Emily's POV
"What did you think? You'll escape so easily after messing with me again?" Hatred is visible in his ruthless voice as he adds another finger.
His other hands come to wrap my jaw in a tight grip.
"Not anymore, little dove. You have messed up with me enough and escaped easily. Not anymore"
I know what I have gotten myself into. He's not the same person I loved once. Not anymore. He has turned completely the opposite, filled with hatred and anger, each word from his mouth reveals his burning hatred for me.
He pulls out of me, leaving me breathless.
I'm not done yet. It's so painful, so frustrating.
"Kane", I suck my breath. "Please, don't leave me like this. Please finish me off. I want you"
As I struggle to suppress the urge, my eyes find the way to his evil smile as if he's enjoying me begging him.
"You want me? You don't, little dove", he grins. "Tell me honestly what you want me to do with you"
"Fuck me. Please fuck me", I groan like a wounded creature, wanting his manhood to rip me into two.
I crave him so damn much.
He's watching me plead, kneeling in between my legs.
We had sex countless times but it used to be gentle, filled with love and affection. He used to make me feel special every time he made love to me.
It's completely something different.
"Relax!" He whispers, devilishly smiling at my exhausted body. "I'm not leaving you without fucking the hell out of you either"
Groaning, he pulls down my skirt, throws it aside, and rips off my underwear, vigorously parting my legs.
His warm mouth lands on my inner thighs as he sucks me slowly, delivering shivers down to my spine. I go out of breath, my legs trembling with the building ache down there. My loins are vibrating in soreness as I push my hips closer to his mouth.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I'm not supposed to do that. I can't do this.
Another attempt to control my burning desires fails as I look up at him.
He removes his coat and shirt, throwing them aside and giving me a full view of his hard muscular body and leaning closer. I greedily swallow the view of his alluring torso, nibbling my bottom lips.
Emily, No. I scream to myself.
But I think it's too late to have a second thought when he unbuckles his belt, letting his rock hard member out.
"Spread your pretty legs, little dove"
Her seductive tone heats my body as I shamelessly part my legs for him. The exact smirk crosses his face again which is sexy and scary at the same time. His dark eyes are enough to make me go on my knees right now.
"Too quick? Missed me fucking you, huh!" He grins, taking my mouth again in a hard passionate kiss. I respond right away and moan into his mouth, sensing a sharp pain down there.
He shoves his length inside me without any mercy. I hiss out of both pain and pleasure.
"Tell me you missed it. You missed me fucking you, making you come. You missed me showing you how good I can make you feel"
"I missed— it", I whine, sensing him pacing as I arch my back.
"Fuck! I can't believe you're still so tight. Didn't your man fuck you well all these years?"
I ignored it. Indeed, I'm so tight that pain hits my body roughly.
"Look at you. That's how I can make you feel. Only I can do that, right?"
He's not wrong either. Only he can make me feel that way, be it gentle— filled with love or be it harsh— filled with hatred. I can never get over him, no matter how many years pass.
"Speak up, dammit. You know I don't want it to be a silent session. Or have you forgotten what I like?" He seals my lips again before I can speak and part me. "Tell me who can make you feel this way?"
"You", I breathe heavily. "Only you"
He pounds harder and deeper, leaving me all in sweat.
"Ahhh! It's— oh God", I cry out and huff, handling my exhausted body. My throat dries up while screaming his name and moaning for him.
His palm wraps around my throat and his palm sensually traces my bottom lip.
"I'm gonna fuck you so hard that you'll forget everyone except for me", he grunts, slamming my hands over my head and locking them with his wide palm.
"Open your eyes", he commands. "I want you to see the hatred in my eyes for you when I'm fucking you like this"
I don't have enough strength to do that but I still manage to push my damp eyelids, glancing at the vicious face.
Indeed, I can see the immense hatred.
"Kane!" I yelp, moaning his name, and open my eyes wider, tears streaming down my cheeks.
My legs shiver with immense ecstasy building inside my fragile body.
As he rocks me harder and deeper, hitting my exact spots, I dare to meet his cold eyes.
Our eyes meet intensely.
"You are still so fucking addictive, Em. I can't get enough of that sweet damp hole. Fuck!" He groans, thrusting harder than before, not letting my body handle enough. "One single night isn't to quench my thirst of years"
Gripping my jaw, he kisses me hungrily again during the deep orgasm.
Pleasure hits my burning soul, filling me with his substance as he comes, vigorously pounding the last time.
My head feels heavy with my sore body vibrating into his arms.
"You better not escape me this time, Em", before my eyes close shut, I hear him whispering next to my ear. "Don't even dare to"
*
No!
I can hear my inner scream ringing inside my head as I wake up the next dawn, lying naked under the sheets beside Kane.
What a blunder!
My head goes blank as I grab it tightly, cursing my fate. How can I do this? How can I act literally like a slut to let my ex-boyfriend screw me?
Height of grossness, Emily!
I look over at him. Thankfully, his back is facing me. I won't want to look at his face after this. In fact, never.
It was merely a desire— a thirst of years that we both had. That's it.
I strive to console myself and slowly come out of the sheets, then begin to look for my clothes. They are scattered all around. I hope he hasn't ripped my clothes.
He used to do that every time we made love but back in that time it used to be our place, not a damn wedding venue. I don't even know if someone saw us— especially anyone from Mr Smith's office.
I don't want him to know that I was screwed up by his business partner. Olivia will be offended too and I'll lose the opportunity.
My one stupidity ruined it all.
Thankfully, he just tore my lowers and I can manage to get back home.
I dress up immediately when the sun starts to rise, filling the room with rays. My stomach is aching so badly. Undoubtedly, he had been a complete beast last night. I never felt this amount of soreness before. However, the soreness gave me some pleasure after years. A guilty pleasure.
I have to rush before anyone gets up and locates me. Twisting the knob, I freeze.
"You better not escape me this time, Em. Don't dare to"
His sharp words from last night make me shiver, anxiety filling inside me.
No. He might be spitting out due to the flow. He was the one to push me away. I never escaped. Why would he even want me now?
Letting out a deep sigh, I step outside the cabin and run back to the exit as fast as I can.
Kane's POV
"Sorry, it was a dare"
"Kane, please fuck me"
"I missed it"
My burning gaze darts on the concrete floor as I clench my jaw, locking my knuckles harder. Her raspy moans are still echoing inside my head.
Emily!
Damn you, Emily!
"Sir, would you want a coffee?" The manager of my business partner David asks. "As soon as he got to know you spent the night here, he sent me to ask you if you need something"
I shake my head.
"Then, lemonade!"
I shake my head again, gritting my teeth inside.
My head is burning in anticipation as if it's going to explode right away.
A dare!
She had the nerves to walk up to me and mess with me again just for a dare.
Undoubtedly, things never mattered to her. Everything was a fucking game. And she's still the same.
The audacity she had after fucking with me that she left even when I warned her not to.
"Then what should I get you, Sir?" He asks.
My gaze finally lifts at him. He gets nervous abruptly. I stuff my hand into my pocket and take my phone out, scrolling the gallery and placing it in front of him.
"This woman", I shrug.
Yeah, I still have her photograph, not because I'm still in love with that woman, but because I want to remind myself every day how much I hate her. And I'll keep hating her till my last breath.
The manager gawks at the picture, hesitating. As far as I can remember, her face hasn't changed much. The manager should recognise the picture.
"Her?"
"Yes, her. Don't tell me that you don't know her. Mr David Smith had invited only close relatives and business partners and no one can break into the hall without an invitation"
He gulps down worriedly.
I grab my coat from the ground and dangle it around my neck, stepping closer to him.
"You have only one hour to tell me everything about Emily Benson. Every fucking thing", seething, I walk out of the room.
——————————
As he walks through the lobby, the employees of David greet him, but his sanity is already owned by that familiar woman he never wanted to face again.
Kane Gabriel, a thirty years old businessman inherited a piece of his late master Adam Scott— that single share that is worth billions. He didn't exactly inherit it but achieved it by being loyal for years and capable of it. After Adam's death, he served Adam's adopted son for years and finally moved to Austin a year later after his severe heartbreak. Now, he's one of the emerging businessmen of Austin, handling a new branch over here.
The tall young man with excessive good features caught the eyes of many but he used to be scared of commitments until the bubbly—vibrant woman Emily Benson crossed his path. He gave it a chance and fell deeply in love with her.
A man with a heart of gold and a warm smile always on his face doesn't seem to be the same as before.
Now, he's cold and ruthless with a heart of rock that stopped beating four years ago.
Emily's POV
"Where have you been, Emily? You weren't supposed to stay there at night. Were you?" Suzanne throws a bunch of questions right after getting into my cabin.
I organise my table, clear my throat and turn around to her with a casual smile. Her eyebrows draw together at me.
"I had been calling you", she sighs. "At least, inform before disappearing"
How should I say that I wasn't even in the state of informing anything? Everything seems to be a dream right now which occurred in the blink of my eyes.
"Was anything urgent?" I ask.
"Yeah. You were about to meet the trainers for starting our next batch. They were here to meet you"
Damn! I hit my head. It literally slipped out of my head.
"Oh, shit", I hiss. "What were they saying?"
"Nothing much. They said you can fix a meeting later. Just met our girls", she says with a smile.
"Did the girls like the trainers?"
"Yeah. They did"
I'm glad about the new batch of martial arts this year. We couldn't afford to have batches for the last two years but finally, it's getting better this year. Our agency works for all the sectors that our young or teen girls may need— such girls are mostly from families with low income. We have programs like martial arts, mental health services, consulting, guidance and a voice against violence.
When I landed in Austin four years back, I was clueless about what to do. A small job in a coffee shop with my higher degree. Then one day, I saw a girl crying near the streets. A conversation with that mentally abused girl changed the entire perspective of my life and I dived into this mission of finding peace.
My service gives me peace. I love to encourage people, provide them with good and make them stronger to fight against their inner demons.
I met Suzzane the same year in the coffee shop. We became friends and it's continuing.
Texas city has a few of my close people whom I left years back and I don't wanna face any of them ever. Just when the thought of that vibrant city crosses my mind, the flashes of last night drop on my sanity.
I go restless abruptly and come back to reality.
"Well, then please fix my meeting with them today. We'll start the sessions soon. Mr Smith is ready to fund us so—"
Suzanne's phone rings just then.
"Wait, it's Aunty Nina" She picks it up. "Yes, Auntie"
A few seconds later, the colours of Suzzane's face drain away. Her smile vanishes as her devastated eyes come to me.
"What happened? Is everything alright?" I ask in concern.
"Emily!" She exclaims, still holding the phone. "Mr Smith refused to fund us. In fact, he wants the amount back which he gave us last month"
Emily's POVSuzzane has been trying to reach Mr Smith since the moment we got to know about his sudden decision. I'm still in a shock— too stunned to get my brain to work. Why will Mr Smith do that with me at the final moment? Is Olivia behind this?I remember after disappearing for the dare, I didn't show up. Kane didn't let me. Did she think I ditched her and left the venue?Lord! She can't do this just because of a dare. "Emily, are you alright?"I hear Suzzane, laying my head on my desk, my eyes closed. Nodding slowly, I let out a deep sigh and get on my feet. "Are you going somewhere?" She asks."I'm around. Keep trying to reach Mr Smith" I walk out of my small cabin, striding through the corridor. With the cold breeze hitting my skin, I look around at my tiny sector, surrounded by greens, and birds chirping through the nes
Kane She has changed so much— so freaking much that I had to function my brain when I landed here and scanned her from head to toe. This woman aged like fine wine and turned into a drug for me after the last night. I thought I would never be able to get attracted to her anymore. But the hell! She has become even sexier than before. The only difference is I can't find the woman I love anymore. Whenever I look at her, only two things cram inside my chest. Hatred and lust. As she keeps gaping at me in disbelief with her ebony black eyes flaring up in shock, I trace my thumb seductively across her jaw. The nervousness and terror in her eyes and the building tension in her body make her look even more appealing. "It's— that's not possible," she sucks in her breath, struggling to get freed from my grip as I clasp her delicate arms more tightly. "Why so?" "You won't under
EmilyWhen the sun rays enter my room through the window, my eyes are opened wide. I couldn't sleep the entire night, sensing that Kane had been in the living room. I'm so glad that he didn't bang into my room. I literally don't believe him on that. Climbing down from the bed, I slid my feet into the slippers and walk towards the door nervously. It's still the dawn and I believe he's fast asleep. Twisting the knob, I come out of the room, discovering him fast asleep on the couch. The couch is too small to take him all in. His leg is almost on the ground. For a second, I feel bad for not letting him in. It's too cold at night and the living room doesn't even have a furnace. However, I was scared that he would end up taking my leg over again.My legs automatically move towards him with my eyes darting toward his face. Despite trying not to drift my attention to him, I can't help staring at him with my hollow eyes
Kane's POVHer body stiffens with my abrupt question, her gaze darting down. I can see the lines of stress forming on her face as she clutches the clothes tightly in her hands. Stepping inside, I kick back the door, slamming it shut and stride closer to her, leaning toward the closet."Did he leave you?" I shrug, my eyes capturing every small change in her reaction. Her jaw is clenching harder as if she's trying to hold something back. "We got separated," her voice comes out as a groan."And what about the child?""He took him," her voice cracks as she tilts her head aside, slowly wiping her tears off. I keep gazing at her intensely. Why on this damn earth did I fall in love with this woman so much? If I hate her from the core, it's only because she was the one I loved the most. "You didn't try to get your son back?"She remains silent for a whole minute before looking back at me, her eyes simmering. "My past life shouldn't matter to you anymore. I believe there was nothing in the
EmilyWith humiliation, anger boils through my veins. I drop my gaze, swallowing the simmering gossip behind me. I have never thought Kane can stoop so low to do this just to hurt me. He gave me the pen drive with all my paperwork. There's no way such pictures can be in this. When I lift my gaze, I find his eyes on me— steady and intense."Oh! I think there has been some malfunctioning with the projector," Mr Smith speaks out of nowhere. "The wedding pictures got messed up. I'm sorry, gentlemen"He bows and smiles in front of the clients as the lights turn on. Mr Smith is definitely trying to cover up the mess created by us. I can still find the weird gazes sparkling at me. That's so fucking humiliating. "Nova!" Mr Smith calls out. "Until we get the entire presentation fixed, why don't you show us the rough details about the costing""Yeah. Yeah, sure," Nova forces a smile and rushes out of the conference room."Gentlemen, should we check out the rough details of the costs first? My
KaneWho the hell did this to the tire? I kick against it in frustration. There's no way it can get punctured while staying in the same position. That means someone messed up with the last two tires."Isn't there a single-vehicle available?" Nova curls up her face. "No""You have a spare car, right? Where's that?""I asked my driver to drop Miss Benson", I tell her. Nova's reactions stiffen as she pulls on a dirty look."Oh. I should have known that. Anyway, we can cancel the plan then. I'll have dinner with Olivia in the office""No. Wait", I scoff, scratching my head as Nova passes me a wide smile. "We can hire a cab though it's gonna take some time""I can't believe that you really want to go on a dinner date with me""Of course", I smirk. "It's been a long time, right?""Yeah. It's been so long. In fact, it's the first time I can see your interest in having some time with me", she decreases the gap between us. Keeping the smile on, I take a step back. "Let me book a cab"I calle
Kane I'm not supposed to do that. I'm supposed to make her suffer and hurt her as much as I can. But I can't help consuming her painful agony inside me as she whimpers against my arms.I stare at her gorgeous face in the fading moonlight and she looks so innocent and pure as she has always been to me. I used to die for this innocence once and it feels like I have gone back to the same moment. I don't feel like the person I had been for four years. "Kane!" Her moan is more like an urge to feel me as she holds my forearm. Okay, that's it. It's time to just let her ache. I was here to play around anyway. But my grips stay steady and my eyes remain fixed on her, her trembling lips. She squeezes her legs, keeping my hand in between as I feel her hot and wet core inviting me. Why does it feel like a punishment to me? Fuck! It should not. "I won't do that silly act again", her voice comes out more adorable and childish as I recall the clip again. It makes me smile wider and wider. Wh
Author's POVThe atmosphere in Smith International has been heavy since midnight when Nova Brandon got missing. All the major meetings and conferences are put on hold when David has been trying his best to locate Nova. At a moment, Olivia insists on taking the case to the high department of the police commission when Nova finally shows up in the office. Relief gets back to the surroundings, not because all the employees like Nova, but Oliva had forced everyone to worry about her and stopped all the major work.As soon as Nova steps into the office, everyone gets back to work."My goodness, Nova. Where have you been the entire night?" Olivia snaps at Nova, seated in her cabin with her head hanging down."I'm talking to you, Nova. Do you have some sense left? We had been worrying about you the entire night and I don't know where you were messing up with"Nova heaves her head up towards Oliva with her burning gaze."It was all because of you", a groan escapes her mouth, leaving Olivia s
THE END NOTEThe journey of Kane & Emily ends here. You may find the epilogue a bit incomplete because Samuel hasn't accepted Kane wholeheartedly but there was indeed a step toward him. Such kinds of relationships are hard to form. and I hope this loose ending of their relationship doesn't look too negative at all. I tried to make it bitter-sweet as it certainly is in the real world. Let me know how you found the book overall. What you loved, what you hated. This book was a spin-off of my other book MR CEO, MARRY ME ON CONDITIONS. Many of you might not know. Kane and Emily were the side characters in that book. And I hope you could read it as a standalone.I'm plotting another book in this series. you might have guessed until now. Chrisanna and Samuel.I'm not sure when I'm gonna start writing that book. I'm too busy this month. even the next month can be hectic. I'll most likely write Samuel and Chrisanna's book in September. You may follow me on Instg with my pen name already writt
I let out a deep sigh and look down at Emily. She's almost on the verge of crying. And she does. Just when I strive to hold her again, surprisingly, Samuel comes forward and cleans her tears with his small palms. "Don't cry," he gasps in a cold tone, frowning at her. "I'm angry. I don't hate you"Emily smiles in tears and hugs him right away, breaking into tears. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, my baby," she sobs, hugging him tightly as I find Samuel staying calm and rolling his eyes around. Poor boy doesn't even know what the hell is happening in his life. He lifts his eyes and stares at me coldly. Emily breaks the hug and his face. "You're angry with me? I'll remove all your anger soon," she kisses his cheeks and all over his face. But he seems to be too stunned to take it all. "Let's go now. I'm here to take you home," she says."I won't go," he shakes his head. "I wanna go to dad. I want dad"Emily pauses, gawking at him. She says nothing. Tears roll down her cheeks as she low
Emily"The court is adjourned"My attorneys cheer up as the judge exists and Ivanna hugs me from behind. "Congratulations!" She exclaims in joy and I feel nothing for a couple of seconds when Damien is taken by the cops in front of me.As he gazes at me with his hatred and disgust-filled eyes, I glared back at him, hot tears streaming down my cheeks as I recall the dead face of my dad, that cruel hour of my life and years filled with pain and darkness. "Congratulations, Mrs Gabriel," my head attorney, Lana, hugs me. "I hope you feel better"I move my gaze from that view of my ugly past and thank my team for being so patient for so long and finally turn back to the man standing behind me, who has always been there ever since we reunited. Kane is smiling at me. His eyes are moist. I don't think I would ever be able to do it if he wasn't there to hold me each time I fell weak on this journey. We don't share words, we just look into each other's eyes. Five years. It took five years to
Kane The entire night was spent in anxiety. I had been staying in a small guest house, just a kilometre away from that foster home. In the evening, Ethan came and told me that he had handed the wedding dress to Rylie Mae. She looked happy. But she said Emily hadn't talked to anyone after I left. She didn't even come out of her room. I know it was going too fast and I believe she'll know what she wants. I wasn't lying when I told her I would leave everything behind and make her world mine. I'll definitely do it for her. I just wanna see her happy and satisfied. When I met her yesterday, I saw that urge in her eyes. She was so hesitant when she asked me to leave as if she was unable to convince herself. If I had found a bit of resistance in her eyes, I would surely walk away. We're gathered in the small church situated a few yards away from the foster home. And it's already the moment. Ethan comes rushing when we all were waiting outside the church. "Kane!" He huffs. "Coming from t
Kane"Emily is in Atascocita, a small village in Houston. She joined the foster home recently. Two years ago she helped an elderly woman to found a foster home for young girls. She loves to be around them and helps them to find a direction in life"Auntie Rachel's voice echoes in my head as I drive faster in that direction with a bunch of hopes. I look at the sky. It has turned pink, and the sun is slowly moving to the horizon. Everything feels unreal now. I know where she is. But I also know that it's gonna be harder to face her now. How am I gonna ask her to come back to me? Will she ever trust me with everything? Enough of this. It's time to face it, Kane. It's time to fix all the damn damages I did. I rub my eyes and get into the car, keeping the jar safely in the backseat, then I drive faster towards the direction which leads to the exit from this small town. *I reached Atascocita till dawn and waited for the sun to come up so I could enter the village. There's no doubt why
I brace myself before reading it. "As you sow, so you reap. That's what dad used to say. But it has never been the same in my life. I got the worst in return for a single NO. I can't believe I'm a woman of this era where we're still not allowed to say NO to anything. We don't have a right to make decisions and any random person thinks that they can make decisions in our lives as if we're obliged to do whatever they want.I realised this fact in the worst way. I never thought turning down a silly offer would bring a nightmare to my life. Damien Porter is a demon with the skin of a human. That's what I found out the day when I was taken by his men and brought to him in darkness. I still remember that horrible day when I was surrounded by darkness in that empty room. I kept screaming and crying to break the shackles when he came in front of me. I still remember his creepy face when he walked toward me with his horrible smirk. I knew it was not going to end well. But I wasn't the kind
KaneMore than seventy days since Emily left. Seventy days since I have realised there's no way I can survive without her. Seventy days since I realised I love her more than I used to do years back. Seventy days since my life feels meaningless, full of emptiness. And today after those painful seventy days, I'm stepping out to bring her back again. But a part of me still emerged with fear.What if she refuses to come back to me.What if she has fixed her life again and my presence ruins it all for her. I have been selfish all my life, especially when it was about her. I have been greedy for her love, her existence in my life, her tender body in my arms. That greed increases each passing day. I keep battling with my thoughts while driving through a narrow parkway in between green fields, away from the busy city, the only place where I can find her or at least her exact location.Her parents' home. Emily can abandon everything but she can never abandon her mom. And I believe Auntie
KaneEthan said Emily asked him to hire a cab. She didn't tell him where she would exactly go. I believe she'll go back to Austin. After all, she has her dream job there, her family in her agency. But I'm not sure if she's gonna go back to David's company after this mess. If she goes there, I believe she'll know what I confessed at that party. She'll know Monica isn't my wife. I hope it'll give her some relief. Ethan insisted that I should meet her when she was leaving but I didn't go. I didn't think I'd be able to control myself. What if my mind changes and the bastard in me wakes up again and it tries to force her to stay back again. "She has left, Kane," Ethan says as I take a long stroke of smoke from the cigarette. I try to smile painfully, rubbing my eyes repeatedly. "Are you okay?" Ethan grabs my shoulder."I'm relieved," I tell him with a painful smile. "I'm proud of you, Young Master," Ethan says with a big smile of pride.*It's already been a week since Emily left for
EmilyWhen I opened my eyes I didn't expect to be in that place. I roll my eyes nervously around the room. For as long as I can remember I was near the Cascade last night. It was raining heavily. My heart was heavy. I don't remember how long I cried but gradually my brain started functioning. I recall every single thing from last night.I remember how all those disgust-filled eyes landed on me, how my entire existence felt nasty and sinful, and how I have literally spent thirty days with a married man. I cover my face with both hands and breathe heavily. I can't take this anymore. I just can't. Now, it doesn't hurt because the man I love the most is not mine. It hurts because the only thing I had as my own isn't there anymore. My dignity is tainted. And it hurts more than anything. Whatever happened to me throughout my life, I never felt like this before. But today, I have stooped so low in my own eyes. Gathering the sheets tightly against my chest, I close my eyes and strive to pr
