LILIYAI'd never blinked so much in my life, and yet Inessa refused to disappear so I'd believe this was just my imagination. I pinched myself but I wasn't waking up from a dream, either.Dice accepted the invite from her hands and I swear Inessa's cheeks turned pink. If he'd noticed her reaction, he did not show it. I was boiling, for so many reasons. "We'll be sure to attend the occasion."Dice told her.She stuttered while giving her reply, "O..okay. I look forward to seeing you there.""Hold up, what the fuck is going on?" I hollered when I could not take the whole bullshit anymore.Inessa heaved a sigh—like I was interrupting a moment—then turned to me and said, "What's the problem sis? Shouldn't you be happy for me? You're married already, I deserve happiness, too."I kept staring at her with so much anger in my eyes. Then I spoke, enunciating every word, "You're marrying Henri.""Yeah." She shrugged. "Last I checked, he's a single man.""He was my ex, Nessa." I reminded her, bu
DICEHer eyes widened and she visibly shivered in my hold, but that did not stop me from slamming my lips against hers. Liya immediately began to fight me as per usual, but I caught her arms soon enough and kept them in place.Then, I kissed her non-responsive lips like my whole bloody life depended on the action. Even if she was as still as a board in my arms and even if the fact pissed me off to no end, I didn't stop. Instead, I poured all my anger into the punishing kiss.Finally, fucking finally, she let out a moan and that was it. I lifted her off the ground with my hands under her thick thighs and placed her on the table. Then, I reluctantly tore my lips away from hers for a few seconds, just so she could get some air."Dice... Stop... I'll be late for work." She whined, moving her head away and avoiding my kiss in the process. At this point, I was literally groveling for this woman's attention. I hated it so much—the audacity of her to think she could just fall out of lust for
LILIYA"You're so beautiful! Have I said that earlier?" Jane asked while sitting across me and stroking my hair gently. We were in the IT section now."Twenty three times now, if I remember correctly." I responded and she smiled widely.There was no logical explanation for this. None at all. Jane stopped by and immediately came at me with the biggest hug. As the nicest person I knew, I simply could not push her away or refuse to have a conversation with her. That would just be really rude. So now, I have to deal with whatever this is. Oh, and she called a truce, by the way. I guess we were friends now?"Well, I feel like I haven't said it enough. You look like some ethereal ice goddess, I hope you know that." She appraised. I couldn't help the blush that stained my cheeks."Thank you, Jane. I get that a lot." Pablo and Louis kept stealing glances at me while working. I was sure they already knew her and how she behaved. It was obvious that this whole friendly attitude was strange as
LILIYA"What do you mean? What happened? She was just fine while she was here." I said, shaking with fear. I felt so stupid and greedy. How could I not see it? I literally ignored all Pablo and Louis's warnings."I don't know." Steve spoke, breathing harshly. "Sloan was just taking her back to her house and on their way, she vomited in his car—half food contents, half blood, and then she passed out."I gasped. "Oh my God.""I knew she was up to something. Crazy woman had to poison herself too. Hope she gets out of this one alive, just like she escapes the others." With that, Steve did a small bow and left the room. With my jaw still on the ground, I stepped over the spilled food and walked back to my seat, unable to believe what had just happened.Louis and Pablo were awake already and they stared at me with judgemental eyes. I muttered, "I'm sorry."Pablo hesitated, but he later sighed and nodded. Louis just turned his laptop back on and began to type away on it. Some cleaners scurri
DICE"Are you going to hurt me?" Liya asked with a shaky voice. I smirked."I'll do more than just hurt you, princess. And you'll enjoy it so much, you'd beg for more."Her mouth fell open and I seized the opportunity to slide my tongue into her mouth. She whimpered and returned the open-mouthed kiss. I almost fucking nutted right there.This woman was sin. When I walked in on her fucking herself in her bathroom, I thought I'd just blow my load at once. It was the last position I thought I'd ever find her in, considering how prude of a woman she was. I had no seconds thoughts on taking my dick out and even when she caught me stroking myself there like some pervert, I didn't bother to move away. She already knew how obsessed I was with her anyways."Don't be too rough." She pleaded as I sat her on the counter. I just hummed, because this woman had no idea of what was coming to her. I lined my dick against her folds, watching the action with a throbbing dick. "Is this what you want, pr
LILIYAI could not believe this."What do you mean I have to stop working?" I barked at Dice, too angry to keep my voice down, even around his men. They pretended as though they could not see us or hear what was going on, but I knew better. These grown ass men could be tattletales for all we knew."You heard me. Effective immediately. Your life is in danger.""I will not take orders from you." I snapped at him. He just tilted his head a little to the side."I'm your boss. I have the right to fire you if I want to."My mouth opened and closed like a fish. Dice continued, "Now, if there's nothing more you have to say—""Please don't do this to me, Dice." I resorted to begging. Dice just began to walk away."I'll jump down this building then. I swear, I'll kill myself. That way, I'll just make work easy for whoever it is that wants to kill me."Dice gave me a slow once-over, maybe he was trying to see if I was truly serious by checking my body language. I sincerely hoped my body language
LILIYAThe movie I'd picked was a horror genre—Sinister. I didn't know why, but I just wanted to watch Dice's reaction to it, even if I kind of knew his reaction by now. Dice looked extremely bored, but also very focused on the screen. Every single time I turned to look at him, he had the sane expression on his face. So, maybe he was doing alright. Me? Not so much.I shifted in my chair so much, until I was practically pressed against his side. He didn't complain, though, only asked me after a while, "Why would you pick a horror movie if you're just going to hide your face in my shirt all day?"I started to pull away from him, but he dragged me back to him and tsked. "Did I complain? I'm only asking why."I rolled my eyes, burying my face in his neck even more when a gory scene began to unfold. "I just really enjoy watching horror movies, but I'm never able to watch them with my eyes fully open." I explained.He hummed, then wrapped his arm around my shoulder again. "I think it's a go
DICEI could not resist locking lips with Liya one last time before dashing out of the room. Jane was eating more than she could chew. Guess it was time to put the little tyrant in place. The moment I was in my car, Jane's pissy father—Luciano sent a text. I read it at a glance,LUCIANO: Do not touch my daughter, Dice. ME: She touched my family first, Luciano. Any last words to her?LUCIANO: Rexroth. If you touch as much as a hair on her head, I'll clap back. Ten times whatever you did.ME: Bring it on.With that, I pulled my car out of the garage and proceeded to start my journey. My convoy followed after me, of course. I should have a driver—and I did, but I enjoyed driving and only let go of the steering wheel once in a while.Despite Devin's numerous texts to tell me that they could handle everything by themselves and that I should not leave my car, and if possible, house for any reason. I was, after all, the Boss.The whole panic about me exposing myself to the public was under
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
