I opened my eyes and blinked to let my eyes adjust to the light coming from the window, I turned around and saw the bed empty, I sat up and looked around to see the room empty as well. I sighed and got up from the bed. Whatever happened last night rushed to my brain and I was so confused about the things I did yesterday. It made me upset with myself, I shouldn’t have done that! I had never been so close to any man let alone share the bed with them.I was ashamed of myself for doing that.I walked back to my room and took a long cold shower, I tried to forget everything I did and decided to stay away from him as much as possible.Do not touch him. I said it over and over to let myself not forget it. I dressed up and took my handbag with me while walking out of the room. I strode downstairs and reached the dining table. I sat down on the chair and saw I was the only one sitting there, the place Apollo always sat was empty.Maybe he left early. I thought and took my plate, the butler wal
LYDIA’S POV:-After what doctor has said about the condition of Mathew, I released the breath I was holding all this time, it was horrible to see him like that. Thank god he’s fine and nothing’s danger. I was walking towards the exit as I got a call from the office, I just forgot to inform Mr. Jackson, the head of the leading business magazine of New York, about Mr. Mathew. He had the meeting with Mathew today but this happened. I must go and apologise to him before he does something, he can be a very impatient man.As I was walking towards the exit, I stopped dead in tracks when I saw Simon walking inside with a serious expression on his face. I gulped hard as I noticed his eyes move around and finally landed on me.I blinked in confusion and tried to swallow the lump formed in my throat, I walked towards him with calculative steps and stopped with a good distance between us.“What are you doing here?” I asked, I was tense and scared but I didn’t let it show on my face as I knew he w
PRESENT“Simon, Please,” I yelled but he chose to ignore and dragged me out of the hospital. I didn’t expect him to come here, I thought he would be coming in the evening and I decided to talk to him and convince him somehow but he surprised me. I could understand his urgency but I would never ever go with him, I hate him, I hate him from the bottom of my heart. I would never do the same mistake twice, I trusted him once and in return, all I got was heart break and pain, I will not do that again.He dragged me towards his car and opened the door, “Get in!” he said releasing my hand, I glanced at the seat and looked back at him, “Simon! Please listen to me,” I said with my pleading eyes,Please listen, goddamn it… I must convince him anyway, I have too… think of something Lydia! Think! Think.... yes! I will tell him and make him believe that I will come with him and ask him to wait for me in my house… of course, I won’t go back home, I will stay in a hotel for this night and think of s
CLARISSA’S POV:- “Mother?” I whispered,Romulus’s mother is here, that means he was talking about Apollo? I had so many questions running in my mind, why would Apollo be far from his own mother? Why did she call Romulus instead of Apollo? If she wanted them to visit, she should have called both, but she just called Romulus and asked to bring Apollo with him, that only meant Apollo is not in talking terms with his mother.But why? This family is way more mysterious than I thought!As I was lost in thoughts, I had heard footsteps coming towards me, I was about to turn, “Clarissa?” Romulus called,Shit!I slowly turned around, “Romulus!” I said, looking at him nervously, “I’m so sorry I overheard your conversation!” I said without making eyes contact with him.“It’s okay,” he replied, I looked up at him and saw him struggling to say something!“Romulus!” I said,“Huh!” he replied, looking at me.“Is everything alright?” I asked,“Yes, I actually need a favor from you!” he said looking a
Clarissa POV:-We both walked inside, Romulus closed the door and walked behind me, my heart was beating hard and nervousness was making my legs shiver. While I was walking in the living room, I found Apollo sitting on the sofa with his right leg over his left and was checking his phone.I looked back at Romulus and walked towards Apollo nervously, “Apollo!” I called him, he looked up at me and smiled when he saw me, he kept his phone on the couch and pulled me towards him and I landed on his lap. He pushed the strands of my hair to my ear with his long fingers which made me blush, “You wanted to talk?” he said looking at me like I was a delicate doll.I glanced at Romulus and looked back at him, “Ma…Mathew had been in hospital today…” I could see Apollo staring at me calmly while I began talking, it made me more anxious, “… and Do-doctor said he needs rest… and…also said…he needs to be surrounded by his… his family… for him… to… to recover faster…” I said, he placed his hand under my
Clarissa’s POV:- “Dominant?” I whispered, staring into his eyes while many thoughts ran in my head, is he going to make me his submissive? Was the first question rushed to my mind. I know about this relationship but it never took my interest, I know nothing about this, I just know that a dominant wants his woman to be submissive to him. He wants her to submit herself to him, and that’s it, I only know that much and nothing more. “Are you? Cyrus?” I asked with my heart beating louder than ever, I was scared of the answer, I don't know what I should do if he’s Cyrus. “No, Apollo” He replied, I released the breath I was holding all this time, Thank god! Thank god he’s not Cyrus… but when I realised what had just happened made me snap my eyes at him. Did I just make his personality switch, I made Cyrus go away! I was so happy that I began smiling like a teenage girl, Apollo was just staring at me in confusion, of course, he would be, because he just said that he’s into BDSM and I’m he
CLARISSA’S POV:-He moved aside and lay beside me, we both were breathing hard and staring at the ceiling, I never in my life thought sex could be this awesome, I heard about it from my friends but never experienced it myself and now, I understood what it is. I turned my head and glanced at him, his chest was rising up and down, I watched him bite his lower lip while he turned his head and looked at me.He smiled while pushing a strand of my hair back, I stared at his beautiful eyes and I don’t know what happened to me, I could not explain this desire that filled me when I saw his inviting lips and body. Nothing could explain this feeling between my legs and the desire of my naked body when I feel his heat beside me. I know if I let my body dance in this sinful play with him, there’s no going back.He took my face in his hands and claimed my lips, kissing me slowly and passionately, the desire to have him deep inside me woke up and I found myself climbing on him, kissing him like a ho
Clarissa’s Pov:- Submissive? He slammed his dick hard into my pussy making me moan and distracting me, the pressure began building up. My face was pressed against the pillow while I cried out as I released, he fucked me hard while I felt his body growing hard and he was on the edge. “Oh!” I moaned as he reached my breast and squeezed it hard,“Ah!” he grunted while he spilled his seeds inside my pussy. We were breathing hard while we stayed the way we were for a few minutes, he slowly pulled his dick out and grabbed my waist and flipped me over. He claimed my lips, kissing me and taking my breath away. He was on top of me, pressing hands on either side of my face, he bit my lower lip and pulled it, “Oh!” I moaned, placing my hands around his neck and pulling him closer. He released my lip and looked into my eyes, without breaking the eye contact with me he settled beside me. I moved towards him and placed my head on his chest, his breathing was calm and steady, I could hear his h
While I closed my eyes, everything Romulus said rushed to my mind, Rage filled my body when I recalled what Juliette did to Apollo, I have to confront her for it. She has no right to do those things to him and how dare she say those nasty words to my Apollo! By just looking at him, women wet their panties and they do everything to have him. He has every single thing that any woman craves for. I felt him kiss my shoulder and push my hair back, “Please stop crying, Clarissa!” he added, I drew back and glanced at him. He wiped my tears and picked up my hands in his while dragging them to his lips and kissing my knuckles. Our perfect moment was ruined by a Romulus, we heard him clear his throat and looked at him. He was clearly trying not to smile. I blushed and looked away, “Brother!” he said while strolling to Apollo. “You had to ruin it!” he said while glancing at him, Romulus chuckled “How are you feeling?” he asked with concern evident in his voice. “I’m okay!” he responded flatly
Clarissa POV:- I have to ask Romulus about it right away, I thought and turned to Romulus who was strolling back to me after leaving Benjamin outside. “What happened to him at 7?” I asked and I noticed his shoulders sank and he held a weak sigh. “My grandmother… After losing my grandfather, she has changed, my mother didn’t know the condition my grandmother was in and let her take Apollo to her home… Grandma used to beat him a lot when he did things wrong and abused him… he was so scared of her that he never said any of us about it and tolerated her for years… Cyrus had come to the light to make my grandmother stop beating and he even defended Apollo and told everything she did to my mother… After seeing what my grandmother is doing to Apollo with her own eyes, my mother stopped sending him to her… Cyrus hated my mom for sending Apollo to my grandmother but what he doesn’t know is… that my mother... didn’t want my brother to witness what my father was doing to my mom… she wanted to
Tears were rolling down my eyes as I glanced at him, I had to save him and help him… I can’t see him like this! “Hello,” Romulus answered, “Rom-Romulus,” I cried while holding the phone, “Clarissa?” He replied with concern in his voice. “Apo-Apollo,” I tried to make words but I was sobbing, “What happened, Clarissa, What happened to my brother? Please stop crying and tell me…” he yelled with evident panic in his voice. “He-He fell unconscious, please come here,” I cried, “Okay, please stop crying and be with him, I will be there soon, be strong!” he said and hung on me. I walked back to Apollo and sat down near him, “Apollo!” I cried but there was no response, “Please open your eyes,” I moved my hand under his head and pulled him on my lap, tears rolling down my eyes while yelling for him to open his eyes. Hearing my cry the butler and maids came to the living room, “Bring water,” I asked looking at the butler, he nodded his head and ran to the kitchen. “Apollo!” I shook him
Clarissa’s Pov:- I swallowed visibly while debating what to ask him, I know nothing about Shade, I’m confused but I had been researching about this as I had to handle Apollo while staying here. I had read how to behave with a person with MPD, I made myself remember it. “I-I want to talk to Apollo? Please let me!” I asked with a smile, My heart was beating rapidly while I felt tensed and nervous about him. I noticed the way his eyes moved to my face to my body which made me self-conscious, “You’re Clarissa?” he asked, I noticed that his accent was different, the way he said my name sounded different. I nodded my head in response and maintained the smile. “I have 'eard a lot about you, Nice meeteng you,” he said while extending his hand towards me. I forced a smile and took his hand, he has an Irish accent.“You too,” I replied, “I'm shrry but I can't allow you to talk to Apollo, as de topic will cause him pain and I can't allow dat,” he said politely, I was disappointed at his rep
I took my phone from the handbag and dialled his number; my heart was pounding against my ribcage making me very nervous. After a few rings, he answered, “Clarissa?” He said through the phone, “I...I want to know when you’re coming home,” I said while placing a hand on my raised chest. “I will be there in a minute,” He said while chuckling a bit which made me blush, “O-Okay,” I shuddered and hung up on him, I controlled my breathing and smiled while shaking my head, “Stupid,” I hit my head with my hand while walking towards the bed. I waited anxiously for him; I couldn’t wait to ask him. What will you ask him? Is Juliette your submissive or lover? Jesus! You are an idiot Clarissa! My subconscious yelled at me. What if he doesn’t tell me about her? What if he doesn’t have any feelings for me? What will I do? My chain of thoughts was broken when I heard footsteps coming towards my room, I quickly pulled my cover over me and closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep.I could hear th
“Is it...is it…” I shuddered, I was shocked and words weren’t coming out of my mouth, my mind wasn’t taking the information in. “Yes, what you’re thinking is right!” he replied, “Wh..what!” I whispered while biting my lower lip and placing my palm over my face, “Don’t worry, Apollo ended it and he’s no more in touch with her,” he continued, but his words didn’t ease my doubts nor this feeling I had in my chest. What is this feeling! Am I hurt? Or is it something else? Sensing my silence Romulus spoke up, “Clarissa! You must talk to Apollo about that but… I have to warn you! This topic is a bit sensitive to him and he can get upset about it… you need to choose your words very carefully if you want to talk to him about Juliette,” he said and I could concern in his voice, “Okay,” I replied and sighed deeply, I want to know this relationship he had with Juliette, I don’t know why? Is it my curiosity? Why do I feel like I have a right to know everything about Apollo? I feel kind of o
The drive back to Apollo’s house was quiet, he didn’t say anything and kept his complete attention on the road. I was left with many questions and confusion and I couldn’t wait to ask all those burning questions to Romulus. We walked to his bedroom, and as soon as we stepped in, he claimed my lips hungrily kicking the door shut and unzipping my dress and ripping it off my body. ***I woke up feeling his hot breath against my neck, without waking him up I got up from the bed and tiptoed to the bathroom. I opened the cabinet in the bathroom and took a morning-after pill. I quickly took a shower and got dressed. When I walked out of the walk-in closet, I saw Apollo getting up from the bed and wearing his pants. “Good morning!” I said, looking at him. He glanced at me and smiled while pushing his hair back with his fingers, he looked cute while doing that with his morning face and sleepy eyes. “Good Morning,” he replied, walking to me, he kissed me on my cheek and walked inside the ba
CLARISSA’S POV:-I glanced at Apollo and saw him clenching his jaw, I placed my hand on his thigh. He glanced at me and I smiled trying to ease the tension. He blinked at me and I noticed a small smile appearing on his lips. I could feel everyone’s eyes on us but my attention was completely on him. His electrifying blue eyes bored into mine, sending chills all over my body, I looked away before I lose my control and smiled at Mathew, who was smiling at us with adoration evident in his eyes. “Clarissa, I’m happy to see you here,” he said with a genuine smile on his face, “Thank you, Mr. Mathew!” I replied, “Let me introduce my family to you,” he said, turning towards the person beside him. “My wife…” he said looking at His wife, who smiled at him with love and affection, “This… Is our 2nd born and…” he said looking at Jacob, “That’s our firstborn... “ he said looking at the person sitting beside Jacob dressed in a grey suit, “...Thomas,” he said. Thomas smiled at him and turned h
LYDIA’S POV:- Please leave for christ sake, I mumbled as I watched Simon search for me. Because of the darkness around, I had an opportunity to hide but the way he was searching for me made it hard for me to hide. I watched him push his blond hair back with his fingers in frustration, he kicked a rock in front of him in anger and turned around. I desperately waited for him to leave while placing my hands over my mouth. I peeped out and saw him walk back to his car, he opened his car door and stepped inside and drove away in anger. I released a breath I was holding and slowly got up and looked around me, there was no one here, other than me. I swallowed hard while tears rolled in my eyes, how will I go back! I asked myself as I walked towards the road. I walked through the way we came from London, it was dark and I was all alone, my body was shivering while a cold breeze hit my body. I wrapped my hands over my chest and began rubbing my shoulders. Tears ran down my cheek while the
