ADAM’S POVI entered inside of her, slamming myself raw into her waiting pussy. At a point, she tighten her pussy and closed her legs around my head.'I'm gonna explode if you don't stop,' she screamed as I continued forcefully.'I'm going to cum Adam,' she warned me again as I continued fucking her senseless.'Let's cum together my love,' I whispered and slammed into her, harder than before, increasing my pace.She screamed as I slammed into her the last time, her legs shaking from the orgasm. I chase my orgasm along with her.'That was terrific,' I said after catching my breath. I kissed her softly on her forehead and stood up, entering the bathroom.‘Don’t tell me you were admiring my butt cheeks,’ I said when I came out. I noticed her eyes had been fixed on my back since I left to use the toilet. 'Let's go to the bathroom,' I cooed and carried her out.I lifted her and she saw the blood that heaped on the white bedsheet. 'Did I do this?' She asked, her face heating up.'It's not
RICHARD'S POV’Sir, the rumours were true. Your brother, Adam is fucking Elizabeth, your mistress.’ The first guard told me when he stepped in.'Interesting,' I muttered. I gritted my teeth in anger. Adam had the nerve to steal what belonged to me. I will make him pay. 'Did the chef do as I requested?' I asked, staring at the guard. 'Yes, he did. He put it in slowly, barely enough to cause instant harm,' He said.Good. Adam will not know what hit him.'Also sir, your brother will soon be here. I heard Elizabeth just left his room this morning.’ he said hurriedly and left.I hated that I had to pretend to be a sickly figure, just to win Adam's trust. I can't wait for my plans to work.I lay down on the bed and anticipated his entrance.'I came here as fast as I could,' I hear him tell the doctor.'Well, his body is getting weaker and his condition is not improving one bit. I suggested something the last time I came here,' the doctor said, watching Adam carefully.'Well, I was occupied
ELIZABETH'S POVThe irony could not have been better. I never imagined falling in love with my greatest enemy and the murderer of my parents. I couldn't imagine why I had allowed myself to fall deeply with someone that I came to revenge against. I sigh as I remember how he bath me earlier, holding me like I was a fragile glass.I stood up and shaked my body. If my revenge plans were to work, then I needed to focus. Any distraction was detrimental to my plans.I also needed to get in contact with Lance and tell him about my plans. I know he will be worried sick about me, but I allowed my pride get to me after he got me angry.***'Use the vanilla oil this time,' Lizzy said to the two maidens preparing my bath. 'Why vanilla?' I asked while removing my clothes to enter the tub.'It's an alluring scent mistress. Trust me. Your husband will go crazy,' she said with a mischievous grin and stiffled her laugh. The other maidens laughed quietly while preparing the bath. I couldn't understand w
Elizabeth’s POV“Adam,” I whispered, but he was far too gone to hear me.I swallowed hard, my heart pounding as I obeyed, turning my back towards him.His fingers brushed along my skin, arousing my thirst for him.“Hands behind you,” he ordered. I hesitated, and he reached out, pulling my hand behind me as I positioned myself.My ear caught on the sound of a clock, and I turned to peek. Adam had the leather cuffs out and smirked at me.He took his time fastening the cuff around my wrists and pulling them to make sure they were secured. I felt thrilled at the soft click of the lock.“Good girl,” he murmured, kissing my thighs, his warm breath teasing me.I closed my eyes as he placed a blindfold on me. The loss of sight heightened everything. I could hear the subtle shift of the mattress as he settled between my legs.Then, the first touch.A featherlight caress trailed down my back, making me arch into the sensation. But just as quickly, a sharp sting followed, the slap of a flogger a
Elizabeth's POV:My back straightened as I froze. I slowly turned, silently praying my expression didn't give me away.“I…ugh,” I stammered. “You scared me.”“Not my intention, but…” he said.Richard has a back for creeping me out.“You're awake,” I finally answered, smiling.“Yes, for a while,” he answered and I gulped.I breathes calmly getting my emotions in check.“I asked a question, Elizabeth,” he repeated.I smiled, thinking of a good lie. “I went out,” I answered.“Hmm,” he moaned and looked at me like he knew I was lying. “Is that so? That's not what I heard.”My heart pounded and my stomach twisted.I maintained my expression, pretending I didn't understand. “What do you mean?”He looked at his hands, then at me. I watched him shift in his bed, pushing himself slightly, and I became worried.Did he know? He couldn't possibly know I was with Adam all day.He coughed, and I rushed to him, pouring the water from the jug into the glass cup.I handed him the cup, watching him dri
Adam's POVWatching Richard trying to kiss Elizabeth made my skin crawl. I didn't want him anywhere near her. She was mine alone.I remained calm, holding the tray of food so as not to give away my feelings.Their eyes met mine and I walked forward, ignoring Elizabeth's silent pleading. “Hey,” my voice flowed as Richard’s eyes met mine.“I take it you came to see if I'm dead,” he replied, his face changing into a wicked smile.“That’s the doctor's job,” I answered and he caught the joke. He smiled and returned his gaze to Elizabeth.She tried to escape, moving back, but he held her face still with his fingers.“Where were we?” He asked. His voice taunting me.In every sense, I shouldn't feel different about it. But him being close to her made my temper rise. I hated the way he touched her. What was this feeling?My heart ached, but I remained still. Now wasn't the time to act.“Urgh…” Elizabeth groaned.“Do you see it, brother? My wife avoids my touch,” Richard said, not taking his
Elizabeth’s POVThe Coffee ShopLily sat at our usual table, fingers locked around a coffee cup, staring into it as if the answers to the universe swirled inside.A smile pushed its way onto my face, masking the unease clawing at my insides. My steps quickened toward her.“Lily,” I called, catching her attention and opening my arms for a hug.She flinched, rejecting me with a wave of her hand.Something was wrong. She had never acted like this before.My hands dropped and I frowned. “Lily, What's wrong?”She continued looking into her cup, not giving a response.“Are you going to talk?” I asked again, my fingers curled against the edge of the chair as I sat across from her. “Say something, will you?”She let out a sharp breath and lifted her gaze with a neutral look.“Why don’t you tell me?” She blurted.“Huh?” The words left my mouth before I could control them.“Lily, I didn't come all the way to answer riddles and guess your mind. I hate guessing games,” I confessed.She scoffed, s
Elizabeth’s POVShe pressed the stop button and smiled.“Lily, what are you doing?” I asked, my voice trembling.“Making sure I have deposits,” she answered.“This is insane,” I voiced and stood up to leave.“I wouldn't do that if I was you,” Lily warned, waving the phone. My eyes followed her movements, aiming for the right time to grab the phone.I sat waiting as she continued.“You help me into the house and get me to Adam, and then I'll think about deleting this,” Lily said.“You're supposed to be my friend,” I whispered, feeling betrayed.She shrugged, acting like I was an alien. “Are you going to do it or not?”The phone graced closer to my face, and I quickly reached for it. She moved it away in time.“You'll get your chance,” she mocked. “So? The time's ticking.”The seconds ran, and her fingers aimed at her screen.“Fine, I'll do it,” I answered.“Good girl,” she said, smiling.“Remember, I get close to Adam, and you stick with Richard.”“But…” I argued.“No, buts,” she cauti
Adam’s POVAs soon as Corinth made a run for it, the chase ensued.The guards immediately shouted orders, their heavy boots echoing on the marble floor as they pursued her. Corinth moved swiftly, weaving through the crowd with a sense of urgency that gave precision to her every action. Her arms pumped, and her legs propelled her forward as she ran down the hallway, holding on tightly to the stolen gun.I followed her at a measured pace. She was driven by survival instincts, but panic often leads to mistakes. She would eventually slip up, and I intended to be there when it happened.At the end of the corridor, Corinth took a sharp turn into another hallway. A guard lunged at her, barely grazing her sleeve, but she spun around, driving her elbow into his ribs. He grunted in pain and stumbled back, crashing into a glass cabinet that shattered, sending pieces of glass everywhere.Another guard was on her quickly, reaching for her arm, but she ducked, swinging the gun to connect with his j
Corinth’s POVThe kitchen was filled with the aroma of fresh herbs and cooked meat, but it didn't give me the satisfaction I needed. I felt out of place.I stood at the shiny counter, my hands steady despite the cold surface.The head chef worked quickly and skillfully, preparing Elizabeth's dinner with pride in his work. He had no clue about my intentions.The moment had arrived. I reminded myself, "Don't mess up. Just do it and get out. It won't kill her. She'll be okay."I kept these thoughts in my head.I glanced at the spice rack. There was a small vial hidden between jars of basil and oregano, easy to miss. I had placed it there earlier to blend with the spices. My fingers brushed over it as I pretended to care about the plates.My heart was racing. There was no turning back.If I hesitated, my boss would punish me harshly. He never forgave mistakes. Failing was not an option for me.The chef turned to grab some rosemary. That was my chance.I carefully added a few drops of the
Adam’s POVThe room felt incredibly small, almost as if it were closing in on me. I could hardly breathe. My heart was pounding loudly, like war drums, as I stormed out, each step driven by the burning anger inside me.Corinth!!!That name was stuck in my thoughts, gripping my anger tightly. She had a simple task: deliver my message. Just one task, and she didn't do it.Maybe she even ignored it on purpose.I moved quickly through the hallway, my hands clenched in fists. I needed to find out what happened right away. Kevin had come out of his coma. That should have been the first thing I was told. Instead, I was kept in the dark. Someone was trying to keep me uninformed, someone wanted me off balance. And Corinth was at the heart of it all.As I got to the stairs, ready to go down, I noticed something move from the corner of my eye."Adam."I stopped and turned to where the voice came from. I saw Maximus standing there.He stepped in front of me, his face serious, his eyes sharp. He w
Adam's POVI hadn’t slept. I was tired, my eyes burned, and yet morning came, but my head wouldn’t sleep. Mirroring a shivering voice, slithering through the thoughts of the mind, wherever I closed my eyes, the very next moment, shadows got keen at the border of my moment, my sight. I didn’t know what was real anymore.Elizabeth curled up next to me, her breathing steady but shallow.Carefully I pushed her hair from her face, letting my fingers linger on her cheek. She appeared serene, but I knew it was an illusion. She was still plagued with nightmares. I had gotten up more than once to her shaking in her sleep and mumbled words that made no sense.That thought turned my blood to ice.Elizabeth turned a little and buried her face in my chest. I held her a bit tighter and then slipped out of bed gently. She didn’t stir.I dressed quickly. My body was worn out but my mind was as sharp as it had ever been. Today was the day I would get the answers I needed.By the time I entered the sec
Adam's POVI first noticed it in the little things — pauses, misplaced objects, an extra beat spent staring into space. Elizabeth had always been sharp, from her calculated endeavors to her scalpel-sharp mind. But recently, there was something different.She would reach for her food but then stop, narrowing her eyes as though she were aware that something just wasn’t right. Then she’d shake her head and make herself eat, though her appetite was sporadic. On some nights, she would eat an entire meal in minutes. On other nights, she hardly ate at all.And then came the confusion.She would forget things, the little things at first. Where she had left her phone. If she had answered a message〕. Then it escalated. Whole conversations fell from her mind. She repeated the same questions, even within minutes of one another.Initially, I told myself it was just stress. Pregnancy was complicated on the body, and Elizabeth had enough on her plate. However, I was not someone who disregarded my gu
Elizabeth's POVThe first time it happened, I wrote it off as nothing but exhaustion. I had screamed my fucking head off at that disappearing figure in the mirror.I caught a glimpse of a mirror today while fitting in brushing my hair before bed. I took the lamp off, and then turned back, and I swear my reflection didn’t follow.I blinked.There was nothing peculiar in the glass. Just me. My slightly uncombed hair, my weary gaze, my finger caught in mid-action.I exhaled and wrangled myself into laughter.Pregnancy fatigue. That’s all it was.But later that night, I was roused by whispers.My pulse quickened as I opened my eyes to stare at the darkness. It was faint, like a voice on the wind, low enough in pitch that the words couldn’t be made out.I turned my head slightly.Adam was lying next to me, his breathing slow and steady, deep in sleep.I held still, listening.The murmurs appeared to come in from one end of the room, close to the window. But when I changed, they went away.
Corinth's POVAfter a long pause, Adam finally sighed. He glanced over at Nico and Raphael and gave a small nod.“Take her to the infirmary.”Without another word, Raphael put a steadying hand on my back and guided me out.*******We had just stepped inside when the cool, sterile smell of disinfectant seeped into my nose. The room was silent, the air-conditioner purring softly.I sat down on the patient’s bed and Raphael stood by the door, arms crossed.But then, Nico stepped forward.His fingers curled and uncurled at his sides. He looked so serious doing it.Then he turned to Raphael.“I got it from here.”Raphael didn’t budge at first. He narrowed his eyes slightly.I could almost hear the silent judgment in his eyes.But after the longest moment, Raphael released a slow breath.He shook his head, muttered some words under his breath and turned and left.The door clicked closed behind him.And then, there was silence.I looked at Nico, who suddenly looked nervous.He cleared his th
Corinth's POVThe maids cast anxious looks at one another. After a few seconds of doubt one of them opened the door.The girl who had shut the door retreated slowly, her fingers shaking.Raphael didn’t wait. He put his arm around my waist for support and walked me toward the exit. My legs shook, but I willed myself to keep standing.As soon as we crossed the threshold, I felt a chill go down my spine when something in the back of the room moved quickly.A shadow lunged toward us.Before I had time to react, Raphael spun around, his reflexes a split second fast.He avoided the hit at the last moment, his hand lashed out and caught the wrist of the girl who dared try to shove us.He yanked her forward with a slightly calculated, completely nonchalant sort of movement, disrupting her center of gravity. She took a shocked, short shout, hands waving as she nearly fell downstairs.The other maids sucked in their breaths, their faces locked with terror.She teetered and almost caught herself
Corinth’s POVThe voices outside the restroom cubicle became louder.“She’s in here.”I scrunched my hand over my mouth, my heartbeat pounding against my ribs. I leaned my back against the cold wall, listening to the footsteps approach.“Corinth,” called one of the maids, sharply, and taunting. “Come out now or we’re coming in.”I dug my fingers into my own skin, struggling to keep my breathing even. If I said nothing, maybe they’d go away. Maybe they’d get bored.But I wasn’t that lucky.Kicking the cubicle door, one of them made a loud bang. I jumped.“You deaf, whore?” another one hissed. “Open the damn door.”I hesitated. And if I took too long, they’d barge in. They had no boundaries.“Last warning.”I squeezed my eyes shut one moment, released a breath, then felt for the lock. As soon as I slid it open, the door flew inward, almost smacking me in the face. Before I even had a chance to react, a fist grabbed a handful of my hair and pulled me forward.A shrill scream tore out of
