Theodore gave a small smile.

"Well I guess I better go out… since the zipper is like.."

He stopped talking.

I nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah."

I attempted a smile and said, "Thanks again with the zipper."

My stomach was experiencing that strange sensation once more, but I made a conscious effort to resist it.

Theodore wanted to leave, but he was standing in front of me and wasn't trying..

Don't make this weird and difficult Theodore.

When I snickered, "So when are you going to leave," it seemed as though his senses had suddenly opened up because he smiled apologetic before leaving the room.

I closed the door while controlling my breathing by holding my chest.

Okay, so why do I feign sex so easily around these guys?

It was Hardy at first, and now it's his freaking bodyguard.

I am aware that many pregnant women experience a surge in libido during the first and second trimesters, but if this is the case, then it should pass quickly and not be causing me any anxiety at all.

    I felt this surge of arousal kick in as my legs circled around Theodore's waist the moment he lifted up. My goodness, I have never felt this aroused before. He moved closer to the bed and gently took a seat with me still on his body, but now straddling him. Our lips were still locked and we were never planning to let go, we were both out of breath but we were never stopping. This is bad. So bad, I was doing this with Theodore knowing it would become so awkward for us later in the future, if my future happens to be me still alive, but still it was bad and I needed to stop. Well my head was saying stop but my body wasn't listening. There was no way I could fight such sensual tension my body was oozing, and the way Theodore reciprocated without feeling weird. He was about to have sex with his Master's hostage, but he didn't care. Has he been wanting to have sex with me for a long time then? His hand moved from my back then down to my waist. We finally let ourselves breathe and

    I arrived at Hardy's villa, exhausted. And of course, I was given that same pill that made me drowsy and then made me sleep during the entire jet ride. And despite the drugs and getting enough sleep on my way back, I was still extremely sleepy when I got back to the villa, and immediately after dinner I fell asleep again.. I woke up during nighttime, my room almost dark, and only lit up dimly thanks to the small amber colored light above my mirror table. My heart skipped a beat when I noticed someone's silhouette seated at the edge of my bed. A male's silhouette to be precise. I got on my feet, ready to go turn on the lights, but Hardy's voice stopped me right on my tracks. "Don't bother." He had said and I found myself moving back towards my bed and sitting down again, pulling the thick blanket over my body. What does he want? Why is he here? I remained silent and gazed at the only light in the room, whatever he had to say, I don't think I would like it, because he actuall

    After having to think so much that day, I found myself awake staring at the quietness of my room after dinner, tomorrow I would be moving and then trying to fit in a life I don't belong, meeting people, I should not know and trying to get close to a woman and her husband. How classic. I don't know what Hardy's trying to play at, but I needed to have a say in whatever he had to. It was frightening to confront him but I had to. I walked out of my room only to be stopped by two new bodyguard that has been guiding my door ever since I returned. I sighed. I was definitely not trying to escape. "I need to speak with Hardy," I said to them. I don't even know where Hardy room was, in such big villa, even if they let me go, I might just wander around and get lost. The guards both shared a look before one of them walked away. I guess they wanted to pass the message. I stood in my red night dress with the other guard, waiting patiently, collecting everything I needed to say to Hardy,

    The next morning I was woken up thanks to the small tap from Trinity. "Rise and shine," She mumbled under her breath. I opened my eyes to see my room almost empty, I turned my head sideways like a lost duck until it hit me that I was actually moving from Hardy's villa and well, maybe to a new place of his. "Ready for the ride of your life,?" Trinity seemed happy, taking down the curtains around my bed. "Not really," I said, wanting to go back asleep. "Come on, don't sleep, everyone's waiting for you, your luggage has been set, the jet is here…" And just as Trinity said those words, my door burst open and the maids who always dressed me walked in. In few minutes I was stripped naked, and was getting scrubbed in the bathtub. I was now so used to getting bathed and dressed by maids that I think I would make an actual mess if I tried to bath or dress myself. It was a bit alarming. Dressed in a blue silky dress that glistened under the lights, my hair was tied in a neat bun, befor

    Shit. I cussed under my breath. Since when did Hardy open the door and how long has he been standing there? Did he actually see how Theodore and I kissed without actually saying anything? But the most eerie question I would like to keep asking is, how the hell did Theodore open the fuckin door without me or Theodore knowing. Hardy just kept getting creepier. I turned to Theodore to see if he had the same freaked out look as me, but was surprised to see him throwing Hardy a questionable look. His brows arched like, what-do-you-want? "I need to speak with Joanne, personally and privately," Hardy stepped inside the room. Theodore looked a bit mad, but didn't try to show so much. "Sure" He sighed, getting on his feet. Throwing me a small smile, Theodore exited the room, closing the door, leaving me with his not looking happy boss. I swallowed. I don't know what I looked like, but I was sure my face was as red as ever, because I had been heating up on the inside since the ki

    Rich people love gatherings so much and now I understand it’s just their way of showing off. Because this was seriously for some kind of statue that was built at the center of some town and this gathering was to raise a toast over it and the people that contributed to it.You have got to be kidding me. I leaned in closer to Hardy as we walked further into the room, getting stares from a lot of other couples. I mean the key is to act like we’re in love.We were immediately approached by two butlers who offered us tiny shots, but Hardy and I declined.I can’t take alcohol with the baby in me and Hardy for some reason doesn’t want to drink. “Oh my gosh… you made it” I heard a familiar voice behind us and just as I was about to turn around to see who it was. Aneesa hugged me. A tight one that caused me to let go of Hardy. Great.“Hi Aneesa” I called gently, patting her back.“I had no idea you’d be here too,” I added. Acting like we’re friends.I mean, she started it.The best

    Hardy’s Pov-I was standing by my wine cellar staring out the Window from my room. Trying to keep my head together after Joanne’s outbursts minutes earlier when Theo walked in.“Got the car where you want it” He said. I nodded.“Okay.. I’ll be out in th-“Are you mad?” I interrupted him.“What?” Theo sounded confused.I took a sip from the glass of wine in my hand and breathed out a sigh.“Mad about what?” He added. I scoffed. “Don’t play clueless Theo . I know you’re mad about earlier and how I want you to stay away from Joanne” “If that’s what you want me to do then it’s something I should do and nothing to be mad about” I couldn’t see him but I could tell he had pulled his annoying calm shrug.“Okay drop the bullshit” I turned to him.“Do you actually like her do you really want her?” Theo raked his hand through his hair and looked away.“I don’t know…” He sighed.I nodded“That pretty much answered my question”He clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing with her.“Well you can l

    Joanne*“Let’s see then. If I would really shudder in my pants If you strip naked in front of me… right here right now… let’s see who the real garbage is” The moment hardy breathed those words, my mind moved into a tilt. He does not mean that.He low-key just ignored every rant and chose to bring those words out of all I had just said?He keeps giving more reasons to hate more than his guts.Can’t believe I was actually worried about what I said earlier might have hurt him.How Pathetic.“You’re unbelievable” I got on my feet.Looking at Hardy you could see how unalive his eyes looked. Clearly I could already tell no woman would be able to make him shudder in his pants like I have said earlier. It’s looked like it’s been ages since he got excited about anything.Ugh why did I even rant so much.“Fine” I didn’t know where it came from but I agreed.I mean… I’ve got nothing to lose, and not to blame it on my pregnancy hormones. Maybe because I wanted to, and looking back on Trinity’s

The detective stepped out of the interrogation room and asked if we grabbed anything.Joanne had to explain her first to her last meeting with this Ophelia girl which caused everyone to be in total dismay.“Wait a second, so she warned you about the ladies when she was the mastermind behind all these?” Detective Alex asked.“Yeah” Joanne nodded, looking frightened.“But she works for Anne—“Anne shaw? Age 26. Married to Asher Black?” Alex interrupted.“Yeah” Joanne nodded.“Well she and the other ladies are asleep now, they drank so much they all passed out. But don’t worry, the moment they’re awake they’ll be interrogated.” Alex said to be assuring but Joanne didn’t bulge.So he continued to put her mind at ease.“Ophelia is being tracked.

I tried to breathe out a yielding sigh only to realize my mouth has been shut with a rough cloth.I let out a muffle scream and tried to seat up.My hands were tied in front of me but thankfully my legs were free.I scuttled before sitting up and realizing I was in a black van.I let out muffled screams that didn’t even stretch at any distant The driver driving the van slightly turned to me and nodded.“You’re awake.“Who the fuck are you” my scream came out muffled but he understood me well and replied me quietly.“Go back to sleep.” I kicked his chair and he scoffed.“A fierce one aren’t we?” I wanted to scream but I couldn’t, instead I started to cry.My eyes started to blink rapidly when I saw the thick ropes sitting beside me.No!History was indeed repeating itself.“Where are you taking me!” My scream loosened the cloth around my mouth a bit and the man driving sighed.“Just shut the fuc

    -JOANNE—I was gasping for breath as Anne’s grip tightened around my neck, suffocating me. She was a tornado, twisting me around and smashing me into the table like a ragdoll. Adrenaline kicked in, and I fought back with everything I had. My fingers clawed at her hair and pushed against her slim frame, trying to gain any kind of advantage. But her strength was superhuman, and her nails dug into my neck like talons.I had to think fast.Desperation set in. I lunged at her shirt, gripping it tightly as if my life depended on it—and it did. I pulled hard, forcing her slender form to stumble forward. It was a desperate gamble, a Hail Mary pass to even the odds. I might’ve been down, but I wasn’t out. Not yet. My heart was racing, my muscles screaming, but I wasn’t about to let Anne win. I wasn’t about to let her take everything from me.I finally got the upper hand at things, and as I tried to hit her, Ruby came in full charge at me, pushing me to hit my head on the brick wall and causi

    -JOANNE— Two days before my celebratory party. Theodore and I are seated with Hardy in one of the mansion’s empty rooms, talking about the twentieth.For some reasons. I felt enlightenment.Because Hardy was always fond of disdaining me whenever it came to sharing his plans. He would only let Theodore in on it, but tonight he was making me part of it.And it made sense because I was aware of it all.We were trying to fix the crazy puzzle together and rearrange ours. Trinity had walked in and out of the room every now and then, getting us water and all sorts of food.We’ve spent a good six hours in the room trying to come up with different alternatives and routes to take if plans A or B don’t align and manage to collide.We’ve managed to come to the conclusion that Lisa’s killer could be anyone. But the source we needed to pick from was from the White Ale-o house. Hardy looked unfazed, mentioning Lisa’s name a few times, and I tried to fight the urge to scream the truth out lou

    -JOANNE -The present > As the revelations from Trinity poured forth, I found my jaw plummeting in stunned disbelief. My mind, once nimble and quick, now labored to organize this flood of disorienting information. Trinity's words had transformed what I thought I knew about Lisa and Hardy into a harrowing tale of deceit, confusion, and unrequited love, leaving my comprehension reeling.I was trying so hard to stay composed.It wasn’t just the fact that Trinity and Lisa had something going on. Well it was part of it. But it was mainly the fact that the woman Hardy was pulling all lengths for, pulling down seas and mountains for. Restraining every one that breathed out her name, the same woman that he had clearly offered his entire life to never loved him.It was shocking.Deeply.She only married Hardy to live a stable life?The fact that Hardy was clueless was alarming.
