Bound To King When the past and present meet
EMILYI blinked my eyes hurriedly to hide my shock. How could it be?Justin was Anthony?“You’re Alexandro’s wife.” It wasn’t a question. It was more like a confirmation. I couldn’t tell if he recognized me or not but I didn’t want my old life and the life I was living not clashing so I faked ignorance and stretched my hands out.“And you’re Elena’s brother. Anthony. I must say it’s a pleasure to meet you.” I said sweetly. “Why don’t I change and we take a walk together? I heard you’ve been around the world, you must tell me about beautiful places I can go with my husband.” I added.Elena beamed, “Yes he has, I’ve decided to do a bit of traveling myself.”I turned to make my way to my closet to change but the floor was wet and I slipped. Anthony caught me effortlessly, lifting me completely off the floor. My breath caught. I felt exposed, bare to his touch. I looked up to meet a fierce gaze in his eyes. His blue eyes were blazing with an emotion I didn’t recognize but I knew there and
Bound To King Questions but no answers
EMILYElliot only raised his brow, enjoying the show.The four men's eyes were on me, waiting for an answer until Elena burst into laughter. For the first time, her inability to read the room was useful.Everyone’s gaze moved to her and the spell was broken. Elliot went back to his food, Ian gave a small smile, and Alexandro and Anthony were still frowning but shooting death glares at themselves instead of me.“My dad can’t make any woman swoon. Why else couldn’t he marry despite how rich he is?” Elena smirked.I thought Ian would take offense but instead, he answered lightly, “ I was busy showering you with all my love.”“And now I’m a spoilt brat nobody wants.” She said cheekily. Stray bullet to Alexandro and two points to Elena.“Which is why I’m withdrawing my love. Don’t be surprised when I find a bring my girlfriend into this house.” He said again lightly, but I could hear some honesty in it. Ian wanted a serious woman in his life and it didn’t sound like he had one already.Ant
Bound To King Cooking a fight
EMILYMy lips trembled as I struggled to reply.I had no excuse. I hadn’t called him because I didn’t know him, and didn’t believe anyone would come and help me.“What are you doing?” I heard Alexandro's voice snap as the door was yanked from Anthony.“My shirt was stuck,” I lied. I didn’t want him to know I had met Anthony before, and I hoped Anthony kept his mouth sealed shut.Alexandro offered his hand to me and I took it, letting him hold my hand all the way to our suit. We waved everyone goodnight. I didn’t look back at Anthony even as I felt his eyes creating a hole in my back.My husband didn’t let go of my hands until we were in our suit, and even then, he didn’t let go. I had tried to gauge his mood on our way back, but I still couldn’t tell if he was mad or not.I let go of his hand to hug him from behind, wrapping my arms tightly around him, hoping he wouldn’t unleash on me. We had left that level in our relationship and even if I always wagged my tongue about things going
Bound To King Does she know?
ALEXANDROElena placed a possessive hand around my arm. I didn’t care how she felt as long as it served its purpose. To keep the women away.I flexed the Rolex on my wrist and sighed. It’s been an hour yet the real deal had not started. This was a good time to socialize but I was now married and my wife wasn’t here. All they’ll do is ask about her. It would make no difference if I had brought her along. They’ll ignore me and stare at her, they’ll want more of her, and they’ll ask to come to their house or hotel. We would not leave Paris this year if that happened.I knew she missed her father and wanted to see him so I had to wrap things up as soon as I could, before it was winter too.I raised my hand to signal a waiter moving around with wine. I took a glass for myself and Elena helped herself.“Why didn’t you bring her if you were going to think about her all through it,” Elena asked. I didn’t need to ask who she was referring to.“For her good.” I briefed.“Does she know that?” El
Bound To King Nothing demure
ALEXANDROEmily didn’t even have to give Elena a glance of the killer glare that she was killing me with before Elena yanked her finger out of mine. I hadn’t even been conscious of it.I couldn’t help but notice how sexy she looked in that red gown. I could see her cream thighs, her cleavage, and how she styled her hair to play around it, covering yet revealing. Teasing.Every eye was on her now. All my efforts have gone down the drain. I was angry.I reached for her only to have Ian block my path. “You will not lay a hand on my date.” A determined look was in his eyes, along with a little bit of possessiveness. From a man like Ian Ortega, that little might be too much.“You will not keep me away from my wife.” I snarled at him. I knew when to fight and when to retreat, but with Emily looking so sexy, I just couldn’t leave her with Ian. Not with that look in his eyes.“But you can keep your wife hidden in a hotel suite and flaunt around with other women, dancing with them and making t
Bound To King The worst punishment ever.
EMILYI knew I had bitten off more than I could possibly chew.Alexandro was went out of sight after he threw Ian a punch, I had to commend Ian for not returning it.I could feel his gaze on me but I didn't see him no matter how I turned. I thanked and apologized to Ian who didn’t seem offended in the slightest.“If Alexandro gives you a tough time, you can call me.” Ian offered. It was funny that both father and son offered me their number. I hadn’t seen Anthony all through the party.“I didn’t see Anthony today.” I voiced my thoughts and was surprised to see Ian frown.“Do you both have any… unfinished business?” He stepped a bit closer as he asked the question, making the question sound personal.“Of course not. I only noticed that I haven’t seen him.” I said hurriedly. “Goodnight Ian. Thank you once again. I had a lovely time today.” And now I was going to pay for it.It took an eternity for me to walk to the front of our suit. I knew Alexandro was angry. It hadn’t been my intenti
Bound To King Suicidal
EMILYI spent the whole of the night on my knees beside him, begging, repeating the words, “Please…please… please.”Nothing seemed to get past his unforgiving skin. How could I sleep when each second mattered concerning my father’s life? He was so close to recovering. There were two weeks to the end of the month and knowing my father could have woken up in that period if I had stayed put hurt me.I did this to him, any retardation would be my fault. Why hadn’t I played it by the book?“We will have breakfast with the Ortega’s. it’s your chance to prove to me that you get my message.” I heard his voice say.My knees were too weak to hold my body up at this point so I was sprawled on the floor. My eyes were red from the last of sleep and I knew I looked a mess.I hauled myself up to the closet. First, I needed an apology dress. Something modest and cool. Something everyone would see and know that something had changed.No more colors for me. I’ll be sticking to black, even down to my und
Bound To King A miscalculation
ALEXANDROI had made a very big mistake. I went against my words. I told her she would be happiest with me but went ahead to cause her more pain than she had ever imagined, which had been my intention.But I had made a mistake along the way. The plan was to hurt her and not myself, this was a drastic measure to keep Emily in check, It was for her own good, but somewhere along the way, I had gone too far. Not in the sense of her punishment but in my attachment to her.It hurt me to see her in pain. Her tears and the sound of her sobs wrapped themselves around my heart like a vice.She didn’t sleep all through the night and I couldn’t either. I pretended to sleep hoping she would go to sleep but she didn’t.I was relieved when she stood up at last. That was more like it. She couldn’t be stuck on the floor forever. Tears solved nothing.Pride swelled in me when I heard her movement in the closet. Emily was preparing for tomorrow. I knew at that moment that she had learned her lesson, suc
