Carla Rodriguez Black.Time: 08:05 am.Location: New York's City Hall, between Broadway and Park Row, Manhattan.A wedding day for any woman was supposed to be the happiest but today felt like I was going into yet another hell hole after the experience I had with Richard.What if Ethan Black doesn't pay me?What if he cheats on me as Richard did?What if his family I know nothing about cursed me for marrying their beloved son without notice?What happens when they find out I was once a divorcee?All these questions ran in my mind as I second-guessed my hasty decision to get married again."You look beautiful dear." Alice pushed back tiny bits of loose hair strings that kept misbehaving even though I had spent over an hour just fixing my unresponsive hair. My armpits, sweating profusely."Are you sure" I stammered while pacing back and forth at the huge wooden double doors to the private room Ethan had hired for the private service we were holding.Wealthy people with their endless sol

Carla Rodriguez Black.Time: 11:45 am.Location: Nearing Black's Effie Tower at Ethan's residence.I'm officially Mrs. Black now! Who thought I would nab New York's most eligible bachelor?I exhaled slowly whilst looking at the tall buildings of Manhattan.Why did he pick me over his long-time girlfriend?The awkward silent drive to Ethan's penthouse pushed me to recall Crystal's bleak face from one of the top tabloid magazines I had once read about her extravagant lash lifestyle with Ethan… and they looked so damn good together if you asked me.I wondered why he did not marry her instead.I darted at Ethan in the corner of my eye and could see him lost in thought. Could it be he was still in love with her?I swallowed hard while my heart thumped wildly.Carla, get your shit together. This marriage is contractual, remember that.I sneered silently with pouted lips and then the driver came to a stop at Ethan's penthouse building... New home at last.I sighed silently."I have urgent m

Ethan Black.Time: 11:59 am.Location: Black Business Eiffel Tower.Finally, I had fulfilled Dad's last wish by tying the knot even though it was not out of love, hence now it was time to save the company and not for honeymooning like Mother and Carla insisted.Carla was no doubt breathtakingly beautiful today but I was done with anything with a pussy in-between its legs because all women are just cheating glutton swine who don't deserve love, especially if it was coming from me.Still in my wedding suit, I sat stiffly in my chair at the head of the long, polished mahogany table in the boardroom. My mother, Sylvia, sat to my left, her expression set in a mask of stoicism. To my right sat the two shareholders, Miller and Gracia, both looking equally tense.We were all waiting for the attorney to arrive, the man who would finally activate my father's shares in the Black Industry, and then I will be the sole boss of the empire. The silent tension in the room was palpable as if the very a

Ethan Black.Time: 7:58 pm.Location: penthouse nestled atop central park Tower Manhattan.I sat quietly in my penthouse corner bar, gazing out the window at the twinkling lights of the city below. I took a sip of my whiskey, savoring the smoky flavor as it warmed my throat and I cringed my face slightly at the bitter taste. It had been a long stressful day at the office after Mother left, and I was grateful for the peace and quiet of my private sanctuary.But as I looked around the dimly lit room, I realized that something was off. It was too quiet. Didn't I have a new bride somewhere around here??? I needed to put my new devious scheme into action of siring an heir to the Black industry.I furrowed my brows in concern. Where could she be? I turned to Victoria, who was tidying up the bar. "Victoria, have you seen my wife?"Victoria looked up from her work, a frown creasing on her forehead. "No, Mr. Black, I haven't seen her since she left as soon as she arrived."My frown deepened

Carla Rodriguez Black. Time: 06:04 am Location: penthouse.The night was prolonged and I had spent most of it twisting and turning in my huge bed wondering why Ethan was so disrespectful to a mere friend of mine.Could it be that he was jealous or what?I stared at the chandelier while I mulled deeply about the new strange possessive behavior he displayed last night.Why was he in such a nasty mood? Could it be that he did not take full charge of the company?But he said I should not bother him about his whereabouts and he will reciprocate the gesture towards me. But what changed? I cupped my lips together while the noisy streets of Manhattan made it even harder to fall asleep. I peeked at the wall clock in my room, and the time was not moving faster than I wanted it.Fuck this, let me go find out why he treated me like that. I rumbled out of the king king-size and strolled straight for his room, forgetting that I only unraveled a sexy yellow lacey spaghetti strap short nightie Etha

Carla Rodriguez Black.Time: 5:47 pm.Location: unknown.As the car began to slow down, I could feel my body being gently pushed forward by the seat belt, and once the car came to a complete stop, I forced my eyes open and was immediately struck by the stunning sight in front of me, my jaw dropping slightly, because of a quaint cottage nestled among the trees. "Where are we?" I asked Ethan because the sun had already set and the ten-hour trip took a toll on me, leaving me exhausted and in need of a good rest."We are in Alexandra Bay." Ethan turned off the car engine with a splitting grin across his face even though his eyes were growing heavier."Wow, and we are spending the weekend here?" I gawked at the marvelous sight before me."Whose place is this?" I furrowed my brows slightly with one raised."It's mine." Ethan beamed and got out of the car.Of course, you own it too. I sneered silently while getting out of the car to get a better view of the place.The cottage was made of crea

Carla Rodriguez BlackFifty-five minutes later…I want you to imagine this for a moment, two grown adults of the opposite sex taking a shower alone in a private room without any sexual tension between the two of them…weird right?Well, that's exactly what happened when Ethan practically ordered me to take a bath with him…All that Ethan did was watch me as I bathed then he took his five-minute shower and was outMaybe he had a weird fetish about showering with strangers.What other odd things have you kept hidden from the public eye?I nervously fiddled with my fork, trying to keep my hands steady as I stared across the table where Ethan sat with his straight, smoldering sexy face, doing what he loved most, staring at his expensive phone… as if he was the only one with an occupied lifestyle.I scoffed While my head spun like everything around me."Why are you ever on your phone Mr bossy pants." I stuttered in slurred speech and he frowned at me."Did you just call me bossy pants?" He

Carla Rodriguez Black.The next morning,I was jolted awake by the throbbing pain in my head, feeling as though my head was being hammered from the inside. I groaned and rubbed my temples, trying to remember what happened the night before. Much to my bewilderment, my memory was hazy, and there were large blank spaces, blocking the events from my mind... I'm dressed in my PJs and wondered if Ethan took it upon himself to change my clothing.I peeked at Ethan's side of the bed and he was not there. It looked like he slept next to me, as the bedsheets were clustered but was not there. I squinted my eyes at one of those expensive silver-dial desk clocks, and it was past six in the morning.But where could Ethan have gone this early?Suddenly the sickening smell of the wine I drank last night hung heavily in the air, making me queasy. I gagged a little in my mouth before running straight to the bathroom and throwing up in the sink. I will never drink red wine again. I rinsed my mouth with

Ethan Black.An hour later,My heart pounded as I stormed into my luxurious penthouse, the heavy doors to the elevator closing behind me. I needed to find Carla and finally disclose the truth that I had been hiding from her for far too long and this was all thanks to the sudden interest from Crystal's attempt to seduce me, had it urged me to reveal the sinister web that I had entangled her in."Carla!" I called out, my voice echoing through the expansive hallway. But instead of her familiar face, I was met with the warm smile of Victoria."Mr. Black, you're back," Victoria greeted me, surprise evident in her eyes. "Mrs. Black is in your office, finishing up with her online class.""Okay, thanks," I answered back, my anxiety heightened as I rushed towards my office, my mind racing with the weight of my secret.

Ethan Black,A few days later,Location: Black industries.I sat at my desk, engrossed in the countless reports scattered all around me. The luxurious office, adorned with tasteful artwork and polished furniture, seemed to fade away as I delved deeper into the number of reports I had to go through because of my leave of absence from the company. I was slowly fitting back in my seat of becoming the undisputed CEO of Blacks Industries, a successful billionaire drowning in responsibilities, that's who I was.Everything else had to come second in my life.As the late afternoon sun peered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm glow over the room, my mind wrestled with the never-ending demands of the corporate world.

Carla Rodriguez Black,A few weeks after the operation…As I diligently tended to Ethan's surgical incision in our opulent penthouse, the tranquility of the moment was shattered by a sudden wave of nausea crashing over me. I got up from the chair I sat in and staggered backward, my hand instinctively cradling my stomach, feeling lightheadedness washing over me like a tidal wave. Panic started to rise within me. Something was not right."Baby, are you okay?" Ethan asked."Ethan," I managed to utter, my voice trembling, "Something's wrong. I don't feel well."Ethan's worried eyes immediately filled with concern as he swiftly rose from the couch, rushing to my side. "Carla, what happened? Should I call the doctor?" He put his palm on my forehead as if he wanted to take my temperature.Nodding weakly, I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to steady myself. "Yes, please. I don't know what's happening to me but my body suddenly feels drained of energy.""Maybe it's because of the blood you

I had been away on a business trip, and while I longed to see my fiancé Karen again, there was an unease gnawing at my gut. As I walked through the front door, the familiar sounds of laughter reached my ears, followed by a soft whisper that sent chills down my spine."Your kisses are tickling my neck, stop it," Karen's voice floated towards me from the living room, I immediately knew she had company.But who could be possibly tickling her with kisses?I quickened my pace, eager to reunite with her after days of separation.

Carla Rodriguez Black,The next afternoon at the hospital…The sterile scent of antiseptic filled the air, suffocating my senses as I stood outside the forbidding double doors of the operating room. My heart pounded wildly, trapped within the confines of my chest, while my mind raced with fear and anxiety. The fate of my beloved husband, Ethan, hung in the balance, teetering between life and death, on the precipice of a monumental decision."Good morning Carla," Sylvia stormed into the private waiting room I was waiting for Ethan… her normal elegant demeanor vanished. "Has the operation started already?" She asked with a pale face."Yes," I murmured."Oh dear, the New York traffic was hell, that's why I'm late." She said."It's okay, Ethan told me to tell you that he loves you and can't wait to see you after the operation." I delivered Ethan's last words to his mother and she whimpered."My poor boy." She flickered her eyes rapidly as she avoided dropping a tear."He will be fine" I r

Carla Rodriguez Black,"Ethan, she is asking about your health and not the mess we have created," I whispered to him, and for a moment he seemed dumbfounded by the chaos that lay in front of him.Then his face lit up like what I said made sense to him. " Oh, shit" he clasped his exposed buttocks with crimson cheeks. "Mother, I strictly told the doctor not to worry you with my business because I have already scheduled an operation for this week…" he spoke calmly and Sylvia raised her perfectly drawn eyebrow."Umh." She murmured with a stern poise." Besides it's the job of my wife to worry about me now and not you." He responded firmly and I gasped with shock.So he does want me to worry about his welfare…. I sneered silently while glaring at him.Mrs. Black frowned briefly but regained her composure, "I see," she replied, her voice icy. "I suppose I should've called before coming over.

My contractual marriage had turned out to be a blessing in disguise after all.A chilly breeze embraced my skin as I only wore Ethan's shirt after the sexcapade we had again, but I was too delighted to feel the cold breeze clung to my skin.
