It was the beginning of spring. The sun shone brightly and the sky was so clear that it felt like magic. Birds chirped as they flew through the sky, with a melody so sweet it was hypnotizing.

After stepping out of the luxurious black car, James slowly walked up the path to Mina's house, carrying his small panda bag on his shoulders and looking down at the vibrant wildflowers that had burst into bloom along the path. The little puppy had already scurried to Mina's door, feeling a sense of comfort and relief at the prospect of returning home.

Emma soon joined her brother and they both stopped and took a moment to admire the beauty of the flower beds. The cold winter had been long, harsh and tedious, but the beginning of spring promised new life, warmth, and hope that everything would be fine.

"What's the matter?" Emma asked, seeing the kid standing quietly. It was so unlike him.

James looked up, sunlight glinting off his face, enhancing the beauty of his green eyes, but his endearing

    It was around six in the evening when Emma came home. Kate was on a call, looking a little anxious while Ivy sat alone in the corner staring at her mother quietly waiting for her attention. Though Emma was tired, seeing the little girl unattended, she accompanied Ivy. Her presence brought a much-needed splash of cheer. A minute later Kate hung up the call and, for a few seconds, looked at Emma thoughtfully, perceiving her behavior and the sadness in her eyes. Despite her warm smile and soft laughter, something seemed off about her. Her young spirit felt sad and forlorn. It was as if she was going through a lot. The younger one exuded depressed vibes. She remained silent for most of the time, seeking solace in solitude. While most girls of her age like to dress up, put on makeup, shop for the latest trends and attend parties, Kate hadn't seen Emma doing any of these things. Amanda's words suddenly made more sense and Kate felt a deep sorrow in her heart, realizing what Emma was e

    Emma tucked Ivy under the covers, and soon a stream of stories began to flow out of the little one. She kept talking fondly about James and Brownie and the wonderful time she had spent with them.Ivy was missing her newfound friends, especially James. Though she was shy at first but quickly opened up to him, laughing at all his silly jokes and loving all the crazy things they did together. James had been very kind to her and Ivy deeply admired him. His vibrant energy had fascinated her. Both kids varied significantly in personality; they were worlds apart. James was passionate and funny while Ivy was more timid and quiet, but they got along well."Good night," Ivy whispered and pecked Emma's cheek. From the second Ivy met Emma, she was overjoyed. Ivy's blue eyes would shine with boundless love and admiration every time she looked at her. Emma possessed poise, a strong aura of nobility and grace from which Ivy felt she could easily draw strength. And she did, every day. Their bond wa

    After an hour or more of driving on the winding roads, Kevin finally spotted a small house tucked away in the secluded wilderness. With ease, he steered his car onto the rustling leaf-strewn path and eventually stopped in front of an intricately designed gate that separated the quaint mansion from the surrounding woods. The uncertainty for what was to come rose inside Emma as she watched him step out of the car. Her heart pounded with anxiety at the thought of being so far away from the safety of the city and completely alone with him. She had an idea of what he would do to her, but given his raging anger, Emma feared that he might not only force himself upon her but bring physical and emotional harm as well. Though he had never hurt her physically before, yet she couldn't help but worry that this time things could be much worse. She had never seen him this angry. Taking a deep, desperate breath, Emma mustered all her courage and stepped out of the car ready to take whatever he w

    "Why don't you put these gorgeous lips to better use?" Kevin rasped, his voice deep and alluring as he hungrily stared at her full lips, imagining how they would feel around his length. Flames of desire began to rise within him, swiftly changing his fury into a profound need for her touch and warmth. And this wasn't the first time. Kevin recalled his ardent longing for her delicate lips kissing him and wrapped around him yet he never voiced his desire. She seemed unwilling to go to that level of intimacy and he never pushed her. Despite their countless sessions, there were still many things he hadn't tried with her—oral and French kiss topping the list. For a moment or two, Emma was unable to comprehend the words he had uttered so boldly. But then, seeing him perched on the bed, his legs spread out and his eyes focused on her lips, it dawned on her what he was asking for. A blowjob. Her cheeks turned a feverish red in shame and heat flooded her core for she had never encount

    Emma's gaze drifted to the clock as it ticked past midnight. The sound of breaking things that had been echoing through the room previously had stopped now. Perhaps his anger had been spent or maybe there was nothing left to break. With a renewed sense of hope, she gave the door a gentle knock in hopes that he would take her back now. But still, there was no response.Worried and unsure of what to do next, Emma stood in front of the huge glass window which offered a stunning view of the ocean. What a gorgeous place it was! To one side of the tiny mansion was a deep, lush forest, and to the other side a picturesque beach. She couldn't believe such beauty existed in this world—the house was a perfect escape from the worries of life. Emma slowly walked forward, captivated by the majestic beauty of the rolling waves crashing against the shore, their sound reverberating in the air. It was calming. She removed her heels and indulged in the sensation of the sand crunching wonderfully b

    "Will you forgive someone who has wronged you terribly?"Kevin watched her intently, seeing her body tense up and her eyes darting nervously to him. His heart was beating like a drum in his ear as he waited for her response. But instead of an answer, she dodged his question yet again. "It's getting cold. Let's head back." Kevin shook his head in defeat, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips.She always does this. Getting up from the sand, the two head back inside. The moment Emma stepped into the room, she paused, shock evident on her face. Glass shards lay scattered across the floor, the bed was disheveled, and his bottle sat in the center, empty. "I'll call them," Kevin said and took out his phone, but Emma stopped him saying it was too late to disturb them. He beamed, she never failed to amaze him. Kevin watched as Emma quickly arranged the bed, though he wasn't really sure why, he helped her a bit, surprised at how he was doing something that might actually be conside

    The white curtains fluttered gracefully with the breeze, letting in the dazzling sunshine which danced off the blue-green water of the ocean, creating sparkles on the beige walls of the room. It was truly a sight to behold.Kevin stood by the window, his gaze transfixed on the glittering ocean, its azure waves rolling towards the shore and falling back into the sea with a soft hiss while he engaged in a serious business call. "So, what's the schedule?" he inquired, letting the soothing sound of the waves take over him."Her aunt?" His thick eyebrows shot up above his gray eyes as he showed a little annoyance before continuing. “Alright, I'll look into it. No matter the cost, I want that estate," the man continued, his voice unwavering and authoritative. "Get the jet ready. We're leaving for Paris in a couple of hours. Have all the paperwork done by the time I get there," With a decisive nod, he hung up the phone and allowed his gaze to linger on the girl, who still lay peacefully bene

    The car stopped in front of the small house. Emma unfastened her seatbelt and looked at Kevin.“I’m waiting here,” He said and answered his incoming call.She frowned. Why? When he could just send the driver. Also, he shouldn't be driving with his injured hand. Emma, however, didn't say anything and chose to leave as he was on a call but before she could get out of the car she heard him say, Amanda. She looked back at him, eyes widened in fear.Kevin was clenching his jaws as John updated him on the individual responsible for disclosing his personal information. Emma's face went pale and he saw that. She anticipated Kevin's wrath and that he would most likely punish the old woman. Emma turned to him, wanting to speak up, but Kevin spoke first. "I won't hurt her if you behave and don't hide anything from me." He didn't like how she had lied to him. Kevin felt his heart swell with rage. He truly despised others meddling in his matters but his patience was tested further when he saw

    All he wanted was a yes or no, so why couldn't she articulate her thoughts? Or maybe there was something between them. Something that made it hard for her to hate him. Emma didn't know. For the past few days, she had rather been unsure. Her mind was a mess and so was her heart. Both were at war with each other and it was frustrating.Memories of the time when he had hurt her, made her feel weak and the times he had forced himself on her came flooding back. But amidst those memories, she couldn't ignore the moments when he had stood by her side. Through thick and thin, he had been there for her, even when he didn't have to.And above all, it was because of him that she was able to save her brother. Moreover, a strong emotion like hatred had no place in her tender heart."N-no," she let out, defeatedly. Her eyes soon met his silver pools that were like a stormy sea, filled with depths of mystery and emotions. He stood quiet, seemingly frozen but his heart was beating fast, and then

    "Do you hate me?" Emma's heart jolted, and she felt a sudden tightness in her chest. The question pierced through like a knife, tearing open wounds that she had attempted to bury deep within her. Her gaze fixed blankly on him, the anguish, fury, and anxiety mingling in her eyes as she remembered all those countless nights she cried herself to sleep with the marks of ownership he left on her body and soul.He was right. She's like the moon, a stunning sight to behold, yet marked by scars. Big ugly scars that ran deep within. Serving as a constant reminder of the battles she's fought and the pain she's endured. Nonetheless, her beauty lies in her strength to carry on despite them.Silence hung between them, suffocating and unbroken. Her eyes flickered nervously while her breaths became shallow and jagged. Although she knew that the answer to his question was a "yes," a blunt brutal 'yes I do' yet she found herself incapable of uttering those words out loud. Was it out of fear or so

    "What does it remind you of?" she asked with genuine curiosity, studying him closely now. Emma had always viewed him as a man of dominance, not someone who'd appreciate the beauty of the moon or flowers. She wondered what caused this sudden change in him. Kevin paused, teeth gently sunk into his bottom lip as he gazed at her with an intensity that could only be described as sheer passion. "You."Emma felt her pulse quicken as she heard his words. Her eyes met his again, breaths sharp and mouth shut, unsure how to respond so she waited for him to continue."So beautiful yet so distant, just like you," His words lingered in the air, hinting at a deeper meaning that she couldn't quite grasp. Distant? Was he talking of physical distance or something deeper? Emma was shocked by the irony of his statement. What about the nights they spent in each other's arms? Countless nights she slept while he was inside her, their bodies intertwined as if one. Each morning, her body would bear marks o

    "I want everything perfect," Kevin growled into his phone, the warning in his tone unmistakable. "I will not tolerate any mistakes, John," he continued, voice deep and threatening. John, on the other end of the line, knew that Kevin's threat was far from idle. "Don't worry sir. It'll be just like you said,'' John assured him. He had worked for Kevin long enough to know he wouldn't accept anything but the best. Especially when it's about her. He had seen Kevin's meticulous attention to everything, every fucking detail when it came to her. From making sure she was well fed and taken care of, to going above and beyond for her loved ones. Kevin was always vigilant. His forethought in sending guards and maids to Mina's home likely saved her and her unborn child from a potential disaster yesterday. The guards quickly rushed Mina to the hospital when her husband had yet again gone out for the night. Fortunately, the doctors saved her before any serious damage could have been done to her

    The men dressed in the finest of attire were seated at the far end of the sumptuous hall, seamlessly discussing their ambitious business ventures and bold investment strategies. One could sense the confidence in the air as they contemplated each possibility, determined to make their mark on the world. The matter seemed important. But despite being in the midst of such a crucial conversation, Kevin's thoughts were elsewhere, preoccupied with her. His mind was filled with nothing but her.Her rejection had enraged him beyond what he had ever felt before yet he restrained himself from letting it out on her and left her alone last night. However the mounting frustration kept gnawing at him from last night until now, and it wasn't only him that it impacted. Those around him had to put up with his simmering rage too.His mind had been in turmoil since the previous night. Why doesn't she want him? He's everything one could dream of—he was rich, handsome, and had power and stature. He had

    After a night spent in a haze of anxiety and fear, the next morning dawned with a beaming sky and a soft breeze wafting in through her opened balcony window. Emma sat up in tangled sheets, her head in her hands, and fingers entwined in her hair. Her night had been a relentless cycle of dread and chaos, and though the morning sun was offering a sense of solace, she still couldn't quite shake the feeling of unease that had been plaguing her. His words continued to repeat in her head. He had promised to set her free, so why did he say he wouldn't let her go? Why would he even want to keep her when he’d already got what he wanted? No matter how hard Emma tried, she just couldn't make sense of it. Why was he so confusing?Huffing with desperation, she stared at the side of the bed that appeared devoid of life. The sheets normally crumpled when he was in the bed were perfectly smooth as if untouched. The drenched towel that he wrapped around her shivering body lay carelessly on the couch,

    It was exactly like those she shared with her husband. Yet, something was different. Kevin's kisses were more ardent, more commanding—as if possessing her body and soul.Cheeks flushed with a deep shade of red now, Emma tore her gaze away from the couple and glanced at the man sitting across her but found him already looking at her. However, the moment their eyes met, he looked away with a subtle smile leaving her heart pounding.Was he staring at her? Uncertain Emma gazed out the window again and watched the children, who had previously been playing happily, walking back to their homeless mother. Their mother was clearly in a desperate state, her tattered clothes barely offering warmth, and her sad smile suggested that she had nothing to feed her children. Emma's eyes dulled seeing the family in such a state. Life can be really hard to bear at times. Emma wanted to do something to alleviate their suffering, but she clenched her jaws realizing she hadn't brought her bag. A thought o

    "Is this a formal dinner?" Emma asked, looking at the magnificent building that stood before her oozing opulence. "No," Kevin looked at her, and suddenly the seemingly enormous space felt intimate as their eyes met. "Just the two of us," He whispered and slid his warm hand down the small of her back. Emma's breath hitched as Kevin's touch ignited something strange within her. His touch felt different. More passionate, yet warm. Possessive but gentle. As they walked inside, her eyes took in the luxurious surroundings. Crystal chandeliers glowed from above, intricate carpets adorned the floor, and opulent furniture filled every corner. The high-end hotel was draped in a soft, dim light, illuminating a table for two next to a huge glass window. The dinner table was spread with a white cloth and the cutlery was a silver alloy. Two wine glasses were placed in the middle of the table right next to the candle.And as he said, there wasn't another soul in sight. It's just the two of them.

    “This need is consuming me," he breathed out on her lips. "I want you, Emmeline," Kevin confessed, his breaths coming in heavy, controlled gasps. Before she could even reply, faint whispers drifted through the air and soon voices of women chatting filled the trial room. Embarrassment filled Emma as her eyes darted around, aware that at any moment someone could walk in. Surprisingly, she wasn't scared by the thought of sex today, as her body had grown used to his touch and she was fully aware that he wanted her for pleasure only. But this wasn't the right place for what he had in mind."We can't. There are people," she begged, trying to convince him not to go any further, but his eagerness seemed to be too much for her to handle. She was shaking in his arms and was seemingly unwilling but all he could care about was his throbbing need. "Don't fret," he purred as he kissed her swells again. "We've married in front of the whole world," Emma was surprised by his boldness, and although
