MY NEW ROLES AS A WIFE AND HOSTAGE As I sat there, lost in thought, I heard a knock at the bedroom door. I jumped, half-expecting to see Lysander, but instead, it was a woman I didn't recognize."Mrs. Vincenzo?" she said hesitantly. "I'm Samantha, the housekeeper. Mr. Vincenzo asked me to help you settle in."I stared at her for a moment, taking in her appearance. She was older than I expected, probably in her fifties, with graying hair pulled back in a neat bun. Her kind eyes crinkled at the corners as she smiled at me."Oh, um, hi," I said, suddenly feeling awkward. "I'm Kylie. But I guess you already knew that."Samantha’s smile widened. "It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Vincenzo. Is there anything you need help with?"I shook my head, then paused. "Actually, could you show me around? This place is like a maze.""Of course," she said, gesturing for me to follow her. "Let's start with the essentials."For the next hour, Samantha gave me a tour of the apartment, showing me where everythi
AFTER DINNER I dabbed concealer under my eyes, trying to hide the redness. God, I've been crying again. With a sigh, I smoothed down my skirt and tugged at my sleeveless blouse. I was going for casual but put-together. As if I could hide the mess I felt inside with a cute outfit.The city buzzed outside my window, but here, it was so quiet I could hear my own heartbeat. I felt like I was waiting for a bomb to go off. In a way, I guess I was. Lysander was coming, and I never knew what version of him I'd get.When the door opened, I nearly jumped out of my skin. Lysander filled the doorway, big and intimidating as always. But something was off. His eyes, usually sharp enough to cut glass, looked tired. His shoulders, normally squared like he was ready for a fight, seemed to sag a bit.I watched his eyes scan the room, taking in every detail. When he spotted the family photo on the nightstand, I blurted out, "I wasn't sure which was your side. I can move it to the other nightstand if yo
THE WEIGHT OF SILENCE AND LONELINESSI woke up to an empty bed. The sheets beside me were cool but rumpled, a silent reminder that Lysander had already left. For a moment, I just lay there, listening to the thick silence of the room, broken only by the distant hum of traffic far below. It felt wrong, waking up alone in this strange place.With a frustrated flick, I pushed off the soft blankets. My bare feet touched the cold, polished hardwood floor, sending a shiver up my spine. I reached for my phone, hoping for... something. A text. A note. Anything. But the screen was empty, just like the space beside me.Light streamed through the window, casting long shadows across the room. It should have been beautiful, but it only made me feel more alone. My pulse quickened as anger welled up inside me. Lysander knew I didn't know anyone in New York. How could he just leave me here like this?I was about to crawl back into bed and hide under the covers when a smell hit me – rich coffee mixed w
A LIFE UNDER WATCH The sound of my heels tapping against the pavement echoed in my ears, louder than it should have been. Each step felt faster, almost frantic, and I could sense Kim just a few feet behind me, his slow, deliberate strides a constant reminder that he was always there. Always watching. I didn’t bother turning around this time. I could feel his presence like a heavy shadow, looming behind me, making my skin crawl. It wasn’t that I was afraid of him — far from it — but the way he followed me, like I was some fragile thing that needed constant protection, grated on my nerves. I sucked in a breath of the crisp late afternoon air, trying to calm myself. The city was alive around me, a chaotic blend of car horns, murmuring voices, and the occasional clatter from nearby construction. Normally, I found comfort in the noise, the way it drowned out my thoughts. But today, it only made the tension in my chest worse.“Can you please walk beside me?” I finally snapped, throwing a
A DANCE OF FORBIDDEN PLEASURE "Yes... deeper, awhh" More moans could be heard as I peeped through.And there it was... the secret I craved to see.And sure it does hurt."Have it... ahhn, you want it.""Now beg!" Lysander said, panting as he gives the woman faint slaps on her ass from behind.The woman squeals in pleasure whilst sticking her tongues."Please... fuck... me.""Yes ah... ahh... umm!""Yes. There, yeah, there, deeper.""Go deeper!"The woman continues to moan loudly as her clutches on the bedsheets tightened... with her even bending over helplessly.Lysander went ahead and rubbed her clits as he gave her more reasons to moan out in pleasure.I watched it all happen in disappointment and disgust....he pulls out and had her turn with her back laying down in bed.Then goes ahead and gobble her up... sucking and flapping his tongue around and in her clitsThe woman's eyes roll in extreme bliss."G...od ...ahh... yh.. So good!" Her eyes were still white as she sticks her tong
THE SHADOWS OF INFIDELITY, AND FRACTURED VOWS BEYOND FORGIVENESS I slammed the door behind me, my chest heaving with anger and betrayal. The sound echoed through the apartment, but it wasn’t enough to drown out the whirlwind in my head. My heart pounded, not from fear, but from the sheer rage threatening to boil over.Kim’s eyes widened as he spotted me. His relief was almost palpable, but I didn’t care. The knot of fury in my chest only tightened.“Where’s Lysander?” I spat, my voice cold and biting. “Back with his whore?”Kim frowned, clearly uncomfortable, but he didn’t answer right away. His hand twitched toward his phone, probably ready to report to Lysander that I was home. Loyal to a fault, that one. Still, it grated on me — everyone was so damn loyal to Lysander, like he could do no wrong.I rolled my eyes at Kim’s silence and turned away, feeling the sting in my chest sharpening. Why was I even lashing out at him? He hadn’t done anything... But Lysander did. And that was eno
A MOMENT OF REFLECTION The room was dim, only a faint glow from a single lamp casting long shadows across the walls. The scent of leather and Lysander’s expensive cologne hung in the air, but none of it eased the tension sitting between them. Kylie sat stiffly, arms crossed, her jaw tight. She could feel Lysander's eyes on her, but she refused to meet his gaze. Lysander, leaning back in his chair, looked way too relaxed for her liking. His smirk was infuriating.“Other things?” He started, voice laced with amusement. “What kind of other things we talkin’ about, huh?” He cocked an eyebrow, the tease barely masking his smugness.Kylie rolled her eyes. “This is useless,” she snapped, turning her face away from him, trying to create some distance. Her fingers curled into tight fists, nails digging into her palms to keep herself from launching across the room and wiping that smirk off his face.“Useless, huh?” Lysander chuckled, the sound low and rough. “Nah, sweetheart. I’d say we’re ju
FROM DARKNESS TO DAWN "I’m dead tired. It’s way past late,” Kylie muttered, her voice low as she turned on her side, away from Lysander. The cool silk of the sheets felt like a relief against the heat that had built up between them throughout the evening, though not in the way Lysander had wanted. “Late?” Lysander scoffed, his voice cutting through the room like a knife. He wasn’t about to let this drop. His hand found her waist, lightly at first, but there was a firmness beneath it, like a guy who wasn’t used to being denied. “C’mon, you ain’t like other girls who get to pick and choose who they lose it to. I’m your husband.”Kylie’s body tensed beneath his touch, but she stayed silent, her heart pounding in her chest. Lysander’s grip tightened ever so slightly, his voice dropping as if the raw honesty in his next words would make a difference. “You scared I’m gonna be rough with you because of what you saw today?” His lips twisted into a smirk, the arrogance of his next sentence

"You don't have to carry this burden alone, Lysander. We're in this together. Always."He looked at her
THE RACE AGAINST TIMEWith the enemy closing in and the traitor still at large, Lysander and Kylie found themselves in a race against time to prevent a devastating attack. The suspense was palpable as they worked together to thwart the plan, risking everything to protect their people.The early morning sun barely peeked over the horizon when Lysander and Kylie gathered their team for an emergency meeting.

A major attack was imminent, and they had to act quickly to stop it.Kim displayed the latest information on the screen, her face grim. “They’re planning to hit multiple targets simultaneously.

THE UNEXPECTED ALLYIn the midst of their troubles, an unexpected ally emerged, someone from their past who had once been an enemy. This twist added a new layer of complexity to their situation, forcing them to rethink their strategies and alliances.It was late in the evening when Lysander received the call. The voice on the other end was familiar, yet unexpected. Dominic, the former rival who had provided them with information before, had reached out again. He claimed to have vital information that could change the course of their fight against the enemy.Lysander and Kylie were cautious but knew they couldn't afford to ignore the potential advantage. They arranged a meeting with Dominic in a neutral location, a discreet café in a quiet part of the city.

THE LOVER'S QUARRELThe strain of their dangerous lifestyle and Kylie’s undercover work began to take its toll on their relationship. They were both on edge, their emotions running high. One night, the tension finally erupted into a heated argument.“You’re risking too much!” Lysander shouted, his fear for her safety spilling over into anger. “This isn’t just about us anymore. It’s about the city, the people who depend on us.”Kylie’s eyes flashed with defiance. “I know what’s at stake, Lysander. But we can’t protect them if we don’t know what we’re up against. This is the only way.”The argument grew more intense, their words cutting deep. But as the anger subsided, they realized that their fear of losing each other was the real enemy.
