55. Teasing Away Embarrassment
Last Updated:
2023-09-19 00:05:04Rima’s POV
A consistent knock on the door roused me from my deep slumber. I groaned and turned to the other side, willing whoever was knocking to go away if I kept my eyes closed and ignored them. I was dead tired, I didn’t want to wake up for at least ten more hours. Jacob's bed was like a cloud, soft and warm, hugging my tired body in a cocoon of comfort.
But the knocking continued, insistent and unyielding. With a sigh of resignation, I forced my eyes open, squinting at the dim light filtering into the room. My watch read eight-thirty in the evening. With my body protesting every movement, I hauled myself out of the comfortable bed and trudged towards the door, ready to dismiss whoever dared to disturb my much-needed rest.
As I swung the door open, I found Jacob standing in the hallway. His raised fist hung in mid-air, a surprised look on his face swiftly transforming into a smirk "Hey there, sleepy" he greeted me, his eyes twinkling with mirth "T

Rima's POVAs dinner came to an end, a sense of communal camaraderie filled the room. We all pitched in to clear the table, the clattering dishes resonating with the warmth of shared responsibility. April, however, excused herself to attend to the soft cries of her baby echoing down from upstairs.Initially, the family insisted I abstain from the cleaning, treating me with the delicate hands reserved for guests. But when I persisted, they relented, allowing me to carry the dishes back to the sink and cleaning the table.Once the table was cleared and the dishes were arranged into the dishwasher, we migrated to the living room. The comfortable couches welcomed us, the soft fabric a contrast to the hard wood of the dining table. Just then, April descended the staircase, cradling her tiny baby in her arms, a beacon of motherly love.She took a seat next to Jacob, her arms comfortably nestled around the bundle of joy. The baby, seemingly oblivious to the worl

Rima’s POVThe family reappeared in the room carrying a multitude of colorful gift bags and boxes. A renewed sense of anticipation filled the room as they handed their presents to Diana one by one.Alex and Jenny were the first to present their gift. They handed Diana a delicately wrapped box. As she opened it, a sparkle caught the light. It was a lovely silver bracelet, its elegance reflecting Diana's own gracefulness. It was simple, yet sophisticated, a perfect match for Diana's style.Next came Lucas and Angelina. They handed over a larger box, beautifully wrapped and adorned with a ribbon. As Diana opened it, her eyes lit up. Inside was a leather-bound journal, its pages empty and waiting for her wisdom and thoughts. Knowing Diana's love for writing, it was a thoughtful and fitting gift.April and David were next. They presented her with a smaller box. Inside was a beautiful pair of pearl earrings. The pearls were a soft, warm color, gleaming su
Last Updated : 2023-09-21Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 58. Bombshells of Revelations
Rima’s POVI stood in the shadows, my heart pounding in my chest like a drum. I wanted to step out, to explain to Jacob that he had misread the situation with Demir and me. His attempt to force Alex into accepting a deal merely to sever my connection with Savas would be futile. The two matters were entirely unrelated. But to express this, I would need to provide evidence, a logical reason for permitting Demir into my world. Yet revealing such a secret would open a torrent of other inquiries I was not prepared to confront.As the silence stretched on, it was Alex who broke it, his words cold as ice "You seem to have forgotten who the leader is here, Jacob. Your position still stands but it will not force me into a decision I am not even ready to make yet. Not for a woman you have feelings for that she so obviously does not return"An unexpected ally rose in the form of Lucas, his voice steady yet filled with an undercurrent of challenge "Maybe she does.

Rima’s POVThe room shifted, two additional figures materializing next to Alex. Suddenly, I was the center of attention, their eyes all fixed on me. It felt as though I was sinking, drowning in a sea of embarrassment. The position I'd been caught in was far from ideal.Lucas was the first to break the silence, a playful lilt in his voice that seemed entirely out of place given the tension "Well, isn't this interesting" he mused, a smirk playing on his lips "Just how long were you here, darling? Just so we are all on the same page about how much of our little chat you overheard"His casual demeanor was a stark contrast to the icy glare Alex continued to bore into me. And Jacob, he was still silent, his expression one of surprise. A wariness had crept into his eyes, as though he was rapidly calculating the potential fallout of my unexpected eavesdropping.I couldn't fault Alex for his reaction, his anger was justified. It was a private conversation, o

Rima’s POV“Don’t do this, please…” I started to say in agony but he interrupted me."No" he said, his voice a fortress against my plea “No, no more arguments. I am not asking for anything back from you, I am not having any expectations. I was wrong to force you to choose that night. You weren’t ready to open up and I backed you into a corner, I regret it so much and I won’t do that again. I want us to start fresh, to try again and this time I promise I won’t pressure you into anything. I won’t ask you to say something you don’t want to tell me about. I know you have feelings for me Rima, I am not imagining things. You are pushing me away because you don’t think you can open up to me, and I accept that part of you. It’s completely fair if I know what to expect from you. I want you in any way you can be with me”His words left me speechless, my gaze locked on his. The depth
Last Updated : 2023-09-24Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 61. The Monster I Had Become
Rima’s POV“At the time, I believed his plan was too dangerous and would risk too many lives. In our quest for revenge, many of our own men and Patrick’s men were going to die. So that night, I infiltrated his house without alerting anyone and silently killed him in his home office. It was the first and last time I ever killed someone. I had thought it would be hard for me, but it wasn’t. I didn’t even hesitate as I shot him three times without blinking. I thought that I would feel something then – remorse for taking a life, even one who deserved it, or relief for ending the life of the man who had destroyed our family. But I felt nothing. Absolutely nothing. I left his office planning to return the way I had come when I was stopped dead in my tracks by the sight of Jenny outside her room"He fell silent then, unable to continue. I could see the battle raging within him, the struggle to put into words the emotions that were evidently
Last Updated : 2023-09-25Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 62. It Means a Lot to Me
Rima’s POVI gazed at him tenderly, witnessing a side of him that was far removed from the image he held of himself. He was not a monster, but a man deeply attuned to the feelings and struggles of others, shouldering their burdens as if they were his own and striving to offer his unwavering support."But Alex and Jenny seem deeply in love" I said tentatively, trying to make sense of the paradox."When he said he ruined her life, and his, back at the dining room... it didn't add up. They seem to be profoundly in love despite the circumstances of their marriage""They are" he affirmed, his voice gentle "They fell in love quickly and deeply just a week after Alex forced her into marriage. They've weathered many storms together since then, and each one has brought them closer. Initially, when Alex brought her home, it seemed doomed. We were all expecting her to hate us for killing her father, just as we were prepared to despise her for her father's role

Rima's POVI was roused from my sleep by the soft cry of a baby echoing through the silence. Blinking against the morning light that filtered into the room, I stretched languidly, my gaze drifting towards my wristwatch. It read half-past seven. Despite the early hour, I felt the refreshing tendrils of a good night's sleep wrapping around me, leaving me feeling rejuvenated.Quickly, I slipped into the ensuite, letting the warm water of the shower wash away any lingering sleepiness. As I dried my hair, the baby's cries continued to echo in the background, a soft undertone to the morning's tranquility.I dressed simply, pulling on a pair of casual blue jeans and a comfortable white sweater with long sleeves. The outfit was simple yet chic, perfect for the morning ahead.The baby's cries, persistent yet soft, were now emanating from downstairs. As I descended the staircase, the sounds of an awakening household greeted me. The living room was alive with activi

Love Me Not, Mr. Snow Epilogue
Jacob’s POVNine Months Later"Isn't he just exquisite?" Mom breathed out, utterly captivated. Her eyes shimmered with grandmotherly tenderness as she leaned over the crib, absorbed in the cherubic face of our little one. The baby returned her gaze with a quiet, wide-eyed wonder, a tiny observer in his newfound world.Nine extraordinary, life-changing months had rolled by since Rima, my beacon of strength and beauty, and I found our way back to each other. Each sunrise, each sunset, each shared glance and whispered "I love you" had knitted our lives closer together.Only three weeks after that heartfelt proposal amid the soft, cascading snowflakes in my hometown Snow, we vowed to be each other's forever in front of those who mattered most. Our honeymoon was a blur of laughter, shared secrets, and the unspoken promise of a lifetime of togetherness.One of my pledges to Rima, that radiant woman who radiates courage and kindness in equal measure
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 103. Forever Much
Rima’s POVTears began to pool in my eyes, born from the profound sincerity of his confession. My body was still humming, a residual echo of what had transpired just moments ago.The notion of him spanking me had never crossed my mind before, it was a boundary I had vowed never to cross again. Yet, when it happened... it felt right. It sparked an unexpected surge of desire within me. And it was all because of him, because of Jacob. With him, I felt a safety I hadn't felt before, a certainty that a simple, firm "stop" from me would have been enough to halt him, despite his anger.And when he took control, thrusting into me from behind, his dominance over my body was mind-blowing, earth-shattering."You're ogling" Jacob teased, his voice filled with amusement. I had spent the last few minutes drinking in his handsome features, marveling at how much I had missed them."I can't help it. I was on the brink of madness, thinking I might never see yo
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 102. Gentle? Or Rough?
Jacob’s POV"Jacob..." Her voice was breathy, filled with a potent mix of surprise and pleasure. Her response fueled my desire, driving me to repeat the action, each spank a punctuation to the silent conversation our bodies were having. She met each one with a gasp, a moan, a plea for more.My hand moved in a rhythm of its own, rising and falling, each impact a resonant note in the symphony of our reunion. The room was awash with the symphony of our breaths, punctuated by the sharp smacks of my hand against her flesh and her soft cries of surrender."Say you want this, Rima" I commanded, my voice a husky rumble that punctuated the quiet around us. It was not a mere question, but a demand, a plea for her to vocalize the raw, unadulterated desire we were both drowning in."Yes...God, yes, Jacob" she gasped out, her words syncing with the rhythm of my hand against her skin. Her admission was a sweet capitulation, a confession of the primal dance we wer
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 101. Damn You!
Jacob’s POVThe moment I found her in the closet, my heart had dropped like a stone in my chest. She was here. She was real. The woman who had haunted every waking moment and every restless dream, was here, in the flesh.Her presence was like a punch to the gut, stirring up a whirlwind of emotions I'd buried deep within me. Anger, hurt, betrayal - they all surged to the surface, a potent cocktail that threatened to consume me. Yet, beneath it all, there was a glimmer of something else. Relief? Hope? I couldn't tell.The moment I saw her pull the trigger, my world came to a screeching halt. The gun, instead of being aimed at the door, was pressed against her own chest. My heart pounded in my ears, a deafening drum that drowned out everything else. I watched in frozen horror as her fingers tightened around the trigger, a look of grim determination on her face.But the expected bang never came. The gun didn't discharge. The safety was on.Her ha
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 100. I Hate You Back!
Rima’s POVHis words struck me like a sledgehammer, shattering my composure as easily as glass under strain. Never in my life had I anticipated hearing them, never had I fathomed the depth of meaning he'd imbue in them. The impact was monumental, a seismic shift that brought me to my knees, or would have, had his unyielding grip on my chin not kept me upright."No, please!" I found myself pleading, a raw cry torn from somewhere deep within. Pain surged through me, transcending all previous thresholds as those three damnable words echoed in my mind, a relentless mantra of rejection.Through my sobs, I reached out, my hands wrapping around his arm in a plea for mercy, for understanding. I was a puppet to my emotions, my words and actions spilling forth in an uncontrollable torrent "Jacob, don't do this to me! Don't kill me in this way! You could take that gun and shoot me right now, and it wouldn't be as painful as hearing those words from you!"His r
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 99. Higher Power Intervention
Rima’s POVTransfixed, my eyes met a familiar pair of warm brown depths that had haunted my dreams and tormented my waking hours. Eyes filled with a raw, horrifying realization of my intention, a sight I never anticipated to witness.Was it a cruel twist of fate? Or perhaps the intervention of some higher power that had caused me to overlook the safety on the gun, preventing me from taking my own life in his presence?His eyes were wide, mirroring my own shock, filled with an emotion that looked suspiciously like relief. His gaze was heavy with an unreadable mix of emotions as he took in the sight of me, trembling, gun still pressed against my chest.Tentatively, Jacob reached out, his hand shivering as much as mine, and gently eased the gun from my grasp. His touch was gentle, warm, a stark contrast to the cold steel that had been resting against my skin moments before.He placed the gun on the nightstand with a care that suggested he was ha
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 98. Went Off on Her Own
Jacob’s POV"Let her go, Jacob. It's for your own good" Demir's voice rang out, hard and unyielding as I reached for the car handle, my other hand still holding Rosalie at gunpoint."Give me what I want and she'll be free" I retorted, my voice final."I promised Rima I'd keep you away from her. What will she think if I broke my word for you?" Demir shot back, trying to negotiate.My jaw clenched at his words. It was just like Rima to sacrifice her own happiness to protect the ones she loved, to prevent herself from experiencing another loss, even if that meant losing in another way - through separation."Do I care? Probably not!" I snapped, swinging the car door open for Rosalie.Just as she was about to step into the car, Demir's voice rang out again "Fine! I'll tell you!"That was surprisingly easy.Whoever Rosalie was to Demir, it was clear that she was far more than just a 'sub' to him."But not before you release her. Right this instant" Demir demanded, his tone serious.I looked
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 97. What the Hell, Snow?!
Jacob’s POV"Where is she?" The words slipped through my clenched teeth, each one heavy with an urgency that refused to be ignored."Do you really think my answer will change from when your brothers came asking the same question?" Demir replied, a hint of mockery tinging his words.I slammed my fist on the desk, my patience dwindling "Stop toying with me, Demir! You're the one she'd turn to after Tony's death. I know she came to you" I shot back.His response was a smirk, cold and infuriating "So, by your own admission, she doesn't trust you at all. Maybe you should take your own hint, Jacob, and let her go. She certainly has let you go"I could feel a hot rush of anger sweeping over me, an insurmountable wave that drowned reason and restraint. My fist connected with his jaw, the impact sending a jolt of pain through my chest as my wound protested the sudden movement. But I didn't allow the flare of pain to show on my face."Consider this your final warning, Demir" I warned, my voice
