"Of course," his dad said, with a twinkle in his eyes, he knew he had won.
"If I had heard from you in 3 months, I would have withdrawn from the contract. I don't care what happens to your company. Do you see what I mean?" Storm makes sure.
He nodded. "I'll make sure to put the exact date in the contract. But if you come back a day later, I'll have my own rules."
(1 year later)
She really needs some erotic wallpaper or pictures on the ceiling and walls. She probably needs some motivation or something. For the next 5 minutes, Aira Mendez stares at the same spot while her husband fucks her. There was no way she could call what they did once a week, lovemaking, or even enjoy the sex. She doesn't like Storm or just limits herself to like him.
Her control-freak brother asks her to marry him and even keeps her on guard until she does. They have been married for a year and they only see each other once a week in this horrible house to have sex to have an heir. Not that they can have heirs.
Before she knew she was getting married, she had implants that prevented her from getting pregnant. She wanted to get out and live her own life. That didn't happen. Aira wanted to meet new people, date, have sex, and do other things instead of being a wife, but-
Now, it's her home, but she's never lived in it because she hates it. The house is so cold, and gloomy, she was raised in a cold house, and she will not spend the rest of her adult life in a place that leaves her empty.
Push in, pull out, in, out. Storm continues to have sex with her while Aira just lays there. No emotion, no passion. With his face pressed against her neck, she kept counting the curves of the ceiling.
Every month before and after her period, she would go to the house, they would have sex, and then, he would leave her and go back to his own life. The women she imagined being with him when he wasn't with her didn't have this trouble. To her, sex with him is just boring. Their combination doesn't make any sense. Which is a shame, because Storm is a handsome man. He's the dark kind of guy.
His dark half-curly hair always looked like it needed a cut, but it made him look sinful, like his dark eyes. She never knew what he was thinking. They never talk, not really. Aira never asked him about his business or his life. He doesn't know what she likes, or that she has another life besides their weekly or once-in-two or three weeks meetings.
Storm tensed up and growled to let her know he was finished. Once he's done, there's no lingering touch or loving words. He wrenched himself free from her and headed for the bathroom. She refused to look at him. Lying in bed, she counted to five before moving. Aira and Storm have different bathrooms. She stared at her reflection in the mirror as his cum dripped down from the inside of her thighs.
They've been married for a year, and for a year they've been coming to the house to have sex. Storm thought she lived here, and she was sure of it. She stayed in the house for the first five months of their marriage until she realized he had a routine to visit her. The moment she realized his routine, she found a place of her own in the near and started life outside of him.
Running fingers through her hair, she sighed. There were no physical signs of sexual intercourse on her body. She met Chloe after a passionate night with her brother. Chloe has red marks from stubble and small marks from sex. What does she have?
She had some of his cum dripping on her leg, which was washed away when she stepped into the shower. Storm has sex with her only to have a son if possible. What he didn't know was that, before they were married, she used a form of birth control that involved having a tube inserted into her arm.
She was safe for another three months to their anniversary. Aira wanted to tell him directly, but he kept himself out of reach. He's so closed, so reserved, he never tries to talk to her. Aira was ordered to marry Storm. She didn't know him, and what she knew, she didn't like him. He's a workaholic billionaire heir. He runs his family's business, as well as his own.
She had also seen pictures of him in magazines, alongside models and business partners. Aira was hurt the first time she saw it, not because she loved him, but because he made her feel like a fool. From the moment she started living her own life, she didn't care. He has his life, she has hers, and the media has long since stopped questioning their appearances.
Stepping into the shower, she starts thinking about what she's going to do for the week ahead. She has three films to shoot and two more series to tackle. Her manager wants to do contract work for her international films.
Everything in her life is changing, and she wishes she could keep up with it all. She may come from a famous family and live a media life, but she doesn't like it. Aira went to great lengths in her life to avoid the media, but her love brought her back to the media.
After taking a shower, she took the clothes and went into the bedroom. She quickly dressed and walked downstairs. She made herself a hot cup of coffee.
Goes to the living room. She sat down on the sofa when the Storm appeared.
"I'm leaving. I have a business to attend to"
"All right." She was leafing through a magazine, too lazy to look up. "
Do you have anything to say to me? Or there's something you want me to buy something for you?" he asked.
Looking up, she saw him standing beside her. "No." He gritted his teeth and nodded, ready to walk away from her. Before she could go back to her magazine, he turned to face her."See you next time." "Alright." He was very strange. Storm never made sure to be back, nor did he ask if she wanted to talk or about what she wanted. "Do you need to talk to me?" she asked. He tensed up, hesitating. "Nothing.""Oh okay."She looked down at the magazine and wasn't surprised to hear his distant footsteps. She walked to the window and watched him make his way to the garage. What's up with him? She waited until she was sure he was gone before finishing her coffee and locking the house.She closes her eyes.A sad sigh left her mouth hearing the sound of his car starting. With the size of the house, she could only ask herself why it was so hard to breathe now that Storm had left.Suffocating!Storm drops his phone and dashes across his office, staring out the glass walls. It had been a week sinc
"With all due respect, I've been dealing with calls from her critics, directors, and the media. They want your response."Storm paused. "What? Why wasn't I informed about this?""I try to tell you, but if you say anything to do with the media or your wife, I have to deal with it. I tell them you're busy like I always do." Viane walked over and was about to say something, but stopped."What's this?" "Haven't you seen any of her audition videos or pieces?" "No. I didn't even know the heal she could act and model!" He was on the point of throwing a tantrum, pissed off. His wife had a completely different life, and he knew nothing about it. Viane goes to the laptop and Storm slumps into a chair. Before him, Viane loaded a web page and hit play."Believe me, this movie is worth seeing. Lots of life lessons and entertainment."For the next 15 minutes, he listened to his wife talk to her audience and show a passion he never showed for him. Her eyes were shining, and there was an energy and
It took her audience a long time to discover who she was, a gradual process until she hit the news. The wife of a billionaire heir is an actress. She expected Storm to contact her, but he did nothing. With the way he was around her, she suspected he didn't even know what she was doing.Ken kept moaning and groaning as he praised her performance. Leaning on the sofa, she smiled. Kendrick is her best friend and a next-door neighbor. There are two large apartments in the building, and Ken is now a big-name model and actor. Out of the blue, they strike up a friendship that is also bonded by his having the world's biggest crush on her cousin Shamia.Of course, Shamia isn't in love with the model and doesn't believe Ken wants anything from her. But who knows?He took another piece of cake she had baked. "Are you going to put this on your channel?" "Yeah, I was thinking, besides acting I'll be vlogging too. What do you think?""I don't know. This cake is deliciously made. Tell ladies to giv
Storm couldn't believe how little he knew about his wife. Aira's cheeks turned bright red, and she cut him a large piece of cake without saying a word. He saw Shamia parked outside the building and walked right up to her. "Did you find her?" Shamia asked. "Take me to her apartment, Sham. I'm not in the mood for games.""I'm not in the mood to help you hurt my best friend." "I'm not going to hurt her. I need to talk to her."As he walked into the house, he heard moans and groans, all the signs he'd never heard from Aira's mouth. Jealousy touched him deeply. No man is allowed to touch what belongs to him, and Aira is his woman. He would be damned mad at the thought of another person touching her. He wants her all his.Taking a slice of sinful cake, he took a bite, not knowing what to expect. The moment the fluffy cake hits the tongue, it's like an explosion of flavors. As he took another slice, his mouth watered and he just couldn't help it. He needs more."Wow, you did this?" he ask
"Oh god, I'm so sorry. Not you at all. Before we got married, I went and had implants." She shows the inside of her left arm. "I had it implanted before I got married.""You should marry Ezra, not me. So, you don't want to have kids with him? But why not have your implants removed after marrying me?""I was about to tell you, but you seemed determined not to talk to me about anything. You're always so busy you never want to really talk. I don't think it will last this long. A year is a long time to fall into some sort of rut, and I think you'll find your release elsewhere - "Somewhere else?""Yes, women you dated. I have seen your pictures in newspapers and magazines. I think you've found what you're really looking for.""I'm not looking for anything."Storm, you are a handsome man. I know I'm not the kind of woman for you."He doesn't like that. "What the hell does this mean?" he asked, angry that she would belittle herself like that. "You're a handsome and popular guy, Storm. I'm
"No, nothing between us. He is a friend who likes my friend Shamia very much. For Pete's sake, I'm married. I take my vows seriously.""I'm telling the truth, Ai. I didn't sleep with those women. I haven't been with anyone since you.""You have a heartbreaker reputation, we sleep together once a month. Do you expect me to believe you?" she asked."Yes, I do. I believe in you, without a doubt. I want to be with you, I want more than what we build together.""You want what?""I want to be with you.""But I don't want to live in a house that is cold to me. This is home, it feels like home to me, even though it looks busy, I feel alive here. I don't want to live in that kind of house. If you want to be with me it's not possible, unless—Do you want to live in my penthouse?""Well, your penthouse fit for me. Now, you say you have implants. How long can this last?""Three years, I still have two years?""I want you to continue it. Neither of us wants kids yet, and I think it's time to focus
"He read that book?" Shamia asked. "I have no idea."Not sure enough, her cell phone rang, and she saw that it was Leo calling. "Hello," she answered. "Aira, sales of tickets and prints soared. Like everyone watching Storm on the news finally realizing who you are. This is good news. We had to increase our order for print copies. I know it. This book is as good as the series is. Deserve to have the movie adaptations that soon." Happiness and excitement can be heard in Leo's statement.After hanging up the phone, Aira smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "You are not happy, are you?" Shamia looks worried."I hope it's about me, us. What we created.""Babe, we're selling well. That's a small boost," Shamia said. "It's not just ours. Nothing in this world is ours. It can be helpful to have someone who will speak for you. You are lucky that he has. This is what you love to do and he is supporting you."Deep down, she was genuinely happy. Not only did Storm express his approval
"Cold hands, warm heart, sweety nose," he said. "Yes. My grandpa used to tell me that all the time. She also said my hands would cook delicious food and good in plants. I have great pastry-making hands, honesty, and a maternity hip."She put her hands on her hips and his cock thickened. "Your body is so damn good." It's a body he wants to explore, and get his hands on. He was getting aroused, and his cock was getting a little painful as it pressed against his zipper. He moved the lapel of his jacket, moving it over the evidence of his erection. "Why are you not happy with what I did to help you?""It was so stupid. Leo called me up and he said once your conference or interview or whatever you do, my book and ticket sales and page followers skyrocket.""Isn't this a good thing?" He did it to show support for her, to help her. "Yes, that's a good thing. Shamia told me it was a good thing.""Don't you think so?" "You run two very big businesses and I can't help you. My books, my movie
Clara clear all doubts and misunderstandings!"Where are you going?" Jacob asked big-sister Clara."This is just an in-flight visit to clear up misunderstandings. I will come back to see Castiglio next time. By the way, Mira—"Mira raised her head nervously. Clara laughed again. "Your brother managed to convince his mother not to sell the family painting with the house. I'm glad to see them hanging where they belong."***"Clara can run in circles," Mira muttered as the limousine disappeared from view. "She was mopping the floors with us." Still in shock, she started back indoors. Then it dawned on her: Clara knew everything. There's no need to pretend anymore, and there's no need to wait for a divorce any longer. Suddenly, Mira's lower limbs struggled limply through the swamp like toothpicks. Clara removes the artificial boundaries formed by their relationship. They are running out of time. "How can you tell her our marriage is fake?" Jacob angrily condemned. "Do you really thin
Mira took a step back, frustrated by the bodyguard's barely concealed hostility. He hesitated, apparently determined not to insult Jacob for his assistance during her stay. From the door, she glanced back."Things are not what you think." She said helplessly. "I shouldn't be thinking about anything, Mrs. Delrama." But there was accusation about him, his usual quiet friendliness chilled by what she believed to be a fiercely defensive loyalty to Jacob.It's only when Jacob is in this situation that he realizes that Jacob is too damn manly and proud to want her around him, which prompts Mira to go back to her room. She lay in bed and watched the dawn break. He was really upset, he must have been drunk. Mira tried very hard to understand. Hadn't she herself betrayed Dimitri's trust in the same way? She agreed to marry Jacob only under duress,If she had known what their fate would be in the morning after the ceremony, she would have run a thousand miles. Jacob wasn't trying to disinher
"I don't hate anyone." But Mira is still ashamed because she remembers her resentment against his legal family reaching explosive proportions before her brother's death, only that was when she met Jacob and Clara and before she let herself face reality."Dimitri doesn't love anyone," she pointed out sternly. "He never stopped loving Clara. Even if he knew about me, I think Clara knows this and that's why she never gives him a choice." "You didn't give me a choice either," Jacob reprimanded bitterly. "You let me continue to think that you slept with Dimitri. Even though you know this belief breaks my heart, you keep me believing it!""I keep telling you we're not lovers, but I know it's pointless! The only possible explanation for Dimitri's will is the one I've come up with." Jacob's eagle-like profile was frozen with suppressed emotion, and he gave her a sharp look."But I must admit that I cruelly and cynically misjudged Dimitri and did everything in my power to shirk the responsibi
But not just in the moment when she revels in the fact that he can't take his eyes off her. Mira was awakened by the thunderous slam of the door. She blinked confusedly in the light and stood up against the pillows, looking vaguely at Jacob, standing at the foot of the bed, shirtless except for a pair of faded skinny jeans hanging down over his thin hips. There was a gentle smile on her lips. He looks so magnificent, he always looks so magnificent,She could even forgive him for accidentally waking her out of a deep sleep for the first time in days. Vicious black eyes stared at her fiercely. Mira froze in amazement, her smile gone, her abdominal muscles tensing. Waves of seething tension emanated from Jacob. "What's wrong?" she asked in a low voice."I'm hungry. I got up to get something to eat and on the way down I started wondering what was so important about these documents that my lawyer felt the need to fly over and put them in my hands himself and if they were worth that much.
Raw triumph flashed in his glistening eyes. He ran slowly, looking for his fingers in the pouty mound he had bared for fun. As his thumb brushed the stiff pink bud approaching him, she gasped and stood up against him, every nerve ending in her body screaming in response. He pushed her to the ground with passionate kisses. She kissed him back with desperate urgency, everything she had suppressed for so long.Endless days suddenly betrayed her in a possessive storm. Her hands ran over his body, smoothing the warm golden skin that encased the whiplash muscles, and she let out a hungry moan of impatience. "You're always in a hurry—" Mira writhed and squirmed, on fire wanting him, without a semblance of self-control, not even remembering. Her fingers gripped his thick, silky black hair, and she moved her legs in an invitation to pain more blatantly than words.With a sharp groan, Jacob reached for her hips and pulled her under him. Then he hesitated. "I don't want to hurt you anymore."
"Change it." Mira pleaded sincerely, and hurriedly avoided him and walked towards the house. "I'm going to take a shower." "See you upstairs," Jacob said softly. She froze and then understood what he meant. He had to change, and although he slept in the bedroom opposite to her, half his clothes were in the closet in her room. Her head was still spinning. One kiss and she's gone without a trace, and Jacob can do anything to her! No wonder he was laughing!She was his and he knew it. A taxi was already waiting in the courtyard, and when Mira entered the hall, a maid was leading a man with a briefcase into the living room. The man stopped for a moment and almost looked at Mira in surprise. Then, just as suddenly, his piercing black eyes veiled nodded politely and disappeared from her view.Mira looked curiously at Klaud standing under the stairs. "Who's that?" "Mr. Delrama's lawyer." No doubt the man was staring at her because she looked horrible in her gardening attire it wasn't a
"I know what I'm doing, Sol." "How can you say that? There's no peace in Castiglio. We're all crawling around the house—no smiles, no laughs. That wonderful delicious food—He said if he didn't finish another meal, he'd leave!" "Jacob is very bad-tempered." "Having a wife who works all day in the garden, he has a reason. You're neglecting your husband." Not in her dream, she didn't."He thrives on neglect." Sol gritted her teeth disapprovingly, shook her head, and got up to leave. "You're as stubborn as he is." Mira regained her energy and continued weeding. If her brother looked down on her and Jacob now, she knew he would blame her too. But from the moment Jacob asserted that if she were related to Dimitri, he would feel obligated to maintain a married relationship with her, Mira decided not to try to use that as a basis to attract and keep him.After successfully seducing her into bed, Jacob candidly admits that his only interest in her is sex. If he knew she was Dimitri's sist
The powerful car stopped in the yard. Jacob turned off the engine and turned to look at her, black eyes as hard as jet in a vibrantly handsome face. "When you lose your temper with Sheldon, your mood can turn bad. He is your security blanket and I think you are old enough to live without him. Times have changed, don't try to tell me differently, baby. What you want now is me—"Forever, and always, she thought horrified, clutching at the depths of her own vulnerability. She wants so much more than she hopes to achieve. Jacob held up a strong hand and gently tucked a handful of colorful spirals between his fingers. He lifted her brooding face, subjecting her to the onslaught of his stern scrutinizing gaze. "I want you," he said with great succinctness. "So what's the problem? In my opinion, this is a simple and completely straightforward relationship."Mira held her breath, almost drowning in the evocative scent of him being so close, and a flurry of small reactions made her dizzy an
Sheldon makes a deliberate U-turn in the colored vehicle. "I've always promised myself to take a vacation. The moment you said you were in Castiglio, I saw the sun, water, and the sand and I realized where you had to be. From there, it was just a matter of studying the map." As he drove down the steep mountain road at the crawling speed of a fear of heights, holding the steering wheel painfully tightly, rounding each zigzag corner with ease,Mira thought about Jacob feverishly until she was dizzy with tension. Bang! He stole her peace and security. And what did he give her in return? A terrible sense of inadequacy and self-loathing, and an unreliable temper like an active volcano. "If you are threatened by Jacob, please yell." Just last night, he told her that she had a fight with him and wanted to arrest him! He's seen inside of her and understood something that she didn't understand herself, and it's horrific.She should have known she was in love with him the moment she found her
