"Divorce papers. I already have the approval from the elders."
"You!""What about it, husband? Just sign it and this farce will end. As you can see, I won't get anything else from your wealth, only what you promised in the beginning. The contract is there too."There was nothing in her voice and eyes but coldness and indifference. She had let go of her fear, even to the fury brewing in his eyes. She was already used to it. After all, from the beginning of their marriage, one year ago, he never cared to hide how much she despised her.However, she tried to make it work, even for a little. She wanted to become friends with him, or at least treat each other with some respect and decency. It never worked. Now she was tired.He kept looking at the document on the desk. Then he raised his head with a cold smirk written on his mouth. "So, this was your plan from the beginning. Scam money from me and my family and then disappear."She fought her urge to roll her eyes at the handsome man. Grandpa Hesse was the one who insisted on them marrying, and she didn't have a choice. How did it come to her being the one forcing him?She sighed and took out her hood and her shades, making her beautiful black hair cascade on her back, and revealing her gorgeous face. Her blue eyes looked at him without much emotion."I don't want to keep going with this farce. Please, sign it and let us end and forget this awful experience.""… ha… do you think it will be this easy.""I don't understand, what else do you want? I am not taking anything else from you. Only what you promised."Thea was getting impatient. She had made many plans for later, and this man was making things more complicated."Alright, what do you want in exchange for signing those papers?" She conceded, her voice was cold but at the same time tired. However, that little sign of eagerness only made his fury grow even more."Are you that desperate?" he couldn't contain another mocking sound that almost revealed the intensity of his anger.Thea didn't say anything, but her silence was making evident her answer. She wanted to get out of that office as soon as possible. Her arms were crossed, and his feet were tapping the floor."What do you want?" she retorted with an anxious voice."… you have nothing I desire. You are disgusting," the hatred in his cold eyes was more than apparent.Thea gripped her hands into a fist, but she remained silent and calm, nor even a frown could be seen on her beautiful face. She would not give him the opportunity to humiliate her again, but now it was true that she needed his signature.He took a pen from his desk and signed the papers quickly."Are you satisfied?"Then he threw them to the floor. "Take them and leave now! Don't let me see your face again or else… you will know the consequences."Thea bent down to get the papers as fast as she could and pack them inside her bag. She didn't want to be there anymore. It was only a waste of time. That man had already exhausted a year of her precious life, it was enough.When she stood up, she didn't glance at the man for a second time. Her thoughts were on going out quickly, without looking back.However, the moment her hand was about to open the door, a pair of arms blocked her from going out.Her heart pounded, and her breath was difficult. She felt the warmth coming from the back, making her bit her lips."What... what are you doing?"Dion had approached her from behind with a sudden speed. He was trapping her between his body and the door, preventing her from moving an inch.He didn't answer, but he didn't move his body."CEO Hesse, what do you want?! Let me out!"He stood with his hands pressing to the door, and her face touching her hair and the side of her neck. The heated air from his breath was making her anxious and weak. She struggled when some shivers ran down her spine.She tried to open the door again, but he kept pressing her with much more force, almost pasting her to his body."Get away from me!"He didn't answer again, but one of his hands lowered down to her waist, then with a slow move, he lifted her hoodie, letting him see the beginning of her jeans and her beautiful bottom."Hey!" she felt his hands moving inside her hoodie, but she couldn't fight him. That was the first time he touched her. "Wait...""I won't..." he whispered and took the hoodie from her body.Underneath, she was wearing a very tight white top, fitting perfectly to her slim waist and her perfect front. Her naked shoulders and her collarbone were left exposed for his gaze."You!"She regained her senses when the man pressed her to the door more. Her foot stepped on him, and she finally could turn around to fight him. However, her bold movement didn't have the effects she wanted, as he pushed her to the door again and grabbed her arms on top of her head.Her body was a beautiful and sexy sight he fought hard to resist. Her cherry plump lips were so inviting and her deep angry eyes so alluring. He gulped."Didn't you want this?" he whispered when their faces were only an inch apart, "You were so eager to do this every day of our marriage, didn't you? Now, as this will be our last day together, I will concede your wish."He moved his lips to her ear while circling her tiny waist with his strong arms. Her top was so fitted to her body that he couldn't help but gape at the gorgeous curves of her body. Her white collarbone was teasing his eyes, letting him see the beginning of her ample breasts. Her tight jeans were circling perfectly her perky butt, making him swallow and feel the heat growing on his pants.He knew she was beautiful and many times he was about to let his desire take control over him but, in the end, his rationality stopped him."Mmm okay," she whispered making him surprised, "then let's do it," she said again without resisting his advances.His hand slowly went down to her waist to her plump back, he squeezed her. However, her tone was hiding a mockery, as if daring him to continue."Why are you stopping?" she said while moving towards him.Even after saying those words, her voice was devoid of any emotion. He looked at her unfeeling eyes and his mind almost exploded with ire. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit on top of his desk."You…"He took her lips without waiting for another second, taking his time to explore her mouth with his misbehaving tongue. She tried to push him from her, but even when he could taste a few drops of blood, he didn't let her go. His hands were already lifting her top and opening her jeans."Stop it," she pushed him, but he grabbed her hard again, pressing her body against his chest. His lips couldn't control themselves anymore, she was making him forget himself when her moans crossed his ears.'This tastes so damn good,' he felt as if losing his mind. Her soft lips and warm body were something he had imagined many times, so many times, almost every day for a year. Even if it was from afar, every time he saw her, it was torture to his mind and body."Mmmm"Then his mouth left her lips when she was having a hard time breathing. Her beautiful cheeks looked so flustered while her chest was panting and her eyes were trying to regain focus. However, to his eyes, that view was almost crushing his temper.He didn't want to do anything to her, just a bit of a scare to make her know she can't play games with him, but he was the one losing it completely."Thea..." he whispered, then he lifted her top and dropped it to the floor.The view was so amazing that he didn't know why he resisted before. He caressed her skin, reaching for the back of her bra. However, before he could take it any further, the door opened.A young woman in an elegant white dress entered the office without knocking. To her side, an older woman was walking beside her, holding her arm."Dion!"Thea looked at the two women with a smirk on her face. Then she pushed the stunned man to the side and took her clothes to dress quickly. It didn't take many minutes to put on her white top and adjust her hoodie. However, the man wasn't making it easy for her to move around. His hot body was still in front of her. His breath was even moving quickly as if he was suppressing something. The two women looked at her dressing as if nothing had happened. The ire in their eyes were about to burn her skin, but they controlled themselves."You continue," Thea gave them a mocking smile as she passed by their side. Then, after she took her bag from the entrance, she went outside quickly.The man watched her with big eyes, he couldn't understand what just had happened. There was no time in his memory that he lost so much control over his instincts. However, the moment she stood before him with those indifferent and cruel eyes showing that she didn't want him, he forgot his composur
"Where is she?""Master, she is here in the mansion. She is loading her things on her car."It was the voice of Mrs. Lin, the housekeeper of the mansion he had never visited once for the whole year he was married. Even if his grandpa had threatened to hit him and to scold him every day, Dion never took a step into that house. However, that didn't mean that he didn't try before. His heart always followed unconsciously the road towards that mansion when he was tired and distracted. It was the place she lived, the woman that had been in his mind for so many years. She was there, inside the house for the two of them. But she was not meant for him. He knew it... and he hated her for that.He decided to stay in his luxurious apartment near the office, and he considered it his temporary house. "Don't let her move away.""But… Young Master, I can't do that."The middle-aged woman was the only employee in the big mansion. She and Thea were the only ones living there. T
The man took his time entering the room. It was slow, as if he was a predator looking at his little and delicious prey. Then he smirked at her cute but angry eyes and puffed cheeks."Get out," his voice was deep and commanding. It sent a shiver to Thea's back. The bodyguard bowed in a respectful manner and went out. However, before he could close the door, Dion spoke again."Don't let anyone disturb us. No one is allowed to enter.""Yes, sir," the bodyguard went out after closing the door. Then silence. Thea looked at Dion with anger, but somehow, inside her, a strange hope was growing. She gulped. Then she saw his smirk. "What do you want?! Let me out right now!""No," his calm voice followed him as he made his way to the minibar. His movements were slow and careful as he chose a bottle of wine. Red wine. "This will be good for today... our wedding anniversary, don't you think?""What?! Are you crazy? Let me go!""I said no," he smirked while uncapping
He kissed her so much that it was hard to breathe. He had always wanted her, only she, for years, but she never noticed. Not only that, but he had always thought she ignored him on purpose.He moved down to her breasts and lower taking off her panties and digging his mouth inside making her scream in delight. She didn't fight him."No… stop…. Ahh!" He didn't stop as her moans lured him to continue even more. Then he stood up while looking at her mouth panting breathless, her black, soft hair was sprawled on the white couch and some drops of sweat were covering her forehead. He waited for her to calm a bit until their eyes were fixed on each other. There was a question hidden in his eyes, maybe more than a question, but a plea. She nodded and let him continue. It was not only him who felt as if the desire they had accumulated in their hearts was overflowing. There was only an explosion waiting to erupt and set them free. "Dion..." she w
Thea looked at the man that had a shocked face. The voice of Rose woke her up from her little romantic fantasy. 'What was I thinking? This man is not mine. He already has his Rose.'"I can't do this anymore," she looked at him with a pale and sad expression. "This is a mistake, Dion, please let me go.""Why?"He looked at her with pained eyes, the redness of his eyes and the hardened jaw was making an effort to not explode at her.Just a few seconds ago she was eager to be his, she even took her clothes for him and consented to give her all to him. Why is she doing this now? They would have become a couple like any other. They will live together, and they will start over, just a bit more if she was willing to give her heart to him and forget her greediness.However, her expression and words made all those fantasies shatter like little pieces of glass. "Answer me!"She looked at him with a pained expression, "because we don't love each other. I don't lov
"Where is that damn boy?!"The inside of the Hesse Side Mansion was in total chaos. The Old Madam had tried to reach her grandson for a while, but Dion never answered nor let anyone disturb him for the whole night.When she went to his apartment building, she was en denied entry, and her calls were disconnected each time. The worst was when her ex-husband didn't help her at all. He kept negating any knowledge of some divorce between Thea and Dion. However, she knew very well that the elders had given their approval, and she wanted to use this time to make Rose the next Mrs. Hesse."Don't worry, Grandma, I believe he had something important going on. This can wait for a little, after all, he is already…"The young woman by her side was trying to calm her and pose as a gentle lady with her sweet words and kind manners, but the sight of this morning was worrying her, and it was easily shown in her frown. 'What if he is looking for that woman? No&h
Thea woke up feeling tired. The night before was plagued with a heavy headache, and she didn't get to rest well. Her eyes felt swollen and even her throat was not in a good state. She woke up to her body hurting, and her skin burning. She wanted to take a refreshing shower and cool her body down but she was all weak. "I need to get out of here," she whispered. However, she knew it won't be easy. Dion must have posted guards everywhere, even more, she didn't have a way to call for help, or crack the security password of the entrance. Another headache rose to her mind. Still, she mustered all of her energy in her legs to walk to the shower, at least she will wash away the sweat and the feeling of his mouth and tongue. Somehow, she still felt his fingers navigating her skin and she didn't know why, but she didn't hate the feeling. His eyes at that time... they were focused on her and his desire was evident."I should stop thinking of it."For many minutes, she tri
"Dion!"The old woman with blue bright eyes similar to his shouted with a displeased tone."You unfilial brat!""What is your business with me, grandma?""The divorce...""Whose divorce?""Don't try to confuse me, you know what I am talking about. You and that woman had already divorced, the elders had given their approval, and Rose...""I am not divorced.""What?""I didn't get any divorce, grandma," he turned to see the two women that were so shocked that they couldn't say a word, "and I won't."The sound of the elevator interrupted their dazed state, however, before they could do anything, Dion had already left."No," Rose started, "Grandma, he... she must have done something. She must have schemed to make him stay with her. Yesterday, they were..."The old woman knew what Rose was trying to say. That woman must have used shameless ways to have him under control."Don't worry, girl," she narrowed her eyes, "she won't last long. I will make s
The pair of arms that were holding her, the face that was looking at her, and the soft voice that was talking to her, all of that changed in a second. Now she was seeing a pair of blue dazzling eyes. Beautiful blue eyes, the kind that she knew they can sweep her heart away in one second. Then those lips, the kind that reminded him of a man, the one in her memories and dreams, the kind that she had always wanted to taste every day of her life."You..." Thea's dazed stare tried to recall where she had seen the man before her. She knew he was familiar. She knew he was the one she had been waiting for for so long but she didn't remember. "You are... you are the man... in my dream."The strange phrase made Dion look at her with a frown and a bit of a smile. It was as if she was telling him that she has been thinking of him, the same as the many times he had been imaging her next to him every day. "I dreamt... of you the night before... then the night before, and before th
"Dion, my friend!"The VIP room at Ruby club stank of alcohol and snacks mixed with the perfume of the many women that were hanging around the young bachelors. There was loud music, there were cheers and laughter, it was a full party. However, in between the fun were three men with outstanding looks and dressed elegantly in their expensive suits. If anyone would dare to describe them, they will tell that they are like princes. One with a flirty but enchanting appearance, red hair with a charming smile, the other with some intellectual aura, though gentle and elegant. The last one, with a lonely and mysterious personality, though his beautiful face was like an oil painting, flawless. "Hey Dion, you came!" the one with red hair and an enthusiastic aura raised his glass of wine the moment Dion entered the room. The other girls gasped in delight as the man was not the same as a prince, but a King. "What are you doing?"Dion looked around and found that mixed
"Brother Dion..."Dion was inside his main Mansion in the Capital. That was the biggest property of the Hesse family and the owner and CEO of the company was the only one allowed to live inside. However, Dion never stayed there as he didn't like to be surrounded by many people, annoying people. Now, he had been alone in the bar counter of the mansion for a while. His clothes were still the same as the night before, but his pale and wasted countenance showed nothing of his joyful aura from a day before. His grandpa had even asked him to meet him after a few days when he returns from his travel. Most likely it will be to scold him and nag him to death, however, Dion didn't care. His mind was only fixed in one person, a pair of eyes, and the words she said. Rose stared at the man she had always loved and tried to console him but she was not making any progress for a few hours now. The man was still looking at his glass without any intention to turn to see her. Ev
"Marion, why should I wear this?"Thea arrived at her best friend's house with the worst face. Pale, tears, and vacant eyes. Peter was with her and tried to cheer her up but every try was a fail, Thea didn't feel any enthusiasm with his jokes and comments and only wanted to rest. However, the next morning, Marion woke her up, and she had to almost carry Thea's lanky body to shover her to the bath. "Those are my clothes, and you don't have clothes, nor any money or a phone to repay me, you are at my mercy, my dear."Thea was still with nothing, she had asked for another phone and some of her cards but it will take a while to recover them all. However, what broke her was her computer. And even if she had some backups, it would be a hassle to do that and start over again with a new computer. However, it was that or return to that place, and she won't do that. Thea looked down at her, a tight dress, professional and elegant, but short, the kind that can show
From the moment Rose appeared with her group of followers and her mother, Thea had tried to take her hand from Dion's grasp. It was painful to watch how he was letting Rose use his arm as if it was natural. "Please, let go," she whispered as the other women were still talking. However, he didn't move. Somehow he felt happy watching her getting jealous in front of him for the first time, and even if he had to stand the touch of that woman, he will let her for once. Then he heard the words, the ones he had been waiting for the whole night. "I will announce it formally," he said and made his way to the platform. However, Rose didn't let go of his arm even when he gave her a signal to let go. Thea walked with him too, but the pain in her heart was increasing with every step. 'He won't do this, right? With her here... no... please...'Dion moved to the microphone as the two women stood by his side, then every eye from the room stared at him. The dazzlin
The soft breeze from the balcony gave Thea a breath from the painful headache she was feeling. However, for the harm done to her heart, only some wine was her medicine. 'It can't be true,' she thought, 'he wasn't lying to me... he wasn't...'There was a lump in her throat that was making it hard for her to breathe, and she was already tearing. The soft wind from outside was helping her feel cold again, to numb her senses, to numb her heart. Then again, the words, the discussions came to her mind. 'He only likes my body,' she smirked. 'I should have expected it.'"Thea?"A soft and gentle voice came from behind, it was a familiar voice, from a long-time friend. Thea turned around and saw him, a tall man with tanned skin and green shiny eyes. If any were to describe him, he will be a handsome prince that only needed his entourage of women throwing flowers to complete the image. "Peter..." Thea smiled though, the pain was still making her countenance pale and
"Mr. Hesse.""Good evening, Mr. Hesse.""How do you do, Mr. Hesse?"The flood of people shaking hands with Dion didn't stop when they realized that he had entered the venue. However, they were not only looking at the tall regal man beside Thea, but they were inspecting her from head to toe. Though some of those gazes were filled with curiosity, some others didn't disguise their lust inside. "Who might this beautiful girl be?""She is..." Dion wanted to announce it, he was prepared to say the words, however, before any declaration could be made, the arm of another woman surrounded his. "Brother Dion, did you take my cousin to the party, why didn't you tell me?" Rose moved beside him quickly as Dion was about to speak. "Oh... is this your cousin, Miss Rose? It seems that the beauty grows in your family.""Indeed, she is Thea Lark, my cousin, though, we hadn't met for a long time, how do you do, Thea?"Thea looked at her and smiled sweetl
Dion came down first with his perfect and elegant demeanor, the flashes of the cameras were already shooting at him and waiting for the beautiful lady that always followed him. However, something was different this time, he had spent more time in the car and he seemed a bit unkempt. One side of his hair was not arranged properly and from the corner of his face, there was a slight stain... a red stain..."Do you see that?""What?!""That is... is it lipstick?!""Oh my!"The crowd was making noise for the young lady that will follow the man, her beautiful hand and then a slender arm came to the view as her gorgeous pair of feet came to the view. However, the woman that they were expecting was not there, instead, a rare beauty, almost breathtaking took Dion's hand and walked forward. "Who... who is that?""Oh my... she is so beautiful. Is she an actress?""No, I don't think so, with that face, I would have recognized her.""But... who
"Wait... Dion... mmm"The sudden move of the man that claimed to be her husband and the only one with the right to touch her, made her want to punch him in the face. She had spent so many hours being tortured into fitting that dress, or at least six dresses, and a few hours more with the make-up and the hair, but he... that man just took her into his arms and kissed her without shame. Not minding the carefully done hair and her beautiful make-up. He didn't care when she was already gasping and moaning when his hands started touching her legs. Even when the man in the driver seat was already red to the ears and lifting the parting panel. "Dion... Stop it!"Thea pushed the beast of her husband from her, but her flushed face and her lips, already smeared from the savagery of her husband's lips, made Dion try to take her again. She stopped him before he dared to move forward again. "I will not go to that party if you... you don't control yourself."
