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 POVI was so devastated that I found it hard to say anything for the first few seconds. I opened my mouth to speak, but a gasp escaped instead. “Asher, is there a problem?" I tried to ask, but the call had already ended. My overthinking self played in. I started thinking of the numerous reasons he would call me.I rushed back to the room where Shaun was. He stared at me in puzzlement. I was so thrown off as I searched for my clothes like a crazy person.“Lindsay, is there something wrong?" he asked, but I didn't give him a response. He slipped off the bed and walked to where I was. “Hey" he called out and I looked at him briefly before peeling my eyes off him again. “Hey!" He called out and I stopped immediately, but I was still panicking.“Is there anything wrong?" he held my face with both his hand as he peered his eyes into mine“I..."I sucked in the air. “I need to be home"“But you haven't spent..."“There's... an" I racked my brain thinking of the right words. “There'
Lindsay's POVI stared at my food, too bored to eat. Asher spoke with my parents and they paid rapt attention. No one cared to notice if I was eating or not. Not that I was affected. I just felt they should at least show a little bit of concern. My parents loved Asher so much that if they had to choose between the both of us, I was pretty sure they would go for Asher. He had what they wanted and that was money and power.I couldn't help but ask. What the fuck did they need his money for? They were already old and had enjoyed their lives. The least they could do was let me enjoy my life too.“Mum you aren't eating?" Leia was the first to point out and I was snapped back to reality.“Yes darling you aren't," my mum said after her and I was forced to roll my eyes. I bet if Leia hadn't said anything, they would keep on talking to Asher and treating me like I didn't matter. I was their daughter for crying out loud.“I don't feel like it"“Is it the food? Should I tell Rebecca to get you so
Lindsay POV When I heard the front door close, my heart skipped a beat. I knew my parent were gone and now Asher could do anything he wanted. The door to Leia's room was locked, but I was still trembling. He had keys to all the rooms in the house, so the door couldn't protect me.Leia was already asleep in my arms. I tucked her carefully into her bed and I slipped off to stand behind the door.Nothing happened for the first few minutes, but I then started hearing footsteps coming upstairs. My heartbeat picked up pace instantly. It was so loud that I could hear it.Tears trickled down my eyes as I wrapped my hand tightly around the rod in my hands.The footsteps kept coming closer. With each thump, it felt as though my life slowly slipped away from me. I was so scared that I couldn't hold on to the rod properly. It was all sliding down my sweaty palm.The footsteps stopped at the front of the door and I held the rod firmly, waiting for him to come in so I could end him once and for al
Lindsay POV “Why didn't daddy take me to school today?” Leia asked as I stared down at her with my hand wrapped around hers."You heard your father. He has to be at work today”"Don't you have to be at work too?“"It's fine honey”. I smiled at her even though my cheeks hurt so bad. It was bruised, thanks to Asher. I had to apply tons of foundation to it. The only problem I had was how I was going to hide it from Shaun. He had always been the observative one."Alright say bye-bye to mummy,” I said to Leia who was already running to her class. She turned around and gave me a hug. "That's enough sweetheart” I kissed her on her cheek and off she went.I was about to leave too, but my name was called."Mrs. Thompson” I turned around to see who it was.I hadn't met that woman before, but that didn't stop me from smiling. I was always so quick to smile. That was to my disadvantage that day because my cheeks were starting to hurt so badly. It was as if the skin of my cheeks tore each time
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
