My mind screamed at his womanizer image. The way his intense gaze traced over me, my skin like a flame. Even though he appeared calm, I could feel the heat radiating from him. He had already trampled my private space. I pushed him back with my hand."Sorry, Mr. Dylan. But I’m not the kind of girl who jumps into bed for a deal. I’m a woman with dignity," I stated firmly.His eyes narrowed as a flicker of disappointment crossed his face."No one has ever dared to touch me, let alone push me." He stared at my palms with a sharp gaze. Even though he appeared scary, I still resisted. Perhaps he thought I was the kind of woman who would throw herself at anyone just because I married Alex. But he was wrong. He stared at me closely, as if he were trying to find something hidden beneath my defiance."Miss Ashley, nothing in this world comes for free. I don’t engage in anything that doesn’t profit me. And considering your company’s current situation..." He continued, sliding the paper across th
As Alan went for the test drive, I excused myself to the restroom. When I stepped out, Vini was already standing in front of me.Her gaze immediately fixed on the sapphire bangle around my wrist. Her eyes widened as if she recognised it."It's Weber's ancient bangle, isn't it? How did Grandpa give it to you?" she demanded. Clenched her teeth.Grandpa had handed it to me right after the party ended, and I decided to wear it today. Who knew I would bump Vini here?"Why? What's your problem?" I asked her, squitting my eyes. "It looks better isn't it." I fixed it and was ready to make my exit. Vini grabbed my hand and tried to yank the bracelet off. "Give it to me. It's mine. You can't have it. I deserve it," she hissed. Her fingers dug into my skin.I pushed her, my head began aching. She troubled me so much already, including my miscarriage. Even though it was an accident, for some reason I didn't want to see her face. "You think you can have a legacy of Weber just by climbing onto me
The day had finally arrived. The deal I had kept on hold for over a year, waiting for the perfect moment, was here and now. I had hoped that one day she would return, and I would use this deal to get her. And everything happened as I expected. I could have stopped the news of her slapping Vini Weber from spreading yesterday, could have steadied the Weber Group’s shares with a single phone call. But I wanted more than a simple “thank you” from her. I wanted her. I'd sacrifice a fortune for her—three billion, thirty billion—it didn’t matter. But she was blind to see how much I needed her, how desperate I was to make her mine. "Did you hear that?" she asked again, her voice slicing through my thoughts. I opened the drawer and pulled out the contract I had prepared weeks ago, the paper cool against my fingers. I pushed it across the desk. Her eyes widened when she read the term contract on the papers. "What is this?" “Read it,” I replied, keeping my tone measured, hiding the
I was clenched in one corner, feeling a little uncomfortable. I huddled myself further into the corner and tried to put as much distance as possible between us. The driver felt more like a robot; he did not blink or shift his gaze for the entire ride, as if Mr. Dylan had given him strict orders about it.Dylan's fragrance was strong, yet undeniably attractive. He wore a white shirt and black trousers, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing muscular arms with greenish veins throbbing. I couldn’t help but stare. No wonder women went crazy about him.Suddenly, I felt hands gripping my waist, and a wave of discomfort washed over me. I shifted slightly."Mr. Dylan, I already told you, I'm not the kind of woman who sleeps around with men," I tried to set my boundaries once again. His expression darkened."What do you think of me, Ashley? Do you think I'm close to you because I want to fuck you?" His words were blunt, hitting me like a punch to the gut. I swallowed hard. I felt embar
Vini's eyes filled with tears and her fist were clenched. She stared at me as if she were going to eat me alive. "What happened, Vini? It was just a painting," I said. Everyone around us snapped photos of it, murmuring among themselves. Alex's sharp eyes looked at me in frustration. As soon as I stepped off the stage, Alex’s family surrounded me. Vini was crying like she'd lost everything. She must be cursing me under her breath. "Why did you do that? Do you really hate me this much?" Vini took out a blade from her purse and placed it on her wrist. "I should kill myself to satisfy you," Vini screamed. The crowd muttered, giving her sympathy. "Miss Ashley is hurting Miss Vini so much. Now Miss Vini is getting into depression." "Yeah! I mean, look how she insulted Miss Vini's painting publicly." I grabbed the blade from her left hand and placed it in her right palm. "If you really want to die, cut the nerves of your left wrist, not the right one," I said. Her face turned pa
I pushed myself against the corner of the car to avoid any contact with Dylan. His face showed clear irritation. He didn’t like my behavior. I had been defensive every time he tried to hold my hand or even touch me."Miss Ashley..." he called out in a sharp tone. His glare was cold and piercing. "I am not invisible, am I?" he asked sarcastically. I knew very well that the man sitting beside me was not just any ordinary person. Even the exhibition owner had bowed to him like he was some kind of emperor. No one would dare insult or ignore him, but I was extremely upset because of that deal."No, Mr. Dylan. I am just a little tired," I said.I glanced at my watch. It was almost eleven. I still had to plan my strategy for tomorrow’s press conference.All of a sudden, a car came out of nowhere and rammed into our car. The impact was so strong that sparks flew from the collision, lighting up the dark road."Ahhh..." I jumped in my seat. Dylan instantly moved closer and wrapped his arms arou
While being in the car, when she pulled her hands away, I shamelessly grabbed her waist. Her playing hard to get only fueled my desire. When I had her on my lap, I wanted her there for the entire journey. But as soon as those hooligans ran off, she slipped back into her seat. The distance between us was unbearable. "I was still stranger to everyone. Isn't too awkward to bring this topic..." Before she could say anything else, the door behind swung open. Alex and Vini walked inside. Ashley immediately pulled away from me as if she was guilty of something. "Mr. Dylan, are you okay? I heard about the accident. I hope everything's fine," Vini asked, her face was full of concern. Alex's eyes were fixed on Ashley. I clenched my jaw. The way he looked at her made me want to rip him apart. "Yeah, I’m fine," I barely aknowledged Vini. My eyes stayed fixed on Alex, silently warning him to back off. But he didn’t. He approached Ashley and placed his hands on her shoulder "Are you alright?" he a
Ashley POV"Stop it, Dylan.." I pushed him away, not because I didn't want his kiss but because I liked it too much. The way his lips claimed mine stirred something deep within me. A spark that I hadn't felt in years and it terrified me. I turned away, guiltily, I had just divorced not a month before, and Dylan's touch sparked in my heart. He stormed into my heart. "Ashley.." Dylan called me, I avoided looking at him. He is about to touch my face. "Don't.." I shook my head. "Don't do this to me.." My body was turned hot, he might have felt it if he tried to touch it. I didn't want him to know that his touch melted me right now. We are just bound by the deal. I shouldn't raise much hope. When I loved Alex deeply, he gave me pain. If I dared to love a person like Dylan, he would shatter my heart into small pieces. I climbed into the car and fixed my gaze out of the window to avoid his piercing stare."We should go back to the mansion, Alan must be worried about us."I said."Okay.
Dylan POV"This is the biggest diamond we have mined to date. It's 1800 carats, a human human-excavated diamond found in the last decade. It's one of the rarest diamonds on the earth as it had the largest stone cut."A merchant showed me the diamond I had been waiting for two days. I held the crystal in my hand. He made me wait too long but after seeing the crystal and holding it in my hand I could say that the time was worth wasting. "So you want to buy this?" Merchant asked me. I could have sent Fred or any other person to buy this but this merchant insisted he wanted to see a buyer. Even he was not ready to deal with any other person except the buyer."Do you think I just left my business, especially my wife and my children for two days for a time pass?"I asked him smirking.He nodded. The deal was done. I bought that diamond. It was our first anniversary tomorrow and I wanted to gift her something that she would remember for her life. This rare diamond resembles her, shiny, str
Ashley POVI was in a huge guilt when the truth came out right before my eyes. I recalled the time when Dylan told me he found the papers, he actually found the divorce papers that Alan sent to him."Why didn't I clarify things that time? Dylan didn't even know about my pregnancy. He never abandoned me or my baby." I was frustrated after knowing the huge mistake that happened. I decided to clarify everything today when Dylan gets back to the home. I was waiting for him at dinner time, It was past nine yet he was not around. The bell rang and I rushed to open it"Sister-in-law," Fred arrived at the door. I was shocked to see him alone. "Where is Dylan? Why is he not with you?" I looked behind him. Fred appeared a little worried."Boss went on a business trip to the United States for some work. He will return in three days." Fred informed me. I was stunned, Dylan didn't inform me about any such business trip. I tried to call him, but Fred interrupted me."He is in flight, Your phon
Ashley POVI initially denied it, but then I realised that Dylan needed me right now. He wanted me in his arms, he wanted to be all over me. I kissed him passionately, holding his face in my hands. The night appeared longer than it was. Dylan continued working from the office a few days later. We were living in a penthouse for a while as Maroc mansion was going into a huge transformation. The blast that occurred that day had already shaken the entire mansion, plus Dylan wanted to increase the security for children. I prepared mashed potatoes for Damien. He just started getting tiny little teeth and he was able to eat some mashed vegetables. There was a knock on the door, it was mid-afternoon and Dylan had no chance to come back. I opened the door and found a security guard was there."Mrs. Marcov, a man named Alan Weber is here. He wanted to see you now, but he had not taken any appointments." Guard said, as soon as I heard the name, a broad smile appeared on my lips. When I ca
Angela POVI watched my daughter leave in the police van. I fell on my knees and burst into tears. "Lilia... My daughter. Lilia.." I cried miserably. Jonathan came and held my hand."Why are you crying now? It was you who handed Lilia to the police. I told you not to do that, why did you do this then?" Jonathan asked me worriedly. When the fire broke out in the event, Dylan saved his family. I was restless. Lilia confessed that she was behind this disaster and she wanted to kill Ashley and her children, that's the reason she took this step. But she was too naive to understand this world. "If I had not sent her to the police, Dylan would have killed her. It's too dangerous if she is out. She is safe in prison."I said with terrifying words. I recalled how he bailed out the culprit of the fire in the factory and even paid a huge amount as a Fine just to make him disappear. That person appeared dead after a few months. "I didn't want Dylan to disappear my daughter from this world. S
Ashley POVI found the biggest nightmare of my life getting true right before my eyes. Fred and other bodyguards saved Dylan. He was taken to the hospital immediately. Damien had no burn but Dylan's arm caught fire. We were standing outside the hospital and waiting for the doctor to come out."Patient had minor burns at his elbow and the side of his arm. It's superficial, yet I would suggest taking care of it. So it won't cause any infection." Doctor said,I walked inside, Dylan was lying on the bed. He sat up and smiled when I went in. I couldn't stop my tears when I saw him. I hugged him tightly. I didn't know if it was because of my overwhelmed hormones or the fear of losing him, but I began crying loudly. "Hey, why are you crying? It's not like it's a big injury. I still have a working hand attached to my shoulder." Dylan said as he wiped my tears. "I was scared.." I said. When that big burning pillow was about to fall over him, for a moment, I thought I lost everything. "Don
Dylan POV"Chairman, we are looking into the company's matter. The growth of this year increased 13 percent and it's double the last year." Mr. Bob, our shareholder said while holding the reports. I nodded."My goal is not only to take the Markov group to the topmost company, but also create an environment where it's difficult for other companies to compete with us." I said. The meeting was going on. It was our annual meeting. And the quarterly meeting after I became a chairman. Fred approached me and whispered in my ears."Sister-in-law is sitting in the waiting room." My brows arched, Ashley came to the office. But why? "Alright, provide me with the set of economic reports by tomorrow. We will finish the meeting here." I said and I rushed out of the meeting room.When I came to the waiting room, I found Ashley sitting on the couch while holding Damien in her hand. She looked a little stressed."Ashley, what happened? You should have waited in my cabin. What are you doing in the
Alex POV"Shall I pour a drink for you too?" Vini asked me as she rubbed my chest. I stared at her with cold eyes."What do you want?" I asked her. She slowly sat between my legs and pulled my zip down. Her hands slowly took out my dick as she started licking it."Do you think I am doing this because I want something from you?" She said I closed my eyes because she already took my erection into her mouth. "Ummm... Umm..." I held her head and pushed it towards my dick. This was the reason I didn't let go of her till now. Vini was fulfilling my physical needs. She was good at throwing herself at me when all the other girls were running away because of my legs. She gave me a blowjob and stood between my legs. She pulled her skirt up and sat on my dick. "Ahhh..." She moaned, making faces. Her face grimaced with pain as she looked at my face. I gripped her chin aggressively. "Bitch, you have taken the dick from half of the population of the city. Yet you are acting like you are a virg
"Are you insane? You are pregnant with my baby. How can you say you don't want it?" Dylan said. I could sense he was so happy. I was pregnant with my second baby and that was no less than any disaster for me. Damien is still two months older, and Dylan is leaving already. How can I handle everything at the same time? There is no point in him staying with me. I could not think of keeping this baby now. "I have to abort it. I have no other option." I said. "It's too early to have a second baby. Damien is still small, so I needed to focus on him." I said. I felt bad that I was thinking about aborting this baby. "So what? Do you think about killing it?""It's barely four weeks, the baby must be the same size," I said. He was making me feel guilty for what I said just now. "Really? Don't forget that the child in my arms was once a seed too. The baby in your tummy would be as big as Damien one day." Dylan said. My heart became heavier. "How can I manage everything? You have no idea h
Ashley POV“Why are you not saying anything? You don’t love when I fucked that pussy of yours?” Dylan used extremely blunt words. I quickly covered his mouth and stared at the crib.“How can you talk this way? Now we both are not alone anymore. We have a baby, what if he listens to all this?” I asked him. He took my hands away from his mouth. “He is sleeping now. Just tell me if I can do it or not?” He asked again. I nodded. We were having it for the first time after childbirth. I was nervous because I still remember the pain of labour.“Dylan.. Please be gentle.” I requested, and he nodded. “I will, but I am hungry now. You promised me that you will feed me.” Dylan said as he desperately took my clothes off. His eyes watched me hungrily. “You know I had nothing in conference and even on the plane. Because I wanted to eat you first.” He said as he sucked milk from my nipples. He slowly turned towards my clit, and sucked them too. We had a passionate night. We almost did it until
