CHAPTER 9 KIAN’S POV Three days–that’s how long it’s been since Leslie worked up the nerve to walk out of our home. As a businessman, a few hours is enough for me to get over losses, as only a fool will continuously mourn a loss when he should be moving on to the next best opportunity to make up
“It’s nothing. Work has just been stressful lately and being alone in silence helps me relax and think.” I reply. I feel her warm hands grab my shoulder as she massages it slowly. Back when Beverly was my girlfriend, every single touch from her excited me but now, I feel nothing. “You are all tens
CHAPTER TENLESLIE’S POVMy shock at Travis' claim is evident, in the way my jaw slacks and the way my eyes go beyond their normal size. I stare at him and he in turn continues to stare at the card like he is just seeing it for the first time. Perhaps, the realization that he is familiar with the on
Travis is speechless for the next few seconds, staring deeply at me while I squirm under his intense gaze and hoping he will just take my word for it and leave Kian out of all this. After a long period of stretched silence, Travis nods. “Fine, I won’t tell Kian anything.” I heave a sigh of relief.
CHAPTER ELEVEN LESLIE’S POV I take a step to the back when the man wheels himself forward again, getting even closer into my personal space than he already was. Looking to Travis for help in that moment doesn’t help one bit because he also has the same look of confusion written in clear lines all
“Your mother was a good woman…I fell in love with her despite our differences. I visited the club every time just to see her. I should have controlled myself knowing what we had would be frowned upon by the public and my family but I couldn’t. I loved Chloe too much to give her up.” “I…we…” he see
CHAPTER TWELVE KIAN’S POV I have been shamelessly and obsessively counting the days since Leslie left. That’s why I don’t need to look at the calendar to know it’s been seven days. Leslie has been gone for an entire week with no single trace left behind for me to track. The Hotel that provided t
Leslie always wears dull colors, colors that draw little to no attention to her as a secretary because she shouldn’t stand out. She never fights to stand out and does her job effectively. I open my eyes and that perfect image of her disappears. I sigh, asking myself if I am slowly going crazy. A
CHAPTER 32 [ Fucked To The Last Inch ] ~SOPHIE~ I was no virgin, and Travis certainly didn’t treat me like one. He wasn’t looking to kiss my lips till they were swollen or to fondle my sensitive breasts till I was dripping wet and ready to take his cock; none of that lover's foreplay. All he cra
CHAPTER 31 [ Take it off, Travis ] ~SOPHIE~ “Please…” That desperate plea was my undoing. I didn’t know why this was happening to him but what did it matter when he was squirming helplessly? “Okay, I’ll take it off for you.” I assured him, clasping his cheek with my free hand. He groaned, lean
CHAPTER 30 [Take it off, Sophie ] ~SOPHIE~ True to his words, Justin took the bed. He found me a flimsy blanket along with some pillows and practically chucked them at me. “If you snore, I’m throwing you out.” He threatened me before slumping on his soft looking and might I add, King-sized bed
CHAPTER 29 [ Their Privacy ] ~SOPHIE~ I was the first person to scramble out of my seat to get to him. Travis’ body jerked uncontrollably on the floor. His eyes had already travelled all the way to the back of his head. It seemed like he was fighting for control over his own body but losing—painfu
CHAPTER 28 [ Merely A Pawn] ~SOPHIE~ My ears could be playing tricks on me but surely, my eyes couldn’t be doing the same. Especially when I saw Elaine’s stepmother raise her hand to slap her across the face again. The sound of her palm meeting Elaine’s cheeks resounded through the hallway. It w
CHAPTER 27 [ To Be Travis’ Wife ] ~SOPHIE~ If Justin’s purpose for bringing me here was to irritate his father and disrupt the ‘important occasion’, he has succeeded at doing just that. To me, Justin was an Asshole. But it seemed like I wasn’t the only person who felt the same way about him. The
CHAPTER 26 [ His Whores ] ~SOPHIE~ Justin Wellington told me everything—what to wear, the occasion, and the role I had to play. He told me everything but left out the most important detail that I found out less than five seconds after meeting his family. Travis was also a guest at the dinner.
CHAPTER 25 [Meet My Girlfriend ] ~TRAVIS~ I can’t deny that I’ve been putting off something very important. I announced that I needed a wife but I’ve also turned down the numerous offers I’ve received. I knew my reasons for turning them down were mere excuses. I was still trying to avoid throwin
CHAPTER 24 [ Good Girl ] ~SOPHIE~ I had my night planned out. Celeste and I will get off work together for the first time. No, we won’t be going home. We’ll make a stop at one of those fancy restaurants where two plates of food cost half our paychecks. Dinner will be my treat but it won’t end
