[ Nicholas ]The dinner plan went into the trash bin for two reasons; firstly the over annoying presence of Rain's mother and secondly my wife's over meekness. She never retaliates when people tries to crush her either by words or by actions. She takes everything quitely and it frustrates me.I hate weak people but my own life partner is one of the weakest straws. The one quality I admired in her sister was her independent and rebellious soul. She never let anyone walk over her, the way she used to carry herself, she was an inspiration if I exclude her black heart.On the other hand, Rain is quite the naive girl who still needs to learn many things. She must stand on her own feet but she always looks up to men in her life. I hate to admit but she also includes me in the list. I know I have some responsibilities towards her as her legal husband but I can't be her amputee hand. She needs to learn how to thrive among the odds of life.Speaking of Rain, I've observed a few unique things a
[ Rain ]They say, bad beginnings make good endings. Our married journey started on a rocky path but I determine to walk through all thorns and bumps in a hope, my happiness would be waiting at the end but last night Nicholas splashed cold water on my bubbling hopes.I thought we have a progress in our relationship, he started acting less cold and interacted with me, it gave me little bit of hope that one day we'd have something of our own, something I could cherish but he made it clear that he still thinks of me as a happiness robber. It was my plotting that Rose ran away, my father has a secret agenda against him.I can't understand him or could tell if everything is permanent in his heart for me, precisely the hatred but I believed he considers me at least as a human being and treat me kindly. I play with the big stone on my finger, it sits like a thousand ton weight which wants to crush me under it.I smile sadly on my fate grazing my thumb over the fine cuts of the diamond, I re
[ Rain ]"Oh my God! Rain, are you fucking serious? I mean you're going on your honeymoon for fifteen days Europe trip with that sexy meat of piece aka your husband?" Candace's over excited squal takes me off guard. I missed our old days when we used to be carefree but this house has certain rules which we broke most of the times at my old house."Candy, you know it's not a normal honeymoon nor we are a normal couple who are going to make some good memories there. He made it very clear that I have to mind my own business whereas he'd work on his new project during the two weeks and he do not want any kind of disturbance and his parents can't find out about any of his warnings." I tell her with a dejected sigh as we finally zip my bags.When Maa and Papa dropped the bomb over our heads, Nicholas was beyond mad. When they left, he dragged me out of his office and dictated his do's and don'ts' list to me in a crystal clear manner.A frown itches on her forehead."Did he really say this a
[ Rain ]"Nich..Nicholas, you're getting us wrong." I try my best to sound confident but the coldness in his eyes dares me to defy him.He walks toward us with heavy footsteps. My heart starts beating frantically, the anger radiating from him seems to burn I and Xavier down into ashes but unlike me, Xavier is all cool and unaffected by his friend's fury."When did you come, Xavier?" He asks his friend totally ignoring me."Hardly ten minutes ago and found Rain in my way from the kitchen to your home office." Xavier answers him very normally.Nicholas briefly glances at me and again focuses on his friend," And what were you doing in the kitchen?" He cocks his brows.In response, Xavier lifts his coffee mug."To have this and your wife being the generous hostess, she prepared me a cup of coffee. If your interrogation is over, can we discuss business now, of coarse, in your study room." Xavier says.Nicholas doesn't say anything and his silence is killing me more than his words."Okay, l
[ Rain ]I flip the pages of a biography of a famous photographer which I already read multiple times but there's nothing interesting which I can do to kill my time. I stretch my lazy body as it got stiff by sitting idly for hours in the same fetal position on a couch.I wrap my woollen shawl tightly around my torso and padded my way to the balcony of our small private villa in a secluded but romantic village of Switzerland. The far stretched range of mountains with ice caps and coniferous trees in a row is a sight for a nature lover's eyes but all it seems dull and cold to me as my husband has locked himself in his separate room with a 'do not disturb' sign for me.It has been two days since we landed in Bern. His parents booked us a private villa seeing our current relationship status. They didn't want the outsider to have a sneak peak of our sour marriage.This country was always a part of my dream destinations with the love of my life. It has always been a dream honeymoon destinat
[ Rain ]The cold breeze mixed with the scent of various flowers and far stretched mountains bathed in the pink rays of sun is a bliss for a aching heart. I forgot about my huge fight with Nicholas as soon as I spread my arms for the nature.I hired a cab to reach on a cliff from where I can have a clewr view of the town in down valley and a blue narrow stream running through the rift between the mountains. It feels surreal, a different world where everything seems magical like I've seen in the fantasy movies.I bought a box of swiss chocolates and some other sweet treats to eat during my lone trip in these hills and it was worth my decision of leaving the boredom of villa and a sulking husband behind. I took many pictures capturing this moment forever.I was busy enjoying a hot mug of coffee in a small cafe, an attraction for tourists in a deserted area where couples come for privacy in the lap of nature.The ringing of my phone snaps me out of my staring session. I fish out my phone
[ Nicholas ]I wake up by the buzzing sound of my alarm. I feel difficulty in opening my eyes as they burn due to lack of sleep. Yes, nowadays, the personal and professional fiasco has taken a toll over me. I spend hectic busy days and sleepless nights to grab this mega project which may bring us on the zenith of success in the market.On the other hand, my marriage is also playing with my rational mind. Everyday, I discover a new side of Rain who forces me to reevaluate my narrative about her. She doesn't seem to be a greedy gold digger who is only with me to sink her claws on my wealth.She is selfless and puts other's happiness over hers. She's shy yet a regal in her won unique way.A notification alert on my phone brings me out of my thoughts. I stretch my stiff muscles and rub my burning eyes to get rid of the remaining sleep from my eyes though I hardly sleep for three hours.I have a meeting in an hour with the real estate brokers' company to finalise the price of land on which
[ Rain ]Nicholas's bipolar behavior is something I always find unable to decode. Last night he just only not expressed his wish to get rid of our forced marriage, he confessed his leftover feelings for my sister.But today, in the morning, he apologized for his rudeness and also offered to join me on a mountaineering trip with the other tourists.I must say, he's a skilled hiker, he stayed behind me and took care of me on a height from where I begun shaking in fear but he distracted my mind from looking down and we made it on the top of the cliff."Back to the earth, Rain." His husky masculine voice snaps me out of my thoughts. I divert my gaze on him who has a beautiful smile playing on his thin coral lips."I am on the earth." I reply digging on my dessert."You were staring at the barista for last ten minutes. I guess either you're crushing on him or you were lost in your thoughts." He says with a cocky smile.I look down in embarrassment. It means, he caught me red handed. So, th
Five Years Later...I woke up by the wet kisses in the valley of my breasts and a hand slowly massaging my already sore pussy. I arched my back as pleasure rippled through my cells."Umm...Nick please." I moan my husband's name and the lips which are slopping on my belly travel upwards to claim my lips while he comes between my legs, his hardness poking on my inner which which is enough to send me to the edges all over again."Good morning, love." He whispers in a deep husky voice, his morning is handsome and sexy inviting me to claim him as mine."Good morning, husband. You didn't had enough last night?" I caress his cheeks."I can never have enough with you, Rain, you know this." He smiles and kisses my palms while positioning himself on my entrance."It's too late and Nolan might be up. He will throw tantrums if we don't go to him." I remind him about our one year old son, our lifeline, the fruit of our love."Well, he's my son and he knows that Daddy needs to be pampered first by M
[ Rain ]Nicholas's fuming face reflected what he witnessed and his sister's face has a horror expression. My own heart leaps in fear as well as uncertainty.I just hope he didn't listen to our conversation. I do not want him to get hurt by his closest bond, his sister whom he practically worships.He takes predatory steps towards us, his eyes glaring at his sister who looks everywhere except at her brother. She was caught red handed and there's no way to escape unless she gives him a good excuse."Why did you slap her?" He asks her in a very calm tone but both I and she can sense the raging anger behind the calmness."She was misbehaving with me, Nick. I swear, I did nothing. She brought up Michael and mine past. What could I do? She scratched my old wounds." She starts crying but the tears are fake.My heart sinks. He will definitely believe her over me so I stay silent preparing to hear from him but what he says next, stuns me."Stop pretending, Nicole because we both know that he
[ Rain ]The conversation I had with Maa keeps replaying in my mind. She and Dad knows everything since the start but kept Nicholas in dark for his own safety."Rain, you're scaring me now, please tell me what happened there? Did someone say mean things to you?" Nick's worried voice reaches in my ear and I feel his hand squeezing mine.I tilt my head in his direction and meet his concerned eyes."We can talk once we reach home?" I point at the driver and his bodyguard because right now, I can't trust anyone except myself and him."Sure." He nods his head but his expressions still shows puzzlement.The rest of the drive went in silence. I desperately want to reach home and tell him everything but it's not easy. He trusts his sister more than his parents. Our relationship has always been hanging on a loose cord and if I tell him what I learnt from Micheal and his parents, it may backfire on me and probably put the last nail on the coffin of our marriage.But I can't let Nicole play with
[ Nicholas ]I knock on my Dad's study door nervously and wait for him to open. I don't know how am I going to face him after what happened between us and how harsh I was with him. I practically cut him off from me and now I begin to regret it.He is my father and he has given me the best life. He was an ideal figure for me when I needed an inspiration. He never really forced me for anything except to continue the family legacy, our business."Come in." Comes his deep voice from the other side. He sounds depressed. I just hope it's only work.I slowly open the door and slip inside. I spot my father sitting behind his large oak desk reading a classic novel by Hardy and opera playing on the gramophone.Shit! He is tensed about something because he reads his favorite author and listen opera whenever something bothers him. He's too engrossed in his reading that he doesn't sense my presence."Dad..." His pupils dilate and he shot up his eyes to look at me. He looked shocked to find me in
[ Rain ]"Relax, Nick." I squeeze my husband's hand who is looking nervous as our car stops in front of his parents' house. He doesn't show it to me but I know him. If it wasn't for the emergency in the business, he wouldn't have come."I don't know what to say to him. It's been a really long time, Rain." He shares his dilemma with me which makes me smile. He's cracking up to me."He's your father, Nick who loves you very much. I am sure he'll forgive you if you apologize to him sincerely." I say.He tilts his head to glance at me,"Why should I apologize to him? I admit, I went a little aboard but he's at fault." He argues. He is still stuck there."Look, Nicholas. I know it's not easy for you to move on from the bitterness of the incident but you have to let this grudge go at some point. Life is too short to miss the love and companionship of our family and loved ones. Let's enjoy our time together because we don't know what the future holds for us. I want to live a happy life with y
[ Nicholas ]I stare at the sleeping figure of Rain cooconed under the duvet which covers her perfect breasts which are rising and falling with her breath. Her face glows in the early morning rays.I broke my promise to her last night and made sweet love to her. I couldn't forget the melodies moans she let out when I devoured her beauty. She's shy and bold, a perfect combination. I admire how mature and independent she has become in our months together.My hand automatically reaches to touch her face and remove the hair strands from her face which are blocking her face's view.Her eyes flutter open feeling my touch and a smile twitches on the corner of her lips."Good morning, Mrs. Blackwood." I brush my fingers on her cheeks."Good morning, Mr. Blackwood." She wishes me in her sweet morning voice."You look more beautiful in the morning." I inch closer to her and wrap my hand around her naked waist and make circles on her smooth skin.She places her soft palms on my bare chest. It is
[ Rain ]"Do you think, it's an enough proof to side Maa and Papa on our side because going directly to Nicholas wouldn't be a nice decision right now." I say to Roselie staring at the manila envelope in my hands."A try won't hurt either. They love you and I am sure they'll try to understand your point, besides they have to save their son's marriage rather than supporting their psycho daughter. Moreover, they owe you an apology for keeping you in the dark regarding the 'deal'." Roselie comments."Don't remind of that." I sigh."Sorry but it's true. They're nice to you but it doesn't mean their hands are clean. The least they can do for you to keep their daughter out of your personal life." She says."I will talk to them tomorrow. I am tired and I need rest from this life." I yawn and it's true. The day has been very hectic for me and I don't know what else we'd witness since Nicholas warned his house staff to tell him the name of the mole."You must seduce him so he can forget about
[ Rain ]"Rain, I am telling you, this isn't a good idea. Let's go back. Nicholas will kill both of us if he finds out that we're here to meet his sister's ex-boyfriend." Roselie begs me as I park the car outside the garage/auto parts store in the poorer part of the city where we can be mingled in the crowd without getting caught by the hawks called paparazzi."We came here for nothing?" I roll my eyes at her,"Come on, don't be a chicken, Rose. I learnt to be a brave person from you now you are backing out.""I am not backing out but this is a dangerous bet, Rain. They're rich people who would do anything to us if it comes to hide their old skeletons in the closet." She reasons and somewhere she's right."I know but we don't have much to loose, Roselie. Let's go inside before someone catch us. You should thank me that I haven't taken one of Nick's cars which have GPS tracker installed in them. I took Elle's husband's car to cover up." I tell her."Smart move, now let's get done with t
[ Rain ]"It's unbelievable, Roselie. No, it can't be true." I shake my head and stand up. My head started spinning with all the revelation so far."I know, I know, Rain. Initially I too believed that it was a misunderstanding until one night when I heard her conversation with her ex-boyfriend. It changed my whole narrative about her." She says which forces me to turn my face to her."Tell me the whole truth, Rose." I say firmly."First sit down. You need to calm down as it may hurt your innocent heart, Rain." She helps me to sit again."Don't worry about my heart, Rose. I have learnt from the time." I chuckle dryly."Good to know, Rain. I always wanted you to come from Dad and Rainard's shadow. Now when I look at you, I see a confident and strong woman who can decide for herself." She smiles and it looks genuine.Am I judging her so fast?"Nicole's boyfriend and Breece's father left them or I say betrayed her. I hope you know this story."I nod my head. Nicholas told me about her pas
