Shaun's POV."This isn't a new thing. Finding her shouldn't be so hard" I raised my voice in frustration. I was almost losing my mind."Maybe she doesn't want to be found" Ken shrugged and I sighed leaning back on the seat."Why are you so worried about her? Did she take your money?""No" I mumbled under my breath."Then I don't think you should worry about someone you met at a club"That statement for some reason got me angry. Those were the same words I said to myself when I got back and couldn't find her. But here I was, after several days, still worried about her. I had asked my best men to look for her, but it had been to no avail. It shouldn't have been so hard, but they found it difficult. Things like that weren't supposed to be hard for me to do, but here I was frustrated because of someone I barely knew. I didn't even ask her her name. I knew nothing about her. I had a feeling she didn't want to be found, but there was no way she could hide from me. I was going to search eve
Lindsay's POV.After putting on my regular loose top and a pleated skirt, I left my room. Asher wasn't home, which I was grateful for because, during these past few days, I couldn't stand him."Fredo's Inc," I said to the cab driver and entered inside.I looked down at my shaky hands. I was so nervous and the reason was clear. The fear of rejection overwhelmed me and also the feeling of me not being good enough. I remembered the words Asher said to me the previous day. "Why don't you quit already" those words boiled my blood. He was the cause of my problems. The least he could do was be supportive.The drive didn't take more than 30 minutes and we were already there. I stared at the big building in front of me. The biggest online trading company ever. I have never been there before and the only person I knew was Tricia."Hello, welcome to Fredo's incorporated. How can I help you?" A beautiful blonde lady said to me, As she talked, her eyes didn't leave the screen of her laptop.I thou
I desperately wanted to put on something different, but my whole closet was filled with nothing but pleated skirts and loose tops. The desperate need to impress Shaun with my outfit clouded me, but I was restricted by my husband's crazy mindset.Having no other choice, I put on what I had, but I didn't leave without looking at the mirror.I applied a little bit of makeup. That was something I rarely did, but I wanted to look ravishing that day. I fixed my blonde hair which had been tied up in a bun and let it cascade down my shoulders. It was also something I never did. My hair was either in a ponytail or a messy bun, but that day was different.My reflection in the mirror was better than how it had been these last few days. I looked and felt alive. I walked out of my room with my heart in ecstasy. The ecstasy didn't start all of a sudden. It started the moment I stepped out of Shaun's office that day. I couldn't sleep, I kept rolling and tossing around the bed, thinking about how the
“Good," he said under his breath. “Now keep your eyes on the mirror while I undress you. Don't take it off". He instructed. The tone of his voice had changed. It was more deeper and intense. My heart began to beat faster again. I turned to look at him in puzzlement.“Turn back around," he instructed. “You need to learn how to trust me, Lindsay,” he said calmly. His voice had a way of soothing me. It sounded like music to my ears. A spell I couldn't resist.I turned back to look in the mirror as I watched him slip my shirt off. I breathed in sharply, loud enough for him to hear. He unhooked my bra and slipped it off too.I was aware of the fact that I was bare-chested, staring at a man who wasn't my husband from the mirror, but I didn't feel guilty a bit.He unzipped my skirt and I watched it go down my waist. My heartbeat picked up the pace. I was clothed with only red panties. He slipped his hand around my waist, wrappings his hand around it.I felt embarrassed and I looked down. He
I was the first to wake up. I got down from the bed and started putting on my clothes without telling Shaun. There was no need to disturb him. I was sure he wouldn't be bothered If I left without telling him. I was just his sex mate after all“You want to leave without telling me again?" I heard his voice and I jolted because I didn't know he was awake.“It's getting late"“It's just 4 in the evening"“And I think my work hours are over," I said, slipping on my skirt.Shaun got down from the bed and started walking toward me. He was naked and my body was aware of it. It heated up instantly, but I managed to keep my cool.He stopped in front of me, but I dared not look him in the eye. I kept my gaze on the floor, searching for my bra.“Looking for this?" He raised his hand, holding it to my face.“Oh," my cheek flushed in embarrassment. “Thanks" I took it from his hand.I was about to wear it, but he didn't let me. “I didn't give you so you could wear it," he said, coming closer to me.
Lindsay's POVAs I walked into the office foyer, I instantly felt nervous. It felt like everybody bored holes in my body with their eyes, judging me for cheating on my husband. That was my paranoia acting up. In a real sense, no one was staring. They all went on with their normal routine like I didn't matter.Shaun had called me, saying I should meet him at the office instead of his place. I frowned at the idea. It wasn't such a great idea to meet in public. My husband's eyes were everywhere and it would only be a matter of time before he caught me. I wanted to do everything in my power to avoid that.When I got to Shaun's office, I made the mistake of not knocking. I barged into his office and I instantly regretted it“How the fuck did you let this happen again?!“ Shaun roared with rage. His face was red in anger and his eyes were deadly.I had never seen Shaun so mad before. He was yeling at the man with him, but it felt like he was yelling at me.Not knowing what to do, I leaned on
My mouth dropped. How the fuck was I going to tell him I couldn't stay there?It was going to be hard to tell him that without telling him about my husband and my child.He looked at me when I didn't say anything. I on the other hand stood where I was, too stunned to speak.“You are not saying anything Lindsay" I didn't choose not to speak. It was the words that found a way of not coming out. Like how the fuck would I turn him down without him feeling bad?“Shaun, I don't think I need this house" oh that was bad. I should have sounded more emotional to make him see me as vulnerable.“You don't?" “I'm okay at my house,"He paused for a while before speaking. “I think it's way better if..."I didn't let him finish. “I don't see the need for you to buy me a house" I sounded rude, but knew what I was playing at.“I don't see why not," he said with a confused expression on his face.“We are nothing Shaun. Just fuck-mates. I don't think we owe each other such intimacy" I blurted out with
“since when"I rolled my eyes even though I was so fucking embarrassed. “since never. I don't see the need for that"He snickered."No wonder you act so cluelessly sometimes”"Excuse you” I feigned annoyance. "Anyway, that's what you are here for”"To teach you how to touch yourself?“I flushed. “To teach me how to be less clueless goddamn it" He leaned on his chair and his gaze hardened once more as he looked at me. He was right, I was clueless, I didn't even know where to start.“Lie down back," he said in a raspy tone. I did as he told me to. I lay down on the bed, already breathing fast. That wasn't from arousal, that was from nervousness.“Spread those legs," he instructed. I was reluctant, but I did as he asked. I noticed how his eyes changed instantly. It became more intense. The way he stared at my cunt made me feel more nervous, but that didn't stop me from being aroused. “Now don't be a shy kitten, touch yourself," he said in a low tone. He sounded like he was holding on
Lindsay's POVShaun laid beside me, deep in sleep while I stayed awake deep in my thoughts. He had assured me that Asher couldn't get to me in the house because of how secure the place was, but I still saw Asher as the psycho that he was. He might not be able to get to me today, but he would eventually. Even though it would take him years.The scariest part was, a divorce wouldn't stop someone like Asher. Only death and he was more like a spirit_ hard to killShaun tossed to the other side and I thought he was going to continue sleeping, but he raised his head and looked at me.“You aren't sleeping?" He asked tiredly“Can't sleep" I confessed and Shaun sighed as he sat up.“I already told you Asher can't get to you"“You don't know him. If he can't get me now, he would get me eventually. Now my daughter wants him. That means if he is able to get to her, he would take her and she would show no resistance" I almost cried at the thought of that.“That's not going to happen" he assured me
The next day I allowed the guards to follow me to the mall. I figured Shaun still insisted on me not going out alone. After hours of stubbornly staying at home, I finally decided to go to the mall with the guards. On getting there, I got to realize, Shaun bought the mall for 3 hours so that I could shop alone. I didn't know if he did that for my protection or if he did that to show me he had the power to do something like that.“Can we get that Mum" Leia pointed at a doll in an aisle we passed. I had to stop to look at it. When I saw what she was pointing at, I got to realize why she wanted the doll so much. It was the same doll Asher had bought her when she was 5.I sighed as I looked at my daughter whose eyes beamed in excitement as she stared at the doll in adoration. “We can't get that," I said and immediately her face dropped. She looked at me in confusion.“But why mum?"Did I even have a reason? Oh yes, I did. I wanted to successfully wipe Asher's memory from her life, but that
Lindsay's POV.Shaun got back from where he went after hours and with the way his eyes still looked the same way they looked in the morning, it was certain, he was still hurt or better still hated me. Could Shaun really hate me? My paranoid self askedI sat on the couch waiting for him to return for hours and the way he just walked past me hurt me a lot. Shaun in his nature would peck me on my cheeks or wrap his hand around my waist to acknowledge me, but this time he acted like I wasn't even there at all.“Is this how it's going to be now?" my voice was shaky due to how hard I was fighting the tears that threatened to fall. It was then I realized all the text I sent him didn't mean anything. Yeah, texts and calls weren't going to mend what I had done, but there was nothing more I could do.He flung his suitcase on the couch as he turned to look at me. “I am not ready for this Lindsay," he said calmly as he turned to continue walking, but there was no way I could let him leave me in t
Lindsay POVThe next morning I woke up sore, like the 'I couldn't feel my legs' type of sore. It was a good type of sore, especially when my mind kept replaying the wonderful sex I and Shaun had.“Where are you going?" Came the raspy voice of Shaun as he turned to look at me.“I have to get Leia ready for school," I replied and he groaned.“Let Lydia do it" he was talking about the help we hired not too long ago.“I gave her a day off" I pointed out something he already knew, but probably forgot.“Let me take her then" he offered, but I rolled my eyes.“I still have to go work" "You can take a day off. You don't answer to anybody remember?” He was right, I didn't answer to anybody because it was my clothes-store, but it wasn't the first time he was asking me to stay back and I knew the reason even though he tried multiple times to deny it. I sighed as I turned to look at him. “Shaun the reason I brought about the whole job idea is to actually leave the house and now you just employ
Lindsay's POVStaring at the black net lingerie from the mirror, clinging to my body at the same time exposing my well-cared-for curvy body, I know Shaun was surely going to go nuts at the sight of me.It was the night of my birthday and since he had made me happy, it wasn't a bad notion to return the favor. A sinful smile earned its way to my lips as I ambled out of the room. He was supposed to be working at that hour, but it was going to come to an end.I took casual steps down the stairs where he seemed very busy with his laptop. His eyes transfixed on it and his attention grasped so much that he didn't turn to look at me.“What are you doing?" I reduced my pace, walking towards him as stealthily as possible.“Trying to validate all these resumes. Plus there were changes in some of the products and I have to approve them" he said with a crease on his forehead. I could tell he was frustrated. I was going to take that frustration away.“You can take a break, Shaun. You are the boss a
Lindsay’s POV We both watched Leia play on the swing. Shaun had been feigning anger since I had denied him sex and his act alone, I considered cute. It was good to have power over my body. Shaun understood consent and that was something I wasn't used to.“Tell me about Asher” I collapsed beside him. He seemed busy with his phone and I could tell from the way he snapped his head to glance at me, that it was the least he anticipated from me. “Why do you want to know anything about him?” he asked due to how haphazard the question was. And I was his wife I ought to know more about him, but I just wanted to hear about him from his own brother. “I want an explanation for why he turned out to be so heartless. Something must have happened”. His lips puffed out air. It was evident he didn’t want to say anything pertaining to Asher, but the pleading look I gave him made him reconsider. Reluctantly, he began. “Francesco had a rough childhood. My father had always been hard on him because he
Chapter 68 I stayed on the bench, waiting just right outside the ward. Some of the nurses tried to talk me out of it, but I wasn’t leaving until I was certain Lindsay was okay. My legs bounce simultaneously as a result of my nervousness and my hands just couldn’t stay in one place. After about 6 hours of me patiently waiting/losing my mind, the door opened and one of the nurses walk out. She didn’t walk past like they always did. Instead, she walked towards me. “Mr. Marco” she called out even though I was already up on my feet in anticipation. “How is she?” “She is stable. We were able to flush her system and she is as good as new” “Can I see her?” “Yes you can, but she is still weak,” she said and I was already walking to the word before the last word left her lips. I opened the door to the ward. There was a nurse there, but the moment she saw me, she left to give the two of us some privacy. “Lindsay” I called out. She slowly turned to look at me. “Shaun” she called and that
Shaun's POV“Fine, I’ll do then,” Asher said and immediately after the words left his lips, he pulled the trigger. I had accepted my fate that I was going to die, but I was still standing there with a gun still in my hand. He had pulled the trigger, but nothing happened. The bullet of the gun he used had gotten finished. I could see the color drain from his face as he stood in front of me unarmed. He hadn’t spared me, so I didn’t think he expected me to spare him. With the gun still in my hands, I was about to bring him down when I was interrupted by the forceful opening of the door. One of his men came through with a gun in his hand. He was about to shoot at me but I was swifter, bringing him down before he could pull his trigger. That was the perfect opportunity for Francesco to get away. Before I could turn back to look at him. He ran past the front door, not after pushing me to get me unstable. When I finally found my stance, I began to fire, but he was lucky_ too lucky. He did
Shaun’s POV Bullets flew all over the place, guards dropped to the floor as their blood spilled on it. The best part of it was my men were winning. A guard approached me with a gun in his hand, but I was quick to pull the trigger before he did. Someone attacked me from behind, sending me to the floor. He jumped on me and began rendering punches on my face. He didn’t have a stance. With one flip, he was on the floor and I had the upper hand. I punched him till I was satisfied and when he was almost lifeless, I took my gun which had left my hand when I was pushed and I shot him in the head, making his blood splatter on the ground. It didn’t take time before we were able to take down every one of Francesco's men. At least that was what I thought until I was called by one of my men. “Boss” he called out and I turned to look at where he was facing. More of Francesco’s men trooped out from the house. Bullets went flying again as my men and his men began to fire at each other again. I wa
