Even though the weather was cold, Mabel felt hot because of the current position she was in. Was Christian really trying to make her fall more for him? If that was his goal, then he was succeeding as she felt her heart pounding in her chest and her cheeks turned red as various erotic images came to her head. Mabel wanted to get out of her bed and at the same time, she wanted to remain in her position. She was sleeping in Christian's arms and she was unable to believe it. Her mind was going crazy with different wild thoughts and they did nothing to help her throbbing core. She pinned underneath him, scratching his back as he pounded mercilessly into her tight cunt. She blushed furiously at her brazen thoughts. She had been starved of sex for too long and that was the only reason why she was imagining such. “Stop moving and go to sleep, Pearson,” she heard Christian mumble sheepishly to her. That was what she was trying to do but how was she supposed to do so when all she could thi
“Don’t you dare,” Christian warned Dorian, who was about to say something. Knowing how his brother’s mind walked, he knew that Dorian was about to make an annoying remark and he wasn’t in the mood for it.“Good morning, Miss Pearson,” Dorian greeted, ignoring his brother’s warning. “Good morning, sir,” Mabel responded, just as she got to where they were. Dorian was about to say more when his phone rang. As soon as he saw who was calling, the excited expression changed to a frown. “Excuse me,” he said and immediately left, much to Christian’s relief. “What happened to him?” Mabel wondered. “Why not worry about yourself,” Christian said, and his words earned him a subtle glare from Mabel. The head helper came into view and she greeted Christian.“Have the team arrived?” He asked her, to which the elderly woman shook her head.Christian then turned to face Mabel, who was confused. “I’ll send you a number, call, and tell them that if they are not here within the next ten minutes, they
Without saying anything to the team, he led her out of the room as they were already running late.His phone rang before he could say anything to Mabel and he had to answer as it was a call from his dad. “Yes, Dad, I'm about to leave,” Mabel heard Christian say and it made her realize that he was talking to his father. It wasn’t until they got to the car did he get off the phone.“Good, now that we’re here, let’s lay some ground rules,” He turned to face her, and Mabel’s heart sank as she had expected him to compliment her. It wasn’t every day she looked this stunning.“Number one, you’re there to act as my date and your main duty is to keep other women as far away from me as possible,” he started.“I can’t control what they do or do not do,” Mabel pointed out. She was a nobody, a pest at the bottom of the rich chain, there was no way she would be able to do what Christian was asking her. “I don’t care how you do it, just make sure no one tries to flirt with me, or else, it’s coming
“Mom, did you see what I just saw?” Kendra asked, wanting to be sure she had seen right. There was no way, the person who passed by them, was Mabel, it was just not possible.“Let’s take this inside,” Claire said, as she smiled for the cameras before going inside the building. As soon as they were away from the cameras, a deep frown appeared on her face over what she had just witnessed. Just yesterday, she and Anthony had gone over to her house to see her after being unable to reach only one for them to notice Christian’s car in front of her house. Her fears were coming true. Mabel was indeed getting Christian to fall for her and the girl herself confirmed it when she texted her father this morning, telling him that she was at Christian’s house. And if Claire had any doubts about it, what she just witnessed, had cleared every single one of those doubts. Everyone knew how much Christian wasn’t interested in being in a relationship. The fact that he brought Mabel to the wedding, ins
Upon hearing what Reginald said, Mabel realized that meant either her father or her brother would be at the party and her eyes unconsciously scanned the hall looking for either of the two. She however didn’t find them as it was a big hall and there were many guests. By the time she returned her attention to her table, Reginald and Kate were already on their feet.“You look good, Miss Pearson,” Reginald complimented her before turning to leave and as soon as they were gone, Mabel heaved a sigh of relief as she had made it out alive. The wedding reception started soon after and it was all fun and partying. Christian, however, didn't get up from his seat and Mabel was happy about that. Her eyes went over to the bride and groom who were busy dancing with their friends and she smiled as it was a beautiful sight. However, she had no intention of ever getting married especially when she remembered that her mother getting married, destroyed her life and that of her daughter.Christian on
“Try to quit being a player and watch as you change into a better person,” Christian jabbed at the man. He was the youngest son of one of the famous producers in the entertainment industry. However, unlike his hardworking father, all he did was lavish his father’s money on girls and expensive things.“How about I have a taste of your woman before I quit,” he said as a joke. However, the same couldn’t be said for Christian who almost attacked the man if not for Mabel’s intervention.“It’s fine, I’m not offended,” Mabel said as she held Christian’s hand. Christian, however, wasn't ready to let it slide. “You seem to have forgotten my reputation and what I can do to you and your ‘daddy’,” he growled in anger as his eyes darkened. “I’m sorry, I was being foolish,” the man immediately apologized.“Scram,” Christian ordered and the man didn’t need to be told twice as he and his date immediately left, leaving only Christian and Mabel at the table. “You didn’t have to scare him off like t
Mabel read the message over and over again, desperately hoping that she had read wrong but no matter how many times she did, the contents remained the same. Her father had sent her a message through an unknown number asking her to do the unthinkable and in the message, he said if she did what he asked, he would finally release her grandparents from where he had been keeping them captive. This was all she had ever wanted since he took them away from her because they had dared to help her, but at what cost? This went against everything she stood for and she would never be able to live with herself if she did it. How would she be able to take the life of the man she had started developing feelings for? Her father’s message was simple and clear, it was for her to take the drink that a waiter would offer to her and feed it to Christian. Even though her father hadn’t explicitly stated that the drink would kill him, following the events that had happened and how much she knew her father,
Mabel thankfully didn’t have any objection to it and before she entered, he checked if her family was in there, not giving a damn about his reputation, but they weren’t, neither was anyone and so, he waited outside.As soon as she was alone, Mabel gripped the sink tightly over the pain she was feeling, which had kicked in moments ago. She looked at the mirror and saw that her pupils had dilated while her breathing turned slow and heavy.Just as she was still trying to numb the pain away, she started to cough blood and everything suddenly became blurry as she dropped to the floor and clutched her stomach in pain while writhing silently as she didn’t want Christian to know what was happening to her.However, through her hazy vision, she saw the door burst open and she saw a familiar person run to her. He said something that she couldn’t hear as all that was ringing in her ears were her heartbeats which appeared to be slowing down with every passing second.“I’m sorry for lying but I cou
Eugene stared at the mansion which was built away from a residential area in the middle of nowhere which was swarming with guards and he squinted his eyes.His brother had to be very foolish if he thought he didn't keep an eye on him even while outside the country. There was no property his brother brought that he didn't know about and that included those that weren't even bought in George's name.He was standing in one of such mansions and he chuckled when he saw the guards as if they would stop him from getting his hands on George.“Dad, please get a move on it!” He heard Mabel say to him through the earpiece that was shoved in his ear.His children as well as Christian had wanted to come along but he refused as this was something he wanted to do by himself. It was a score only brother-to-brother could settle.Seeing as they wanted in on the action, he settled for attaching a camera to himself so they could see what was going on.Hearing how Mabel was impatient, he nodded to his ri
Eugene paced around the room as he waited for the asshole to be brought in. The bastard had dared to treat his daughter like that? He would make him pay for the rest of his pathetic life.The door opened and he came face to face with the bastard. The guard nodded to him after which he closed the door.“Who are you?” Anthony squinted his eyes at Eugene who immediately closed the gap before them and landed a punch to the former's face.“Are you crazy?” Anthony roared as he moved to attack Eugene.Eugene easily dodged and he landed another punch on Anthony. This time, to the gut.“That is nothing compared to the hell you put my daughter through for the last sixteen years,” Eugen growled and the realization hit Anthony.“Eugene Lansley and it's not a pleasure to meet you,” He said as he lifted Anthony and threw him against the table.“Guards!” Anthony called when he realized he wasn't against the man who was allegedly Mabel's father.“You decided to punish my daughter because your fragil
Kate then smiled at her and she smiled back. Mabel felt Christian rub her fingers and when he turned to look at him, he had a smile on his face as he was happy that they had sorted out their differences.Mabel and his mother were the two most important women in his life and he was happy they had found a way to co-exist. “I'm going to kill him,” they suddenly heard Eugen roar. Everyone at the table with the exception of Mabel immediately got up to see what the commotion was all about. When Christian noticed that she wasn't following, he immediately came back and dragged her away from her seat.“What happened?” Mabel heard Reginald ask when they got to where Eugene was. He was currently heading out of their mansion but he stopped upon hearing Reginald speak.“Check your phone, George has made his move,” Eugene told George. He had been in the middle of catching up with Dorian when he got a call from his men asking him to check his phone and when he did, his blood boiled when he saw the
Dorian didn't like how Pauline blamed herself and so he decided to hug her to assure her that he wasn't mad. It wasn't her fault and people dealt with grief differently. He didn't want to imagine what would have gone on in her head after losing her second child. “I'm so sorry, honey,” Pauline apologized as she hugged Dorian back. All those years of suffering immediately vanished from her head as she held her son. Her mind took her to when he was pregnant with him and how he had troubled her by keeping her up late at night. She remembered the first time he kicked her and how she had been so excited to see him. She had been so happy that she got a son as she won the bet against Eugene who prayed for a daughter, one that would look like her while she wanted a mini Eugene.“It’s not your fault,” Dorian stated. If there was one thing the accident that almost claimed his life had taught him, it was that life was too short for him to delay accepting his parents who had already been throu
When Mabel opened her eyes, she saw that it was already morning and when she turned to look at Christian, she saw that he was not beside her and when she touched the bed, it was cold.She immediately picked up her phone to see if he had left a message and sure enough he had. He informed her that he was going to visit George’s mansion as the bastard had gone into hiding. Her eyes darkened when she remembered what George had attempted to do to her had Christian not shown up. As violated as she felt, Christian had made her feel better by holding her in his arms till she fell asleep. Thoughts about Dorian and the two people who were claiming to be her parents rang in her head but she pushed them to the back of her head as she wasn’t playing when she said they weren’t her parents, nor Dorian her brother. Her stomach growled, reminding her of the fact that she didn’t have dinner or lunch the previous day. Without wasting time, she quickly brushed her teeth and headed down to have whatever
Dorian turned to look at the woman who had fallen asleep beside him, which was the reason why he had asked to watch a movie in the first place. He had known that she would be too worried, and he didn’t want that.He gently made her lie on the bed, after which he covered her up. Taking one last look at her, he headed out of the room and gently closed the door behind him.Without wasting time, he headed straight to the liquor room and when he got there, he stopped in his tracks when he saw Christian already seated down and he already had a glass in his hands.“I’ve been waiting for you,” Christian stated as he tapped the other glass he had brought out. “How’s Mabel?” Dorian inquired as he went to sit beside Christian.“She’s sleeping,” Christian answered as he poured a drink for Dorian. “What about Nala?” “Sleeping as well.” Dorian didn’t waste any time in gulping down the contents of the glass. “A lot has happened,” Christian sighed as it still felt surreal to know that his brother
“Dorian, how do you feel?” Nala asked him as she entered his room. They were currently in Christian’s mansion as Kate had refused to allow him to go back home. She wanted the entire family to be together so her mind could be at rest. Nala couldn’t sleep as she wanted to see Dorian to know how he was holding up, hence, the reason she came to his room.“I don’t know, Nala. I don’t feel anything and it’s puzzling,” Dorian answered. He didn’t know how he was supposed to feel after finding out that Mabel was his sister and that his actual parents were back.Ever since he was young, he had wanted to know who his father was and after he had found out that his mother wasn’t his real mother, he had been itching to know who his parents were and now that he had discovered who they were, he didn’t know what to feel. All the taunts about him being a pauper who leeched off a rich family came to his head and he didn’t even feel excited to know that it wasn’t true. He just felt numb.He turned to
Everyone turned to face her and they watched as she stood up. “Because one bastard says you're my biological parents, doesn't mean I'll accept you as my parents,” Mabel stated and it was as if someone had poured ice on Eugene and Pauline.“Mabel…” Eugene was the first to speak.“My mother died because your brother killed her. You two are not my parents and you are not my brother,” she faced Dorian.“So I suggest you don’t think too much about it and leave me alone,” she told them and with that, she turned and headed up to her room so she could finally get the rest she needed.Pauline blinked hard to stop the tears from falling. After years of sorrow, she finally found her happiness and her daughter wasn't accepting of her and that hurt deeply. Christian immediately got up and he followed Mabel as if there was someone she would talk to, it would be him.When he entered his room, he saw her changing into one of his shirts and he smiled before he approached her.“Go have a shower and ch
When they however got back to the mansion, they found something waiting for them there. “What the hell?!” Dorian exclaimed when he saw the gates of the mansion had been brought down.Christian frowned as he had spoken to his father minutes ago and the old man didn't tell him that something had happened or did it happen after the call.The guard at the gate on seeing the car quickly approached them.“What happened?” Aaron was the one who asked and the guard didn't waste any time in narrating all that took place that night.After the guard was done, Mabel raised her head and she turned to look at Dorian especially due to the fact that the guard said the man bore a resemblance to Dorian. It couldn't be, Mabel thought to herself.“Let's go meet them,” Christian simply said and Aaron drove past the gates of the mansion.When they got to the mansion, Dorian was the first to get down and Christian assisted Mabel. Her heart pounded in her chest as there was a possibility that George's brothe
