CHAPTER 11— FACADE
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Lexie's panic attack had just settled and now she sat dumbly on Zheme's lap, unable to face him.
After all, she had appeared vulnerable before him, her body had shaken like live branches caught in a storm and her voice had been nothing but a quiet squeak. She felt betrayed by her own body and within her, she couldn't find an ounce of pride left.
But aside from betraying her, her body ached with cramps that held onto each of her muscles and pain bit into each of the wales on her back.
She felt tired too, a nauseous feeling clinging to her head and the nerves within it, yet still, she refused to tarnish her already diminished pride any longer.
Instead, she tried with all the strength she acquired to shuffle out of Zheme's lap. But she was too weak or was it that Zheme was too strong?
His arm was like a shackle around her waist, clinging to her tightly and almost desperate

After eating a bellyful, Lexie sat indignantly in the kitchen, watching almost begrudgingly as her fiancé threw the plates in the sink. His back was turned to her and though the dark, blue shirt he wore aspired to hide everything of his bodily features beneath it, it couldn't hide the muscles that protruded from his back, the broadness of his shoulders and the thickness of his arms. Even through it, Lexie could imagine how built he was, how strong, and now, she was feeling lucky that he wasn't the one who had whipped her. If it had been him, she'd probably be dead by now. He'd show no mercy, not that the old man did, but he was much stronger than that frail midget. Sighing, she leaned back in her chair, silently watching as he finally turned to her, face as blank as a clean sheet of paper. "Come, the doctor recommended that I rest, it's awfully early, but I think you need rest too." &
A Bride For The CEO CHAPTER 13— THE PRICE OF DISOBEDIENCE
★†★ Lexie felt it as her blood ran cold and her throat got dry. He was standing in front of her now, his expressionless eyes assessing the nakedness of her body with intensity. She didn't know what he was thinking or what he was planning to do, but she was sure it was going to be something cruel. Zheme on the other hand was certain of the wickedness in his plan. He knew what he had to do in order to gain submission. The beatings won't work, so this method will have to do. He stepped closer to the bed, relishing in the augmenting fear that lived in Lexie's eyes. It was so enthralling and endearing to him: her glossy eyes, her quivering lips and her trembling body, it all made him feel superior, it somehow aroused him. His dark eyes shifted down to her bosom, her nipples stiff from the cold, ready to be tasted by his greedy tongue. His eyes then traveled down to Lexie's m
A Bride For The CEO CHAPTER 14—INSATIABLE HUNGER
★†★ In a deep pit of shame, Lexie closed her still shaking legs. If she hadn't hated this man before, she hated him now. After all, he left her in an insatiable state of hunger, not for food but for his sinful touch. She wanted to get down on her knees and beg for it, but her pride would never allow her to stoop so low, so instead, she turned away from his blank face and let her eyes wander around the giant room. A bedside table sat right beside the king sized bed and situated on top of it was a framed photo and a stylish lamp. The other furniture laid out inside such as the closet, the dresser and whatnot were all rustic and dark and the walls were painted in a dull white, empty of decorations. All in all, the room was void of anything captivating enough to catch the eye, it was as dead as the look on the owner's face, but it was livable. Sighing out a puff of air, she

†★ Lexie's eyes fluttered open as she was pulled from the deep sleep in which she just seconds ago abided in. Her eyes, though a little blurry darted around the room, firstly noticing the half drawn curtains that the sunlight spiralled through and secondly, she noticed that the side on which her captor once laid was now lacking the warmth he provided all through the night. Her eyes once again glided across the room, looking for any sign of him, but she found none, not even his shoes, or a discarded piece of clothing. Curiosity tied a bow in her head then and she wiped the sleep out of her eyes, then as indolently as possible, she shuffled out of bed. Her balmy feet touched the stylishly tiled floor as she walked her way to the door, pulling it open and stepping outside. Her steps then took her down the stairs and her eyes assessed the whole room for him until she heard something
A Bride For The CEO CHAPTER 16— A PROMISE IS A PROMISE
★†★ Zheme told her to bathe, without a word she did. He gave her clothes, without resistance she put them on. He told her to sit, like an obedient dog she did. He told her to come, and of course she did. He didn't know what was happening and at first, he thought it was a miracle sent down to him by god, but now, he missed his daring Lexie. The one with a big mouth that only sealed close when she was caged in fear, the one who'd glare daggers at him instead of doing what he asked, but as his father said, obedient was how a woman should be. And Lexie is a woman, isn't she? Sighing, he took a seat on his bed, he had just rewrapped his wound after taking his evening shower and was now waiting for Lexie to finish hers. As promised, she'd receive her reward, anything she asked for would be hers. &nbs
A Bride For The CEO CHAPTER 17— REWARD
★†★ With all the courage she could muster, she grabbed his hand that was running circles along her thigh, bringing it closer to the needy thing between her legs. "I want you touch me, I want... I want that release you refused to give me last time." At those sensual words, Zheme's cock hardened beneath Lexie's bum and he stayed still as her hand guided his between the folds of her flesh. Then was when he acted, finger sliding over her clit before dipping into the tight, wet cavern that resided between her legs. Just like the last time, it was warm and soaked in the cream of her desperation. So wet that Zheme had to wonder if this was how deep in destitution she was, how deep in need of his touch she dug. If so, then he couldn't keep her waiting long. She wanted a release, she'd have it. His finger drove deeper into her, and Lexie moaned out
A Bride For The CEO CHAPTER 18— REWARD PART 2
★†★ His lips attacked her neck, nipping at the succulent skin until he was sure it held a mark. He moved on, lips skimming her chest until they resided over the rigid peak of her breast. He flicked his tongue over it, groaning deeply when Lexie moaned, her legs flexing against the hot, hard flesh that hanged with a curve between his thighs. His hunger grew then, his cock swelling with the need to fill her up so the fire within him can finally be husked. But he knew he had to be patient and maybe just this once, be gently. After all, this was a reward and not a punishment. His tongue circled her nipple as he grabbed his hard-on in his palm, aligning it with Lexie's sleek and wonderfully tight hole. With one particularly hard thrust, he was sheathed inside, refusing to prolong the torture for her by going in slow. She cried out, ju
A Bride For The CEO CHAPTER 19— KEY
★†★ Feeling a little dejected, Lexie answered. "You're right, it isn't my business." Zheme nodded against her, body gradually relaxing as he dwelled in the warmth diffusing from her bare body. Their position now, though it was rearranged, reminded him of the times when his mother use to let him sleep in her embrace. Those nights when his father claimed he had work. He could vividly remember it... Nights like that had seemed to be joy to her, she'd dance to old songs and bask in what she called freedom. He didn't understand it then, her definition of freedom, since to him, she was already free. But now since he wanted his exemption, her words had come to make sense. For physically, he was free, but mentally, he wasn't. His mind was locked in a dungeon, but the keys remained in his own palm.

"Kellen, come here!"The five year old boy looked over at his mother, eyes sharp. "No, I told you, I want this." He pointed to the pack of Oreos on the shelf. "And I'm not leaving this supermarket without it."Lexie shrugged, grasping the handle of her trolley. "Alright then, stay here then. I'd be happy to leave a naughty boy like you behind."Kellen's lips curled into a frown, eyes becoming glossy. "But momm—""My answer's final Kellen, you're not getting it."Lexie shoved the trolley pass her son, leaving him to stare watery at her back. He sighed, rubbing his hands in his jeans as his eyes darted over to his father who stood beside him. "Daddy...?"Zheme looked down at him then at the pack of Oreos. "Mommy said you're not getting it." He informed, watching as his boy groaned out in frustration before speaking again. "But daddy didn't say so did he?"Kellen's frown stretched its way into a grin when his father grabbed

"Push!"With a loud groan, Lexie did as told, tears running like a river down her cheeks.It hurts, the pain was more than just prominent, so immense that it had her weak legs shaking. She didn't know what to do, all she was told was to push whenever she felt a contraction, but that was hard considering the relentless pain each contraction brought along with it.She tried though, she was trying so hard for her baby boy. What if something happens to him?He was premature and that fact only proved to worry her more, for premature babies were sometimes born with a disability. She didn't want that for her child, she wanted him healthy and fit, though if he was born with a disability, she'd love him the same.A sudden cry edged her lips when another contraction was bestowed upon her, each lasted a minute and this time, she'd use the minute well. She pushed; hard, hands clutching the sheets, teeth gritted.She could feel it, the head j

Lexie's eyes fluttered open, bringing her out of a world of darkness and into one of light.She had fallen asleep on the couch last night, eating ice cream and watching 'friends'. But it seems even after complaining that he wouldn't, Zheme had lifted her and brought her here.Such a sweetheart he was, the perfect husband and yet everyday she found something new to taunt him with.Yesterday, she had taken his slippers, knowing well enough that hers were too small to fit him and today, she was going to confiscate his computer or rather hide it.With an evil smile, she threw his arm from around her protruding stomach and shuffled off of the bed. His computer was kept in his office when it wasn't in use and that's exactly where her steps took her.She twisted the door knob, wasting no time to push the big, rectangular board open and as she stepped inside, her eyes sought for it.On his desk, she found it, seated perfectly amongst mul

Lexie padded to the couch and with a heavy sigh, she took a seat beside Zheme. After the marriage, they had started off clean, the past was put behind them and what laid before them now was the present and the future.They had left the house behind too and had moved to a different one, one more modern and one in which they've already started their new life.Lexie was almost eight months pregnant now, her stomach blown as big as a floating balloon and Zheme only made matters worst by constantly calling her a pig. Not because she was fat, but because she ate a lot. Around the clock she'd be stuffing her face and when she wasn't doing that, she was either tormenting Zheme or painting.Now though was one of the times she felt the need to perplex her husband. He had been doing office work since morning and though he still looked after her, Lexie wanted to feel more important than the computer that sat in his lap.So she hauled the thing from him, placi

Lexie wiped at her eyes, crawling closer to him until her head rested against his shoulder. "I just want you. I'm sorry, I won't do it again, just... Just please hold me...please."Sighing again, Zheme leaned away from her. This girl truly knew what to do to drive a nail in a man's heart.She made him feel guilty, but her plead for him made his thick length even harder. He wanted her too, so god damn much. He could feel the desperation, the immensity of his need and it wouldn't hurt to finally feed his desire.Without much thought, a finger of his slithered its way under her chin, steadying her face so that her teary eyes resided on him. "I'll hold you Kitten, just promise not to do that again, you should be patient, don't I always satisfy you in the end?"Lexie nodded. "Yes, always but are you going to do that now? Satisfy me.""Only if you promise to sometimes wait."Lexie held up her pinky, handing it to Zheme. "I promise."

"Entertain...?" Lexie questioned, following Zheme up the unfamiliar wooden stairs. "What do you mean by entertain?" "I mean..." Zheme sighed. "You're going to show me exactly what you do in the mornings while I'm asleep."Lexie fumbled with her fingers, eyes watching as he opened up the door to the bedroom. "I can't...I can't possibly show you that, it'd be mortifying.""Then...I can't forgive you either." He stepped into the room, eyes scanning the creativity that laid inside.The room wasn't big but it had all the essentials: a king sized bed decorated with fine sheets and seemingly soft pillows, a nightstand upholding a stylish lamp and decorative items and a built in dresser with a flat screen TV on top and an arm chair beneath it.It also had double doors that lead to a balcony that issued a marvelous view of the sea and a seemingly comfortable couch in the far corner of the room.Zheme grabbed the armchair from beneath the

"I can't believe you glared at every single thing that moved at the reception."Zheme's grip on the steering wheel tightened, eyes fixated on the fairly dark road. "I told you I didn't want to go, didn't I?""Well yes, but that doesn't give you the right to scare my friends away, you even gave Mark a middle finger!""He should be lucky that that's all he got, I really wanted to punch his damn face in. Who invited him anyway?""I did." Lexie informed."Well in that case, you're the one that deserves this." His left hand loosened the wheels as he issued Lexie a middle finger. "Pocket it nicely.""Pocket it?" Lexie demanded, grabbing at his hand. "How about I do this instead?" From between her lips, her tongue slithered out, slowly circling his finger. "Isn't that much better?"Zheme yanked his hand away from her, wide eyes leaving the road to stare at her. "Did you just...? Why in heaven's name would you lick my finger Lex

"Zheme Mardruk Algae, do you take Lexie Shay Dillon for your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"Zheme nodded without a doubt. "I do.""Lexie Shay Dillon, do you take Zheme Mardruk Algae for your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"Lexie looked towards Zheme, hands nervously squeezing his. "I...I do.""You have declared your consent to the church." The priest clasped both his hands behind his back, a pleasant yet hardly noticeable smile on his lips. "You may now kiss the bride."Zheme was the first to lean in, plump lips crashing onto Lexie's with a gentle passion.Her lips were as soft and as moist as ever and just like Zheme's they moved with a slow and delicate tendency.At thi

Zheme stood with all the confidence he could muster on top of the podium's spotlessly polished floors. He was still nervous, abashment settling under both his tiring feet.He could hear the music drifting like the wind to his ears, the melodic piano that flawlessly played 'here comes the bride...'He could see the many people in crowd, the chandelier, the flowers, he saw them all, but what or rather who he really wanted to see was Lexie.The only woman in this building that could light up a dark room with nothing but her beauty.She was like a candle amongst the darkness, the sun infiltrating the very sky, she was his light, his forever, HIS BRIDE.After today, he'd cherish her like a gem and like an unhidden treasure; he'd keep her close, just to make sure no one had the audacity to steal her. He'd love her with dignity and never again would he break his promises.Both of them...He'd never lay a finger on her again.
