Darcy

Rhys' body shook violently as he clung unto me, sobbing against my chest. “No, no… no…” I could feel him shivering against me and knew that there was only a matter of time before the sobs turned to gasping. He was trying to hold it in, but he couldn't. Not with what had happened.

I held him closely as if he would disappear into thin air. My hands shook just like he did. The whole world around us seemed to be spinning out of control because I was afraid I was going to fall over myself. I didn't know what to do. This hadn't been what I thought was going to happen.

It was different seeing him like this, a side I didn't know he had and my heart broke for him over again as I let him cry regardless of the pain. I wanted to hug him close to make him feel safe. That I wasn't going anywhere or going away. And I needed him to feel safe.

After a while, he just stopped, went silent and finally took deep shuddering breaths. His body was shaking now less than it had been, but still there w

  • Revenge Of The Scarred Billionairess    Only A Dream

    Rhys“Go back to your room” I told her after she followed me all-day and was currently standing in front of me.She looked like she was about to protest but stopped herself and instead went for another tactic to get what she wanted. “I know you have a lot going on right now, can we at least let me be there for you?” she asked softly. She stood there looking like a kicked puppy and it hurt my heart to see that expression on her beautiful face. “I won’t say a word, you wouldn't notice I am there at all.” She pleaded with her eyes which were wide open and innocent. But I didn't need any of that, not even her presence. I wanted to be alone and the only person who could help me with that was myself. She seemed to read into my mind though because before I could tell her no she said, “Please, you'll hate me forever if I don’t try to help you. Please, just give me this one thing for a change? Please?”God damn it! I thought I was losing my mind already with all these new problems popping

    VincentCory was furious, her body shook with so much anger as she paced back and forth in the waiting room we currently were in. She had just returned from confronting Tessa and I could tell it didn't end well.The nurses had cleaned up my face but I knew it was still in a bad shape and my body ached terribly.“How could you let him do this to you? I married a grown-ass man not a coward Vincent! Fight Rhys back, you can't be his punching bag anymore! You're going to be a damn hero and fight your own battles!” she ranted, running her hands through my hair in frustration.“I fought him back” I added as if it would change anything.“Yet he doesn't look as terrible as you do right now” she commented, looking at me skeptically as if I had been hit by lightning myself. “No offense, but you seem like you got run over by a truck.”I didn't bother to answer her, she had a point.“Look honey, I am just saying that Rhys needs to be dealt with, especially now that Jude Madigan is dead” she said

  • Revenge Of The Scarred Billionairess    Funeral

    Darcy Jude Madigan was buried on a cold Saturday.It rained the next day, a heavy downpour that would have been nice to escape in, but only made it harder for anyone who decided to walk outside to get home safe. That, and all of the umbrellas had broken within a half hour of opening. No one had bothered to replace them because it was not really necessary.Rhys stood far, mostly watching as if he was not a part of the family. He wore dark shades to conceal the eye bags and dark circle under his eyes from lack of sleep. It seemed like it did not do any good; the bags remained even though they were no longer black, and his complexion did not look much better either. They looked like two shadows against the rain. His bruised knuckles were wrapped in a bandage, though he didn’t seem to mind the pain. He just watched.All through it, I watched Rhys. He was broken, badly broken and yet he acted so tough. He would not cry. The grief was too great. If there was something I could do, anyt

  • Revenge Of The Scarred Billionairess    Rhys Emergency

    DarcyWhen we got back, Rhys left me and retreated back to his room, leaving me standing in the hallway in my once-drenched dress that was now dry. He didn't go back to Jude Madigan’s estate where the rest of the guests had returned. I knew it was because he could not stand being around the same environment as Vincent and he didn't want to accept the reason why all those people were gathered there.I let him be and retreated to my room where I broke down in tears.I cried untill my body became numb, until there was nothing but aching sorrow inside me that was too painful to feel anything else. I wasn't crying for Jude Madigan, no. I was crying for my son because each time, Cory showed me that she had him to herself and there was nothing I could do, each time she proved that I was a sore loser in their games. I felt like the biggest loser ever in life. Like, how pathetic was it that you couldn't save your own son? That you can’t even protect him from someone who has no a right to have

    Darcy “Kiss me” He begged in a whisper that sounded so silently, his eyes full of yearning. He reached to hold both my shoulders. His eyes locked with mine as I stared into them deeply searching for any hint of hesitation. I didn't find any. My heart beat frantically, my chest constricted. He was so close. So incredibly close.I could feel the heat radiating off of him from beneath his clothes and from his touch against my skin. I could almost feel his soft lips on mine, taste the saltiness of his tears. The desire to close that distance was overwhelming me and it felt so natural. It felt as if it was always meant to be. I wanted it.I closed the little distance left between our lips and I kissed him. My fingers tangled into his thick hair and I pressed myself closer to him. I wanted to savor all of him. Every bit of him. From his warm breath hitting my face and his sweet smelling cologne surrounding me. I needed more. More of his smell.His arms slid around my waist pulling me flush

    DarcyAs soon as I felt him fill me I sucked hungrily onto his cock, taking all of his length, his head, his thickness. I could feel his whole body shake violently at my ministrations. Then it all went still. He released his content in my mouth and I took all of it panting heavily. His hand found mine and intertwined it with his.“Thank you” he whispered. His breath tickled my earI turned my head towards him so our noses were touching.“You are welcome” I whispered back before leaning up and placing a kiss upon his lips.Maybe he could taste himself there after all.He lifted me up from where I still was in front of him and placed me gently down on the edge of the bed. My back rested upon the mattress, he climbed on top of me straddling my lap. His fingers brushed against my cheek lovingly causing warmth to radiate throughout my entire body as he looked deeply into my eyes and smiled."God, you are beautiful," He said with awe evident in his tone of voice.I smiled shyly "I'm glad y

    Vincent “I wasn't expecting to see you, I just came back from my trip and I promised to reach out to you and your brother next week” He was sitting across the table from me in his house.Cory was right.“Well, it's a good thing I came to you, isn't it?” I asked while taking a sip of the wine in front of me.The man, Mr Stark, who was Jude Madigan’s lawyer and who was also in his late fifties, looked at me with curiosity in his dark brown eyes. His hair was greying and there were creases that made him look less like an intimidating businessman and more like someone whose life was more lived than most people’s.“It is. So why are you here?” he asked, putting down his fork. “Is everything okay?”I put down my glass of wine as well and took a deep breath before I answered “Yeah. Yeah. Everything's fine.”We stayed silent for about fifteen seconds after my statement until Mr Stark decided to break it: “And you're sure? You're absolutely certain that you’re okay?”I nodded.“Good”“Well y

    Vincent“That asshole!” I cursed as I smashed the glass across the walk. The child began to cry.“Nicole! Nicole!” I heard Cory scream out. Nicole ran into the living room.“Make him stop crying” Cory ordered. Nicole took the child from her and left.“Can you tell me what is going on? You are overreacting” Cory demanded. She was not happy about being ignored.“The foolish old man did not agree. He rejected my money” I seethed through gritted teeth. “I should have known he would do that. He was always the same. Nothing was ever good enough for him” I continued ranting.“You can’t just expect him to jump on the offer immediately, my dear husband, greatness takes time and effort. You will need to be patient with him. He is still adjusting to your offer. It will take some time”“What if he doesn't agree to it before next week?” I huffed. “I cannot wait a whole week. I am in the market for something soon… Something special” I continued pacing back and forth. “Something that will last...”

    Darcy Cory has a weird energy around her. How did I not notice this when I was living with them? The lunch date had ended in ways that I didn’t really know what to do with, and I couldn’t think of anything other than running away.When I left the Cory, I walked halfway and just when I was about to take a turn, a huge car parked in front of me. I could see Blair behind it.“Our boss wants to see you” the man who spoke tried to give me a sympathetic smile but it looked so crooked that his face scared me a bit.I know the terror that punched me when I heard those words, I wanted to disappear into thin air, today was going to suck and it was only a matter of time before it did.I had never wanted to be alone with Blair. Not after everything that happened. I wanted to stick to avoiding her like a plague but I wasn't prepared for the taste of her rich car interior. There was a smell of cinnamon and vanilla, something sweet in her perfume that lingered in the air around her. She was sitting

  • Revenge Of The Scarred Billionairess    Past

    RhysI couldn't stop thinking if Tessa was alright. Something seemed off about her, off about the way she reacted, about the way she left the house the next morning, I had one of my guards follow her secretly. Maybe it was just me overthinking things and I was stressing over nothing. She might be fine and we should leave it at that. I didn't have time to worry about that though. Some things needed my attention and my mind was already set on getting them done before the night was over.Liam who had come over was sleeping in the next room and when I stepped out so I could get a cup of coffee, I could hear his snores filling the hallway and I shook my head feeling sad for him.I couldn't help but wonder if the work I was putting in was going to turn out impressive or not.It had to be, it needed to be. It was meant to be my tribute to Jude Madigan. His life ended too quickly. Way too quickly. I believe that if grandfather knew he was going to die soon, he would have told me, and there

    DarcyShe walked in looking nervous and even though she wore shades, her eyes constantly moved as if she was scanning for danger and I smiled satisfied with the fact that she knew she wasn't safe.She would soon enough learn that I could take care of my own problems so she wouldn't need to worry about me anymore.Her hands were trembling so badly I worried that they'd fall from their places around her waist but she managed to hold on by sheer willpower, which only showed the potential strength it had inside. I had to admit that it was quite impressive but it wasn't gonna get her anywhere. I needed her to believe that I had all the upper hand here or else she really would have been an easy conquest. The only reason she even came was because there was something about me that made her feel like she should follow through no matter how bad it seemed, which made me smile. And mainly because she knew what she wanted from me.I sent her a little wave. Once she noticed me, she began making he

  • Revenge Of The Scarred Billionairess    Theory

    Unknown Rhys needed to be stopped.The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I didn't want him to die a simple death, that was easy.I wanted him to smell fear, I wanted his life to crumble. I wanted to know what it felt like not being in control of yourself, not being able to protect someone else from pain, no matter what. The way my parents had died and my aunt sister had died, how I'd watched helplessly as our family fell apart not bit by bit but drastically, all in one night.How could I forgive Rhys? how could I let him get away? How could I ever forgive myself for not hurting him, I didn't think I’d ever be able.And so I found myself on the rooftop again, the sky an endless canvas above me and the wind whipping around me. A few clouds drifted by lazily, barely registering the threat that lay beyond them, I thought. I had started my master plan first by leaving Rhys a surprise package in his office. It had been so swift to stop at the office.“Good morning Ma” the

    DarcyOnce Rhys and I got back home, I could feel the guards staring at me. They looked bewildered and I couldn't blame them.The news of my disappearance has been a big one and I felt guilty as I imagined Rhys taking out his wrath on them for letting it happen. I was sure that they didn’t even know what to do about it any more than I did. Once I got inside, Claire, who was in the living room, froze when she saw me, it was all for a second because she ran over and embraced me and I buried my face against her neck which smelled of her shampoo. It comforted me, knowing that if anyone knew how I was feeling then Claire would give me comfort. Claire pulled away after a few minutes, her eyes scanned my body for any sign of injury, I guess she thought I might be hurt. After confirming that I wasn’t, she looked back into my eyes.Rhys just stood there awkwardly, afraid that he was interrupting something or that I was going to freak out again like before. He was watching us carefully, waiti

    Rhys Tessa moved over to suck my cock off and I felt her warm saliva dripping down my shaft. Her hand closed around my length and she began stroking me furiously. I was close. And then, just when I thought my release would never end, she reached out to stroke my balls too. “Oh yes” I growled.And she kept it up for some minutes. I could feel my muscles contracting, my fingernails digging into her scalp as I tried to stay connected to her.I thrusted aggressively into her mouth and her eyes rolled back in pleasure as she swallowed all of it. The next second I shot inside of her again and again, the feeling so intense, so pleasurable, I felt like crying. She was my world. All this while she held me inside her, licking my juices and giving me what no woman had ever given me before - complete devotion, devotion in a way I'd never experienced before.When I eventually collapsed on top of her, exhausted and satisfied, I could hear her breathlessly say: “Wow, that was amazing”. I smiled co

    Rhys“Can we go home?” I asked her and she looked at me how hesistantly.“I am not sure that's a good idea” her reply is cautious, hesitant.“What do you mean?” I sounded too offended. I was trying to be understanding. But I just couldn't wrap my head around why she’d disagree. I thought we were doing just fine.“We are always fighting and I am not sure where we stand anymore… so maybe it would be better if we stop now before something else happens” My head felt light, my stomach hurt, as if I just had a big meal or even a really bad hangover and I don’t know. “How could something happen when everything we’ve been doing has been perfect?” My voice was hoarse, “I shouldn't have said the things I said but you didn't have any right going through my stuff either” Her expression softened and her fingers gently caressed my skin. “I'm sorry” she mumbled.We both went quiet for a while and then she said something very unexpected. “It was just a lot of information…it took some time.

    RhysFate was funny like that.It had never quite caught onto the fact that you could change your fates if you wanted to. Sometimes it claimed that it was in control but really it was just another form of manipulation, just one more thing that you couldn't stop. The last person I expected to call me was Liam.We spoke casually and it was almost like we didn't fight.“How's your wife?” He asked me. The was no hidden message, just a question of concern.“She is fine” I lied casually, I couldnt tell him that she was missing, that Tessa had left me with an empty house and a dead heart and I wasn't sure how long i would be able to hold the weight of that on my shoulders, that i knew exactly what her absence felt like,.Why? Why was I bothered that she was not here? We fought all the time and it did nothing, but sometimes we didnt and that was okay, I guess. Bloody liar.I heard that voice whisper in my head. Tessa had resurrected something in me, something I didn't think was even possib

    Darcy My throat suddenly felt dry as I stared at this stranger hoping that maybe I didn’t hear him properly. I expected him to take back what he said but he didn't and he continued to stare at me.“Uhmm… my husband?”“Yes, your husband. What's your name?” He continued, unperturbed by my unwavering stare.“Dar…Tessa” I answered as meekly as I could, still not used to the fact that I was being questioned by a stranger.“Do you remember what happened last night?”Again my mind immediately jumped and I bit back the instinctive response, knowing it would just make this man more suspicious of me. I took a deep breath before answering him “I don't remember much…”“You don't?” His grey eyes bore into mine as if trying to dig through my skull to find whatever memory he was looking for. It was unsettling how he seemed almost fascinated with me, even though I had no idea what he wanted to know. I didn't think I should tell him anything about myself because his reaction to the name was too odd f
