_Author’s POV_When Ruelle got home, Killian was sitting in the living room. Another woman was sitting in front of him and she seemed to laughing at what was being said. Killian's face was blank as he waited for her to stop laughing. Ruelle took a step forward and his head instantly snapped in her direction when she got closer.“What took you so long to get home?” He asked her, seeming irritated.“I– Uh..” Ruelle stuttered, feeling lost for what to say as she looked between them both. She wondered who the woman was but she said nothing about it.Erika looked at Ruelle with a scowl on her face. She heard that Killian was about to get married and she came here as fast as she could. “So this is your fiance?” She asked, giving Ruelle a once over.Her eyes skimmed over Ruelle who felt awkward under her stare. She knew she wasn't ugly, but she couldn't say the same about her clothes. She has been using the same set of clothes for a while now because her father didn't care about her.
_Ruelle’s POV_I watched in disbelief as Erika pushed a cart into the room. She gave me a smug look as she walked past, stopping right next to Killian.“Hey Lian,” She called with an excessively sweet voice. I think I might get diabetes. “What are you doing?” Killian asked and I knew that he was talking to Erika, not me. His tone was flat and he stared straight ahead.A frown formed on my face when Erika stood next to Killian, she held his arm as she spoke.“Lian, you don't take care of yourself at all. Do you know what time it is? And you haven't even eaten,” She said while pouting her lips. I looked between them, the frown on my face deepening.Did Erika have feelings for Killian? Or am I just overthinking things? And what was that nickname she called him?I know our marriage was merely one of convenience, but I still didn't like the way she was around him. “I'm fine,” Killian said then pushed Erika away from him. I thought this was going to make her go away, but she doesn't.Er
_Killian’s POV_“Wha-what do you mean,” Ruelle stuttered, a pink blush rising on her cheek. She was pretending to be bold the whole time, but suddenly she turned pink the moment I suggested that. I couldn't help but chuckle at how cute she was acting at the moment. “You were being so bold just now, what happened to that?” I asked her, smirking. I stared unfocused at nothing, playing the part of a blind man well. Nobody knew when I had regained my sight, and I didn't want to tell Ruelle till after our wedding and after she had proved that I could trust her. Who knows? She could have been sent by that man to keep an eye on me. Ruelle remained quiet, staring at me for a moment. She seemed to be lost in thoughts and I wondered what the little girl was thinking about. She was just twenty one and yet she agreed to get married to someone eight years older than she was. And worse of all, I was blind and crippled too. I had learned to not trust people, but Ruelle hadn't given me a rea
“Greetings Mother,” Killian said, ignoring the question she had asked. I looked between the both of them, unsure of what to do, or say. When Killian touched my hand slightly, a signal, I knew I had to show my respect too “Greetings ma'am,” I said, sounding as polite as I could. She ignored my greeting, picking up her tea cup and taking a sip from it. I waited in silence for her to drink to her heart's content.“Is this the girl you're getting married to?” She asked, setting the cup down. “I thought you were getting married to that girl, the daughter of Mr. Athanas” I could hear her displeasure for me in her voice, her bright red lips still turned into an ugly frown. Mrs. Lexington was a middle-aged woman, she had light wrinkles on her face and her dark hair was tied into a tight bun at the top of her hair. I could smell her expensive perfume from where we stood, and I couldn't help but wrinkle my nose. It was too strong. “You must be talking about my younger sister,” I started,
"Apologize for hitting my son now!” Anselm's father ordered and I blew out from my mouth, turning to him.What's it with these people and thinking they can hit me however they want?“Mr Kingston. I wouldn't tolerate you hitting my student however you wished. We would punish her according to the school guidelines. But hitting her is something we wouldn't condone,” The director said, but Mr. Kingston ignored him.“What are you waiting for? Get on your knees and beg!” He yelled at me, dropping spittles on my face. “Are you going to apologize to me too?” I asked coldly, glaring at him.His mouth opened and closed in shock, a vein on his forehead popping in anger.“How dare you?!” he raised his hand to hit me but I caught it, pushing him away. Anslem immediately stood up to catch his father, preventing him from falling.“Ruelle, are you insane?! You're going too far!” Anslem growled at me. I lazily shifted my gaze from his father who was red in anger to him. “Nobody said he was going t
"Did the matter get resolved?” Killian asked and I nodded my head. When I remembered that he wasn't with me here, I had to speak up. “Yes, thank you,” I said softly. He was the first person to ever take my side. And even if I didn't know what he had done, I appreciated the fact that he stood by me without knowing whose fault it was. “You can do whatever it is you want to, I'd always back you up,” He said, and then the line went dead. I clutched my phone in my hand, a smile breaking out on my face. “Sister, what happened to you?!” Eileen said with a gasp, wiping the smile away from my face. I turned to her with a blank look, a brow coming up. “Did someone hit you?!” She gasped. At that moment, Mr. Athanas stormed out of the office. He turned to me with a glare and then stormed past. “Sister, what happened?” She asked but I pushed past her too, heading for the art room. I had a lot of things to do. “You're here again?” The art teacher said, a warm smile on her face. I s
Mr. Lexington threw a glance at Erika, one that made her shiver quite noticeably. “You're against the marriage between them both?” The priest asked, seeming to be confused too. Erika opened her mouth to speak but Mr. Lexington cleared his throat once more. A silent warning to her. Everyone watched as Erika sat back down slowly, shaking her head and asking the priest to continue. She clenched her fist so tightly, digging her nails into her palm. “What were you thinking?” Her mother asked, slapping her thigh lightly. “You need to get rid of whatever feeling you have for Killian. He isn't the rich billionaire he was,” she said and Erika pouted. She knew all about that, and she was certain that she wouldn't want to be married to a blind crippled. Killian being blind was one thing, and his being both blind and crippled was another. Ruelle turned back to the priest asking him to continue. They had already wasted a few minutes because of Erika. She was tired and just wanted to go
Ruelle instantly reached out for Killain's belt, pulling it out.“Are you sure you want to?” Killian asked, holding her wrist. Ruelle nodded once more and Killian finally let her. He leaned against the headboard, spreading his legs and Ruelle laid in-between them. His zipper was undone and Ruelle pulled down his briefs, and he sprung out immediately. Ruelle stared at him, swallowing thickly. “You're big,” she muttered making him laugh.“I'd take that as a compliment,” Killian replied. “Have you ever done this before?” Killian asked ticking his jaw. For some reason, he didn't like the idea of her being in his state for someone who wasn't him.She had never done this before, and she felt nervous too. What if I bit him? She thought to herself as she stared at him. Every book she read has the characters warning against using her teeth.“What are you thinking about?” Killian asked and Ruelle voiced out her fears. “And the book says not to use your teeth,” she ended, still staring a
_Third Person POV_Ruelle stared up at the building, a slight smile on her face. She left school earlier than normal just to come here to see Killian. Killian wasn't aware of her visit, but she thought to surprise him. Taking a deep breath, she walked into the building, making heads turn to her immediately. Everyone stared at the beautiful lady that just walked in, their eyes widened in awe.The men stared at her with clear interest and lust, eyes roaming over her figure. Who was she is here to see?They wondered. Ruelle ignored the stares she got from people around, she walked up to the receptionist immediately. "Hello, I'm here to see Killian," Ruelle said, smiling politely. She let her eyes roam around the place, nodding in satisfaction to the interior decoration of the place. The receptionist stared at Ruelle with obvious distaste, giving her a once-over. "Do you have an appointment?" She asked, flipping through her book to search for her name. A name she never asked for
_Third Person POV_Ruelle was surprised when she found out that Killain had a hand in the current state of the Lexington Co-op."But how? That's impossible," Edward muttered, staring at the son he had discarded. "What did you think father? You'd plan my accident and expect me to just sit down and take it?" Killian asked. He had taken a different aura and was fierce now. Killian found no need to act weak, they had found out about his sight and legs. What use was it for?How that it was our, he was going to make all those that hurt his people pay. And he was going to start by making the Lexington family go bankrupt. "So what? You made a few calls, am I expected to bow to you now?" Edward asked sarcastically, staring at Killian with hatred. He always disliked this particular son of his and the reasons were quite obvious. Killian didn't bother if they were related or not, if he wanted to get rid of you, he would do so without any hesitation. "A few calls? I only needed to make ju
_Third Person's POV_Edward Lexington looked at Killian in anger and disbelief, unable to believe what was happening. He had done everything he could to make sure that Killian wouldn't be able to walk and see anymore, but what was this that he was looking at?Eileen stared at Killian, her hands clenched into fists by her side. "This could not be happening!" She thought to herself. Her eyes went from Killian who was standing gloriously, to Ruelle who stood by his side with pride. Did she know that Killian could see and walk all this while? Was that why she agreed to the wedding?At this moment, her hatred for Ruelle grew with each passing second. She once again stole what was meant to be hers!Ruelle turned to look at Eileen, noticing the look of anger on her face. "What's wrong Eileen? Why are you still here?" Ruelle couldn't help but ask, a smirk on her face. Knowing the type of person Eileen was, she knew to be cautious of her from now on. "Sister, did you know of Killian's a
_Ruelle’s POV_I tasted copper on my tongue as I turned my head to look at Mrs. Lexington. I wasn't expecting that hit and I ended up biting my tongue hard. The room temperature dropped a bit and I turned to look at Killian. ..his hands were folded in a fist and it seemed like he was holding himself back. “How dare you hit my wife?” Killian growled in anger. Mrs. Lexington grabbed my hair, pulling my head back. I bit back a cry as my eyes watered, letting her do whatever she wanted. “I told you to keep her in check, didn't I? Did you know what your wife has been doing? She has been smearing the Lexington name in mud!” Mrs Lexington exclaimed and I instantly knew that Eileen had said something to her.“What my wife has been doing has nothing to do with anyone and I would appreciate it if you stayed away from our business,” Killian warned, making Mr. Lexington laugh dryly. “Your wife has been going around whoring with men, she bears my surname and yet it's none of our business?!
_Ruelle's POV_I tightened my hold on Killian's hand as he slowly slipped inside me. My fingers dug into his skin, tears swelling in my eyes. “Do you want me to stop?” Killian asked, stopping immediately. He looked at me worried and I shook my head. “I'm fine,” I assured him. His eyes remained on mine as he started moving slowly, watching my face for any sign of pain. Slowly, the feeling of pain was replaced by pleasure and I felt myself wanting more. “Killian,” I moaned loudly, as his pace increased. Killian leaned in to kiss me, swallowing my loud moans. “Fuck, Ruelle,” He growled, taking my tits into his mouth. He sucked on one as he grounded the other with his hand. My arms wrapped around him, my fingers digging into his back. I could feel a building sensation in my lower abdomen and I threw my head back, whimpering. I wanted this, I wanted him. A tear drop rolled down my eyes, the feeling of pleasure and excitement bubbling through me. I could feel my release gett
_Ruelle’s POV_“Wha-what are you doing?” I stuttered staring at him as he walked closer.My heart thumped faster in my chest. The closer he came, the more excited I got. I tried to take a step back but my back met with the wall, and a light gasp escaped my lips. “Do you want a chase? You can't run from me, little mouse,” His voice sent shivers down my spine, making me feel things I wasn't certain I could feel. Killian had closed the distance between us, trapping me between his chest and the wall. I could smell his cologne from how close we were and I took a deep breath. “The last time you were drunk and I couldn't do anything to you. Now, you're going to beg me to stop touching you,” Killian whispered in my ears. His hot breath fanned my neck and I gulped. The worst part of it all was that I wanted him to touch me. My core throbbed harder, and I raised. my eyes to meet his. “Please,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. It only took that one word as a form of consent from
_Ruelle’s POV_My eyes closed on their own accord as Killian closed the gap between us. I grabbed his collar, pulling him closer to me as our kiss deepened. His arms wrapped tightly around me like he was afraid I was going to run from him. Slowly, he broke our kiss, placing his forehead on mine. I took a minute before my eyes opened and I stared into his dark eyes. They were a whirlpool of emotions, threatening to pull me in. “But.. how?” I stuttered, searching his face. My question wasn't properly asked, but he understood. How was he seeing, how did it happen? How was he even a judge for this? “I've been able to see for a while now. Even before I met you,”It took me a while to understand what he said, my eyes searching around in confusion. Wait.. wait.. Back up a minute.A lot of memories came rushing back to me, memories of when I had taken my clothes off around him. I had thought he was blind then. “Are you telling me you've been able to see almost this while?” I gritt
Eileen heard Ruelle whisper a man's name while staring at the judge who had just spoken. She looked between them, her eyes widening slightly. “Do you know that man? Is that why he is taking your side?” Eileen asked Ruelle, snapping her out of her thoughts The surprise on her face was instantly wiped off, being replaced by irritation. “Are we not going to talk about you stealing my work? I have proof that you did!” Ruelle hissed at Eileen. Her grey eyes burned with cold fury as she stared at her sister. She had been holding up her pent-up anger all this while and she was going to make sure that Eileen gets burnt. The competition was being aired on national television, she was going to make sure she destroyed Eileen's art career before it even started. Wanting to make a career with something you have no talent for was crazy, but Eileen seemed to think she could pull it off. “I didn't steal your work!” Eileen screamed, her nose flared as she breathed in deeply.She had stolen it
Ruelle stayed awake the whole night, painting two pieces that she would use for the art competition. The last piece was one she had done previously, a piece that was important for her plan to work. It was already 8:45 AM when Ruelle finally kept her paintbrush, taking a step back. She stretched her back, feeling relieved about being done. Ruelle picked up her phone, opening it to finally go through it. 20 twenty missed calls. And all were from Mrs. Indrik but none from Killian. Ruelle frowned when she saw that truly Killain didn't call her, neither did he leave her a text. He occasionally sent her texts but she knew that it was Matthew that typed for him. “I know I'm the one who told him not to call, but didn't he find it important to find out how I was doing?” Ruelle asked in disappointment. Thinking of the competition where she had to be, she called Mrs. Indrik who answered the call immediately. “The competition is about to start, where are you?” Mrs. Indrik’s rushed voic
