"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
YVONNEI had already sealed his lips with mine before he could argue. I felt him hold my waist to push me away but I deepened the kiss even more, plundering his mouth with my tongue.I tasted the cheese he had just eaten. I was right. It wasn't bitter. It was actually sweet.I came after his tongue. I wanted more of the taste. It took a while before I felt him fully surrender to my aggression. His hand held my face, kissing me deeper, his tongue tangling with mine."Ah," I moaned. This is it. This is what I need. Sensations. Pleasure...Not the drama nor any of those confusing feelings. This is all I'll ever need.I straddled him, my skirt hitched up to my hips. I aligned my pussy to his crotch, making sure that my already wet cunt was positioned directly over his flaccid cock before grinding ever so slowly. Teasing him.I heard him growl while I kissed him senselessly.Is this room soundproofed? Ah, who cares? Vladimir likes giving a show. How about we give this kind of show? For sur
YVONNEIt jerked. I'm sure it did.He seemed to have felt it too. I felt his body tense under my touch. I wasn't imagining. It really moved. I pulled away a little to stare at it. It remains the same. He's still as soft as a jelly.I glanced at him. His face was dark as he glared at his cock. His eyes were full of rage. It's as if he had evil plans if his cock wouldn't stand under my hand. What could he even do about it?No matter how much money he has, I don't think he could trade it for another one. "Vladimir," I croaked. "Let me," I whispered, my voice hoarse while our gazes fought for dominance.His eyes darkened as he stared down at me but said nothing. Silence means yes, right?I held him in a firm grip. Then I started slowly gliding my palm up and down while the other played with his balls. I bowed my head to reach the moist tip of his dick with my tongue. I sucked it tentatively, savoring the sweet and salty taste that dispersed on my taste buds.I definitely love the taste!
VLADIMIRI can't believe my dick still can't get up despite the amount of heavy foreplay that we did! Fucking useless!I glanced at Yvonne who was kneeling in front of me. She was a sight to behold. Her eyes were still dazed with desire. Her lips were plump and swollen from my brutal assaults. All of it for nothing!"Fuck!" I yelled. Suddenly, I wanted to tear the whole place down!I stared blankly at the broken pieces of glass scattered around us after I knocked down the table. Yvonne was shaking like a leaf beside me. I blew out an exasperated breath before pulling up my pants.My jaw tightened while I fixed myself. I didn't know what kind of evil came over me. I was beyond sexually frustrated. I hated how I held on to that false hope. I really thought I could finally get myself to have an erection."Vlad," Yvonne muttered beside me.I took a deep breath to calm myself before looking at her. "Did I hurt you?" I coldly asked. "No," she mumbled while slowly shaking her head.The knoc
VLADIMIR Victor Rodriguez. I will never be able to forget that name. I will remember it for the rest of my life. Even beyond that. I will probably search for him in hell just to kill him all over again. He was one of the instigators of what Yvonne went through. According to my investigator's report, newly recruited women in the ring were first groomed before they were forced into labor. At first, they only perform strip shows to tempt the clients, making them crave more. By doing so, they were able to make the women's value go up. On the succeeding nights, they will be auctioned. The highest bidder will be able to take the girls home. The first time Yvonne was auctioned, Victor Rodriguez won the bid. She was young and naive-looking. She used that to her advantage. She was able to escape before Rodriguez could take her home. That must be her biggest mistake. The ring wasn't very forgiving and so were the clients. It was stated in the contract that when a girl escapes while in a
VLADIMIR "I thought you didn't know me," I taunted. I stared at him, savoring the fear written all over his face. "I-I..." he was speechless. His mouth opened and closed a few times as if he wanted to say something, but he could not come up with anything. "What? Cat got your tongue?" I sneered. "I- I don't owe anything to you!" he finally yelled, although he still stammered a little. "Are you sure?" I walked around him, taking slow, calculated steps while looking him up and down. According to his file, he was just a few years older than me, but his years were clearly showing on his body. His gray and thinning hair made him look older than he really was, and so did his beer belly. I don't think he could last long, considering the things I wanted done to him."Of course! I have nothing to do with you! Get me out of here!" he screamed while pulling his hands from the chains that bound them, but they wouldn't budge. I held my hand to Blaze, who gave me a piece of paper. I glanced at
YVONNEIt's been a long and exhausting day.I didn't know how long I was staring at the ceiling in my room. I quickly dived into my bed as soon as I finished relieving myself in the bathroom. My lust failed to die down even after what happened.Damn it. I wish Dr. Chapin could come up with a diagnosis as soon as possible. I couldn't wait to be treated. I already felt so disgusted, but I couldn't help it.Ugh. I should probably go back to her clinic. Am I allowed to go there without an appointment?I blew out an exasperated breath while recalling the events of the day. Why have I even thought of doing that? It was embarrassing, to say the least!I bit my lower lip. Damn. I could still taste Vladimir in my mouth. The mere thought of it was enough to send my body into a delirious heat. Thinking that I could somehow give him pleasure despite his condition was already an achievement for me.Achievement, huh?!I rolled to my stomach and pushed my face into the sheets. I'm going crazy. If V
YVONNE"What was that all about?" I asked Vladimir after Dave, his assistant, left."Didn't you ask for a job?" he asked sarcastically."Y-yeah," I stammered when his eyes focused on me. I felt my heart skip a freaking beat. "I did. But... I was thinking more of a secretarial job." I forced myself to explain no matter how difficult it was under his prying gaze."Did you think I would allow that?" his eyes narrowed. "You are my wife. What would people think if I will let you be some errand girl? And didn't you say you wanted to be productive?"I gulped."I'm afraid I'm underqualified for everything," I murmured."Of course you are," he snapped. My heart clenched a little, but I tried to ignore it. He was only spitting facts. I shouldn't be sensitive about it."That's why you have to work with Dave. He will teach you everything you have to know," he said."Do you think..." I trailed off. I bit my lip. I needed the pain to focus."Do you think I can do it?" I hesitantly asked. My voice 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
