NatalieNatalie was shocked at Theodore’s behavior. He was being awfully honest. Did her prayers for him to become an honest man were answered? If yes, it was a shitty time.When she had seen him an hour ago, nervously rejecting every piece of cloth, she had smiled. He was making an effort. It had put her into a great dilemma when he had told her again that he loved her, and she had this feeling where she wanted to ask him for the truth. But how could she?She had wrestled with the thought, but now in this moment, the way he was talking to her family, about her father, Natalie wasn’t so sure. He wasn’t changing. He is the arrogant billionaire who has kidnapped her. Though, he was not a torturer. Maybe the most gentle kidnapper in the history, she had thought.Her mother had made her sit down and asked, “How are you, dearest? Is he treating you well? Please tell me you are not being tortured? Oh, dear, I can’t tell you how helpless your father and I feel.”“I am fine, Mom.” Natalie ha
NatalieWilliam was rinsing the dishes and drying them, while Natalie was lathering them up.“So, what do you think of Theodore now?” William asked her, but she had her own set of questions ready.“Forget about him. How is father? Let me ask, considering Theo isn’t around to make a condemning remark about him.” She scoffed.“He is well. What I don’t understand is why is he still entertaining Nicholas and his son.”“What do you mean?” Natalie asked.“I had heard them planning a move on defeating Theo, but I walked in, they stopped and Dad and I had an argument.”“About what?” Natalie had washed her hands now and focused her attention on William.“It doesn’t matter. But Dad is hiding something, I am sure of it. There is more to it.”Natalie could guess what it was. Her father was planning things to rescue her from this cage while William was suspecting he was plotting something for Theo. It was the only explanation.She didn’t give it much thought, because she didn’t need to. She had an
NatalieNatalie couldn’t describe how she spent the time. Her first instinct was to open up that phone and call the mysterious man, but she stopped herself. What if Theo has something in his home which would detect it? She couldn’t risk getting caught.“But what if he already knows?” Her mind asked and Natalie cried silently.If he does then she will have nothing to do but confront him. But first she has to find out if he knows. And to know that, she will have to see him.Theo could come and have her right here. Why does he want her to meet at the penthouse?‘Maybe he wants to kill you for betrayal and wants to bury you body without letting anyone know?’ Her mind spoke and Natalie had to admonish herself for thinking so.She couldn’t go crazy right now. She had to do something. She must seduce him. All she had to do was to wear something nice.She chose a dark maroon lace lingerie, similar sheer silk stockings, and paired them with her new stilettos. She had settled for a beautiful da
NatalieWhen she woke up, she was wet and flushed.She had a weird dream. She was in bed and Theo was making love to her. How could she dream such erotica when her body was still begging her for rest after last night’s sex.Her thighs clenched, thinking about all the ways Theo had taken her. He had been in and around her, consuming her very being, making her cry out, making her beg, squirm, and yearn for more. She never knew that sex could be so amazing. Yes, she had experience, but never had she dreamt that Theo will make the bedroom such an amazing place for her.Even in her dream, he was sucking on her melons hungrily, squeezing them, enlarging them, teasing her nipples. She had cried out when he had bitten her clit. His chiseled body moved like ripples in water, and he had made love to her in the most amazing ways.But what concerned Natalie most was that she was saying the three magical words to him.Yes, she remembered saying those three words to Theo in her dream. And after hea
TheodoreHe picked up the call. He was on his way to the airport.“Yes?”“The documents will be filed today.” The person on the other side informed him.“What about the other thing I wanted you to do?”“I am on it, Mr. Gilbert.”“I will be abroad for a while. But before I come back, I need details on my desk.”Theo hung up and looked out the window. His heart was heavy. There were a lot many things he wanted to tell Natalie and talk to her about it, but no. There was fate interrupting them at every moment.Jacobs’ men were interfering and Theo had to sort out everything. He will have to talk to Hanson as soon as he will return.But his mind was occupied by Natalie. He wanted her to utter those three words. He wanted to tell her that he wanted them to date like a normal couple. He wanted to sleep with her every night, but he didn’t want to cage her or do anything that would make her hate him.He wanted to sit with her and talk and talk and talk. He will. When he returns, he will.But
NatalieAfter Theo was gone. Natalie wrestled with the thought whether she should contact the mysterious man or not. Her feelings for Theo had confused her. But the mysterious man was her father’s man who was worrying about her. How could she not respond to her father’s efforts of saving her?After she had lunch and Rufus went out for something, she came back to her room, went to the closet, and opened the shoebox where she had hidden the mobile phone.She took it to the bathroom, ran the water in the bathtub and opened it. The phone was a latest model of a very expensive brand. Her father had money to spare on such things? Natalie wondered but then proceeded. She unlocked it, and there was only one contact on the phone. The name was saved as Jacobs.She took a few deep breaths and finally pressed the green call icon.The number only rung for two rings and she hung up. She pressed her palm against her forehead and cursed herself for being so weak. She was wondering what to do when the
NatalieWhat you are doing is wrong!Talk to Theodore. He might have an explanation.Everything is fine!You are going to get yourself kidnapped!How do you know you can trust this Jacobs guy?Are you insane?You are insane!You are insane!You are insane!These were Natalie’s thoughts all day and all night and she cursed Theodore for putting her into this position. If only they had never met, she would have never been in this predicament.Her heart was still siding with Theodore, but her father wouldn’t lie, would he? Theodore’s sudden change of heart, him breaking off his engagement with Kim, kidnapping Natalie from her wedding, all these steps were so unlike the Theodore she had first met, who wanted to keep his life private, but these days, he was letting the tabloids take his picture and print it. What was he playing at if not what Jacobs had told her about?The chain of events was pointing into only one direction and that was against Theo.She had made up her mind. She will step
TheodoreHe had reached to the hotel after working for 16 hours non stop and was ready for bed when he received the disturbing call. Rufus told him of the events.“What in the fucking hell happened?” He screamed down the phone, but Natalie was gone. She was lost.Theo slumped down on his bed as his legs gave away.The last hope of his life was lost. Natalie was gone. She was kidnapped and he had a good idea of who might be behind it.Theo was boiling with rage but he was thousand of miles away and was also feeling helpless. This is what love does to a man, his mind spoke. It makes you weak, pathetic, vulnerable, and as helpless like a worm under a shoe.Theo wiped his tears. His work here in Portugal wasn’t done yet, but what could he do if not return to States?He made a few calls and scheduled his flight as soon as it was available, three hours, which felt like a lifetime to Theo.“How could she get kidnapped? Is Natalie working with someone? Who else knew about her leaving the hous
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
