MARRYING A RUTHLESS MAN 50
Cheska "You like it?" Kate asked. I stared at the nipple piercings with concern. It looks like it hurts more than a new tattoo. She laughed, then turned around showing me the huge tattoo on her back. "Got both yesterday. Would've asked you to follow me and get one too but I know you wouldn't do it. I believe Prince would love the nipple piercing on you." She pulled down her shirt and sat beside me on the bed. "Prince hasn't even seen my nipples." "I'm sure you want him to." I dropped back on the bed and stared up at the ceiling. "Does sex hurt? The first time?" Asking that question made my whole-body shiver, because it has been resting on my mind for weeks, along with other nasty details. Like the size of Prince dick, and the look he would give me while he was on top of me. I despised thinking like that, but controlling my thoughts was now a problem. "It feels like your kitty is being pulled out by a wrench." "Oh shit! I can't handle that." She chuckled. "I'm kidding cousin. It

Detective Vergara “Do you have a confession for me?” I pulled out a seat and sat in front of Alex. “I have nothing to say until my lawyer gets here.” “You can start confessing. That would be a wise decision.” “I did nothing wrong. Even punching you in the face was a great idea. Detective, you were being rude.” “Did you know that can land you two or more years in prison? He widened his eyes in surprise. I leaned back as I assessed his facial expressions. He tapped his fingers on the table nervously, and kept looking up at the camera “Fine. I might have sent one of those letters, But that’s it. I was just messing around.” “By threatening them?” “Yes. My friend doesn’t know how to treat his woman.” “So you decided to rape her?” “I spent months telling her how much she meant to me. I can’t go to bed without her running through my mind. Have you ever been in love detective?” “Never with my friends woman.” He scoffed. “I am in love with Cheska. She is my oxygen. I have made love

Cheska I laid there with the covers drawn to my neck staring at the ceiling, wishing I could sink between the sheets and disappear into thin air, but unfortunately my wish was not granted. Maybe God was punishing me for moaning so much last night, if that even made sense. Although I felt much pain, it still felt good. Is that a normal thing for my first time? I don't know! I sideyed Prince who was fast asleep. I felt relieved that he wasn't awake to see the awkward look on my face at this moment. I needed to figure out what type of face to put on since he saw and explored every inch of my body last night. I replayed the scene in my head, and it made me cringe. Did I even moan right? I rolled my eyes and sighed. I thought it would be all roses after sex, but instead, I wanted to disappear. I nervously watched the clock hoping he would sleep until midday, or maybe even until tomorrow. Does my pussy have that power? The power to put him to sleep for days? The swore feeling had me yearn

Prince Cheska pulled out of my hug and stepped back. For a minute I thought maybe she was joking, but she just stood there glaring at me. I knew exactly why she was mad, but I decided to play the fool. "What's wrong sweetheart?" "What's wrong? So, you didn't see your phone ringing yesterday?" Of course, I saw it, but I was in the middle of telling Henry how fucking amazing sex with you was. "No, I didn't. I told you I was at Henry's. You know how he gets once he starts talking." "What were you guys talking about?" If I tell you that there's a chance of you killing me. "I don't like when you are mad." I brushed her hair behind her ear and stepped closer to her, crowding her personal space. "After last night, shouldn't we talk?" she shook her head, and I decided not to pressure her to have this conversation. At least not yet. My body was craving for her touch right now, and it wasn't just to fuck. I wanted to make love. I clenched my jaw at the thought of my brain thinking that.

Cheska Andrew watches me as I sniffle, wiping a tear from my eye. I take a deep breath, still trying to calm myself down after what happened at the apartment. "I'm sorry," I say. "I shouldn't be doing this." But the tears just won't stop flowing. Prince words cut deep through my heart. I've never thought that he was only using me for revenge. It's like the person whom I used to know never exists. The one whom I love and loves me back. The one who always makes me feel contented and safe in his arms. I've never thought either that Drake would have done something so horrible to his best friend. I guess that I just have nowhere else to go now. I don't think that I can face either of them. Andrew seems to worry about me. He has stopped the carina secluded area of the street. "It's okay, Cheska," he says. "I don't know what your problem is. But you can just let it out. I'm here, if you need someone to talk to." I just look down, feeling ashamed of myself. This is the second time that o

Prince The story Drake has told me is insane. I feel like a hammer just hit me right on my head because it fucking hurts right now. How can I believe that Gia is the one who has stabbed me behind my back? Did she really betray me? And has Drake been on my side this entire time? Hell, from what I’ve heard, he even manipulated the woman who messed with me to get the fuck out of my life. “You know what, Prince?” Jake hisses. “The moment I heard about the rumors between you and Cheska, I wasn’t furious like the way I used to be when I heard about some guy trying to be with her. No, I wasn’t. In fact, I was thrilled. Thrilled that she finally found someone who was worthy enough to deserve her. Thrilled that it was you, my best friend.” I stare at him like the dumb person that I am. Drake’s eyes are filled with fury. I’ve never seen him so consumed by anger before. “I’d never entrusted Cheska to any man, until you came up,” he says, his jaw tightening. “l thought you were just the perf

Prince My mind keeps playing the scenes when Cheska cried, over and over again. I think that I’m going crazy – the shit inside me fucking hurts. It’s so much better to take a full physical blow than to feel something like this. It’s been torturing me for the past two weeks, but right now, it feels ten times worse when I’m not blinded by Drake’s and Gia’s betrayal anymore. Do you think that it didn’t hurt me when I had to ignore you, Cheska? Do you think that it didn’t fucking hurt when I just turned the other way while you hugged me to sleep from behind? I couldn’t even look at your face. My mind was filled with their betrayal, and one look at you would mess it up in an instant. Do you think that I didn’t miss your delicate touch, your warmth and your love for me? That night in the club, I was so lost because I missed you so fucking much -why the hell did Henry call you if it hadn’t been for me? I didn’t even realize it when another girl sat on my lap, and my stupid drunken brain ev

Cheska Andrew towers over me, leaning closer to me on the bed. My heart rate kicks up a notch as fear clenches like a tight fist around my chest. The fact that I’m only covered in my thin underwear makes me shudder even more. Is he going to rape me? A smile touches his lips. “Don’t worry, Cheska,” he whispers. “I’m not going to do the same mistake that I did when I pulled you inside the alley. I want you to feel the same pleasure. I want us to make love. I want you to beg for me.” His words make me nauseated. There is no way that I’m going to willingly give my body to him. “ And now, we have plenty of time, since you’re going to be stuck with me forever.” His face draws closer, and I look away, feeling his breath against my ear. “ But for the meantime, let me have a taste of your skin . J-just a little bit, “he stutters. His sentence sends chills through my body. When he plasters soft kisses on my neck, I struggle to break away. “No! Get off me!” I scream. To my horror, he grabs

MARRYING A RUTHLESS MAN Epilogue
Cheska The thought of Drake purchasing a gun still bothered my mind the entire night, but I decide not to question him again about that. I keep wondering why he suddenly decides to carry it now. We've been living in California for two weeks, and so far, everything is fine. This morning, he leaves for work, as usual. While I'm about to finish blow-drying my hair inside my bathroom, I hear footstep sounds from downstairs. That makes my heart thump hard against my chest. Ever since the incident of Andrew breaking into our house in England, the smallest sound and the slightest movement can make me become a paranoid again. I'm sure that Jake has locked the door, so if it weren't him, who else would enter this house? Slowly, I step out of my room and head downstairs, almost tiptoeing so that I won't make too much sound. My pulse quickens as I finally reach the ground level. When I see the person entering the living room, I yelp in surprise. My eyes widen as I see Prince standing before m

Prince I open my eyes, only to find an unfamiliar ceiling. My vision is still quite blurry, but then, it becomes better. My head pulses with pain, but it’s so much better than what I felt before. Abruptly, I sit up and find that I’m sitting on a bed that’s not mine. What the hell has happened to me? I snap my head around and find Jake standing in the doorway, leaning against the door frame. “Shit,” I involuntary curse. “You passed out,” he says, as if it can’t be any clearer. “When I still saw you again this morning, I thought you were crazy. You looked like shit.” “How could--” “Cheska,” Jake answers before I can finish my question. “You’re lucky. She found you, brought you inside and treated you.” I freeze for a while before a sigh leaves my mouth. So, it’s not a dream. It’s really her. I thought that I was hallucinating. Damn. I even thought that I’d died and entered heaven. Cheska stayed here, by my side. She saved me. I suddenly feel so stupid for not waking up at that ti
MARRYING A RUTHLESS MAN 66
Cheska The moment I close the door behind me, my sobs finally break. I’ve never thought that I would say those words to him, but I had to. We can’t be together anymore. I’ve promised myself that I’m going to forget everything about my painful past, about him. I need to be strong, and I can only be so without him. I’ve planned my future, and he won’t be in the picture. Our future doesn’t work together. Mine will destroy his. Drake leans back against the wall, his arms crossed on his chest, his eyes closed. He has heard everything as well. When he turns to me and walks closer to hug me, I bury my face in his chest and cry my eyes out, hugging him back. I can’t bear the pain anymore. Hurting Prince breaks my own heart, worse than when he broke mine. He came all the way here for me. He waited for days, standing on the street outside. He still waited for me even when the rain had been pouring hard on him. He was crying when he said that he loved me. But then, I just crushed him with m
MARRYING A RUTHLESS MAN 65
Prince It’s been three days since I arrived in California, and the first thing I do once I get up this morning is to visit Drake’s house again. I look up to the same window, only to find that the curtain is still shut. Drake steps out of the house to go to work again, but this time when he looks at me, he just sighs, shaking his head in disbelief. He gets into his car and drives. Clenching my fist on my sides, I call her again, “Cheska!” But still, there’s no response. I find myself standing alone on the street again, but my yearning to see her doesn’t change. In fact, it becomes even stronger. I will wait, Cheska. I will. I will still be here. The afternoon passes by, and now, the sky has become dark. Earlier, I was away just to grab some lunch, and now, I’m still standing in the same spot, in front of this house. I turn my head when I notice Drake’s car pulling in. And the first thing he does after he comes back from work is scrutinizing me. He shakes his head again before wal

Cheska As soon as Drake comes back from work, he visits my room. I sigh, closing my laptop. Drake leans back against my door frame, still in his office attire. “ Are you sure, Ches?” he asks me the question once again. I nod. This past week, I've been spending time with my laptop to figure out what I'm going to do with my life. And finally, I've found a light, filled with hope for my future. A way to achieve my dreams. "You know, I never thought that something like this would ever happen, but-" he falters, and I give him a hopeful look. A soft smile touches his lips. "As long as it makes you happy, I'm fine with it." Relief washes over me. I thought that he would be reluctant to accept my idea at first, butI always know that he's going to be supportive, as long as it's the best for me. I stand up from the chair, approach him and hug him, making him sigh. "Thank you, Drake. I always know that you're gonna be on my side." When we pull away, I do see the sadness in his eyes. Regrets
MARRYING A RUTHLESS MAN 63
Cheska Later in the afternoon, Fiona and I finally finish settling all my belongings in place. It's time for her to get back to her apartment, and I can sense that Jake's mood darkens once he knows that she's going to leave soon. Too bad for him, Fiona doesn't seem to consider another option. There's this mystery about Fiona that makes me understand why Jake is drawn to her. It's like she's doing this push-and-pull thing with my brother, which rarely happens because girls usually fall hard and fast when it comes to him. There's definitely so much more than meets the eye between them. When he sends her off at the front door, Drake says, "Thanks, Fiona. Couldn't have done it without your help." "No problem, Drake." Fiona smiles, and haven't I told you before how breathtaking her smile is? It's the kind of smile that belongs to the supermodel Barbara Palvin. So pretty. "Bye, Cheska." She waves her hand at me, and I wave back. Drake looks like he wants to give her a goodbye kiss, but
MARRYING A RUTHLESS MAN 62
Cheska Today is my second day in California. It’s early morning, and I’m setting up my new cellphone when Drake emerges in my doorway. He’s talking to someone on the phone before handing it to me, making me wonder who it is. “ It’s your friend Kate,” he says. “ She got my number from Prince.” The mentioning of such name still makes my heart drop. I sigh and take the phone from Drake. “Hello?” Kate’s cries fill my ear as soon as I speak, and she goes frantic. “Oh my God, Ches. Are you okay? How are you doing over there?” A soft smile tugs at my lips. I miss her. It feels like ages since the last time I heard from her. This girl is worrying about me like I’m dying. “I’m okay. Don’t worry.” “God, I never thought that – “ she stops talking and starts sobbing. “If only I’d figured it out earlier.” She’s speaking about Andrew. There’s a guilt in her voice, and I want to tell her that none of this is her fault. Before, neither of us realized that Andrew was such a psychopath. We thoug
MARRYING A RUTHLESS MAN 61
Cheska The ride to California has been tremendously long. Of course, we move halfway across the country. But finally, we’re here. Drake pulls in when we reach his place. I get out of the car and look up at the house standing before me, the ray of morning sun upon me eyes making me wince as I block it with my hand. So, this is the house that Jake has rent for him to live in California. It’s a mid-sized traditional brick grey townhouse with a gable roof, and it has two storeys. It looks really nice. Drake steps up toward the entrance door and opens it for me. “Welcome to my house.” He smirks. I gape as I step inside. The interior looks more contemporary compared to the exterior. The house is filled with neutral colors and clean design lines, but there are some bold accent colors on some pieces of furniture. It looks super comfortable, and my body absolutely gives in after long hours of journey. I feel like I can just sink into one of the couches and sleep there. “Good to know that

Prince Andrew ends up in the hospital. And I end up spending the night at the police station. That bastard is fucking lucky that I didn’t kill him, because before I could do so, three policemen came to stop me. I remember roaring like a mad person when they pulled me away from Andrew, who was already bleeding to death when the emergency response team from the hospital took him with the stretcher. My hands shaking, I look down and bury my face in them. What the hell am I doing here? I shouldn’t be here right now. I should be with her. Cheska. Cheska. Cheska. She’s the only thing in my mind now. I can’t imagine what she’s feeling at the moment. She must be scared, not knowing that to do. She must be broken. Hopeless. Alone. To settle the matters with the police, I’ve called my lawyer, whom I know from a friend I worked with for one of the influential companies I did my project with. He’s good, so I expect that the police can give me some dispensation once they find out that Andrew
