Darkest Desires CHAPTER 70
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
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 71
VLADIMIR"How is he?" I asked Blaze, not because I was concerned.I just don't want him to die. Not just yet."Still breathing, boss," he chuckled.I tilted my head from side to side, clicking my neck in the process. There had been a lot of trouble in my underground business recently, which was causing me a lot of stress. I could use blowing off some steam.I headed to the basement where Rodriguez was still held captive. It's been over a week since we caught him. He lost a lot of weight. He was black and blue all over. His face was puffed up. One of his eyes was swollen shut. Nobody would recognize him, not even his closest relatives.His hands were still chained together above him. I bet he couldn't feel them anymore."Is he fed?" I asked."Yeah," he nodded. "Just enough for him to survive."My nose scrunched up at the putrid scent that hit me when I got in front of his cell. The smell of dried blood, urine, and shit all mixed together. It was hell in itself."Next time, clean this u
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 72
YVONNE"I-is that blood?" I mumbled while staring at his shirt.I felt cold. Memories of how he killed a man rushed into my head. Did he kill someone again?He grabbed my hands, which were still frozen in front of him, and gently squeezed them.I gulped. I was still worried about the blood on his shirt, but the heat from his hands coursing through my skin was distracting me. Even though he looked like he had been through some serious shit, I couldn't help my stupid attraction towards him.Not even my fear can extinguish the spark of desire within me."Don't worry about it," he said. "It's nothing."He glanced at the files on the table."I see you're doing your homework," he comments. I knew he was trying to change the topic."Are you okay?" I couldn't help but ask. What if the blood was his? He looked exhausted, and god, what was that smell? He still smelled good, but there was a hint of something pungent lingering in the air around him. I can't tell what the smell was, but it was bad
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 73
Warning. Violent Scenes ahead.VLADIMIR"How the hell did this happen?!" my voice thundered, making almost everyone around me jump.Fuck! I just lost a couple of hundred million dollars! A regular client of mine backed out of our deal, and now I learned the reason behind it. He had been offered a much lower price for the same weapons, which would be impossible without suffering from significant loss as well.I gritted my teeth in annoyance. First, the police caught our huge shipment, then this. I don't think any of it was a coincidence. Someone is working double time to sabotage my dealings.Fuck it. I will kill whoever he is with my bare hands. He will regret ever messing with me!"We're already doing our best to find leads, boss," Blaze told me."Best?" I hissed. "You haven't even found who was behind the ambush of our shipment!"This has never happened before. Nobody dared cross me like this. I am one of the top dogs in the underground business. I have the biggest firearms and ammu
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 74
YVONNE"Are you ready?" Vladimir's low voice almost sounded like a grumble, making me jump in surprise.I didn't hear him enter my room. I was busy staring at my reflection in the mirror, admiring how the group of stylists changed how I looked tonight.The pure white gown fit me so well. The top resembled a suit with long sleeves and a deep v-neckline that almost reached my belly button. It was floor-length but with a long slit on the side. My hair was curled and swept to the left side of my shoulder. My make-up was sophisticated and done to perfection.Vladimir joined me. He stood behind me and gazed at my reflection. I gulped when his hands rested on my hip. Then he dipped his head into the crook of my neck. I bit my lip while slightly tilting my head to the side to give him more access.Damn, we look so hot. My lids felt heavy as I stared at us in the mirror."Fuck, can we ditch the gala tonight," he whispered while inhaling my scent. His wet lips touched my skin, causing goosebump
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 75
YVONNEI rolled my eyes at him when our gazes met through our reflection on the elevator wall. He didn't say anything, but his arm snaked behind my waist. He didn't let me go even when we stepped out of the elevator.A shiny, black limousine was waiting for us outside the building. His bodyguard opened the door. He helped me in before sitting beside me, his hand resting on my exposed thigh. A trail of heat coursed from his palm, spreading throughout my skin.I shifted in my seat, took a deep breath, and tried to calm myself down. I will take this as a test.Dr. Chapin has already prescribed antidepressants for me. I've been taking it religiously, along with our frequent sessions. Her first diagnosis was that I had complex post-traumatic stress disorder. She said I developed it from the prolonged exposure to traumatic events.My panic attacks and hypersexuality were just manifestations of my long-term trauma.Our talks had really helped me understand myself better. I am slowly learning
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 76
VLADIMIRShe looked terrified when I called her name. But the expression quickly vanished from her face, replaced by a confident smile as she strode towards the stage.I walked to meet her on the stairs to help her up. Her hand was ice cold when I held it."Relax," I whispered as we walked to where the microphone was.I heard her audible gasp. I squeezed her hand gently to remind her that I would be with her the whole time. She put on her best smile when she finally stood in front of the crowd. Had I not felt how cold her hands were, I wouldn't have thought she was nervous."Hello everyone," she chirped energetically while scanning the crowd with her eyes. "To our executives and directors, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, I hope you're all having a great time tonight."She glanced at me. I smiled at her encouragingly before she looked back at our audience."I am extremely excited to take on this new role," she stated in a clear voice. "This is a moment of personal honor fo
Darkest Desires CHAPTER 77
VLADIMIR"But," her voice died down with a gasp when I let my fingers work up to her bare, hairless crotch.It felt smooth to the touch. I wonder what treatments were done to achieve it. Or was it natural? I doubt it. The ring must have made women undergo a laser hair removal or something.Her breathing hitched as I slowly traced her slit with my fingertips. I gently massaged it, tentatively teasing her opening but not going in."Vlad," she mewled. Her voice was muffled when she shoved her face to my chest.She whimpered when I taunted her clit by drawing circles around the tight nub with the pad of my index finger. She buried her face into my chest even more, her hands clutched tightly on my suit.I kept my head straight, making sure no one would notice what I was doing even though the thought of somebody catching us added to the thrill of it all.I slowly caressed her slit with my middle finger while still playing with her clit. She was already drenched. I could feel her juices comin

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
