“Oh really! Is that the new tactic? Well, you’re so bad at playing so get your fvcking ass off my bed.” Julian raised his voice, as it cut through the silence in the cold mansion sharp and cold, reminding me of the hostility of my fate as his lips curled into a smirk with every given opportunity.
“Oh Julian, not today please.” I shrugged, turned to the other part of the bed and pulled the blanket over my body when suddenly, Julian jumped over the bed, yanking me off where I laid on, I lost my balance and tripped over from the bed to the floor. I let out a sharp cry once my butt landed on the ground and even while I tried to stand up, Julian gripped me roughly by the arms and kept on dragging me to the bathroom floor.
“Julian please.” Now, tears trickled down my cheeks as the pain increased but he wouldn't listen until I agreed.
Slowly, I picked myself off the floor with much effort, swear broke on my forehead and I just couldn't endure the pain down there as I walked. I was left with no choice but to agree.
Julian grew impatient as his eyes darted to the wristwatch on his hands and then to me who found it difficult to climb the bathroom. He walked towards me, I trembled, taking a balance by the wall when he yanked my hands off and dragged me into the bathroom and without warning, he switches on the cold shower. I shuddered, holding onto my breath as I wrapped my hands around my body. I was still in my clothes, I hesitated to take them off but with his eyes burning on mine,
“Five minutes to meet me in my car.“ He spelt out with so much authority. I shrugged as I took off my clothes and had my bath. As the water touched my body, tears rolled down my eyes.
This was never the married life I dreamt of — not cold sheets and stares, to crown it all, not some cold commanding husband.
I sobbed for quite some minutes and once his voice replayed in my head.
“Five minutes.“ I turned off the shower and hurried back to the bedroom. There was already a dinner dress on the bed. Its greeness gives some strange coolness to the heat that boiled in me.
I dressed in silence but the clothes was skinny and revealing, exposing my thighs and cleavage. I couldn't wear that to a public event. I took my phone and place a call to him .
“Julian, I can't wear this to the gala. It's too revealing.“ I complained and after a brief silence from the other end, all I heard was a scornful laughter that sent me trembling in the bedroom. I retreated in my steps as though he was here.
He switched to video.
“Let me see.“ I took the phone off my ear and placed the cameras so it did portray the wear just as it was.
“Not bad hun, just a description of who you truly are.“ I shifted uncomfortably as I fiddled with my nails, I was almost offended, but I just couldn't show it, instead I bit my lips as if accepting defeat..
“Now, join me here!“ He roared in anger, his voice ringing so loud in my ears that I closed them with both hands, shutting my eyes in fear.
The drive was cold as unspoken words hung through the dead silence and once we finally arrived at the hall, Julian halts abruptly and slams his lips against mine. I stayed still at first but his sudden desire was off, he wasn't gentle like the last time. He kissed me rough and took off the seat belt from his chest turning on to me as he cupped my face and kissed me so aggressively.
I never reciprocated or planned to, instead, I wriggled under his grip, but he wasn't having it easy. He pressed the car adjustment and the seat went slow, enough as if I laid down. He crossed over to my end, unbuttons his shirt with so much speed as if he were a lion that couldn't wait to devour his prey.
“Julian, please I…” I tried to say but instead his lips on mine kept me breathless as he forced his tongue to explore in every side of my mouth, while he took his hands to my breast and squeezed them.. my voice swallowed in his mouth. I should've resisted and fought harder but..
“Ummhh ..aishhh.. jul..“ I said in between moans. I never wanted him but right now, my sex urge grew, I reciprocated the kiss and it was just us both lost in our lustful and burning desires. My body betrayed me and I was torn between lustful desires.
And then I gave in, not out of love of just lost, but because this — was actually better than his dominant self. I grew impatient and turned him over, taking off my dress till I was without a bra and he, I took off his waist belt and threw it to the back seat as my hands trembled while I unzipped his trousers.. he helped me get down there faster as I was stuck with my gown. As I kissed him with no pace, one of his hands savored my round full breast and the other he sucked it, his saliva cooling the sensation I felt there. My senses grew wide, I couldn't stop, I ran my hands on his chest as he turned me over — almost recklessly, but now, I didn't care.
I let him fvck the hell outta me,
“Ah fvck..hard… harder, Julian.“ I pressed on, lost in this unexpected intimacy when suddenly he stopped.
“What's wrong Julian?“ I stared confused as I spoke almost breathlessly.
He stood up from me, and now, the Julian that was just lost in this endless lust we had for a few minutes returned to the same cold man from home.
“Dress up.. we're going in.“ He said in a cold tone that sent chills down my spine. I trembled as I wore my bra and then the dress.
He stepped down from the car and turned to the other side, to open the door. No one spoke a word, it was just me conflicted and he — I never knew what always went through his mind.
He spread out his arm like some fairytale priest, I frowned and took it as we went on.
As we stepped in, I adjusted my dress, my hair was already a mess and there wasn't much to do so I only reapplied the lipstick I wore to a much neater one.
With cold stares on us, and whisperings in each corner of the hall, I just knew this gala wasn't for champagne and smiles, the cold vibes breathed competition despite unspoken words.
Sienna PovI walked in with a very timid composure as everyone stared at us. It was already much discomfort it brought but still they kept pointing at my exposed yet tight fitting. I knew just exactly might be running their mind and I gritted my teeth almost cursing Julian to jail for letting a simple dress misrepresent me in the public. With every step we took,my inner self screamed at me to yank his grip off my arm as both were interlocked. I hissed, frustration in my mind as I raised an eyebrow at a bulky guy who came for a handshake. Julian tapped me by the waist as if commanding I accord the man. With much disdain, I shrugged left with no choice than to obey,“hi.” I muttered, swallowing the lump in my throat,“Mr Philip. It’s a pleasure meeting you at the charity gala.” I smirked, not at his gestures to the man but the pretense he built in an instant, his usually cold face was replaced with a wide grin one would mistake for a smile. The other reciprocated in the gesture and lef
A WHORE OR A WIFE??JULIAN'S POV. I slammed the door open letting rage cloud every bit of my mind as I wrapped my hands tight around Sienna's wrist. “Julian… please.“ She pleaded but I would not even search for any glint of tears or sorry in her eyes. I raised my shoulders eyes, increasing my pacing as I dragged her off — to the bedroom. I felt my finger bore onto her skin, probably tearing her off but I failed to care, once I opened that bedroom door, I didn't think twice until I pushed her with aggressiveness onto the bed. She failed just for a day outing — throwing herself off to men just as she pleased and just that act had cost me my contract. If only we were not distracted by the conflict outside, I would have bagged a contract deal with Mr Philips after enduring all the stench from his mouth. Just that reminder fueled a rumble in my stomach, irritation finding its way in. “So, you don't just go to clubs and sleep with several men, you are also promiscuous at public places.“
FOR THE LIFE INSIDE ME.SIENNA'S POV.I had not only gotten sexed with away from desire but his words stung me. I took the rough sheets where he had just made out with me and brought them to my nose. Not to sniff on them like lust or any, but the smell made my heart clench, tears welled up in my eyes threatening to fall and although I forced them not to, they did. I couldn't help it, I could not have. The room went silence once Julian slammed the door shut behind him, and all that hung on was not just eerie silence but cries. He stormed out of the bedroom not looking back or stopped once, and I sat, muffling off cries. Not just cause he raped me, but my baby was uncomfortable. Every thrust he gave, it was as though my womb shifted and that made me cry loud but what could I say?That I was pregnant and didn't know who the father of the child was. I wailed, tears gathering up in my eyes as if the eyeballs would fall to the ground. 'My child must think I'm already a bad mother.' I let
HOME IS NOT PEACE. JULIAN'S POVShotttttssssssss!“ I was already overly mad and this one wouldn't add more to it. “More please.“ I ordered more rounds, drowned them, but her name never left my mouth. It went on and on, stuck in my mind. I took out my phone, its screen lighting up to my face. “Find out everything about her. Sienna.“ I instructed and hung up the phone, I needed no response from the end as I knew, no one dared to defile my commands. Once I hung up, I reached the conclusion. Wasn't I already falling for this person??I hissed, waving it off, she was all about chaos And love… was a boundary here. I dared not to cross and if I did…I either had to choose to accept or receive. I took more bottles and shots… I had reached my limit but I never stopped, I kept on requesting for more shots as I drowned myself down in it, mind clouded in guilt. I crouched down before eventually resting my head against the counter and that way, I passed out, darkness engulfing me in its em
MY LITTLE SECRET. SIENNA'S POV. Since the night Dominic stepped in, I never laid my eyes on Julian. He never came home except on nights and that baffled me just because he would always come home drunk. I couldn't approach Dominic because of our encounter, but tonight, while I paced the room, I made up my mind to meet up with him. After all, Julian was my husband and it never mattered the circumstances. “Huh.. I'm sorry to bother you. Is anything going on at work? My husband hasn't been taking my calls and when he comes home I don't even see him till dawn after he comes back late at night.“ I muttered in a soft, breaking tone. I was about to tear up but I guided it as it was all the pregnancy emotions and hormones that portrayed me this week. Dominic burst into a rail of dry laughter, I could hear it — scornful, I could feel it, hysteric and sarcastic. He teared off in laughter again. “Husband?“ This wasn't a question but a tease that struck my nerves ; even hard. I ignored his
BOARD REBEL. JULIAN'S POV. I had not just already made a mistake with the wrong investor, even the board was already against me in terms of decision making. “This isn't just some ponzi legacy, this — it's a company with People's interest and wealth at heart.““Signing a deal without reading the contract agreement? What could I be thinking?“ This one let out a dry chuckle and retreated once our eyes locked. I rubbed my temples, “We'd rather vote for a leader who is responsible and accountable, we shouldn't lose any interest in profits or even our shareholders, the stakes are reduced.“ An old man said. I sat, carefully taking in their complaints and attitude. When it comes to work, I was never biased or ever saw myself as a leader but just one of them. And now, it was clear enough, someone here was dishing out information to another party as it was only discussed from within the board where Mr Philips would be and not even the employees knew. So now, it was an impostor? I didn't
SUSPICIONS. JULIAN'S POVThe week has gone with meetings upon meetings, calls for clarity, teaming up with employees and even holding board meetings too consistently, both impromptu and planned. And now just this board meeting was already a disaster. There was no trust or even patience. The company was already losing funds as payment for researches and even the shady deal signed got their way to exhorting the company's recent gains. Numbers didn't lie, the report showed clearly the company was bleeding money from every corner that I knew and did not as presented by the financial team. I clenched my fist to my side, jaw tight in frustration as I stepped into the quiet street with gaze darkened except from the sky outside that was painted with already fading purple but it did nothing. It was still what it was. I was losing the company. The whispers from the board room replayed in my mind, the hints of sarcasm in that voice, their almost void emotion that were so taunting on its own
MY WOMB, HIS WEAPON. SIENNA'S POV. The room was dead silent and the only sound from it was the clock that ticked loudly. I paced the room as my fingers curled around my phone, my thumb hovering over Dominic's message: Tomorrow. Your first step.Every word is lacing as a threat. I sat at the edge of the bed, dropping the phone beside me as I let out a shaky breath. My eyes moved to the mirror that was just opposite me and as I stared at the reflection, I could barely recognize the woman that was staring back at me. It wasn't supposed to be this way. Just where did everything go wrong? I placed my hands to my stomach, rubbing it gently as I felt my child growing inside of me. “My little secret.“ I muttered. She was my reason and burden. She was innocent and untouched by the poison that threatened all around her but would my baby be safe if I didn't cooperate? If I thought of it as an empty threat, my baby would be put in harm's way right? I hated Dominic. I clenched my fist as I
Inside the Villain’s mind.Nathaniel’s POV.“Who are you?” she asked. I felt pity for her after revealing my intentions to her. It’s often said that girls like it when guys lie to them but I’ll say ripping their heart wide open with the truth is the best any man can ever give to any woman. That way, they won’t be bothered about you telling lies because they know you’re brutally honest. “Nathaniel. You have 72 hours to do it.” An ultimatum would make it swifter. It would put her in deep tension and the thought of her nudes reaching the public would make her accelerate the plan. If it wasn’t for sloppy Dominic who couldn’t handle his files well, I wouldn’t have gotten it to begin with. It’s probably too much for her to handle. But I’m pretty sure he can handle it. She was smart enough to betray her husband and work for Dominic, even though she had a little bit of my help. She’ll figure it out again even if it means betraying Julian again. My motive is quite simple; in order for her
Torment takes another toll. Sienna’s POV. Ever since I did what Dominic requested from me, I can't help but feel relieved. I already made it pretty clear that I wasn't going to partake in his threats any longer. Although, it would be nice to start gathering some things about him in order to protect myself from whatever curve ball he intends to throw. I know he will. He is a parasite that keeps feeding off people and I'm not going to let myself be blackmailed and dragged around like a pawn. As I made my declaration to protect what's left of my life, a message popped up from my laptop screen. It was my nudes.Again. My mind went to Dominic instantly because I know he is the only person capable of doing something like this. “Dominic, I already told you. I am done with all your demands! I won't be your pawn in your little game. Go find someone else to play around.”I fired up a text message as a response to his threat. My eyes almost teared up as I was tired of everything. The repl
WHEN THE GAME JUST BEGINS.SIENNA'S POV.I heaved a sigh as my mind drifted to the mission in front of me. This one that glared at me and needed to be done in the next few minutes. I trembled, knee cracking as if wanting to put me to the ground.I left the building's entrance and walked in, dressed in corporate suits with files clutched to my arm as I held onto the duplicate device inside my coat pocket. My mind races in an uneven breath that I feared…What if someone could tell I was not a worker here?I ignored the voice in my head, this was a company that could not differentiate its clients from workers if not with uniform and here I was, in their Tuesday red coat. As I walked through the building's hallway, I heard footsteps approaching me, I paused in my tracks and the latter did the same.Has someone suspected me? I turned back searching for whoever was behind me but I couldn't find anyone. Maybe I was just being paranoid but then I could not wave off the feeling I was being
