COLE"We got a lead." Ray announced, then slapped a file on the table before me. I sat up, then looked up from the file to him, slowly.He nodded, then after letting out a long sigh, he told me, "The private investigator that found it out just reported to me this morning. You can go through the report. He delivered it to me himself."I gave him a quick nod, then snatched the file off the table and started to flip through. It contained pictures of Aubrey.She was dressed in her designer clothes, but her hair looked like it was all over the place and she wore oversized slippers in most pictures.. in those photos, she was outside. Others, she was barefooted, and these ones were taken from a window in the house she was in.No matter how unkempt she looked, she still appeared gorgeous. She had lost a little weight, and I could not help my annoyance, just thinking of the fact that she was not being taken care of enough.I continued to go through the report until I reached a spot where I saw
AUBREYI was slowly losing my mind.Everyday, I witness a piece of me break. It only made me wonder how long it would take before I would shatter completely, before I would finally go numb.One day, I waited for Adam to leave for work, I wanted to go out in the streets, scope the area to see if I could survive out there."What would you be doing today?" Adam asked while I buttoned his shirt. I shrugged."The usual. Stay at home. I might read a few of the books you got me, but I think that would be it." I flashed him a smile which I hoped looked genuine enough to sway him, and he just nodded. "I told you, you can join me to work. I have a section there…""And again, it is a no, Adam." I cut him off, staring at him in disbelief. "How many times do I have to tell you my reason for saying no? Your boss liked me enough to throw me in jail because I refused his advances. What do you think he would do to me if I walk into that prison with my arm intertwined in yours?" Plus, that prison fuck
AUBREYMy head throbbed and my mouth stayed open even as I faded one side."Fuck, I did not mean to hit you so hard… I did not mean to hit you at all, but you fucking piss me off." He muttered, then gripped my arm and pulled me into the house.I was too stunned to pull away or fight him, so I just allowed myself to fall against his chest. I stayed there for a few seconds before pulling away in a flash, looking up at him with defeat in my eyes.All along, no matter what Adam did to me, I would convince myself that he would never lay his hands on me. I would tell myself that Adam would never hurt me. I stood before Adam, not even knowing how to react, bring so tired and hungry and… tired. So with one last, long look at him, I started to walk past him.He stopped me with an outstretched arm, "Come on! I'm so sorry, please forgive me. I was just so annoyed that you would just leave my house without any explanation! My parents came and you did not even meet them—""Did it ever cross your
COLEI felt it when her walls tightened around my cock and she came for the second time, but I was too angry, so I made sure to hold back from shooting my load inside her, and instead, continued to pound her pussy until her eyes filled with those tears she usually got when she was overwhelmed with pleasure.She kept pushing at my chest, staring deep into my eyes with her blue ones. Her eyes held a silent plea, but it was one which I did not care to acknowledge. Not anytime soon.I planned to take her until the fucking cop arrived, so he could watch me fuck her, watch me own her because she was rightfully mine. Rightfully fucking mine."Cole, please… please…" She begged as she came down from her third orgasm.I could not hold back any longer, so I chased my orgasm this time, increasing my pace with every thrust, until I cussed under my breath and spilled hot spurts of my cum into her, bot pulling away until every single drop was milked by her pussy."Oh fuck, Oh Cole.." She muttered, t
AUBREYI should have covered the scar with a foundation or something! I had something to cover up with in my bag but I decided to let him find out… now, he was going to kill Adam.I knew that Cole had plans for Adam, even if he had not even said anything out loud. And now that he had found out about this, I knew that this would be an avenue for him to do worse than he had already planned.Maybe even kill him like he had previously threatened. It was not like I liked Adam or anything, or I was trying to defend what he did to me, but Adam was not thoroughly a bad person.He had sheltered me, fed me and gave he a date which he would pay me. He hit me, I should not make excuses for that, but at the same time, it was not even that deep. I had forgiven him and moved past it, I hoped Cole could just do the same._________________"If Adam dies, I would not be able to forgive myself.I would forever blame myself for having a hand in his death and I do not want that on me, Cole. Please." I begg
AUBREY"I'm literally shaking, I can't believe it has been a month since I saw my baby. More than a month actually, I cannot wait to see my baby." I told Ray who sat beside me on the plane, and he smiled."Yeah, I'm sure she misses you as well." He said, and I just nodded. I did not want to think of how much my baby must have missed me, I had not told her I would be staying away from her this long. "And Denise? I know I should probably not be asking this, but what do you plan to do to her?" He asked the question in such a concerned manner that I sat up, and I asked him,"You seem to care about that. Is there an issue?" I had tried to keep my tone as cordial as I could, but I guessed I could not hide the anger.He waited a moment before turning to face me even better, then he said, "We… We have something going, and I know that it is very wrong to say that to you right now, considering what you must think of her by now, but I am begging you to take it easy on her. Please. We all make
COLEI did not actually go out like I had made Aubrey feel. I was actually just in my home office with Ray, and we were having a drink while discussing about everything that had just happened."So you mean that you know where that traitor is, and you are not going to let any of us know?" I asked, raising a brow.Ray shrugged, "I love her. You can punish me all you want, but I will not be disclosing her location."I scratched my stubble, "Hmm. And what if the penalty for her actions is death? I mean, she is a traitor, and you of all people know how much I despise traitors. What do you think would be the case, then?"His eyes widened, and he cleared his throat, looking at me with discomfort in his eyes, "Please. Please, just forgive her. She made a mistake, I would make sure to keep her in check so she does not make such a mistake again. Actually, I would make sure she does not cross you guys again."I simply watched my friend and assistant, trying to decipher how Ray had fallen in love
AUBREYAlmost a week had passed, and Cole fucked me every night, but it was the exact way he had promised to fuck me—hard and fast, without mercy.Sometimes when we were done, I tried to get him to wrap his arms around me… to hug me and make me feel less alone like I always felt when we finished. He never indulged me, always peeling my hands off him and moving away.It was like he fought to do it sometimes, but he still did. At a point, I stopped.There was a thin line between trying and forcing things. I desperately did not want to cross that line.He never liked to talk to me, so I started talking to Purity instead, and just making food for him and doing whatever else he wanted.Well, my birthday came up. I was not very happy about it, so I decided to just shut up about it. I did what I would usually do if it was a normal day, despite the chef asking me to leave it to him, as usual.This time, Cole hired a chef that was part of the mafia, bound by the Omertà law and subjective to hi

AUBREYFIVE YEARS LATER…"… over the years, Aubrey Frost has proven to be a force in marketing and business. From one store and a limited range of clothing, to one of the biggest clothing lines in America, scattered across the country, and from what I have heard, the company is set to make waves in other countries as well, anytime soon. Aubrey Frost makes billions of dollars in months, and that is asides what her husband makes from his endless chain of hotels. That family is indeed, one of the most successful, if not the most successful in New York City…" Cole nudged me, taking my attention away from the presenter who had an award to present to me. I sluggishly turned to him, wearing a huge smile of accomplishment on my face. He was grinning as well."Damn, I'm sitting next to a billionaire. Nice to meet you." He joked, outstretching his hand for a handshake. I took his hand and with all seriousness on my face, I said,"Good to meet you too. You are strikingly handsome, I must say. C
AUBREYIt was our wedding.This day was a miracle. Our miracle. I thought back to the incident at the house where I had thought for sure that I had lost Cole for good. I thought it was the end, and that my life was supposed to be that way… miserable and full of disappointments every step of the way.How then did a human who was practically submerged in so much fire escaped with only minor injuries and a breathing problem which only lasted days before it cleared up?How was I walking down the aisle now with Cole's father, who also doubled as my dad—I tried not to ponder much on that, by the way—I was walking down, ready to be handed over to Cole Frost as his wife.Yes, Luke had come to apologize, Elsa too. They had asked for forgiveness and wanted to be a part of our wedding. Cole had not wanted to forgive them, he sent them away from his office so they came to the house and begged me themselves, and I forgave them. I could not help but cry with Elsa as she cried, and I felt it when sh
COLEThe first video began to play on the screen and Dante loosened his tie, watching me all through.Laila tried to talk over the video and convince everyone that they should not be watching it, but everyone had all their attention on what was on the screen already."Oh hell, I hope that isn't who I think it is…" Ferdinand whispered, but it was still very much audible and made Dante's turn in the clip even more dramatic.As soon as he turned and his face was visible, there was collective gasps in the room, even more louder when he slammed the iron against our ex boss's head. Ricardo fell to the ground, lifeless, dead on the spot."What just happened?" It was one of the many murmurs that filled the room. Dante sat there, looking every inch of the Boss he was, even with the threat to his life playing on the screen."Ricardo was being difficult. He was an even bigger thief than I ever would be. I did you all a favour—""One which no one asked for." I reminded him, then instructed Ray to
COLE"Ready?" Ray asked me over the phone, and whilst grinning, I responded,"Ready. Today we take over the syndicate." I announced. He agreed to that, and we were still talking about some things that we would like to put in place when I heard a knock on the door. I ended the call and waited for the person to come in.Aubrey materialized at the entrance, softly closing the door as she entered into my home office. It was dark in here.. not exactly pitch black, but it was pretty dim.I could see her though. I could always see her. Well damn, now I was becoming emotional for no reason."Can I turn on the light, Sir? I want to talk to you." She pleaded. "You do not need to see me to talk to me. Say what you need to say, and leave." I told her, wheeling my chair towards her now."Oh… I, uh.. I woke up with the worst hangover, but… I recalled something… you were standing and uh… you kissed me. I don't think I was dreaming about the kiss because my lips are still sore!" She said all that at
COLELaila asked me to fire Aubrey. Of course, my first instinct was to say no. I had the word on the very tip of my tongue, but I decided to try to be patient. After all, by tomorrow, I would be executing my plan and I would finally get rid of her. I told her I would get rid of Aubrey in two days, as I did not have the time for drama at the moment."I need to prepare my child for the absence of her mother." I told her."Why can't the child go with her mother?" Laila asked in an impatient manner. "Because I want her with me. No child of mine would grow up outside of my territory." I gave her my best line, and it only took a short pause from the other end before she agreed and began to talk about how much pain she was in from the whole beating she received, and I had to beg her to not tell Dante about it first, as I would handle it in two days."Okay, babe. See you when you get back." She told me and I only hummed into the phone before ending the call.I decided to go home earlier to
AUBREY"Mommy, Auntie D said she would be visiting tomorrow." Purity announced with glee but I just frowned."What?" "She said you should call her." She handed the phone over to me, and I dialed Denise's number."You know this is very wrong timing, right?" I asked as soon as she picked up, just to be sure she had heard me when I explained that Cole never let any help bring in visitors if he did not permit it."Ray said you just need to ask him. Take permission and he would let you. I miss you guys so much and I want to come visit, is that too much to ask?" She sounded like she was dying and we were her ticket to another chance at life. The dramatic bitch.The thing was; I did not trust Denise. I did not trust Denise at all. I knew that aside from coming to see us, she had another reason why she was coming here… probably to cause a scene or two. But when I looked at my daughter, I saw the way she was really elated, and so I sighed,"I'll try to ask Cole. But please do not make a move
COLE"Do I always have to repeat the fact that you should watch your tone whenever you want to speak about my wife-to-be?" I asked after a while of being stunned by her revelation.Knowing my woman, she would not just make this accusation out of nowhere. No, she was not like Laila who would make up anything out of spite; it was the reason I was so interested in what she had to say.She rolled her eyes, and I pretended not to see that, just to let her talk, "I… Look, there's a recording, so I do not have to go on and on explaining myself." She pushed her phone into my hand and crossed her arms around her chest, which only caused her breasts to strain against her tank top with the action.She noticed I was looking, but even as her cheeks reddened, she did not drop her arms. Hell, it even looked like her eyes were daring me to do something about her stubbornness.It took a while, but I was finally able to tear my eyes off her and focus on the phone which I was given. The fucking tension
AUBREY"It's yours." Was Cole's cool response, and I almost fainted from the amount of rage that surged through my body at once.Laila had a different reaction to the news, though. She threw herself on Cole for the umpteenth time since she walked through those doors. Her excitement and the way she was rubbing it in by yelling her 'thanks' in his face were enough to make me snap."What the fuck do you mean…" I trailed off, realizing that I was only going to make it worse with that tone, so I amended instead, "You cannot give her the store, with all due respect, Sir."He tilted his head to the side in the usual way he did when he was trying to understand something."And why is that?" He questioned. I responded at once,"What do you mean why is that? I mean, you might have given me the place, but I have worked so hard to get it to where it is today, there is no way I am letting a complete stranger to take over what I have worked so hard to build. How can you even do this?""I do not care
