Darcy “Wear the dress, we have a gala to attend tonight, don't embarrass me” Those were Rhys' words once he got home. He dropped the bag beside me in the living room and made his way upstairs.I stared at him wondering why he was so grumpy and if something had crawled up and died in his ass.Regardless, I wore the dress he got. It was a simple armless black dress but something about it made me uncomfortable. Maybe it was the thigh-high slit or maybe it was simply because I was still insecure about how I looked even though my face was a whole new one.I could feel Rhys eyes on me when I walked towards him in the dress. I felt slightly flustered but I didn't show it. He didn't deserve to know he made me feel weird.Without a word, I followed him to the car, and he drove.“Smile and act like you are my wife when you get there. Don't act stiff beside me” , he spoke, barely sparing me an eye as he kept his gaze fixed forward on the road.I nodded my head in response. I wanted to say that t
RhysWhen we got inside, I saw Alex, Clarissa and Sophia. We had all gone to Harvard Business School together and were familiar with each other. Clarissa clung to me like a second skin. She and I had a thing once too many times and sometimes we still fuck whenever we found it convenient but right now I was not in the mood.“Did you hear that he bought Event 45?”One of the men randomly chirped in and the conversation kept moving from one subject to another.“Are you avoiding me?” Clarissa asked me after a failed attempt to urge me for a quickie. She was still clinging to me.“Of course not, why would you think that?” I tried to act innocent, I really did. But my heart wasn’t there either. It just felt cold and lifeless at the moment. This was how life usually goes, I didn't feel anything other than sexual attraction to all the women I had been with.“So you are really married?” she continued in a tone of voice that implied she already knew the answer but wanted me to confirm it anyway.
RhysDialled her number couple of times but wasn’t connecting, " It hasn’t been up to 24 hours I left and I’m pretty sure she still within the premises, which I know there’s definitely no down time with network that I’m pretty sure of".I muttered to myself and continued dialling her number cause I wasn’t ready to give up either, I deperately needed someone to help get me out of the feelings I was at the moment and Clarissa was the only person I could think of." Thank goodness" I said exhaling deeply" Hey Rhys, what’s up with the calls, is everything alright?" Clarissa said sounding tensed but I seriously do not want her knowing my reasons over the phone so I tried to make it look like I forgot something back there at the gala." Yeah, everything is fine Clarissa I just wanted to find out if you are leaving the gala soon?" I stuttered but she doesn’t seem to buy that, to her it’s actually a silly reason to give someone such a number of missed call, " Please Rhys come off it already,
RhysLickily there was no scratch in the both cars and no injury was sustained, slowly I removed my seatbelt and about to open the car door to go apologise to the guy I batched his car, then I noticed my phone was vibrating.I reached out to pick up the call but something seem really odd, I was trying to pick up the call when I heard another phone ringing right inside the car, " What is going?" i said to my confused self then turned to search where the sound is coming from.It was then I found myself lying on the bed, " My goodness, have I been dreaming all this while?" when I tried standing up from the bed I realised my phone has been ringing non stop, I quickly grabbed it to know who the caller was," Gosh it’s Clarissa!" I quickly got up not minding the sleep that was still in my eyes." Hold on Rhys, are you gonna make me call you forever?" She said fuming in anger" Not that Okay, is not really what you think trust me" I said hoping that would make her calm or feel a little bette
DarcyI couldn’t believe he just left me standing there like that. I thought it was a joke, I expected him to drive back and tell me to hop in the car again. He didn’t even do a double take when he saw my expression. Rhys was an asshole but accusing and trying to gaslight me when he was the one at fault seemed like overkill. I didn't do anything except stuffing my face with food. He was the one smiling with little Miss Perfect, whoever she was, I didn't care, but the whole time it was him.Breathe, Darcy, breathe. I thought to myself but it barely helped.“Asshole” I muttered under my breath while I kicked at a random rock by my feet while thinking about how much of a jerk I had also been.But he started it. Fhe grip on my purse was tighter as my hands shook from anxiety. But I managed to take out my phone to order a ride.“Trouble in paradise?”Someone asked behind me. I jumped and looked up, surprised at how close they came so suddenly.It turned out to be Bruce.“What trouble?” I
RhysI felt the pause in my system, "What is that sound?” I asked myself while standing and still wondering where the sound came from. Having stood for some time gazing where the sound came from, I decided to let it go and proceeded to Tessa’s room, probably finding out later when I’m sure she’s in the house.I stood at the door for quite a long period of time, still battling with my head if it was right to meet her or just let her be, ‘She disrespected me right? yeah so she definitely needs to apologize to me, imagine messing around with my enemy, I just can’t imagine what that monster must have filled her head with?’.I got totally discouraged and was about to turn around and start going back to my room, when a voice screamed to me, "Rhys you're such a coward!" With anger in me, I just can’t leave my room to this place only to hear such a God forsaken voice, "No way!" I screamed out loud, held the door handle and forcefully opened the door even without knocking, "Knock? no way I hav
RhysTessa stood right there looking at me with confusion written all over her face, I felt I was rather too forward, maybe I shouldn’t have said that yet I thought to myself regretting every step I had taken already. Maybe I could just return to my room with the same nonchalant attitude and I could leave her guessing, right?"Rhys?" She finally called out my name after a while staring at me in confusion, " What? Do you want to deny that too?" I quickly asked. There was no need to go back. I could deal with it once and for all."Deny what exactly Rhys, wait are you accusing me of having an affair with Bruce?" She asked quietly, I could sense amusement and disappointment in her tone, but It was too late. I couldn't undo it. All I needed at that point was answers, I wanted to be sure I hadn’t been a fool all the while. What if this was all a silly game and she was sent to set me up?" Yes Tessa you heard me right, is there something you want me to know?".She quietly moved close to her b
DarcyThere was no sign of Rhys when I woke up the next day. My whole body felt like it was weighed down with lead weights. My eyelids were heavy and my joints stiff. It took me a while to get out of bed. And I had no idea when he even left.“Good morning Ma” A voice startled me when I made it into the kitchen.“Morning?” I was confused. It was the same elderly lady I had been seeing around the house. She looked uncomfortable with my presence, like there was something she wanted to say but couldn't.“Do you want to say something?” I asked when I noticed how she seemed lost in thought.Her face lit up then and her features softened. “Oh no I didn't mean to bother you... Just that I'm at your services and you are not supposed to be in the kitchen, I can make whatever you want” She said.Her gaze lowered to the counter top. Her cheeks colored slightly and her hands began wringing in front of her.I smiled at her kindly. “Making a cup of coffee wouldn't hurt me and it wouldn't hurt you ei
Rhys Her bed was neatly made. The pillows were perfectly arranged on their respective corners, the sheets were smooth and her closet wasn’t empty except for a few spaces. There was nothing to indicate that any one of her possessions had been missing but I didn’t feel alright.I closed the door slowly and leaned against it. My chest was tightening with every breath. It wasn't the fear from seeing her room empty but something darker and colder. A chill ran down my spine. I shivered and wrapped my arms around myself, hugging myself tightly. I took a couple steps closer to the bed. I needed to breathe, just breathe.Tessa was probably just in the garden or in the kitchen with Claire but none of it helped with the way I was feeling.It was as if I was going to pass out. Why?I began to move towards the kitchen, the maids froze when they saw me.“Where is Tessa?” I said in a sharp voice. They all stood silent. Their faces were grim and fearful. “Where is she!” I demanded, taking another t
RhysI returned to my room after leaving Tessa’s room. She had seen the newspaper, she had called me a murderer, she had gone through my stuff. How dare she? Rage led me out of the house. The last thing I wanted to do was something we would both regret.“Hello, Rhys…” That familiar voice that I had almost forgotten said from the end of the phone. It made me freeze but quickly recovered.Why was he here?“What do you want?” I asked, trying to sound indifferent, even though I was on edge. “Is that how to say hello to an old friend?” his voice reeked of fake sincerity and I felt a shiver run down my spine. “I thought we were friends now after all these years?”I didn’t reply and then added in a cold tone: “If you wanted anything you could have just told me.”He sighed, “Of course, of course...” and then laughed lightly. “Well I guess you don't have much time today anyway, so I'll get straight to the point. I called to congratulate you”I knew him too well, I was familiar with the sick g
Darcy“Are you going somewhere?” Claire got up immediately I came downstairs holding my box.Her eyes moved between me and the box I was holding several times, I could see the questions running in her mind as well. She finally asked, “What’s all that?” when I gave no answer at first.“My mother…she is ill, she wants me to come home” I lied without meeting her gaze. I was ashamed of it, but I didn’t know what else to do at the moment. “But that's a lot, do you want me to rearrange them in a smaller bag for you?” Claire asked still looking at me with those eyes full of concern. I could tell how she wanted so badly to help me. But she was too kind to make assumptions about this situation without any evidence and she had no way to be sure whether or not the information I just shared was true. I stared at the smallish woman in front of me, I had grown fond of her.“No Claire, that wouldn't be necessary” By now my eyes were threatening to tear up so I forced myself to look up again. I swa
Darcy“What is this?” Rhys's face was as stoic as ever, but a slight tremor in his fingers betrayed his nervousness. I was in deep shit.“Why are you going through my stuff?” I asked instead even though I was trembling terribly inside and had not yet taken the first breath. He'd been at it forever.He stared at me, looking like he might explode any moment. “I don't see why that should be a surprise to you, considering that you enjoy snooping around in my belongings! You've been prying into them since we got here! Now tell me what's going on in your little head! What do you want?”I tried to open my mouth but nothing came out so all I could do was gape uselessly. It made no sense, this whole situation. He'd never spoken to me with such vitriol before. This was different.“You can't say? Exactly what I thought”He said dismissingly and began to walk away clutching the paper tightly.I reached my hand out to touch him, but stopped myself because I didn't know if it would be received wel
DarcyHe was there, on the other side of the street, staring straight at me, and if I hadn't known better I might have thought he was going to walk over to say hello. Then that truck drove past us in the middle of nowhere and he was gone. A gust of wind blew his way and I shivered, even though it wasn’t particularly chilly out. It felt as if I was standing on a precipice looking down at a bottomless pit, and no amount of willpower or will could keep me from falling off. There was nothing here for me except my own thoughts and memories. He had been there, and now he wasn’t, and it had all happened before I could even get started. The sound of the front door opening brought me back to earth. “Tessa! Are you ready yet?” Claire’s voice echoed around me but only made it worse somehow because I knew exactly what kind of energy she had to bring with her into a room like this. She came into view, her arms filled with plastic bags, and looked up at me expectantly. When she saw me standin
Darcy We were currently in the bathroom and Rhys didn’t fail to give me all I asked for as his cock slammed into me repeatedly. His movements weren’t steady and precise but were just enough to be satisfying. The sound of our moans mixed as we moved in a rhythm, the pace becoming faster every time I came. My orgasm was on the verge of completion when I felt his hips tense above me and his thrusts become sloppy with cum. He grabbed my hair tightly but not enough to hurt me and pulled my head back sharply so that he could look at me from the mirror. Nothing seemed more sexy than our faces which were twisted in passion.His eyes shone with desire, mine shone with contentment and the need for more, how was that even possible? Sweat dripped from his brow, and he was breathing heavily from the exertion. He was still inside of me though. I wasn't ready yet but it would soon be over. "You're beautiful," he said gruffly after he finally recovered from his lustful frenzy. I was still panting
VincentShe was naked when she walked up to me. Her firm breasts shook with each step took towards me.Soon we were facing each other.“You want me, don't you?” She whispered into my ear seductively. I smiled and nodded, unable to hide my desire for her. She reached out to me.I leaned in to touch her, but her hand stopped mine at the last second. “Wait” she breathed out as if she was trying hard to remember how to use her voice. Then she looked around. I didn't think much about it. My mind was focused on something else. Something important, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was. So many emotions rushed through me at once that I felt dizzy. I could only stare down at her. Her soft, white skin and bright blue eyes. She looked like an angel, or a fairy tale princess.When I closed in the space between us, she willingly let me as our lips explored, our bodies pressed together against our chests. Our lips parted slowly, our tongues intertwined and began to explore each others taste
DarcyI was stuck in a maze that was all I could say about my life recently. I had the same dream all over again and it wouldn’t stop nor leave me alone. I was drained. It got so bad that I didn't want to close my eyes anymore.It was dark and I was in an unfamiliar place. I could hear the sound of water flowing somewhere nearby but I couldn't pinpoint where. It seemed very quiet and peaceful, unlike everywhere else. A slight chill brushed over my skin. I shivered, my body was stiff despite the warmth surrounding me. Something was calling for me and I followed it without question.My feet carried me across the grass, the water was still flowing nearby and my ears were alert to any sounds. As far as I could see there was nothing but trees. At least there was nothing threatening to attack me here, at least nothing that I could see. So what was this place? Was it safe? Maybe it was something bad, maybe I should turn around right now and walk away.“You've come” The voice sounded deep a
RhysIt was dark when I saw the figure laying by the road. The more I drove closer, the more details became clear. I pulled over by a corner and moved towards it.The figure looked like a corpse. And it was cold to my touch. The hair seemed damp from the dew in the air. A chill passed through me and for once in my life I didn't feel like going into town to grab a drink. When I turned it around, it looked like the person's face had been torn. She was unconscious and I knew the culprits.“Stupid bitch” I spat as I stared at her.I had warned her before leaving her in the hospital. But she had this theory about my being the villain of a crime she couldn't solve on her own. If that was true then I'd take advantage of that and go back home. But now it would be a long night for me.I reached forward with both hands to lift up the body but hesitated for a second.“Get up Darcy” I muttered under my breath but nothing happened.“This girl is dead” I thought to myself. “She has probably died
