VeraI grunted frustratedly, pulling my luggage down the stairs. Mother actually put her words into play, she had booked a honeymoon suite for Julius and I somewhere far away. All I needed to know was that we were going to get there through air and that alone sent shivers down my spine. I had never gone on a plane before and now I would remember why. An outstretched hand caught my attention and I looked up. My dark orbs melted into a pair of soft silver eyes, the tenderness in them almost had me faltering but I didn't buy it. I gazed down at his hand, gesturing for me to hand him my luggage. Ever since the incident in the kitchen I had seen more of Julius, well more than I liked. Maybe I was being a child, call me immature but I'd been avoiding him. When he'd walk into a room I'd walk out of it and that's how it had been for weeks now. I was angry and sad, sad because I could never forget what happened at that night's party. And angry because I actually expected Julius, my husband to
VeraWe strolled into the hotel, a chauffeur behind us carrying in our luggage. I stopped to admire how beautiful the hotel was. Mother had good taste. I felt my cheese go red at the romantic decorations that filled everywhere. Roses, balloons. Gosh. We walked to the receptionist and she gave us a key and assigned us a guide to take us to our suite."When you two are fully rested, we will send your food and he will be your guide to enlighten you tomorrow on the intimate activities we have for our couples" she beamed, looking between Julius and I. "Have a great night" I looked to see Julius staring at me, I diverted my gaze with flushed cheeks. Mother! The guide led us to our honeymoon suite. He unlocked the door and led us inside to see everywhere covered in roses and swans made out of towels. The bed was covered in roses and heart shaped pillows. Everywhere was dimly lit and it didn't help that we had arrived so late in the evening. I rushed to the bathroom immediately I spotted t
Vera I decided to explore our honeymoon suite. I walked around a bit and found a swimming pool.it was pollution outside with the best view the hotel had to offer I was busy admiring the way the sun rays back road against the blue duty of the pool when all of a sudden it's rose and Julius alighted from the pool his hair damn he's caused long to his head water droplets glistening all over his toned body making me go look at how gorgeous he looked.The way water droplets sparkled against his skin was the rays of the sun bouncing off the droplets made me mesmerized by how beautiful and gorgeous you looked before I could look away he had wiped of his face and was staring at my form.I actually shifted my waist from foot to foot then at everywhere but his glorious toned body. he just stared at me and I could tell that he was thinking about something but hadn't forced it out yet"Would you like to join me?" he asked, staring at me expectedly the childish innocence and excitement that his eye
I walked into the kitchen I stopped when I saw Julius sitted on one of the bar stools shirtless trying to treat his cuts and bruises.He had a cut at his cheek bone, bruises on his jaw and a cut on his lip.There was a deep cut at his upper arm that had dried blood at the opening.He looked up at me and continued his struggling to treat his wounds.I don't know why but I felt the need to go help him.Before I could double think I was already standing in front of him.He looked up at me as I gestured towards the cotton wool in his hand and he handed it to me adjusting to face me , giving me more access to his wounds.I took some antiseptic and started cleaning the blood around his cuts. He released a few grunts of pain so I started blowing little puffs of air each time I applied the antiseptic. He fell silent for a while and I looked up at him to see his fixated gaze at me.I kept my eyes trained on his wounds, ignoring the knot that formed in my chest from knowing he was staring at me
Vera's POVTo say I expected less from Julius would be like expecting a zebra to change his stripes.After our encounter he left me there. His words left a hole in my chest. It brought tears to my eyes every time I thought about it. I was now a prisoner and I don't think leaving was an option so I decided to accept my faith.Lexi had called and I told her everything."Why is he so obsessed with you not leaving the house?"She was just as confused as I was"I have no idea.And now I'm living like a prisoner""A rich prisoner with a drop dead gorgeous husband and two handsome hunks as friends.You have everything outside that home in it so why would you wanna go out?"I brought out the phone to check if it was Lexi I was actually talking to.When I was sure I held it back to my ear"Lexi!.You know I've always been the free type and this is so not what I'm used to.I feel like I'm suffocating"She was being such a Lexi"I can't talk to you right now.Bye"I put the phone down and sighe
Julius's POV"She just went inside boss"One of my men informed me from the other end of the phone"Okay.Just stay at your posts and keep me updated""Yes boss"I had installed security to keep a close eye on Vera.It's been easier ,seeing as she spends most of her time in the garden within my men's reach and eye range.Yes it may be creepy but I couldn't risk it.They may plan to ambush home while I'm at work ,although their attack will be futile. My house was built like a fortress but still, I couldn't take any risks.I couldn't risk her.I found it very difficult to do basically anything when I remembered I had kissed Vera last night under the influence.I wasn't heavily drunk,I remembered small pieces, but the kiss was the part I couldn't forget.I had no idea what she thought about me now.It would be so awkward now.I was stressing over it and not paying attention to work matters; why Cyrus decided to stay home yet again.He has been doing it alot lately and I'v been suspicious
Julius's POVI drove to the location Ludwick gave me.It was indeed the correct one.It was in a deserted part of the city.I drove close to the building and walked the rest of the way on foot as the path was too narrow for my car.I walked up to what I saw was a metal door filled with rust.There were two men standing at the doors.They looked at me and I raised a brow before they opened the door.I was led through the metal rooms and finally into a dark, open space.There was a table and chair situated at the extreme left of the room.There I saw who sat opposite.It was Ludwick"Oh Julius my good friend come in come in.Take a seat"I slid my hands into my pants pocket.I walked over and sat opposite him on a plastic chair.He was lucky the wood table seperated us or else I would have stabbed him by now.I kept a straight face as I stared at him"Don't be all cold with me now Julius "He smirked at me"Cut to the chase Ludwick.Where is she?""I get it your in a rush to see if your
Julius's POVI was keeping a very good eye on Cyrus and my suspicions were just being proved.He always left the office three hours earlier than he was actually meant to and went home.I had this feeling he was after Vera and it made me angry .I kept a close watch on the camera's in Vera's room.The motion censored cameras made sure I got the whole view of what she was doing.I watched her on my laptop in my office.She walked out of her bathroom in a towel as her wet hair clung to her face.She looked beautiful as she sat using her hair dryer to blow dry her hair.Her hair covered half of her face and it reminded me of the first time we met.I smiled as I watched her gracefully comb and tend to her soft hair as the memory of it's feel came back to me.She got up and started pulling off her towel and I started getting aroused so I shut the laptop as Aldonis walked in, looking at me weird."Why do you look like you were just caught doing something you were not supposed to?"He narrowed
