Billionaire's Dark Desire Chapter 18
ALVIRA’S POVOnce again, Clarissa falls asleep mid way into the movie. I let out a soft chuckle as I tidied up, listening to get soft snores. I quickly but quietly packed up the bowls of popcorn and arranged the sitting room while making sure I didn’t wake her up. She was a light sleeper and the slightest noise would wake her up. I busied myself with washing the dishes and cleaning up the mess we had left earlier on. Yep, Clarissa and I had a funny habit of leaving our kitchen mess up after we finished cooking or making a snack and would only go back to clean it up after we were done eating. I took out the trash and cleared out the cabinets, unconsciously cleaning up the whole kitchen and dining area. Deep down, I know it was all just a way to distract myself from the myriad of thoughts running through my head. ‘Rissa’s question kept ringing in my head and I struggled to find a suitable answer for it. To an extent, I knew I was comfortable with my relationship with Carter and the p
Billionaire's Dark Desire Chapter 19
ALVIRA’S POV“No,” I said a little too forcefully. I didn't want him to think that I was not interested in that.“Good," he said with another smirk. "Now, I would like to take my girlfriend out to a nice place to eat and chill for a while. Come on.” He said, guiding me to the passenger side of the car and guiding me in. As usual, he buckled me in and closed the door before walking around to his side behind the wheel. “Um, where are we going tonight?” I asked. “We are going to one of the finest restaurants in the city and perhaps, in the whole of the country, and I know this because it’s mine.” He said, a smirk on his face as he drove with one hand on the steering and the other on my lap. A few months ago, I would normally be avoiding me and keeping to myself all through. I would even have a panic attack whenever he got so close to me, not to talk of when he would touch me. I found myself getting comfortable enough around him to allow certain touches from him like this one. It was
Billionaire's Dark Desire Chapter 20
CARTER’S POVLife was good. Or at least, that is how it seemed to me. I was enjoying life with my girlfriend, and for once in a long time, I found myself looking forward to meeting her and just being around her. She was like an escape from the chaos that was my life. I found myself unconsciously looking over at the time until when I could go over to see her and just do mundane things like going for walks, playing on a swing, taking ice cream, watching the sunset and other random flimsy things that she would always come up with. I would never admit it to anyone else but I really enjoy our time together. I still can not categorically explain what it is that I feel for her but I know that I care about her more than my brain would dare to admit. She is there when I woke up, she stays with me while I go about my day, and she is there when I go back to bed. I do not know how we got to this stage but I found myself comparing every other lady I meet to her. I keep asking myself what was so
Billionaire's Dark Desire Chapter 21
CARTER’S POVFuck! This was so not the way I had hoped this night would end. I was too conflicted and in a lot of pain and anger as I sat across Alvira in a very uncomfortable silence. She had withdrawn from me, and I could see how she would rather be anywhere else than sitting across from me now, and the thought gnawed at me. I know right now that I am being a dickhead by openly flirting with the skanky ass dressed waitress in front of Alvira. I could see how my actions are breaking her and doing so much damage to her self esteem but I just can't help it. I am in a very sour mood from the meeting with my father and the sight of her is doing the opposite of what I expected it to do to me. I came over to see her in the hopes that seeing her would be able to calm me down. But it just constantly reminds me of how badly I need to prove myself to my father that I was not a complete failure.A part of me needed to prove to the scumbag that I could do this. That I was worthy of being a s
Billionaire's Dark Desire Chapter 22
CARTER’S POV I watched her squirm, the feeling both nauseating and satisfying. I knew that somewhere around, my father had someone watching us right now and I wanted, no need him to know that I was capable of being whatever I wanted to be. Alvira looked everywhere but at me. The sight was both a turn on and somewhat disturbing. I enjoyed the feeling of discomfort and admired how she tried to hide it and just get through with this dinner so she could go home. “Answer me, Alvira. Did the beautiful waitress make you feel small? Do you not feel pretty? Or just flat out make you feel completely invisible?” I asked. “N- no. She- she did not.” She whispered out, nervously rubbing the tip of her ears and looking around. Of course it was a lie. She would always do that whenever she was lying or uncomfortable about something. She would nervously weave her shaky hands through her hair, moving it haphazardly away from her ear and then rub at it while her eyes darted around. “Are y
Billionaire's Dark Desire Chapter 23
ALVIRA’S POVWhy do I have to have the worst fate when it comes to love? I thought to myself as I sobbed in the confines of my room. To think I was so stupid to think that Carter and I would ever amount to anything. That he would care for me to the point of according to me the decency of respecting me in public. I think back to the dinner we just had. It was surprising how he had gone from sweet and caring to me to being a total douchebag. Even going as far as openly flirting with that ugly looking stupid bastard lady of a waitress. Okay, I may have over exaggerated this. She was pretty, had nice toned legs that were not too thick or too thin, with perky breasts, from what I saw when she flashed them at Carter. Her face looked clear and she had a level of confidence when she walked. It was like she knew people were paying attention to her. I groaned, turning over on my bed, my eyes finding the little starry lights I had placed on the ceiling. I sighed once again. I guess I was not

ALVIRA’S POVLunch was delicious. ‘Rissa and I had taken turns making lunch and we had ended up on the couch with our food and drinks on the table. We were back to watching our reruns of Teen Wolf. These were the times I always looked forward to. We were three episodes in when she suddenly started talking. “You know,” she started, picking up the remote and pausing the movie while turning to face me. I also turned to face her. “You have not really told me how your date went last night.” She said, I looked down, my mood suddenly turning sour as my mind once again subconsciously went back to the night before. “You don’t have to blush. And yea, I know. I saw your note on the table before I went off to sleep in my room. I must say. I am kind of digging this new style, you know? Spontaneous night dates and hangouts. It’s like you guys are sneaking around to get the best of the night life without being scared of what might happen. I like that for you.” She rambled. I raised my head to
Billionaire's Dark Desire Chapter 25
ALVIRA’S POVI cried. I cried for myself. I cried because of my situation. I cried for my past. And I cried for my life at that moment. Why couldn’t I just get some peace and clarity in my life, you know? “It’s alright.” Clarissa cooed. After a few minutes of crying and Clarissa trying her best to console me, I sat up, detangling myself from her. I looked down at my hands that were fiddling with themselves on my laps. “Talk to me, what happened?” She asked once again. I took a deep breath and looked up at her. “We were supposed to go somewhere serene and just have some food and drinks and come back home, you know? We went over to one of his restaurants downtown and went up to the last floor just so we could be alone and just have our dinner. We were enjoying ourselves and just enjoying each other’s company on the drive there, but as soon as we got to the restaurant and on the elevator, it was like he had changed from the kind, loving and carefree person to the cold hearted, dista

ALVIRA’S POVIt has been a week since Carter’s visit and things have been looking up. Carter had kept his promise of making sure that he proves to me that he had changed and was worthy of a second chance with me. I woke up to a fresh bouquet of different kinds of flowers and a box of a different brand of chocolate every morning. Each of them had a handwritten note that made me swoon daily. Of course, I still felt a sliver of pain whenever I saw them. I knew they were sweet and that he was trying to make up for lost time but try as much as I could, I could not get past the pain I had felt. It was like his reentry opened the wounds that I had so desperately tried to close. Like ripping off a band aid and opening an injury that was already healing. The pain stung. However, I was determined to move past the pain and give myself a chance to heal and move on. Carter had also gone back to his old ways of texting whenever he had the chance. Sometimes, he would go further and send a pict

ALVIRA’S POV“Took you guys long enough” Clarissa called out as soon as I closed the door behind me. I jumped. “Jesus Christ, ‘Rissa! You scared the living daylight out of me.” I squealed in horror.“It is past eight, Alvira. There is no living daylight here.” she said, sarcasm dripping out of her voice. “Come on, ‘Rissa. Please. We do not have to go through this again. I just really need you to be here for me. Please.” I said, walking over to the couch and plopping down on it next to her. She looked away, her gaze focused on the television screen ahead of us. I held her hands in mine as tugged a bit, finally getting her to turn and look at me. She sighed. “Look, you know that I will always be there for you. No matter what happens. And you also know that no matter how hard the truth is, I will always say it and damn the consequences because that is the right thing to do at all times.” She said, “I know. The thing is, I really like Carter. I mean, you of all people know how much h
Billionaire's Dark Desire Chapter 37
ALVIRA’S POVWe walked back to the house, the moon now on full display in its crescent glory. The streetlights were switched on as we walked past the different paths that we had hiked on in time past. We walked in a comfortable silence, as opposed to the tension that hovered over us when we had first left the house. We had not completely or even remotely talked about what our future would hold but for now, we were making progress and that was all that mattered. Soon, we had gone past the park and down the lane to my apartment, the path buzzing to life with couples who were taking their evening stroll as well as students who were coming back from classes. We got to my door and I turned to find Carter already leaning down so that his face was mere inches from mine. I took a quick inhale of breath as my eyes widened. “I am sorry. I just really needed to get a taste of your lips before I went back home.” He said. “Oh! Okay. That is okay.” I said. In less than a second, I felt his li
Billionaire's Dark Desire Chapter 36
ALVIRA’S POVI looked up at him, his eyes sad and hopeful. I wanted to lunge at him and hold him so close and tell him yes. That I have forgiven him ever since I opened the door to him. I was going to forgive him a million and one times over and over if it meant that I would have him by my side for the rest of my life. However, I could not help but worry about what Clarissa would think of me if I so readily gave in and let him back in. The look of disappointment on her face alone was enough to have me rethinking my decision. Yes, he had hurt me so badly with his actions and I could not just let it go. As much as I was willing and ready to forgive him and let him back into my life, I knew that I was going to need time to truly forgive him and let go of the pain that he had caused me. For a good three long minutes, we sat in silence, my mind in an emotional turmoil as I struggled between my head and my heart while his eyes glistened with hope as he stared down at me.“Well?” He aske
Billionaire's Dark Desire Chapter 35
ALVIRA’S POVWe walked around a bit before we found a bench that overlooked the horizon. It was perfect with the perfect angle for us to watch the sunset. It was beautiful. I could see myself coming here often just to watch the sunset and most definitely have a cup of ice cream while at it. I made a mental note to bring Clarissa here once in a while. We sat and watched the sun slowly set as we licked our ice cream. Suddenly, the awkwardness that we felt during the elevator ride was back and for a while we just kept silent, each of us lost in our thoughts as the sounds in the background faded. It was there but it felt like we were each in another world of our own. Or so I thought. Soon, I was tired of silence, I could no longer sit still like everything was okay. “What are you doing here?” I asked, making him turn to look at me, surprisingly surprised that I was the one who broke the silence. Or maybe it was because of the question, I could not say. “What do you mean?” He asked. “
Billionaire's Dark Desire Chapter 34
ALVIRA’S POV“Don’t keep me waiting, sweets…..” God! He is so dreamy.I quickly spun on my feet, rather clumsily, and walked back to the living room where Clarissa sat, her face set in a very pissed off look. I gulped slowly as I approached her. I knew she was not going to approve of my decision to take a walk with Carter and hear him out. “Hey, so um, Carter and I are going to take a walk.” I said in a smile. However, Clarissa refused to say anything, prefering to stare at the tv, mindlessly scrolling through the channels. I felt the sting of her silence as a know formed in my throat. I walked closer to her again and decided to try again. “‘Rissa? C-Carter wants us to t- talk about what happened so, um, we, um, we will be going for a small walk. W- will you be okay to wait for me for a while before I get back? Please?”Once again, silence. “Come on, ‘Rissa, please say something.” I said, pleading with her. I could not risk her being angry with me. I just want to hear what he has
Billionaire's Dark Desire Chapter 33
CARTER’S POVShe is so beautiful today. Same as she was yesterday and the day before that and before that and all the way since the very first day I set my eyes on her. I could see the confusion in her eyes. Hell, I was confused as well.My mind drifted back to the night before. I had been at the office for a couple hours after the close of work going through the countless paperwork that had needed my attention and signature. And just as my unfortunate luck would have it, the last person I wanted to see walked into the office. “Hello, Carter.” His voice sounded like a teacher’s nails grating the school chalkboard. It was truly aggravating. “I am busy, Father.” I replied, not even bothering to look up to acknowledge him. “Oh! I can see that. However, I will only be just a minute. Won’t take up much of your time.” He said, walking off, as usual to the minibar across the room, and helping himself to what I could swear was bourbon. Of course he would go for the most expensive bottle t
Billionaire's Dark Desire Chapter 32
ALVIRA’S POV“Hello, my sweet. Did you miss me?” His clear baritone cut through the tension in the air.“C- Carter?” I asked in disbelief. I was sure that my eyes were wide with shock. I had not been expecting to see him, especially not when Clarissa and I were just talking about him.“Were you expecting someone else hmm?” He asked me as he filled the entire door frame, leaning in closer to me and resting an arm on the door frame in a way that allowed him to look down at me. I was dumbfounded. I was confused. How was he here? What was he doing here? Why was he here? Where had he been all this while? I must have been standing there for a while obviously staring at him because I suddenly heard Clarissa’s voice coming from behind me. “Babe, who is that at the door? Is that the delivery package that I-“ her voice died down as she looked over, her eyes meeting with Carter's dark pair. He in turn was just there looking as smug as ever as he was casually leaning on the door frame. He was
Billionaire's Dark Desire chapter 31
ALVIRA’S POVWell, recently, my previously boring life has been going rather smoothly, or as smoothly as it could go. It had received more spice since Carter came into it. So far, Clarissa and I have found many other ways to cheer me up and get me to stop thinking of the name that will not be mentioned. It has been ten days since Carter and I had had our last disastrous meeting that had left me so sad that I would still wake in the night thinking of that monstrous thing and later cry myself to sleep every night. What did I ever do to have to go through all these with him? Was all this just a game to him? Did he ever mean the words he said to me? Why did he have to make me question everything I ever believed in? How could he do this and subject me to such emotional turmoil?I sat on my makeshift desk and looked into the screen of my laptop. We were having another class and I was struggling to try to make sense of why Carter just had to make me feel so less of a human being. He
