YVONNE

What the hell is he talking about? Is he saying the caretaker isn't coming to cook for us?

Of course, I knew how to cook. I've been basically my mother's slave when I was young. But the last time I touched something in the kitchen was ages ago. Well, I do help Cora from time to time, but I usually just watch her.

The most I'd done to help was to prepare ingredients.

"The kitchen is fully stocked," he added. "Feel free to use anything you need."

He resumed ignoring me after that. I couldn't help but wince as I watched him greedily gulp the alcohol down his throat.

It's only lunchtime yet here he was, already drowning himself in alcohol. Did something happen? Who called him? He suddenly changed after that call.

What was that all about? Was it about business?

I wanted to ask but I don't think he'd appreciate that. I sighed and turned my laptop off. It was useless by the way, since I realized there was no internet connection here.

I begrudgingly went to the kitchen to see what I co

    YVONNE"Vladimir?!" I hissed after pulling his hand away from my mouth.It's him! I let out a sigh of relief.My nerves instantly calmed down when I realized it was him. I failed to recognize him sooner. Perhaps because his familiar scent was overwhelmed by the stink of the alcohol he drank. My senses were also still laced with slumber.But now I am fully awake!"What are you doing here?" I asked when I recovered from the shock. I thought he was going to use the other bedroom.My whole body stiffened when he suddenly wrapped his arms around me instead of answering my question. I could feel his weight on me but I didn't mind it.His face nuzzled into the crook of my neck. I could feel his warm breath fanning my skin. I couldn't stop myself from moaning when the rough ends of the stubble on his chin grazed my sensitive skin.I know he's saying something against my neck. Something I failed to understand. My mind ceased to comprehend. "Ssh," he whispered, making me squirm beneath him."M

    YVONNEHe's hard!What the hell? Is this for real?He pushed his jean-clad arousal against my swollen folds. The rough material of his clothes made me squirm."Vlad... Uh, Are you-" I couldn't finish because he kept distracting me with the full blast of his masculinity.My eyes rolled back behind my head when he thrust harder against my core. There are still a few layers of fabric between us but I can clearly feel his erection.Damn. He's big.Is this really happening? Or am I in the middle of a dream? Maybe."I want you..." he whispered huskily against my ear. His moist lips touched my sensitive skin. I swear I could come with just this.But no. I need more...With trembling hands, I grasped the hem of his shirt and tugged it upwards. He stopped kissing me when he felt what I wanted to do. He took off his shirt in one pull and carelessly tossed it on the floor.He then stood up while unzipping his pants. I watched him eagerly as he pulled down his pants in front of me. I licked my lip

    YVONNEBefore I could react, he already grabbed my waist and turned me over, switching our positions. Now I am pinned underneath him. My back was pressed into the soft mattress.I felt his hot breath on my neck when he pulled me closer to him. My skin burned as our bodies molded against each other. A thousand bolts crawled into my veins, making the hairs at the back of my neck stand to their ends."V-vlad," I whimpered helplessly. I was already blinded with utter desire.My cheeks burned when I felt him hard against my thigh. My core clenched. I think I would come right then and there.He showered me with wet, languid kisses. I was writhing and whimpering beneath him, lost in the sea of sensations he was making me feel."Ahh, shit," I immediately covered my mouth with my palm, trying to muffle my scandalous moans when I felt him playing with my core.He eased his fingers in and out in a slow, tempting rhythm. He was slowly driving me to insanity. But it still wasn't enough. I need mor

    YVONNEI felt his body limp against mine. I glanced back just to find that he had already fallen asleep. His weight nearly crushed me but I couldn't feel the pain.All I could feel was the gaping emptiness left inside my chest after hearing him call her name.Riva. I clenched my teeth, hoping to stop the pain that seemed to be ripping me from the inside out. I chuckled humorlessly before moving to push him off me. He fell to my side with a soft thud.I rolled over to look at him. His eyes are closed and his lips parted. A soft snore came out of his mouth. I wanted to punch him but didn't have the strength to do so.How could he do this to me?I wanted to cry and lash out. Instead, I stared at the ceiling after pulling the blanket to cover my nakedness. I let myself wallow in pain until it slowly turned into numbness."Who do you think you are?" I muttered to myself.Did I really think I was the reason behind his arousal? How could I make myself believe that I am his cure?I felt like

    VLADIMIRI woke up with a start. My head was pounding. I groaned and pushed myself up but froze when I realized there were limbs draped over me.I looked beside me and found Yvonne fast asleep. Slowly, I untangled her from me as fragmented memories from last night popped into my head.I frowned while staring at her. I tilted my head, trying to jog up my brain. Did it really happen?My nakedness seemed to confirm it. My now placid cock felt sticky with the evidence of what ensued between us.I don't know how to feel about it. I was frustrated because of my condition. I thought I wanted to be fixed. But now that it has happened, I felt torn.Immense guilt washed over me. I felt like I was cheating. But she's long gone..."Fuck this!" I grabbed and pulled my hair when my head throbbed.I called Mike. He's my head of security. He's the one I always bring with me together with his best men. I asked for hangover pills to be brought to my room.It took a while before I heard a soft knock on

    YVONNE"Does it hurt?" he asked while stroking my shoulder ever so gently.The way he touches my skin stirs something within me.I shook my head even though it does sting a little. I could feel my cheeks burning with utter embarrassment. Even my ears are heating up!Are we seriously talking about this while I am stark naked in front of him? He was already wearing his boxer shorts but I can still see most of his skin. I am trying my best to fix my gaze on his face but I am visibly failing!"I was too rough last night," he whispered, which brought fine shivers down to my back. I gulped.I am just speechless. I blinked a few times to think of something to say but I couldn't come up with any smart comeback!He just stopped my brain from functioning."Are you sure you're okay?" he huskily asked when I said nothing. I think I'm not the only one affected here. I can see the outline of the tent he was pitching down there.Damn it. His cock has really risen from the dead!I cleared my throat a

    YVONNE "Yvonne," Vladimir's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I quickly slid the photo back and closed the drawer. "Why?" I turned to look at him. "I-I'm looking for something to wear," I stuttered defensively.His jaw clenched as he looked at the open closet. Something cold seemed to have spilled in my stomach when I realized something. How could I be so dumb? Why haven't I thought of it?These clothes are hers! My hands fisted on my sides. I suddenly want to go home. But the thought of the penthouse as my home made me even more bitter. I have no home. I'm an outsider there. "Are you okay?" he frowned. "Can I borrow your shirt instead?" I asked. "Huh? What's the matter? There are plenty of clothes there. Most of those are new," he said. "Uhm, but they're too thin," I shrugged, struggling to make an excuse not to wear her clothes. It's probably the reason why Vladimir thought I was her last night. He was dead drunk. It was dark and I was wearing her clothes. It was definit

    VLADIMIR"Who are you talking to?!" I growled when I finally found Yvonne in the cabin's back deck.I've been looking for her all over the house. Yet here she is, leisurely passing the time through a video call.She sounded so excited to talk to whoever it was on the other line."It's Dave," she turned her laptop so the screen would face me.I hated how his name rolled out of her lips. My jaw clenched when I indeed saw him. Why are they talking to each other? Didn't they know this could compromise our safety?"Sir," he said when he saw me. I forced myself to nod in response before turning to Yvonne."Tuned that shit off," I grumbled in a low voice."But..." she was about to argue but I quickly cut her off by raising my hand."Fine," she sighed."I need to go, Dave," she told him. I was tempted to crush her fucking laptop with my hands. I didn't hear what Dave said.Perhaps he was smart enough not to fuel my anger. He'd been working for me for more than a decade. He knew me.She clicke

    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
