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.

    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

    I should have been able to put the dreaded kiss behind me, but I couldn't! Instead, I lamented my misfortune at being kissed by a man who was even more evil than Lucifer himself. Despite the fact that it was not my first encounter with him, I felt filthy and violated.I lost count of how many times I washed my teeth and cleaned my mouth in an attempt to forget about the kiss. Then, remembering how I had tried to return the kiss, I sighed in embarrassment, and Jacob insulted me even more by laughing!The next morning, I was surprised to see a man standing outside my room. My brow furrowed as I looked at the hulking man for the first time. "Who are you?" I asked about him."I'm your bodyguard, Miss." He replied.What a delightful surprise! Despite the fact that I was only a maid, I was assigned a bodyguard. I stormed into Jacob's room, yelling at the man. I wasn't prepared to face him again after that heinous kiss, but I didn't have a choice!Nothing is more ridiculous than a maid havin

    My mood darkened like the draperies on his window when he smirked, and I saw blood! I was taken aback by his arrogance and started walking away, but I came to a halt when I heard him laugh. He must have thought I was a coward because I couldn't meet his demands.I cursed him and said, "I hope you get herpes soon," as I walked away. It was impolite to wish someone ill, but he brought out the worst in me. When I exited his room, I saw the bodyguard but ignored him. I shouldn't vent my rage on him because he did nothing wrong.Jacob grabbed my arm as I walked into my room. “Hey!” I yelled at him for being disrespectful."That was mean, Bethany," he said."What exactly did you mean by that?" When I wanted you to get herpes as soon as possible? Do you think you're unworthy?" I didn't mind if I hurt his feelings. I simply stopped caring, and he should know that he is the one who is wrong, not me!"This is your chance to apologize to me," he said.“Apologize?” Smirking at his demeanor, I res

    I was not pleased when Jacob announced that he would fuck a different lady every day. I was sick to my stomach! Every time someone graced his bed for sexual pleasure, even though it was none of my business, I despised it.I went to see Jacob one morning and found him in the billiards room. He was surprised to see me, but I had no choice! "Sure thing, I'll do it!" I told him about it. Jacob smirked and closed the distance between us, staring into my soulful eyes, when I finally gave up."What factors influence your decision, Bethany?" He whispered something into my ear.I wasn't sure what had prompted me to decline his offer, but one thing was certain: I didn't want anyone near him! Every time he went to see his women, I wanted to stop him. I wanted to scream whenever those women looked at him from a distance during mealtime, but I wasn't in a position to be envious!To put it another way, I had no reason to be jealous. So, after a few seconds, I replied, "I'm not sure.""You want me,"

    "And what about me?" Odette was the one who asked the question."How are you doing, sweetheart?" The woman gulped for air when Jacob inquired. Odette's rage flared in my direction, and she strode over to me and grabbed my hair before Jacob could intervene."How could you?" She yelled angrily.I was caught off guard when Odette attacked me. I was stunned and unable to respond! Jacob's voice was the one that jolted me awake. Then I made every effort to flee Odette, but she had gone insane and was clutching my hair ferociously."Odette, stop this right now!" Odette ignored him, and all he could do was gasp as her sharp nails scraped my face.I felt a sting as Odette's long nails pierced my skin and knew it would leave a mark. "Do you believe you're insane?" I yelled at Odette, but all she did was laugh.I turned my attention to Jacob, glaring at him because it was his fault. As a result of him, I suffered at the hands of his mistress. When Jacob finally managed to separate Odette and me,

    I was expecting something more sensual and intimate between us, but all I got was a letdown. Following the restroom incident, Jacob gradually distanced himself from me.Most of the time, he's probably on a conference call or reading. He was too busy to talk to me, which irritated me! I wanted to pay him visits every day, but Jacob made that impossible.Furthermore, I couldn't figure out why I was missing him when we lived in the same house! Is it true that my feelings for him have gotten out of hand? We ran into each other in the corridor one day after both of us exited our bedrooms at the same time. Jacob's disregard for me was perplexing. As he walked past me, I grabbed his arm and stopped him."What are you up to, Jacob?"Jacob's gaze shifted from my delicate hand on his arm to me. "I'm doing the right thing, Bethany," he said."Like you're ignoring me?" If you keep acting like this, I'd rather leave Jacob." I gave him an ultimatum because my annoyance had reached a boiling point a

    I was disappointed when Jacob flatly refused my invitation. I tried to sleep by closing my eyes, but I couldn't fall asleep. I got out of bed, annoyed that I didn't get what i wanted, and made my way to the door. I tiptoed down the hallway to Jacob's room, exhaling deeply as I paused outside his door. I stood near the door but couldn't bring myself to knock. I couldn't decide whether to knock or go back to my room. I took another deep breath and closed my eyes. When I felt confident enough to announce my presence, I raised my hand and knocked on his door.The door opened with only three knocks, and I swallowed the lump in my throat while trying to calm my heartbeat. I wasn't supposed to be nervous in his presence, but the way he looked at me was out of the ordinary.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 i

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!

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

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.
