CHAPTER THIRTEEN KIAN’S POV I picked Beverley up at the hotel she’s been staying at for the past two months since her return. She seems pleased with me, a development worth mentioning after how she had left my house angrily after I turned down her advances. The date is an opportunity to patch thi
“Let’s get married, Kian.” I choke on the water, spurting it all over my clothes. I cough repeatedly while Beverly tries to help by taking one of the napkins on our table and reaching out to wipe the stain on my shirt with it but I take it from her to do it myself, looking around to see if anyone
CHAPTER FOURTEEN LESLIE’S POV It may seem like I am in control in this unexpected run in with Kian but it is nothing but a facade. Deep inside of me, it feels like I am going to explode from the way my heart pumps blood faster through my veins. It takes everything I have to keep myself from tremb
Travis tenses angrily beside me and he makes a move towards Beverly but I stop him, shaking my head. He huffs in annoyance. Beverly isn’t worth it and she is just as shallow as the man who put that baby inside of her. I brush off the accusation because I know that is not who I am. Instead, I turn ar
CHAPTER FIFTEEN LESLIE’S POV The concept of home for me has repeatedly changed in the last three years and also in the past one week. As of now, home is the suburban mansion whose garage Travis is currently pulling into. He parks his car amidst the many other sleek cars that scream luxury and weal
With that, I walk into my room before he can say another word. ************************************************************** A lot of things have changed since leaving Kian’s home. My mornings are no longer characterized by the rush to assist the maids in making his meal while also getting pre
CHAPTER SIXTEEN TRAVIS' POV Honoring the promise I made to Leslie meant setting aside everything else that needs my attention today just to talk some sense into the egoistic moron I have for a nephew. My first two attempts at reaching him through a phone call and an office visit failed, leaving m
Hannah practically drags me with her into the house. “What is going on?” I ask the moment she lets me go. “Kian’s marriage, you need to talk to him.” Of course, Hannah knows what’s going on. “Look, if you’re going to tell me to convince him not to sign those divorce papers, then—” Hannah’s face
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
