, trying to compose myself. Jasmine noticed my sudden change in expression and turned towards the door, her eyes widening."Excuse me," Jasmine said, getting up from her seat. "I need to go finish up some work."Goddammit!Seriously!?Of all times for Darius to come here, he chose now. I hated being stuck in a vulnerable situation and definitely didn't like the fact that Darius was seeing me in this situation.As soon as Jasmine left, Darius walked over to me, his eyes fixed on my face. "What happened to your face?" he asked, his voice low and furious. "Who slapped you?"I didn't want to respond to him. I didn't want to get into a conversation about Andrew and what he had done. He didn’t need to know that I was being forced to leave him.And that his arsehole nephew has been on my neck and wouldn’t let me be. My love for Andrew has been far diluted; now I want nothing but to see him kneel and beg for my mercy.

Chapter: 32. Making Him PayRachel’s POVI stood there, frozen in shock and hurt, as Andrew's handprint stung my cheek. I couldn't believe he had slapped me. Who did he think he was?"How dare you!" I shouted, my voice trembling with anger. "How dare you slap me! Who do you think you are? Are you fucking out of your mind? Tears filled my eyes, the pain piercing my cheeks. I had let him slap me the other day without retaliating or saying a word; it didn’t give him the damn right to do that again.No one has ever raised his hands on me, not even my parents, and he dared to do that again?Andrew shrugged with no sign of remorse, his eyes cold and hard. "I'm the one who's going to make sure you leave, Uncle," he said, his voice firm and commanding. "It's final, Rachel. It's not a request; it's an order. And you know what happens when you dare go against me: I will make your life as miserable as it already is.

He chuckled, leaning in, “You look cute,” and placed a peck on my lips.I gulped a lump, batting my eyelashes. “Darius… I—“ I couldn’t even form a coherent sentence, feeling conflicted all of a sudden.He breathes out, cupping my cheeks, “What is it?” A lone tear slipped from my eyes, to which he was quick to wipe it off. “We… we can’t keep doing this; it’s not part of the contract, and I—“He sealed our lips, nibbling on my bottom lip as he sought entrance, and I let him.I moan into his mouth and press my body against his, feeling my legs starting to get weak.We kissed for as long as we could before we broke apart. My eyes instantly shut off as our foreheads meet. I could feel his mint breath fanning my face and his steel-grey eyes staring at me.“Fuck, baby, if we stay here for a minute longer, I d

Chapter: Chp-17Lily’s POV I walk into the cafeteria with Anna, scanning the room for our usual spot. We're about to sit down when Asher steps up with a smile that never makes my heart skip a beat. "Hey, Lily, you're going to sit with us today," he says, taking the tray of food from me. I raise an eyebrow, taken aback. "Uh, I don't know, Asher. Anna and I were just about to—"He didn’t let me finish, “Sorry Anna, I will be stealing her away for today; I hope you don’t mind,” he asked. I shared a knowing look with Anna hoping she’d say no, but she only wiggled her brows at me with a mischievous smile dancing on her lips. “Of course you can; that won’t be a problem,” she responds. “Asher, but—“He beats me to it: “No buts; your friend already said yes, and if she doesn’t have a problem, you shouldn’t either. Please just come with me.” I try to protest, but Asher takes my arm and guides me toward the table where the rest of the guys are sitting. Noah, Liam, and Damien are all present.

Chapter: Chp-16.Lily’s POV I was in my room alone a while ago when Maya stepped in and asked me to help her with her homework. We're working on a math problem, and Maya is struggling to understand it. I'm trying to explain it to her in a way that makes sense. I can see that hating math runs in the family blood because it is the same subject Noah has a problem with, but he is getting the hang of it now. I guess. Just as Maya is starting to get it, Noah walks into the room. "Hey, Maya, can I talk to Lily for a minute?" he asks. Maya looks up at me. Her brows furrowed in confusion because she was aware that Noah and I don’t get along so well; she looked a bit confused. But I nod. "It's okay, Maya. I'll be right back." But before Maya can get up, Noah says, "No, Maya, I mean you should excuse us and go to your room, he asks impatiently.Whatever it was he wanted to discuss could wait; right now I was helping Maya, and I didn’t want to be interrupted, or should I say, I wanted to use her as

I still get tingling at the thought of it; I didn’t miss any chance I got to avoid Noah.And I could say I was doing a very good job. On the other hand, Asher and I were building a mutual understanding kind of relationship even though I asked him to take things slow, but so far I like him.I won’t say love, but like rather, he was better than Noah.Nicer, you mean... my instinct protests.Yeah! Whatever.I'm in the kitchen with Aunt Jess, making breakfast. She's scrambling eggs while I'm toasting bread.Aunt Jess turns to me and asks, "So Lily, how's school going? How has Seattle been treating you?" "It's going okay, Aunt Jess," I reply, trying to sound casual as though I wasn’t reminiscing about my heated moment with her son.Gosh!

This is a friendly date, nothing more. looked good, I checked my phone for what felt like the hundredth time, waiting for Asher's call. The only reason I agreed to this date is because I wanted to provoke Noah. I wanted him to know that he didn’t have a say in my life. My thoughts come short when the door bursts open, revealing a tempered scowl on his face. "What is it, Noah?" I asked, trying to sound casual. "You're not going anywhere," Noah said, his voice firm.I raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of annoyance. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "You're not going on a date with Asher," Noah said, his eyes flashing with anger. I laughed at his audacity. "You have no ri
