YVONNE

"What did you just say?" Vladimir frowned, looking at me like I had grown two more heads.

We were having dinner that night. I'd been wanting to tell him about my decision since yesterday but he didn't come home last night. I clenched my hands and willed myself to speak.

"I want... a divorce," I repeated in a slightly louder voice while holding his gaze.

I may not be in the position to ask for it, but I'm so tired of keeping myself in the dark. I can't keep on waiting for him to get tired of me and finally decide to kick me out of his life. I don't even know why he's still keeping me as his contract wife.

He could have gotten rid of me the moment Riva turned out alive. Is he using me as a front? Apparently, he's living a more dangerous life than I originally thought. He has enemies. Enemies who wanted to bring him down. And they will stop at nothing.

Just like Leon who used her own daughter for his benefit... Who knows when his life or anyone around him will be endangered a

  • Darkest Desires   CHAPTER 167

    VLADIMIRMy jaw clenched. I was suddenly torn between wanting to go home to Riva and doing my job. But my guilt won in the end.I stood up to leave. I doubt if I will be able to finish anything even if I stay here. I marched out of the warehouse and told my driver to get me back to the house.I guess I will just take this chance to talk to her. I have so many questions that need to be answered. And she is the only one who can give light to the past. It felt like opening a can of worms, but I needed to know what happened.How did Leon pulled that off? Am I really that stupid to fall right into his trap just like that?I found Riva sitting in the living room when I arrived. She was busy looking at our old photos that's why she didn't notice me.I stared at her. She looked so different from the woman I used to love. She was so full of life. She was like a ray of sunshine that shone through my world full of darkness.Now, she lost that glow and warmth. Was it because of what Leon had put

    VLADIMIR"Dad also paid the doctor at the party who tried to revive me. Actually, he's not even a real doctor," she said as if that was enough to make me fully understand what had happened back then."He also had accomplices in the hospital where my body was brought in."It was too much. I feel like my head is about to explode any moment now. Everything comes back to me. I was too devastated to even notice anything odd happening."They were the ones who declared my death. Then they took my body to the morgue where they switched it into a wax figure."What the actual fuck? Is that even possible?!I gritted my teeth. They played it so well that I never suspected anything! After being sent to the morgue, the next time I saw her body, she was already inside the coffin.It all happened so fast. I was broken, I couldn't even look at her. I blamed myself for what happened and now she's telling me that everything was a charade?!My fists clenched tightly. I wanted to punch someone. I can imag

    VLADIMIRI chuckled humorlessly. Isn't it funny how quickly the tables have turned?I am still thinking about how to gently break it to her. I was considering whether it was the right timing. I didn't know where to start. I was still torn and confused, but it seemed like she had already made up her mind."She can't wait to get away from me, huh?" I muttered as I slammed my bedroom door closed.She probably saw it as a chance to get back her freedom. I couldn't blame her. I shouldn't blame her for wanting to leave. In fact, it was what I came here for.I came here to talk to her about the divorce, but she beat me to it. I should be grateful that we were on the same page. It only made things so much easier for me. It should make me feel less guilty about it.So why the fuck do I feel this way?Was it my pride? Maybe. Knowing she wanted to leave me the first chance she got, probably took a hit on my ego. That's it."Fuck," I muttered as I kicked the bed.I took a deep breath and tried to

    YVONNEMy footsteps were heavy. I felt like dragging my feet on the floor as I walked back to the penthouse. I just came home from the foundation feeling exhausted from a day's work. I pressed the pad of my index finger on the scanner. Every day, I am half expecting my access to the penthouse to be gone. I imagine pressing my finger on it, but it won't open. Or an alarm to go off for unauthorized use.Perhaps it will happen, but not today. The door opened and I let myself in. The whole unit was eerily quiet just like the past few days.Cora is usually gone whenever I return from work. I'm not used to it but I have no choice. I should consider this as practice. Once the divorce is settled, I would be coming home to an empty house every day just like this. Not the penthouse, of course. I obviously can't afford it."You're late."I gasped and almost jumped when I heard Vladimir's voice. I thought I was just hearing things, but there he was, sitting on the couch with a glass of alcohol i

    YVONNEWhat the hell am I doing?!My insides churned, and I immediately panicked when realization started to kick in. I tried to pull away from the kiss we were sharing but Vlad held my face with his callous hands in place."Uhm," I groaned in protest but it seemed to only make him more aggressive.I tried to open my eyes to look at him. His eyes were closed. His kisses were hungry and desperate, owning every corner of my mouth. I could hardly breathe when he finally let me go.I thought he had come to his senses like me, but boy I was wrong!I was still gasping for air when his lips traveled down to my chin and neck! His face nuzzled into the crook of it and I found myself tilting my head sideways to give him more access.Fuck. I'll be damned!"Vladimir," I called his name in an attempt to stop him but my voice came out more like a moan when he started sucking the sensitive part of my skin just a little below my ear.I squeezed my eyes shut. What the hell is he doing?I tried to push

    YVONNEMy whole body felt so sore when I woke up. Memories from last night rushed into my head as soon as I opened my eyes and realized I was in Vladimir's bedroom.I gasped. What have I done?What have I done?! I frantically chanted inside my head while trying my best to get up as quietly as possible.Vladimir is still fast asleep beside me. I can see his bare back. The sheets covered him from the waist down but I wouldn't have to guess. I'm sure he's still naked as the day he was born. And so am I!"What the hell, Yvonne!" I hissed as soon as I closed the door behind me. My heart was racing like crazy. I can't believe it was all real!I fisted my hands on my hair. Where are the divorce papers? I need to sign them as soon as possible. Vladimir isn't good for my sanity.I went to the living room just to squirm at the scene that greeted me there. Our clothes were scattered everywhere. If Riva happened to look for him here, she didn't have to second guess what happened.I picked up our

  • Darkest Desires   CHAPTER 173

    VLADIMIRI woke up feeling more confused than ever. I just fucking slept with Yvonne!I took her over and over last night until exhaustion finally defeated us. Yes, I drank a few glasses of whiskey but I'm not even tipsy yet!How can I do that, knowing that Riva was waiting for me at home? I can't even do it with her for fuck's sake! She kind of initiated intimacy the other night but I subtly rejected her."I missed you more, Vlad," she murmured as she leaned down to capture my lips.I closed my eyes, pulling her closer to deepen the kiss. I was desperately seeking that feeling I used to have whenever she was close. My fingers buried into her hair, angling her head to have better access to her mouth. Her moans were muffled in her throat when I sucked her tongue. She was already sitting on my lap, her core directly on top of my cock."Take me, master," she whispered against my skin while catching her breath.My whole body seemed to freeze after hearing those words come out of her lips

    YVONNEI looked around the walk-in closet, then sighed. I was about to pack my things, but then I realized I owned nothing here. Vladimir was the one who bought everything in this closet. I was just wearing a flimsy pair of lingerie when I was taken here.I chuckled humorlessly. It's funny how it seemed like it all happened yesterday. Now, it's over.I'm leaving. Finally, after being locked up my whole life, I will be free. I know the past few months with Vladimir didn't feel like it, but still, I didn't have my own free will. Unlike now...It felt exhilarating and terrifying at the same time."You can do this," I tried to cheer myself up. I took a deep breath and smiled.I decided not to take anything with me. I have already checked the money I earned from working in the foundation. It should be enough to get a decent place and buy a few things for myself. I looked around one last time. I went around the whole unit, trying to embed everything in my memory. This place meant so much t

    YVONNE"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Vlad worriedly asked."Yes," I sighed exasperatedly. He'd been asking for the hundredth time already.I cupped his face with my hands, making him look at me."Vlad, I want to do this," I told him, smiling to reassure him that I would be okay."I want to close this chapter of my life before I truly open a new one. I don't want anything to come back and haunt me in the future. I want to get rid of all my demons and leave them together with the past," I told him honestly.He stared deep into my eyes for a while."Okay..." he finally sighed. "Do you want me to come with you?""What? No!" I exclaimed. "Just stay here and wait for me," I said."Damn it. Why does it sound like you're talking to a pet?" he snapped.I chuckled, looking at the annoyed expression on his face."Don't worry, I'll make it up to you when we get home," I winked."Fine," he snorted half-heartedly. I knew he wouldn't agree to this, but I feel like I really need this before moving

    VLADIMIR"You killed them!" Jade cried, her voice dripping with bitterness and rage. "You killed my family! You should die, you monster!"I frowned. I gently grabbed Yvonne to push her behind me. She seemed reluctant, but I insisted."You know very well I wasn't the one behind your family's ambush," I told her in a low but commanding voice."But you were the reason why they were in that kind of business! You dragged them to hell when you let them join your illegal activities!" she yelled. "Leon told me everything!"I gritted my teeth. I thought she was one of the smartest women I knew. Now, I'm beginning to doubt it. Why would she believe a word that came out of that asshole's mouth?"Your father was bankrupt. He lost all your money and property to gambling!" I growled. "He kept begging me to let him join my underground business until I did! Even after that, he didn't stop his addiction. He owed people who went after them that night. I have nothing to do with it!""I don't believe you

    YVONNEI ran outside. My heart beats faster the closer I get to the entrance."Yvonne!" I heard Selene scream my name despite the chaos around us. I turned to look at her. I sighed in relief after seeing that she was fine, just like Phil said."Are you okay?" she worriedly asked, her eyes surveying my body, looking for any injury."Yes," I nodded. "Stay here. I'll go out to see what's going on.""What?!" she exclaimed while following me. "Are you crazy?! It's safer here. Who knows whom the shooters were targeting? Stay here!"She grabbed my hand and held me tight."I know. But I should be responsible for this," I told her. Aside from that, I couldn't wait to see if Vlad was safe. I would die of anxiety if I didn't know his state as soon as possible."Yvonne!" she protested but kept following me."Go back there!" I hissed. "Vlad is outside. He'll never let anything happen to me.""What? Is he some kind of superhero now?" she snorted. I sighed defeatedly."Selene, please," I turned to l

    YVONNE"Please be careful," I whispered. I tried to hold on to him, to stop him from leaving, but he still went after his men.I understand. He needs to help them. A lot of lives are at stake. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with much-needed air.He closed the door behind him. Somehow, I felt safe in the familiar confines of my office, but I couldn't completely shake the guilt away.How about the other guests? The employees? They're innocent. They shouldn't have been dragged into this mess. I don't know what I would do if any of them get hurt or worse..."This is all my fault," Riva cried beside me."No shit," I muttered without looking at her. I felt bad that she was hurt, but I still couldn't help the anger that was slowly filling me from inside out.I don't know everything, but I've heard enough to conclude that she knew Jade was planning this all along. However, she never told anything to Vlad. Just like what she did back then with her father."How could you claim you love

    VLADIMIR"Vlad!" Yvonne cried as I hugged her. I only want her to be safe. I need to protect her no matter what.I closed my eyes as I waited for the pain to come, but instead of the sudden, intense burning pain of a bullet piercing my flesh, I felt a heavy weight collapsing on my back.At the same time, I heard Blaze and Mike coming to help us. Mike kept firing shots, covering us while Blaze helped me get up.I was confused when I realized it was Riva's weight that fell upon me. She was hit. Blaze pulled her up and dragged her inside while I ran with Yvonne. Other guests were also rushing inside the shelter, looking for a place to hide."What the hell?" I exclaimed when we finally got into safety."I-I'm sorry," Riva gasped while looking straight into my eyes.I frowned, getting more confused. How did she get shot? Isn't she the one behind this? Maybe because I tried to take the bullet that was supposed to be for Yvonne. My jaw clenched at the thought that she was the target of those

    VLADIMIRRiva just started a fucking commotion. Reporters around swarmed like bees around her, making it hard for my men to drag her away!Fuck.What is she trying to do? Did she think she could win my favor if she ruined this event?"Vlad, please!" she screamed while trying to get away from the reporters who were shoving their mics and cameras in her face."Fuck it, do something," I hissed at Blaze who quickly moved."Vlad," Yvonne muttered beside me while holding onto my hand. Her palm was cold but sweaty and I couldn't blame her.She worked hard for this. And it's slowly falling apart right before her very eyes! Fuck.I should have known Riva wouldn't stop at anything. What else does she want from me?"Wait here," I whispered to her while signaling Matias to stay beside her.I don't want anything to do with her but this is the fastest way to get rid of her. I walked past the reporters who were asking questions nonstop. Cameras were flashing left and right! Blaze and my other men cl

    YVONNEI stared at my reflection in the mirror. It's been a while since I last glammed up like this. The dress hugged my body in all the right places. The slit on one side showed just enough skin but still looked elegant and sophisticated.The strapless and structured bodice complemented me well. However, I couldn't help but think that something was amiss. I let out a harsh sigh."Is there something wrong?" Vlad asked when he suddenly appeared behind me. I was so preoccupied that I didn't notice when he came. He held me in his arms, his fingers gently caressing the curve of my waist.We were in the penthouse he had just acquired. I agreed to stay with him now that he's here but I'm still keeping my unit."Nothing," I forced a smile onto my lips. "I'm just a little anxious."I told him honestly. I wanted everything to be perfect tonight and I couldn't help but worry that something might go wrong."You don't need to worry," he pulled me onto him and gently placed a chaste kiss on my lip

    VLADIMIR"I missed you," she groaned, making me harder than I already was!Fuck. She's making me lose it when I didn't even plan on taking her tonight! I wanted to take things slow, but she's a fucking temptation!I can't even remember how we ended up like this. I only wanted to surprise her with this new place. Her unit was fine, but I wanted the best for her. I knew she would probably refuse to accept it, so I already had it under her name.I growled when she suddenly bit my lip in the midst of our heated kiss. All thoughts that I had quickly dissipated into the air, leaving only her.I slid my fingers into her hair, pulled her face towards mine, and forcibly captured her exploring tongue with mine, thus deepening the kiss. Our mouths fused until we needed to come up for air. I didn't let her go. We tried to catch our breath against each other's lips."Vlad," she called my name like a prayer, breaking all the reigns I'd been trying so hard to keep."You have no idea how much I've l

    YVONNE"What?!" I snapped at Selene who kept gawking at me as if I was a puzzle she couldn't quite solve."Are you high?" she asked, her voice dripping with genuine confusion.I frowned. Why the hell would she think that?"Something's different today. You look so..." she trailed off while staring at me. She's seriously starting to creep me out."Stop staring!" I groaned, but she only laughed at me."C'mon Yvonne, spill the beans!" she chuckled, making me roll my eyes."Does it have anything to do with Dr. Phil?" she asked, wiggling her eyebrows.She then glanced at Dr. Phil who was busy talking to his patients. I watched as the expression on her face slowly changed. When her eyes returned to me, she seemed more confused than earlier.An audible gasp came out of her lips when she must have realized something. Her eyes widened a fraction. It would have been funny watching her reactions if it hadn't changed to an accusing one."Don't tell me..." she didn't finish but I think we both knew
