Theodore He was avoiding every call. From his parents, Alice, Jonathan, Lionel, everyone. So, he wasn’t surprised when he found Jonathan at his door. Theo exited his car and started walking towards the door as if it was usual seeing his brother there. He was in for a berating, and he didn’t care. “Stop right there, Theo.” Jonathan’s voice warned him, but he really didn’t care. The woman he loved was pushing him away. He had broken off his engagement. The tabloids were calling him a cheat. His parents were angry for calling off a wedding whose preparations were undergoing. His sister-in-law was furious for upsetting her friend. His brother was ready to teach him a lesson. No one was really ready to calm down and ask him what was the reason. So, Theo kept walking. But then Jonathan’s hand landed on Theo’s shoulder and he turned away furiously. “What is it, John? You wanna scold me? You wanna call me names for leaving Kim? Do it now. Come on. I am listening.” “I am not here to scold
TheodoreTheodore was reading the morning newspaper. He usually skipped Page 6, but today he was glad that he saw it, because tucked in the bottom left corner was a small announcement.“The Notorious Greene Set to Tie Knot with Michael Archer.”Theodore rubbed his eyes and read it again. There was no picture just a small announcement that Natalie Greene was set to marry Michael Archer. Theodore immediately pulled up details of Michael Archer. He was the son of industrialist Nicholas Archer.Theodore showered, dressed, and went asked his driver to bring the car around. He arrived at Natalie’s place in precise 20 minutes, which would have taken him 35 minutes usually. His driver was sweating when they arrived.Theodore knocked on the door, but nothing. Not even a curtain twitched. He called her on her phone but there was no response.“Damn it.” He threw the phone on the ground and it bounced twice. Theo needed to think. What’s the next best thing to do?He called his assistant, and aske
Theodore He was punching the bag as hard as he could but his anger was not assuaging at all. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. These were the only thoughts in his mind. She said that he snatched her dreams. Which dream was she talking about? Theodore’s hands were not stopping at all and so was his mind, but he couldn’t let Natalie think the worst of him. What was so wrong if he fell for her? Yes, he was engaged, but he never loved Kim. His only fault was maintaining a sex life with someone other than his fiancée. But other than that, he was not at fault. And as for Natalie, this feeling was not a passing cloud. He really loved her. Theodore stopped punching the bag and sat down on the bench, he gulped the chilled water and poured it down over his head. He needed to calm down. He thought about his encounter with her and wondered when he had fallen for Natalie. He thought about the first night he had seen her. She was crying and he had felt a pang in his chest, as if som
Author’s POVIf there was one thing Michael was aware of in the world of elite, it was that everyone had secrets. When Natalie had confessed to him about Theodore Gilbert, he had been supportive. His father was adamant on him marrying Natalie and Michael really liked her. She had a fiery spirit and a background which was perfect for him.In the world of elite, marrying right is crucial to claim your inheritance. That’s what Michael was doing but Theodore was making it difficult. Why did he want Natalie so bad? He had to fix the situation.So, Michael placed a call to his PI and asked him to gather info on Theodore.The more he knows, the more power he will have, and the more dirt there is on Natalie, the more Eric Greene and Natalie will feel compulsive about the wedding. Their loss was his gain.The next week, he had the ammunition in his hand. He was getting his tux fitted when he got the mail.Michael chuckled as he read the information on his iPad screen.“Let’s have some fun.” He
NatalieNatalie was nervous. Michael’s father had called to say that they needed to talk. Natalie’s father was worried and why wouldn’t he be? His daughter’s name was being rolled around in mud. No parents want it.But most of all, Natalie had herself to blame. If only she had never agreed for such arrangement with Theodore, if only she had broken it off when she came to know about his engagement, if only she had kept herself in check, but none of it mattered now, because someone was adamant on washing their dirty laundry in public.William was cursing journalism.“What the hell does LA Times thinks it’s doing? Do they lack news to print or their editors are nuts, printing stupid stories?”He said that but somewhere Natalie knew that he was blaming her. Heck! Natalie herself was blaming herself. Only her mother was asking all of them to be positive and supportive of each other.Looks like there was more scolding due, because there was no way Nichlas Archer won’t say a thing about all
Natalie Natalie was jittery. It was the night before her wedding and she was experiencing wedding blues. An impending future without love, tomorrow with an impending fear of Theodore, a company to be saved, and everything was running in her mind, except for the fact that she could be happy. It was the last thing on her mind. Every bride is happy before her wedding, right? But it was not the case with Natalie. Sammy called her to Natalie who stood near the pool, silently watching the water throwing beautiful colors on the wall. “What are you doing, Nat? At least drink something. You didn’t even let us throw a bachelor party. It was only Sammy and her. Malcolm and Benjie were still on their honeymoon, and Natalie didn’t want to call them and say, “Get your ass back home, because I have decided to marry out of the blue. “I don’t wanna drink, Sammy.” “And why is that?” It was William, whose voice made her turn around and she hugged him like a panda. “Will, of all people, how can you
NatalieNatalie woke up and the first thing she needed was newspaper. The paparazzi was crazy right now, and she was aware that if Theodore stepped in LA, they will report without a doubt.She quickly made it to Page sic and her heart shattered, because there was a picture of Theodore with a tall, blonde woman. She shouldn’t have felt it but Natalie felt a disappointment. She read the Headline.“Our Billionaire Knows How To “Use and Throw” and Move On”Theodore Gilbert was spotted at his Portugal venture launch party. For our LA friends, let us tell you that Theodore Gilbert has installed the biggest hydropower plant in Portugal and he was seen at the launch [arty last night with a “friend” as he quoted. Looks like Theodore Gilbert knows how to “use and throw” and move on. People throw caution to the wind, but looks like Theodore threw away love to the wind and he is back to his old ways. Honestly, we had missed college playboy Theodore Gilbert a lot. Looks like he is back.Natalie
TheodoreTheodore was glad that he had reached in time. God knows what would have happened if he had been late.The moment he saw that douche Michael holding Natalie’s hands, Theodore’s blood had boiled.Theodore was aware that Eric Greene had not spared anything when it came to security around the church, and thus, Theodore had asked Derek for man force who could overpower the security agents. It had been easy.Theodore might have spared Michael, but his offense didn’t end at touching Natalie. He had been behind printing the shit in the papers, defiling Natalie’s image. Theodore could spare him for his own insult, but Natalie’s? It was out of the question.Natalie’s tears were moving him, but she seemed calm. Theodore made her stand up. If fear is going to help him, then fear it would be. He will scare Natalie and take her away from the people who were using her for their own advantages.“You belong to the cage, my little bird.” He spoke and bent to kiss her lips. She moved her head
Author's POV“Please, please, please, say yes.” It was Theo on the line and Natalie was looking at the fabric for the tables at a wedding.The news had been spread that Shane McCartney had hired “We Do” for his ceremony and the orders were piling up. Natalie was drowned to neck in work.“Sorry, baby. I have so much work.”“It’s just a weekend. We will fly to Paris on Friday…” But Natalie cut him off.“Sorry, baby.”Theodore sighed. “Ok, did you have dinner?”Natalie refused.“OK, then. I am bringing Chinese.” He spoke, and Natalie asked. “Will you feed me?”Theodore smiled. “Of course, I will.”Natalie was smiling as she hung up. Theo was the most supportive man she had seen. He never complained about her work but encouraged her. He himself worked odd hours after all.It had only been a month and he had made her move in with him. Her father had no objections to their dating now. Theodore’s family had come onboard too. Ashley was a little icy, but Natalie knew that she will win her ove
NatalieDesire was heavy in her belly.She was losing herself as Theo’s expert mouth kissed her neck and made love to her breasts. He always liked her breasts and when he sucked on them after so long, Natalie came violently. She couldn’t help it. She was hot all over and he was not helping her at all, by kissing her breasts and fucking her with his finger at the same time.“Please fuck me, Theo. Please. I need you.”She almost sobbed and Theo obliged.She saw him with hooded eyes as he carefully ran the head of his cock against her wet pussy lips. Their eyes met, and he pushed himself inside her warm channel. She felt full to the brim as his large cock invaded her pussy.“Ahhhh……” She moaned and closed her eyes.Her hands reached for his and their fingers entwined.“It feels good, Theo. It feels so good.” She opened her eyes and he bent over her to kiss her.He started moving inside her and Natalie couldn’t help but moan as his cock’s girth rubbed on her pussy walls, making her squeez
TheodoreThe place was dark. He had not turned on any lights. The only lights he could see was at the LA’s skyline and the sparkling stars in the sky.He sipped the whiskey and let it burn.He was drinking since the moment he had dropped Natalie back at her place. It had taken him great self-control to just sit in the car and not walk her to the door. To not ask her to let him enter and push her against the next wall. To not take her lips in his and kiss the hell out of her, kiss her so bad that her mind will remember only one name and that’s Theo. To not tell her that the wait was killing him and he couldn’t bear it anymore. To not tell her how much he loved her.Theo had controlled. He had come here, because the last night he had spent here with her was all he had.He had come here with the hope that her scent must be lingering. But it was gone. The place was cleaned.The time spent with her today had been pure torture. He had to act like a stranger to her. His fingers were twitchin
NatalieNatalie had no trouble explaining as Mindy asked her questions. Shane might be a celebrity player, but they were going to have a modest wedding with only close family and friends.Mindy was very clear about what she wanted and Natalie helped her with it.“Let me call Shane.” Mindy spoke and went out, leaving Natalie alone with Shane’s mother, who had some wonderful insights on the wedding planning. After all, she was also dreaming of her son’s wedding for years.“So, how long do you know Theodore?” His mother asked.Natalie thought about it and then answered truthfully. “A few months.”“And what do you think about him?”The question wasn’t unexpected. After hearing her thoughts at the lunch, Natalie had figured out that his mother wanted them to be an item.“I don’t think I know him enough to form an opinion. You know him much better than I do, I guess. What do you say? Is the guy worth one risking the heart?”It was a bold question and made Shane’s mother smile. “I know him s
TheodoreNatalie was looking breathtaking as always. Although, she was pale and skinny, and he wanted to know why.But he guessed that it was not his place to ask her personal questions. He didn’t say much about the twinning comment too.The ride to Shane’s place was an emotional roller-coaster for him. There had been many rides in the past with Natalie, but this time, he couldn’t hold her hand. He couldn’t tell her that he wanted to kiss her beautiful lips, he wanted to let her know that she looked elegant in that attire, and that he was losing control.Shane was warm as always. He came from a modest family. He had lost his father to a cardiac arrest a few years back. It was just his mother now. His elder brother lived in Connecticut with his family.Shane and Theodore had been attracted towards each other in college due to the fact that Theodore was reserved. He was among a pretentious crowd, the kids of the families like his who believed that Yale was made for them.Shane was a sch
NatalieShe hung up and came back to the table where William looked at her with raised brows over his glass of wine.“What’s the matter?”Natalie was red with anger. “That friend of yours. Guess where he is?”“Where?” William asked.“Control. That gentleman is raiding the corridors of Control when I am nervous here. When I am thinking that I wronged the man I love, he is fucking other women there.”“How do you know that’s what he is doing?”Natalie huffed at the question. “What else he must be doing?”She was angry. So much angry and she had no idea why she was feeling that way. She didn’t want to cry but they threatened her eyes. How could he? Has he moved on? Does he not love her anymore? The idea of him touching other women was repulsive and made Natalie anxious. She couldn’t take it. The jealousy was flowing through her blood right now. She blew air through her mouth and asked William, “Did I push him too far, Will? Does he not love me anymore?”“Oh, my fucking God, Nat. Are yo
TheodoreIt was a Friday night and Theodore had nothing better to do. He gulped down the bitter cognac and looked around but Lionel wasn’t anywhere.In the past few months, Theodore had not visited “Control” at all. First, he loved Natalie and there were no women here now who could interest him.After the first few days after Jacobs, Theo had a faint hope in his heart that Natalie will call him. She will come to see him. But until now, she had not even tried to establish any contact with him. He had tried his best not to come across her. Because if she didn’t want to see him, he will not bother her.It was hard getting over her. For him, she was the only one. Her beautiful smile was the first thing he still saw when he woke up. He had a beautiful picture of hers framed and set on his bedside.Now, he was all alone, and was wondering if she will ever come to him.But then it happened. His phone buzzed. He pulled it out and his heart skipped a beat.It was her. She was calling him. Afte
NatalieIt had been a month since Natalie was working at “We Do” and she had realized that she was better as an intern than the CEO. There were a lot many things that she had to manage now and she was trying to juggle like an expert.Right now, she was in the meeting because no matter what they did, the revenues were stubborn and stuck at the bottom.“The number of orders is still at a very low point. What are we supposed to do to increase them? Our existing strategies aren’t working.”Natalie was chewing the tail of the pencil, then she recalled how she had come to know about Keira.She spoke out of the blue. “All we need is one celebrity wedding.”Everyone was silent and looked at her. She looked at the expectant faces and elaborated. “Keira gained fame overnight after she bagged Nora Thorne’s wedding contract. All we need is that one person who is a celebrity and set to marry this year. Since our LA is bustling with celebrities, we need to bag just one person from the Stripe and I
TheodoreThe car stopped and Theo looked at the building. The evening was chilly and dark and there were only a few people lurking around. He took in the shabby building and sighed. This place could never look great even with all the Christmas lights on it.He exited the car and asked the driver to wait.It was a place where Theodore couldn’t leave his Jaguar unattended.He buttoned up his suit jacket and looked around. The silence was everywhere.Theodore was expected here, and he took the few stairs to the building.The guard asked him to enter his details and then guided him through a door.Officer Marshal met him at the desk and stood up to shake Theodore’s hand.“He is right where you wanted him to be.” He informed Theodore and then guided him to a room upstairs. Outside the door, leaning on the wall was everything that Theodore wanted. A thick metal rod, a hockey stick, a baseball bat, a whip, and a cricket bat.“Which one do you need?” Officer Marshal asked.Theodore looked at
