Chapter 4
Three weeks later...
"I told you not to do this, babe. It seems like I've just been wasting my time," Maxwell vents his frustration as he drives down the road. It has been three weeks since he and Ariel have been into this dirty thing, thinking that it'll eventually yield good results, but it turns out that he was mistaken. He has also slept with her on her ovulation, thinking that she'll eventually get pregnant, but nothing happened.
"Come on, honey... You don't have to get too worked up about this, OK? We're just going to go for a medical check-up and see what's wrong with her. I promise you that everything will be fine," Alicia holds his hand and assure him before she glances over at Ariel who has been in the backseat and watching the couple as she thinks about her life.
"Are you sure you're not having any unusual feelings, Ariel?" This is the same question that Alicia has been asking her for the past three weeks, and each time she asked her that, she'll tell her that there's nothing of such, which is the actual truth.
"No," Ariel shakes her head in denial, and disappointment laces up Alicia's face immediately. This is already taking much more time than expected. She thought that this will happen faster than she expected. She took her time to choose a young girl that'll be good for this job, and her friend who recommended Ariel, told her that she was really good, so why's this happening now?
Resting her head on the headrest and staring into space, many questions parade her mind as tears try to force their way out of her eyes, but she tries and fights them back. The thought of how miserable her life had turned in recent years, won't stop haunting her. To think that her mom doesn't even care about her again, is that how much she hates her?
Still lost in thoughts, the car suddenly pulls over in front of the hospital, bringing her back to reality. She sighs briefly as she forces herself out of the car, and trails behind Alicia as she strides down to the entrance door of the hospital, while Maxwell waits for them in the car.
A few minutes later in the doctor's office...
"I think running another test on her will be of help," The doctor concludes after Alicia told him everything.
"Alright, doc," Alicia replies to the doctor. The doctor calls one of his nurses to do the test on Ariel.
"You should get your result ready by the end of tomorrow. You can come over to get it," The doctor says to Alicia after Ariel returns to the office.
"Thank you. I'll be on my way now," And with that, Alicia strides out of the office with Ariel trailing behind her.
Later in the evening at Maxwell's mansion...
"Are you OK?" Max asks softly as he sits on the edge of the bed, and glances over at Ariel that's just sitting on the bed and hugging her knees to her chest. Her eyes look puffy, which means that she must've been crying.
"Hmm," She nods her head momentarily, finally raising her gaze to glance at him, but she turns her gaze away immediately. He has come to have sex with her again, and it hurts that she can't even say no to him. As much as she doesn't want to do this, just who the hell is she to refuse him when she already belongs to this family? Her fate is to be their breeder, and it'll be her doom if she decides to do otherwise.
"Look at me," His voice sounds through her ears, and she slowly raises her gaze to meet his charming eyes. For some seconds, she feels her pain going away slowly. His eyes always have the best sparkles to comfort her.
"Do you want to rest tonight?" He whispers, cupping her cheek in his palm as he stares into her eyes intently.
He has been feeling unusually pity for the young girl. She's just a young girl that never deserved any of the treatment that she's being given now. He has always felt the guilt each time he had laid her, the innocent look on her face makes him feel like he was torturing this girl, but it seems like he doesn't have a choice.
"I'm fine," She forces a smile, even when it isn't what she feels deep inside her. Maybe the constant sex will stop when she gets pregnant for him, so isn't it better to keep up with it for now, until she finally gets pregnant?
"Are you sure?" He asks to be sure, and she nods her head momentarily while having a weak smile on her face. She tries to fight back the tears that threaten to flow down her cheek.
Slowly, she lay on her back and stared up at the ceiling, as she waits for him to do the usual with her. Her heart misses a beat when she feels him crawling up the bed until he's hovering over her as he stares down at her with desires written all over him. He has grown fond of her over the weeks, but how's he supposed to admit it, knowing that it's wrong of him to do?
Slowly, he leans close to her and claims her lips, and for some seconds, she feels her breath seizes, and her heart stops beating. They have been to bed together a couple of times, but it's the first time that he's ever going to kiss her. Previously, he always go straight to penetrating her after teasing her for a few seconds to make her wet down there. This is literally her first kiss, and it feels like she's on top of the world.
His warm hand caresses her inner thigh as it crawls its way up to her forbidden area, and she gasps sharply, biting his lips that are still locked with hers. Her heart races rapidly, and she curls her toes while having her eyes shut tightly. The burning desire inside her keep driving her to the edge of craziness, and she can't help but want him. It's crazy how he always drives her crazy with his every touch, it's crazy how she can't even resist his slightest touch, although she never tried to. What is this feeling that's consuming her?
Still trying to recover from the sensation he's giving her, his hand suddenly cups one of her boobs, and she moans against his mouth as she feels his thumb teasing her nipple. She thought that his kisses turn her so on, but that right there is giving her a tingling sensation, and she can't help contracting her vaginal as she feels it craving him inside her.
Pulling from the kiss finally, he pulls back and gets rid of his robe, throwing it on the floor, as he leans over her and plants soft kisses on her neckline until he gets to her cleavage. His eyes marvel at the sight of her boobs, and as the crazy thoughts of what he's going to do to her flash through his mind, waves of guilt spur through him too as the realization hits him that his wife is right in their room waiting for him to return to her. He shouldn't be finding pleasure in another woman aside from his wife, but Ariel is driving him nut that no matter how much he tries to control himself, he always ends up being reckless and foolish in front of her.
"Hmm..." She moans softly when she feels his lips curve around her nipple, sucking her breast like a newborn that has been starved by his mom all day. She's enjoying every bit of it and doesn't want it to end. At least not soon.
After a few minutes of teasing her, he finally parts her legs and pushes his hard dick inside her slowly and carefully, so as not to hurt her. Once his length is inside, he thrusts in and out of her slowly, making sure to hit the right spot that'll drive her crazy, and it worked!A few minutes later, he falls weakly on top of her and breathes heavily after he had his orgasms...
Chapter 5The next day at Max's mansion... The early morning sunlight penetrates the room through the window, and Ariel slowly tilts her head to see that it's morning already. She sighs briefly and runs her fingers through her messy hair, groaning tiredly. Recalling the incident of the previous night, a smile lace up her lips. She has never felt so good all her life, and she enjoyed every bit of it yesterday. Looking to the side of the bed, she sighs briefly as an empty space welcomes her. Maybe if he were to be her boyfriend or husband, he would've been by her side and sleeping peacefully, and maybe she may have all the time to stare at his handsome face, but too bad that he can never be hers. He belongs to someone else. Realizing that she has to go to the hospital to get the test result, she quickly stands up from the bed and drags herself into the bathroom, while holding the duvet to her naked body. Her vaginal feel sore after the sex, but she can still manage to walk. After ha
Chapter 6The next day..."Are you sure about this?" Alicia asks for the umpteenth time as their car pulled over at the parking lot of Mr. Dante's mansion."You don't have to be nervous, babe. Everything will be fine," Max assures her, and she nods her head as they both hop out of the car. They stride to the entrance door and ring the doorbell. Moments later, the door pulls open, revealing a woman in her mid-sixties. She's Mr. Dante's housekeeper."Good day, ma'am Cleo," Max greets her politely, and the woman smiles at them warmly. Madam Cleo used to be Maxwell's nanny after the death of his mom years ago. After Max moved out of the house to build a family of his, the woman had to take on the job of helping Mr. Dante out with the house chores and also cook for him."Please come in," She opens the door wide for them, and they both walk inside. The sparkling neat large living room welcomes the both of them. It has been a while since they were last here and the place is only getting more
Chapter 7Two months later... Max has successfully taken over the companies and things have been moving smoothly for the past two months. Ariel still lives with them, but she hasn't been happy as the thought of eventually giving up her child keeps haunting her every second that ticks. It's a beautiful evening and the atmosphere is conducive for a balcony. Staring up at the dark sky, she sighs for the umpteenth time as she holds the rail. So many thoughts parade through her mind and she can't help another sigh that tears through her throat. The thought of her mom flashes through her mind, and a drop of tears slid down the corner of her cheek as she bites her bottom lip sadly. As much as she dislikes her for doing this to her, she still can't help but miss her. She has no idea why she was suddenly cruel to her, but one thing she will never forget is that there was a time that she lived her life for her, a time that her mom protected and sacrificed her happiness to make her happy. But
Chapter 8"You can't do that, Max. I disagree with you!" Alicia yells angrily as she barges into the room and paces angrily. "Come on, babe... You know deep inside you that I'm doing the right thing...""The right thing? Do you have any idea what you're about to do at all? This wasn't what we planned. What if something happens to the baby?" She asks angrily, crossing her arms on her chest, and he sighs briefly. "Nothing of such will happen, babe. I promise you that the baby will be fine, OK? I know why you're worried, and I assure you that everything will be fine, OK?" He speaks to her softly, as he places his hands on her shoulder. An awkward silence assumes the air as Alicia just stares at her husband with a suspicious look. She has been feeling like something is not right about her husband. She was worried that Ariel might eventually take her husband away from her, and now he's getting all worked up about her, what's going on? "Are you in love with her?" She suddenly asks out o
Chapter 9Staring at her reflection in the mirror, she sighs for the umpteenth time and tucks her hair behind her ear. It's going to be her first day at work today, and she feels awkward. She hasn't done this before, and neither does she know how it works. She never imagined that she'd ever get to work as a secretary. Of course, she knows that the job wasn't given to her because of her qualification, but she's still confused about why Max would do that. Even if he wanted to help her, he could've gotten her a job somewhere else, right? Taking a deep breath, she finally picks up her phone which Max got for her a couple of days ago, before she ambles out of the room, closing the door gently behind her. Her heels click on the floor as she walks along the hallway, and soon, she descends from the staircase. She looks extremely beautiful in her black suit which reveals her curvy shape. Her thick black long curled hair is falling freely over her shoulders with some strands resting on her for
Chapter 10Ariel Williams Dragging myself into my room tiredly, I plunge myself into the bed and sigh in relief. It was just my first day at work today, and I feel so exhausted. It was nice working in the company, and I'm glad that I'm already coping with the teachings that the system has been offering me. Whoever programmed the system must be a pro at this. I mean, it was so detailed and I didn't need anyone to explain anything to me. The sound of my ringing phone pulls my attention, and I glance at it before reaching out to it lazily. A strange number displays on the screen, and I pull a puzzled look as I wonder who must be the owner of the number. I was warned strictly not to converse with anyone aside from Max and his wife, so I never bothered to give any of my colleagues my number, even as one of them requested for it. I watch the phone ring and the call drops dead, but barely two seconds passed before the phone starts ringing again with the same number displayed on the screen.
Chapter 11A few hours later... Ariel tosses on the bed for the umpteenth time, as she forces her eyes open. She suddenly opens them again as she stares up at the white ceiling. It's almost midnight and she has been trying to get some sleep for hours, but it doesn't seem like it'll be possible, and she's already feeling frustrated. "Shit!" She curses under her breath as she sits up on the bed and leans against the wall as she runs her fingers through her hair. "Why can't I sleep?" She mumbles angrily to herself before she sighs briefly. She glances over to the wall clock and realizes that it's already 10:55pm, which means that she's supposed to have been asleep by now.Her stomach suddenly grumbles, and she clutches it tightly and yawns tiredly. Gosh! She's hungry again. She snorts angrily as she swings her legs down the bed and gets on her feet, dragging herself out of the room afterward. She's just three weeks pregnant and she's eating this much, she can't help wondering what it'
Chapter 12Three days later at Mr. Dante's company Mr. Dante is sitting behind his desk and has all of his attention on the desktop as his hands get busy on the keyboard. He's smart, hardworking, and dedicated to his work for a sixty-five years old man. He has been in the business for years and turns out that it has always been his first priority. The door suddenly bursts open and Max barges into the office, looking angry with a deep frown on his face. "What is the problem this time, Max?" Mr. Dante asks sarcastically, not raising an eyebrow to check out who just barged into his office. Of course, he was expecting him to be here after he got the news, so he's not surprised that he came to his office so suddenly. "What is the meaning of that, dad? Why did you restrict the account of the Villa? I need to work on a project there, and you know it. Why are you doing this? You tricked me into this. Why the hell do you never tell me that you didn't sign the contract for all the propertie
Chapter 83"Why are you doing this?" Alicia yells at the top of her voice as tears stream down her cheeks. Alicia has been untied, and they are both inside a room now."You are going to kill everyone, and take what belongs to them? Are you this much of a monster?" She yells again, but Dennis doesn't look like he is going to listen to her."We've got what we want now... Why don't we leave for a faraway place where nobody will ever be able to get to us? I am giving you a chance to do this now," Dennis replies to her as he hands her a pistol."If you want to live, go out there, and shoot them one after the other. Kill them all and let's leave here once and for all. This is the only chance you have, Jessica. If you turn your back on me now, I will take you as my enemy for real this time," He utters, and she gulps down the lump that forms in her throat as she stares at him. Her hand trembles nervously, and she gulps down nothing again. It's literally her first time holding a gun, and she c
Chapter 82"How dare you, bitch!" Dante yelled at the top of his voice as he sent a hot slap across Elisabeth's cheek. After looking for her everywhere, Viper was finally able to get her from the hotel where Max had hidden her all this while."I told you to never mess with me, but you didn't want to listen to me. How dare you!" He yelled for the second time, sending another hot slap across her cheek. Her mouth is already bleeding. She is supposed to be in tears, but she is rather smiling as she stares back at him with a satisfactory look on."Do you want to slap me again? Go ahead and do it. Do you want to kill me? Then just go ahead and shoot me right here... Don't forget that Maxwell and Alex will be coming for you. They won't stop, until they hunt you down," A smirk settles on her lips as she emphasizes her words, and he finally punches her hard in the face this time, sending her roughly to the floor along with the chair she was tied to.He squats in front of her and grabs her hair
Chapter 81Ariel's head hurts and she groans as she tries to open her eyes, but she gasps upon finding herself in a strange room. She tries to recall what happened, and where the hell this place is, and just like that, memories of the previous day came flooding her head, and she gasps. She slowly looks around the room, and that is when the realization dawns on her that she isn't the only one in the room, but with her dad, stepmom, and the two little girls that were supposed to be her stepsisters."Daddy... Daddy... Are you ok? Joann... Ella... Ma'am... Are you ok?" Ariel asks worriedly as she manages to sit up on the cold floor, realization dawns on her that they have all been abducted. Hearing a silent whimper behind her, she slowly tilts her head to find Alicia tied to a chair too. Wow! This is crazy."What's going on here? Why are we here?" Although she knows her question is really crazy, but she couldn't just help it."Oh, you are awake? I thought you died in your sleep. That woul
Chapter 80"What's going on?" Ariel muttered as she run her fingers through her hair crazily. She has been trying to reach everybody, but no one was answering her calls, not even Max or Alex. She gulps down nothing worriedly, praying nervously that nothing happens. It's past 10pm, and Max hasn't been back yet after he told her earlier that he was going to attend to something and come back immediately."Answer your call, please," She mumbles as she dials the number again, and when it didn't go through, she decides to call Alex, and maybe, who knows, his number might go through, but it was still the same result she got.Many questions run through her mind as she sinks into the bed, grabbing a handful of her hair in her hands as she drops her gaze to the floor. Could it be that something happened while she is here? Were they abducted? Those are the questions that keep running through her mind as she tries to gather her thoughts together, but it only ends up getting ruined since she can't
Chapter 79After hearing everything from Alex, her heart sinks into her stomach, her cheeks are wet from her uncontrollable tears. Her heart wrenches in pain at the thought of being betrayed by the man she so much loved with everything in her, but on a second thought, she feels like he was right about everything. If she truly loved him, she wouldn't have agreed to that in the first place. Does she even have any right to feel used when she already hurt Max so much? Does she have any right to be hurt with just this, when she has lived all her life hurting people?As she drags her feet along the lobby and heads to her room, her phone suddenly starts ringing and she rolls her eyes when she checks the screen and finds out that the caller is Dennis.She crashes against the bed as soon as she steps into her room, staring up at the ceiling with a pool of tears streaming down the corner of her cheeks.'There is no wedding for us, Alicia. Do you think I would still marry you after everything? Y
Chapter 78 Alicia POV I arrived at the hotel room a few minutes ago, and I haven't been really at peace. Did I make the right decision? Should I have worked with him? Those are the questions that keep lingering on my bed as I toss on the bed before I sit up. Memories of the past came flooding my mind, and for the first time, I feel guilt wash through me. Thinking about Max makes me go crazy. I feel like I was being unfair to him. Although he later changed, which was all I ever wanted, but still, it didn't change the fact that I hurt this emotion. I know this is too sudden, and you must think that I'm really crazy, but trust me, it's nothing of such. I'm just feeling remorseful for my actions in the past. I don't want to end up like Dennis, and with the way I'm going now, I might end up clouding my heart with hatred like him, and end up tormenting people, which is the last thing I would never want to do in my life. I need to make things right. Besides, I've always lived a s
Chapter 77Silence creeps into the atmosphere as Alicia stares back at him, shocked at his confession. Is he trying to pull a fast one on her or what?"There's nothing bad in wanting to spend time with my daughter, right?" He breaks the awkward silence, but she only stares back at him with many thoughts running through her mind.As her eyes roam the entire restaurant, the realization dawns on her that they are the only ones in the restaurant."Oh, sorry if that came as a shock to you. I booked the restaurant for the time we will spend here. I didn't want someone to disturb us," He breaks into her thoughts as if he was reading her mind, and she sighs briefly before she turns her gaze to look at him with a blank expression on.Memories of years ago flood his mind as he stares at his daughter that is all grown now. How they would go to bed without food, how they suffered, and how he watched her grow with another man, calling him 'dad' when he was supposed to be the one she calls that. Th
Chapter 76"What is the meaning of this, Laura?" Dante's eyes widen in shock as he stares at his wife who just slapped him. He had just come here to see her since she was sick for the last few days, only to be welcomed with a slap.Tears stream down Laura's cheeks as she stares back at the man she has been with for the past thirty-three years of her life, the man she has spent her whole life loving, unknown to her that he has been lying to her. Just the thought of it was messing her head and driving her nuts. Laura and Dante have been together for thirty-five years. Three years of courting, and thirty-two years of marriage. She has always thought that this man was the most faithful man any woman would want to spend the rest of her life with, she thought he was the best man in the world, well, he was, up until the last few hours she found out what this man has done. It breaks her heart to know that she has been fooled and used for the past years that she has been with him."Are you ok,
Chapter 75I toss on the bed for the umpteenth time, trying to get some sleep, but I can't even bring myself to do it. The scenario from earlier today is still stuck in my head, and the more I try to get it off, the more I find myself thinking about it, and it's really driving me nuts. "Is he kidding me?" I scoff as I sit up on the bed, ruffling my hair that I already parked inside my cap, allowing them to fall carelessly on my shoulders. The room is air-conditioned, but I feel so hot and just feel like I need fresh air, but I know that I don't need it. I may feel cold if I decided to step out of the room now.It bothers me to think that Alex has been playing me, but I also don't want to conclude that it's what I'm thinking. What else would it look like? He was obviously playing you. I also try to assure myself that it's not what I'm really thinking, but fuck! My head is so messed up that I can't even gather my thoughts together.Pushing all the thoughts away, I lay back on the bed,
