DICEFor the first time since our marriage, I was back home before my wife. I had threatened her guard twice about firing her, but it seemed like the twat had some other job elsewhere anyways.Just as I was about to drop my pride and shoot her a text, the front door pulled open. I jerked up from the couch where I sat, willing myself to appear as organized as I could.Liya entered, smiling like a fool whilst looking through her phone. I checked my phone to confirm that I hadn't sent her any text. Who the hell had her smiling like that?She looked up from her phone as soon as the thought crossed my mind and then, she flashed her pearly whites at me. "Hey, husband." "Where were you?" I went straight to the point. She rolled her eyes—fuck, I hated her attitude—and then, she replied,"Went shopping. Got done up. Made new friends, all of that." I gave her a quick once over now, and yes, she'd styled her hair differently and her nails looked new. Her face looked softer too, she probably had
LILIYAMy body was in flames, but I also didn't want to get too excited about anything. After all, this was the same man who didn't want me. The same man who chose another woman over me.I'd bought this nightgown amongst some others as some of my first, very feminine wears. And after that little jab by him last night, I'd decided to try this one out to see if I'd look sexy enough to stand near a man like him. If he hadn't entered and ravaged me with his eyes like this, I would have thought I looked like a bloated pig."W-what? No." I told him off after a while, my voice hoarse. He nodded as if he knew I'd refuse."Enlighten me about these cravings then, princess." He offered instead. Well, that I could do.I tried to look bold as I started to say it, but my cheeks still burned red in embarrassment. "Kissing? I really like kissing."It wasn't a lie. Henri had never really kissed me deeply for some reason, and it left me craving for someone to do it properly. Someone like Dice."Go on."
LILIYAI'd woken up some hours after Dice left my room, squinting as the rays of the afternoon sun seeped into the room through the blinds. I rubbed my thighs against each with other with a sigh, as I remembered what the man had done to my body.In a bid to distract myself from the unholy thoughts, my hand reached out for my phone on the bedside table as if on instinct and I grabbed it, sitting upright.There was a single text from Devin, asking to confirm if I was still up for our appointment with his stylist. I shot back an affirmative response before returning the phone to where it was. I didn't even have to check again to know that no one else had texted me. I could not keep any close friends anymore after Dice left. After seeing Devin yesterday, I wanted to call myself a fool for unassociating with the world because of him, but then I remembered that I was the one to blame for our drift, anyways. I just thought he'd forgiven me. He had said he held no grudges against me back th
DICEThe board members were going on and on about a proposal.They shot two or three questions at me on intervals and I kept my responses as short as possible. For the first time since I officially joined Rex Corp, I was not focused on a business meeting.Just a few hours ago, I had my fingers in a certain blonde's cunt and now I could not get her addictive scent out of my head. I knew this feeling too well. ‘This is how an addiction starts.’ My subconscious alerted me. ‘If the victim gets one taste, he wants more. And more. And more. Until the addiction becomes a basic need.’I had to make sure that Liya did not become a need. Not again. Back then, I was stupid. I was weak. I let my emotions get the better of me. Now that I've killed that side of me, I will not be making the same mistake twice."If that will be all, you can all return to your duty posts. We're done here." Devin dismissed the board members on my behalf and I let everyone filter out until it was only two of us. Then,
LILIYAI had a bad feeling about something, but I just didn't know what. Papa said I have a really strong instinct; but what exactly could be wrong?I sighed, trying to put the thoughts behind me as I prepared myself for the appointment with the stylist. First, when Devin had told me about the ball and the escort that Dice had hired, I was just... sad. But as time progressed, the sadness mixed with anger. He hadn't still said a word about the ball to me, and if Devin hadn't told me about it, I would probably never know about it.Such a bastard. I shouldn't have let him touch me; that only intensified the anger I felt for him.Today, my hair was in a tight ponytail, and I wore a black sleeveless fitted crop-top with blue joggers. A flannel shirt was right in hand, also—just in case. Ah, and my glasses. I took this one everywhere.After looking at the mirror one last time, I grabbed four lollipops for the road, stuffed them into my black purse and headed out."Hi, Ceci!" I called out
LILIYA"Oh!" I gasped when I fell by his side on the bed. Dice let out a low grunt and I sat up, eyes wide with worry."I hurt you, didn't I?" I started, turning around to take off my glasses and set them on the bedside table. I turned back to him right after and caressed his cheek, saying, "Hell, I'm sorry, Dee. Are you okay? Do you need anything?" He hummed, his face buried in his pillow. "Missed that." His deep voice softened a tad bit.My eyebrows drew together in confusion as I asked, "What?""You called me Dee." He looked up from the pillow now, fast enough to see my cheeks heat up in a deep shade of red. Screw my pale skin, really."Oh. Didn't notice." I responded quietly. He just stared at me for a while, before asking,"Say it again." "No." I replied, not minding that he was sick and I had to make him happy. He'd lost the right to be my ‘Dee’ when he started this game. He actually left the topic to rest, rolling over to the other side. I heard his stomach growl after a whi
DICE I never thought a day would come after five years, that I would wake up feeling so utterly refreshed. All thanks to the blondie who was fast asleep beside me. My fever had subsided, which meant that the mushy phase of our complicated relationship was about to be over. I was tempted to shut my eyes again, just so that this moment wouldn't end. Shit. Since when did I speak like such a sissy?I turned to face Liya; obviously a wrong move, because her beauty hit me right in the face. She'd always been so fucking gorgeous with those delicate features and rosy lips. She'd always been a temptress, a sly one at that.I didn't even want to imagine her body under the duvet. Liya was the softest woman I'd ever laid hands on, so delicate that I was beyond annoyed when she revealed that her father was a part of a mafia. I'd always thought she didn't belong in such a dangerous environment.Five years later, she was now the wife of a mob boss. I had to keep in track. Especially now, after wha
LILIYADice was gone. I woke up to an empty bed and sat up to look around but there was no sign of the man I had taken care of. A sharp pain exploded in my chest, but I consoled myself with the fact that if he had the strength to get up and leave, he was probably feeling a lot better.I got off the bed, and just to be sure, checked in his bathroom. The empty space confirmed my thoughts.I walked back to the bed and was just about to get on it again, when I spotted a note on the bedside table. I slowly stretched my hand towards it, picked it up, and it simply read;‘The moment you open your eyes, get out.’Stupid tears stung my eyes. Of course, what had I expected? The girls he slept with had probably also played nurse with him, too. I was not any different.I wiped my eyes ferociously, feeling like a total idiot as I bolted to my room on the other side of the house. I passed by Ceci, but said nothing to her, even though she gave me a smile and stopped to talk. The rest of the day wa
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
