WICKED SEDUCTION CHAPTER 15
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Supposedly, I planned to talk with my father about Lee’s position. After everything that transpired between us, I was worried to become so involved with him. When my father refused to let him go, I shifted to plan B. Luckily, he agreed to it, or should I say that he had no choice but to agree to my whims.
“This is so sudden,” Lee complained after he pulled over in front of a medium-sized bungalow house.
From the outside, the house appeared massive. It was constructed with brown bricks, together with white decorative stones. The windows, which were long and rounded, contributed to the overall aesthetic of the house and the fact that they were found in a symmetrical arrangement. The property was outfitted with an ordinary kitchen and one spacious bathroom. It also featured a vast living room, four bedrooms, a modest dining area, and a multimedia room. The building was noticeably shaped like a sphere, and the terrace extended all around the home, encircling it completely. The roof was low and had a slight slope to one side, and it was covered with red roof tiles. A quiet, serene space surrounded the garden in the back of the house with mixed flowers, a pond with a tiny waterfall, and numerous natural rock formations.
“Do you like my place?” I asked him, and he was stunned to discover that I had brought him to one of our properties.
“What are we going to do here, Selena?”
“As of the moment, I am confused about us. I am torn between sending you away or keeping you here with me. So, I bargained with my father to let you live with me…for the meantime.”
“For the meantime? Are you telling me that you will still proceed with the marriage?” Lee asked with a shocked expression.
“Of course,” I replied calmly. “I just realized that I’d rather marry a man that he chose for me than a man who would take advantage of my fortune. Honestly, I am not sure what I am doing right now, Lee.”
“Then what is your plant?”
I shook my head in response because I did not have any idea. Then, I looked into his eyes and asked, “So, how do you like living here as my partner and everything?”
“What are you talking about?” Lee screamed at me, and I cringed in my seat. “Are you going to trap me here?”
“Trap? You are not my prisoner, Lee. If you don’t like my idea, you can go. Anyway, I am just showing you my place because I will be living here in the meantime,” I informed him.
“Just the two of us?”
I narrowed my eyes at Lee because it seemed he wanted to tell me something. “What is it? Do you have something to say?”
“Who will do the cooking and the cleaning?” He finally found the courage to inquire about the household chores.
“You will do it,” I informed him, and his jaw dropped in astonishment. He was funny to look at. His expression was so funny I had a hard time controlling my laughter.
“Are you serious? I am just your bodyguard!” Lee emphasized his job description as if I didn’t know about it. “Hold on, are you doing this to discourage me from loving you?”
I just lifted an eyebrow in response to his inquiry because there’s no way in hell I would admit to it. He struck the right chord, but still, he wouldn’t get any confirmation for his suspicion. “I can tell that you have a wild imagination, Lee.”
“Oh, come on, Selena, being coy doesn’t suit you, do you know that?”
“So what if that was my plan?” In the end, I gave him a hint that he could be right or wrong.
“So you expect me to do the cooking and the cleaning,” he reiterated his future assignment on top of being my bodyguard.
“That is correct,” I told him.
“And what do I get in return? Free sex?”
When he casually mentioned doing it for free, I felt so cheap, and his words were kind of insulting. His words were full of spite, and I was hurt…a little! However, I managed to offer him my sweetest smile. “Yeah, we can still do it until I become pregnant.”
“Fair enough,” he agreed. “So, on my first day, what do you expect me to do? May I have the list of my assignments on a day-to-day basis?”
“There’s no specific list, Lee. You have to be available every time I call you, understand?”
“Whoa! Aren’t you mean right now? Come on, Selena! We shared more than our bodies for you to start treating me this way,” he complained.
“Come on, Lee. Can you cooperate? I am doing this for both of us. Just trust me on this, and we don’t have to be miserable for the rest of our lives,” I assured him.
“I doubt we will be able to do that now, Selena. Don’t you think it’s too late for that? Just go with the flow and let your fate decide what’s good for you,” he suggested.
“Oh really? I think you have forgotten something about me, Lee.”
“Such as?”
“I am a risk-taker,” I reminded him.
“Then, why can’t you take a risk with me?” He inquired.

When I looked at him, my eyes instinctively moved to his remarkably smooth hands, and I found myself wondering why I had just noticed it. “Will you cook for our breakfast, or should we just order for a delivery?” I asked for his opinion, but his response was only a blank stare. I snapped my brows together while waiting for his mouth to open. “Why do you have to do this, Selena? You were living just fine, in a mansion, with several servants. Why do you have to make things complicated?” “Because I want to,” I said before dismissing him out of my sight. There were two bedrooms on the second level, but only one was unlocked, and the other was shut and bolted. The locked chamber was meant for my collection of toys and books. Aside from that, it has a love chair which I purchased online. I haven’t tried doing it in the love chair, and I had no idea what convinced me to buy it. As I stared into the love chair in pink colour, someone suddenly entered, and I panicked. “Nice,” he said. “Yo

When I informed him that he was the main reason I left my primary residence, Lee was adamant to go back to the mansion. He even called my father first, and as a result, several men in their tuxedos waited outside the bungalow. I was so furious at Lee for meddling in, and I refused to talk to him while we traveled back home. Upon our arrival, I immediately saw my aunt, who was more than happy to see me again. It was less than twenty-four hours, but her facial reaction told me that it was wrong to leave her alone. “Aunt,” I greeted her with a smile before letting her embrace me tightly. “I missed you, pumpkin.” “Aren’t you overreacting? It’s less than a day!” I complained to her because I was only gone for less than a day, yet she made me feel guilty. “Where’s my father?” “He went to the resort,” she replied. “Busy as always, isn’t he?” “Just let him do his things, Selena. Have you had your dinner? Should I prepare the table? I am sure that both of you are hungry,” she stated. “

When I bargained with my father, I didn’t expect to lose my chance of getting out of the marriage he arranged for me. When I asked him for confirmation in case he was wrong, I heard the same answer repeatedly. Why did I fail to notice it? When he invited the couple for dinner in our home, I should have seen their intention. Why did I become so blind that night? “Goodnight, Selena,” Lee said after he accompanied me up to the door of my bedroom. I knew it was already late, but I needed to do something to relieve my worries. “Come inside,” I told him in a low voice. Nevertheless, it was a voice full of demand, and he had no chance to refuse. “Do you know what I learned tonight? I am getting married to someone from the Salcedo Group.” “Did he tell you?” “Yes, and I am so furious about it now! I heard that the men from Salcedo would never agree to a fixed marriage, but what happened? Was it just for publicity?” I bent out my frustrations at Lee, and the man didn’t know what to say. “Do

As I closed my eyes, I could see his face. When I laid in bed, I had a distinct impression that I had waited for him to return. My eyes felt tired, and while I struggled to remain awake, I heard him out in the hallway, albeit not as many obscenities. Once again, I closed my eyes and prepared to go to sleep. I had been sleeping soundly for a while when a loud bang on the door awakened me. Immediately, I got up from my bed and headed toward the source of the noise. When I opened it, Lee walked right in without having to be asked. “Hey, what do you think you are doing?” I asked after he comfortably settled down in my bed. Even though he didn’t answer, he started snoring heavily on my bed a few moments later. I had no idea what time it was, but I was stuck with something heavy on my thighs when I woke up. When I opened my eyes, it felt like there were a lot of cobwebs in front of me, and I couldn’t see correctly. I placed my hands on it and yelled in surprise when I discovered his leg

When I closed my eyes, though, I saw Lee’s face, and the moment we had had earlier came flooding back to me. I moaned and tried to distract myself from the erotic memory in my thoughts, but it was futile. As he plunged himself within me, I was plagued by the intensity of his look, and before I realized it, my hand had slipped lower to touch myself. “No, I must not do this,” I said to myself and withdrew my hand from touching the most intimate part of my body. However, I was unable to distract my focus, and I was unable to sleep. Finally, I got up and decided to clean my room. I needed something to distract my mind. First, I changed the drapes, and the bed cover followed. I also reorganized my closet and discarded the clothes that were seldom used. In a few hours, I was done, but I still missed him so much. I could see him intently watching over me whenever I looked around and wished I didn’t hurt his feelings and pride. I tried to stop him from quitting his job, but the man was adam

After his introduction, the world appeared to be spinning around me, and I felt like I was gripped by a sharp and throbbing agony that made me want to vomit. For a second, I prayed that the pain would be gone, but his betrayal was one of a kind, and I glared at him. “Did you bribe the agency that handled our security?” I inquired when I realized what he had done just to be accepted as my bodyguard. “No, I bought it,” he replied without feeling any guilt about lying to me. “What did you say? You bought the entire agency just to keep your lies?” Whoa, I was astounded at his cleverness. Nevertheless, my respect for the man changed drastically, and I was not too fond of his guts. “Why did you do it?” “Because I wanted to know my fiancée, and hmmm, I planned to convince you about not marrying me,” he answered. My eyes blinked several times upon hearing his explanation. Yes, I didn’t want to marry the man who was arranged for me, but hearing Lee say those words were like a knife to my

When I saw his sad expression, I was almost tempted to take back my words. However, I remained firm in my decision. When he stared into my eyes, I pursed my lips and frowned at him. He looked pitiful when he looked down and stared at the floor, but I couldn't just let it slide. "Please accept my apologies, Selena. I didn't want to hurt your feelings, but it just happened, and I felt bad for it," he explained. As I listened to him, I could feel the sincerity in his words. However, it wasn't an excuse for his lies and pretensions. "You must have laughed at me behind your back because you managed to fool me, Lee." "It's not true!" He denied my accusations. "I know it's hard to believe, but I fell in love with you during our first meeting." "Now, you're making me laugh. Are you telling me that it's love at first sight? Are you kidding me, Lee?" "Can you give me another chance? I want to prove to you that my feelings are sincere," he said. "Lee, I am terrified to accept you again or

Since it’s just me and Lee, who ate breakfast together, I decided to wash the plates and utensils we used earlier. I was doing the dishes when he unexpectedly hugged me behind, and I couldn’t concentrate on my task. When I felt his mouth on my flesh, I jerked my neck back a little. Before I lost control of my body, I asked him, “What do you think you’re doing?” “I enjoy it when you are mischievous...but only in front of me,” he whispered. I cringed as Lee mumbled enticing words into my ear, and I gasped for air as he softly bit the skin on my neck and sucked on it. “Stop!” I raised my voice in protest before we wouldn’t be able to control our libido. “I’m sorry, baby, but I just can’t help myself,” Lee answered in hushed tones before releasing his grip on my neck. “Did you just leave a mark on me?” He chuckled when I narrowed my eyes at him and replied, “Yes. I put a mark on what belongs to me, and you are mine.” My knees began to wobble as I listened to what he said. Lee’s conc

I was taken aback by the property where he took me after the wedding. From the exterior, this property seemed to be luxurious. It was constructed of grey brickwork and had white cedarwood ornamentation. Tall, circular windows allowed plenty of natural light to enter the residence, and they have been strategically placed throughout the structure in a reasonably symmetrical design. The property was furnished with a standard kitchen and three bathrooms, a large living room, two bedrooms, a small dining area, a library, and an oversized garage with plenty of parking spaces. The structure has a rectangular form to it, and beautifully landscaped grounds completely encircled it. A large number of smaller windows would let plenty of natural light enter the rooms below the roof. Besides the home itself, there was paved land around it with numerous party areas, such as a luxury grill and a campfire. I was amazed at the design, but it was expected for Liam to own something gorgeous. “Vera buil

The majority of the female guests were taken aback by the edginess of my wedding dress, but the majority of the male attendees were drawn to my cleavages. I shook my head in surprise when I realised that even married guys were staring. When a marching song began to play in the background, my father appeared behind me, and the two of us went together toward the red carpet that had been spread out on the ground. Over the years, he practiced hypocrisy, and he successfully convinced everyone that we were on good terms. “You should get an award for being the finest actor in the world, Daddy,” I said with my teeth gritted, and when I turned to look at him, he grinned at me. “It will be over soon,” he whispered back as if his statement would make a difference. I was so preoccupied with my predicament that I completely missed the presence of the guy waiting for me at the altar. I looked around for my groom, but I couldn’t seem to locate him anywhere. “Can you tell me where Robert is?” “T

The skyline was dotted with towering buildings, many constructed within the previous ten years or less. The city was seeing unprecedented growth in employment, which has received a great deal of attention. Several distinct cultures have left their imprints on education and the personality of the city as a whole. What was once a city of little variety has evolved into a fusion of everything. The sense of belonging to a heterogeneous society has made its imprint. One may choose from hundreds of clubs, theme restaurants, and diners. Those looking for something different could go sightseeing, touring the city, doing aerobics, or visiting one of the numerous other recreational places. “My parents can be talkative sometimes,” he suddenly said while he turned left in the next corner. “Your parents? Wait, are you saying that we are going to dine with them?” “Yes. We are heading towards one of your restaurants,” he said. I slapped his arm to question his motive, but he just ignored it. Th

Robert remained quiet and puckered his lips in response, and I frowned at him! Was he under the impression that he could intimidate me with a severe look on his face? He has to rethink his position! I stepped away as he walked towards me as if he was going to kiss me! As soon as he got close enough to kiss me, I ran upstairs like a coward and didn’t look back. An hour later, I went downstairs to talk to my father, who had just gotten home. It was up to me to persuade him that my marriage to Robert would be a complete catastrophe. The bodyguard stayed in the shadows but kept a close eye on me at all times. “Daddy, can we talk?” “Can you tell me what it is this time?” He inquired in a severe tone that made my palms shiver in terror every time he spoke. “I don’t get along with Robert, Daddy.” “You’re not required to do so. Just get married to him and let him save you from total humiliation! Your future is safe in Robert’s capable hands!” He said it in a matter-of-fact tone, which I

When Robert stared at me for a second, I thought he would rebut my accusation, but he remained staring at me, and it was uncomfortable. When he remained silent and just stared, I arched my brows at him and asked, “Are you not going to say anything?” “You used to like me when we were younger,” he said, implying that I had a crush on him in the past. I thought I would die of annoyance when he mentioned the ‘crush thing’ from the past. “It’s all in the past, Robert. While it is true that you are still good-looking, I don’t think I can survive living with you. You smelled like a dead person!” “Having body odour is normal, isn’t it?” “Oh, my God! Here we go again,” I let out a sigh of exasperation. When he tried to come closer to me, I yelled and turned around. I hurried towards the door, my hand covering my lips with the other hand. He had feet that smelled like a dead animal, and I felt sick to my stomach! Could he get any more repulsive? “Selena, wait!” “Stay where you are, please

Robert was rendered speechless, but it didn't take him long to change his expression. In a split second, he stared daggers at me, and the way he looked at my neck, and I was worried he would strangle me to death. For a moment, I felt relieved that my father hired a new bodyguard who was probably lurking near us to save me anytime. "Are you looking for the bodyguard? I'm sorry to disappoint you, Selena, but he's not here now and wouldn't be able to save you. Do you understand what I am trying to tell you?" "Yes!" I replied, and without any warning, I ran towards the safety of my room. When I heard him call my name again, my hands shook in fear. When I looked behind my shoulders, I saw him move a little, and as he got closer to me, I became so nervous and almost peed on my clothes. I pointed my finger at him and warned him incessantly not to come closer, but he merely grinned as if there was something funny going on. "Stop where you are right now!" I shouted at him. "Selena, what's

When Robert called my name again, I was worried he would do something terrible to me, so I ran away, and I heard him laugh from a distance. What's his deal? I tried to call Layla to ask her some questions about Robert, but her phone was turned off.With a heavy heart, I went outside for fresh air. From the balcony, I strolled towards our manicured garden and headed towards the swing. I missed spending time in the swing with Lee or my aunt. Speaking of which, I recalled I had something to discuss with Aunt Jenny, so I immediately dialed her phone number.However, it was out of the coverage area. I tried again, but I got the same result. Anyway, I gave up on calling her and shifted my focus to the surroundings. While staring at the budding flower close to me, I couldn't stop thinking about Lee. Every day, I have been checking for an article that would mention the union of Katherine Hamilton and Liam Salcedo, but I couldn't find any write-ups.For the nth time, I sighed in frustration. I

When he mentioned my pregnancy, I narrowed my eyes at him and wondered how the Hell he knew about my condition. For several days, I tried to ignore the issue. As soon as I noticed the delay in my monthly period, I purchased a pregnancy kit that could help me confirm my suspicion. When it was time to use it, I waited patiently, and when it turned out to be positive, I nearly collapsed inside the bathroom. It was such a shocking turn of events, but I couldn't blame anyone for my negligence. I wasn't taking birth control pills when I allowed him to sleep with me. It was reckless, but I was not thinking correctly during those times and let my emotions take over my mind. I let my emotions control me, so I had to bear the consequences of my actions. "I am going to raise my child alone," I declared in front of my father. "Says who? I won't let you ruin our reputation," he stated in a monotone which was even scarier. "Daddy! What about my life? Is it more important than our name? Are you

There was no announcement about Katherine Hamilton’s engagement with Liam Salcedo on news outlets and television, but I knew they were planning their wedding. Some of our common friends mentioned it, and except for Layla, they were all happy about the upcoming union of Katherine Hamilton and Liam Salcedo. Since I was not in the mood to go back to work, I asked my father to lend one of his managers to manage mine for the time being. It was a risky move, especially when my sea freight business had been doing well in the previous months, and we were headed to expansion. I tried so hard to convince myself and go to work, but my mind and heart wouldn’t cooperate! I knew I was wallowing in self-pity and self-destruction, but I couldn’t stop myself from being so melodramatic. I was aware that forgetting him and moving on were the only options to survive the recent heartbreak, but everything about Liam Salcedo haunted me! At night, I would see him in my dreams! During the daytime, I was a
