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 built this one, right?” I asked after recognizing the design from the home magazine published by Vera’s Group.
“Yes, and it’s a gift from Julianna,” he replied.
If I didn’t know that Julianna Vera was Ethan Salcedo’s wife, I would be jealous of how he said her name. “So this place is yours,” I said.
“Nope. It’s ours,” he corrected me, and I was in for another shock.
I thought that Katherine’s presence was shocking enough during the wedding, but Daddy managed to pull a grand surprise for his only daughter. Robert Dixon was just a substitute, and both of them were working with my husband to surprise me on the big day.
“Don’t cry,” he whispered.
“I am not about to cry, Lee. I’m just sad to treat your friend that way. I had no idea that you are friends with Robert Dixon!” It made me feel horrible about how I treated Robert, particularly when I remembered how much I had teased him about his foul odour.
“Don’t worry about Robert. He was willing to do it to practice for a role,” Lee stated.
“A role for what? He’s going to be an actor?”
“No, he’s going to annoy the woman who kept on chasing him,” he responded, and I just shrugged off my shoulders. “Anyway, let’s stop talking about them. I miss you so much, Selena. Every night, I dreamed of being with you, but I couldn’t ruin my plan!”
“Prove it,” I challenged him.
“How about this?” He asked before conquering my mouth fiercely.
The kiss was full of love, and I could feel it to my core. However, his kisses ignited the fire within me, and my hands fumbled when I began to unbuckle his belt. I didn’t hear any protest from him when I started to be naughty with him.
“I miss you too,” I said after kneeling in front of him, and Lee gripped my hair tightly when I kissed the tip of his hardness. When I first started using my tongue on him, he gazed up at the ceiling, and he groaned every once in a while.
The way he grasped my hair, and the way he thrust his hips towards my lips, made me hornier. He demanded more, so I moved the tip of my tongue underneath his firmness and into the delicate skin of his gonads. As a result, he moaned harder, and his grip on my hair became tighter. I sucked it, licked it, and played with it till he pleaded with me to stop!
“Fuck me now, darling,” he begged, and it was exactly what I had hoped he would say out loud.
As soon as I got up, I shoved him onto the bed before entirely removing his pants from him. He was the one who pulled his shirt off, and my eyes were immediately drawn to the well-sculpted physique on the bed! I couldn’t take my gaze away from him; he’s stunning and all muscular!
“Like this?” I teased him when I started to circle my hips around his hardness, and he bit his bottom lip.
“Yes...please!” He responded in a sexy manner, then he put his hands on my hips, and I knew it would be different and more pleasurable than our previous experiences.
The charge leveled against me by my father was the most absurd thing I had ever heard in my life! His demeanor revealed a great deal about him, and I couldn't believe he was my father and shook my head in amazement. ”Scammed? He is not a con artist!” When I stood up for my boyfriend against his charges, he burst out laughing in response. The fact that he doubted my ability to assess a person's character was insulting to me! “So, who exactly is he? An opportunistic gold-digger?” He shouted. Despite my best efforts, he continued to degrade the man I loved the most, and every time he opened his blasted mouth, I wanted to slap him in the face to silence him, but I couldn't be violent towards my father. “I recently found out that you took a sizable sum of money out of your savings,” he added. “Dad, you're harsh and judgmental, to say the least! Just because someone is not well-off does not imply that he is an opportunist!!” Upon hearing my explanation, he grinned. “Wait till your ban
While driving, I took several deep breaths and let out a huge sigh as I managed to flee from my guards. After he arranged my marriage to a stranger, he assigned several people to watch over me. I was a prisoner in my own home, and I didn’t want to keep it that way…forever! So I decided to leave for good. I felt terrible for misleading Aunt Jenny and some of the guards, but I had no choice. I wanted the freedom to travel and experience the outside world, which had been out of reach for me for a period of time. Being aware that it was a dangerous road, I was driving slowly while traveling down the winding path. I was in a hurry and bothered simultaneously, so witnessing a truck losing its control terrified me. As the truck made contact with the asphalt, I let out a frightened cry and began to tremble violently. After seeing the twisted wreckage of the truck, my hands began to shake with fear, and it took me a while to realize that someone was in dire need of help and that I was the o
Since the incident, I have minimized my activities outside my residence. I enjoyed being holed up in my bedroom because I felt safe inside it. The boyfriend who duped me remained unknown, and with every passing day, I regret meeting that person. I regret everything that I did for him. I was so naïve to believe his sweet words! The boyfriends that I used to have were merely tools to help me prove that it’s possible to marry for love. I’ve always believed in fairytales and happy endings, but all of my relationships were a failure. Sometimes it’s me, but of the time, it’s because of my father, because he loved to interfere in my personal affairs! My father had no idea about the real reason why I always wanted to marry for love. He had no idea about what I kept doing inside my room whenever I feel like doing it! He had no idea how naughty his daughter could be, and no man could handle my addiction for so long…unless he truly loves me! For years, I have struggled to restrain my urges to
The man was crazy to propose such a thing to me! The nerve! For a second, I couldn’t speak because of shock. No, it wasn’t just a normal shock. I was enraged at his dirty proposal! “How dare you!” I shouted at the bastard. “Take it or leave it, Miss Selena, but I won’t settle for less,” he continued. “One million dollars isn’t less, you arrogant bastard!” “For some people, it’s huge; however, I don’t need your money, Madam. So, if you will spend a night with me, I will gladly leave in the morning. Decide now before it’s too late,” he stated. I narrowed my eyes at the man who dared to flip the situation. I was the one to make the first offer, but he managed to call the shots with just one sentence that disturbed my senses! “You are crazy if you believe that I’m going to have sex with you. For your information, you are not my type,” I informed him, but he just chuckled at my response! “Are you sure? Look at me, Miss.” “What do you think you’re doing, Lee?” I shouted at the man who
The bodyguard was obstinate, so last night, I decided to change my style of dealing with him. Something was intriguing about the man. He was overbearing, confident, and so sure about himself. He acted superior to me, and I hated it very much! Since I had a scheduled meeting with my staff, I got up earlier than usual. At a quarter to six, I was already prepared and ready to start my day. Before leaving my room, I envisioned myself having a good day at my workplace, but someone’s face ruined my mood when I got out of my bedroom. “Good morning, Madame,” he greeted with a wide grin on his face. In response, I arched my brows at him, but the arrogant man just smiled at me. As I proceeded down the hallway, I stared down at the man who waited outside my bedroom and dismissed him entirely as I entered the elevator. “What are you doing, Lee?” I asked him why he was following me when I clarified to him last night that I didn’t need a bodyguard. In reply, he said in a monotone, “I have to be
Was it a joke? How dare he bossed me around! Giving him a death stare was never enough, and I wanted to kick him so badly. “How dare you?”“Why? Did I say something wrong, Miss Montes?” He asked while pretending to be innocent.“In case you have forgotten, Mr. Lee, I am the boss here, and you are my employee,” she reminded him. Instead of feeling remorseful, the arrogant man just grinned at me as if nothing happened. Was he crazy?“We just made a deal; shouldn't we seal it with a kiss?” He jested.“Do you have a death wish?” I scolded him immediately.“Alright, a handshake will do,” he compromised, and then he extended his hand for a handshake.Accepting it was the easiest part, but the moment our palms connected, I was jolted to the core and felt the electrical energy run through my body. When I was able to speak on the subject, Lee quietly moved his plate and took a faraway seat from me, where he went on to eat as if nothing had happened.My body's reaction to his proximity was very
For a moment, I was dumbfounded by his statement and immediately dismissed him for doing his job. However, his words continued to bother me, even when I was working in front of the computer. At that time, it appeared as though Lee was excellent, and it made me wonder whether or not he was handsome. It must have occurred to him that I’d been studying him from a distance and had glanced in my direction. Suddenly, I became uncomfortable in my seat. I had to push myself to smile at him, but he had the opposite reaction. Finally, when our eyes met, I panicked when he stood up and walked towards me. Oh no! I glared at him for a second, but it wasn’t enough to stop him. “So, how’s the job, Lee? Who are we meeting tonight?” I referred to his assignment regarding the issue of my impending marriage. Lee had lowered his head to mine, and his eyes were staring directly at my cleavage. The fact that he had been able to sneak up on me was surprising to me, and I let out a gasp. “Perhaps you shou
Supposedly, we would meet one of my prospects. However, it was canceled at the last minute. As a result, it appeared like I was dating my bodyguard in a fancy restaurant. I was chewing on my steak when my father called, and I had to excuse myself from Lee. “I’ll just take this call,” I told him. “Go on,” he said. “Yes, Daddy?” “Hey, pumpkin! How have you been? I hope that Lee didn’t give you a headache!” Father said on the other line, and his voice told me that he was excited about something. “You sound so excited. Are you with a woman?” “No, of course not, pumpkin! You know how much I loved your mother very well, so it’s not in my plan to take another wife. Well, I’m on my way home now, and my friend from the university will have dinner with us tonight. Please come home early,” he stated. “That’s so sudden! I’m afraid we will embarrass them, Daddy,” I said worriedly because I wasn’t home to supervise what food to prepare for dinner. “Don’t worry because your Aunt Jenny will p

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
