When I heard him mention my father’s name, I gaped in shock! It was scary to think that he might know my father. Still, I couldn’t ask him for further details and decided to lie. “No, I don’t know anyone by the name of Roger Middleton. Why do you ask?”

“Never mind, Miss Beautiful. Hmmm nice to meet you, Bethany,” he said, and then he winked at me before leaving. “Oh, by the way, I think you will like the cake that my mother baked earlier. Please wait here.”

My gaze followed him as he entered his house, and I waited for him to emerge with the cake he had promised to give me. Even from a distance, I could tell it was freshly baked and delicious. When he handed it to me, I said, "Thank you."

"Don't forget to share it with your family," Pedro said before returning to his unit, and I felt like a schoolgirl having a crush on him. I was overjoyed as I shut the door and began eating the cake Pedro had given me.

When Jacob came home, I was on my second slice, and he had a scowl on his face

    Several hours have passed since we got home from the hospital, and I kept on glaring at Jacob. He knew he was allergic to the chocolate cake, but he went on eating the entire damn thing just to make me feel guilty. I couldn’t read what was inside his head, but I could tell there were a lot of nasty things inside it. What happened to him? Every single day, he became worse, and as time passed by, the memory with him during that night, when he used to be gentle and kind to me, faded slowly.Late in the afternoon, Pedro came by and he invited me for a coffee break. He said there was a small coffee shop about two blocks away from our homes. I agreed, but I had to return to the house to change my outfit. A few minutes later, I was ready to go, but I found Jacob leisurely lounging in the living room, and as soon as he saw me, he immediately frowned.“Where do you think you’re going?” He inquired.“Pedro invited me for a coffee break,” I replied.“Did you ask for my permission to go out?”“I

    I was terrified when I recognized the lust in his eyes so I stormed past him as fast as I could. He called my name several times but I had no plan of acknowledging it. I went straight to my room and stayed there for the time being.Later on, I had no choice but to get out of the room in order to cook his dinner. Fortunately, he was nowhere in the house, and I was relieved. I was able to prepare his food in a timely manner, and once I was done, I decided to eat ahead of him. Then, I returned to my room. Seeing him so worked up whenever I was around has terrified me. He was the kind of a man that I should avoid at all costs, and I should have known better before flirting with him that night. Well, it already happened and I could no longer change it, however, I didn’t want to have another intimate encounter with the man. Lately, he has been trying my patience, and the more he would irritate me, the more I noticed him.If only Dale would come back home as soon as possible, then maybe, I w

    Jacob made the decision to be rude to me, and I was baffled as to why he felt it necessary to go to such great lengths to aggravate me. Since he treated me in all honesty as his slave, I had no right to complain. I didn't question it; I just obeyed his order and went with the flow.I did the cleaning while Jacob ate his meal, and by the time I was done, it was almost time for me to start preparing his supper. Despite the fact that I was completely spent, I couldn't suppress the excitement that I felt. He promised I could have a day off, and I planned to spend it with my daughter.One evening, my insatiable appetite for knowledge won out, and I made up my mind to investigate the location where Jacob kept his mistresses. Because the glass door was left open, I was able to hear the women in the room perfectly as they discussed various beauty tips and techniques. Suddenly, one of the girls got to her feet and made preparations to leave. Her peers cheered for her as though she were competi

    I was reading a book in the living room when he came in. The following day, he approached me again as if nothing had happened earlier in the kitchen. I assumed he was going on a date because he was dressed casually. Nevertheless, his love life or sex life was none of my business! I waited for him to walk towards the door but he stopped and stood in front of me.“I am done with the cooking and cleaning,” I told him defensively in case he planned to scold me for not doing my job."Let's go shopping," he suggested, and I stared at him in disbelief.“We?” I asked but then I realized that he may need an assistant to carry his shopping bags later. I was about to ask something else, such as the time we had to leave, and our destination, when his expression suddenly changed."Are you deaf?”“Jacob, you didn't have to insult me. I was only asking because I wasn’t sure why you have to take me shopping,” I reasoned out."Go change your clothes," he said."I'm not in the mood to leave the house

    When I heard his command to massage my legs, I immediately narrowed my eyes at him. He also glared, and he didn’t like my defiance. I wanted to suggest he could call for home service from a professional masseuse, but the thought of another woman touching him didn’t sit well with me.I wasn't sure why I became obedient when he ordered me to massage his legs; perhaps I just felt bad for him, or I was slowly attracted to him. On the other hand, he was obviously tired, so I figured it was the least I could do. I massaged him for thirty minutes, pressing his muscles at all times. All I could hear were his groans. Was he even moaning? I wasn't sure, but one thing was certain: he was pleased with my services. He had no idea my father used to ask me to massage his tired legs after a long day of meeting with his council."Are you feeling better now?" Before I stopped doing it, I asked him."Yes, please go on,” he told me.I continued to massage his legs but after thirty minutes, I drained all

    One day, when Jacob was away, I decided to pay a visit at Pedro’s house. I couldn’t explain it but I wanted to keep Pedro as a friend. We had the same vibes, and I loved his sense of humor. I took a deep breath outside Pedro's room before approaching his door and knocking for strength and courage. "Hello," I murmured, smiling at the most attractive man I'd ever seen, and when he smiled back, how do I express how excited and giddy I felt? Finally, I felt a million butterflies in my stomach, and I knew I'd slobber on him if I didn't close my lips immediately. "Please come in, Bethany." Pedro flung open the door wide to greet me. "Your place is nice," I said from the bottom of my heart, complimenting his space. Or else my mouth would start complimenting him on everything in seconds. Even as a housemaid, I was intrigued by the prospect of living with him. He was gentler than Jacob, and he didn't treat me as if I were a second-class citizen because of my current occupation. "How are thi

    The house was deafeningly quiet, so I assumed Jacob had gone wherever he pleased. Then I didn't notice a piece of paper taped to my bedroom door. What on earth is going on here? I cursed aloud after reviewing my daily schedule. I accidentally kicked a nearby trash can, which I later regretted when I had to clean it up. Jacob tried to make me pay for something over which I had no control. It was unfair, and he was annoying! Pedro and I had planned to eat dinner together, but he had to leave, so I waited for Jacob. I waited in the living room until midnight, but he didn't come home. I waited until one o'clock and then went to my room when he didn't appear. I needed to sleep because it was late. When I closed my eyes, I could see his face, and I couldn't help but worry about him. What is the reasoning behind this? I tossed and turned in my bed, hoping he'd arrive home safely. But where has Jacob gone? I forced myself to stay awake, and it was around four a.m. when I heard his car outs

    For a few days, Jacob and I had a strained relationship. Finally, I had no choice but to ignore him because he usually ignored me. I returned to my room after finishing my duties, which included cooking and cleaning.I was alone and alone in my room when I realized the time had come for me to move on. I should talk about my pay with Jacob as soon as he gets home. I couldn't wait any longer, and I needed to get away from the people who had recently caused me concern.Pedro paid me a visit one night, but his timing was off. Jacob was inebriated and irritable. When I looked at Jacob, I couldn't understand what he was thinking, but his reactions told me he didn't like seeing Pedro's face in his house.Keeping this in mind, I refused to let Pedro inside and instead spoke with him at the door. "What brings you here, Pedro?" I was curious."You stopped seeing me," he replied."I'm just busy," I pretended."I'm missing you, Bethany," he admitted.Even though Pedro's statement was lovely, I co

    ***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.

    ***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.
