***Lily’s POV***As soon as my father left, Jacob and I tried once more but it was a failure. I had no idea what was wrong with him but he seemed to be incapable of making me happy in bed…again! I tried everything I could but it garnered the same result. In the end, we just decided to call it a night and retired for the evening. In the morning, Jacob acted differently, and was extra nice to me.He helped me fill my plate with food and said, "You have to eat your breakfast too."When I looked at him, he broke into a broad grin. Jacob dealt with me in a different manner for the very first time. I had no idea that, if he so desired, he could be so kind and thoughtful to others. I uttered the words "thank you" with extreme gratitude.After breakfast, my dad told Jacob to go back to his room, and then he asked if there was any chance we could have a conversation about something while drinking coffee. Obviously, I was on board with this, but I didn't think Jacob would be able to make it.As
***Lily’s POV***When he said it again, I frowned at him and wondered if he has some health problems pertaining to his manhood. “Perhaps, do you have erectile dysfunction? Pardon my words, but I think we are old enough to discuss about it,” I told him when he grimaced at my inquiry.“Do you mind if we will talk about it?” He asked.I stared at him because he also wanted to talk to me about something, and I assumed it was about what had happened. “Can you tell me what it's about?” I asked him a question, and the way he looked at me startled me. “Say it, Jacob.”He said, "We can't do it anymore."Okay, I've heard him! I strolled over to him and sat on his lap without warning. “Why not, Jacob? Ahhh, do you like it?” As a result, Jacob groaned inwardly, and I wasn't expecting his hands to clasp my slender waist automatically.“Why are you torturing me like this?” He asked a question, and I had no idea how to react.I did the bare minimum by grinding my hips on his manhood, and then he gri
***Lily’s POV***We were so engaged in the ecstasy of lovemaking that we completely forgot about our commitment to do it only once. Well, once was plenty, but repeating the process was more than enough to meet our requirements. We both desired to repeat the experience. We thought twice would suffice, but we were both starving for each other, so we did it again...and again!I was consumed by lust that I failed to notice the camera being placed and it captured my face while being fucked by another man. When I was brought to the council to explain, they played the video once more, and much to my surprise, Dale’s face wasn’t on the video. I looked around to check at their faces because it was obvious that someone knew about my illicit affair with Dale, and that man probably paid Dale a hefty amount to betray me.I laughed at my downfall. It was my fault. I lowered my guard just to satisfy my sexual desire. When Dale showed up during the trial, I decided not to fight anymore. I stepped dow
***Lily’s POV***My heart sank when I saw my boyfriend kissing another woman but my father seemed to enjoy at my discomfort and pain. “Who is she?” I asked in disbelief.“His wife,” he replied. “She’s lovely, right?”I closed my eyes and bit my bottom lip while trying to digest the new information about my lover. As I continued to watch the footage, I was convinced she was really close to him, and I was taken aback. Initially, I thought it was just a casual hookup or maybe a friend of a friend. Incredulous, I shook my head at the realization that he had been playing me for over two months. The footage was shown to me, but I steadfastly refused to believe it.He continued to smear my boyfriend's reputation by saying, "His wife is sick, and last week she had a major operation."“A week ago?" Because of his parents, he borrowed a substantial sum from me last week. Surely he wouldn't do something like that to me.“You should really start calling him Lily,” he challenged me, "I heard that
***Lily’s POV***Once I confirmed the man was indeed dead, I had to double-check to make sure I wasn't imagining things. Being in such a remote location with a dead body was terrifying, and I needed help desperately!For a long while, I stood staring at the dead body and wouldn't let him be. I was afraid for my safety because it was getting dark, but I couldn't leave his body there until someone came to take it away. Simply put, it's cruel to treat people that way! I've called for help, but the emergency crew won't be able to get to me for a while. For a moment, as I stared at the dead man's body, I wondered if I had somehow missed feeling his pulse.Perhaps he is still breathing and just needs CPR.I sighed heavily and fumbled for the handkerchief I kept in the back pocket of my pants as I made an effort to put some space between us. To clean the blood from the stranger's face, I took it. Seeing the stranger's mouth made my stomach turn, and when I got closer, I was even too nervous
***Jacob’s POV***After the divorce from Lily Travis, I regained my status as the most eligible bachelor Alpha in Clayland. News about it has traveled everywhere and I received several proposals to marry their daughter. I took a deep breath while trying to think about my options carefully. However, as soon as I recalled that I couldn’t satisfy a woman anymore, I cursed heavily. I could visit the best doctor to check on my current condition but I was worried it would just cause a scandal and ruined my reputation.For two months, I was exhausted from being dubbed as the most eligible man for a husband but I had no desire to marry anyone anymore. This time, I wanted to make Bethany my Luna regardless if he was my mate or not. However, the woman disappeared without a trace, and no matter how hard I tried to locate him, all of my attempts were unsuccessful. I wanted to see her badly but where should I look for her?Several alpha’s daughters were offered to me but I didn’t want any of them
***Jacob’s POV***When I didn’t hear anything about Bethany, I became furious, and couldn’t think clearly. Unless I would be able to release my anger in bed. Yes, I should visit the harem as soon as possible. Actually, the main reason for setting up the harem was to test my capacity with women. For the past few weeks, I couldn’t finish what I started, but the result was something else whenever I was furious.I strolled aggressively towards the third floor of the manor to get laid and when I arrived at my destination, the women exclaimed their excitement. Silently, I cursed Dale for lying to the women. Dale lied I was looking for a wife, and that’s the purpose of setting it up. As a result, most of them considered the harem as a place to showcase their abilities in bed.They looked so innocent and kind but I knew better. Women loved to play with men, and vice versa. Amongst the women in the parlor, I noticed the blonde with aqua blue eyes. When I stared at her, she lowered her eyes coy
***Bethany’s POV***I couldn’t understand why Dale had to trouble himself in hiring a bodyguard for me. I complained about it several times but he was persistent and no matter how much I tried in convincing him to let go of the bodyguard, he wouldn’t listen. He was obstinate just like my father.Then, the bodyguard was also obstinate! His stubborn nature always stressed me out and that’s the main reason why I wanted to kick him out every single day. One day, I decided to adopt a new approach to dealing with him. He was arrogant and his self-centeredness was to an extreme degree. I just couldn’t stand the way he talked down to me as though he was always better than me! His arrogance was just out of control!As usual, I had to get up earlier because of my job. When the clock hit six in the morning, I was ready to leave. I had planned on having a good day at the office but as soon as I stepped outside my room, my arrogant bodyguard ruined my resolution.He greeted her with an enthusiasti
***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,
***Bethany’s Pov***The outdoor dining sets with umbrellas, cabanas, and chaise lounges that were set up for the event made the beach colorful and vibrant. “Good morning, darling,” he greeted me but I only raised my brows in response. 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. My mind was befuddled and I didn’t
