Warning *** sex scene*** Millie's POV I could not believe what I had just said. I couldn't believe Alex's response even more. Did he agree to my ridiculous request? And where did this question come from in the first place? What the hell was happening to me? Our marriage was not even the traditional one. Why would I want to have a conventional wedding night, then? I looked at Alex, too embarrassed to say anything more. To my surprise, he was glaring at me with excitement and a bit of... lust. That was new. Before I could gasp at his reaction, Alex grabbed my hand and pulled me from the sofa. The next moment, I was carried the bridal style. " Put me down," I said, but my voice was weak. " Isn't that a part of tradition?" He asked, and I had to admit that his tone turned me on slightly. It was deep and husky, so different from his usual voice. I looked around, wondering where we were going. Apparently, Alex was taking me to his bedroom. I have never been there before
Alexander's POV *** Warning*** sex scene*** Oh, my lord, what was this woman doing to me? I was completely unprepared for what was happening right now. When Millie flipped over me and sat on me, I could barely breathe. I had s*x before, more times than I could count, but right now, this woman was making me crazy. I had to do something quickly, or I would face the biggest embarrassment in my life. It wasn't good already when she grabbed my di*k and stroked it gently. I was ready to explode, so without warning, I flipped her again, making sure I would be controlling the situation. I pulled out her panties and spread her legs wider. Now, her pus*y was on full display, and I had to admit it was perfect. I had tasted it already, and I was ready for more. Without a warning, I lowered my head between her legs. I kissed her tights, leaving the best part for the end. Millie arched her back, grabbing the sheets as if it could help her suppress the moans that were now escaping her l
Millie's POV I was scared that the next day after our wedding would be awkward, but Alex was nothing but sweet and charming as always. I was the one acting odd, but with time, I relaxed around him. For the next few days, we spent time talking, watching movies, and fooling around. To my surprise, Alex asked me about sharing his bedroom with him. He said that that was the only right thing to do since we were married. His proposition took me aback, as I understood we were not a regular marriage, but I agreed, and we spent a day rearranging our stuff. My bedroom became a place where we could work when necessary. The first days of this new arrangement made me uneasy, but soon, I could not wait to sleep next to Alex. His presence made me calm. We also had two other "wedding nights" since we shared the bedroom. I could not lie; Alex was a great lover, making my toes curl whenever we made love. Somewhere in my mind, I compared this new life with my previous relationship with Mark. It
Alexander's POV. When Millie entered the bathroom, I waited momentarily until I heard the water running under the shower. Then I grabbed the phone, knowing I would not have much time. For my luck, John picked up almost immediately. " I need you to check something for me," I said after exchanging greetings. There was no time for a small talk. " What is it?" John asked, sensing the seriousness of the situation. " The material delivered to the construction site is damaged and rusty." " It looks like a supplier fuc*ked up the order. It happens." John replied slowly. " After what I heard from Millie, this could not be messed up this much. Besides, I saw the list of her orders. It was top-quality stock. No one in their right mind could make such a mistake." I told him dryly. Of course, the order could be messed up, but not to this extent. " What are you going to do about that?" John asked, and I could sense he was smiling. " It depends on who is responsible for this
Millie's POV *** Warning*** Sex scene I was in our bed alone, and only darkness was surrounding me. Alex was still in the living room. Why was he still there? Why did he not come to bed? I am almost sure I heard him talking to someone on the phone. His voice was too quiet to understand what he said, but his tone was sharp. Alex was angry, and my chest tightened at the thought. Was he angry with me? Maybe he complained to the person on the phone about my incompetence. Does he think I am a failure? Well, at least I could not be angry about that. It was exactly what I thought right now. Alex tried to cheer me up during the dinner, and I was grateful. But how could I explain to him the whole situation? And it looked tragic. If I fail on this project, my family will sue me. I had no doubts about that. Without the materials, we could not start work. I had no funds to buy more, and I would not ask my father for a loan. He would help me, but then I would not see any penny of pro
Alexander's POV When we were done with our small exercises, I carried Millie back to our bed, still gently kissing her neck. She was exhausted, and so was I, but in the most satisfying way. I lay her on the bed and tucked in the sheets, taking space behind her back. Millie mumbled something under her breath, but a moment later, she was asleep. I watched her sleeping, and when I made sure she would not wake up, I left the bedroom. What Mark Green did was still making my blood boil, and no amount of s*x could make me calm. The options of how to make his life miserable were spinning in my head, one more vicious than previous, but I knew I could not let my emotions take over me. This matter had to be solved slowly and methodically. Like every crime, you need proof to make someone pay for their fault. I had the feeling that Millie's family would provide me with enough to make them squeal. I doubted that this moron Green worked alone. He was not the brightest bulb in the box. Someone ha
Millie's POV I woke up to the gentle sound of my phone vibrating. I looked at the screen, wishing I could ignore it, when I saw Dave's name pop out. I had enough disasters for now, and I did not need another. Whatever he had to say, it couldn't be good if he called me at this ungodly hour. " What is it?" I finally picked up since he was calling over and over again. " Sorry, boss, but I really need you here," Dave said, and I felt like deja vu. What the hell was happening right now? Did the construction site be caught on fire? Well, I would not be surprised. " Boss, the new material arrived," Dave added, and I abruptly sat straight on the bed. I cursed myself as Alex groaned in his sleep. " I will be there soon," I said and moved out of bed. After a quick shower, I was ready, but then it hit me that I should at least make some breakfast for my husband. I made an omelette and poured him juice. One last glance at the table, and I was out. I could not sit calmly in the ta
Alexander's POV. It took me over an hour to discuss the final arrangements with Michael. He tried to talk me out of my idea, suggesting that my employees would try to use the new privileges. Again, I had to remind him that he worked as MY lawyer and my decision was final. We have parted both in sour moods. Nevertheless, I could not care less about his opinion. I was exhausted, but I had a few more meetings that required my presence. Luckily, the rest of the day was relatively uneventful, and I waited for the end of the day with anticipation. I was curious about Millie's day. Did the supplier keep his word and deliver the new material? If not, I was going to keep my end of the bargain. When I arrived home, Millie was already setting up the table. She did not talk much unless asked, and when we sat down to eat, I could see she was more pushing the food around her plate than actually eating. " Not the best day?" I asked, placing my plate in the dishwasher. " It was bittersweet, I
Alexander's POV" It is... nice, but I have better. More revealing, if you wanna know " Natasha nodded, pushing the bag back to me. " " I do not know, and I am not interested at all. Even the thought of this is repulsive." I mumbled, glaring coldly at the man staring boldly at my companion. Natasha furrowed her brows, pretending to be offended by my tone, but then she noticed my expression." Is everything okay?" She asked, utterly oblivious to her presence's effect on this place. Men were gaping, and some were almost drooling. I wouldn't mind if they were here alone, but most weren't. I felt sorry for the women accompanying them. " I shouldn't take you to public places," I said, shaking my head, embarrassed in the name of all good guys. " Why?" Natasha looked around and sent a dazzling smile to all the guys who were not fast enough to turn their heads fast enough. " Let them look. That is all they can have." " I do not care about them. But those women do not look happy." "I'm s
Millie's POV The closer to Friday, the more anxious I was. I could not explain that, but I felt this day would change my life. I still hold on to the idea of asking Mr Foster to give me a chance to work for him, but at times it seemed inappropriate. Maybe I should stick to my original plan and consider my small business. Probably, I would have to leave town as my family would find a way to sabotage it somehow. Maybe moving out would be the best for me. The new place seemed great for a fresh start. I would miss Gabrielle, but I am sure she would understand my decision. I thought about Alex. He kept invading my thoughts more and more often during those last days. I did not want to admit it, but I missed him. Even with my friend's support, I felt that something was missing. Last night, I had a dream that left me with an aching pain in my core. Alex's hands were exploring my body. Goosebumps covered my skin, and I shivered in pleasure. His smooth fingers were dancing aro
Third-party POV The conversation with Mark left me completely drained. This man seemed to be the perfect tool for my revenge, and was found useless. It felt like a sign from the gods when I met him a couple months ago. His being Millie's boyfriend was an excellent opportunity to come after her. When I met Gabrielle, I knew I had found a perfect woman. She was utterly smitten with my charm, obedient, ready to fulfil my every need. That was the woman I could keep by my side. She was in love with me, and I used it to the fullest. Gabrielle was beautiful and intelligent, she looked good by my side. With her law education, she could keep up with the conversation. Gabrielle was like a perfect accessory; all my lawyer colleagues praised me for finding such a woman. Our relationship seemed perfect, and I could not ask for more, at least for now. Of course, she sometimes brought up the marriage, but until now, I could devise perfect excuses to keep her on a leash. I was not ready
Millie's POV. I was job hunting again. I could not rely on the money I received. Maybe it was a mistake, and I would have to return them. In the last months, I stopped believing in my luck. There was always something that would turn the events against me. I scanned the offers, and nothing seemed interesting, but I had to start somewhere. My laptop pinged, announcing the new email. Maybe one of the companies I applied to decided to give me a chance. My breathing sped up when I noticed it was from Foster Inc., and my mood instantly dropped. That was the moment. They checked everything, and I had to give the money back. I clicked on the email with my shaking hand. I read it carefully once and then again. The CEO really wanted to meet with me. I could barely imagine how such a busy man could find time for some irrelevant conversation. My hands were still shaking when I typed a reply. Well, I guess I was going to talk to one of the most powerful people in this country. I
Third party POV" Of course, I understand. No, that is not a problem. I hope we will have a chance to work again in the future." I hung up, gritting my teeth. What the hell was going on? It was the fifth phone call since morning, and it was only 11 am. I hit my desk with fury. This was not looking good. One by one our partners were calling to cancel their contracts with us. No matter how convincing I was, I could do nothing to make them change their decisions. Some of them worked with us for years and had no complain about our service. I could not think of a single reason that could suddenly change their minds. I pressed my temples, thinking about the solution, but I could not come up with any idea. The situation became dramatic, and I knew what I had to do. I grabbed my phone, dialling Brown's number. He would find out anyway, so I preferred him to hear it from me. " Hello," Brown picked up almost immediately. Judging by the sound in the background, he was back in the hospital with
Alexander's POV" She caught the bait, " I smiled at John when he put the phone down. " She did, but I still think it is a bad idea," my friend gave me a side-eye, but I only waved my hand at him. " Let me remind you that it was your idea," I pointed out, and he gave me a nasty look. "That was not what I meant by helping her," John replied dryly, and I rolled my eyes. " Maybe, but it worked, and that's what matters. I knew Millie would not let such a thing slip. She is too honest for that." I knew exactly what to do when transferring money from the company account. Millie would never accept something she did not work for, and the amount was much higher. Of course, in my opinion, she deserved all the money in the world, but two million was enough to put her on edge. There was no way she would not try to get to the bottom of this. And that was what I was counting on.John shook his head, defeated. " I hope she would not get mad again. I thought you were going to win her back, not p
Millie's POVWhen Gabrielle entered the room, I kept staring at my phone, unable to move. " Is he already begging you to come back to him?" She asked jokingly, but I had no strength to join her. Thinking about Alex was not on my list right now. I was still mad about all his secrets. He could keep them to himself for all I cared. " That is not funny, " I mumbled, and Gabrielle raised her brow. " Well, I did not press on you yesterday, but today, you need to tell me what is going on." I shrugged my arms. That was the point. What was happening? " Okay, you don't have to tell me yet, but we will return to that. What do you want for breakfast?" Gabrielle offered me a questioning look, heading towards her kitchen. " Look at this," I said, making her stop. " You phone? Sorry to break it for you, but I have seen it before." " I highly doubt that you have seen something like this before, " I replied, and now she was intrigued. " What is it?" " I just received two million dollars," I
Alexander's POV My heart broke when I saw a taxi that took Millie away from me. When she left our apartment, I called after her, begging her to stay. I ran to the hall to find out the elevator door closing. I took the stairs, hoping I would catch Millie before she left the building, but I was too late. I caught a glimpse of her wavy hair in the back of a cab just driving away.After returning to the apartment, I trashed half of my living room. Everything here reminded me of her and the future I may have lost for good. Everything bore her touch and scent. Millie's absence was overwhelming. The woman of my life had left me, and I had no idea what to do now.She had every right to hate me because I could not muster the courage to be honest with her, as I should have from the start. I kept telling myself I had time to tell her the truth, but now the time was over. I tried to act like I always did in the business, keeping my head cool and considering the pros and cons. I kept finding exc
Millie's POV " A hidden camera?" I could not hide my hurt. Why would he do this? " Please, listen to me," Alex pleaded, but I was unsure if I wanted to hear what he had to say. I know you are mad at me." " Are you sure you know that?" My tone was sarcastic." I had no bad intentions," Alex ran his hand through his hair. This gesture made me turn on before, but now I could not look at him. I felt so relieved when I saw him in front of my cell. My knight in shining armour had come to save me again. I gave no thought to how he had managed to save me; I was glad I could go home safely with him. Alex was my rock after everything my family had done to me. He was the man I could always trust.But now, when all the emotions settled, I had to ask how he managed to get me out of the cell since my situation seemed hopeless. I was accused of a murder attempt. My whole family testified against me, and I had nothing to prove my innocence. And yet, Alex took me back home without any issues. That
