"I fucking killed her!" That's all I fucking know!I felt Yvonne flinch but instead of retreating away from me, she even moved closer to hold me, trying to comfort me."I must have pulled too hard on her collar. I don't know! I don't know!" I pulled my hair in frustration.Oklahoma. That was her safe word. It was where we first met. She was the one who chose it.I never heard her say that word, not in any of our sessions. Not even during that night. But how would I know?I was way too consumed by lust. I cared about nothing but reaching my climax!I didn't even bother to check on her while we were at it. I just kept pounding on her as hard as I could while holding her waist and hands to keep her from falling. I was too busy chasing for my release.Even if she did say her safe word, how would I hear it when she had a gag strapped to her mouth? There was no way I would even notice it.All I could hear was the animalistic groan coming out of my throat when I finally reached my orgasm."W
YVONNEI don't know how to react after everything that I heard.It felt like having the most complicated rollercoaster ride. At first, curiosity filled my whole being until he started describing Riva. He didn't say much but the tone in his voice and the sparkle in his eyes told me how much he was smitten, right from the start.It made me wonder what his first impression of me was. He said Riva seemed to be the perfect submissive. I can't see myself being one. I don't look innocent and I can be as stubborn as fuck if I wanted to. But he told me I made his dick react when he first saw me...I winced. Should I be proud of that?I shook my head a little, focusing on him as he kept telling me about how their relationship blossomed into something more.My curiosity was slowly replaced by a sense of insecurity and an unexplainable tinge of pain in my gut. I don't understand why it hurt to listen to him describing his relationship with her. Why does he need to tell me that?Where is this even
YVONNE"Stay with me," he said. He voiced it out as a command but his pleading eyes contradicted his tone."Okay," I mumbled without thinking.He didn't let my arm go. He held me until we reached his bedroom. I gulped as memories of the last time I was here flooded my mind.I glanced at him. I don't think he recalls it the way I do.He opened the door and gently pushed me in. I suddenly remembered how I was only covered in a robe with nothing but underwear."Uhm, I'll get something to wear," I said but he shook his head."Just take anything from my closet," he grumbled.I pouted.Nothing would fit me! I wanted to tell him but I'm sure he would just dismiss it. I looked around his bedroom, not knowing what to do. My wet hair is dripping into the carpeted floor but he didn't seem to mind it."Why are you just standing there?!" he snapped.I looked at him confused. How would I know what to do? He just pulled me here!"Tss," he clicked his tongue before dragging me one more time.He pulle
YVONNEI couldn't breathe.I opened my eyes just to see an oddly familiar face. It took a while before I realized who she was..."Mom," I mumbled. My whole body turned cold when an evil smirk curled on her wrinkled lips.It's been ages since the last time I'd seen her. She's gotten so old from how I remember her. But...What the hell is she doing here?!"How did you escape the syndicate, huh?" she hissed as her hands tightened around my neck.I grabbed her, trying to pry her away from me."Let me go!" I struggled to get the words out of my mouth."No!" she laughed maniacally. "I will sell you back there! I need more money!" she laughed hysterically.Fear crept into my whole body, immobilizing me. I couldn't move. What's happening?"Vladimir!"I was gasping for air when I opened my eyes. A fucking dream! That's what it was.A nightmare!I stared at the ceiling for a while, still trying to catch my breath. Why can't I breathe properly?That's when I realized that Vladimir's arm lay abov
She walked in as if she didn't hear a thing. She even had the guts to bump my shoulder as she walked past me.What the hell?My mouth parted in shock. I stared at her back in disbelief. Wow. Why do I suddenly feel like a mistress who was caught by the legal wife?The nerve of that woman."You have a visitor, honey," I yelled behind her back.I walked faster so that I could get ahead of her. I noticed how she seemed lost while looking around the unit. This must be her first time here.Well, that's good to know. At least now I know that Vladimir hadn't brought her here ever! But what is she doing here?I led the way to the dining area where I left him with his coffee."What are you doing here?" he asked when his eye landed behind me. It seemed like he didn't expect her either.I shrugged even though I wanted to laugh. He looked so annoyed to see her. "Would you like something to drink? Coffee?" I asked her, acting like a hospitable mistress of the house."No, thanks," she spat. One of
YVONNEI was left alone in the unit after Vladimir left. I wanted to beg him to stay but I knew I had no right to do that. Just because he confessed his darkest secret to me doesn't mean we grew closer. I have to tell myself that over and over again.But now I have nothing to do. I regret why I sent Cora home. At least I wouldn't be so bored with her around.Now I have to think of ways to entertain myself or else I would go insane thinking where Vladimir and Jade went. It must be about business but my dirty mind couldn't help but think otherwise.I decided to lounge in the living room while browsing on my phone. But I got bored easily. I tossed my phone aside and just gawked outside the glass wall.I didn't know how long I was sitting there when I suddenly heard the door open. My eyes widened when I saw Vladimir walking in.A frown etched on his face when he saw me. I just stared back at him. Why is he back so early?I glanced at the wall clock. It's only past two in the afternoon. He
VLADIMIR"How the hell did this happen?" I growled when I got to the warehouse, my voice booming in the huge underground facility.Jade went to my unit to inform me about the shipment that was intercepted by the police this morning. They were trying to contact me but I was fucking asleep!I ground my teeth while thinking who could have done this? That was a large shipment of high-caliber firearms costing millions of dollars!I have fucking deadlines to meet. Big-time clients were waiting for that shipment!Someone is trying to sabotage me. This has never happened before. I have high-ranking police and politicians under my pocket. I am paying a huge sum to ensure things like this never happen!"We were ambushed, Boss," one of my men stated.My jaw clenched. There has to be a mole. Nobody knew the details of this shipment except for my most trusted people."Did you call Cortez?" I snapped at Jade. James Cortez is a lieutenant colonel under my payroll. He's the highest-ranking police off
YVONNEMy heart clenched as we walked into the cemetery. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. I can't believe I assumed he would take me out on a date. I must have been delusional for a while, but now my eyes are wide open.I glanced at Vladimir. He was awfully quiet. I don't know why he took me here if he will ignore my presence. Perhaps he even forgot that I was here with him. He just kept on walking as if reminiscing about the good old days. While there I was, utterly annoyed at how the pointed heels of my stilettos kept sinking on the ground.He should have at least warned me. He saw what I was wearing before we left. He could have told me to change. That's the least he could have done!Damn him!Ugh! I took a deep breath to calm myself down. I looked around. It's a good thing this place looked really nice for a cemetery. It looked more like a nature park with all the trees and flowering plants. Uniform tombstones were neatly lined across the grass. It looked like a fre
YVONNEHow is this even possible? Am I hallucinating?I know I've only seen her in pictures, but...I glanced at Vladimir. Looking at his shocked and pained expression, I knew I was right. It was Riva standing behind the second-floor railing."Dad, stop this! What else do you want?" she cried, weakly sliding onto the floor. I don't think she noticed Vladimir yet."Hush, mia cara," her father cooed before turning to Vlad who still hadn't recovered from his shock.I couldn't blame him. Even I was left gaping at the scene unfolding right before my very eyes."Did you miss Riva?" her father taunted him.A loud gasp echoed. I looked up to see Riva staring back at Vlad. My heart clenched painfully when I saw the longing in her eyes, which mirrored the same expression in Vlad's. The more I stare at them, the more real it gets. She's alive. Riva is alive. I felt an inexplicable stabbing pain in my chest."V-vlad," she called, her voice sounded pleading.Her father gestured something and the
YVONNEWhat the hell is going on?!I tried to call for help but the car made a sharp turn, causing my head to hit on the door.Damn it! I groaned in pain as I felt the car going faster. The speed and the hit on my head made me a little dizzy. Despite that, I still tried to look outside to see where we were heading but couldn't see anything clearly.It was dark and we were going so fast. I grabbed onto the door handle when the man suddenly hit the brake. I almost slammed into the back of the shotgun seat. "Where are we going?" I asked while looking at the man who had taken me. He was wearing a ski mask, making it impossible for me to recognize him.Is this Raoul, Riva's brother?"Who are you? Why are you doing this?!" I cried but he didn't bother to respond. He just kept on driving as if he were in a race.Memories from the last time I was kidnapped replayed in my head like a broken record. No. I won't let it happen again. I looked for something I could use in the backseat. My eyes wi
VLADIMIR"Which of your wives are you looking for?" he smirked. The daunting smile on his crooked lips told me he knew something I didn't."What the hell are you talking about?" I grunted impatiently. I looked around, hoping to see Yvonne, but she was not anywhere in sight. What is he planning to do to her?"Oh," he clutched his chest as if he was in pain. "Have you already forgotten about my daughter? You're hurting my feelings, Vladimir," he chuckled.I frowned. Why is he acting like this? Is he taking his daughter's death lightly or is he mocking me?Fuck him."Let Yvonne go," I growled. "She should be out of this. Whatever happened in the past has nothing to do with her!""Do you think I didn't know that?" he chuckled humorlessly. "But you are in no position to give me orders. You are in my territory. I can get you killed in a snap of a finger."Well, that's what he thinks."Tell me, did you really forget about my precious daughter?" he asked. "Don't you think it's insulting that
VLADIMIRI wanted to be with her. Today, a press conference will be held to address the issue of Yvonne's past and real identity. It had been a hot topic in the business world and started to affect the value of our stocks in the market.Yvonne wanted to speak the truth about the issue. I was advised by the company's public relations director against it, but I still went on with my decision. I know this is a big deal for her and I wanted to be by her side.Unfortunately, I couldn't.Blaze just called me. They already knew where Leon Vitelli was hiding. We needed to quickly devise a plan to take him down. I have to be there to ensure he will be caught."He was spotted going into a warehouse near the bay this afternoon," Blaze pointed at the large map on the screen."We already planted a mole inside," he added."Good," I calmly nodded even though the gears in my head were turning rapidly.We talked about how we were going to capture Leon and his son, Raoul. I clenched my teeth when Riva's
YVONNEI covered my ears with my hands. I can feel the car shaking with the force of the gunshots coming from high-caliber guns. I know Vladimir's cars were all bulletproofed. But would it really last from this kind of attack? It felt like the glass was being hammered by the raining bullets. "What's happening?!" I asked no one in particular. My voice trembled with fear. Aside from Matias who sits with me on the backseat, we have a driver and another member of the security team riding shotgun.It didn't do anything to make me feel safer though. I know they are all capable and well-trained but this scene seemed to be straight out of a damn action movie!"We're getting ambushed," Matias hissed.I tried to peek outside despite the paralyzing fear taking over my body. I immediately saw three black vans parked in front of us, blocking us from driving forward! Most of the shots were coming from them.I shrieked and ducked when a louder noise came up. Shit! I feel like the windshield is goin
YVONNEI breathe heavily, taking in a lungful of air hoping it would somehow calm the brewing storm inside me. I am sitting backstage waiting for my cue to come out.I fidgeted my fingers on my lap. My palms were cold and sweating. I had taken a peek earlier and saw how many people were eagerly waiting outside. I took another breath."You can do this," I whispered.Vladimir agreed to my request. The company's PR team arranged a press conference to address the issue. I am given a chance to tell my side of the story. I can speak out my truth.I don't know how it would turn out in the end, but that doesn't matter now. This is me taking back the reins of my life. This is me taking the first step to get my freedom back.I know not everyone will understand. Speaking up will not magically turn the situation around. I know that. I have prepared myself for that. ,q1My heart thumped wildly inside my chest. This is gonna cause too much trouble. Vlad might hand me the divorce papers after this.
YVONNE I love you... The realization hit me like a bullet train. Damn it! The euphoric feeling from the mind-blowing orgasm he gave me quickly dissipated into the air.You're so stupid, Yvonne! I bit my tongue as I cursed myself internally. I almost said it out loud at the height of my emotions. I am still gasping for air while he gently rolled off me.He put his arm under my head, then pulled me closer. I looked at him. His eyes were closed while catching his breath. There were beads of sweat on his forehead due to the strenuous activity we just finished. He must be running for the hills now if he heard me say those words.I wouldn't blame him if that happened. Even I find it ridiculous! I wanted to laugh even though I didn't find it funny. But do I mean it? Do I really love him? I thought while staring at him.Love. It sounded foreign. I didn't know it was part of my dictionary until now. I don't think I ever felt it. Nobody ever loved me. I never loved anyone either. Love was
YVONNE"What the hell are you doing?" I muttered bitterly while watching her spout nonsense helplessly."Yes, the rumors are true," she confidently said with her head held high. "She's nothing but a gold-digging slut!"My hand trembled. I wanted to yell at her. Where did she get the audacity to say all these things? Why is she doing this?Why do I have to ask? Of course, she's doing it for money. Honestly, I shouldn't be surprised anymore. She sold me, her flesh and blood, for a few thousand bucks. What's stopping her from giving an interview in exchange for cash?"She's an ungrateful bitch who forgot about her own mother! Me!" she cried. "I raised her-"The sound was cut off when someone suddenly grabbed the phone from my hand."What are you doing?" I heard Cora exclaim. "You should be resting!" she gently scolded me.I didn't say anything. I still haven't recovered from what I've seen."Hey, don't worry," she said as she gently squeezed my hand. "I'm sure Vladimir will take care of
YVONNEMy heart immediately sank when I woke up alone. I really thought Vlad had come home and slept beside me."Where is he?" I asked myself while staring at the empty space beside me.It didn't look like someone slept on it last night. I must have been dreaming when I thought that he was here. I sighed as I felt my heart twitch painfully.I forced myself to get out of bed after checking the time. It's still early in the morning. He must still be here! I walked out and hurried to his bedroom. Damn, I miss him so much, I feel like I will die if I don't see him soon. I slammed the door open only to be greeted with silence. His bed was made.Didn't he come home last night?"Vlad?" I gently called, even though, deep down inside me, I knew he wasn't there.With a heavy weight on my heart, I got out and tried to look for him all over the unit. But my hope died a little every time I didn't see him in each room I checked. Why am I even wasting my time?He's not here.I heaved out a long sigh
