Darkest Desires CHAPTER 56
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
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 57
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
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 58
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
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 59
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
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 60
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
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 61
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
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 62
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
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 63
"Let's go," he said when he stopped in front of me."Okay," I murmured.I stood up and walked beside him. I don't understand why I suddenly felt numb and empty. "What's the matter?" I heard him ask.There was a deep frown on his forehead when I looked at him. I just noticed that we were already in front of his car. He had opened the door to my side and was probably waiting for me to get in."Nothing," I tried to smile and shook my head before quietly sliding into the passenger's seat. I watched him walk to his side but looked away when he sat beside me.I stared out the window when he started driving. I wasn't familiar with the place. I didn't know where we were heading. I don't think I cared anymore. It would be better if we just go back to his penthouse. All I wanted was to jump into my bed and wrap myself under the thick blanket.I didn't dare utter another word. My mood was entirely ruined. The silence felt so awkward. I sighed and decided to play some music again when I couldn't

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
