I dragged my body out of bed and instantly met with a slight burning between my legs. I blush from head to toe remembering our passionate night. He had fucked me into submission. I could still feel his sinister hands roaming shamelessly all over my body, leaving a sizzling feeling.I move towards the bathroom, eager for the hot shower after yesterday's event. I was still covered with sweat and cum. Crossing the threshold into the bathroom, she stopped to look at herself in the mirror. My left cheek had already bruised and swelling up.Peeling my clothes, I threw them in the basket before I stepped into a warm shower. Once, I was done with the shower. I put on a random dress and limped all the way down the stairs.Right as I finished descending the stairs. I was greeted with the sight of a very happy and cheerful May and Sandra. They were engaged in some conversation. Their heads turned towards me as they felt my presence. The smile on their faces faded in a matter of seconds, making t
The first thing I did after I entered the room was, dropped my butt on the mattress. My hand clasped over my mouth to stifle the pained sob spilling like heavy rainfall.Relax Hope everything is fine. Please don't cry, you are stronger than this. I kept on chanting trying to reassure myself. I don't know how long I sat there trying to console myself but my muscles, veins, and nerves felt numb.Slowly numbness left my body and a sickening emotion bubbled my gut making me feel nauseous. My head was throbbing and my throat was hoarse. I could barely breathe. I was sure I would faint any minute now. My fingers were rapidly trembling and I had to clench my fingers into a fist trying to gain control of my trembling finger and fortunately, it worked.I rose from the bed and was about to take a step towards the bathroom but the sound of the creak opening of the door got my attention. Second, later Xavier emerged from the small door.What does he want now?His presence always brought an overwh
I was so engrossed in my hiding I didn't hear someone approaching. "Why are you hiding?" A voice said from behind me, startling me.I whirled and came face to face with Elena who was gazing at me with a confused expression as to why I was hiding there as if I was a thief.Slightly relieved, my hand flew to my chest trying to even out my racing heart. "You scared me," My tone came out as an accusation rather than a statement."I'm sorry, I did mean to scare her but are you okay?" She asked, looking at my horrible state.I'm sure I must look like a witch with blood-red eyes, hair flying east-west and north and south, swollen lips and face and skin which resembled fresh red tomatoes."Yes...Yes," I lied trying my best to sound believable but clearly, it didn't work as Elena gave me a worried yet suspicious look. She has me all figured out. I bit my lower lip, suddenly feeling uneasy.Without another word I turned and walked towards the kitchen. I was relieved she did try to stop me and i
Upon hearing those words the room fell in eerie silence. May's smile vanished. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets and her mouth dropped open in pure shock. She stared at me as if I had lost my mind. I don't blame her though, I was not in my right mind to think straight. There was a lot going through my mind.And don't even talk about Xavier. I couldn't even look at him. I was afraid to look at him. Oh god, what he must have been thinking about me."How desperate are you... you want to fuck my boyfriend," May bellowed, clearly outraged.I was myself stunned after her remark or may I say accusation. This girl has some gut and no brain to say those things. She is acting as if I am the cheater here. This girl really desperately need the reality check and I planned to do exactly that."Your boyfriend?-" I let out a snort "-Last time I checked he was my husband, mine not yours," I said, correcting her and also making sure to emphasize mine."You are not even denying you want to fuc
My gaze went to the man who was sound asleep. Xavier slept flat on his stomach, his head in my direction. He closed his eyes and felt his facial muscles seem to relax. His eyelashes abnormally, long, and thick touch his cheekbones, and his lips parted, giving a sight of his teeth which resembled a pearl. He looked so innocent sleeping.A blush coated my cheeks as I remembered our lovemaking just a few hours ago. Xavier is always rough but tonight it was beyond anything I have experienced with him. At some time I begged him to stop but Xavier being Xavier, chose to act deaf to my plea and continued to fuck me to oblivion.I was exhausted. Why would I not be Xavier had worn me out but sleep seemed unlikely. My mind is alive with thoughts and all that has transpired. I had already decided what to do but I wasn't happy about it, rather the opposite.It was past midnight and I lay remaining wide awake beside him, listening to the sound of his rhythmic breathing.Xavier moved slightly in hi
"Don't forget to do your assignment " The teacher reminded, for the tenth time before wrapping up the lecture.Few of the students murmured okay and some had already started to assemble their stuff and some had already made their way out of the lecture room.Another assignment!A frustrating sign escapes me. I don't know how many assignments Mr. Smith is going to give us. I mean this is the fourth assignment she has given us this month but what can be done. It's not like we have a say in it.I garnered my belongings that were carelessly dispersed on the table. Dumping the pile of books and stationery into my bag, I picked myself up from the seat before making my way down to the exit.Annabella aka Anna must be waiting for me. She is not exactly a forbearing character and I'm not primed nor willing to face her outrage. A small smile graced my lips as I saw Anna standing on the other side of the door waiting for me.Her upturned-shaped eyes were outlined with black liquid eyeliner in th
The cafe was really slow today. Almost empty. And this day didn't seem to go any slower. Propping my chin in the palm of my right hand my orbs wander around the room, I stared out the window to overcome this boredomSoon Xavier invaded my thoughts. As soon as it came I let out a frustrating sound escape my lips and I mentally cursed myself for again going back into the memories.It's been three years since I left the house and since I divorced Xavier. Yes, divorced. I had sent a divorce paper a few months after I left the house.I remember how depressed I was at the beginning. My days were depressing. My nights were restless and invaded with Xaviers thought, hunger, and smile seemed a rare guest. I couldn't function properly. In general, I had forgotten to live my life. It took quite a time to accumulate with my new life but I had eventually learned to adjust.These past three years I have tried to avoid thinking about him but no matter how much I tried I found myself thinking about h
As soon as I entered the house my nose instantly picked the aroma of grilled chicken floating in the air. The delicious aroma had my mouth water fueling my hunger further.Ignoring my begging stomach, I walked further inside the house and headed to the kitchen. My eyes brightened in delight at the sight of Granny who was setting the utensils on the table.Granny is half-American, half-Italian with beautiful coffee eyes and tan skin. Her long brown hair was pulled into a tight bun. Even at the age of seventy-three, she looked breathtaking. She still maintains herself and it shows.Her story was very similar to mine. Granny and her husband fell in love and had married. But even after three years, they couldn't have a baby which resulted in the start of discussions. Which turns everyday things. One day she wasn't feeling that good so she took a half-day and returned home earlier only to find her husband tangled naked with another woman.But unlike me, she didn't sit there tolerating ever
As soon as Lucas was out of my sight I swiveled around directing my gaze towards Kandel who was now struggling to get herself in her feet.I instantly rushed to her side and draped my arm around her shoulder supporting her battered and weak body. Her swollen and red eyes flickered upon me at the contact."Let me help you," I said with a forced smile on my face.She stared at me before passing a forced smile of her own. Once I helped her on her feet and led her towards the bed. Before we could reach there her ankle twisted. She almost tripped down but thankfully my reflex kicked in and my hold tightened."Careful," I softly utter."I'm sorry," she croaked out.I threw a small smile wordlessly reassuring her everything was okay before laying her in the middle of the bed. I looked at the bedside table but found the jar empty."I'll go get some water for you" Saying I bend down do grab the handle of the empty jar. My movements were restrained as a hand latched mine.Drawing my eyes toward
I absolutely hate being in his presence and here I'm kissing him. It took everything in me not to jerk away from him. Somehow, I managed to gather courage to touch my lips with his but I froze after that. Our lips were touching each other but were completely immobilized as if .I am not even exaggerating, this has to be the most awkward thing I have ever experienced in my entire life.The absence of emotions from Elijah had self-doubt creeping in once again. How did I even think I would be able to seduce him? I know I look much better than what I used to a few years back, but am I attractive? I don't think so.Feeling absolutely hopeless, I decide to drop this seduction act. It's not working anyway. I just hope I am not in trouble. This was such a bad idea in many ways. I wanted to slap myself for being so stupid.Right when I was about to retract a step back. He snaked his buff arms around my hip and jerked me forward, making me collide with his toned body. A yelp escaped me, taken a
My eyes clouded, blurring my vision as a wave of dizziness hit me.Not again....I internally huff in vexation.My stomach felt upset and a wave of nausea came over me.I wanted to pull my hair in frustration. As if my life didn't have enough problems, now I am sick too and it's been a week and there is no sign of any improvement. Instead, it's getting worse with each passing day. I am struggling to find happiness in my life. God I am being too dramatic these days. Yes, my life is a mess, but I don't have to replay misfortune when something happens.I was just thinking when someone entered the kitchen. Upon looking behind, I found one person. I had almost forgotten the whole existence of the person.Andrea.Her eyes instantly locked with mine. She seemed satisfied to see the shock in my eyes. Lowering my head, I tried to concentrate on the boiling pork meat which I was craving so badly. Even though I don't work as a maid anymore. I cook something for myself."My my I see you are still
"Relax babe she didn't mean it. I am sure she was scared," Kendal made up trying to control the situation."No, I meant each and everything, trust me," The words fell out of my mouth in a confident tone. I don't know where I was getting the courage from, but I was proud of myself even knowing my action could be lethal.Kandel's eyes enlarged for a split second before narrowing, seemingly pleading me to shut up and let her speak. I appreciated her concern for me, but I wasn't in a mood to back down. At this point, I didn't even care that I was crossing my line. I was sick and tried of people treating me like dirt and using me as their wish.My remark was followed by Luca's humorless laugh, but for a moment before he grew serious once again. "See this bitch. I'll strip out all her attitude today,""Lucas, relax please," Kandel pleaded. She sounded close to crying."I would like to see you try," I threw back. I knew I was acting stupid, but like I mentioned, I didn't care anymore.Having
Drawing a frustrated sigh out of me, I snuggled into the comforter. It was already two in the morning and I was feeling restless. For the past five hours I have been trying and twisting, deriving no sleep. Despite the tiredness I feel, I can't sleep at night.Facing up towards the ceiling, I began thinking about my life. My life has drastically changed in a matter of a few months. Not even in my worst nightmare did I imagine I would be stuck in such a surreal situation. I somehow have to survive in this dark world and I have no idea how long I'll manage to survive.After several minutes, the sudden sound of the door creaking open had my neck twisted on its own to the direction of the door. My eyebrows drew together in confusion. How could it be sneaking inside at this time?My ear picked up an unsteady footstep entering the room. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw was a figure. The room was pitch dark, which made it impossible for me to identify the person. From the blurry bulky frame
I looked up at her. Worry lines formed on her forehead, making her gorgeous face look a bit more mature than she normally does. No matter how much her habit of constantly wanting to know my business irritates me. I have to admit this girl is an epitome of beauty and kindness. They fact she bothered to ask say what a kind soul she is."I fell?" My tone was unsure as I came up with a ridiculous excuse which screamed a lie to my own ears and on top of that, it didn't even come as a statement but rather a question."You fell?" Disbelief evident in her tone and face, suggesting she'd caught me out in some misdemeanor.Involuntarily, my eyes went to Elijah. Surprisingly, his gaze was already on me. No concern or regard, no ounce of empathy. As if nothing had happened and he had done nothing wrong. Suppressing the urge to punch him, I turned back to Kendal.God, I am so done with being interrogated every time."Yes, I fell," I answered with a short, awkward laugh.My reaction had her frown d
My eyelids fluttered in an attempt to open it but I couldn't. My eyes felt like they were carrying the weight of an elephant. After a few attempts, I successfully opened them but clenched them back instantly, when the warm and bright sunbeams fell directly on my eyes, burning them.A brief moment after, I pried my eyes open. With my blurred vision, I was incapable of distinguishing anything more than their vague shapes.I slowly hoist my tired body up into a sitting position, leaning my body against the headpost, rubbing my eyes at the same time in an endeavor to clear my cloudy vision. This time my vision was very clear but still a bit dim, so blinking rapidly, I tried to adjust to a bright ray surrounding the room.My lips parted as an unladylike yawn threatened to float out of my lips, but instead a hiss escaped my lips at the sharp pain that hit me. My jaw felt like it had been dislocated. For a second I thought I must have slept in an odd position, but then the vivid memory of y
I averted my attention back to Elijah, only to find his unwavering gaze was lingering on me. There was no gentleness in his eyes, rather annoyance.'Oh god he seems livid'Before I could apologize for zoning out, the loud ringing of Elijah's cell phone intruded the room, cutting off the tense atmosphere. Letting out a groan, he produced his phone from his jacket's pocket, checked the caller ID.Lazily swiping the screen to the left, he sticks the gadget to his left ear. "Speak," is all he says, in an impassive tone."I don't have time for it," Elijah replied after a brief second. His tone was nonchalant as always.Whatever the person on the other side of the line said had him mumbling something under his breath, seemingly pissed. It was beyond obvious he was beginning to lose his calm, judging from the ticking of his muscles."I said I don't have time," This tone was crisp.This time the calmness in his tone wavered slightly, yet he managed to shake my heart. This man scares me to my
Elijah touched her bruised cheek, making her smile fade. Her eyes dropped down for a split second as if she had been busted doing something wrong. When she looked up again, she had recovered and put on another smile, but this time it wasn't genuine. Her eyes clearly reflected her inner state, regardless of an attempt to mask it."He, did it?" Although it came across as a question, something told me he just wanted confirmation from her.And who is this he?Who is he?Brother?Father?"What do you mean?" She feigned unawareness, fidgeting her finger.She was clearly disinterred in having conversation or more like this specific discussion. Her whole behavior screamed that whoever he was, he successfully sowed deep terror in her."You know what I mean. Stop trying to dodge my question, answer before I lose my shit,""Please don't."This time she made no effort to hide the hint of gloom in her eyes. Elijah chuckled humorlessly, his eyes gleaming with a fierce frenzy."Yes, or No?" He growl
