Notice: Dear readers the system has a glitch and missing Chapters will appear on Monday working hours. I apologize for the error.Olive's POV~Touching my head, I looked up at him. He turned the light on, and I shut my eyes."Ouch!""Did you lock the door? I used my keys to get in!""Sorry, but I was unstable.""I don't remember if I did it! Nightmares didn't let go of me."He stared at me intently. I gulped, fearing that he would kill my father even for an illusion. He could accuse me."I have an arrangement for us!""What?" I stammered.I guessed he kept another surprise in his sleeves to torment me."From now onwards, you'll stay with me here in my chamber."I gazed at him with wide eyes, my cheeks blushed again."What is that face? Ordinary couples sleep together, aren't we included?"I nodded calmly.We were ordinary couples now?! Did he come up with another plan to embarr*ss me again?He approached with a food cart and gave me a gl*ss of orange juice.Taking a sip, I felt better
Edward's POV~Either time I came to the graveyard to visit my late mother, the throb in my heart escalated. I wasn't a good son. A good son would have protected her.I put the Lilly flower banquet down on the cold stone.Sitting and putting my hands in my pockets, I smiled to suppress my distress."Another year p*ssed, Mom! But this time, something happened. I got married to a gorgeous girl. Forgive me for not coming earlier. Perhaps one day I will come here with her. Her name is Olive. At first, I was certain of what I was going to do with her but now I'm unsure of it. I'm a cruel man, Mom!"Taking a breath, I looked up at the cloudy sky."Mother, I feel that she has done something to my heart. I need you to help me."That was true! I wanted my mom to help me. John was one step ahead the moment I decided to marry Elenore. It alerted me to be wary.He would never refrain from filthy actions to bring me down. And he wouldn't be satisfied only with that, he would make sure I die."John
Olive's POV~His fingers stroke my shoulders. His touch was as if a cold breeze. I felt a daze when his kiss ran deeper and his hands explored my body. Our tongues interlaced and played together.I gave in to his aura! To whatever the fu*k he was doing to me.Our fingers intertwined. I closed my eyes when he kneaded my breasts. My breath hitched and an unwanted moan left my mouth.His tongue touched every part of my mouth smoothly. So I found the courage to help him take his shirt off but suddenly he pulled back."You are not resisting!"He murmured.I rubbed my eyes off shamelessly but he seized my mouth and kissed me harder.My blood was scorching, I could feel that I was getting wet. I didn't even know how interested I was to be with him.His oppression left no place to mention, and his cruelty landed upon me countless times. He enjoyed my pain, I know all of this, and yet, I demonstrated renunciation.But also, I was aware that he didn't want to be like this, a devil! The way he l
Jonathan's POV~Elenore had undergone cosmetic surgeries when she was younger. I could now grasp her point. She wanted to be similar to Olive.Her stepsister was naturally exquisite, and she thought her beauty could seduce me.I couldn't deny that it did, indeed. Since the night I encountered her, it was hard not to think about her. And pity, I gave her to my devil brother, that lucky monster.Elenore was stunning but she was clingy and pressed herself into my life. I couldn't remember how she crept into my bed.Sitting on my swivel chair, I opened the file laid on my table when I received a message from my jerk brother.I opened it to see what he would come up with when I menaced him and touched his woman, apparently!But…The blood froze in my brain. Edward had discovered the conspiracy.Did she tell him the truth? She did."fu*k!"Fury possessed my nerves and crept into my heart. I stood up and punched the table.Elenore emphasized that her step-sister would never reveal this secre
Olive's POV~Opening my eyes, it took a little time to get rid of the trance in my head when I felt his arm wrapped around my n*ked breasts, holding me tight as though I was about to run away.My face was burning, and I lost my boldness to move. We were n*ked, and he hugged me! I could recall how shamelessly I gave in to him and liked his lewdness.What we did last night, oh, all of it screened in my head! Last night was a real s*x experience with my consent but countless times I begged him to stop in my mind, however, I dared not to defy him and bring the words into my mouth.I wanted him to believe that I had no *ssociation with Johnathan, and accepted him as my husband. Perhaps I was a substitute bride yet this marriage was real to me. However, I was afraid of him.I felt the sore throbbing throughout my body.He was so strong and his strength scared me so much. His length was significantly big, and it amazed me how people spread bullsh*t about him, scoffing that he was a cripple w
My dears Chapter 29 was published yesterday but again the system's glitch caught it up, please be patient till Monday. Here is Chapter 30.Olive's POV~"Mira, is my wife in that room?"I heard Edward behind the door. His grandfather separated us and demanded we get ready in different rooms. However, it seems, he sent his wish to deaf ears.We were brought to a five-star hotel where his grandfather's birthday was being held. Mr. Johnson owned this cl*ssic Castle hotel where only particular people could book the rooms.The moment we entered, I felt like we just came to pay a visit to an art and history museum. The architecture of the building was extraordinary.I fixed my hair and looked at the door frame. Mira must come and help me with my dress!A moment later, I saw Edward who scrambled inside. His walking stick clicked on the floor.He stared at me for a while before reaching his arm out and pulling me to him.He kissed my lips p*ssionately. I felt so good when he treated me like th
Edward's POV~"She'll be taking the headlines. Take pictures.""They look majestic!""I'm not lying but Edward's prestige shows his taste.""Where did she come from? They haven't introduced her! His marriage was held secretly."Photographers and reporters turned around to meet us.It was their hobby to mock me when I was around. I got used to their sarcasm and it was childish to retort.They couldn't peel their eyes off her, and it pricked me. Olive wasn't officially my wife and truly Elenore Levine was my actual wife. But not even for a single moment, I regretted that."Eyes on me, wife!"I warned her when I caught her glance at Jonathan and the woman beside him."She will jump at me.""What's the point? Should we care?"We got down the stairs and rage invaded my whole body, I could punch John for staring at my wife like that. He was a man who couldn't restrain his d*ck taut while encountering a pretty woman.His voice was still in my mind when he said, "She is mine, I'll take her."
Olive's POV~My father never had a sinister belief in harming me so after struggling with myself, I accepted the gift."Alright! I'll give it to him in our next family meeting."Grabbing the gift from him, I tried not to show my dismay. But it was already obvious."I know you are worried that might cause me trouble, but I can't let Melissa decide for me.""I didn't say anything.""You don't need to. I can read it from your face."I bit my lip in embarr*ssment. It annoyed me to see him desperate."I must apologize to him too. He has been treating me as well as his daughter.""Your personality is outstanding, my love. I'm sure you met the old man's standards."We got back inside. I gave his coat back and strode to Edward who was standing with a few people and separated from them when he found me there.When I got to him whispers reached my ears. I thought they must be prestigious people and celebrate the night that Mr. Johnson lived this long and achieved success. He gave them all the o
Olive~The next day, I woke up early and took a shower with Edward. When he was drying my hair with the towel, I grabbed his hand and asked him to sit down."What do you think, should I go and see her?"He shrugged, "If you ask my opinion, they were cruel to you."He paused and kissed my knuckles, "But if you don't see her now, it remains your biggest regret. You'll be thinking about it constantly."I nodded, "Would you come with me?""Of course, you are not in a situation to be alone."I cupped his face and kissed him as hard as I could. As we parted, he smiled, "Then we should get ready now. Give me that *ssh*le's number. I'll call him."I laughed! Was he talking about Arvin? He wasn't a bad person, poor guy.Giving him the phone number, I got dressed and we were ready to leave when Mira caught us in the living room."What about your breakfast?"Mira asked us."We will eat outside!"Ed replied and we got out. An hour later, we met Arvin in front of the hospital."She had a bad night
Kit~I took the last sip of my drink and tapped on Tobin's shoulder."Party is over for us. Time to give some lessons to John!"I peeked at John who was talking to a few of his friends. He was entirely distracted when I approached Elenore.Near her ear, I whispered, "Let's talk in the parking lot!""What for?"I winked at her, "Speaking my heart to you!"I gave her a seductive grin, one of those I rarely offered someone with. She was unnerving and troublesome. As Ed indicated, we could not let her off this easily.I rushed to the parking lot of the hotel. The engagement party was growing hotter and no one paid attention to our absence.Everyone's attention was on the music group we invited.As I expected, my trick toiled on her. It wasn't a surprise. She liked powerful men and it didn't cost me much to lure her.I walked out of the dark, leaning on my car.She smiled and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear."Well, what is the word of your heart?"Tobin appeared behind her, shak
Edward~It took me two days to come back to a stable condition. During that time, Olive didn't leave my side. I was elated she had become more cautious.She didn't leave my side at all and was supposed to read books and take good care of me. Seeing this side of her made me even more fall over my heels for her.I couldn't wait for the day I could walk again. But there was something that bothered me a lot.I was not sure whether to ask her or not. I was terrified to say something she didn't like and anger her. Losing her could not take any place in my dish.I was tired of losing people and being disappointed.However, I took the bitter pill and swallowed it, asking her about the reason why she freaked out and left me."Olive, stop m*ssaging my legs, they are much better now.""You were groaning in pain last night. I must keep doing these till you become able to walk and sleep better.""Then just give me your ears."She nodded. She looked even more stunning than before."I'm all ears, do
Olive~The next day, I couldn't sit by and ignore what was going on in the ICU. Layla hadn't come to visit me since this morning, and I refused to eat unless they let me see how Edward's condition was.It was around noon when Layla came inside and scowled at me."Have you not eaten?"I shook my head."I lost my relish. They do not let me see him.""You can't go inside the room. His lungs have been infected and you are not still in a perfect condition. We must take care of him.""Have you moved here because of us?"She bobbed her head, "Half of the day here and the other half in the central hospital. I'm an exception but this is temporary."I tried to blink my tears away but it kept coming."Hey, hey! Don't do this!"She approached and held my hand, her expression saddened."I'm worried. I won't go inside, just behind the gl*ss, please!"She let out a heavy breath and tapped on my hand."Only a few minutes, you know the rules."She nodded and helped me to get down the bed.She held my
I struggled to open the seat belt. And the car was drowning. My heart hurt and my lungs lacked air.I was losing consciousness when I felt a hand on my shoulder.The surroundings around me reversed. A chubby cute little boy grabbed my hand."Mommy! This way!"We began to run in the garden, it was a warm delightful sunny day. Suddenly, everything swayed into the wild waters, the boy was floating, and I struggled to hold his hand."Don't let go!"I shouted but his hand slipped and he drifted further and farther away.I screamed desperately, begging for help.I blinked and opened my eyes, masculine arms wrapped around me and pulled me up. They lifted me above the water's surface.~Edward~Her car fell into the water and I didn't hesitate, pulling over there I jumped down. Losing her was nothing I could bear.The car was drowned when I reached her and unbuckled the seat belt. I felt my lungs running out of air and pulled her out, swimming up, I pushed her up with all my might.If one of
Edward~Lately, my hands were tied. I was looking for Gregory and his influences when I heard Interpol had arrested them. I used my connections to talk with Maya's attorney in a restaurant."Why would they arrest Maya?""Are you going to help her out?"I shook my head, "If she had killed her boyfriend, why should I do that at all?""It was your wife who sent her to jail! She plotted against her and Maya won't forgive this."My head grew numb! Olive? How did she realize this? How did she manage? She couldn't be alone."Then I must thank her! I was about to trust Maya again. Besides, I want you to send a message to Mason."The attorney frowned, "We don't seek war!""Neither do I want that. Just tell him to restrain his people. If something happens to Kit again, I will burn this world, let alone his community."I menaced and he just looked at me. I got what I wanted. I needed to hear this from Olive and possibly Dane. She couldn't gather information about Maya and Gregory alone so the br
Elenore~John was sucking on my breasts. He returned last night and after greeting his grandfather, he asked to visit me in a hotel."Why did you disappear?"I breathed, gasping!He moaned and hushed me. Half an hour later, we plunged into the mattress and he dragged me close to his chest."I realized Maya failed to do the job!"I burst into laughter."How long have you known about her?"He kissed my shoulder, it tingled my skin."Last year, I saw her father in a meeting in the US. He asked me whether I could gain the CEO position. I said if I gained it, would he invest in our company? He revealed his interest."My mood soured after hearing it, "To get what in exchange?""He *ssumed I would marry his daughter!""And you would have accepted only to burn Ed's *ss!""Nope! I knew about her secrets and how dangerous she was. She killed a man to gain his wealth."My back chilled and I turned around to face him."Are you fu*king serious?"He nodded and his fingers brushed on my curves."Yup
Olive~"He has no idea that whore is tempted to kill his best friend! How can he keep his affairs with her!"My heart was broken. I felt my eyes getting warm and stopped my brain from overthinking.The next day, I was sitting in the garden when he came to me. He reached his hand out to pull the blanket upper on my shoulder when I dodged."Are you going to meet your grandpa?"My voice was cold but I tried not to make him suspicious."Yes, I am; it is cold, are you not going inside?""It is getting warm, I'm fine."He kneeled before me, putting on the same disgusting soft act."Do you need anything?""Yes, not to see your face every second!"I swallowed. I lied! Deeply, I wish we had known each other in some other way. Even though it couldn't change his desires! His heart belonged to the people in the past.He stood up and kissed my head, "I'll be back late. Make sure you eat well."I ignored him but peeked to see if he left.I jumped on my feet and stormed inside."Layla and I are goin
Maya~"Where are you, Elenore? Are you ignoring me?"I have been calling you since yesterday."I heard the news, she is pregnant! But how can you be sure that’s Edward's child?"This b*tch told me Olive was a virgin and now giving me a conceivable reason.She has changed!"You say that you have no interest in helping me, don't you?""Listen, she is pregnant. He won't give up on her. Just stop bothering yourself and wasting time."I hung up immediately, punching the table in front of me. The coffee spilled out of the cup. I looked outside of the window.I have been staying in this hotel to make sure the house I would step in was going to be his."I won't lose to a stupid girl. He wants to be with her, so I let him leave this world but not now.."I was about to dial Gregory's number when an unknown phone number appeared on my screen."Let's see each other.""Olive?""Yes, I want to talk to you.""I'll send you the location."So serious! She hung up, and I was astonished. My fingers numb
