Cattleya’s POV"Excuse me?" I said, scoffing nervously.He stepped forward, our bodies inches apart. I could feel his warmth radiating from him.I gasped as he slowly unzipped my dress from behind, his eyes never leaving my face. "Turn around. It makes it difficult for me to undress you," he said.I turned around nervously. So this was it. I was truly giving in to the monster, and I had no idea how to escape.Was this some kind of sacrifice to find out the truth and bring down the Mafia Lord?I gasped softly as his soft hand touched the bare skin of my back."There you go. You can breathe better now," he whispered, pausing.I was startled to hear that! He had only unzipped the back of my gown. He then took off his upper clothes and trousers, diving into the bed. "Good night, wife," he said.I thought of something so dirty tonight, yet this man was so unpredictable.He hadn't even let me breathe to think that he was going to do something nasty to me.I gasped softly as I watched him c
Cattleya’s POVI gasped, unsure of how to respond. Was this all a dream? Could I escape his grasp?I bit my lip, unable to move, as I stared at him.He smirked, his eyes lingering on my bare thighs. “Why aren’t you spreading your legs, darling?”Sweat beaded on my forehead as he whispered, “If you’re not ready, just say so.”I bit my lip, feeling ashamed. I had always been bold and flirtatious with him, but now that he was waiting for me, I couldn’t move a muscle.He cupped my cheek, tilting his head to kiss me. But just as our lips were about to touch, my phone rang.He pulled away, his forehead creased in annoyance as he glanced at the phone. “Looks like the news has already spread…”I gasped as I read the caller ID. It was Mom!Then I immediately put the bathrobe on. I took a deep breath and stepped down from the sink. Carefully placing the phone to my ear, I said, “Hey, Mom…”“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, CATTLEYA SULLIVAN?! YOU JUST GOT MARRIED AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT IT!
Cattleya’s POVI wrapped myself in the bathrobe and scoffed, "No, not so fast, honey."Jaxon's face fell, and he stared at me as if I'd committed a crime.I couldn't help but chuckle as I adjusted the robe. "Thanks..." I muttered, turning my back on him."Thanks?" he shrugged his shoulders as he threw me an intense gaze.He's got me all flustered, but I can't let him see that.I was still sticky and wet, but I forced myself to stand tall and act calm.I slowly closed the door behind me, my body quivering with the weight of the moment.A wave of heat went through me, and my heart beat so fast.I needed a cold shower to calm down!As I entered the bathroom, I turned on the cold water, letting the icy stream cascade over my shaking body.I could still feel the lingering warmth of his touch, the memory of his tongue exploring my sensitive areas.I pressed my hand to my mouth, closing my eyes."I shouldn't be thinking like this," I scolded myself. "It's dirty and wrong."****I stepped out
Cattleya’s POVAfter dinner with my parents, I was left in a state of shock. Their expressions, a mix of disbelief and judgment, were so intense that I couldn't find the words. I stood up to grab the plates, hoping to avoid their gaze, but Mom insisted, "Catt, you don't need to do that. The maid will take care of it."I sat back down, glancing at Jaxon, who was staring at me intensely. This man... is crazy! Dad cleared his throat. "So, why did you marry our daughter without our consent? That's a very important question, Jaxon."Jaxon took a deep breath. "Well, Mr. Sullivan, I'm truly in love with your daughter. When I heard she was marrying Patrick Anderson, I knew I had to act. I didn't waste a moment."Vianne put her palm to her face while staring at Jaxon and her cheeks blushed, “Awww, my boss is so lucky to have you, sir.” I was about to dismiss Jaxon's idea, but it was too tempting to ignore. I mean, it was almost too good to be accurate, but it did make sense. Patrick propo
Cattleya’s POV"W–What?" He unbuttoned his pants and glanced at me with his sharp, magnetic eyes. "I said, don't make me repeat..."I tried to look away and said, "We are going home, Jaxon. We are thirty minutes away from your villa... what are you doing?" He smirked as he said, "If you can't make me cum in thirty minutes, I'm going to fuck you real bad in our bed tonight…" Oh, no. This is going real bad. I’m not going to lose my virginity to someone like him! My hand trembled as I placed it on his boxer, and I could feel his pet growing within. I carefully pulled it from his boxer, my heart pounding rapidly due to this being my first time touching a penis!Oh, damn. I bit my lower lip as I stared at it, and my mouth widened when I saw how big he was! He stared at me like I was fascinating to him, whispering, “Do you want to put it in your mouth?” I looked up at him and said, “Hell no.” "Why not? Try your best to please me, Catt. I won't laugh at you." He touched my lower l
Cattleya’s POVI held my breath, my eyes fixed on him. As I waited for him to move, he remained still in the missionary position. "I'm gentle," he assured me, but his words purely countered the sensation.I gripped the bedsheets, my tears silently streaming down my face. His movements felt invasive as if he were tearing me apart. And my heart pounded in my chest, even the pain was overwhelming.He filled me with his big cock, causing me to gasp and moan in pain. I couldn't even move; my body felt numb, and all of a sudden, he slowly moved inside me to ease the pain. My nails dug in so badly behind his back, but that didn't stop him from thrusting himself inside me."Ugh…" I groaned as the sensation gave way to pleasure.Each time we collided, I could feel the wetness in our bodies. A wetness that gives me pleasure and a strange feeling of wanting more and more. He opened his mouth and twirled it around my nipple as he kept moving inside and out. I don't know how many times I mo
Cattleya’s POVI couldn't help but smile as I asked, "Are you Nikolai Stone? The one I spoke to on the phone?"He nodded, gesturing toward a chair. "Have a seat," he said.I sat down, a smile still playing on my lips. He sat across from me, folding his hands on the table. "I've been following the case of your twin sister, Ms. Sullivan," he began. "It's a puzzling one, even for the police."Oh, yeah?" I said, opening my bag to show him some photos. But my stomach started growling, and he even heard it.I bit my lip and sighed, "Actually, I haven't eaten breakfast yet."His sharp jawline clenched as he smiled at me. "Oh, me too. Let's eat breakfast first."I stared at his piercing blue eyes and wondered why retired Detective Lew Maxwell had given me such a handsome detective. I should focus on my sister's case instead of thinking about why I had a young, handsome detective! Get a grip, Cattleya.He raised his hand to signal the waiter for our food. After we ordered, we chatted a little
Cattleya’s POV"He's my detective. I hired him for Ariella's case. I just need some answers, or else I'm going crazy. You know why I married you, and you get what you want from me. We're even, and there's nothing to lose anymore. I have to risk everything for my twin sister because no one… no one cares for her but me." I said, my voice trembling as I thought about Ariella.Jaxon sighed, "Well, if you think that the person who killed her is in my organization, you're free to investigate. But... you have to give me whatever I want, whenever I want it."I sighed nervously, staring at him. Before I could say anything, he leaned in and lifted my chin with his finger, then kissed my lips. He planted a sweet kiss and then put on his seatbelt. "We will have lunch today with the Morreti family. They want to meet you."I nodded, "So, we're heading there now?""Yeah, it's still 12. Lunch is at 2 PM. And when we arrive, we have an hour to do something." He said, a glint in his eye.My heart bega
Cattleya’s POV"Are you ready?" I asked, and then he held my hand tightly. He nodded nervously. I laughed, "Jaxon, this is not so you." "I'm just nervous, babe," he replied with a soft sigh.Thankfully, I had previously told them about their father, who had been away for many years and even showed them a photo of Jaxon. So, by the time they met him, they already knew who he was.Jaxon looked incredibly nervous as we arrived at the safe house. He seemed on the verge of running away. "What if they don't like me? What if they can't accept me?" he fretted."Have they seen your face before?" I asked calmly.He stood at the doorway, a mixture of excitement and apprehension evident on his face. "No, not yet. But I've already seen them. Gosh, they look so cute! They look just like me—""Hey! I'm their mother too," I teased, "You can't take all the credit!"Jaxon blushed. I wanted to laugh but gently knocked on the door with a smile.He sighed softly. "What do I do now? Will they be upset t
Cattleya’s POVI ducked down to cover my head. Looking around, I saw everyone had gone wild, fighting for survival as if their lives depended on it. Terror gripped me as I watched my husband battling fiercely, risking his own life."J--Jaxon!" He indeed chose me, and now he had to fight all those people trying to kill him. Within minutes, Vlad and his men arrived to help Jaxon in the battle.My eyes widened as I saw Vlad grab one of them and viciously crack their neck, and then a cruel smile graced his lips. He continued in this manner, dispatching each of them with chilling efficiency.I stepped back, searching for an exit, only to realize I had forgotten something. When I turned around, I saw Elise standing behind me, her eyes wide with shock.She hissed, "Don't you dare.." I scoffed, then walked towards her, grabbing her hand tightly and dragging her towards me. She struggled against me, but even though my body felt battered and bruised, I wouldn't let her go."Let go of me, bit
Cattleya’s POV"Oh, Cattleya, you are such a fool. How could you believe that I took your twins?" I heard Elise's voice echoing through the empty building.I never thought I would find myself in another life-threatening situation. My heart pounded in my chest, and then I took a deep breath, tried to steady myself, and looked up to see her. Elise stood at the bottom of the stairs, a vision in a crimson velvet dress, identical to the one I had worn on the night I chose revenge.A chilling smile played on her lips. She looked like a predator, poised and ready to strike.She turned around, a crowing glint in her eyes. "Do you like my gown? Oh, I almost forgot… it's quite identical to the one you wore the last time, but I think this one is better."I stared at her, my gaze unwavering. Giving her the death stare wouldn't achieve anything. I needed to think, to find a way to escape this deadly game, or perhaps even fight for my life.She walked towards me, stopping a few steps away. "But yo
Cattleya’s POVThe rain had finally stopped, and I was starting to feel a little peckish. I headed downstairs, planning to grab a snack in the kitchen. But as I approached, I heard a loud crash. My heart lurched. Three figures, masked and menacing, stood frozen in the doorway.Panic rushed through me. I reacted instinctively, snatching a heavy vase from the counter and hurling it at them. The vase shattered against the wall, glass raining down. Then, like a ghost, Jaxon appeared. His gun barked three times, and the intruders crumpled to the floor."Ow!" I hissed, wincing as a sharp pain shot through my foot. Jaxon asked, "Are you hurt?" "I'd stepped on a shard of glass...." Jaxon rushed towards me, scooping me up in his arms. "We need to go," he growled, carrying me out of the house. Gunfire erupted behind us. It wasn't just three men. It was an ambush!He threw me into the car, buckling me in before sliding behind the wheel. "They found us," he said, his voice grim."I know,"
Cattleya’s POVHe put me above the table and pulled himself closer to me. He kissed my lips, then my cheek, and finally my forehead, staring into my eyes with such longing. He breathed softly and whispered, "You know how much I've waited for this…"I gasped and asked, "What do you mean?"He just smiled at me and continued. He kissed my earlobe, then down my neck, showering me with tender kisses all over my body. It sent a tingling sensation through me that I craved so badly.Then he took off his gray T-shirt. I gasped as I stared at his muscular body. Damn, what a body! I lay my back on the table, and he leaned in, kissing my lips again. He pulled me so close that our mouths and lips smashed together, driven by the longing we felt for each other.Then he caressed my neck down to my chest, making me almost moan aloud. He put his hand on my lips and said, "Moan out loud, baby..."He continued what he was doing, caressing my breasts more and more. Finally, unable to contain himself any l
Cattleya’s POVI awoke to the rhythmic drumming of heavy rain against the windowpane. Never had I imagined life could feel this peaceful, this utterly serene. I couldn't believe the man I'd yearned for, longed for with every fiber of my being, was sitting there, watching me sleep. I blinked slowly, a yawn escaping my lips, and murmured, "Did I sleep too long?"Jaxon smiled, the curve of his lips a breathtaking sight, and then he replied, "You passed out."I nodded, my heart pounding against my ribs. And I sat up in bed; the world still felt surreal, a dream I feared waking from. My gaze darted away, unable to bear the intensity of his gaze and the unspoken emotions swirling between us. I just couldn't help but sigh in relief. Then he said, "I… I only know you're my wife because my investigator proved it to me. The photos on the screen, everything about it, prove that you're my wife."My eyes widened. If this was all it was, if his feelings weren't genuine if he only recognized me
Cattleya’s POV"Catt, you should sleep, and we will face it tomorrow, okay?" Vlad said, leading me to my room. I couldn't help but hug him, saying, "Thank you for helping me."He was a little stunned when I hugged him. He tapped my shoulder, "Everything will be fine. I'm sure of it.""Thanks, Vlad," I said, kissing his cheek and locking the door. I only did that so that he would think my mind wasn't in a storm and that I would fall asleep tonight without thinking about anything. I took a deep breath and glanced at the window. I needed to know what really happened to Jaxon. I couldn't just leave him there with a group of people who betrayed him.I knew Vlad was working on it, but I had to take action before it was too late.I slowly opened the window, and the wind greeted me. I placed my hands on the railing and slowly climbed down without making any noise. Then I bit my lower lip when I saw Vlad talking to someone on the phone in the living room. I tried so hard not to be noticed by
Cattleya's POVMr. Salvatore glared at me as if he'd seen a ghost, then immediately pretended like he didn't know me, "Who the hell are you?"I chuckled softly. "Oh, you're just like your daughter. She pretended she didn't know me too. Alright, let me present myself again. My name is Cattleya Sullivan. The woman who died three years ago."Suddenly, Elise interjected, "It's Dylan's birthday, and I don't want you to ruin my son's birthday..." then she glanced at Jaxon. "How could you bring this woman here to cause some chaos?"Jaxon ignored her.And amid the crowd, I heard Grace's voice shriek. My first thought was that she'd escaped the mental hospital, drunk and disheveled. "Cattleya! Oh my god, it's been a long time! Y—You're alive! I thought you were dead?!" Then she laughed at her own joke. "Oh my god, maybe I was just seeing things. Are you a ghost?"And that's when Jaxon interrupted her, "Grace, do you know her?"Anthony arrived to stop Grace from talking. "Grace, what the hell a
Cattleya’s POV“What?! I didn't do anything wrong! She strangled me to death, Jaxon! This woman hurt me! You can ask your son! He saw everything!" Elise said while pointing a finger at me.She really wanted Jaxon to believe her, but I guess I really know my husband the most. By looking at it, he doesn't believe a single word that Elise just said."Did I just warn you not to hurt my employee? She's my new secretary, for the love of God, Elise. You always make this so complicated. And please, don’t drag Dylan into this. Don’t be so childish…." Then she shook her head and said one more time, "Jaxon—""Stop this, Elise. Get out of Cattleya's room now. I'll deal with you later," Jaxon said, opening the door wider.Elise walked out, her feet thumping against the floor. She looked furious, but here I am, my heart so flattered that Jaxon didn't believe Elise. I am so proud of my husband. Oh, damn, there he is, staring at me. Jaxon took a step closer and checked my arms and neck. My heart wa
