ElviraFearfully, I gulp down saliva, my eyes darting around the lonely, slightly dark corridor. "Man up and walk down that hallway, Elvira!" I tell myself with a shaky voice. I make up my mind to go down the corridor to Demetrius's room.I can feel my hands shivering uncontrollably. Gulping down saliva, I raise up my leg, ready to start walking, but suddenly, I hear footsteps approaching me—really fast! "Who the hell is there?!" I yell, my eyes darting around the place. The footsteps grow louder and louder, until they are almost upon me. I panic, my heart pounding in my chest. I frantically look around for something I can use as a weapon and spot a vase on a nearby table. I grab it, dump the flowers on the ground, and raise it in a defensive stance.I hear the footsteps grow loud with each passing second. Finally, a tall, mysterious shadow appears. "Ahhh!!!" I yell, closing my eyes and raising the vase above my head. I run towards the source of the footsteps, ready to strike who
ELVIRAI widen my eyes in shock as I stare at Demetrius walking into the room with elegance and an aura that screams power and intimidation." I..I am truly sorry," I apologize, my head hung low in embarrassment. I did not expect him to hear what I had said about him.He takes slow strides towards the bed, I look up to take a peek at him only to meet his piercing gaze on me.Immediately, I lower my head. I can feel my heart racing uncontrollably. I am a little bit scared because I am not aware of what he has in mind.I can hear the sound of boots against the ground, they are coming closer and closer until they stop right in front of me.I squeeze my eyes shut, bracing myself for whatever is about to happen."Elvira," he calls, his voice reverberating through the room. I know he is right above me.Slowly, I open my eyes to meet his gaze. Feeling scared and intimidated, I quickly shut my eyes, not wanting to stare at him."Elvira," he says, his voice deep and resonant. The sound of my n
ELVIRA"Thirdly," he growls, taking slow strides towards me.With every step he takes, my heart pounds harder in my chest. His eyes never leave mine, his gaze intense and focused. I can feel the heat of his gaze burning into me, searing through my skin.His muscles flex with every movement, each one a testament to his strength and power. My body responds to his intense gaze."Thirdly," he says again as he stands above me, still not breaking from his intense gaze.He twirls the wine in his hand, playing with it. He lifts it up and takes another sip, savoring every taste. Finally, he speaks up."Thirdly," he snarls, "being under my roof as my contracted bride comes with a price you have to pay." A sly smirk plays on his lips as he says those words."Name it," I say boldly, matching his energy. " I am ready for anything""Brave bitch," I can hear him growl under his breath, his eyes glistening with mischief."Thirdly, you would not leave my house without my permission," he says as his ex
ELVIRAI stand frozen for a few seconds, trying to process what has just happened. Then, with a heavy heart, I slowly sit back down on the bed. I bite my lip to keep myself from crying, tears threatening to spill from my eyes. I can't believe how my life has turned upside down in just one day. I woke up this morning, never expecting that by nightfall, I would be in a strange man's bed. It's surreal and unsettling, and I can't wrap my head around it."You are not to talk back to me or oppose my decisions, Elvira," Demetrius says, taking a last sip of wine from his glass.He turns to face me, his movements slow and calculated. He carries himself with an air of arrogance, his head held high."You don't have the right to question me, Elvira," he says, his voice cold and commanding. "Do you understand?"I hang my head, pain evident on my face. “Do you fucking understand, Elvira?!!!” I hear him roar, this time around he sounds very angry. The air around us grows suffocating and thick. "Y
ELVIRAI-I-I stutter, not knowing what to say. “I can be very.. jealous and protective of what belongs to me, Elvira," he said again, whispering into my ears. I gulp down saliva, trying to ignore the effect he is having on me. “Is-is that not like the basic thing one should know before entering a contract marriage?" I ask with an inaudible scoff. Before entering into this contract marriage, I had already prepared myself to face whatever that was going to come my way without any complaints. I knew a contract marriage was like a cage that restricts one from doing what she wants. “Aren't you one intelligent little wife?" I hear him ask while he plants soft kisses on my neck. His lips then trail down my collarbones, kissing and nibbling on them like they are his favorite candy. “I have to say, little wife," he growls. “You look really hot today." I can feel my cheeks flush in embarrassment and disbelief, Demetrius has just complimented me! With every touch on my skin, I can feel
ELVIRAI gulp down saliva as those words leave his mouth; I find myself trembling as my heart races in my chest. “Do you understand, little wife?" He snarls.I nod, "Yes."My heart pounds in my chest—this was just not what I had expected my love life to be. He leans in closer, his hot breath caressing my collarbone.I cannot deny the heat that is building inside. I am not only frightened but also exhilarated, and my body hums with anticipation.Demetrius leans in, his lips brushing my cheek. "And finally," he whispers, his breath hot against my skin, "you would not betray me in any way or else..." he doesn't bother completing his words because I already know what he is going to say."I know, there would be consequences,” I cut him short.He lifts his head and looks into my eyes, he has an amused expression on his handsome face."Hmm.." he hums. "Good little bitch!”"Mhmm,” I nod, trying to ignore the pleasurable sensation I feel whenever he addresses me as a little bitch. It sounds v
ELVIRA"Good girl!" He says, his voice deep and raspy.His hands trail from my tummy down towards my thighs.Instinctively, I clasp my thighs together. He's about to touch my honeypot! This is a place no one has touched me before, and if he succeeds in gaining access, he'll be the first man to have explored down there.Come to think of it, the reason my fiance could have left me at the aisle on the day of our wedding must be because I didn't want to have sex with him. He's a sex freak, I know that he's fucking other women even when we're engaged, but I don't want to have sex with him just yet. I tell him to exercise patience until our wedding night, then we can have as much sex as we want in any position of our choice. But maybe he became so fed up on the last day and decided to quit, thinking I might also refuse to give him sex on our wedding night."No one's ever touched you there before, right?" I hear Demetrius whisper into my ear, jolting me back to reality."No... no sir," I stu
ELVIRAAfter what feels like an eternity, he finally speaks up, his hot breath caressing my skin, making me shiver with anticipation.“ You said you have questions right?" He asks. “ Yes sir" I reply, silently relieved that he is not mad at me. “ Ask your questions but keep my rules in mind, don't cross your boundaries and don't irritate me!" He spits. He sounds as though he is speaking to one of his clients. “ Understood sir!" I reply, taking a deep breath. I keep quiet, trying to organize my questions in a way that would not defy his rules and after I am done, I finally speak up, trying to sound confident. " If I am not mistaken Sir, your first rule said that I would not leave your house without your permission, right?” I ask. " Yes, go on” he replies as he nonchalantly strokes a note on the keyboard. I gulp hard, trying to shake off the nervous feeling that is building inside me. I am sitting on his thighs with my back facing towards him, which makes it impossible to see his
ELVIRAThe notification that popped up on my phone made me feel broken and helpless.“Oh my God," I cry as I bury my face in my palm and literally cry my eyes out. I was not expecting this kind of news when I was in a happy mood with Demetrius.“What happened, Elvira?" Demetrius asks, but gets no response from me. I am too broken to reply to anyone.“I said, what happened?!" He asks again, this time his tone heightened above normal.He then stands up from where he was seated and crouches down to my height.“What is wrong?" He asks, his tone surprisingly soft.I look up to meet his gentle gaze with my teary eyes; I try to say something, but only more wails and sniffles come out of my mouth.I look down at my phone and then at Demetrius, and almost immediately, he grabs my phone and looks at the content that had upset me earlier.“What?" He mutters as he furrows his brows in confusion. "A birthday invitation?" He asks.I look up at him with tear-filled eyes and shake my head. It is not
ELVIRA"Oh my God," I mutter as I sit down. My mind is racing with endless thoughts that are not the answer to my question.I take a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart. "Calm down, Elvira, calm down," I close my eyes and mutter to myself and after some seconds, I begin to calm down.But suddenly, just as I calm down, I suddenly hear footsteps in the office and immediately, my eyes fly open with shock and fear.Standing in front of me is the almighty Demetrius, he looks at me with a slight frown on his face.I swallow hard and wriggle my butt on the chair with nervousness, is he mad to see me?!"What are you doing here?" His cold, deep voice suddenly rings out as he walks towards his seat."I..I..he.." I stutter, not knowing how to answer his question. At this point, I have lost my voice and I don't know what to say. I am not thinking straight right now, I am too scared to speak."Calm down now, Elvira," he says as he starts without sparing me a glance as he starts operating
ELVIRA"Bake him a pie and he is all mine?!" I replay in my head. "Hendrix, are you serious right now?" I ask."Trust me, sister-in-law," he says with a serious tone. "I'm not trying to pull your leg right now; I want to help you, so I'm being very serious.""Jesus!" I exclaim, much to my surprise, knowing his knees is like a huge relief to me. At least I know now Demetrius is a human being."Now, let's get baking, shall we?" Hendrix squeals, and I nod, excited to get this done.We then get baking seriously, our hands moving faster than our brains."We need to hurry, put in your best, sister-in-law," Hendrix says. "Bake it with love, okay?"I sneer; Hendrix is a clown. "I know," I laugh."Bake it with your heart! Your blood, your sweat! Your tears!" He says again with a dramatic tone."Yeah, I know…" I laugh. "I'm also going to add my period blood to the pie too, right?""That sounds like a brilliant idea, sister-in-law," he exclaims. "Now you are a genius!""I know," I smile.After a
ELVIRA"Tell me, Hendrix, what did she do to him?!” I ask.“She… she..." Hendrix tries to say, but he pauses and shakes his head as he averts his gaze.“She did what?!" I ask as I shake him on the arm, my inquisitive side starting to kick in.“It's… it's a long story, sister-in-law,” Hendrix sighs. "But trust me when I say this, very soon you will find out about everything, and you won't be kept in the dark again.”I purse my lips into a sad pout, although I am not satisfied with Hendrix's answer, it gives me a little hope of finding out the truth someday, even if it is not now."Alright,” I nod. "But, what are we going to do about my giant crush on Demetrius?!” I ask, my frustration piquing.Hendrix winks at me with a teasing smile. "Tell me, sister-in-law, is it a giant crush, or do you really love him?” He asks. “Which is it?"“I...I... it..." I stutter, feeling shy and embarrassed. I can feel butterflies flutter in my stomach as I think about Demetrius, which makes me kind of exci
ELVIRA“It's… it's about Demetrius,” I finally reply, and this time as I exhale deeply, I want to calm down my racing heart before saying anything.“About Demetrius?” Hendrix repeats as he furrows his brows with confusion. He suddenly becomes interested in what I am saying and shifts close to me, raising a concerned brow.“What about him, sister-in-law?" He asks with interest and worry. “What did that bastard do this time around?" he asks, gritting his teeth in anger as his fists form into a ball, as though he is out to knock all of Demetrius's teeth out.His actions are funny, and I let out a chuckle, shaking my head with amusement. Although I know he is trying to help, he is being funny.“Hey… hey…” I laugh, shaking my head with amusement. "Hold on, big tiger, Demetrius didn't hurt me," I explain.“He didn't?" He asks as his face flushes with embarrassment. “Oh..." he mutters as he bursts out laughing. “I thought he did something bad to you. I was literally ready to burst open his t
ELVIRA“Tsk…” I click my tongue as the urge to smack him on the head grows within me, but I hold back."Don't let me smack your damn sense out, Hendrix!” I warn."Hey... hey..." he laughs, shaking his head with amusement.“Sister-in-law, don't you think I deserve to know, even if it's just a little bit?" He asks."I've been a good boy lately, sorry you think?” He asks with a wink.I shake my head disapprovingly. "No, you haven't,” I reply. "You are an annoying leech who won't let me be! Ugh!”"I love you too, sister-in-law,” he pouts, and I smack him on his head.“Stop being goofy,” I roll my eyes."Tell me, please," he purses his lips into a pout. “Did you and Demetrius… you know… yesterday night?” he winks.I understand what he meant; Demetrius was so crazy!“Of course not!” I roll my eyes. "Nothing happened between Demetrius and me yesterday. Trust me,” I huff, folding my arms across my chest.“Oh…” he says with a sad pout. "That's so sad.”"Yeah, so leave me alone!" I warn.“Nah…
ELVIRA“I am glad you are okay," Hendrix says as he gives out a light smile. I furrow my brows with confusion. Why is he sounding so cocky?“Okay…” I reply. "Me too.” "I am very happy you are getting along with Damien; I can see some changes in him, ones I haven't seen for a long time now," he says again, and I smile. “How do you mean?” I ask. "Well… I can see some changes in him. He is starting to loosen up to you, and he is no longer that grumpy and bitter all the time," he explains as both of us walk towards the chair and sit down. "Wow…" I mutter. “That... that is a lot." “No, no," he shakes his head. “I'm being very honest here, sister-in-law," Hendrix says. “I'm being very serious. You are doing a good job, and whatever you are doing, I advise you to keep it up." My cheeks flush at his words as a blush creeps up on my face; Hendrix sure knows how to say nice things. "Thank you,” I reply with a genuine smile. “But honestly, I'm not really doing much." “You are, sister-in
ELVIRAI remain in that position for what feels like an eternity, thinking about literally everything after I have composed my emotions. I drag myself up, although I am reluctant to start my day's activity.I sigh deeply as I walk towards the bathroom to have my bath and probably wash away my sorrows. After about thirty minutes, I finish taking my bath and preparing myself for the day.I then drag myself down to the dining hall to have my breakfast because my stomach is already grumbling with hunger.I walk down the hallway straight to the dining room, and once my feet step inside, I am met with two men's faces; one has his usual poker face on, and one has a jovial smile plastered on his face.“Sister-in-law!" Hendrix calls with a jovial smile as he signals for me to come over.“Good morning," I greet as I flash a brief smile before taking my seat near Demetrius. I tilt my head to meet Demetrius's gaze. “Good morning," I greet, and he nods slightly before shifting his gaze back to his
ELVIRAI flutter my eyes open, hoping to see the bright rays of the sun, but instead, I am greeted with darkness.I yawn and try to get up, but suddenly, I feel something heavy on me. Instantly, I become alarmed and want to scream out with fear – where am I and what the hell is on top of me?Slowly, I peek down to meet a sleepy Demetrius; his hand is snaked around my waist, making it impossible for me to break free from his grip.I widen my eyes with surprise as I feel my heart flutter. This is the first time I have ever seen Demetrius sleep! And he looks so cute! I just feel like snuggling him and planting kisses on his face!A subconscious smile spreads across my face, my gaze not leaving his sleeping face. His eyelashes are so cute as they are closed, and his slightly opened mouth as he sleeps just seems to enhance his cuteness! He looks so cute while asleep, and it is impossible to believe that this is the same ruthless man when awake. This man is just so perfect in whatever he is
