DICE"Come on, mate, seriously?" Devin's baritone echoed in my office room. He stood before my office desk, while I sat behind it—opposite him. I'd just laid him off a project; one he'd been asking to work on for so long. Petty? Absolutely, but I could not care less."I've been waiting for the project for more than a month now and you know it. It's totally unfair. You're going to push me out of it because of a woman?" Devin questioned flatly, unbuttoning the top button of his shirt as if he could no longer feel the effect of the air conditioning in the room."You know what happens when you test me, Devin. I'm never fair in my judgement, I do not have to be. Next time, think of that before you play another trick." My tone was firm, final.Devin's jaw ticked, signalling an anger that did not happen often. I smirked and lay back against my seat, admiring the visuals."You know, showing this side of you is far better than your stupid goofball side. You should keep it up." I spoke suggesti
LILIYATonight, I went outside Dice's house to explore. I'd never gone into the space outside his building for any reason apart from going out of his gate. But something told me I would be here for a while, until Dice was satisfied with how broken his revenge left me. So, why not get familiar?The first place I wandered to was the pool and I smiled to myself when a memory hit me while I stood at the edge of the water mass. It was of Dice and I, a time when we dreamed to have so many pools and swim until our hands and legs were numb. It was our favorite activity. Even when we had issues, Dice would still meet me at my parents' house to swim at night.Since we grew apart, I'd never enjoyed swimming like I used to. I tried to, but it was never the same as when Dice and I used to do it together. Before I knew it, swimming was no longer my favorite activity. Not even close."Feeling guilty?" I spun around fast on hearing his voice. My cheeks burned and my stomach began to behave funny wh
LILIYA"K-Kiss you?" I stuttered, my eyes as wide as saucers."You heard me." He answered with that eternal calm he possessed, then licked his lips like he was anticipating the kiss already. Anticipating my kiss.Oh God, I wanted to kiss him. I wanted nothing more than feeling this man's lips on mine, I wanted nothing more than seeing where this would go. But I held on to what was left of my dignity and replied to him,"No, thank you. I'd rather lock lips with Devin if I ever feel the need to."Dice was quiet, too quiet that I considered taking what I'd said back. I didn't, though. I just returned his chilling gaze while dying inside."Dice?" I called out when he still made no move to speak."What did I say about when you have carnal cravings?" He finally spoke. My lips trembled.To only come to you, I recited in my mind but my lips clamped shut in reality."I didn't quite catch a reply." His intense eyes caused me to look away. He did not bother to tilt my head towards him, rather mo
DICEWe got out of the pool and I helped her put her clothing back in place, as she kept shaking. She let me help her, and even if I was pleased that she was comfortable with letting me do such, I also felt sorry for her. She really shouldn't let her guard down for someone like me."I want to go to sleep now." Liya murmured, her eyes looking everywhere but at me. I let that slide for the mean time, instead occupying myself with the memories of what we'd just done.I could not resist taking her delicate hand in mine as I led her to the house. Just when we got to the huge door which led to the entrance, Liya swiveled around to face me, her mouth wide open."You came inside me." She whispered, sounding genuinely freaked out. "But you're on the shot, aren't you?" I queried coolly. She said nothing. Fuck .A baby would complicate things. No, a baby would ruin everything.I asked again, "Are you on the shot, princess?"She shook her head no, slowly. Her face had paled and her lips were sha
LILIYAMy legs quivered and pussy clenched around something. Something... wet. My mouth fell open in ecstasy.This was the very first time I was having a wet dream. Was it always this real? I shut my eyelids tightly, fearing that if I opened them, the tongue that was lapping at my folds would stop.The tongue circled my clit, then bit down on the sensitive nub harshly. It was then that my eyes shot open and I saw that someone was actually in-between my spread thighs. Not just anyone. Dice freaking Rexroth."Oh fuck." I moaned loudly. His thrusts inside my opening became even more primal. My legs began to shake with an impending orgasm in no time.When I finally came inside his mouth, he drank every single drop of my juices, then gave my pussy one rough kiss before getting up on his feet.He was wearing another pair of shorts, but his upper part was still bare like last night. I bit my lower lip before I could stop myself, aroused by the glorious sight."That's good morning, by the w
LILIYACeci gripped my arm, horrified by what I'd just said. I didn't lie, though."You call me a lunatic, you fat chick?" Another fat girl jab. I thought I'd gotten used to that already. I guess hearing it from a girl who was literally an opposition was what made it hit home."You have hearing problems?" I was proud of myself for holding it down for this long. I had drastically changed. Back in highschool, I'd let them walk over me, but now, I had started to grow the confidence to stand up for myself.Dice would be shocked if he witnessed this scene, that I knew.She strode towards me in slow, elegant smiles, smiling widely like the lunatic she was. She held a gun in her left hand which she'd brought down from her neck. In her right hand, she held the sauce pan by her side, too.I raised my chin to appear strong, even if I was dying inside. From my peripheral vision, I saw a guard begin to advance towards her, but she did not notice him as she was entirely focused on me. I held that
LILIYAEverything with Dice had begun to get really confusing.It was like I had him, but I also did not, because everything always ended after the sex. I was probably just another of his sluts, only that he did not have to pay before I spread my legs.He never engaged in conversations with me, unless he was talking about sex or scolding me. Deep down, I knew that what was going on between us could not even pass for friendship, but I still wished I meant something to him. I did not care how little I meant, as far as I meant something.I tossed about on my bed impatiently. It was currently 10pm, yet Dice had not returned from work. For the past two weeks we'd been fucking, I'd not been able to go to sleep without his touch. He never slept beside me, of course, but he'd always use his fingers, tongue or dick to lull me to sleep. Dice had also kept his promise of waking me up with oral sex every single morning. It was becoming a normal routine too fast.I knew I should not have gotten t
DICEThe moment Ethan alerted me about this woman's presence in my club, I did not bother to try to think straight before barging downstairs.I ignored Devin's offer to handle the matter, not just because I did not trust him around my wife but also because for the first time since I was conferred the position of the Syndicate's Boss, I wanted to wreak havoc in public. Even if I tried deny it, I knew I would willingly create a scene for Liya.No matter how much I hated this woman, one thing was sure—she was mine, and mine alone.While on our way to my office, her little purse fell off her hand and Ethan picked it up, sliding it into his pocket. I faintly heard her beg me to slow down but I paid no mind to those pleas. She fucking asked for this.We got to my office—no bloody idea why I took her here—and I slammed the door shut after we'd entered, loosening my tie a bit to allow space for more air."What are you doing here?" I asked her and she giggled, leaning against a wall to stare a
EIGHT MONTHS LATER Liya had a tear rolling down her right cheek as she gazed at the child in her arms. He was hers. Perfect, a bundle of joy, and most of all, utterly and undeniably hers. She thought she would burst of happiness just by watching him wiggle and whimper in her arms. Was this the love of a mother they spoke of? Just a few hours ago, she thought she would definitely give up due to the amount of pain she was passing through while pushing the baby. Dice had held her hand while she pushed, encouraging her to push for him, and she tried, heaven knew she put in her last strength to get the baby out. She did it. He was here now, even if his dad wasn't, at the moment. She already missed him, and she wanted to see how proud he was of her, because it was always there in his eyes—how much he appreciated her strength. She had missed that look in his eyes, because she had fallen unconscious immediately after the baby was all the way out. The nurse said he had stepped out sometime
LILIYADice immediately pressed his lips to mine, kissing me like I was his oxygen. I knew, because I felt that way too. I kissed him back with as much affection, pouring all my love into the single kiss.We kept going at it until I was nudged onto the bed, and I started to protest right away."Dice…""I know you're wet for me already, princess. Open those legs." He spoke hoarsely against my ear, and ever greedily, I forgot why I did not want this to happen in the first place and my legs were wide open in no time.Because I was not wearing any panties under my nightgown, his fingers met my most intimate part directly, causing him to groan."What a naughty girl…" He mulled, then slammed his middle finger inside me to the hilt. My lips parted in an ‘O’ and stayed like that as his long digit pumped in and out of me without mercy. I was already close to release, so, so close… I could already feel it…He pulled his finger out of my pussy, leaving me needy as fuck and I grabbed his hand, tr
DICEI did not have a good feeling about leaving my wife alone with her bitter sister, Inessa. It was why I rushed to finish everything I had to promptly take care of on time, and before evening, I was on my home.As I drove, I could not help but recall that the contract was ending in a matter of days. It was something that I had been trying to avoid, but it was simply impossible to do so now. It was so close, and even if Liya had not spoken about leaving me in a while, I still had my worries. I could not imagine her leaving me. I just refused to think of it.I was almost close to my house when my phone rang. It was Ethan."Hello—""Boss, Henri! Trevor, actually or whatever. He is… the other men told me that he's inside your wife's room right now and he wants to… he's about to shoot her… I'm on my way upstairs, I—"Boom!And then the line went dead. A fucking gunshot. I had just heard a gunshot, and now the line was dead? My wife… Trevor…"Ethan? Ethan?"I flung the phone to one of th
LILIYAI wanted to cry so bad, but I could not even bring myself to do it. Yet another person who did not want me. My own mother gave me away without thinking twice.I stared blankly at Inessa as she went on and on about our past, and it was only when she called my name loudly that I jerked back to present."Where did you go?" She asked me, rubbing my exposed arm in a comforting manner. I just smiled slowly, unable to quite get used to this side of my sister."I was here all along…""Was not." She retaliated, giving me the stink eye. I chuckled. "I should start the story over again. I was just telling you about the thing that led to me killing Ma's sister and you dare not pay attention?"Well, how could I not pay attention to that now?"Oh, I must have missed that. Tell me all about it."And so she did. Inessa loved to tell stories, and I already knew that asking her to repeat herself would not be much of a problem; she was chatty like that.She had killed Rosa's sister in self defens
LILIYAWe returned home that same day, late at night.Dice and I had just finished taking a steamy shower together, in his room, and I was busy drying my hair with a hairdryer while standing in front of the vanity mirror when my phone beeped, indicating a new text message.I peered into the device on the table from where I stood. It was an email. The first person who came to mind was Papa. Yes, I got work emails a lot too, but for some reason I did not think that this email was work related.I had obviously been staring at the phone for a long period of time, because Dice was suddenly in front of me with his hand waving in front of my face.I blinked twice, then looked up at him. My eyes did not stay up for long, though. They trailed down his shirtless, taut body and wandered down…"My eyes are up here, princess." He taunted and I looked away from his body with the speed of light. He quietly chuckled at this and stepped forward to tilt my chin up so I was facing him. He continued, "Or
LILIYA "She's lying, Papa. How could you believe her? She made up these evidences and you immediately believe her? She's useless and dumb! How could she know all these things all of a sudden?" Inessa yelled, and since I was done playing nice and trying to cover up her ass, I pulled out some more files and walked up to Papa, then chucked the laptop into his hands. "See for yourself, papa. Now, why would I lie about a thing like this?" I questioned and crossed my arms over my chest as I kept my eyes on Inessa. In no time, I could feel Dice's presence behind me and I naturally leaned back into him, causing him to wrap a protective arm around my waist. Rosa's eyes immediately went down to the hand wrapped around my waist and when she looked back up at me, I could not read the emotion on her face. She was not even defending her daughter, which shocked even Inessa. I could see her shock from the occasional glances she threw at her mother and squinted eyes from time to time. Rosa never loo
LILIYA"After this truth, I will leave your lives forever. I know for a fact that it would make you all super happy if I left." I spoke with a lot of bitterness in my tone. Inessa rolled her eyes at once and spat,"Why don't you just get on with whatever you want to say and stop making a party out of it. As you can see, I'm all dressed to go out." She informed me, making a gesture towards her clothing. Dressed in a skimpy dress with heels and lot of jewelries to complete the dress, Inessa really looked like she had somewhere to be. But where could she be going, dressed like that? I shrugged in my head; it was not like that was any of my business. I only smiled, though the show of emotion did not reach my eyes. Only if Inessa knew that she would not be going anywhere for days if I revealed this truth.I did not try to keep them in suspense though, as my parents… or parent and his wife, already had gigantic frowns on their faces."I'll just get on with it." I spoke, then began to take
DICEAll the air left my lungs as soon as Brandon said the words. I waited for sometime to see if he would take his words back, or laugh, anything that would show that he was not serious about this. But Brandon's expression remained the same, as serious as ever."What do you mean by this?" I asked him, my fingers rapping against the table as I struggled to remain calm. I could act like the position of a Mob Boss meant nothing to me as much as I wanted, but in truth, I knew that I totally abhorred watching Rex Corp lose more respect as the days passed, I hated watching the people complain every single day, I absolutely hated watching Rex Corp slowly crumble just because of my decision. It was not that I could choose taking back the position over wiping off Liya's family, but still.Brandon sighed, then ran his fingers through his hair and watched me for a few seconds, intently, like he was looking for something. I did not care what."I was wrong to take the position from you in the fi
DICEShe did not protest when I lifted her off the ground and carried her in my arms, bridal style, moving towards the stairs. She was still sobbing into my shirt, and I did not dare interrupt. She had every right to let all her pain out, even if I personally felt that the people she was crying over weren't worth it one bit.It was the first time I had seen her break down completely; with such a defeated look in her eyes. The results had completely broken her spirit, and while I felt very bad for making her feel like this, I also knew that this was unavoidable, and she could either choose to know this now, or later. She would still learn of it one way or the other.We arrived at my room and after unlocking the door with one of my hands which was underneath her, I walked inside. Then, I laid Liya on my bed, covering her with the duvet before going over to the side to lie beside her.We just lay beside each other—her, avoiding my eyes like they were plagues and me, unable to take my eye
