Rachel’s POV

I was sitting at my desk, typing away on the workload ahead of me. I’m starting to think this is Darius's punishment for the last two days when we got married.

I don’t know why he has the idea that Andrew and I were messing around that night.

If only Darius knew the offer Andrew had made, maybe then he’d let me off the hook.

And for Andrew to think I was just a cheap slut that would take his money and run. There was no amount of money he could offer me that could buy me.

And I can’t wait to prove that to him.

My thoughts came short when Jasmine walked in.

"Hey, girl!" She exclaimed, plopping down in the chair across from my desk. "What's up?"

I smiled, trying to focus on my work. "Just trying to get some things done," I said.

“I—“ She paused, her eyes scanning through my neckline area.

My brows furrowed, wondering what had carried her away all of a sudden before it dawned on me.

The hickey!

Damn it!

This thing should have faded away; when Andre

I knew he was going to get the wrong idea, but I didn’t care; Andrew’s words had hurt me deeply, and I was left suffocated… I just needed fresh air, away from this toxic environment.I don’t know how long I am going to be able to work here; I am sick and tired of being belittled. I couldn’t wait for this mission, or whatever my father calls it, to get over with; I needed to put Andrew in his place.I rushed back to my office, stumbling; I packed my things as fast as I could, sucking back the tears. Just wanted to get out of there, to get away from Andrew.As I rushed out of the office, I bumped into Jasmine in the hallway. "Rachel, what's wrong?" she asked, concern etched on her face.But I couldn't talk. I was trying so hard to hold back tears. I shook my head and kept walking, Jasmine calling after me.But I didn't stop. I just kept walking, tears streaming down my face. I

    Darius’s POV My jawline fisted as I stared down at Rachel, her orbs filled with tears. Before I could make a move, she brushed past me and ran off. My blood boiled as I walked in. I needed to draw a line between my nephew and my family… Whatever they had with Rachel was in the past, and now she was his. And he wasn’t going to let Andrew mess with his wife. "Andrew, we need to talk," I said, my voice low but authoritative. I slipped my hands into the pocket of my slacks, letting out a breath. He looked up from his desk. “Oh, Uncle. What can I do for you?” I walked over to his desk, my fists clenched. "I want you to fucking stay away from my wife," I said, my voice firm. Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Your wife? You mean Rachel? Come on, uncle, don’t tell me you consider that thing to be your wife. My nose flared, offended by the way he regarded her, but I chose to keep my cool in check, my anger growing. "Yes, Rachel. She's my wife, and I take her as one. And don’t you dare refer

    Rachel’s POV.I stepped out of the shower, wrapped in a towel, and my heart dropped at the sight of Darius seated on the bed. He was staring at me with an intensity that made me feel exposed. I clutched my towel tightly around me, trying to cover myself up. His steel grey eyes burnt through me, making me feel vulnerable. My heart rate escalated as I tried to gather my thoughts together and keep my cool. What the hell was he doing here? And why would Diana let him in without seeking my consent?Duh! Because he’s your husband. Yeah right, my conscience is a bitch… never on my side. Blinking my eyes multiple times. I finally found my voice trying to sound calm, “What are you doing here?” I asked. More like whispered, because my voice sounded foreign to my hearing.He didn’t respond but instead got up and walked towards me, his eyes never leaving mine. My heart was beating rapidly as he approached me."I could ask you the same thing," he said, his voice cold. "What is it that’s

    Rachel’s POV Our eyes meet, the desire in me burning and alarming. I’ve never seen Darius from a different picture than I have today. The usual scowl and grumpiness that hung around his face were nowhere to be found, replaced by lust and need. He looked at me like I was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. A look not even Andrew has given me before. He leaned in, snapping out of the daze, dropping sloppy kisses in between my mounds. I fisted the fabric of the sheet as his lips wrapped around my turgid nipple. “Ungh…” I cried out, my head twisting left and right, all the reason leaving my head. He bit on the bud, encircling it with his tongue. I could tell he was teasing me, but right now I wanted nothing but to feel him close, inside of me. What does he look like? How big was he? My curiosity was piqued as my eyes fell on the hard bulge hidden behind his slacks. "Did that feel good?" He hums his assault on my nipples never. I bit my lower lip trying to fight a

    Rachel’s POV He began to unbuckle his pants, his eyes never leaving mine. This was the point where I’d ask him to stop but didn’t; instead, I was eager to see him, feel him. The hard, big bulge that hid behind his pants. He pushed his pants down, followed by his boxers. I sucked in a harsh breath as his dick came into view. It was huge; I wondered how it was going to fit inside of me. Once pleasure was replaced by horror and, at the same time, longing. My eyes caught sight of the tattoo as he ripped open his t-shirt, along with his hard-rocking abs that screamed to be touched. His skin glistened; it made me want to run my tongue around him. God! What was Darius doing to me? My eyes moved away from his abs and back to his throbbing erection with pre-cum spreading his tip; he fisted it in his hand, and I finally was able to get a real look at the little trim hairs at his pelvis that led to a long, thick shaft. He began stroking himself slowly, twisting his wrist

His smell lingered around, filling the air and giving it a soothing and comforting feeling. But then soon regret came washing over me. What had happened last night? It wasn't part of the contract, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that this was a mistake that I made and I would soon come to regret it.The sound of the door creaking open snapped me out of my train of thought, revealing Diana with a tray of breakfast. "Good morning, Rach," she said cheerfully. "I brought you some breakfast."I sat up, trying to compose myself, avoiding her gaze. "Thank you, Di."Diana set the tray down on the bedside table.

I went to the extent of coming up with multiple excuses, but he didn’t budge.As I got ready for the dinner, I made sure to dress elegantly simple; nothing too eye-catching, though. I chose a beautiful red gown that hugged my curves in all the right places. My hair was styled perfectly, and my makeup—I went for something light, almost like there was no makeup at all.Yeah, yeah!

"You need to take something."Aria looked up at me, sending me a glare that caught me off guard. "I don't want to eat anything," she said, her voice firm. "And you can't make me. So please just go away.I let out a frustrating sigh; I didn’t know how long I could keep my cool, but she was a handful, and it was clear that she didn't want me around. "Aria, please," I said.

"I need to go finish up some work."Goddammit!Seriously!?Of all times for Darius to come here, he chose now. I hated being stuck in a vulnerable situation and definitely didn't like the fact that Darius was seeing me in this situation.As soon as Jasmine left, Darius walked over to me, his eyes fixed on my face. "What happened to your face?" he asked, his voice low and furious. "Who slapped you?"I didn't want to respond to him. I didn't want to get into a conversation about Andrew and what he had done. He didn’t need to know that I was being forced to leave him.And that his arsehole nephew has been on my neck and wouldn’t let me be. My love for Andrew has been far diluted; now I want nothing but to see him kneel and beg for my mercy.

I shouted, my voice trembling with anger. "How dare you slap me! Who do you think you are? Are you fucking out of your mind? Tears filled my eyes, the pain piercing my cheeks. I had let him slap me the other day without retaliating or saying a word; it didn’t give him the damn right to do that again.No one has ever raised his hands on me, not even my parents, and he dared to do that again?Andrew shrugged with no sign of remorse, his eyes cold and hard. "I'm the one who's going to make sure you leave, Uncle," he said, his voice firm and commanding. "It's final, Rachel. It's not a request; it's an order.
