SimonI walk inside the club and look for Olivia.I told my brother a tiny little fib. The part about going to the club was true, but the part where I said I was meeting friends wasn't true. I didn't have a large group of friends. The less I hung out with people, the better it was for my career.I wanted to go to the club for one reason only. To stalk my beloved Olivia, of course.I knew she would be there, dancing the night away like she always did on Friday nights.It was always at the same club. Once in a while, she'd visit other clubs, but it was guaranteed that she would be here on Friday nights, which made it easier for me to catch my little birdie.I didn't have to look too hard as I spotted her right in the middle of the dance floor, dancing with some tall, skinny, frat boy-looking jerk. Where does she find these idiots? I rolled my eyes and approached them.I don't approach her like the last time. I wanted to tread more carefully since the last time I had to go home with near
OliviaI sat down on the bed in a daze. I still couldn't make sense of last night.I can hardly remember anything.How did I get to this hotel suite? Who brought me here?What the hell happened last night?I vaguely remember seeing Sebastian at the club. Sebastian? Wait, no. It wasn't him. It turned out to be Simon, and then...I have no recollection of what happened after.I look down and gasp. I am not wearing my dress from last night. I was wearing a man's shirt. It smelled like sandalwood.Fuck...this isn't good.I quickly get dressed and head home. I was supposed to have lunch with my parents and my older brother Jonathan who is visiting us from England.I take a fast shower and get ready for lunch. My mother already thinks I'm a spoiled brat, so being late at lunch isn't ideal. I won't hear the end of it.And Jonathan, well, I missed him. I wanted to talk to him about Sebastian too.My big brother wraps his arms around me and pulls me into a big bear hug that puts a smile on my f
SimonI watch Olivia storm off with her brother in a rage.She has that look on her face. Like she is about to kill someone. The face of a jilted lover.I smile dubiously. Dear brother must've rejected her for the hundredth time. Why won't this silly little girl learn already? She wants what she can't have.I wait until she finishes arguing with her brother before storming inside the house. After that, it was my turn.Then I wait, and I wait some more until everyone goes to bed for the night.I fiddle with the latch until the window breaks open then I slip inside the house. I creep upstairs. I already know where her bedroom is, so it doesn't take me long to find it.Her door was open, so I walked inside effortlessly with a smug smile painted on my lips.She has her head buried inside a book, so she doesn't hear me come in. I hold back a chuckle as I read the title of her book."I'm sorry, 'Sexting with a Vampire?' Is that the kind of thing you like reading?"Olivia squeals loudly and
DelilahTwo weeks later,It is my wedding day.It is supposed to be the happiest day of my life. I had been dreaming about it since I was a little girl, but now it feels like a nightmare.Everything looks perfect. The venue is beautifully decorated. Sebastian insisted on paying for everything, which hurt my father's pride a little, but he was appreciative in the end.Sebastian spared no expense. The wedding hall had everything I had ever dreamed of having for my wedding. In addition, I got to buy the most beautiful dress I had ever seen, which Sebastian paid for as well.But I couldn't be happy no matter how much I tried. Dread filled my stomach. I wasn't about to marry him because we were in love. I was marrying him because he practically owned me. This is all wrong right from the beginning.I chose a lacy floor-length gown with an open back. I kept her hair down in loose waves and decorated it with white Lilies to match my dress.I wish I could be excited for this day, but I was ter
Sebastian"Sebastian, wait. Where are you taking me?" Delilah asked as I pulled her toward the Limo with 'Just Married' written on the back."Did you forget it's our wedding night? We are going to our honeymoon suite," I said, smiling ear to ear as if I had just won the lottery."But I haven't had the chance to say goodbye to everyone!" she whined."They will understand," I practically shoved her inside the Limo. I know she is trying to make excuses to stall, and I have no patience for it. I was desperate to have her tonight. I had been longing to touch her everywhere ever since I saw her walking down the aisle. My beautiful bride.I controlled my urge to attack her in the Limo. I should wait till we make it to the hotel, at least, I thought. Delilah stayed quiet the entire ride, but she didn't smack my hand away when I put it on her lap."Wait here," I said to Delilah and went inside the hotel to grab the room key, then came back to collect her.Delilah looked like she was in a daze
DelilahI ended up having a great time on our honeymoon.An amazing time, really.Sebastian took me to different places and showed me things I had never seen. I never went anywhere outside of the USA before, so this was a whole new experience.We went to a festival and walked around for a while. It has been a while since I enjoyed some time myself. I was always at home taking care of my father and the bookstore. Vacation was not something I could enjoy back there."I need to sit down," I told him after a while."Are you tired?" he raised his eyebrows."My feet hurt," I complained.Sebastian led me to a bench, and I sat down immediately. I looked at him with surprise as he suddenly knelt down in front of me."What are you doing?" I asked."Let me see your feet," he said and grabbed one of my feet, and took my shoes off."Wait...you don't have to..." I started to protest but stopped when he massaged the bottom of my feet with his thumb. It felt like heaven after walking around for so lo
SebastianJealousy.I never put much thought into that emotion as I didn't know it was a trait I possessed. At least, not until I met Delilah.There was not a single doubt in my mind that Delilah belonged to me. However, every time I saw another man near her, jealousy burned through my veins.And today is no exception.I promised one of my friends I'd visit him whenever I'm in Switzerland. I had been friends with Matteo since I was a boy, and it was time that we got together again.Matteo Fontana came from the long bloodline of dukes and duchesses. He had a proud demeanor and piercing blue eyes that shone with intelligence. By the time he turned 22, he had already built a successful empire of dating apps. His newest app was currently the number one app in the country."It's a pleasure meeting you, Delilah. You're a beautiful woman. Sebastian is a lucky man," Matteo said, taking her hand.Delilah smiled politely. "It's nice to meet you too."At first, there was nothing to worry about.
SebastianI stood outside and breathed in the cool air.I was starting to calm down and the anger I felt earlier slowly dissipated. My insides knotted in guilt when I remembered Delilah's tear-soaked face. What have I done? All I ever wanted was to have someone who would love me for who I am. Instead, I made my wife into a prisoner, and now she claims to hate me. Everything was all wrong.I didn't want to go inside the room right away, so I decided to take a long walk instead. I found a local pub that was still open and decided to go in for a drink instead.I wanted to drink until my emotions became numb. I wanted the feeling of guilt to go away. I never liked to admit mistakes, but this time I took things too far. I almost forced myself on my own wife, for Christ's sake!I have to go back and apologize.I take a long swig of my drink and then head back to the hotel room."Deli...I..." I started to say but stopped as I realized she was sleeping. I quietly closed the door and got into
