I woke up in Vitali’s arms the next morning. He was still asleep which I found weird because he always got up earlier than I did I guess he was just extra tired yesterday. “You’re up, finally” he whispered in my ears. His morning voice was so deep and husky, it made my insides tingle. “Yeah” I answered softly “ which means I can get up now” It came out as a question “You were waiting for me to wake up?” I wondered “Yes. I didn’t want to wake you up” he replied in his sexy deep voice I smiled when he said that. “Does your arm hurt?” I asked, lifting my head from his arm Turned out I’d been resting on his arm for the longest “It’s a little numb” he chuckled“I’m sorry” I apologized “It’s okay” he squeezed my arm I checked the time, it was soon going to be time for breakfast. I hurried into the bathroom and had a refreshing bath, brushed my teeth and everything else When I got out, Vitali went in to get ready too. “Are you going to work today?” I piqued, wat
Vitali dodged and the bullet hit the car and dropped to the ground Woah, did Nikolai just try to kill Vitali? How twisted and evil could he be? I think Vitali’s car is bulletproof or something. I saw Vitali’s eyes flash with rage. I was terrified of what he was going to do next, I wasn’t the one who aimed at him but I was terrified on Nikolai’s behalfEveryone had come outside at the sound of the gunshot and they all watched with mouths hanging open. Charles wasn’t home so Maggie was left to handle this. I hoped she intervened quickly because knowing Vitali, he always had a gun tucked in his clothes and he didn’t look like he was going to miss if he shot at Nikolai. Vitali walked towards Nikolai and began to beat the shit out of him No one stopped him, they all seemed to be scared too. I noticed Erica run inside, I knew she was going to call Maggie “Vitali please do not kill him” Maggie called out running out of the houseAnd I wasn’t wrong, she went to call her S
It’s been two days since we got back to Vitali’s mansion and today, we were going on a date. I had gotten dressed in a nice outfit Vitali got me We had gone to see a movie at the cinema first. It was just released and it had my favorite actors starring in it, so I persuaded Vitali to take me. I knew he wasn’t interested but he tried to pay attention and ask me questions when he didn’t understand. It was a musical and he expressed that musicals were silly but he didn’t say it in a way that sounded like an insult to me or to people who enjoyed musicals. After seeing the movie, we were to go home but he had another idea to stop at a restaurant so we could eat He acted like it was a spontaneous decision but this man had it all planned out as a surprise for me Sneaky…Now, the sun had long since dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the rolling hills and lush gardens of the estate. Vitali and I strolled hand in hand, the sound of crickets and rustling leaves f
“So how did you meet him? “ I asked , popping a slice of apple in my mouth. I was sat in Vitali’s private sitting room and I had my feet on this thighs as he helped give me a footmassage “He booked an appointment with my secretary to see me and he pleaded thoroughly with me . Iagreed and I gave him a deadline which he failed meet too and the rest is history” he replied We were talking about my dad . I was curious to know how what had really happenend betweenboth of them, how my dad was able to meet him and borrow some money. I nodded my head in response as Vitali explained everything to me . The only thing that confused me was the fact that my dad had borrowed a whooping million How on earth was he expecting to pay that back? “So that’s why you used me to get your pound of flesh?” I muttered with a painful smile “Elizabeth ,I’m sorry. I regret ever treating you the way I did . And I’m sorry “ he apologized in aregretful voice He always apologized anytime I reminded him of how
“Did you…” he looked taken aback by my sudden request “Yes” I cut him off slightly nodding “Beth…are you sure “ he searched my eyes “Yes” I nodded He gave me a long hard look then suddenly he placed me gently on the bed “I’m sorry I can’t “ I avoided my eyes “You’re a little drunk. You might hate me for it in the morning"He moved back and threw on his boxers “What? No, I’m not drunk, I’m just tipsy. I want this Vitali , why wouldn’t you give it to me “ I argued feeling frustrated “I’m sorry Elizabeth, that is how you feel right now but I bet you’d feel different tomorrow. It’s just the drinks I tell you” he maintained Then grabbing his towel, he entered the bathroom for a bath. While I was left naked on the bed, frustrated, upset and a little bit embarrassed. I couldn’t believe I’d ruined the moment by asking for that.I expected him to jump at the offer , I didn’t think it would turn out like this I stood up from his bed and quietly left for my room. Normally, we’
“Are you sure baby” he whispered, I could hear the need in his voice He wanted this just as much as I did. And my legs being wrapped around his waist, just above his throbbing rock hard dick wasn’t making things easier for either of us “Yes, I’m sure. And I’m not drunk” I whispered softly He groaned , lowering me to the bed and hovering above me His lips met mine again, this time in a slower kiss. He kissed me gently, exploring my mouth with his tongue. I moaned into his mouth, my nipples stretched taut He broke the kiss and began an onslaught with his mouth, kissing, licking and nibbling all the way down my breasts and stomach. I enjoyed every bit of it. I didn’t want it to come to an end His head stopped when they got between my folds. He spread my legs wide apart and buried his head between them.I let out a loud moan, arching my back slightly at the first swipe of his tongue over my clit His warm silky tongue felt so good as he ate me out “Mm” I whimpered
That afternoon, I woke up sore. My body was limp and tired.Why was I so exhausted?With a groan, I rubbed my eyes open.This didn’t look like my room, where was I and why was I naked? I sat up with a start. “Hey, are you okay?” I turned to look at Vitali and I calmed Oh, shoot!This was why I was naked “Yeah I’m fine, “ I said, trying to hide the deep blush running down my neck from my cheeks“Why did you jolt awake ?” He sat up “It’s nothing. How did I get here ?” I wondered, because last I remembered, we did it in my roomOMG I can’t believe I had sex with Vitali I always wanted to do it for the first time with someone I loved, someone I found worthy and Vitali was very worthy.“I wrapped a towel around you and brought you here. Your bed isn’t that big , we couldn’t share it “ he replied“My bed’s big enough, you just want me in yours “ I glared at him “Fine you got me “ he chuckled“You’re a crazy man” I sassed “You’re not wrong, I did crazy things to you a few hours ago
I sat in the living room, watching a movie. I had a milkshake and some cookies in front of me to munch on as I watched From where I sat, through the window, I could see a car drive into the compound.Livia stepped out of her sleek black car and onto the driveway of the house I couldn’t see her clearly but I knew she looked elegant.As she approached the front door, it swung open, and I was able to take a proper look at her She was dressed in a designer outfit, her hair perfectly coiffed, and her makeup flawless. She looked every inch the confident and ruthless woman she was.Been a long time since I saw her and she looked even better than the last time I had seen her. "Livia," I said, my voice neutral. "What brings you here?"Livia's eyes narrowed, her gaze raking over my appearance. "I see you're still playing dress-up in Vitali's clothes," she sneered. "How quaint."My expression didn't change, but my eyes flashed with a hint of anger. "I'm not playing dress-up, Livia. I'm exa
“What’s going on?” I whispered I was very certain this was going to make the headlines What the freak was he trying to do? I hope this wasn’t another plan to embarrass or make fun of me He smiled, his eyes locked on mine. "I'm here to apologize," he said, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear. "I was wrong to hurt you, Elizabeth. I love you, and I want to make it right." I could hear the loud gasps and whispers ‘How could he love her ?’ ‘Vitali’s in love?’ ‘Eww she’s such a pauper ‘‘He couldn’t find anyone else ?’ And many more condescending comments filled my ears “I’d been a horrible horrible man to you. I’ve treated you badly, so badly you now want nothing to do with me and I want to fix that. Please give me a chance Elizabeth” The air seemed to hang still I tried to speak but my mouth felt dry. Vitali coming out in the public to do something like this was a big deal. Did I really mean that much to him? “Vitali I…” I struggled to find my words “You don’t
It was a lazy weekend, Zoe had gone to her new workplace. She had quit working at the club and was now working as a waitress in a restaurant nearby. I asked why she quit since the pay was better at the club but she explained that she was relocating and the sexual harassment from patrons at the club was too much It was already time for her to get back but she wasn’t here yet . I was lounging on the couch, scrolling through my phone, when Zoe burst into the room. "Beth, guess what?" she exclaimed, holding up two invitations. I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. "What is it?" "We're invited to Tyler Jackson's company’s anniversary party!" Zoe said, her eyes shining with excitement. “Um…Tyler Jackson as in CEO of TJ corporation, son of multi-millionaire Harris Jackson? “ I widened my eyes in surprise “Yes! That Tyler Jackson “ she squealed“Omg, no freaking way. How did we get invited? He doesn’t even know us “ I wondered “Honestly …I don’t know. I just found two invitations with bo
BETH’S POV:Zoe and I sat on the couch, sipping some fresh juice and chatting. Zoe had been trying to convince me to give Vitali another chance, but I was adamant that I was done with him.I couldn’t even believe she could even suggest something so ridiculous "I'm telling you, Beth, I think Vitali still loves you," Zoe said, her eyes shining with conviction. "He's been a mess since you left him, from what you just said. He was even able to find you, that’s intentionality right there”“You don’t know that man. He’s doing all this to feed his ego. He actually doesn’t give a fuck “ I argued“I know he hurt you and you’re pissed right now and I also know that you miss him” she replied“No. I do not “ I denied but she could see right through me “I watch you every day Beth, you’re not moving on. You’re hurting so bad it’s eating you up and you still love him. Why not give him a chance to fix this ?” Her eyes held so much emotion And she wasn’t wrong but it didn’t mean I wanted to go back
VITALI’S POV:The sound of a man begging for his life is both exquisite and annoying.I stared down blankly at Derek, or so his name was, begging pathetically for his worthless life, like the annoying piece of shit he is. I don't even know why they try.There was no other way out for them. For men like Derek. All they had to do was pay up their debt and by doing so, they made my job less annoying with their bloody pleas.Derek owed me a debt, he wasn’t going to be the first man to find it difficult to pay me back what he owed. But he was going to be the first I’d be dealing with before his deadline was up.His pleas made my ears fucking bleed.It's always the same with men like them. They take loans bigger than their balls and gamble it up and down till there's nothing but their shriveling flesh left to offer when the time comes to pay up.Then they begin to beg, cry, and whine for their pathetic lives. It's so fucking ugly that I want to grab their neck and break it so they never utt
Vitali's grip on my arm tightened as I kept trying to pull away. "Let me go," I repeated, trying to keep my voice steady.My heart beat picking up pace.But Vitali didn't release me. Instead, he pulled me closer, his eyes burning with intensity. "I won't let you go," he growled. "Not until you listen to me."“I’m not interested in whatever it is you have to say, just let me freaking go” I grumbled, trying to struggle against him, but he was too strong. He had pinned me to the wall At this point, Vitali's eyes locked on mine. "I know I hurt you," he said, his voice low and husky. "But I love you, Elizabeth. I need you."I shook my head, to show disbelief. "You don't love me," I spat. "You just want to control me."“No. I didn’t mean it when I said all that Elizabeth “ he confessed but I didn’t believe him “I don’t care, I just want to leave “ I maintained“I’m so sorry Elizabeth. Why can’t you forgive me ?” His eyes were filled with sadness“Because it’s not that easy” I responded
Alvise! “Nothing happened last night “ I stated firmly, shooting daggers at him”How did he even find me?What did he want? “I know and I’m sorry. I promise to make it up to you tonight” he said, gently pulling me up “Are you crazy?” I glared him “Just come with me please “ he smiled “Bye pretty ladies “ he waved at Zoe Rachel and they smiled, waving back I could hear the muffled giggles of the girls as I followed him out “What was the meaning of that?” I frowned once we got to his car I wasn’t exactly mad at him, I knew that was how he goofed around “I’m sorry princess but we gotta go now “ he kicked the engine of the car and reluctantly, I slid in. “Where are we going ?” I asked him in a dull tone “It’s a surprise “ he grinned What surprise could he be talking about?I had a very strong feeling that Vitali was in on this but I was cool.We didn’t drive for long before we arrived at a bungalow.“Where are we?” I turned to Alvise as he brought the car to a halt “Re
VITALI’S POV:Present dayI stood in my office, staring out the window as I waited for news from my men. They had been searching for Beth for days, tracking down every lead, every hint of her whereabouts.It’s been a whole week now and my patience has gone beyond thinJust as I was starting to lose hope, my phone rang. I answered it, my heart racing with anticipation."Vitali, we have a location," said the voice on the other end of the line. It was Vincent I felt a surge of excitement and relief, my grip on the phone tightening. "Where is she?" I demanded."We were able to track the phone call made to you a few days back," said the voice. "It was made from an apartment on the outskirts of town."I felt a wave of relief wash over me. They had found her."Who else is with her?" I asked, my mind racing with possibilities."We're not sure," said the voice. "But it looks like she's staying with a friend."I nodded, my mind working overtime. A friend?I didn’t think she had any, thus, I h
FIVE DAYS AGO:I walked out of the Vitali’s gate, feeling a sense of freedom wash over me. I had finally escaped Vitali's toxic grasp and I was determined to start a new life.I didn’t tell his driver to take me , I didn’t want any help that was linked to Vitali. The plan was to take a cab or a bus, the only problem was that I didn’t know where to goI was certain that if it went to my dad’s, Vitali would find me so easily I needed to go somewhere elseAs I walked to the bus stop, I pulled out my phone and dialed a familiar number. It was Zoe, my former work colleague.We used to work together at the club We were kinda close and we usually covered for each other when either of us would be absent.She also helped me when I got bullied sometimes “Hello is this Zoe please ?” I asked immediatelyShe picked up “Depends on who’s asking “ she replied, her sassy voice was all the confirmation I needed to know she was the oneHearing her voice gave me a nostalgic feeling, it reminded me
VITALI’S POV :I pounded the treadmill, my feet pounding out a furious rhythm. I had been running for hours, but I couldn't seem to shake the pain and anger that had been building inside me.“Beth is gone”What the actual fuck did that even mean?Could she be dead?Did someone have her?Yes, she had left me, and I didn't blame her. I had treated her badly and used her for my purposes. But that didn't change the fact that I missed her, that I wanted her back.That I care about her well-being Who has my wife?Was she kidnapped?Was that why I couldn’t find her easilyIt’s been five days, the kidnappers would at least have called by now.I increased the incline on the treadmill, feeling my muscles burn as I pushed myself harder. I had to keep moving and keep pushing myself. If I stopped, even for a moment, I was afraid of what I might do.I needed to keep myself busy or else I was going to go crazy with impatience I had been working out nonstop for days, trying to exhaust myself into
