Rachel’s POV

Darius dropped me down, helping me fix back my panties with no words exchanged, just eye contact, which I tried to avoid.

He buckled his pants, narrowing his stare at me.

He chuckled, leaning in, “You look cute,” and placed a peck on my lips.

I gulped a lump, batting my eyelashes. “Darius… I—“ I couldn’t even form a coherent sentence, feeling conflicted all of a sudden.

He breathes out, cupping my cheeks, “What is it?”

A lone tear slipped from my eyes, to which he was quick to wipe it off. “We… we can’t keep doing this; it’s not part of the contract, and I—“

He sealed our lips, nibbling on my bottom lip as he sought entrance, and I let him.

I moan into his mouth and press my body against his, feeling my legs starting to get weak.

We kissed for as long as we could before we broke apart. My eyes instantly shut off as our foreheads meet. I could feel his mint breath fanning my face and his steel-grey eyes staring at me.

“Fuck, baby, if we stay here for a minute longer, I d

    Rachel’s POVI stood there, frozen in shock and hurt, as Andrew's handprint stung my cheek. I couldn't believe he had slapped me. Who did he think he was?"How dare you!" 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.

    Rachel’s POVI quickly wiped off the tears that were streaming down my face, trying to compose myself. Jasmine noticed my sudden change in expression and turned towards the door, her eyes widening."Excuse me," Jasmine said, getting up from her seat. "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.

    Rachel’s POVI stared at Aria, who stared blankly at her plate of pancakes that I had woken up early to make for her.It had been three days since Darius left for his business trip, and it was clear that Aria was missing him because she never failed to ask for her daddy and was always on FaceTime with him whenever he was free.Today was the weekend, and I was trying to get her to eat something, but she wasn't budging."Aria, sweetie, please eat something," I said, trying to sound gentle and persuasive. "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.

  • Ex Husband’s Regret: He Wants Me Back   1. Shattered Vows.

    Rachel’s POV I sat at our favorite restaurant, fidgeting with my napkin. Today was special—our third anniversary. I couldn't wait to see Andrew walk through that door. Although I was dying with anxiety deep down, I still managed to put on a smile, ignoring the piety looks I was getting from the waiters. He was going to show up, hopefully. I loved him more with each passing day, but lately, things have changed. His promotion at work had taken over his life. He was always busy, always tired. We barely had time for each other. He gets upset at the slightest things, so I choose most times not to get into an argument with him letting things go even though it was his fault. My heart ached, remembering the way it used to be. We'd laugh together, go on spontaneous dates, and cuddle on the couch. The way he’d tell me how much he loves and adores me. How much I meant to him. Now, I was lucky if I got a quick kiss goodbye. Which I haven't gotten for a month or now. He doesn’

    Rachel's POV I grasped Andrew's car keys, my fingers trembling as tears streamed down my face. I had to escape. I couldn't bear the sight of them together. The air felt thick, suffocating. I could barely breathe. I stumbled out of the house, keys clutched in my hand. Andrew's car was packed ahead of me; I rushed to it. I settled in, starting the engine with shaking hands. The wheels screeched as I sped away from the nightmare. How could he? How could they? After everything? I thought Victoria had been my best friend and the only one I could call family since I lost mine. Images of Andrew and Victoria haunted me, flashing like a cruel slideshow in my mind. Their passionate moment, the way Amanda held her so delicately, their kiss. Tears blurred my vision, but I didn't care. I drove faster, desperate to outrun the agony. The pain is the betrayal. What is going to happen to us now? Who was I kidding? There wasn’t going to be an us. Not when Andrew had disrespected me this

    Rachel's POV I walked out of the hospital after being discharged, barely being able to keep my balance. A familiar stood in the parking lot clad in her work uniform, my heart dropping at her presence. My father was already aware of my situation. "It's good to see you again, Boss." She greets me, and I nod, fighting the urge to let out a hiss. "I'm fine, Diana. Just leave me be." Diana worriedly states, "Boss, please, I can't leave you in this condition. Let me take you home.” Diana is my assistant; she handles all of my affairs, both business and personal. Her father worked for my family since I was six; he’d come with her on most occasions, clicking our friendship, so we were best friends. Or sister’s from another mother. Best friend? It tasted bitter on my tongue. Victoria's face haunted me. Why did she do this? Why did she betray me? My anger grew. "No-" Diana caught me off: “With all due respect, Rach!

    Rachel’s POV I walked out of the kitchen, still dressed in my silk knee-length nightie, carrying a tray laden with pancakes and juice that Mrs. Johnson had prepared for breakfast. The morning sunlight was light and friendly for a fleeting moment, forgetting the tragedy that had happened and the one that is yet to. I barely got some sleep last night; I had cried myself in regret. If only I could go back in time and right my wrongs. My steps came to a halt as I set eyes on him. My father's words from last night echoed in my mind: "Darius Reid will come by with some files." I had completely forgotten. And now, standing in my foyer was the man himself. My footsteps faltered, and the tray wobbled in my hands. I froze, taking in the imposing figure before me. Tall, broad-shouldered, and chiseled, Darius Reid exuded an aura of confidence and power. His piercing steel-grey eyes seemed to bore into my very soul, making me feel small and vulnerable under his gaze. I felt a flu

  • Ex Husband’s Regret: He Wants Me Back   5. Business Partner.

    Rachel’s POV I stood in front of my closet, scanning the row of clothes. I knew I had to dress decently and not overdress to avoid alertness; maybe a poor-class blend, but all my outfits were very custom-made; it was hard to settle for one. After standing for a minute or two contemplating, I chose a modest skirt and blouse combo, adding a lightweight jacket to complete the look. As I finished styling my hair into a ponytail, I heard footsteps approaching. Diana walked in with a cup of coffee. "Girl, you look... polished," Diana said, eyeing me up and down. "Too polished?" I asked, smoothing my skirt. "A little bit," Diana replied, handing me the coffee. "You're supposed to be poor-class, Rach, not upper crust." I laughed, adjusting my jacket. "I'll tone it down." "Just leave it; you’re running late already, and Darius is downstairs waiting,” she announced. Damn it! The mere mention of his name sent shivers crawling up my skin. Diana's expression turned serious, snapping m

    Rachel’s POV I stood in the conference room, presenting to a room full of colleagues and clients. I could feel Darius' eyes on me, but I refused to look at him.I kept my focus on the presentation, trying to ignore the lump I felt clinging to my throat. Yesterday night, I could swear I saw a glint of disappointment and hurt in his eyes when I admitted that what we shared was a mistake.But Darius was good at masking his emotions, so I wasn’t sure.He said it himself, what we have is only contracted and we stick to that, in the eyes of the people we may be man and wife but behind closed doors, we’re acquaintances.As I finished my presentation, I took a seat next to Darius as it was the only seat available.God!I have been doing so well with avoiding him since the incident I didn’t expect him to confront me about it, but yet again he has surprised me.I could feel his presence beside me, but I didn't look at him. I kept my eyes on the papers in front of me, trying to calm my racing

    Darius’s POVIt’s been three fucking days, but the only thought in my head is Rachel. I couldn’t get her out of my head. Her smell, her touch, her voice—everything about her haunted me.I wanted her, all of her. I tried to focus on my work, but even that was impossible. I found myself thinking about her during meetings, while reading reports, and even while talking to clients. I couldn't concentrate on anything except the memory of being inside of her.I hissed in frustration, hitting on the steering wheel. Huffing out a breath, I assembled my things out of the car and stepped out, walking to the entrance of the house.I was upset that Rachel left the office today again.She’s been avoiding me. Even at work, she picks up every reason to leave my environment. She wouldn’t even look at me. She had left the office before me, just like she had been doing for the past few days. She didn't want to drive home with me, and that annoyed me.Frustration was eating me up. I want us to talk abo

    Rachel’s POVI stirred my eyes squinting as the morning light peeped through the curtains, urging a growl from my lips.My body felt sore from last night, and for a second forgetting what had happened, but as the memory ran back to me, as I stretched, a blush spread across my cheeks, and a smile played on my lips. 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. "Darius left early this morning to attend to some important work.

    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

    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
