Jacob’s POV
"Let's watch a movie" I proposed, taking a seat next to her on the plush couch. Her presence was comforting, and I was keen to continue spending time with her.
She looked at me with an eager expression "Okay, but this time you're choosing. I want to know what your favorite ones are"
Chuckling at her enthusiasm, I picked up the remote "Fair warning, my taste in movies is quite varied. You might be in for a surprise" I cautioned her playfully.
I began to browse through our movie options, my mind racing over my favorites. My taste spanned different genres, years, and styles, from revered classics to hidden indie gems. After a bit of contemplation, I made my decision.
"Alright, Have you ever seen 'Léon: The Professional'? It's a bit of a cult classic”
Rima looked intrigued "No, I haven't seen it. What's it about?"
"It's a crime thriller with a heart" I explained "The story revolves around a professional hitm
Jacob’s POVHer head shook gently, a negation that was more a refusal to admit than a denial of the truth. She stubbornly averted her gaze, her voice a flat monotone that hung heavily in the air between us "No… I just... I didn't want you to catch the flu too. We shouldn't have..."Abruptly, she rose from the couch, her body language screaming a desire to flee. My own reflexes kicked in and I rose too, reaching out to gently but firmly encase her delicate shoulders, preventing her escape.The magnitude of her lie was like a physical blow, a punch that tore through my defenses and straight into my heart. It was the first time I had caught her in a lie, and the impact was devastating, shaking the foundations of the trust we had been building."Don't" I implored, my voice echoing the ache in my heart "Please, don't lie to me"Her eyes clamped shut, as if she could hide the torment and shame that were suddenly so evident in her posture. Sh
Jacob’s POVThe sorrow was overwhelming, a tidal wave of grief that threatened to pull me under. The realization of what she had been through, the scale of the trauma she had endured, was a bitter pill to swallow. I had known from the beginning that she carried burdens, but the reality of her pain, etched so vividly on her skin, was something I had never anticipated.Her tears sliced through my heart, each droplet a stinging reminder of the torment she had endured. My heart bled with her, a shared pain that was as deep as it was profound.Gently, I reached out, cupping her face in my hands. My fingers moved tenderly, trying to wipe away her tears, but they simply made way for new ones. It was a futile endeavor, a desperate attempt to erase her pain. The sight of her crying, the tears streaming down her face, was almost more than I could bear. I felt a lump forming in my throat, a choking sensation that mirrored my heartache."Stop crying" I implored, my voice hoarse with emotion. It w
Jacob’s POVHer touch was electric, sending a shiver of anticipation through me. Yet, there was something else. A flash of something in her eyes, a brief flicker of fear that she quickly masked behind a veil of determination.As she adjusted her position, her warm breath a tantalizing tease, I noticed the briefest of hesitations. This was a dance she knew, yet it seemed to hold ghosts of unwanted memories.I reached out instinctively, my hand gently gripping hers "You don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with" I told her, my voice soft and reassuring.She looked at me, her eyes shining with a mixture of gratitude and determination "I know" she said, her voice firm, her resolve clear "But I want to. For me, for you, for us"Under the dim light, her eyes met mine, a silent promise of the pleasure that was to come. She moved closer, her lips just inches away from my arousal. The anticipation was maddening, my heartbeat echoing in my
Jacob’s POVAt my words, her eyes widened, an almost imperceptible intake of breath passing through her lips."You are the woman I love" I had said, and the impact of those words hung heavy in the air between us.For a moment, there was a beat of silence. Then, slowly, her gaze softened, and a hint of color rose to her cheeks. She looked at me, truly looked at me, and what I saw in her eyes was a mixture of surprise, vulnerability, and hope."You... you love me?" she asked softly, her voice barely above a whisper. The question wasn't one of disbelief, but more of confirmation, as if she needed to hear the words again to know they were real."I do, Rima" I confirmed, my tone gentle yet firm "I love you. Scars and all"Her eyes shimmered under the dim light, a tear escaping to trace a path down her cheek. But this time, it was not a tear of sorrow, but one of relief, of acceptance. I reached out, tenderly wiping it away with my thumb.
Rima’s POVMy eyes flickered open reluctantly, my body slick with sweat. It felt as if I was soaked through, an unpleasant sensation that pulled me abruptly from my sleep.Early daylight was slipping through the long curtains, it looked to be almost six in the morning.I found myself nestled against Jacob, my head resting on his chest. Realizing the side of my face was damp, I noticed a damp patch on his sweater as well from my sweat. Yet, he was still asleep, his breathing steady and unaffected by the discomfort I had inadvertently caused.I became acutely aware of his arm, draped around me in a protective hold. The realization stirred a fluttering sensation in my stomach, a swarm of butterflies that seemed to fill the emptiness within.My mind began to sift through the events of the previous day, each memory unfolding with startling clarity. It was a day of unexpected confessions and shared vulnerability, a day that had brought us closer in
Rima’s POVAs we soaked in the warm, fragrant water, time seemed to stand still. The tranquility of the moment was only broken by the faint sound of water lapping against the sides of the tub and our soft, shared breaths.Jacob's fingers traced idle patterns on my arms, his touch gentle and soothing. His other hand held mine under the water, his thumb rubbing comforting circles on the back of my hand. I closed my eyes, leaning back into his chest, and let out a content sigh."Feeling better?" he asked, his voice a soft whisper in my ear.I nodded, opening my eyes to look at him "Much better. Thank you, Jacob"He smiled, pressing a soft kiss to my temple "Anything for you" he murmured, his words sending a warm flutter through my heart.We remained there for a while, soaking in the warm water and each other's company. Despite being unwell, I felt a sense of peace and comfort that I hadn't felt in a long time. It was as though, with Jacob
Rima’s POVIt was as though the intensity of our lovemaking had somehow banished the lingering traces of my illness. As though the pleasure had burned away the sickness, leaving me feeling restored and rejuvenated. My appetite had returned, and with it, my energy and zeal for work.Jacob, ever the protective lover, was hesitant to let me dive back into work. But after a particularly persuasive sexual encounter, he had no choice but to concede. We found ourselves in his home office, supposedly working but often getting distracted by the palpable tension between us.Every glance exchanged, every brush of our fingers, every whispered word was charged with a desire that was hard to ignore. We'd find ourselves locked in a heated stare, our minds far from the work at hand. It was a delicious torture, a game of temptation that we both were more than willing to play.However, my victory was short-lived. Jacob, still concerned about my recent recovery, decided that I had worked enough. His stu
Rima’s POVAt George's words, Jacob's face paled, his eyes widening in shock. The warm, friendly demeanor he had always carried seemed to crack, revealing a raw vulnerability. He looked at me, then at George, his gaze shifted from George's hand around my waist to my face, disbelief etched in his eyes.Before I could utter a word, George interjected, his words like poison-tipped arrows "Of course, you know her as...Rima Karam here. But nonetheless, I'm still her husband"His words reverberated through the hall, a chilling reminder of my lies that threatened to shatter the life I had built here. My heart felt like it was lodged in my throat, a throbbing drum beating out a frantic rhythm.Jacob remained silent, his stunned expression saying more than words ever could. Sensing the tension, George dropped his hand and turned towards me, speaking in low Arabic "Shebo masdum? Haket shi ghalat?" (Why is he so traumatized? Was it something I said?)Ge

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
