YVONNEWhat was that all about?Vladimir was long gone but I found myself still staring at the door he walked out of. Why is he suddenly asking about the kidnapping? And wait a damn minute, did he just tell me the woman who gave birth to me is now in jail?Did he... Did he do it for me? A tiny voice at the back of my head asked, but I quickly brushed it off, not wanting to entertain such a stupid idea."Why would he do it for me?" I muttered while taking a seat.He's clearly looking for answers for himself. That must be the reason why.It seems like Leon wasn't the only one who was after him. It wasn't surprising given his wealth and status. Not to add his underground activities. I may not know the details of that part of his life but what I'd seen was enough to conclude how dangerous that is.I sighed.The conversation with Vlad seemed to drain my energy. It kept going on inside my head like a broken record."Did I miss anything?" I asked while staring at my ceiling.I should go to s

YVONNE I shouldn't assume that he's here for me, should I? I sighed exasperatedly. He'd already robbed me of a good night's sleep. I won't let myself in another torture by sitting beside him in an enclosed space. I'd rather walk to the shelter! So, I pretended I didn't see him and walked straight to Phil's car but before I could reach it, I felt a hard hand grabbing my elbow. "Yvonne," Vlad grumbled behind me. "Oh!" I exclaimed when I turned to look at him. "Vlad! What are you doing here?" I should be given an award. I can say my acting is flawless, but he doesn't seem to buy it. The deep crease between his brows told me he's not taking my bullshit. "Get in," he said in a low but threatening voice while motioning to his car. "Is there a problem?" I heard Phil ask. Shit. "Uhm, sorry, Vlad," I pulled my arm away from his hold. "I already agreed to go with him." Before he could protest, I hurriedly hopped into Phil's car. He looked at me for a while before glancing at Vladimir

VLADIMIRFucking unbelievable!I was left standing in front of the building where she lives now, staring at the slowly disappearing car of that shrink. I gritted my teeth.I had the urge to follow them and slam my car against his. I took a deep breath to calm myself down. I shook my head.It's not worth it.I went back to my car and started driving back to the city. What am I even doing here?Again?! I could keep fooling myself. I could keep on making excuses, but who am I kidding?My knuckles turned white as I gripped the steering wheel harder. I kept driving in circles, not knowing where to go. My mind is a jumbled mess. I think I know what's going on but I find it hard to swallow the truth. It can't be right.No. I can't be in love with her.Riva, she's the one I love. I mourned her for years when I thought she was gone. I never stopped loving her. She remained in my heart even after she passed."Riva?" I called her name when I got into our house. I came here after realizing I mus

VLADIMIR"I can't..." I didn't realize I said it out loud until it was too late. I felt Riva freeze. She stared at me as if I had done something despicable.But her expression was quickly replaced by that of hurt and betrayal. A wave of guilt washed over me, but this was out of my control.I glanced at my damned useless cock which remained flaccid all this time despite Riva's attempts to rouse my desire."W-what's wrong?" her broken voice interrupted my trail of thoughts. "Don't you want me anymore?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper."No!" I hurriedly exclaimed. "It's not like that."She stared at me confusedly while I couldn't meet her piercing gaze."Then why?" she sniffed. "Why do I feel like you haven't missed me after all those years?!""Vlad, I fought for this," she stood up and walked in front of me.I picked up her clothes but she just brushed me off when I tried to cover her up."I never gave up. I held onto the hopes that we would be together again after everything," h

YVONNEI don't know how I ended up in my unit with Selene after work. She insisted on coming with me, and now we share a bottle of tequila.What's even worse is as we both progressively got drunk, I found myself telling her everything from the beginning Everything. I told her how Vlad bought me from the ring, how he turned me into a completely different person and made me his wife."But our marriage wasn't real," I muttered bitterly after drinking from my glass."It was just a marriage for convenience. I was his contract wife," I added while pouring myself another glassful of tequila."And that woman we saw with him in the restaurant," I scoffed while motioning my hand in the air. "That was his real wife.""Real wife?" Selene frowned. She stared at me with disbelief written all over her face. "Are you drunk?" she snapped."Not yet!" I growled. "I'm not drunk! That's his real wife! She came back from the dead after years!"I stopped talking to drink."I thought we already shared somet

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

(TRIGGER WARNING. May contain scenes about abuse and self-harm.)I strode into the middle of the stage when the soft, sultry tune filled the air. The bright spotlight followed every movement as I inched closer to the vertical pole, standing in the middle of the stage, my hips swaying to the melody of the sensual music.I stopped by the stainless bar, gripping it with both hands. I slowly waved my body against it while looking at the audience in front of me. Lust was clearly visible in their eyes as they seemed to undress me with their salacious stares.I looked away as I started to walk around the pole."And I'm so used to being used..."I threw my head back as I hummed parts of the song while dancing. My long hair flipped behind me. My hands moved higher on the pole while I hooked my right leg to it and then lifted my weight. I moved higher on the rod before letting myself slide around it in a fluid motion.The cheers from the crowd of men in front of the stage hyped me up. I am so us

"Bitch! What are you doing here?!"France's shrill scream woke me up from my dreamless slumber. My lids fluttered open. I looked at her with a dazed expression. It took a while before I finally realized what was going on.I fell asleep on the bathroom floor! Damn it!I stood up and quickly looked down to check my body."What did you do?!" France's panicked voice took my attention."What?" I asked nonchalantly."The show's not over yet!" she screamed."Fine," I grunted before walking out of the bathroom as if nothing happened. I headed to the door when I felt my hair pulled back."Are you crazy?!" France hissed. "Do you seriously think that the clients would like you in that state?" she pointed at my drenched clothes."What do you want me to do?" I asked unemotionally, which made her sigh in frustration. She was obviously running out of patience, but I couldn't care less."Hurry up and get changed!" she snapped. "Or do you want me to do it for you?!" she looked at me sharply.I sighed w

VLADIMIRDamn it.Why does it feel like I'm missing something? It seemed like a jumbled puzzle in front of me. I could see all the pieces but couldn't figure out how to fix them.Fuck.Now, I regret coming here to ask Yvonne these questions. I could see the fear in her eyes as she tried to think about what had happened, but nothing came of it. Why did even I think of asking her in the first place?I should have known how traumatic the experience was for her. Now, it felt like opening a can of worms.I have a ton of men at my disposal. They can investigate it until I get the answers I need. It may take time, but I know we can get to the bottom of it."What is this all about?" Yvonne asked, breaking the quiet tension between us.I sighed."Nothing," I muttered. "I just wanted to make sure everything is settled before we move on with our lives."Something flashed in her eyes but it was gone before I could figure it out."I see," she nodded with a faraway look in her eyes.She looked at m

YVONNE"It's about Anne Hechter," he said.My whole body turned rigid all of a sudden. Anne Hechter...That's... She's..."I don't want anything to do with her," I almost didn't recognize my voice when I spoke."No," he sighed. "I just wanted to ask you some questions. You don't need to worry about her. She's already in jail and won't be out anytime soon.""W-what do you mean?" I confusedly asked. She's imprisoned?"She's already facing the consequences of her actions. She's being charged with human trafficking and other drug-related cases," Vladimir carefully explained while watching out for my reaction.I was dumbfounded. I didn't know how to react. His words sounded gibberish to my ears that I find it hard to process. I stared back at Vladimir while waiting for him to talk again.I don't know what's going on. Why is he suddenly interested in my... mother? The thought left a bitter taste on my tongue."Did you file the cases?" I asked.He slowly nodded as if he was scared of what my

YVONNE"The invites were already sent," Dave said.We were in the middle of a meeting regarding the nearing opening of the shelter. We had invited big names, including businessmen and even local politicians.I am excited and worried at the same time. I have high hopes for this project. I wish I could execute it the way I have always envisioned it.I wanted it to be able to help as much as we could."How about the media coverage?" I asked.At first, I didn't want it to get this much attention, but LGC's PR team reached out to me about it. Apparently, the company needed the publicity to divert people's attention from Vladimir's divorce and cheating issues.He had been seen a few times with Riva and people suspected she was the third party and the reason behind the divorce. It's not a good look. I heard the stock prices dropped significantly ever since the rumors started spreading.I don't really understand how it works, but I guess I just have to carry out the orders. Vladimir mentioned
