***Bethany’s Pov***

I could not believe I had returned to Claybourne, a community with five-star hotels, luxury apartments, and condominiums, after five years. Claybourne has everything including the man who broke my heart again and again. I heard from Dale that Jacob had no choice but to marry his ex-wife’s sister, as it was customary to the other clan, or Dark Furs would face extinction. After five years, Claybourne had a lot of improvements, but it also enhanced its existing assets, especially the beaches with fine white sands.

Claybourne, which was founded on the outskirts of a bustling neighborhood, was a prime example of a contemporary metropolis. In addition to its attractiveness, the city was shaped by the backdrop of an ever-clear sky. Due to the fact that the vast majority of buildings have been constructed with numerous glass and light features to mimic the aesthetics of the blue sky. Claybourne has received a great deal of attention due to its excellent recreational facili

    ***Bethany’s Pov***He walked with me until we reached the boardwalk, at which point he said his final goodbyes. “Would you like to accompany me to the house?”“Miss, he dislikes crowds. Have a fantastic time!” He said and returned to his sailboat. He signaled with a hand gesture that he was only a phone call away by waving his hand at me from the upper deck.I gave him a friendly smile as I began my stroll on the boardwalk. If I had known, I would not have worn high-heeled shoes on a private island. The long trek had left me with painful blisters, and I desired to sit down immediately. A few minutes later, I was standing in front of his island residence, and I couldn’t help but be amazed.The exterior of the bungalow appeared magnificent. It was constructed with red bricks and mahogany-colored wooden ornamentation. Small, half-rounded windows illuminate the home and give it an asymmetrical, contemporary appearance. The structure was constructed in an L shape.The expansion continued

    ***Bethany’s Pov***“Can you imagine how excited I was when I learned that you scheduled a meeting with me?” he asked, his adorable grin bothering him!I told him, “At least one of us was excited.”“Bethany, where have you been? I've been searching for you all these years.”“Really? Wow, that is incredible. Do you believe you can deceive me again?”He replied, “I'm not trying to trick you,” and I scoffed at his response.“If you say so,” was my response.“Don't be arrogant, Miss Middleton. Come and have breakfast with me.”“Thank you, sir, but I'm already satisfied.” I declined his invitation to share a meal.“Shouldn't you make an effort to treat me with courtesy?” Jacob inquired with constricted pupils.“I don’t think I can discuss business with you, Jacob, so I’d rather just go home. My boss could just send another representative,” I told himAgain, he issued his ultimatum: “Join me for breakfast, or you'll regret it.”I was compelled to follow him to the kitchen, despite the fact

    ***Bethany’s Pov***My smile began to fade as soon as I realized that we would be alone in his room. His response was, “I don't think it's a good idea.”“Why? Are you concerned that I might behave improperly with you?”“Yes,” I humbly admitted.“For instance, kissing you on the lips? Or would you like me to put you in my bed?” I scowled at him after he made some obscene suggestions because I believed he was a jerk.My current thoughts were completely out of the ordinary. I had no choice but to sneak up behind him and photograph him as he opened the door to his bedroom. Then, I regarded the photograph for a moment and exhaled deeply.“Are you not entering?” As soon as he noticed I was still standing outside his door, he inquired.I replied, “Wait,” and entered his den slowly. Even though his appearance made me feel uneasy, I had no choice but to tolerate him! But it would be nice if he wasn't so ridiculously attractive! His room, along with the rest of the house, was decorated in a con

    ***Bethany’s POV***When he mentioned starting a family, it left me with a negative impression. “Do you believe you're capable of starting a family?” My voice likely trembled when I inquired about his plans to start a family.“Above and beyond capable,” he responded with assurance.“Then, I recommend that you impregnate your wife as soon as possible,” I suggested.In response to the question, he responded, “No, I am going to file for divorce soon. I already have someone in mind who is suitable to bear me children.”I was intrigued by the woman, but I refrained from asking for more information. A few minutes later, I was unable to refrain from asking. I was extremely curious about the woman he was talking about. “Would you mind revealing whether she is an heiress or an alpha’s daughter?” He responded with a chuckle to my inquiry.“For the time being, it will remain a mystery,” he replied.When he refused to disclose any information about his relationship, I could finally exhale a sigh

    ***Bethany’s Pov***I declined to answer his question by shaking my head. “I'm not sure what's wrong with you, but I have no reason to remain here. I’m sorry for wasting your time, Jacob,” I bid my ex-boyfriend farewell and returned to the living room, where I had left my bag.On my way out, I attempted to dial the boatman’s number but was unsuccessful. Multiple attempts were made, but it appeared that he had turned off his phone. I bit the inside of my lower lip as I pondered why he changed his phone after I made it clear that I needed to return to the mainland after the interview.“Is there something amiss?”I responded to Jacob's inquiry, “I'm unable to contact him,” after being startled by his voice from behind me.When he inquired “Who?” A crease appeared on his forehead.“The boatman,” I answered. “Does he have any other means of communication besides his phone?”Jacob responded, “I'm sorry, but all he has is his phone. What will you do if you are unable to contact him today?”“

    ***Bethany’s Pov***I seized one of the chairs, sat down, and vehemently refuted his claim. My patience was tested by Jacob's presence, and I feared that the mask I was wearing would fall off. From time to time, I would glance at him over my shoulder, and he seemed to be oblivious about it.“Eat slowly and savor the food,” he advised me.I pretended to be hungry in order to get away from him as quickly as possible. Although I disliked the superficial nature of his concern for my well-being, I could not help but feel my heart flutter whenever he was so close to me. When I looked up to see him, I observed that he was staring at me, so I raised my eyebrows in response.He remarked, “Bethany, you look incredible tonight.”When he attempted to flatter me with flowery language, I simply rolled my eyes. As if it would make my stomach rumble with pleasure! Did he believe I would once again fall for his words? When I was at a loss for words to put him in his place, I joked, “Stop staring at me

    ***Bethany’s Pov***The boatman waited on the boardwalk, and his face darkened when he saw my companion. He scowled at Jacob, then at me, and he remarked, “You must be close to him since he accompanied you up to this point.”Liam nodded in agreement as I stated, “No, but when I told him you were coming here, he insisted on going back to the mainland with me.” For a moment, he furrowed his brows, and then I used the opportunity to approach him when Jacob wasn’t watching and whispered something into his ear. “However, I would appreciate it if you did not allow him to board the boat.” He chuckled. Jacob frowned upon hearing his laughter, which was masked by the waves.“I like you. I mean, I like your grit.”I winked at him and said, “I don't mind having a hot friend.”As I preferred conversing with the boatman, Jacob appeared out of place aboard the magnificent boat. Because he has a good sense of humor, I liked his corny jokes. Jacob attempted to separate me from his friend, but the boa

    ***Bethany’s Pov***I was so exhausted that all I wanted to do was sleep. Slowly approaching my bed, I quickly turned off all of the lights. I enjoyed sleeping in the dark because it gave me peace of mind that no one was watching me. Jillian was already snoring when I arrived earlier, and I had to shower first before I could touch her.I was lying in my bed, staring at the ceiling, when I considered calling Jacob but decided against it because it wouldn't make a difference. In my dream, however, I was visited by the man with whom I fell in love five years ago. No, it was a nightmare from which I awoke drenched in sweat!I observed that it was only four o'clock in the morning after glancing at the clock. My hands went to my eyes and rubbed them as if there were sands inside, and I walked towards the bathroom to wash my face while squinting.After washing my face, I decided to check my phone. Actually, I usually read the latest news or happenings on my phone, and the headlines caused my

    ***Bethany’s Pov***I averted my gaze because I felt naked in front of his eyes, but Jacob caressed my face and compelled me to look at him. For a brief moment, our gazes were locked, and no one dared to look away. Standing outside his room was inconvenient, so I wish he would move sooner. When he snatched me and dragged me into his room, I gasped for air. I didn't care that there were no words to describe the intensity of our need, whether sexual or emotional. In my heart, I yearned for him."Would you mind telling me what you want, my dear wife?"Jacob inquired about my desires, but I was at a loss for words. I was baffled! I didn't know what I was looking for except for him to touch, embrace, or kiss me. Without thinking, I threw myself at Jacob. I was taken aback by his sudden attack with his mouth, and my eyes widened as I realized I liked the way he conquered me with his lips. My knees started to wobble, and I had no choice but to grab his hand for support.I grumbled inwardly,

He still smiled at me as if I had said something nice to him.“Leave,” I told him.“You can’t be so cruel to me this morning, sweetheart,” he complained, but I wasn’t in the mood to be nice to him.“”Can’t you see I am busy right now?” I snapped at him but he just grinned. What’s wrong with him?“Bethany, when did you become so vengeful?”“Vengeful? If you were in my shoes, would you still smile at me as soon you wake up?”“Don’t worry, darling. I will make it up later,” he whispered but I just snorted at him.“Whatever,” I told him but when he suddenly embraced me, I lost.“Come on, don’t be such a baby, and smile! Jillian is looking this way, come on, smile darling!” “I was horny and you just kept on sleeping last night!” I complained and although it

    ***Bethany’s POV***After my conversation with Jacob, I tried calling Dale’s number, hoping he would take my call this time. Previously, I tried calling him but his number was always out of the coverage area. I just wanted to check if he has seen the face of the Uncle who took Jillian for a trip. Although, I trusted my father’s words about Jillian being safe, I still wanted to check with Dale. If only he wasn’t so busy lately.“Hey! I'm getting married in three days," I jested as soon as he answered the call, but Dale took it seriously.“Wow, congratulations, Bethany. Jacob is a good man, and you're fortunate to have him." He stated."But I'm not sure about that. He appears to be a good catch, but he stated that marriage was ridiculous, can you imagine?""He loves you, and I know you feel the same," Dale said, but even if he wasn't there, I disagreed with a shake of my head.Before opening my mouth to speak, I swallowed the lumps in my throat. Every time I remembered his words, I fe

    ***Bethany’s Pov***I resigned to my fate as Jacob’s wife, but something happened. There was a commotion at the back, and when I looked around, I saw Jacob along with his men. His presence at my wedding alerted my father’s men, and the environment has turned into a danger zone. “Jacob!” I exclaimed as he approached me on a calm manner."I told you you are all mine. Bethany, you are mine. So get up and let's go home," he said, but no matter how slow his voice was, my father heard it and came over to us with a scowl."How dare you come here!" Father yelled at Jacob, and I was nervous as both men studied each other, with no sign of Jacob being afraid."Stop it, both of you!" I ignored the bystanders and yelled at both men. "Let's just walk away, Jacob." I've decided to follow Jacob wherever he would take me, than to get married to someone like Jacob. It would be boring!"Bethany, you can't do this to your father!" When we walked away, Roger Middleton shouted.I felt bad for my father bu

    ***Bethany’s Pov***It was late, and I knew my father was not at home. I decided to go for a swim in the pool because swimming usually helps me clear my mind; however, when I arrived, Alexander was already there!"Hi Bethany, would you like to join me?" He asked as soon as he saw me approaching, and I made a funny face.As if I could use the same pool water in which his body dared to float! His presence and carefree attitude disgusted me. "Never mind," I said as I prepared to leave.When Alexander called out my name, I turned around to see him approaching me. After seeing his hairy chest, I had to close my eyes for a moment. He didn't appear normal to me! He had so much hair all over his body that he looked like a monkey!"Do you like men with long hair?" I rolled my eyes to my head as he inquired. I was nearing the end of my patience, and Alexander put it to the test like a pro."Why do you have so much hair?" I knew I was being impolite, but I was enraged by his outrageous display o

    ***Bethany’s Pov***Sleep has always been my way of escaping reality. I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep. A few hours later, however, I was awakened by someone, and when I opened my eyes, I saw my father standing near my bed. I glared at him again before closing my eyes, but he did not leave and remained standing!"Just leave me alone," I said as I wrapped the coverlet around my entire body."We have to deal with your situation, Bethany." He made an announcement.“Deal with it? How are you going to deal with it, Father? I am a divorced woman, and it was your fault for forcing him into the marriage!” I accused him of orchestrating everything along with my Aunt. It couldn’t be his idea alone.“You are engaged to someone else, Bethany. It’s not just Jacob, and thankfully, I made several deal when you were just a kid! It comes handy in your current situation,” he stated.“No, I am not going to marry another man. Once was enough, Father. My kids would be fine without a father figu

    ***Bethany’s POV***Tangled hedges and bushes surrounded an emerald field of grass. A single ornamental piece, simple but elegant in design, stood near the back. The smaller flower bushes were well cared for, but still given plenty of room to grow; they came in all shapes and sizes.The hedges and bushes grow to 1.5m/5ft in height, which was unusual and possibly unique to this garden. Marble slabs were scattered about, directing visitors to the best spots. Plants, grass, and roots appeared content with their positions in the garden, with none attempting to reach further, at least not yet.The ornamental piece commanded all attention, but it also draws attention to everything around it. The smaller flower bushes have no trouble attracting attention, and the hedges and bushes were certainly a sight to behold, but there's no way to win when the garden was designed with the ornamental piece in mind.It has been awhile since I spent a few hours in the garden, reminiscing about things espec

    ***Bethany’s POV***I thought Jacob was joking but when the nightfall came, he used his strength to gain access to my room. He was comfortably seated on my couch, watching television as if he had all the time in the world.“I am going to take a shower now, would you like to join?” He asked.“Not a chance,” I replied."By the way, darling wife, could you please get me a towel?"As the guy reveled in taunting me with his nakedness, my nostrils flared. "Please get it on your own; I'm too tired to get up," I said, lying."Hmm, I'm thinking about taking a shower later and sleeping now," he said, attempting to lie beside me.I jumped out of bed and dashed to the cabinet to get a clean towel for him. “"Here," I said as I handed him the towel then he laughed as he made his way to the bathroom.“Come on, Bethany. Join me! What’s stopping you this time? We used to do this before, remember?”“I don’t take a bath frequently since I got pregnant, Jacob.”“Lies,” he chuckled.About ten minutes late

    ***Jacob’s Pov***For a moment, I remained silent and simply stared at the woman who refused to terminate his pregnancy. I knew she was a wonderful mother, but having another bastard wouldn’t be acceptable. She has to marry me or terminate her pregnancy!Suddenly, her aunt entered with a tray of refreshments. I accepted a glass but I had no idea it could lead to something disastrous. She added something into the drink and only God knew what happened after that. When I regained my senses, I was tied up into a chair, along with Bethany.“I now pronounced you as husband and wife,” the man said much to my disbelief. When I glanced at Bethany’s reaction, her brows were also furrowed. She was probably confused, too! After the ceremony, they untied me, and asked me to kiss Bethany. Someone photographed the event, and it happened so quickly.“Jacob, please take care of our princess,” the woman said with so much emotions on her face, but I was still puzzled.
