As soon as I agreed that I would personally make Desmond's another tuxedo, Sir Elron told me the conditions I must do."First, we will fetch you at the public park at six in the morning using the provided carriage by Lord Verlice. Second, you are going to work from six in the morning and five in the afternoon. You are going to work seven days a week so you can finish the tuxedo. We will provide your meal allowance or if you want to stay where Lord Verlice is staying, we will provide you accommodation.""I thought he is rushing to have it finished? Shouldn't I take another seamstress with me? I cannot possibly do all the work since I need an assistant to do that."Sir Elron smiled. "There is no need for you to take someone with you. Yours is enough. I shall be your helper and Lord Verlice has people to help you as well." That made me silent from what he said. "So, are we agreeing on the terms now?""I want your master to stay away from me," I added. "I do not want him to keep on harass
Just as Sir Elron said, I waited at the public park for the carriage. I was surprised when I arrived there early and the carriage was also there. Even Sir Elron was also here."Greetings, Sir Elron," I said, curtsying before him."Greetings, Lady Seraphina," he greeted, smiling. He opened the carriage door for me. "The carriage is ready. We must go now."I was hesitant at first because I noticed the carriage I saw right now was the same carriage Desmond and I used whenever we traveled to the palace to attend the meeting. It felt nostalgic when we used to do the deed here.I castigated myself and felt my cheeks flaring up in embarrassment before I decided to mount on the carriage. I secretly pinched myself for daring to remember those moments we had together. It was all over now.It didn't take long before we arrived at the hotel establishment where Desmond was staying. Sir Elron got down first before he offered his hand to me. I gladly accepted it as he helped me to get down from dism
"Is he always out every morning and comes back this afternoon?" I asked while I was sewing the fabrics.It was already my second day working here at Desmond's hotel and I have a helper. It was Sir Elron who was also dependable on helping me to sew. I was surprised that he could also sew as well. I used the pattern parts from the time Niscia and I made Desmond's first tuxedo so it was easy on my side-cut fabrics and I didn't need to retake Desmond's measurement.Though even though it was only my second day, I noticed that Desmond usually went out a lot and would later be back this afternoon."Are you talking about Alpha Desmond?" I nodded as an answer while he was busy pouring some tea into my cup. I thanked him and managed to smell the black tea. "Indeed. He is busy working on something at the nearby town.""I see." I nodded my head, didn't want to ask some further questions as I didn't want to pry about Desmond's life. I just wanted to avoid knowing what life he has right now.We con
Desmond's eyes were blazing in anger as soon as each second had passed by. He didn't bat an eye that he had slapped me."Rejecting me is your best decision?" He sneered. "If that is so, then why did you even accept our mate bond?! You even married me, Seraphina!"I gritted my teeth. "I later found out that you were not the best decision I ever made, Desmond! That was why I left you. I left you because I cannot take you for being an absurd moron! You should not have become my mate!"I was too hurt by that time he knew that I was infertile and did not even dare to tell me. He consulted someone to be a surrogate mother thinking that he was helping me yet he did not realize he should have been truthful from the very start.Then, the things he did by sleeping with other women... I would never forget those memories that slapped me with the reality that Desmond would dare to choose to hurt me over and over.I hissed in pain when he had my hair with his hand, gripping it so tight so he could
"Just drop me here to the plaza," I said meekly when we were in the town where my flat was located."I'd love to escort you to where you are living, seraphim."I froze and glared at him as I could feel my heart pounding so fast. Blood rushed to my face, frightened at his words."No, thank you, Lord Verlice," I said calmly, not wanting him to know that what he said was making me nervous. "I'd rather go there alone," I said coldly.Desmond stretched out a smirk. If I was still living with him and didn't reject our mate bond, I could have sworn that I would get to be swooned by that kind of smile he was having right now."Now, now. Do not be so cold to me, Seraphina." He leaned forward and took my hand. I felt shivers down my spine when he brought my hand to his lips. "It is not as if we did not share the same bed earlier. Hmm?" he said, teasing."Because you forced me to!" I said through gritted teeth and took back my hand."Oh?" He had an amusement smile smeared on his lips. He took my
"By the next two weeks, I would be able to finish your tuxedo," I said to Desmond when we were having a morning meal on the balcony. Again.Actually, he threatened me again to eat with him for one week straight which was why I have no choice but to obey or he would inform Madam Ibanez of my disobedience."We will be leaving. You are going to come with me today," he said, ignoring my statement earlier as he wiped his mouth."What?" I looked at him, creasing my forehead as I finished my meal. "But I need to finish..."He butts in. "Why every word I say you keep on questioning them, Seraphina?" he said. His tone smeared with a coldness that sent shivers down my spine.He was trying to intimidate me. But I knew better how to fight him back, I guess."Because what you are saying is always filled with absurdness," I reasoned. "I am working as a seamstress for my employer and you are trying to ruin my schedule..."Desmond squinted his eyes. His hand on the table clenched. The veins on his ar
I didn't know how long we were traveling but I only realized we had arrived at the destination if it only weren't for the carriage stopping at an establishment.Desmond was the one who got out before he turned at me and opened his palm. Glaring at his hand, I was hesitant to accept it.My attention was not on him when I looked up to see the establishment in front of me. I blinked and managed to misstep on the stairs. I almost shrieked from tripping but then Desmond was quick enough to catch me in his arms."Careful." I held onto his shoulders, almost panicking. I could even feel my heart pounding so fast because I was not quick enough to analyze the situation.Instead, I was inside my ex-husband's arms. Our bodies were pressed against each other as we looked into each other's eyes. Our lips were a few inches from touching each other.At that moment, something awakened inside me that made my blood run cold. The whisper had me petrified...'Mate.'Desmond and I gasped in unison as our e
My knees wobbled at his husky whisper. His lips were teasingly caressing my earlobe. I closed my eyes and softly gasped when his hand reached for my cunt.I jumped to my feet and held onto his blazer when his fingers were playing with my clit causing me to spread my legs and offered myself to him."I haven't gotten started yet, you are all wet for me, seraphim..."I opened my eyes and met his lustful gaze. My breath became heavy as his finger kept brushing my clit up and down."Oh, god..." I leaned back to the wall as my eyes got droopy from the pleasure. I saw Desmond watching me with amusement in his eyes as he knew that my body would easily respond to his touch.The worst thing was... our mate bond suddenly reconnected. Because of it, I was getting deeply aroused each second Desmond was pleasuring me."What do you want, seraphim? Tell me..." he said as he lifted up my skirt and exposed me."Desmond..." I gulped when he unbuckled his belt and tied my hands with it. "I... I don't wan
