"Feeling better?"
The excitement of our engagement party was still going on. Several guests from out of town started to arrive to show their joy at the success of the engagement.
A night of dancing brought in the best Disc Jockey, portable bartenders were set to warm up the night even more.
Managing to escape the guests' questions, Luke Davis was kind enough to give me a full hour of privacy in our bridal suite. I didn't expect to be able to pour out my sorrows alone, I was self-conscious of my position.
However, Luke Davis is very different tonight. It's like he's transformed into another person, his kind demeanor making it hard for me to recognize him. He leaves me alone in the room, having prepared a bathtub complete with warm water in it.
After full of crying, and wailing for a full hour, I've run out of energy. As if he could read the situation, he opened the door to my room with a full food cart that he had brought.
"I hope you don't m
"W-wait." I blocked his body as he was almost on top of me with both hands.Our faces fell so close together, it was thrilling. I was in a quiet room, in the midnight dance party music, my body half wet after coming out of the bathroom.'No matter how you look at it, it's like a wedding night, isn't it!?' I panicked inside. I shifted my gaze to the side to avoid colliding with his intense gaze.I didn't want to know which way he was looking at me. My hands were just trying to grip the hook of my bath pajamas with all my might, not wanting my upper body to be exposed in front of his face.I swallowed my saliva to calm my unbearable heartbeat. A moment later, the silence of the room is replaced with the sound of heavy yet soft giggling.My opponent backs away from his desire to press his body against mine. My eyes blinked in confusion. I thought Luke Davis was going to kiss me earlier. But it’s not!?Then I've been anxious for n
I never dared to dream that there would come a day when my heart could not open happily to receive a cellular call from Mattheo."W-wait. I didn't mean to call him," I retorted quickly, hurriedly explaining the situation before Luke turned suspicious of me.*ddrrrrr*I tried to ignore the call. Usually, Mattheo wouldn't bother calling me twice in a row. Strangely, now he's being very insistent with his calls!Why isn't everything going smoothly according to my wishes!?"Pick it up. We can talk later."Too late. Luke Davis had already left his chair, walking away through the exit door as the last I saw of his angry back.My head suddenly hurt like hell. Not because of my illness, but the thought of Luke Davis being angry with me.All the while, the vibrations on the cell phone kept going at a horrible pace. I forced my mind to reconcile with my anxiety and picked up the call with a voice filtering into the room.*beep*
Captivated by his allure, my instincts had already reskinned into my former personality. The very me, entangled in the magical chain around his neck, submits submissively to the Master who holds the rope of their love.My teeth met the zipper hook on the pants that had begun to get tight. My eyes flashed, and my breath quickened, knowing my love interest had also entered the valley of passion.I don't let every drop of opportunity slip away. My tongue moved forward, flattening the zipper's hook with my teeth.The sound of friction has never sounded this erotic before. I opened my pants, rewarding me with an erect penis with a wet tip.'How adorable.' That's what sang in my mind. An hour later, the demon called desire had completely taken control of my consciousness.These fingers wiped away the saliva dripping at the corner of my lips, to allow something bigger to enter. I adjusted the size of my husband's penis in front of my mouth and st
"Go away. From now on, don't pretend to know me," he snapped. Something seemed to have possessed his body. His voice was much different from when he embraced me earlier.The sweetness of his demeanor had turned into a frosty coldness. His hands were no longer willing to hold my body. His attention was more focused on the cell phone screen that was in his pants pocket.I knew it. This was a rejection. I wasn't stupid enough to not notice the subtle jolt from him. His heart had changed to its old self. This was the real Mattheo. The one who hated me, looked down on me as if I didn't exist.It's not like I can make peace with the situation this quickly. Something in my heart was so reluctant to accept the fact that Mattheo hated me. The only reason for him to survive was my body. Other than that? I was just a useless piece of meat to him.“You like to clean up all this, or prefer I call my servants to do it?" he asked in a very cold and haughty voice.
"Open this door."Not a servant, but a voice that always managed to seize my courage. As soon as I knew who was standing outside, the world inside my head instantly collapsed into two.The knock accompanied me for the umpteenth time. It wouldn't stop unless I went there and approached her.She was the last person I wanted to see in this mansion. I looked at my appearance in the refractive glass, searching to see if anything was missing or unfamiliar in my clothes.Because this woman who was going to talk to me would be suspicious of everything I did. Even though I had done her orders correctly.My steps staggered to open the door that I so reluctantly grasped. In that short moment, our first meeting after so long happened right in front of my eyes.I waited for the woman to open her voice first. The last time I greeted her, she landed a beautiful slap on my face. Along with the marks that didn't disappear for a whole month."How are you doing?" Ragen asked. Her hands were busy searchi
"I see it’s useless talking to a stupid woman. It's a waste of my time." Ragen stabbed her cigarette, which was still lit, into my arm until my clothes caught fire.Her hand pressure was no joke. She burned my skin with the cigarette, without any expression of guilt at all. The stinging and pain I felt I could only endure by biting my lip and refraining from screaming out in pain.The cigarette finally went out. Not because of the wind, but because it was soaked with drops of my blood. A smile crossed her lips with great satisfaction, before throwing away the blood-soaked cigarette he could no longer use."I'll let you stay in this mansion until next month," she said, as she walked away from me. Now and then she would briefly look back, just to laugh at my appearance which was so funny to him."There are many things that my son has to take care of for your wedding, I know that. But, don't think I'll let you get close to him. He already has Natalia, do you get that?"I couldn't answer.
Engine running, Luke Davis was ready to drive me back to my family's mansion to start our next plan. As much as possible, I willed my head not to think about anything at the moment.'Wait for me, Mattheo. I promise I can fix our relationship again. For our child, for our love.'...- One week later- Davis University Private Hospital- Internal Organ Emergency Unit"Belle Kensington."A line of ominous, rancid scent wafted along with a nurse calling my name in an examination room.The man beside me didn't change his breathing, but his eyes noticed my stupidity as I continued to stare at my blank phone screen. Together, we both ignored the important call from the medical staff."How long are you going to stare at that screen?" he said. Referring to my cell phone that had been perched in my hand for three whole hours. "He won't call you. Forget it."I fell into a lethargic silence unable to respond to his words. "I understand. Let me wait ten more minutes. I'll follow you to the opera
'Even the wound from the cigarette fire on my arm, he took good care of it. So good that my mom missed this and didn't notice.' I thought. I touched the layer of bandage on my arm, Luke's handiwork.That touch awakened something in my heart. 'This is not the time for you to raise your self-esteem, Belle. You're the one at fault here!'I take a long breath, so long, gripping the doorknob as a handle, then exhale. Once the weight on my chest began to ease, I was ready to step outside.I was worried that if I looked at the sofa, no one was sitting on it. Luke could leave me if he wanted to. If that happened, I didn't know what else to do."Luke..." His name came up spontaneously after I saw that the angle he was sitting in hadn't changed at all from when we last spoke."Are you done?" That was all he said. Seeing me standing stiffly in the corner of the room didn't melt the ice in his heart.I nodded my head in reply. Afterward, his gaze fell back on the screen of his laptop that was on.
Belle's POV“Nggg~” Raven whined in tears when I separated him from his soft pillow. Not much different from her brother, Christ, who had already cried when his deep sleep was awakened. I really couldn't bear to wake them up in their unhealthy state.'However, Mattheo is already in Japan. It's only a matter of time until he finds the location of this hospital and my nightmare will come true.' I reminded myself not to let my guard down for a second in this critical situation.“Forgive your mother, my dear. I'm sorry.” I repeatedly apologized to my two babies who had to become victims of their parents' problems. I had to do this now or never.While Robert was still talking to someone on his phone, while the hospital was still too quiet for the guards to find me. Once again, I had to leave everything behind for my two babies. I'm not sure I would have survived if I hadn't hurried now.As soon as I found out Mattheo had reached Japan, the stitches in my stomach were excruciating. My stoma
Natalia’s POVI never expected to get a surprise like this, Mattheo's coming to the hospital and seeing me alone had managed to make my heart beat.I never imagined that Mattheo would even give me another surprise that was even more shocking than the previous one, not only did it make me do heart exercises, but it almost made my heart fall out of place because I was so surprised to see Mattheo in front of my eyes when I was just a few steps away from getting into the car.It was even more shocking that he was waiting for me there, like he already knew what I was going to do after this. Mattheo, he couldn't possibly know that I was going to leave and escape through the back door of the hospital and he couldn't possibly know that I kept a car in the backyard of this hospital either, right?''So, what are you going to say again this time? What are you going to explain about everything that has happened this time, where are you going and what made you decide to escape from this hospital?'
Natalia’s POVWho would have thought, a few moments after the phone call with Ragen had been disconnected, the doctor came back into the hospital room and he again checked my condition, which was still lying weakly on the hospital bed even though it had been assisted by drugs and also an IV tube that was still attached to my wrist.I will not waste this good opportunity. I will ask the doctor if I can get out of the hospital right now, so that I can meet Mommy Ragen without getting suspicion from anyone, including Mattheo if he finds me out there again.Unfortunately what I hoped for didn't really come true, the doctor stuck to his decision of not allowing me to be discharged from the hospital. My body that was still weak and not fully healthy was used as an excuse to keep me here.But I also can't stay here like this, I have to go and see Ragen before she does something much worse, she could tell Mattheo and twist the facts so that Mattheo only hates me.No, I can't let that happen!
Natalia’s POV''Mattheo, can I talk to you outside? There's something I want to talk to you about,'' Robert said which made me turn my head, wondering to myself what Robert was going to talk to Mattheo about?Was he going to say something very important that I shouldn't know so Robert asked Mattheo to leave?Shit, why can't my brain think properly? Even if Robert asked Mattheo to talk outside together, I was sure that Robert wouldn't tell the truth. Yes, he is also the one who has always helped me, if what I hid from Mattheo was revealed, it would also drag his name and Robert would not do that, I'm sure.Never mind, I should just trust him for now. Trying to convince myself that Robert will definitely not do anything wrong, he must have thought about it and considered it carefully before doing something.''Talking together? What do you want to tell me, is there something important?''Robert without hesitation immediately nodded to confirm what Mattheo had questioned, confirming that
Natalia’s POV''Why does your face look so pale after seeing me? Your reaction is so exaggerated, it's like you're seeing a ghost.'' Mattheo mocking me again while I was still trying to convince myself that what I was seeing was real, that Mattheo's presence in front of my eyes was not a hallucination due to the effects of the medicine I had taken.But his coming to the hospital and visiting me was real.He was really in front of me and was even looking at me intently, my palms were getting wet when I saw the way Mattheo was looking at me. With my nerves getting the better of me, I tried to act casual despite the fact that my heart was almost out of place.I'm afraid that Mattheo knows the truth about me, I'm afraid that he knows what I'm hiding from him, and I'm also afraid that Mattheo knows what makes me here now.This stress that I'm feeling, I'm sure it has something to do with Mommy Ragen's request that told and forced me to follow her will, assist her to seize custody of both M
Natalia’s POVI never thought that things would never go as smoothly as Mommy Ragen wanted, the process of taking custody of the child that she wanted was not as easy as imagined.'There was too much drama to be done, too many lies that needed to be prepared in order to get everything that Mommy Ragen wanted.'However, the fire of desire that has been burning so big inside her makes she completely unadvised in any way, she still imposes her will and insists on doing everything possible so that her goal can be achieved immediately.Even I could only stay silent and pensive staring in disbelief at her in front of there who was still talking to the Lawyer to discuss what they would do next so that the custody of Belle's two children could fall into the hands of her grandmother who was none other than Ragen.I did not expect that her ambition to control all the assets inherited to the two babies would make her desperate to do anything, even to the point of trying to seize the custody of B
Ragen’s POV''Robert, no matter what happens. I hope you will keep your mouth shut from everyone, I don't want all this to leak out to others and put me in danger. Mommy would immediately suspect me if what she is planning to do is leaked to others, you want to help me right?''Robert immediately nodded his head, agreeing to what Natalia said to hide everything he knew. To keep everyone's mouth shut so that what was happening here wouldn't leak out.''Of course, you don't have to worry about me leaking it. I will definitely keep my mouth shut with everything that has happened, just relax.'' he reassured Natalia and managed to make her smile with relief, at least Robert could be trusted for now.''That's good, for the time being, we should hide everything that happened from everyone, especially Mattheo, he shouldn't know what his mother is planning. I myself am also reluctant to get involved with that oldman madness, I don't know what the end will be, but I can guess that things will d
Ragen’s POVFrom where I was sitting, I could see Natalia shaking her head, looking very distrustful of me who dared to go against the law to get what I wanted.Of course I dare because it's not the law that I will fight against that I have in mind, but the property that will belong to Belle's two children that will also belong to me if I manage to get custody of the two children.Whatever she thinks, I don't care what she thinks here either, I'm not asking for her opinion. But I'm just forcing her and the lawyer in front of me right now to do what I want.Yes, not just the lawyer. But Natalia must also comply with what I want, whatever I tell her, she must obey!''Why are you shaking your head like that, Natalia? What are you thinking?'' I asked her, furious too because more and more Natalia seemed very out of line with my mindset.''Nothing, Mom. Just.. I think I need to go to the restroom first, You just continue the conversation with Mr. lawyer.''Natalia immediately rose to her f
Ragen’s POV''Natalia, I only asked you to accompany me to the legal counsel. Why are you so scared of being found out by Mattheo? After all as long as we keep quiet and don't tell anyone then it will all be safe right, or do you really want me to do something to you first so that you will listen to what I say and make you want to obey my orders?''I stared at Natalia's two eyeballs so intently, giving off an intimidating aura that was so strong as to pressure Natalia and make her give up on her initial decision to refuse my orders.“Please, I can’t do this,” She’s still rejecting me.“You certainly know what I mean, Natalia. It's not a difficult thing to influence Mattheo to hate you by bringing up his children's names, I can do that if you continue to refuse me. Ah, how about I tell Mattheo that you secretly want to harm his children?''Natalia looked surprised when I suddenly turned my head to look at her, I also saw her body jumped up when I suddenly turned my head and looked at h
