VICTOR.... Fuck! She tastes so fucking good, I growled within. I've missed her so much these days. I kiss her sweet mouth deeply, sucking on her bottom lip. I let go before looking at her. She stares at me with a gasp, her lips slightly ajar, looking so damn innocent with her sparkling hazel eyes. I smirk, pulling her closer to my body and joining our foreheads together. "Let's not resist each other anymore, little bird, and give this marriage a chance... beyond the contract. Will you?" I ask, my heart tightening with nervousness. What if she denies me? I'm not sure what I'll do next. For the first time in my life, I'm moving forward uncertain and with no backup plan. Her hazel eyes open wide, her parted lips quivering, which slowly curve into a smile. "Y-you want th-at with mm-me?" she asks, breathless. "Yes, Bellatrix. I want you in my life, not for a year only but for the rest of my life. I want this marriage to work and never let you go." I said, if she wanted assurance, I’d
BELLATRIX.... "Do you want it, Bellatrix?" His deep voice made me look into his eyes. The green shade had turned slightly darker with emotion. Tonight turns out to be blissful, in the arms of my lover. Now, here we are again; do I want it? "Yes!" I say breathlessly. If not tonight, I don't know when, and I'm so ready for it. He smiles, slowly kissing my cheeks. He licks the side of my ear. "I'll eat you tonight, little bird," he whispers, quickening my heartbeat. Slowly, he starts kissing me down. His wet and hot kisses tingle every inch of my body, making me hotter with each second. I moan beneath him, tugging on his hair in pleasure. He stops at my breasts and slowly licks the nipple without warning, as his one hand trails down my thighs and settles between my legs. "Aah!" My body jerked up, and a wilful scream broke from my lips when he curled his finger and hit a certain spot within me. "Victor..." I moan his name. "Yes, baby. Scream my name. Let everyone know who you b
BELLATRIX.... The next morning, I woke up, stretching my arms. With bright light kissing my face, I smiled; even the air felt in love today. Slowly, I turned to the other side, only to realize my husband wasn't beside me. The rush of disappointment was faster than I had decided. "Did he just leave me alone after last night? What an arsehole!" I murmured. "Morning with a scolding? I surely am a married man now." Suddenly, a deep magenta voice rang in my ear, making me stiff. Immediately, my eyes snapped in his direction... There he was, near the window, under the bright daylight, sitting on the couch in his regular three-piece black suit. His right leg was on his left thigh, and his hand was holding a magazine. His aura was so majestic that it was somewhat impossible to believe in his ordinary lifestyle. He looked at me, his brow raising. I blinked; my cheeks started heating up, and I looked away in embarrassment. "Umm, I thought you left!" I tried to defend myself, only for him
BELLATRIX.... I turn to Victor; he is busy on his laptop, working. His brows are furrowed deeply, immersed in his own mind. Is it because he has to work harder now, after such a huge expense for this trip? My heart sinks for my husband. If I tell him about Neil's threat now, he’ll be angry, and perhaps it wouldn’t be for the best. I should not... "What's on your mind?" "Neil..." My hand flies to my mouth, my eyes widening as I look at him. I just blurted out something I shouldn't have! God! His fingers pause, and his green eyes snap at me. The softness in them is replaced with coldness. Suddenly, a dark aura envelops his expression, and I swallow hard. God, what have I done? "What about him?" His voice is icy, his words laced with disappointment. Oh God, is he thinking that I still have a soft spot for Neil? "No! I-it's not what you're thinking!" I blurt out. His brow raised with a questioning glance. "Then what is it, Bellatrix?" he asks, his tone hard; it seems he's trying
Mansion of Ryders, Neil Ryder's Study Room.... NEIL.... I smoked cigarettes one after another; I was embarrassed and angry. In the Mount Valkyro Villa, I went to finalize a deal with Valcro Corporation Ltd. It was their biggest project, and I perhaps had a chance to meet Chairman Abram. He was one of the mysterious men in the corporate industry; not many people had seen him. And I had a once-in-a-lifetime chance that night. But because of that bloody Victor, everything was fucked up! I clenched my fist, only to be burned by the cigarette. "Fuck!" I threw it away and kicked the desk. "It's all because of that fucking bastard!" I've been going through sleepless nights because of that bloody orphan! That night, I saw Bellatrix in the Villa. Though at first I was surprised, I was happy to see her. For the first time in my life, my heart throbbed; she was so beautiful that night. Our marriage was fixed in our childhood. Since I was eight years old, I had grown up learning that
BELLATRIX.... Life has turned out to be a blessing since we returned from our trip. For others, it's a trip to paradise, but for me, it was a love paradise. Our love evolved there, and we became each other's for the rest of our lives. Victor has turned out to be an even more outstanding husband and keeps spoiling me. The moment I chose to marry him turned out to be one of the very best decisions of my life... "Bellatrix!" I feel an earthquake in my body as I blink, looking around, only to find Logan and Amber's suspicious gazes on me. "What's wrong with you, girl?" Amber frowned. "You keep zoning out; is everything alright with you?" "I—yeah, I'm just fine," I said, and I didn't lie! I'm actually more than fine and keep thinking about my husband and our love. The taste of true happiness is new to me, and I'm eager to savor all of it. They both narrowed their eyes at me, not believing my words. Sigh... However, it feels good to have more than one caring friend! After our
BELLATRIX.... I couldn't work for the rest of the day; it was as if a bone was stuck in my throat. I couldn't muster the courage to explain to Victor either, nor am I sure why I'm feeling so guilty. It was just an accident, and Logan only helped me. But the disappointment in Victor's eyes... Ugh! What am I gonna do! I feel so frustrated! After office hours, I, with a throbbing heart, approached our usual spot where Victor was waiting for me to pick up. And there he is, in the expensive Maybach we had been using since the last day of our trip. I didn't ask him about it, though; I feel it's a gift from Grandpa. Or did he buy it? Just as I moved forward, I froze when a hand touched my shoulder. "Bella?" I paused, turning around. I gasped, "Logan! Wh-what are you doing here?" He raised a brow. "I thought I saw you entering the garage, so I followed. What are you doing here?" "Uh, I... um, I was doing nothing! I thought I’d seen a known figure; it turned out I was wrong," I said imm
BELLATRIX.... Victor dropped me in front of Stella's new apartment. He had an important meeting to attend in an hour, so he didn't accompany me and said he'd pick me up once I was done. Upon returning from abroad, she was finally permitted to live alone and decorated her apartment. I'm thrilled to see her new home! After completing the procedure to enter the apartment, I went through our texts where she had given me her apartment number. It was on the 13th floor. I took the elevator and reached the 13th floor. There were two more apartments, and her apartment number was 103-A. With a grin, I rang the doorbell... However, no response came. I rang the bell again, but there was no answer. I frowned and dialed her number. Suddenly, I heard a muffled ringtone of her phone ringing inside the apartment. For some strange reason, I felt my heart clenching tightly. Is she alright? Why is she not opening the door? Anxious, I knocked on the door only to gasp when it moved. Why is the door op
