LOGINHe looked familiar but still I could not put a pin on where I had seen this stranger in the past.
His full red lips pulsed in a way that looked like he was smirking, but the pinching, and slight crease in his brows said otherwise—he wasn’t smirking—not at all. Rather he was studying me, the same exact way a beast would do before he pounced on his prey. My gaze moved down to his thick, muscular body clad in a white long sleeve shirt which he rolled down to his elbows sexily. The sight sent a zing through my core making me cursed at the pleasure I felt. I definitely could not have hots for this man. He might be a kidnapper for all I care. His jet black hair, still laid sleek behind. He looked like he just walked out of an office meeting, but the aura he carried, made him stand out from every other man I’ve ever met. A shiver slid down my spine as my core tightened. He was the kind of man women dreamt about in wet dreams only. “You passed out,” he muttered. His lips pressed in a hard line, while his gaze stared intently on my face. My brows creased in confusion, and as if I just opened a damp. Memories of everything that happened yesterday, along with Xavier cheating on me, and then him— I stumbled back. “You hit me with your car. You almost killed me!” I hissed in anger, a shudder passing through me as I remembered everything. His gaze hardened at my words as he spoke. “My car barely touched you. You passed out from the floor from drunkenness. You were never hit by my car. I’ve had my doctor come in here and check you while you were unconscious. And he said, everything is fine,” he said. His voice was deep and dark. Having an undertone that sent a spicy kind of feeling through me. This man was turning my mind into a slut, just by thinking of the things his voice elicited through me. My memory flashed back to last night. He told no lies. I never felt the impact of his car hitting me. Rather, I passed out because I was dizzy from the numerous drinks I had. Now I felt immensely foolish. He looked at me once more. His beautiful orbs studied me like he had never seen a face like mine. But the expression bleeding in his gaze was unreadable. “Have a nice rest. My driver would take you to your home tomorrow," he nodded, turning to walk out, but my next words halted his steps. “Wait,” I called out. I moved towards where he stood outside the bathroom door by now. Luckily, the light from there was enough to see although the darkness of the room was undeniable. I swallowed, knowing I was making an impulsive decision, but I had no other choice. I had gone to the club with one purpose. Find a man, good enough to take what Xavier never deserved. My virginity. I wanted it gone. But then, I went ahead and drowned my sorrows in alcohol. I doubt I’ll ever get an opportunity like this again, and this man. He was everything a man like Xavier would envy. And that was exactly what I needed. “Let’s have sex,” the words slipped from my lips before I could fathom what I said. My hands moved to clasp around my mouth. My eyes wide with shock, as I stared at him, just realizing the words I said. His gaze flared in disbelief, probably never expecting a vulgar word like that from my lips. “What did you just say?” He questioned, and I watched as amusement danced in his eyes. An expression other than the blank face that seemed to be permanently etched on his face. I felt like crying in shame as tears burnt at the back of my eyes knowing I just made a big fool of myself. Biting into the soft flesh of my lips, I tightened my fist together, gathering all the courage I could muster. My hands slipped to the strap of the night gown. Taking my precious time, I watched as his gaze followed my actions. Dragging the strap along the flesh of my skin, I slid it down. The small rope dangled languidly at my side, leaving a large portion of my boobs on show. I gulped, knowing my actions were extreme and I had never done something like this before. But still, I was not ready to lose the attention of a man like him. Moving to the other strap, I did the same thing, watching as his eyes trailed every motion my fingers made. The gown fell down to my waist, and I shifted slightly, watching as it fell at the pool beneath my legs. The cool air from the window fanned my body, and I struggled not to shiver under his gaze. “What are you doing?” He rasped, looking away. He clenched his jaws hard, as he stared at the open window. His voice— thicker, huskier and darker than usual. He sounded as if he was straining himself. The darkness of the room cast on his shadow, while the bright light from the bathroom shone on my naked body. My perky breast stood in attention, and it took everything in me not to wrap my hands around myself, running away like a coward. I knew I was probably going to regret my decision later. But as for now. The image of Xavier and Natasha still stained my soul. I could still see them before my eyes almost like they were before me. And I refuse to let a man as unfaithful as Xavier hold me back. “You had already seen me naked earlier when you changed me, so why are you looking away now?” I asked, trying to be seductive. But his next words made me freeze. “I did not change you. I would never take advantage of a woman in a state like yours. I had a female staff do it, while I ordered the dress for you,” he spat through gritted teeth. “So what exactly are you trying to do?” He questioned harshly. I watched as his jaws ticked hardly, while his fists beside himself tightened. Almost as if it was taking every will in him to control himself. I felt immensely foolish and ashamed at my abrupt and obtuse actions. Maybe this was it, the punishment I deserved for being foolishly blind to Xavier's ploy along—or the revenge I needed. I didn’t care which—because I was so ready to take them all. “I think you already know clearly what exactly I want sir. Let’s spend the night together.”ETHAN’S POVMy eyes were fixed sternly on the press conference playing on the screen before me.I could hear the way my blood was soaring in my veins.‘Or just an honest and innocent man who was raped helplessly all because of the Blackwood’s family’s greed?”‘Innocent man?’ I scoffed, my eyes igniting with fury.Garet William was anything but innocent.He was a pervert, a big cheat who hid all his atrocities from his wife.I had gathered all the evidence I needed against him.The file I kept at home had enough evidence to blackmail him into signing a contract with the Blackwood Industries. Some might say my methods were cruel and wrong, but it was business.Everything was going well, and I would have secured the contact anda aa still remained on top.But that bitch Jennifer had to ruin everything.She destroyed everything.She ruined every single thing the Blackwood’s Industries has ever worked for.I don’t damn care who she slept with as long as it was not me.But, she went ahead a
“Oh my, are you saying the young madam of the Blackwoods family raped you?” One of the reporters exclaimed.William cast his head down, pain filtering through his expression as he sniffed.Putting on an image of not being able to bear the thought of it.And then, slowly, he raised it back up.His eyes glistened with tears as he stared straight at the camera before him.“I have no idea and no recollection of what happened last night.All I ask is for my wife to believe everything I say.I know you can hear me clearly Harriet.I just want you to know that I love you for eternity, and I’ll never cheat on you.Not even in death,” he whispered, and I could see the way faces in the crowd melted at his speech.“And as for you Jennifer Blackwood.For causing me and my beautiful wife through this much pain, I curse you dearly.And I’m eternally happy that the Blackwood's secret got exposed today,” he finished, tears trailing down his cheeks by now.“Mr William, one last question,” a reporter s
“Mr William, I have a way to get you out of this mess,” I typed the moment the video showed two ticks on his chat.“Who are you?How did you get this?" His reply came immediately and I smiled, but wrote nothing back.And just like I predicted, my phone rang immediately as his call came through.My lips curled seeing his number flash on my screen, and I swiped it, answering his call.“I was expecting your call,” I muttered through the line.My voice sounded deeper because of the voice changer I had attached to the line.“Y…you, how did you get that video?Are you doing this for money?Answer me!” he growled violently on the line.It was unfortunate that I had to rope him into my plans.But then, this man was a pervert, so I had no regrets.“Ahh…ah, calm down Mr William.We don’t want to shoot your blood pressure up do we?” I laughed, loving being anonymous.Loving the fact that I called the shots, playing them all like chess pieces, as they complied to my will. “I believe you are sti
JENNIFER’S POVMy lips parted, and I wanted to retort back, but I had nothing to say.How could I, when my entire brain was blank.“No…no…, you got it wrong.Nothing like that happened.What are you even saying?” I stuttered, my eyes wide with shock.What exactly was happening?If news of this gets out—this will only give Ethan more reason to hate me more than he already did.And I doubt using Kayla to blackmail him can keep him with me any longer.Her eyes sharpened as she pushed forward, her gaze shifting away from me, and towards the man still lying in bed, quiet and frozen in shock from all that was happening.“It’s astounding how many more lies you would tell, young madam?” She hissed in irritation.As she raised her hands, pointing directly at the man.“This man right here, is Mr William.And the entire world knows that your husband is fighting to secure a contract with his company.Is that why he sent you here today?To seduce and sleep with the poor man, selling your body to h
JENNIFER’S POV“I…I swear, I don’t know who you are talking about.I…”“You are still lying to me?” I shouted, my hands curling tighter around his jaws.I could see the way he shivered—the fear in his eyes palpable as the smell of urine filled the air.My nose scrunched and I removed my hands from his skin immediately, pushing him away in disgust.My hands moved up, tightening the blanket around my body, as anger coursed through my veins.“You disgusting thing.I’ll give you one last chance.Tell me who the wisher is or I’ll hit this send button right now, and this video will go straight to your lovely wife.”He shook his head, more tears trailing down his face as he begged. “Please, just delete that video.I swear I don't know any wisher.I have no idea what you are talking about.I was high last night and I just wanted to fuck you, so I said yes to everything you said.Please, delete the video.”His words only made my anger violent.For some reason, I paused. My phone raised up wi
JENNIFER’S POV“What?” I gasped, my eyes wide as I stared at the man before me.“No…no, I’m a…”“Tsk!” He scoffed, cutting me off as his irritated eyes remained on me.“We are adults here not children, stop pretending like you are some virgin.If you are not ready to know about the wisher guy, then get out of my room,” he hissed, the veins on his thick forehead throbbing as he pointed his fingers at me.“I have already wasted too much time on you already,” he growled.He moved towards where he discarded his shirt picking it up.My eyes watched him, my heart racing against my chest.If he leaves this room right now, everything would be a waste.This might be my only chance to find out whoever the bastard that is blackmailing me.I gulped, taking in a deep breath as I stood up.“Wait!” I shouted, watching as he paused, his hard and irritated eyes moving to me.I bit my lips sexily, my hands moving to unzip the gown I wore.“You should really learn to calm down, sometimes handsome.I nev
