Darkest Desires CHAPTER 47
YVONNEI fiddled with the phone Vladimir gave me. It took a while to familiarize myself with it as it is more modern than Cora's. It's also from a different brand but I soon got the hang of it.I haven't thanked Vladimir for this, though. He had been busy the past few days. He doesn't seem to be avoiding me anymore. We still see each other but only for short periods of time. If I wake up early, I eat breakfast with him. The same goes for nights when he comes home early. We eat dinner or drink wine together before retreating to our bedrooms.Our relationship became more casual. But we hadn't talked about what happened. Sometimes I am itching to ask about the ring I found but his reaction from that day stops me from doing so.I am also tempted to dig into it, especially now that I have internet access but I don't want to make the same mistake.I realized I didn't want to break his trust. I didn't have plans to escape either. I am probably doomed but this must be the best place for me.I
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 48
YVONNE"How have you been?" Dr. Linda asked, a ready smile on her face."Uhm, just fine," I muttered.She checked the results of the tests I had undergone. They all came out normal. She told me I have no hormonal imbalance whatsoever."Would you mind if I ask about your relationship with your husband?" she asked.I chewed on my bottom lip. I think it's a bad idea to have the same therapist for us. Why haven't I thought of that before? Now I'm afraid to tell her anything without thinking it might reach Vladimir."Uhm, it's... okay?" I answered hesitantly for the lack of things to say. Should I tell her about our contract marriage? Am I allowed to do that?"Can you tell me more about it? How's your sex life?" she asked.My cheeks heated up profusely as memories of our last bout rushed inside my perverted mind. It almost instantaneously racked my body temperature up."Uhm, what about it?" I asked, trying so hard to dodge the question but she wouldn't let me off the hook, would she?"How
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 49
YVONNEI felt exhausted when I got home. The session only lasted for an hour and a half, but I felt like it drained the living crap out of me. It was both mentally and emotionally taxing.I slumped on the couch in the living room, kicking my heels off my feet. I didn't think I had enough energy to make it to my bedroom, so I stayed there for a while, just staring into nothingness.The rumbling of my stomach woke me to a start. I blinked. It took a while before I realized that I had fallen asleep on the couch. I stretched and tilted my head from side to side. My neck felt a little stiff from the uncomfortable sleeping position.It was already dark outside. I can see the city lights from the glass wall of the penthouse. It would have been pitch dark inside if not for the automatic lighting system in Vladimir's unit.I went to the kitchen to eat. Cora usually prepares dinner before she leaves. I just have to reheat them in the microwave. I glanced at the watch while waiting for the food.
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 50
YVONNE"Why don't you join me instead?" I asked in my rehearsed, sultry voice.A seductive smile was painted on my lips as I stood proud in front of him. I have long forgotten about the cold. His piercing gaze on me was enough to pull my body temperature up. Now my skin felt burning under his scrutinizing gaze.I slowly walked to where he was standing. He remained there, watching me as I approached him. I stopped just a few inches away from him."Come on, Vlad," I muttered. "Let's take a dip. The water's nice.""Bullshit," he whispered which made me burst out in laughter. I think the effect of the wine still lingers in my body."Let me turn on the heater, then," I said, still chuckling."Sure," he lazily drawled, his eyes never leaving mine.I pouted. I didn't miss the sarcasm in his voice. Why though? How long does it take to heat an entire pool? Does it take hours? Ugh.I was already imagining how nice it would be to cuddle with him in the water under the clear night sky. I sighed.
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 51
VLADIMIRHow many times does she have to remind me of my impotence?Just looking at her fills me with this unbearable need. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to wake my buddy up.I wanted to laugh at how she was miserably failing to pretend like the cold wasn't bothering her. I can see how her lips turned blue. The water must be freezing cold but it must be what I needed right now after seeing her almost naked.Fuck. What is she trying to do?Who in their right mind will swim outside in the middle of fall? And she's only wearing her goddamn panties!Well, I guess it makes two of us since I agreed to swim with her. After the long day that I had, perhaps a swim will ease the tension in my body. I didn't stop until my limbs felt numb.I leaned at the edge of the pool while catching my breath. Then I decided to join her in the hot tub.Her eyes burned with desire as she stared me down. Damn this woman! Does she know what she's doing to me? I grabbed our drinks before deciding to join her.
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 52
YVONNE"Who are you, then?" I slurred.Damn. I'm drunk. I can feel my head spinning. The way he suddenly grabbed me only made it worse. Ugh. I almost finished the whole bottle!"I'm no hero," he coldly stated, bringing me back to the present."You are my hero!" I insisted."I am not a good man, Yvonne," he slowly stated, as if he wanted to reiterate what he meant to my thick skull.But I didn't understand. Or maybe I just didn't care. All I know is how I suddenly liked being called by that name. I love how the syllables roll on his tongue."You are," I nodded to convince him otherwise. "You just don't know it. No, you're trying to hide it, but deep inside," I pointed at his chest.Damn, it's hard. I was suddenly tempted to caress it. Shit, Yvonne. Stop it. I shook my head."Deep inside, you are a good man," I murmured. My thoughts are already heading elsewhere. I slowly slid my index finger down his pec.He grabbed my finger, pulling it away from his chest."You don't know what you're
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 53
YVONNE"It happened five years ago," he said.Five years ago?! My whole body was alerted when I heard what he said. Five years ago...Does that mean the death of his wife was connected to his erectile dysfunction? Was it the root cause of it?I gulped, bracing myself for what he was about to say.He kept quiet but I waited for him to say something. I didn't want to rush him. I could only guess how hard this must be for him. I could just imagine the trauma of accidentally killing someone you loved."I used to live the BDSM lifestyle," he began after a long stretch of silence between us.What does BDSM have anything to do with his wife's death? I wanted to ask but I decided to just listen to him."I discovered it when I was younger," he stated while staring into the dark horizon. "Some people that I used to work with introduced me to the community.""I was hesitant at first. It was something out of the norm," he paused. "But I felt compelled to attend to attend private parties due to wo
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 54
VLADIMIRRiva...The thought of her instantly awakened emotions I thought I had buried a long time ago. I'd buried it with her. Or so I thought. My jaw clenched repeatedly."Who is she?" I heard Yvonne gently ask.I glanced at her. She was looking at me as if she could find the answers written on my face. I looked away. I couldn't bear the weight of her stares. It felt like she could see right through my nonexistent soul. It's making me feel uncomfortable.I heaved out a long sigh."She's my late wife," I confirmed her suspicion. I knew what she was thinking. Her face mirrors what was inside her mind. She's that transparent."Oh," she nodded. Finally, she seemed to have run out of things to say.I leaned my head back on the edge of the tub. I closed my eyes and Riva's face instantly flashed behind my closed lids. In my mind, she was smiling at me. I can still remember her vividly.Her beauty was exceptional. From her beautifully tanned skin to her long brown hair that seemed to dance

VLADIMIR"Take me to the foundation," I growled as soon as I got into the car.The startled driver nodded when I slammed the door close.Fuck it! I just lost another deal! Fuck. Fuck!I pressed my fingers against my throbbing temple. I'm getting a headache from all of this!At first, I wanted to resort to violence. Noel and Hiroshi are still in the basement. I could let off some steam through them but then I thought of Yvonne. The foundation is closer to where I am now.The thought of her smiling as she did her job lessened my stress. If I could let off some steam in more pleasurable ways, why not?I went straight to her office, not minding the employees I walked past. They all greeted me, but I chose to ignore them.I grabbed her immediately. I nuzzled against her hair, inhaling her sweet, addicting vanilla scent. It must have a calming effect since it almost instantly calmed my nerves down."Uhm... Did something happen?" I heard her ask. I just made up a lousy excuse for wanting to
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 111
YVONNEThe construction of the shelter commenced almost immediately after it was approved. In the end, I chose the site in the suburban area over the one in the countryside.I'd be lying if I'd say Vladimir's past with Riva didn't affect my decision. But I chose it mostly because of the conveniences it offers. It would be more accessible for women seeking refuge compared to the one in the countryside where they have to travel for hours before they could reach.I personally oversee the progress from time to time while working on the foundation. With Dave's help, I am slowly learning the ropes of my job. I'm getting the hang of it. Now I can do a few tasks without his help.I flinched when I almost bumped into someone on the way to my office."Good morning, Yvonne," it turned out to be Mr. Anderson. Everything good in my morning faded at the sight of him.I clenched my jaw. I hadn't seen him in a while. I don't know where he was, but I wish he had just stayed there.I nodded curtly inst
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 110
YVONNEI stared at him. Was I too obvious?"What do you mean?" I chuckled awkwardly."I was just... Uhm, I still can't believe they approved the project, that's all," I grinned and tried to sound more enthusiastic.I plastered a smile on my face while he stared at me suspiciously. My upper lip quivered but I didn't dare move until he finally sighed and let the matter go.I sighed internally. I don't know how to tell him about my encounter earlier with Mr. Anderson.Have you ever heard of the Red Ring? His venomous voice still echoes inside my head. He knows.I don't know how. All I am certain is that he knew. He wouldn't dare speak to me about it if he wasn't confident. I'm sure he wouldn't want to provoke Vladimir over hearsay.But how? Was he a client of the ring? I don't know. I'm not sure. I may have had tons of clients but I can't recall any of their faces now.I used to block out everything as much as I could. I didn't want to remember the filthy things they did to me or the dis
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 109
VLADIMIR "We still couldn't track her down, boss," Blaze reported. My fists clenched. "How can an old woman disappear without a trace?" I hissed. "She has no connections! How hard is it to trace her whereabouts?!" my voice boomed inside my office. I was so fucking pissed. My men were turning into useless imbeciles these days! The harder it gets to find her, the more I think somebody's helping her. And I have to find out who it was before they can take any action against me. I'm sure they were using Yvonne's mother in the hopes that they could get to me through her. Well, they thought wrong.Did they? A small voice inside my head seemed to mock me. Hirushi's bloodied form in the basement flashed inside my head. My jaw clenched as I tried to push the image away. I didn't do it for Yvonne. It has nothing to do with her. I just don't like what the ring does in general. I despise people like them. Yes, I run a syndicate too. But I don't prey on the weak. I don't use helpless women
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 108
YVONNEOh god. This is it.I gulped. My legs were weakening from standing too long and the passing adrenaline, but I had to keep my stance."Those who are in favor of Project Eve, please raise your hands," Mr. Watson said authoritatively.Damn. This is the moment of truth.I looked down to briefly squeeze my eyes. I was a bit confident after the talk I had with Vlad before the meeting, but Jade made some valid points. And she also has a huge connection to Vladimir.I won't be surprised if the board would be torn about their decision. I took a deep breath before looking up.I sighed in relief when I saw that almost everyone in the conference room raised their hands in favor of the shelter, including Mr. Watson himself. I couldn't help but smile."We have a decision then," Mr. Watson said upon looking around. He then looked back at me and smiled."Congratulations, Mrs. Lewis," he genuinely said while firmly shaking my hand."Thank you," I nodded. I can't believe I made it.I know Vladim
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 107
YVONNE"Yes, Miss Foster?" I called to let her speak."This is a good idea," she started.I could already hear the but in her statement. She glanced at the papers in her hand. I can feel butterflies in my stomach while waiting for whatever she has to say. And they're not the good kind.The dramatic pause is killing me. I tried to brace myself from the possible blow she would give me."Although, I don't think it's necessary to start another advocacy that is out of line from what we are already doing," she said.I can see some of the members of the board glancing at each other. I don't know what they were thinking right now.Shit. I didn't expect this."LGC Foundation is already known for educational and health causes. I think we should focus on that," Jade said so confidently, that I had the urge to just cower in fear and hide in a corner.But since I couldn't do that, I took a deep breath instead and tried to process her words. I gathered my thoughts while I let her finish her comment
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 106
YVONNE I stood in front of the conference room even though it was just us. Dave set up the projector while my secretary put the hard copies in front of each seat. I took a deep breath while going over the presentation inside my head. "You can do this," Dave encouragingly said. I tried to smile. "Would you like coffee or water?" Jane, my secretary asked. "Just some water, please," I said before taking a seat. One by one, the board of directors started coming into the conference room. My heart beats faster every time someone comes in. "Good morning," I greeted back and nodded to each of them. "Relax," I heard Dave whisper behind me. "You look tensed." I tried to do as he said, but at that moment, Jade walked into the conference room. I frowned. I didn't know she would be here. When our gazes met, I tried to smile, but she only gave me a curt nod. Soon, all the chairs around the long table were slowly filled. My heart is already hammering inside my chest. I badly wanted to run
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 105
YVONNE"Let's go," Vladimir said when he saw me emerge from the hallway.He's also ready to leave. His three-piece black suit was stark in contrast with my all-white ensemble.My heart seemed to take a leap when he held his arm out to me. I smiled and placed my own against it hesitantly."Are you ready?" he asked."Yeah," I sighed.Dave told me everything I had to do. He even gave me a script to follow and the possible questions the board might ask during the presentation. Of course, he also curated well-crafted answers for them which I tried to memorize to the best that I could.We went out of the building together. His car was there together with two more SUVs. "I'm going to drive you there," he answered my unvoiced question. He must have noticed my confusion when he ushered me to his car. I thought I would be using one of the SUVs."But... Don't you have work?" I stupidly asked.
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 104
YVONNEIt's dumbfounding how our relationship seemed to have drastically changed in such a short amount of time. We are now like any normal couple out there. Although, I have very little knowledge about what a normal relationship felt like, ours seemed like one.Vladimir was acting like a completely different person. He is not the cold man I married a few months ago. Perhaps it has everything to do with his cured condition. He wasn't impotent anymore.Could you imagine, he just released five years' worth of pent-up cum?! Of course, he was relieved! I winced at the thought.We've been back from our vacation for about a week now. Everything's going smoothly between us ever since. I almost moved into his room, but tonight, he hadn't come home yet, so I decided to stay in my bedroom.My lids were already getting heavy when I heard the door creak. I was so sleepy so I just ignored it. I only opened my eyes when I felt someone stroking the wet s
