Cullian's POV.

“Yes, I'll be your wife” I wasn't sure I heard her right.

“But only till you have secured the position, then we can split ways, deal?“

I nodded my head, too shocked by her acceptance that I couldn't speak.

She stretched her hand towards me for a hand shake. This time her eyes were intently fixed on mine.

“Deal,” I managed to respond while I returned the shake. I hoped that she didn't hear my voice crack a little from being too overwhelmed, goddamn! This was only a contract marriage with this woman and i was this excited.

I tried to comport myself by standing up straight, so I turned to her one more time.

“I will inform my lawyer to bring the contract for you to sign,” I said to her as I watched Melinda come in with some shopping bags containing Darlene's clothes.

A few hours later, my lawyer arrived with the contract and we both signed them, we were now legally husband and wife, the contract was to last for two years, and that was it, Just two years.

It was raining heavily.Oh wait! I noticed a figure laying close to me, not just close to me, I could feel his hands wrapped around me. No way! He was cuddling me?“You're awake, I heard him say, slowly he bent to plant a kiss on my forehead, it was gentle and soft, it sent a warm fuzzy feeling down my spine. Reluctantly, he released me from his grip and he sat up, I was still laying down, i looked up to see this handsome man glancing down at me, there was excitement in his sparkling Amber eyes, our eyes were both locked in each others, i didn't want to look away either, why was he gazing at me lik

    I went back to my room, sat on the bed heaving a deep breath.What was I expecting? Besides, a handsome man like Cullian had the right to have as many mistresses as he wanted.But why did I seem to care? Why could I feel such jealousy burning inside of me? I seemed to be forgetting I was only here for a contract marriage, and in three years time we would be out of each other's lives. I was only doing this for the money, right? “Stop worrying Darlene, it's only for the money,” I whispered, convincing myself.“Here is your cup of milk, I hope you won't change your mind again,” I turned to glance at Cullian as he made his way into the room, he was holding a tray, and on top was a cup of milk and a plate of cookies. “How did he know I was also craving cookies?“I tried to force a smile but I think he had noticed my mood, Or rather it was me who couldn't hide my feelings.“Is everything alright?” he asked, placing the trey on the bed.“Why are you pretending to care Cullian? after all I'm

    in a split second Cullian was already in her. He had taken Darlene in a sharp thrust, her hands got hold of the sheet grabbing it so hard like her whole body was about to be drowned, her legs wrapped around Cullian's waist, drawing him nearer…. Deeper into her.The sharp loud thumping of both their bodies. Clasping together, Echoed the state of Darlene's own.She could feel their souls set ablaze, was this love? No, was this really how it felt?Soon Darlene's eyes were closed again, the moves became grander. More sophisticated, more passionate. Each moves we're special and unique. A memorable moment. The sound of their heartbeat had taken control of the room. The rhythmic thrusting started out a song, A tune that was only comprehensible by both their souls, linked in one flesh and spirit. Both their souls set out the tune for their bodies to follow, and they obeyed, moving graciously.“Darlene, you're mine,mine alone, you're not leaving me,” Cullian whispered into Darlene's ears.CU

    Few minutes ago, the men had carried me out of the car, to a place I couldn't see, they had blindfolded me in the car, tying up both my hands and feet. Gawdess! What was I thinking, if I hadn't left Cullian's house, these men wouldn't have found me, wait! I can hear footsteps coming towards my direction.“Please, where I'm I? What did I do wrong? please tell me, why did you and your men bring me here?,” I couldn't see who it was, I wasn't even sure anybody was there. “Soon you'll find out, for now, eat this, just know you're an asset to us now,,” I heard a man voice, I felt his hand at the back of my head, he had loosen up the blindfold, I squinted my eyes turning around, I really wanted to know where I was. It was an empty room, maybe an empty room in an enormous mansion, because despite the white painted room being totally empty, the tile on the floor and the Chandelier looked quite expensive.“Why I'm I here? I did nothing wrong,” I said to the man squatting behind me, he was Loos

    “Cu,Cullian?“ How did he find me?Well I guess you're of no use to me princess,” the master pointed a gun at me, Gawdess, I swear I could already see the light. He was about to pull the trigger when someone broke into the room. It was my Cullian.“Don't you dare, I'll blow your brains out even before you could pull your trigger,” Cullian said.“How pathetic, you know that can't happen cousin, Look Cullian I only want your position, we could still do this the easy way, give up the position and I let her go, or else you lose both her and the throne,” The master, Lucas said.“ Why haven't you grown up? Release my wife, or else I'll kill you like I did to all your men,” Cullian said with all Authority in his voice, who knew a man like this could love someone like me.Indeed I really did matter to him, he didn't just forget about me, he wasn't pissed I had run out on him, he was willing to risk his life for me, or rather risk his cousin's life.“Lucas, you know what I can do when I get an

A smirk crossed Cullian's lips, I had never seen such an expression before.He loosened his towel, and we were both standing naked before each other.“Suck me Darlene, I want my cock in your mouth,” his voice was rough and a little authoritative, or maybe he was still holding back his dirty demon. Well it was left for me to let it out.I got down on my knees, staring at his cock like it was the first time. I gawked at the sight of it. Gosh he was so, so huge.I looked up to glance at him, I could see the burning desire in his eyes. And with my eyes still locked in his, I parted my lip, taking his huge cock that could barely fit through my mouth.“Ughrr!“ He groaned.I held his cock with both hands and spat on it as I took my tongue to the tip of his cock, letting my tongue tease him. “Fuck!“ He leaned back on the wall of the bathroom as a s

I and Cullian had fought too hard for this peace. “Mommy?” Aurora’s voice broke through my thoughts. I turned to see her standing in the doorway, concern etched on her face. I couldn’t let her see my fear. “Just a minute, sweetie!” I called out, forcing a smile. I needed to focus on what mattered, my husband—my children, my family. Cullian walked out of the kitchen agaim, his brow furrowed with worry. “Darlene, what’s wrong?” “It was nothing, just a client,” I lied, pushing down the knot in my stomach.

His eyes burned with a relentless rage.As we clashed again, pain shot through my body. Conri’s claws raked across my side, tearing through flesh and fur. I winced, feeling the warm trickle of blood pooling beneath my pelt. Each strike from him felt like a hammer against my bones, and I struggled to keep my footing. 'I can’t let him win. I can’t let him take them from me.'“Is this all you’ve got?” Conri mocked, his breath hot and foul. “You’re just prolonging the inevitable.” The taunt stung more than the wounds he inflicted.I lunged at him, desperation fueling my movements. I managed to catch his flank with my teeth, but he retaliated with a brutal snap of his jaws.

She could feel it deep in her bones.

I really hope so.” Darlene

    Cullian paced, his heart racing. He could sense something was off; the air was thick with tension. Suddenly, a loud crash broke in. Cullian rushed to the window, his instincts screaming at him. He saw figures moving in the darkness—his guards. They were fighting, but one by one, they fell, taken down swiftly by an unseen force. "Conri…" Cullian muttered under his breath. He knew him too well, and he knew this was no ordinary attack. Just as Cullian turned to grab his jacket, a loud bang echoed through the front door. It burst open, and there stood Conri, his presence dominating the room. He was alone, but his aura was enough to fill the space with dread. Cullian’s jaw clenched. “You shouldn’t have come here, Conri.”“I had to see you one last time before I end this,” Conri replied, a smirk on his lips. The two men faced each other, tension crackling in the air. Cullian stepped forward, fists clenched. “You think you can just walk in here and threaten my family?”Conri chuckled da

My heart melted as they enveloped Cullian and me in a tight embrace, their warmth a stark contrast to the chilling events that had just unfolded.We had literally escaped death.

I felt the weight of responsibility pressing down on me—not just for Darlene and Aurora, but for my two sons back home, who must be worrying about us. Hours had passed since we left, and the thought of them waiting, anxious and alone, fueled my resolve.“Darlene, stay quiet,” I whispered, my eyes scanning the dim corridor for any sign of escape. I could feel Aurora trembling against me, her small hands gripping my shirt tightly. I needed to reassure them both, but I had to stay focused.The guard’s footsteps paused just outside the door, and I held my breath, praying he wouldn’t turn back.

    “Darlene,” he whispered, leaning closer, “I think I have an idea.”My breath hitched as I met his eyes. “What is it?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. Cullian glanced back at the dead man sprawled on the ground a few feet away. “We can take his uniform. It’s a little tight, but it should work. I can sneak out past the guards if I look like one of them.”I nodded, understanding the urgency of our situation. “Okay, but be careful. We don’t know how many guards are out there.”He nodded, and I watched as he moved cautiously toward the body. I kept my eyes on the entrance, ready to alert him if anyone approached. The man lay still, the remnants of life extinguished in a single gunshot. I suppressed a shudder as I thought about how close we had come to a similar fate. Cullian knelt beside him, carefully unbuttoning the uniform jacket. “Here goes nothing,” he murmured, stripping off the jacket and shirt. I could see the muscles in his arms tense as he pulled the fabric over his he

I’m just here to get my wife and daughter,” Cullian said, breaking the chains from my hands and legs.Conri's mother didn’t know that her son had fallen out of the window. Cullian and I kept quiet because if she found out, we wouldn’t be leaving here.“Why, then, is the room a mess, and where is my son?” she asked, her gaze searching the room.Cullian ignored her, grabbing my hand. “Come on, Darlene, let’s go. We have to find Aurora,” he said. I nodded.“I think I know where she is,” I responded, getting down from the bed as we both walked out of the room, leaving Conri's mother dumbstruck.“Hey, I need to get my daughter back,” I said, approaching the maid.
