“Daniel, I'm tired. I want to sleep. Let's talk tomorrow, okay?” I said calmly, fearing what he would do if I provoked him again. Daniel looked at me, his face searching if I was sincere.
“Okay, let's talk tomorrow.” He made a gesture to kiss my cheeks but caught me off guard, kissing me on the lips. I had never felt so disgusted by a kiss. I shoved him off with all my might, but he wouldn't bulge. I began to panic when he pinned me to the wall, his hands moving under my nightgown and touching me. No! He was going to take advantage of me. I bit him and slapped him hard across the face. “Don't touch me with those filthy hands, you moron,” I roared and began to struggle out of his embrace. “Don't make me angry, Alexa; you are my wife, and I shall have you whenever I want,” Daniel said menacingly and picked me up, throwing me roughly onto the bed and making me feel dizzy. Before I could come to my senses, he had climbed the bed, hovering over me and pinning me under his body. Tears were rolling down my cheeks at this point. “Don't do this, please,” I said, my voice choking. Daniel just looked at me and smiled, his fingers stroking my face. “Why didn't you show such meekness before, dear? If you had been as obedient as you are now, it would not have gotten to this. But what can I do? Your cries are turning me on. Don't worry, I'll be gentle.” I heard a click sound and felt something cold on my wrist and realized my left wrist was cuffed to the bedpost. I began trashing myself hysterically against him, but he held me down. “You don't want to see my rough side,'' Daniel whispered into my ear. His voice held a warning, “I said I would be gentle. You will enjoy this." My eyes widened, realization dawning on me: he was really going to take advantage of me. “I would scream, and the staff would hear it and come up here." I threatened, my heart beating due to nervousness. "Sorry, I forgot to tell you. I gave the staff the rest of the day off; we are the only ones in this house. I told them I wanted some alone time with you.” He said, smiling like the devil. I just laid there stiffly and gave up. There's nothing I can do after all. “Good girl,” he said and tore my nightgown, his eyes roaming all over my body. And he started sucking my breast, his other hand fondling my other breast and giving it equal attention. I held back the moan, trying to break out of my lips. I felt disgusted with myself for enjoying this. “Don't hold back, dear; I know you are enjoying this," Daniel whispered, his voice hoarse. I kept quiet, ignoring his taunts. I could see he was enjoying this as he began trailing kisses on my navel down my stomach and placed a kiss right above my cunt. He inserted his finger slowly inside me, twirling and gliding it in and out of me, fucking my cunt with his finger. Only the shame I felt was holding me back from pushing up my hips against his fingers. He then started to lick and suck my breast again, making me let out moans I couldn't hold in. He smirked and drawled lazily. “I can see you are enjoying the touch of my filthy hands on you; tsk.. tsk, don't tell me you want my filthy dick inside you too,” he pulled out his fingers, which were glistening with my juices, and added, “You are wet, dear. I never knew you were so dirty, seeing how you like filthy things.” I was so angry about his words that all the euphoria I was feeling died down, bringing me to my senses. “You make me sick, you bastard!” I spat angrily at him. Mostly at myself. “Really? Then let's see how sick I can make you.” He scoffed and thrust his cock roughly into cunt. My cunt felt as if it were on fire, but he never stopped and continued to thrust in and out my cunt roughly like a beast. I just laid there, my self-esteem gone, until he grunted having his release and got off me. If I had not climaxed, I might have called him a beast for forcing me against my will, but the fact that I enjoyed it brought me an immense sense of shame. He stood by the bed and smiled, looking down at me. “I'm sorry, dear. Look at what you made me do. But I know you enjoyed it. I love you too much to let you go. Don't ever bring up a divorce again, hmm,” he said and patted my hair, freed my wrist, and added, “I'm going back to the office; take a rest.” He turned and made his way out of the room, finally leaving me alone. I remained on the bed like a statue, not moving a muscle; I was too tired to try. I felt cold both physically and emotionally.Daniel's POVI sped on the road heading to my office; what have I done? I parked my car in the parking lot of Cooper Industries and entered the private elevator, which took me straight to my floor. I opened my office, walked straight to my desk, and sat down. I lit up a cigarette and slumped into the chair. I hope Alexa never brings up the divorce again. This was the wrong time for a divorce, and she also wants to go for treatment. I ran my hands through my hair. What would happen if she found out the cancer was benign and not as serious as the doctor had made it out to be? Her condition did not even need treatment. What if she finds out I was behind that too? Who dared to send those pictures to her? Is it a business rival? There has been news of a merger between my company and Jones Corp. Even though many people do not know Alexa is the CEO of Jones Corp. because her father is still the chairman, a few trusted members of high society in Millennium City know she is the true boss,
ALEXA'S POV I don't know when I fell asleep and had a fever. For the first half of the night, I kept dreaming about when I met Daniel until now. I dreamt about how he changed just a few months after our marriage and how insecure his actions were making me feel until I found out I had cancer. He changed for a while, but it didn't last long. He was always busy making me suspicious, until I finally hired a private investigator. The scenes kept changing and replaying over and over again until they stuck on the day Daniel proposed to me. Daniel's eyes were gentle as he held my hands, going down on one knee. “Alexa, I know you don't believe in marriage. I know you're already okay with what we have without putting a label on it, but I really can't help it. I want you all to myself. I want to be the one who loves and pampers you. Even if you have an identical twin, I only want you in my life. Please say yes.” I dreamt about the hesitation I felt at the time, but after seeing that all the
Elena said she was really crying at this point. I sat there, analyzing Elena carefully. Why would she go to such extremes? Did she fear Daniel that much? Is there more to Daniel than meets the eye? How can I make her tell me the truth? I wondered. I stood up from my desk with an intimidating look on my face and slammed the desk fiercely. ‘Ouch, my palms hurt’ but I maintained my poker face and sneered at Elena, looking down at her in her kneeling position. I saw how she flinched when I hit the desk and saw a way out. “Do you think I believe your lies? That you have nothing to do with my husband? Whatever Daniel threatened you with, I can do it, and mine might be worse. You could be kidnapped one day and be raped and tortured until you die a painful but slow death. I will make sure the kidnappers carve your beautiful face and disfigure you so that you wouldn't seduce people's husbands even in hell. I have the money and means to do that, and you know I can." I looked at her pale fac
DANIEL'S POV 10 hours ago*** I stared through the glass window at the scene outside my office. The weather was beautiful compared to my mood. I was waiting for news from Elena after her conversation with Alexa. I have a meeting around 11 a.m. at Jones Corp and I hope Alexa will have no doubts by then, and she will sign her shares over to me. I looked at the bouquet of flowers and diamond necklace I would give to Alexa on my desk and imagined how happy she would be when she received it. Plus, she would be feeling guilty for not believing my words and would be so happy that I was not making a fuss and still showering her with gifts. A smile broke on my face when I thought about how much more powerful I'd be after I have the Jones Corp. shares in my hands. I checked the time and found it was almost 10 a.m. ‘Why is Elena still not back yet?’ I wondered. I took out my phone to give her a call when a knock came from the door. It was Lawrence Cooper, my pain in the ass half brother and
I arrived at the location and got to Elena's apartment. I pounded on the door several times, but got no response. I entered the door lock code and managed to enter. The room was dark as if it were in the night and had a strong smell of alcohol. I switched on the lights and saw Elena sitting on the carpet with several beer cans around her, most of them looking empty. I approached her and called out, “Elena, what is the meaning of this?” She flinched at the sound of my voice and tried to stand up but fell on the floor drunkenly, and then she crawled to my feet, holding my legs. “Daniel, please believe me; you have to believe me; I did what you told me to do. I really told her there was nothing between us, but she didn't believe it. Look, she even slapped me.” She answered, slurring, but her words were still discernible. “You mean you admitted to her that we are having an affair?” I asked angrily and kicked her, running my hands through my hair. She fell backwards, her hands covering
Alexa's POV I woke up feeling groggy and out of sorts. I felt uncomfortable and tried to turn on my side, but realized I was tied up and gagged. My eyes moved about, and I realized I was still in my room, but both my wrists were bound to the bedpost, and there was a cloth tied between my lips behind my head. Then I remembered what had happened. Daniel did this to me: ‘What did he want to do?’ The thought filled me with dread. I tried to shout, but only muffled sounds came out. “Don't bother shouting; no one would hear you.” I looked up and saw Daniel's cold gaze looking at me from a seat across the bed; his voice sounded dangerous, making a shiver run down my spine. I had not noticed him in my panic. I looked up at the man in front of me and realized how foolish I had been. I didn't even protect myself properly from him; I thought he would not take it so far and let down my guard. After all the years I had spent together with him, I still wanted to believe there were some genuine fe
I took in as much air as my lungs could take and moved away from him until my back hit the headboard of the bed, my cheek hurt, and blood filled my mouth from the corner of my lips. I nearly gave up on my plan, but it was too late to stop now. “You mean you worked hard and manipulated things in your favor to get to your position, and now you are coveting my shares using manipulation because you are not even a decent person, right? You cheat and manipulate things in your favor,” I sneered with forced bravado, my throat hurting from trying to sound strong. Daniel looked like a demon, with his dark gaze fixed on me. “Don't provoke me, Alexa. You don't want to see my ugly side,” Daniel warned. But how could I stop? I was just getting started. “What would you do if I did? Are you going to kill me, beat me to a pulp, or force yourself on me and rape me?” I yelled, my voice hoarse from pain. Daniel scoffed, “Rape? You call something you enjoyed rape? Are you in denial because you enjoyed
I woke up with the pungent smell of disinfectant and medicine invading my nostrils. The room was silent except for my heavy breathing and a beeping sound from the machines in the hospital. I slowly opened my eyes, squinting in an attempt to clearly see the blurry image in front of me. I felt something on my head, moved my hands up to feel it, and winced when the needle in my arm pricked me. "Alexa, you are awake,” said the voice of my father, who was standing by my bed now. “How are you feeling?" he added. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” “I'm fine, dad, thank you,” I managed to say, my voice sounding dry and hoarse. My father turned around and brought me a cup of water. "Sorry, dear, have some water. I will tell Carl to bring you some food. You must be hungry,” my father said. He went out and came back soon afterwards and started fussing about how I was feeling, and the doctor was also summoned. I looked at my father fussing over me, and warmth flowed into my heart. I knew my
