CLARISSA’S POV:-“What!” I heard Lydia’s gasp and turned around to look at me, I exhaled and leaned back into my seat,What should I do now? I can’t even get away from him!“I knew it!” I heard Romulus say while driving the car, we both looked at him in confusion,“My brother wants you! And I think you should just listen to him for now, it's the only option you have,” He said,I noticed the look Lydia was throwing at him, “Oh like we don’t know that!” She said rolling her eyes at him, Romulus just shrugged while he continued to drive the car.I sighed and turned my head, looking at the passing people and roads,How did I end this situation? I brought this upon myself, I shouldn’t have followed him in the first place! Fuck my life!What should I say to mom, she will ask me thousands of questions, what should I tell her? If I tell her I have a boyfriend and wants to move in with him then she’ll ask to introduce him to her. Introducing Apollo to mom is a bad idea. What if he notices my
CLARISSA’S POV:- ***Ring***Shit!I noticed Lydia, who was looking at me in panic, I bolted out of my room.God, please save me. I climbed down the stairs and spotted my mom going to the main door while the buzzer has rung again,“Mom!” I called out,She turned around as she heard me, I signaled her I’ll open it by my hands and she nodded her head while turning back and walking to the kitchen, I smiled at her and walked towards the door. I sure she might feel suspicious noticing my behavior but knowing my mother she will wait until I tell her. I took a deep breath as I grabbed the knob with my shaking hands and opened the door, I peeped through the door and my breath hitched when he’s serious and intense eyes landed on me.I moved back and stared at him, terrified to see him there, “Ap... Apollo!” I shuttered, he gave me a bone-melting smile while raising his hand, I flinched back, scared of what he might do! His hand touched my cheek, and I noticed adoration in his eyes which ma
CHAPTER 30CLAIRESSA'S POV:—I was staring at him, shocked as the realization hit me, it was him with whom I lost my virginity that night. His blue orbs were staring at me with a blank expression on his face. I tried to wiggle out of his hold; he stared at me while trying hard to get my hands out of his grip. Suddenly he released my hands, making them fall to my sides, I moved my hands over my chest. I looked up at him while rubbing the bruise which formed because of his tight grip over my wrist.It was hurting badly, I could not make out words, I was opening my mouth and closing it like a fish, not knowing what to say. I was angry, disappointed, and glad it was him; I can't deny the attraction, but I never thought I would lose it in my drunken state."You…" I whispered as tears began rolling in my eyes before I could complete the sentence. He shoved me to the wall claiming my lips like a hungry wolf while knocking off the air. I placed my hands on his chest and tried to push him away
LYDIA’S P.O.V:-I was walking towards my car withthe file of a new project of Mr. Mathew, the previous night’s party of him wasto cover the media and get their attention towards the new project butunfortunately, it was a disaster for us although it was successful for him andthe company.I feel helpless and guilty as Icouldn’t help the one person close to my heart, I don’t know why Apollo wantsher but one scratch on her and I will kill that bastard myself, and it’s apromise that I made myself for Clair.After that man took her with him, I came back to my apartment and dressed up for the office. I got inside my car and drove from here. As I reached my office, I noticed that Clarissa hasn’t come yet.It made me tense and worried about her, “Lillian!” I called as I noticed her walking towards Mathew’s office, I got up from my chair and walked to her. She watched me walk to her with a smile on her face, “Do you know why Clarissa didn’t come yet,” I asked her, she shook her head as c
CLARISSA’S POV:-“Wh.. What!” I shuddered, when I heard his words, my mind has stopped working when that event happened in his basement has rushed to my mind. I licked my dry lips while looking away from him. My heart was beating rapidly against my ribcage.Whose blood was that? Why was that on the bed? Did he do something to me when I was unconscious? But he said that wasn’t my blood! All these questions were running inside my mind, but I didn’t dare to voice them. I could feel his hand travelling slowly towards my stomach and my breathing hitched when I felt his hot breath on my neck, I throat dried when I felt his wet kiss on the nape of my neck.“Ap.. Apollo!” I whispered,“I know, what’s running in your brain,” he whispered against my skin. He pulled me back with his hand wrapped around my waist. I could feel his toned muscles against the fabric. Some unknown feeling has washed over my body making me flush. He began placing wet kisses over my neck while tightening the hold aroun
CLARISSA’S POV:-The feelings were intense, my hands were around his neck while gripping his hair from the back of his neck.“hm...” I was a moaning mess, he let go of my lips and began kissing my neck, I threw my head back feeling his lips against my skin and the warmth it had, he sucked on my sweat spot which made me moan out loud.“Apollo…” I moaned when he began licking the spot he sucked on, my body was pressed tightly against his, my breasts were squeezed against his chest. I was on edge, I don't know what I was feeling but it was clear I want more. His hands were gripping on my waist he found my lips again, He’s everywhere up my neck and over my jaw and suddenly he’s kissing me harder, deeper, with a fervent urgent need I’ve never known before. He groaned softly, low in his throat as I kissed him back with the same intensity and need, I feel him, all of him, pressed against me.Suddenly, he let go of my lips and pressed his forehead to mine, the absence of his lips on mine mad
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
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
