もっと見る“If it's not important, I don't expect you to text me. Tell Mia to pick a dress for you if you're so indecisive. If you're still uncertain after asking Mia, you can buy all three dresses. I don't care.”I kept rereading the texts to see if I read it wrong, but each time I realised that I read it correctly.‘This arrogant man’, I thought, fuming. I blamed myself for asking for his input. He was always self-centred, and I should have known better than to text him. I made a mistake to be excited for a moment. But now, I suddenly missed Ryan.“What's wrong, beauty?”, the boutique owner asked with concern when she saw my smile had dropped. I tried to feign a smile. I could not let some words that Alexander said to me get me visibly annoyed.“It's nothing”, I said.“You don't like the dress?”, the boutique owner asked, walking over to me. She was so sweet.“No, no”, I said. “The dresses are beautiful. I am just having a tough time picking the best.”“How about we just say our favourite”,
Olivia's POVI decided to have a look around my soon-to-be husband's mansion, knowing that it would soon be ours.The living room I stood in had shiny crystal chandeliers, marble floors, plush carpets and priceless art works. Everything reflected Alexander's extravagant taste and lifestyle.I was about to climb up the stairs when Mia came down. She smiled at me, but the smile did not reach her eyes. “Hi ma-I mean miss Olivia. Would you like to get your wedding dress now? Mr. Alexander told me it was time to go for your wedding dress.”“Why are you Alexander's personal assistant?”, I blurted. “I mean don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with you. It's just that Alexander is a powerful Mafia boss who doesn't care about women, so I'm curious about knowing why he made you his personal assistant.”She looked down at the floor and started to cry. I felt bad. I didn't mean to sound condescending, I was genuinely curious as to why Alexander had employed Mia to be his personal assistant.
Alexander's POVWhen my dad told me that I would have to get married to the most famous CEO’s daughter, Olivia, I felt like insects were crawling on my skin.“It is high time you settled with a woman of our standard”, my dad stated firmly. “You will be getting married to Olivia Adams, daughter of Mr. Adams, the CEO of Microsoft corp.”Olivia was not my type of person. I had gone to her family dinner on several occasions, and I had gotten to see her. She was calm, she was beautiful, she was ambitious, but she just was not sexy enough. All the women I had ever been with, although they never lasted and were just toys to me, were sexy, hot, and kinky in bed. They let me express myself the way I would like in bed, I could be my truest animalistic self when I was with them. I did not take the act softly. But, before I went into the bedroom with any woman I slept with, I did well to warn them about my preferences, especially to the ones that were not sexual workers but threw themselves at m
My throat was so dry that it was difficult to utter a word.“Uhm—”, I said slowly. He was too close to me, way too close. I could feel some part of his body touch me, the parts of Ryan I would have loved touching me.“You're lucky that I respect your parents, there are the reasons I haven't done a number of things to you”, he said, his eyes never leaving mine.I wondered what he meant by ‘a number of things’, as chills went down my spine.I was about to ask what he meant by doing a number of things to me, but I saw two men in black coats walking into the room from the corner of my eyes.My eyes went back to Alexander who seemed to have noticed that my eyes had wandered, and had also felt the presence of other people in the room.“Is this a new toy?”, one of them asked. He had not seen my face yet. Clearly he did not know who I was. “You have so many Suki, you keep adding to your collections daily.”I began to fume. 'Suki' was the plural form of 'Suka', a Russian term for 'bitch'. A de
My mother’s voice, a chilling echo of impending doom, haunted me throughout the day. "Marry Alexander, or you're disowned. Father's decision, final." A threat? Or a cold, hard truth? Mother wasn't one for empty gestures, and the fear clawed at me. Eighteen days until I became Alexander's wife, eighteen days to save Ryan.Home felt like a refuge, yet the exhaustion was crushing – the weight of work, the weight of this impending marriage. I took a cold shower to try to release some of the stress I felt, then I decided to begin some work on my laptop.Few hours later, a maid’s voice shattered the peace. "Ms. Olivia, a lady, awaits you in the living room.”I walked up to my door, opening it. “What last?”, I inquired.“I do not know her name, but she did come here yesterday”, the maid said.Mia, again? The groan that escaped me was primal. What did she want this time?“Did a man come with her?”, I asked.“No”, the maid replied, shaking her head. “She came alone just like yesterday.
Stress gnawed at me. This marriage… to Alexander? The thought felt like a physical blow. My heart ached for Ryan, the only man who truly understood me, the only man I loved. That night, the stolen moments of texting him felt like heaven. "Ryan, I miss you," I typed, the words spilling out like a desperate confession. Indeed, I was desperate for him. His reply, "I miss you too, my baby girl," was balm to my raw soul.But my longing went deeper. “I want you, Ryan," I wrote, the words barely scratching the surface of my need. I needed him more than words could describe.“I want you so much”, I added. The urgency in my voice, even through the text, was evident.“Baby girl”, he said, looking sad. “I do want you too, but I have a test tomorrow, and I'm studying…”It was apparent that he wanted me too, but the test was in the way…it was always the test. His future, his ambitions, seemed to always come first.I understood that he placed a high level of importance on his career, but I co
My parents threw a party to celebrate my graduation. I was not interested in attending because I knew most of my friends from school would not receive invitations. My dad was hosting the party, and I was pretty sure he would only invite people he considered to be of a higher social class.But as expected, I was forced to get dressed against my will. As I got ready, Ryan video-called. I missed him terribly. Instead of cuddling throughout the night, I was having a breakdown."Hey, Ryan," I said, forcing a smile. I did not want to break the horrible news to him. It would break him, and I knew he did not deserve to be heartbroken."Hey, baby girl. You look so beautiful and sexy. Where are you going tonight?" he asked, his smile radiating warmth. I could feel tears starting to gather in my eyes when I heard his voice."My dad threw a party to celebrate my first-class win," I replied, trying not to burst into tears."Congratulations again, baby girl. You deserve it”, Ryan said, his smile
“There's news that I would like to share with you. You're getting married to Alexander. He is the best person that I have selected for you to marry”, my dad said, as I came down the stairs, his wife beside him as he made his announcement. I froze at the spot when he was done with his announcement. I had rushed out of my room right after dropping my luggages, because I was excited to tell them about school. It had been six months since I came home, because I was always busy with projects, exams and managing a business that I owned. The rush of regrets hit me. I remembered one of the reasons that I stayed away from home, my parents always had something to dictate about my life. Initially, I had wanted to be an actress, to be seen on the big screen, but my parents had rejected my dreams, saying that it was worthless and that they would not let their daughter do such a thing. I was forced into business, and with time I grew to love it. But they did not stop there, they dictated where I w
