Theodore

He stepped out of the house and got down on his knees. What the fuck did Eric do?

His breath was ragged and he was finding it hard to focus.

If Natalie is indeed kidnapped by Michael and his father then Nicholas Archer would try to get his son marry Natalie. His Natalie!

How come things got so out of hand?

He was also crying for the fact that Natalie had told him that she loved him. Was it all a charade? Was she just playing a game? In her sleep? That’s when she had muttered those words. And the day he was leaving for Portugal, she had hugged him like she would really miss him. Was it all a charade? Was Theo so blind to see all of it? Was she so desperate to get away from him that she just went away with anyone who said he could help?

The other possibility was that Jacobs had kidnapped her. But it sounded more far fetched now. Besides, the police officers had told Theodore that Hanson was not in LA since yesterday.

There were a lot many possibilities and none was making any s

    NatalieIt was dark when she woke up. She looked out the windows and it was dark indeed. She woke up to find that she was in a beautiful room. There was a glass of water with two Advil and she took one of the pills, because she had a slight headache.She found that she was in the same clothes and when she looked at her watch, she found that it was past midnight.Natalie got out of the bed and sat on the edge because her head was throbbing. She somehow got her bearings and walked to the door.She tried to hear any of the sounds, but when she heard nothing, she tried the door. It opened and Natalie walked out. There was a railing and she walked up to it, only to find that she was in a sprawling mansion, and there was no one there but two men guarding the door, and when one of them saw her, he spoke something in his Bluetooth speaker, which Natalie couldn’t hear.Natalie took in her surroundings. There was a large marble staircase, which went down to the sprawling hall. There were some e

    TheodoreApparently, after a great while, Officers agreed to pay Jacobs a visit and Theodore announced that he will be going with them. William was with his mother who was unwell after the tragic news. Her father was trying to help but the old man was shut off by Theo. He was the reason they were in this mess.Or it was Theo himself? If only he never had an enemy, Natalie could be with him.They arrived to Jacobs’ place. Theodore’s heart was beating fast in his heart. It had been more than 24 hours and he had not seen Natalie. He was dying to see her.Theo’s hands were itching to strangle Jacobs but what could he do is not take official help.Jacobs was waiting for them in the drawing room and stood up with a smile when he saw Theo and the team of policemen entering the place.“Good Morning, Officers.” But before he could shake hands, Theo was at his throat. He held Jacobs’ collar and punched his nose, drawing out blood.“Mr. Gilbert, you are compelling me to throw you out of the plac

    NatalieNatalie was here for three days now, and all she could do was look out the window. Her food was sent to her room, which she refused to eat at first. The maid threatened her, but Natalie didn’t budge. She could be awfully stubborn when she wanted to.Her heart was crying as she recalled Theo’s face from the other day. Despite her betrayal, he had come for her. But he had betrayed her too. If he loved her, did he not trust her enough to share everything with her?Trust, it was a word that could make relationships or destroy them. That’s what their relationship had lacked since its inception. Theo had lied. Did he have good reasons? She didn’t know. But what was the proof that Jacobs had been honest? She will have to ask him. Like he would answer.Her stomach grumbled and she drank another glass of water. But she didn’t eat.At dinner time, no one came knocking on her door, the maid barely took away the lunch trolley and Natalie tried to sleep clutching her legs to her stomach. B

    TheodoreHe woke up without any alarm, and stared at the ceiling. It was still dark outside, but the faint light of the dawn was lighting up the LA horizon. He sat up in his bed, hanging his legs off the edge.Theo had barely slept. His mind was only thinking about ways to help Natalie. But was there anything he could do? Theo wondered. He couldn’t, because Natalie wasn’t helping him there.Today, he was regretting being a playboy, regretting fucking Jacobs’ fiancée, regretted having to find himself in this mess, because for the first time in his life, he was feeling so helpless.He decided to pay a visit to the Archers.When he called his secretary to schedule a meeting with Michael, he came back with the reply that Michael’s father had refused.Theo smiled. Because it was what he had expected.He had a few meetings to attend. Theo could wait for Natalie for a lifetime, but his work couldn’t.It was almost 5 when he left office once he was done, telling his secretary that he will be

    NatalieNatalie was surprised when the maid announced that her brother was there to meet her.Natalie rushed out of the room where William stood.She wanted to run and hug William. She was shaken from last night and wanted to feel safe in her brother’s arms, but she was well aware that William was on Theo’s side, and if he saw anything unusual, he will report it to Theo. It meant unnecessarily risking Theo’s life.So, she walked down the stairs leisurely, and sat down on the couch knowing full well that her brother was expecting a hug. Disappointment was written across his face after Natalie’s stunt. But she put him out of his misery, speaking first. “Why are you here, William?”He didn’t sit down. “I thought I could come see my sister anytime and watch her settle in her new abode.”“Not when you are shaking hands with enemy.” She spoke while choosing a strawberry from the bowl that the maid had just placed, and she took a bite from it.“And who is the enemy here, Nat?”“Your friend,

    TheoHe had only stepped out of the Archer house when Theo’s phone buzzed in his pocket, and since it was William calling him, Theo picked it up. “It’s bad news.”These were William’s first words, and Theo sighed. “What is it now? Don’t tell me your sister is already marrying Jacobs.”The idea was heart-wrenching for Theo and he regretted immediately as he uttered those words. He sat in the car and motioned his driver to move.“Worse. There is a mole. Your secretary. Bert.”“What?” Theo wanted to laugh at this suggestion, but then William went on and told him everything. Theo couldn’t believe it, of course.“Well, can’t help but sack him, right?”“Yes. One more thing. Jacobs is taking Natalie to a party tonight.”“What party?” Theo couldn’t help asking.“No idea, but I have a man in place who will be tracking as soon as they leave for it. You ready for a party tonight?”Theo closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, “Do I have a choice? But before that I have some sacking to

    NatalieShe was nervous as cameras clicked. Jacobs’ hand on her waist was like a chain that was tightening with every passing second.“Just smile.” He whispered in her ear and Natalie tried to do what she was told.Questions were thrown at her about Theodore, and she just wanted earth to open up, so she could disappear forever.Some people even called her a slut, and Natalie told Jacobs that she wanted to go inside.Once they were inside, she turned sharply to her date. “You did that on purpose, didn’t you? Wanted me to stand there and take that bullshit from everyone.”Jacobs nodded at some people and then turned to her, his smile not wavering at all. “Fix your face, smile, and don’t make a scene. When you are a naïve little girl who only thinks about herself, and how she had been wronged, this is what happens. So, just shut up and flaunt that mark on your neck.”That was it. Last night when Jacobs had bit her hard, she didn’t know he was planning something. Today, she was getting re

    TheodoreNatalie’s words hurt Theodore to the extent he had not imagined. He was waiting for a moment to strike, but things were moving too fast.First, he had seen that mark on Natalie’s neck, and he had been furious. Did she really get so soon in Jacobs’ bed?The images of her writhing beneath him made Theodore afraid of closing his eyes. He wanted to push those thoughts away.When he had seen her on the dance floor, there was no mistaking their closeness. She was moving effortlessly, and Jacobs’ face in her shoulder didn’t seem to bother her.Even when their eyes had met, she didn’t seem guilty at all. Was it all Theodore’s imagination that he had felt Natalie’s care growing for him? Was it a lie what she had muttered in her sleep? Did she not even like him as a human being, because the way she was crushing his heart, it was inhuman.When she told him that Jacobs wanted to marry her, Theodore couldn’t just let the words slide. How could he? He wanted the woman to be his bride and y

    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
