Darkest Desires CHAPTER 170
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

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

YVONNEI stood in the middle of the bare apartment. I just paid the security deposit. I got the deal all thanks to Dave. He helped me because I didn't have a credit history or other requirements. He agreed to become my guarantor.Now, I have a place I can call my own, sort of. I still need to furnish it though. Selene offered to help, but I wanted to do it alone. I don't think it's hard to do since it's a studio apartment. The space is limited. I only need a few pieces of furniture and appliances.But still, I am so excited to make it my own. I grinned while imagining how I wanted it to look like."I can't believe I'm here," I muttered to myself. It still felt like a dream. A dream that turns into a nightmare from time to time, but it's slowly getting more bearable. I keep myself occupied to refrain from wallowing in pain and self-pity.Like now, I just got off from work so I decided to do something productive than cry and lay around for the rest of the day.I went to a nearby home fu

YVONNEThe weekend came by so fast. I'm getting by just fine. I think. The numbing pain in my chest ever since I left Vlad slowly morphed into a dull ache until I couldn't feel anything anymore.I've already moved into my apartment unit the other day. Everything I bought was already delivered, but I haven't finished decorating yet. Aside from the daybed and some other things I already needed, the others remained in their boxes.I was so busy with the upcoming opening of Project Eve that I barely had time to decorate. When I came home, I was usually exhausted and could hardly eat.But it's Saturday today and I didn't have anything to do so I might as well try to finish decorating the place. After eating breakfast, I immediately started working my ass off. I cleaned up first before unboxing the things I bought.Slowly, the whole unit started to come together. I could feel the sweat dripping on my forehead and I was already catching my breath but I kept going."Is it slanted?" I stepped b

YVONNEI didn't know when I fell asleep, but it was already dark outside when I woke up. My stomach is grumbling with so much hunger.At first, I tried to ignore it and go back to sleep but the rumbling was too much to bear. I stood up to look for something to eat."Ugh," I groaned out loud when I realized I hadn't done the groceries yet. After a few minutes of contemplating, I decided to eat out and maybe buy some groceries on my way back.I checked myself in the slanted mirror while brushing my hair. I frowned while staring into my reflection. I looked a little different. Perhaps it's the few pounds I shed.I let my long hair down, thinking I should chop it off one of these days. Then I grabbed a coat before sliding my feet into a pair of shoes and going out of the unit. I went out to find a place to eat.It didn't take long before I found a fast-food restaurant. I ordered a lot. I really wanted to eat here when I was young. Unfortunately, my so-called mother never cared. I was luck

VLADIMIRNo. This can't be right.I glanced at Blaze who was looking at me apologetically."I know it's hard to believe, but everything points to her," he said.I harshly wiped my face with my palm. It's unbelievable. I can't imagine how she was able to orchestrate something like this.Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I thought bitterly.I squeezed my eyes shut before looking at the files Blaze had given me when I arrived. I scanned them again, making sure I wasn't seeing things. I gritted my teeth while reading.They were complete with bank transactions, emails, and phone calls. I don't know how he got all of this but it doesn't matter now, does it?Everything was traced back to Riva. Riva!My seemingly innocent wife. Her sweet smile flashed at the back of my mind. How could she do this to me? I never once suspected her. Even now, with everything my men found against her, I still find it hard to believe.How could she do this to me?How? Why? Some of the bank transactio
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 209
YVONNEMy head is reeling. I stood behind the closed door, replaying everything that happened inside my head. To say I was dumbfounded is an understatement.I'm in love with you.I can still hear his husky voice and feel his warm breath fanning against the sensitive skin on my neck. Speechless after he said those words, I didn't even try to look at him, even though I could feel his glances while driving back to my unit.I don't know how to process it. It seemed unrealistic. Did he really say those words? Was I dreaming?I pinched my arm so hard to prove that I am awake. I groaned when pain hit me.Shit. It was real!"Aah!" I screamed so loud that I must have woken up the entire building!Damn it! I jumped into the daybed and pushed my face against a pillow, trying to muffle my screams against it.I'm losing my mind!How can he be in love with me? I can't believe this. He must be playing with me! But why would he lie about it?I rolled to my back and stared at the ceiling as if his fac

VLADIMIR"I promise I'll make it right."Her whole body became rigid in my arms when I held her. I know this sounds like an empty promise, but I meant it."I..." I took a deep breath. I turned her around to look at her. I wanted to see her face. I wanted her to see how genuine my feelings were."I'm in love with you," I told her while staring deep into her eyes. Her lips parted in shock. I had the strongest urge to ravish those lips, but this wasn't the time for that."Do you understand?" I asked when she didn't even blink.I cupped her face, pressing my forehead against her. I can hear her ragged breaths as if she was on the verge of a panic attack."I love you," I whispered. "But I need to make things right this time. I need to... end things with Riva so we can start on a clean slate."She remained dumbfounded. She was just staring at me as if I'd grown another head."Yvonne," I gently called her name. "Did you hear me?"She only nodded but still didn't say anything. I guess it was
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 207
YVONNE"Leave," even I was surprised at how my voice turned out full of conviction. I stared at the darkness in front of us.We were still in the middle of the road when he suddenly stopped the car.He chuckled humorlessly, probably from my audacity to give him an order like that. But I don't care anymore. I just need to do what I have to protect my heart from further breaking into pieces. Because if not me, nobody will."Stop playing with me," I said."I don't know what kind of game you are playing right now," I told him, my voice dripping with raw emotions. I didn't even try to hide how I really felt.I am confused and devastated. His mere presence is enough to fuck me in the head. Every time I see him around, it gives me a glimpse of hope. I don't want to. God knows I don't want to, but my stupid heart couldn't help but assume.Assume that he was here for me. Assume that he missed me. The more I see him, the more I expect him to talk to me and tell me he wants me back.It was pathe
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 206
VLADIMIR What was I thinking? I thought, staring at her as she obviously checked out everything in the room except me. How could I become so impulsive around her? I shouldn't have dragged her here in the pretense that I wanted to talk. I just wanted to be with her for a little longer and that's the only thing I could come up with when it seemed like she couldn't wait to get away from me. "What do we need to talk about?" she asked impatiently. I badly wanted to pull her closer, to wrap her in my arms and inhale her intoxicating scent to calm my shit down. But I stopped myself. As much as I wanted to confess to her, I wanted to settle everything first. I wanted to do it right this time. I should end things with Riva, before even thinking of taking her back. I owe it to both of them. What should I tell her though? My mind was blank. Fuck it. "What?" she muttered while looking at me with a puzzled expression on her face. It felt like I was saved by the bell when I heard a knock
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 205
YVONNEI chose a semi-formal emerald green dress. I took it from the rack and held it in front of me, imagining how I would look if I wore it."It suits you."I gasped audibly when I heard his voice behind me. I turned to look just to find him standing at the closet's entrance. I gulped when I caught his gaze lingering on my body.My cheeks heated up profusely. I can feel the temperature around us suddenly rising. I couldn't help but glance at the air conditioning unit in the room. It's turned off. It's definitely the reason why it's getting hotter here.I'm sure it had nothing to do with Vladimir leaning languidly against the doorframe, looking so damn... Fine..."Uhm, thanks," I murmured, fighting the urge to bite my lip. "I'll take this for the opening ceremony. I hope you won't mind."He looked around the closet. I noticed his jaw ticked when he must have realized that everything was still there."I don't care," he looked back at me. This time, he stared into my eyes intently. "Yo
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 204
YVONNE The silence that greeted me in the apartment was deafening. I suddenly wished I let Selene come with me again. I sighed as I plopped myself into the daybed. I stared at the ceiling as if it was interesting. I felt so exhausted after another day of pretending I was fine. I'm not. I even think I am on the brink of insanity. I'm barely holding on by a thread so as not to fall on the other side. I don't know what I want anymore. I want him gone when he's around, but my heart screams for him when he's not. Damn it. If that's not insane, then I don't know what else is! "Ugh!" I groaned loudly. I should seriously stop thinking about him! I harshly get out of bed to find something else to do to occupy my mind. I winced when I realized there was no food left. I was quite hungry because I had not eaten anything while in the shelter. I sighed. I had no choice but to go out. I can also drop by the store to buy some stocks. I just gathered my hair up into a messy bun, then grabbed
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 203
VLADIMIRI woke up with a heavy feeling on my chest. I pried my lids open just to find Riva sleeping soundly. Half of her body is almost draped on my chest. Her arms were tightly wrapped around me as if she was afraid to let me go.I sighed. I guess she has the right to feel this way. It's my fault. I haven't done anything to give her the assurance she needed.I can't even if I wanted to. Not after finally accepting how I truly felt.I let out a long sigh before gently untangling her from me. I was careful not to wake her up. I don't want another confrontation. Not after last night.I still feel emotionally drained from our conversation. Today, I just want to breathe without the emotional baggage that's been weighing down my shoulders for a while now."Is there any update?" I asked as soon as I arrived at the warehouse.Our operation is back on track, although I refused to deal with clients who turned their backs on me in exchange for a few dollars in savings."We still haven't found
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 202
YVONNEThe next morning, I woke up with a terrible headache. I already forgot most of what happened after finishing the bottle of tequila."Ugh," I grunted as I rolled out of bed. I barely slept last night but I still needed to wake up early to go to work. Dragging my feet to the bathroom, I went under the cold shower to wake my senses up.Selene was still sleeping soundly when I finished. I went to the kitchen in just my bathrobe to whip up a quick breakfast for us. To my dismay, my refrigerator was almost empty. I needed to go to the supermarket later. Luckily, I found a few strips of bacon in the freezer and still a few pieces of eggs left.I popped some bread into the toaster while I fry the bacon and eggs. I checked the pantry, waiting for the bacon to cook to take note of things I needed to restock.After I was done cooking, I set everything on the table and then proceeded to change into my work clothes. I pulled up a pair of stretchable pinstriped dress pants. Then I put on a s
