2024-10-29 19:42:56Maxwell Barlow's POV
I look at the beautiful girl sleeping next to me, assuring me that last night was real and not a dream. I am still in a daze. I didn’t know if I wanted to kill or kiss Charles for last night. Who am I kidding? I should call Charles and thank him for doing what I would not have done. He saw right through me. I had felt an instant connection to Raya when she had walked into the spotlight. But I had convinced myself that my ex was the one and was not ready to move on even though it had been a few months since our breakup. Charles had tried to set me up with girls multiple times. Arranged double dates with friends of his girlfriend, tried to set me up with his friends, he had been my wingman and had tried to chat up many girls to try to get me to date again. I had never shown any interest. He had even taken me to brothels as a final resort and when I had not caught the bait h

Raya'S POV I find a pink corset dress in the wardrobe which fits me perfectly. I tie my hair into a high ponytail and walk into the hallway to find Mr. Barlow. He is standing by the stairs in an aqua blue suit. His light brown hair combed back. He smiles wide when he spots me and lets out a low whistle. I walk up to him and turn on the spot to give him a good view of myself in this dress. “You look gorgeous mon Cherie,” he says and kisses my cheek. I put my hand in his elbow and walk out of the door with him. It is 3 PM and the sunlight feels good. I look up at the early spring sun and soak up the warmth. It is a beautiful day to be out.&n
Sold To Maxwell Barlow Chapter 11 : Humiliated
Raya's POV I can see all the women in the store looking at Mr. Barlow longingly. I couldn’t blame them; he was just so handsome that nobody would be able to take their eyes off of him. My heart was doing cartwheels knowing that such a desirable man was mine. I had made love to him and would continue to do so. The women here must hate me. I know I would if I were in their place. A middle-aged lady walks up to me and asks me if she could help me with anything. “Yes, please. I am looking for some panties and bras for myself” I tell her with a smile. “This way,” she says and doesn’t bother to return my smile. I walk behind her feeling a little uncomfortable. She pulls out a few high-waisted panties in beige and a few beige-colored sports bras and hands them to me. “This should do,” she remarks. This was not at all what I had in mind. I wanted sexy lingerie with lace and matching panties so that Mr. Barlow would

MAXWELL’s POV My blood was boiling looking at this woman’s face. I could not comprehend how and why people like her got into the service industry. Maybe she was here just for the money but it gave her no fucking right to be rude to a customer. And she had dared to be so rude to my baby girl that there were tears in her eyes. The one girl who I wanted to make happy, the girl I was falling in love with. I was ready to rip Irma’s face apart if that was what it took to make Raya feel better. Raya didn’t know anything about me. She only knew that I was rich but she had no idea that I was a part of the Mafia. I didn’t want to scare her, maybe a part of me was afraid of losing her. Jerry hurried over with Irma’s details. She was dating the owner of a café across from the street. She had acc

Dylan’s POV I was going to drink until I pass out today. I am a free man. Finally! No more loans to clear, no more living in fear of the loan sharks knocking on my door. I ordered another glass of whiskey neat. I was already down a couple of pegs. The wife said she would prepare a lavish dinner for me but I told her not to wait for me. It was like shooting two birds with one stone. I was glad that Jack who had come to make us homeless that fated night had seen the potential in Raya. That girl always had been a pain in the ass. She was good for nothing and couldn’t even do a simple chore properly. I should be so thankful to Jack for taking her away from my hands. I was never going to get her back. It seemed like Judy didn’t care about what happened to her too. It’s not like Raya came out of her womb anyway. Her ex-husband already had a kid when he married Judy and had asked J

Raya’s POV A yacht! I was going to stay on board a yacht tonight. I couldn’t believe it. Mr. Barlow was really trying to make each and every moment special for me. Today was as good as any day could be. He made me feel like the happiest girl in the world when he had taken me to the carnival. Tasting new dishes while walking along the carnival, adventure rides and the beautiful sunset was just the cherry on top. Barring the bitter experience at the lingerie store, today was just perfect. I bet even Mr. Barlow was feeling very happy. He was smiling ear to ear today and there was no place I ever wanted to be but in his arms. I was ready to spend my whole life with him. Just when I thought the day couldn’t get any better he had brought me here on his beast of a bike. I was out of words. I stood there with my mouth and eyes wide open. &

Raya’s POV I felt the sun rays hitting my face and I just wanted to bury my face in the pillows and go back to sleep. I was having a beautiful dream of making love to Mr. Barlow after the beautiful dinner we had on the yacht. I opened my eyes with a start as soon as my thoughts went back to our dinner and our unfinished conversation. I noticed that I was wearing the same dress as yesterday but my shoes had been removed. I could not see Mr. Barlow beside me on the bed. Where was he? There were so many things I wanted to talk to him about and so many things I wanted to ask him. I walked out of the room without bothering to put on my heels. One of the crew members approaches me “Good morning ma’am. What can I get for you?” &n
Sold To Maxwell Barlow Chapter 16 : Prisoner
Raya's POV Dylan held me by my elbow and dragged me inside the house so hard that I stumbled and fell bruising my knees. What was wrong with Dylan? Why was he being so rude to me? I was aware that he didn’t share the bond between a father and a daughter but he had never been abusive towards me or physically hurt me this way before. “Dylan, please you are hurting me” I sobbed. “Get to your room and stay there. I want you to freshen up and look like a million bucks. Understood?” he barked ordered ignoring my pleas. “No. I have to get back to the port. Mr. Thomas would be waiting for me there. He won’t know where I am” I said standing up and dusting my clothes. “You are not going anywhere, sweetheart. Dylan is not letting his golden goose getaway. You are going to stay here and lay golden eggs for him whenever there is a need” Michael sniggered and Dylan joined in as if they were sharing some private joke that I was not privy to.
Sold To Maxwell Barlow Chapter 17 : Nightmare
Raya’s POV Mr. Rossi shuts the door behind him and I hear the door click from outside. Dylan must have locked it again. I am frozen to the bed with fear. I can’t believe I am stuck in this nightmare. I feel like I am going to puke. I want to scratch my whole body and scream as loudly as I can to get out of this nightmare. I just can’t imagine anyone else touching my body except Mr. Barlow. How selfish was Dylan to be selling me off to a man like Mr. Rossi? Even though I didn’t agree to be sold off last time I somehow conceded in the end because it was that or my family would be homeless. Now I was wondering if that was even worth it, Did I break my vow for these people? For Dylan? Where was my mom who had played the victim and got me to agree to sell my virginity? I didn’t see her or Gary anywhere. Was she aware that her husband was selling off her daughter to be a prostitut

Raya's POV It was my worst nightmare. I had been in terrible situations before and being forced to do something against my will was nothing new to me. My father making me swear that I would be a virgin was against my wish, Dylan trying to sell my virginity was against my wish, and Dylan trying to sell me to sleep with a man was against my wish too. So when Xander Benson's men are forcing me to go to Rossi and beg him to forgive me was against my wish too, it was worse than anything I had to endure before because now they were hurting the only man I had ever come to love. They were punishing Maxwell Barlow, the only ray of sunshine in my life. Max tried to fight them off, he tried to save me but he was outnumbered. Charles could do nothing either. A seven-foot-tall man hit Max on his head when he started protesting Xander Benson's decision and Max had fallen to the floor. My sweet Max! It crushed my heart to see him in such a terrible situation. I cried and cried but the strong hands
Sold To Maxwell Barlow Chapter 26 No Wedding
Max's POV Shit! We are in deep trouble. I look at Raya and her face is a worried mess. She knows it too. What have I gotten us into? Why the hell did Xander Benson have to get married to Rossi's daughter and why did he have to be a lecherous old man like this? Amelia looks like she wants to kill Raya and me. Xander Benson was her husband and she was his new bride which meant that we were in deep shit. A new married man is like a puppet in the hands of his wife. I knew that he would not hesitate to decapitate me right here if she would ask him to. I had no answer to his question that would satisfy him. "No Xander. Dylan is not dead" I tell him. "Does he look worse than Rossi then?" he thunders on. "No. I was busy trying to rescue Raya and he got away. I don't know where he is" I mumble. This would not have been a big deal if Rossi was not Amelia's father. This would probably be just a story about me rescuing my helpless d
Sold To Maxwell Barlow Chapter 25 Objection
Raya's POVMax lets go of my hand. My breath gets stuck in my throat. I can't scream even if I want to. It is a prank. This surely is a practical joke being played on Maxwell by his friends. But no one is laughing and Max is tense. The woman is sitting beside a bald man whose face is hard like it has been carved out of marble."Darling, what are you doing?" he says to the woman who objected."I object Xander. This wedding cannot take place. Our Max cannot get married to this woman who is a cheater. She has brainwashed Max. She will spell nothing but doom to Max and to our family if she is allowed to marry Max" she goes on. By now it is clear that the bald man is Xander Benson. The Mafia Kingpin and the loving way that Xander Benson is holding her hand and her gaze is proof that she is his wife."Amelia my love. What has gotten into you? It is Max, it is our Max that you are talking about. He is no one's puppy. He is my most trusted man along with Ch
Sold To Maxwell Barlow Chapter 24 : The Wedding
Raya’s POV The day is finally here. The day every girl dreams of, my wedding day. I had dreamed about this day from the time I was young like all girls do. While playing with my girlfriends when I was ten and to slumber parties but I had never in my wildest dreams imagined that this day will be coming so soon. Here I was in the most beautiful wedding gown I had ever seen, getting ready to be Maxwell Barlow’s bride. Another sleek silky wedding gown hung in the side of the room ready to be worn for the reception. He has managed to pull it all off in one day. The venue was Maxwell Barlow’s house itself. I glanced outside my third-floor window to see the pergola beautifully decked up with a floral arch. Pink peonies and lilacs formed the floral arch and a lilac-colored carpet had been laid out on the runway for me to walk on. Still, there was a sinking feeling in my stomach, amidst the nerves an

When I try to enter her room she stops me with her hand on my chest. “Wait for a while I get ready for you,” she says with a naughty twinkle in her eyes. “Okay” I groan reluctantly. The beast inside me is awake and there is no way it is going to be able to wait. I can feel my hardness pressing against the zipper of my pants and I sigh wondering how long it’ll be. After what seems like eons she taps on the do

Well, I did swear too that I would not be able to live without him but getting married sounds crazy. He is like an excited puppy and from the time I agreed to his proposal he is thinking about nothing but our marriage. After carrying me inside and making love to me. He slept like a baby. I felt comforted too being by his side and sleeping next to him. He was my safe haven, his arms felt like my home. At breakfast today morning he started telling me his plans of how we had a lot of things to do and so little time. Literally, we have just one day as his plan was to get married tomorrow.

Raya’s POV I am curled up in Max’s lap and I am so glad that he listened to me and agreed to let that man go. I know what Rossi did was heinous and I hated him for it. But I would hate myself more if I acted like an animal and punished him in a barbaric way for it. There is law and order in place for a reason and I did not agree with Max taking it upon himself to punish Rossi for what he did. He is used to being a mafia and does not believe in law and order but I just could not do it. I don’t know if he sensed it but somehow he had a change of heart and agreed to it and I was so grateful that he did. Would my life ever be the same again? I knew that I could never go back home. I didn’t have a home no
Sold To Maxwell Barlow Chapter 20 Rage
Maxwell Barlow's POV I drop Dylan’s collar and rush inside the house. I can hear Raya scream again and I am sure that someone is hurting her and I focus on the door from where her sound is emanating. I try to open the door and it is easy as the door is locked from outside. I unlatch the door and barge inside to notice that Raya is sitting on the floor naked and there are two welts on her back. An old man who is wearing only his underwear is standing in front of her and holding a belt in his hand. Raya turns to look at me when the door opens and as soon as she sees me she breaks down and runs towards me. I take her in my arms and hug her tightly while whispering in her ears. “I am sorry baby, I am so sorry” I try to calm her down between her sobs.

Maxwell’s POV I hated leaving her without even saying goodbye. But when Xander Benson calls I have to put everything on hold and attend to him. Plus she is out cold. Did I open my mouth too early about who I was? Did I scare her away for good? The tension was too much to take. Benson was back from the honeymoon and wanted to have brunch with his close ones so that his new wife too gets to know everyone better. I wanted to take my dear Raya with me to the brunch too but she was still sleeping and looked like she needed the rest. I tried waking her up but she was too groggy and kept muttering in her sleep. She was running a fever too. There was no way she was going to be fit to travel in a helicopter now and get ready for Brunch in time. We were to meet for lunch in Paris. I signed why couldn’t Xander wait until he was back here in New York to have brunch where all of us were.
