Brielle Clarke

~•~

Maxim had told me he was only going to be gone for three hours as the journey to and fro didn’t take more than two hours, but it had been more than five hours and he still wasn’t back.

I tried to call him several times, but he wasn’t answering. It made me worried. I even tried calling Andrei but it wasn’t going.

I couldn’t do much but worry, so I tried not to think too much about it and went downstairs for the first time today. Maxim had brought my food upstairs and we had eaten together before he left for his supposed mission.

I had spent my time transferring my clothes and products into Maxim’s room without any help.

Mikhail was also not around so I went straight to the kitchen, knowing Marina was going to be in there as always.

However, when I reached it, I was surprised to see that she was not alone. She had company.

“Hi, little Bri.”

My first instinct was to glare at her and ask her what the hell she was doing here since Maxim had nothing to do with her anymo

    Maxim Vasiliev~•~“Are my eyes deceiving me or are you actually here to visit your father?” My father dramatized when he opened the door to see me standing behind it.He stepped aside, giving me space to walk in. I looked around his penthouse. It was huge and fancy. I wondered how he got along with his two wives with just one bedroom. Knowing my father, he probably made them have threesomes even if they didn’t like each other.It was cringey to know that kind of information but my father has always been one to overshadow, especially when it came to his sex life.Luckily, the two women weren’t around.“Hi, Father.” I greeted.“It feels surreal to see you here.”This was the second time I was visiting. The first had been when he just bought the place and wanted to have a housewarming party. I told him he was too old for it but he didn’t care and went ahead to have it anyway.“You’ve invited me quite a number of times.” I reminded him as he led me into his office. I sat opposite him, st

    Brielle Clarke~•~Since the day Maxim mistakenly told me that he loved me, he hadn’t repeated it and acted like he never said it. It was quite frustrating. I wanted to know if he meant it or if he only said it in the heat of the moment.It disturbed me but I didn’t know how to bring up the topic without sounding weird. I didn’t want him to think I was obsessed with him or something. We had only started dating. I didn’t want to pursue him by being too demanding and clingy.“You know you should have packed the day before, right?”I rolled my eyes as I folded the last shirt I wanted to take with me. “I know. You have told me this a million times.”“Make it a million and one then.”“Shut up, Mikhail.” I turned around and sat on my suitcase, gesturing for him to zip it. He sighed as he bent down to my level to zip it. “I don’t see any reason for all these clothes. Maxim would prefer if you were naked anyway.” It was not a wonder Mikhail knew about Maxim’s sexual preferences. They were ve

    “We’re going to Paris.” Maxim stared at me with a straight face. “We’re going to fucking Paris???” I screamed in excitement. Paris had always been my dream country ever since I was a child. I had only seen it in the movies and always wished to visit it one day, but I knew it was wishful thinking because my parents never let me go anywhere. I wasn’t expecting him to take me there. “You mean we’re going to the city of love? Like I’m going to see the Eiffel Tower in real life?” I questioned. It was kind of surreal,“You’re my girl, this shouldn’t come as a shock to you. You deserve it.” He smiled at me. I was still filled with excitement and acting like a five-year-old that just opened her Christmas presents. Maxim had been acting sweet to me since the day we went exclusive but this was over the top. He was not the Maxim I was used to and frankly, I didn’t know which one I liked best.The controlling and possessive Maxim or the nice and caring one. A mix of both would be perfect.The jet

    Maxim Vasiliev~•~We took a shower together but Brielle got out before me, wanting to start dressing up first because she took longer to get ready.Our flight had lasted for eight hours so I was not surprised when I got out of the bathroom to see Brielle sleeping soundly on the bed. She was still in her towel that showed her little curves and her hair was all over the place, her soft snores the only sound that could be heard in the room.I chuckled as I opened my suitcase. Dropping my towel, I applied lotion to my body and put on a pair of sweatpants. We didn’t have any serious plans today anyway. I was just going to take her for a walk around Paris since it was such a beautiful sight to see. And seeing her get excited over it was even more beautiful.Closing my suitcase, I opened hers and started to unpack for her. She brought a lot of clothes that covered too much for my liking and I was tempted to get rid of them and get new stuff for her but I didn’t. I wanted her to wear what sh

    Brielle Clarke~•~I liked being in Paris with Maxim. He was more free and didn’t have anything to worry about, unlike when we were back in New York and he was always devising a plan to get rid of someone.It was nice. We felt like a normal couple. I was dressed in a long body-hugging black dress that had a high slit, ending mid-thigh. It had spaghetti straps and a deep curved neckline. It was also backless, which was surprising because Maxim was all about covering up when it came to my body.However, I didn’t question it.He was also dressed in black; a black button-up and black pants. He had a black belt around the pants and the top buttons of his shirt were undone. He looked good and if it wasn’t for the fact that I was eager to see Paris, I would have suggested staying in bed.I had been deprived of an orgasm early this morning. It wasn’t my fault I was hornier than usual.“You ready?”I nodded and Maxim took my hand in his as he led me out of the suite. We took the elevator downs

    Maxim Vasiliev~•~I heard Brielle’s low gasp and I bit my lip to refrain from laughing. We were staring at the painting of a woman who was hanging from the ceiling, naked. Her breasts shot out and the painting was only of her upper body.Brielle turned to look at me, mouth agape. “You keep opening your mouth for me like you want me to fill it with something.”She snapped it shut, blushing. She looked away from me, taking a peek at the other paintings around us. The one by our left was of a woman who was tied up, lying on her stomach, her pale skin decorated with red strokes. One could tell she had been flogged. The one by our right was of a naked man going down on a naked woman.Brielle looked back at me. “Max!”I arched an eyebrow, a small smile playing on my lips. “What? Do you hate it here?”She hesitated, looking down at her heeled feet. Taking her silence as a no, I placed my hand on her waist and led her to the next painting. The one with the red ass. “This is you when you de

    Brielle Clarke~•~Maxim teased me all night. After everyone had gone through the paintings, we sat down for dinner. There, Maxim had me subtly hand my panties over to him and started teasing me with his leg instead.He was a grown-ass man playing footsie under the table!Had there not been other guests, I probably would’ve begged him to take me on the table but that was not the point.I didn’t know why he continued to edge me but it started to get annoying at some point, which was why I kept to myself on the way home.Maxim chuckled, poking me like a little kid. “Are you really mad at me?”To further prove my point, I ignored his question and brought my phone out of my clutch to play a game. He laughed, turning it into a cough when I glared at him.“Come on, baby. You can’t tell me you didn’t like that.”“Liked being teased?” I exclaimed. “Does anyone?”Instead of answering, he took hold of my legs, placing it on his thighs. “So why don’t you want to let me touch you now?” He questio

    Maxim Vasiliev~•~Brielle paused and blinked severally. “What?”I smiled, stroking her hair. “What? You don’t understand English anymore?” I joked. “YA tebya lyublyu.” [I love you.]“You do?” she questioned like she couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t understand why. I had told her this before but she didn’t respond. If anything, I should be the curious and doubtful one.“I think I recall telling you this, dorogoy.”“Yeah, but–“ she blushed. “It never came up after that. I thought it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing. I–“With my hand wrapped around her neck, I pulled her up and she complied, not hesitating to kiss me back when I kissed her. “I do mean it,” I told her when our lips disentangled. “I love you and I mean it.”Her face was beet red. “I love you too.”I grinned. It was not like I was being arrogant, but except she was a really good actress, I already knew she loved me back. Hell, she even loved me first. There was no other explanation for all the shit she endured from me. “

    Brielle Clarke~•~Maxim had no plans of making use of the toys anyway.It was very late at night and every sane person that was present at that party was asleep already, but not me and Maxim.I was naked and on my knees. The only accessory on my body was the collar that Maxim made me wear. It was black with a silver pendant that had his name on it. It was very derogatory, but it felt hot as fuck.Maxim had me waiting on my knees while he freshened up, which made me anticipate what was going to happen. Only thinking about sex with Maxim had my arousal dripping down my thighs and he hadn’t done anything yet.I heard the closet door open and my eyes snapped up. Maxim was still fully dressed in his three-piece suit, with his tie in place.“Who said you could look at me, whore?”My gaze dropped immediately before I could think twice about it. I heard him approach me and in no time, he was squatting in front of me.He lifted my chin, finally giving me permission to look. My eyes were stuck

    Brielle Clarke~•~I knew Maxim had plans for my birthday, but what I didn’t know was that he planned to have a party as big as this.I almost chickened out from descending the stairs when I saw the crowd below it. Maxim had given me a black sleeveless dress to put on and Marina had helped me with my makeup and all that, keeping me inside the room for hours, giving him enough time for all the guests to arrive.“What’s this?” I questioned, my eyes stuck on the people who were eagerly waiting for my arrival.“I told you you deserve to be celebrated, baby. Didn’t I?” I was speechless. I couldn’t fucking speak. “That’s what this is. Now, stop putting on that alarmed face. One would think you were being kidnapped.” My eyes snapped to him and he raised his hand in surrender. “Too soon, I guess.”I laughed, kissing him shortly before he led me downstairs.“Happy birthday, Brielle.” They screamed in unison, making my pale face turn pink.It was night time already and I thought Maxim wanted to

    Brielle Clarke~•~After the whole thing, Andrei helped me and my sisters get to the car and drove us home. Maxim didn’t even bother looking at me when we were leaving. I didn’t speak to him either because I knew he was in a difficult state. I didn’t know what to say to him and I didn’t want to say the wrong thing. “Take them home,” Maxim told Andrei. He didn’t flinch. He acted like he was okay like he didn’t just end his father’s life. Throughout the ride home, I was thinking of how Maxim felt. He was definitely angry at me because I wanted to shoot his father. Did I cross a boundary? But I only tried doing it because I wanted to protect Mikhail. “Are you okay?” Aubrey broke the silence in the car. I sat in the middle of both of them and hadn’t moved since the ride started.“Yes, I’m okay.” I lied. I didn’t want to talk about what just happened. I was still trying to process it. “It’s okay if you’re not okay. What happened back there must have been traumatizing.” She didn’t buy m

    Brielle Clarke ~•~I looked up when I heard the door open, already knowing it was going to be Maxim.I felt awful. Maxim had seriously told me not to leave the house yet I did, putting myself and my sisters in danger, along with Maxim because who knew what his father wanted to do to him.From the snippets of conversations I’d heard around the house, Maxim had been provoking his father. Maybe, it was finally time for his father to retaliate and he was only able to get to Maxim through me.I was scared as fuck, but I felt even more guilty.Maxim looked right at me and took a step forward, only for his father to point the gun at me, making him come to a stop immediately. “Not so fast, boy.” He shook his head mockingly. “Are you that eager to save her?”I saw him clench his fists before putting them in his pocket. “What do you want?”“For you to undo all the stupid stunts you pulled.”“I’m sorry I can’t restore burnt buildings.” Maxim gritted out, unable to withhold his sarcasm even in

    Maxim Vasiliev ~•~I received an enraged call from my father this morning. He was pissed as fuck, but that did not stop me from going on with my plan.When I woke up this morning, I saw that Brielle wasn’t in bed with me, which meant she was still mad at me, but I didn’t have the time to stick around and wait to apologize to her. When I was done dealing with my father, I would explain everything to her.“You’re not taking it easy on the poor man,” Andrei said. He had also been pained by my father’s betrayal because he was a man we all trusted.“He deserves it,” Mikhail replied from the back seat. “He should have seen it coming. He knows the kind of son he raised.”Not to brag but Mikhail was right. He did know the kind of son he raised. Unlike him, I didn’t hide any parts of myself. I didn’t pretend to be who I wasn’t, so he knew me. He knew what I was capable of and he knew how I’d react to a betrayal. Betrayals were something I didn’t take lightly because a betrayal could ruin the

    Brielle Clarke~•~Just because I slept in the same bed as Maxim last night didn’t mean I’d forgiven him which was why I sneaked out of the bed early in the morning before he could wake up.It was a first for me.“Good morning, Mrs. Vasiliev.” Aubrey joked immediately after I answered her call.I rolled my eyes. “More like Miss Clarke.”“You could’ve fooled me. You said you weren’t sure about today because of your husband’s disapproval?”“He’s not my husband.” I gritted out, irritated by her teasing.“Okay, then how come he’s making decisions for you already?”I sighed. In the beginning, Maxim used to be very protective and controlling, but now, I knew that he wouldn’t tell me not to go out for no reason. He probably had something up his sleeve. The problem was that he didn’t trust me enough to tell me what it was and it aggravated me.That was the main reason I was ignoring him.He got so mad at me when I didn’t trust him and now that I trusted him with my life, he couldn’t share sma

    Maxim Vasiliev ~•~Brielle’s bright idea was to ignore me. She didn’t talk to me all day when on a normal day, she would come into my office at least, five times. She didn’t sleep in the room as well and I hadn’t seen her all day, except for when we all had breakfast together this morning.I didn’t know why she was acting up when all I was doing was for her safety. I didn’t tell her she couldn’t go out. I just told her she shouldn’t go out until it was relatively safe; when she could go out without me worrying that my evil father would get to her.“Trouble in paradise?” Mikhail laughed as he joined me in the gym.I rolled my eyes. It was obvious she had told him about it already. Sometimes, I wondered if he was my best friend or hers, but then again, aside from Marina, he was the only close friend she had.“She’s being a child.” I understood that she had been locked in all her life but she was twenty-two, an adult, and now exposed enough to know that I was only looking after her.“I

    Maxim Vasiliev ~•~I had put Brielle through a lot this year. I had put her through too much in general. Aside from the hell I gave her, she was kidnapped because of me and she was made a target because of my numerous enemies.Climbing up the ladder wasn’t so easy in our world. It meant making a lot of enemies. It meant defeating these enemies, but the problem was that some always came back.I wanted to give Brielle the perfect gift for her birthday, which was in five years, which was why I focused all my attention on stripping my father of everything he owned.He was the man that killed her mother. He was the one that made her go through all the shit she endured from her so-called family, and if I didn’t take care of him fast enough, I knew he was going to go after Brielle. She was my weak link. Everybody knew that:I wanted her birthday to be a special one. I wanted to throw her a grand party. Something told me she didn’t usually celebrate her birthdays because of the kind of famil

    Brielle Maxim~•~“Why don’t we throw a party?” All eyes, except Maxim’s turned to Mikhail. Why was he talking about a party when Maxim hadn’t settled his score with his father yet? Everyone would finally be able to relax when we knew the man was behind bars, paying for his crimes.“Why? The alcohol you are consuming right now is not enough for you?” Andrei asked sarcastically. We were at a bar, drinking together and I was the only woman among them. I wanted to stay at home and let them have a boys’ night out but Maxim refused and demanded I follow them.It was just me, Maxim, Andrei, and Mikhail. I wanted to bring Marina with me so I wouldn’t be the only female but she happened to be busy. Sometimes, it sucked that I didn’t have any friends, but most times, I was grateful for the tight-knit circle I had. I didn’t have to worry about betrayal and someone giving out my information to the enemy.Being with Maxim meant I inherited all his enemies and I could never be too careful. I had
