***Jacob’s Pov***When Bethany told me that I looked hot, I accidentally stepped on the brake. It was the first time she had complimented my looks and I couldn’t explain why I felt good. Whistling, I started the car and drove away.“Thank you,” I muttered.“I wish you will just let me go home,” she said.“It’s not going to happen, Bethany. You are going to live with me at my place,” I told her because I couldn’t let her live alone while being pregnant with my child. “I don’t want to go back to your place, Jacob,” she said and I could understand her reasoning. She probably didn’t want to reminisce about the things that happened in my house. “I’d rather go home,” she continued to refuse to stay with me.“Don’t be obstinate, Bethany. Consider the baby. What will happen if there’s an emergency and you are alone?”“You are only concerned with the baby, but what about me? You are heartless as ever!”When she suddenly became upset, I couldn’t figure out why she was acting that way. How coul
***Bethany’s POV***Was he too exhausted from the trip and fell asleep? I kept on knocking at his door earlier but he didn’t open it. I even raised my voice outside his bedroom but he didn’t show his face to me. I just assumed he was probably too tired to get up.Therefore, I gave up and returned to the dining room to eat alone. I was disappointed because I expected something to change between us as soon as we arrived at his official residence. Then, I chuckled quietly. As if I wasn’t used to eating by myself!However, I still wondered if he heard me knocking on his door or if he just ignored me deliberately. I shouldn’t be upset about his action but I was hurt and disappointed, and I hated myself for feeling that way! It was heartbreaking and desperate but I should keep him out of my head and focus on how I could escape. Jillian needed me and although she was with her nanny, she would be worried about why I didn’t go home. Dale was probably looking for me too, or perhaps, he already
***Bethany's POv***“You're insane!” He screamed at me but before I could react, he grabbed my body towards him and fiercely claimed my mouth!I wiggled my body to get away from him, but he was much stronger! My eyes widened in surprise as he pushed me into the center of the bed, especially when he unbuckled his belt. It seemed he was about to beat me, but after tearing my clothes, I'd rather be beaten up!“Stop right now! What's the matter with you?” His actions only reinforced my belief that I was nothing more than a bed partner to him. He saw me only as a slut! Disappointed at the realization that I was nothing more than a whore, I stopped fighting and let him have his way, feeling bad about my decision to try winning his heart again.“What's the matter with me? I just expressed how much I cared about you, and yet, you accused me of using drugs! How could you say something so vile in front of my face?” He yelled as he caressed my breasts callously.“I don’t understand why you are d
***Bethany’s Pov***Jacob cupped my breasts and caressed them gently with his palm. He then rubbed my hard nipples and played with them. He was no longer satisfied with his hand, and I watched as he lowered his mouth and sucked one of my breasts.When he tortured my nipples with his tongue at the same time, I arched my back and screamed for his name. I told him to stop, and he did, but only for a split second before his mouth moved down towards the most sensitive part of my body. His tongue licked it, and I begged him to stop when I couldn't take it any longer.When he tortured me with his tongue, I grabbed the thick hair on his head and tried to push him away, but he wouldn't budge, and every slight movement of his head made my body tremble with delight. I lost track of how many times I yelled his name. He was invincible!When I felt the spasm inside me, I begged him to go harder. He ate me, and when he moved on to the little thing in between, I moaned even more! I couldn't describe
***Roger’s Pov***I hoped it wasn’t for me to make amends with my daughter. I was aware why she rebelled against me but it didn’t end well. Her stubbornness resulted to her banishment from the pack and since I have been searching for her. She hid very well but lately, I got some intelligence reports about her. She was staying near Bradfordshire and the place was fairly hidden. The house was well guarded and my men had a hard time infiltrating the place.I was aware I wasn’t an ideal father to her, but I had more responsibilities in the pack, and dealing with a spoiled brat was one of them. At first I got furious because her affair with someone else endangered the entire pack! How could she sleep with another man when she was already betrothed to someone else? It was irresponsible! I was furious and got carried away, because Bethany was so stubborn, just like her mother!I let out a deep sigh while waiting for someone to come out. My men were positioned in places and they were ready to
***Amber’s POV***When a man was tied up and beaten in one of the room's corners, the luxurious furnishings looked ridiculous. His bloody face stood in stark contrast to the white and gold-themed furniture. It wasn't my first time to see how my boss beat the snot out of him, but he persisted.If he only thought about himself and opened his mouth, he'd have a good chance of escaping alive. Every time my boss punched the man in the face, I could only look away. I wanted to assist him but couldn't get past the men assigned to protect him. My heart bled for Dale, who had been held hostage in the basement for two weeks already.His face was covered in dried blood from Roger Middleton. His hands were tied upward as he was tortured. When Dale was apprehended, I was concerned, but Dale never talked about Bethany. He remained silent about Bethany despite two weeks of constant torture."You have to eat, Dale," I persuaded the man who had not eaten since the previous day. I felt sorry for him as
***Amber’s POV***I wrinkled my nose as I smelled the sweet metallic pungency of fresh blood and screamed for help as loudly as I could. As if I was in a crime scene, fresh blood gushed from his mouth and nose. Oh well, if Dale died from blood loss, the basement would undoubtedly become a crime scene later."What's the matter, Amber?”Three men in suits dashed towards me, their eyes widening in terror as they saw Dale's limped body. "What are we going to do now? We can't let him die in this place!” My voice trembled at the prospect of implicating the place in a possible crime!"Let's take him to the closest hospital," he proposed.“Us? I'm not going to!” I refused to follow the men's commands!"Just pretend he's your husband and he had an accident," one of the guards suggested if hospital personnel inquired about the hostage's identity.I frowned at their suggestion because if something went wrong, Roger Middleton would blame me. "How come I should do that?” I inquired, my gaze drawn
***Bethany’s Pov*** I rubbed my eyes a few times, just in case the man in the living room was a figment of my imagination. With my current attire, I doubt he would notice me, but unfortunately, he did! He pointed his finger upon discovering that it was me, and his loud voice caused a commotion! He demanded for Jacob to come immediately, and then his men dismissed everyone who probably heard about his scream. “F-Father,” I stammered upon saying the word again. It had been a long time, and I didn’t expect to him inside Jacob’s manor. “How are you, my princess? I have been looking for you but you vanished like a bubble!” He claimed, and his announcement shocked me. All along, I thought he didn’t really care if I was alive or not. “You could have informed me about this job,” he said, his unblinking eyes indicating his rage! “What are you doing in this household, Bethany?” He inquired. “I work here,” I said what Jacob ordered me to say when someone would ask about my identity. “What ab
***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
