Chapter Thirty: Date

last update Last Updated: 2024-07-19 23:59:12

"By the way, can I get a reward for handling myself yesterday?"

I ask playfully as I throw my legs on the dashboard and let the breeze flutter my hair.

I don’t know why I am so comfortable with him driving after yesterday or why he insists on driving when there are hired drivers, but that’s no reason not to enjoy the ride.

There are so many things I want to know about him, mainly about Blair, what he felt after killing Victoria, why this life of crime, and why he has such an easy time killing.

“A reward?"

He asks as he rests his head on his shoulder and drives with one hand.

"Yes."

"I mean, technically, you were about to leave a loose end."

He insists.

“I don’t like…harsh methods.”

I answer.

“And anyway, I already took care of it, so… reward!”

I insist.

Taz wants forty-six hundred thousand; well, he told me, forty-six hundred thousand or to be his wingwoman, but I’m not hopeful about Christopher letting me go to an S&M club, especially since the dress code is lingerie. Hence, I need t

    "I don't smoke. Plus, I'm thirteen."I say as I brush the dirt off my skirt.Todd transferred to my school after we started dating. Hmm, I could have sworn his shirt had holes when we first met.I thought he was poor, but I guess not if he can afford this academy."That's true; I didn't smoke when I was your age either."He says, throwing his hand over my shoulder as we walk.He has new friends that he makes me hang around. I don’t like them; they smoke, drink and talk about everyone as if the rest of the world is garbage.No, I shouldn’t think that; I want to be around him so much that I follow him to the scary group."That was like a year ago; you make it sound like it’s been ages since you were thirteen.”Todd smiles at my response, pulls my chin to his height and kisses me.My first kiss tastes like cigarettes.I don’t feel the need to tell him its my first kiss, I’m sure he knows.~~~~~~~"I... don't think your friends like me.""It's probably because you...ugh, how do I say thi

    "Are you crazy?"Even as I scream the question, I can't really hear my voice.I can’t tell if I am loud or if my throat is hoarse because I’m from sleeping. Please let it be the latter.Dear God, don’t let me be loud only for this level of reaction from Christopher; he doesn’t even look at me.Juniper rushes to the groaning man who is curling himself on the ground; there is so much blood on the road.My widened gaze drops to my trembling hands as I examine my body.My summer orange dress is stained red.I can't, I can't do this.I can’t keep living like this! I can’t keep seeing blood…like this.Hot tears fill my eyes as the tremble in my body begins to grow more evident.I want to scream and as if sensing my thoughts, Juniper's scream fills the air."Oh my God, Benjamin, Ben, are you okay?"She asks as she cradles him, not caring that the blood smeared on her clothes."Do I look okay!"He yells and cradles his hand in his stomach.Even though his remark is sharp, it helps me relax, if

    "S and M."Christopher says the words with emphasis.From his tone, it’s not a question, but I am sure as hell that he wants an answer."I wasn't going to go."Ah, shit. Why does my voice sound so low now? Did he even hear my answer?I clear my throat and try again.“I wasn’t going to go.”"Then why is it coming up?"Christopher asks, and the phone that is now on speaker and in his hand blares."You weren't? Baby! How could you.""Fucking, Taz!"I yell and stand from the ottoman, ready to snatch my phone from him, but Christopher raises it higher.Why is he built tall like this?"Are you really going to pay me? Baby, I don’t need money; I need a wing woman, and you are the best perv magnet in the game!”" I'll send you the money as soon as I get to the bank."I yell my reply as I jump to get the device, but no matter how high I leap, I can't reach it.My eyes fall on Christopher’s armpits as I consider tickling him, but with the amount of muscle on his body, if I touch him, I might sl

    "You have lifted Henry in your arms. That sweet and innocent life. So no, Christopher. No. It hurts."She replied as if she was certain."It must hurt so badly that your body has accepted that pain as normal."‘Ugh...I can't stand people who just hurt others like that! There is a justice system in place for a reason. Gangs are just monsters.'Blair's words played in his ears.She had said them before she knew who he was, and even after she died, she never really knew the extent of the ‘monster’ that he was; that was why it was hard for him to believe that Blair truly loved him.'Can't you just kill them? They messed up my nails on purpose and talked shit about me.’Victoria's words followed.She was easier to please than anyone.But in his arms was someone he’d shown his worst, and yet still…His heart, which was silent, began to beat loudly.No…no, it can't.Christopher panicked.It was a betrayal to Blair that his heart was racing because of the brown-eyed, clumsy woman in his arms.

    Christopher's hands hesitate before they wrap around Henry.For some reason, he looks deep in thought."How is my little cutie?"Henry giggles at my question and grabs a fistful of Christopher’s shirt."Where did mummy go? I missed mummy."Henry asks.Video calls would have been fine, but Henry cried so much on the first one and demanded that we return, so Olivia thought the best way to handle his separation anxiety would be distance. It seemed to have worked, but I didn’t think he’d cry just because he couldn’t reach the door handle.So cute.My hands itch to steal him from Christopher's lap, but he is curled so comfortably that I can't bring myself to."We should head inside. Mum is going to drop by soon, and Teo volunteered to cook for us, so…something to look forward to."I flinch at the mention of Mum; considering how we left things at the wedding, I didn't expect to see her this soon.“Great.”I say with a sigh.**The dinner is noisier than expected.Because of the kids, food k

    "Hey, hey...what are you doing?"A harsh hand grabs my own with such force when I try to turn the SUV's alarm off that I almost scream.For some reason, I expect Christopher, but instead, it's the brown-haired bodyguard."I need...I need to go."I stammer the words, but at least they are out of my mouth."Go where? you and the boss just arrived."He asks, his expression desperate.To some extent, I understand him. It is deep in the night, and I am standing outside Christopher’s car with his keys and no Christopher in sight, despite clear signs that I want to leave. It’s almost like I am running away."Hospi- I need to get to the hospital."He furrows his brows and sighs at my breathy response."Fine, let me confirm with-""I'll just drive myself.""Do you want me to die?"He asks."You won't die; he said he doesn't kill his family. ""Hah, yeah, he'll just post me somewhere where I'm most likely to die.""Then...when I'm caught, I won't say that you saw me leave."I urge, but to that,

There are children working under your husband, children as young as eight being explo-""They need to make a living somehow. Do you hate him for creating employment? What has yours done besides putting him in a hospital? ""Yeah..."I answer with a chuckle."Right? My husband is the worst, but I know he wouldn’t ‘create employment opportunities’ amongst kids who should be in school. I know he wouldn’t exploit them for cheap labour and steal their chances at literacy. There is free public education in Devnia, darling; your argument isn’t fooling anyone.""Do you think I hate your husband? I don’t.”I ask, and answer my own question with a sigh.“Especially since mine shot his dominant hand, so there is no way Benjamin, or whatever his name is, could have laid a hand on you. Even if he is ambidextrous, a woman in true fear would use any opportunity to escape danger. But how would you know? You’ve never bee

What kind of answer is that?”“It's ‘an answer’?”I shrug.“That I am asking for too much?"I don't nod to his question or respond verbally; instead, I tug his arm towards the elevator, but he withdraws it."Say it.""I have already said it.”"Say it so that I can understand; ‘say that the father of my child is asking too much when he says he wants me to depend on him’.""Christopher.""Say it!"Why is he angry?I don’t…understand this. Why is he changing things? Why can’t we stop now? I don’t want this; I don’t want to put my heart on the line for someone like him.With a sigh, I turn to face him fully."Tell me, Christopher, when did you last compare me to Blair?”"What?"He frowns."Are you deaf?""Elizabeth."He calls warningly, so I try softening my words.“I’m not as outgoing as her, I’m not as smart as her, I am not even as funny as she is, and yet you had to get rid of the person living in your house th

    I feel the need to mention that, no Etienne and Anthony were harmed during the time skip in the last chapter; they were just posted away from the main family to Italy. Jokes on Christopher, they liked it because they were paid to laze around without the tension of him grumbling all over the place.I'd also like to ask your vote on a setting, would you love to read a transmigration, body switch or rebirth story?Rebirth would be when the female lead dies and goes back in time for whatever reason and purpose.A body switch would be the female lead going into another person's body. Maybe they were rich and ungrateful, and now they have entered the body of another woman who works under an obsessive billionaire, and there are consequences when they refuse to work and instead resign.Finally, transmigration would be if the female lead enters a novel they have read, whether they loved it or not. You know I love villains, so of course it’s the villain’s body that they enter. So, an example wou

    Hi guys!We are finally at the end of the story!! Thank you so so much for reading, thank you for voting and thank you for loving the work and leaving a review; if you haven’t, please do.This last chapter is especially dedicated to anyone dealing with anxiety or depressive symptoms; it is a season, and it will pass. If your best is opening a window, open it. If your best is just basic self-care, taking a shower, moisturising, and putting the pyjamas right back on, do that. One step at a time. You are more loved and valued than you believe, and medication doesn't make you 'weak' or a 'failure'. Don’t be afraid to reach out, but more than that, don’t be afraid when people reach out, say 'yes' to that trip to the beach or bowling gig, or hell, to a walk just around the corner. We are all one.For my next work, it will still be a billionaire romance, and the male lead will still be a walking red flag. Aren’t they just the best?

    "But-""It's fine; I'll be back soon.”I say reassuringly to Henry.I wave off his innocent concern despite half my face being covered by his hand.If he were to slap me the same way I slapped him, I'd probably end up in the ICU. Despite knowing that, I leave Henry with Etienne in the living room and follow him like a prisoner escorted to their sentencing.**"You went to the hospital. What for?"This is not the beginning of the conversation I expect, nevertheless, Christopher’s gaze as he closes the door behind me doesn’t leave my face."The headaches, but I have the medicine, so it's fine; more than that, I haven't seen Anthony in days. Did you change my guard?""Anthony?"Christopher asks with a frown, his mouth twisting as if he has eaten something rotten."Who are you calling 'Anthony'?""My- my bodyguard, with brown hair, you assigned him to me."I explain as if he doesn’t already have that information.What is this? What is he playing at?"Did I? And he told you his name? He an

    Christopher D’Amico "Spare me."It took three hours to track Alessio and four hours to corner him like this.Yet this was the nonsense he was spewing?"No."Christopher answered.The gun in his hand had no more bullets, so he hit the back of Alessio's head, causing him to fall to the ground. Of course, Alessio didn't come easily, so the blood he tasted from his lips was his.Hopefully, it wouldn’t leave a mark, but even if it did, the wound was inside his mouth, so Elizabeth would not see it.Still, it didn't matter.Everything would end today, and he could head back to Italy to find another man to take his position.Positions in the mafia could only be replaced through death; there was no such thing as a fair trial, only retirement, that was hard-earned.Alessio held his head at the point of impact as if he thought his skull had shattered. There was blood coming from his head, but Christopher heard nothing crack, at least not yet.Still, there was little he could do to guarantee the

    Blood. He smells like blood. No, not just smells; he has blood on his clothes.Closing my eyes and opening them, I focus on the bouncing bunny on the screen while Henry bobs his head to the tune.Before long, his little head sways left and right before falling to my stomach as he was resting between my legs, and a soft snore follows.Aww... how precious.His little hands curl against the fabric of my clothes.I should take him to bed; I think Christopher has eaten by now or should be eating, so there should be an interruption.My hands move to scoop him up, but a voice stops me."Is there a reason you are both on the floor when there are perfectly suitable seats next to you?""Henry and I used to sit like this in the old house.”I explain without turning back to him."Are you thinking of the good old times?”His words seem pointed, so I lift Henry in my arms and turn to him with a frown."What is that supposed to mean?”I ask, noticing the curls in his poorly dried hair.Wait, wasn’t

    My gaze lingers on the orange glow of the streetlights while my mind centres on the sounds of the cars whooshing past us.My sex is fine now. Other than mild tickling sensations that will go away after three or four rinses in the shower. I am fine.Well, I guess the dull ache choking my throat is something else entirely."You've been quiet for a while now."Christopher comments as he makes a turn to the estate.Of course, I have been quiet. Yesterday, I went to bed and woke up believing that he liked me, that I could have him wrapped around my finger if I tried, and that gave me the confidence to say no to him at the club, and now, I realise that I had gotten ahead of myself.I almost ruined the marriage.There is no divorce, but if perchance he changes his mind, I'll have nothing. I'll lose the one thing I came into the marriage with—Henry.He doesn't like or love me; he is curious about me. Is that even the best way to describe it?Maybe it's more he thinks he likes me.Fuck... if I

    "No. Never. Not when I am with you. No-"“Not anymore, right? That’s what you want to say next, isn’t it?”I ask as the grip I had on Alessio’s leash lessens.Christopher’s lips seal as if he had no answer to my question.“I…I really can’t believe you even know what love is- ah, that’s why you said you don’t have feelings… ah, I got ahead of myself.”My voice grows smaller as I mumble the new findings."Elizabeth, please...please."“Please, what? That's so vague, considering you need me to call you the way another woman does to get you to orgasm.”I ask as I turn to face him.I think I should leave now; this…this is enough to break any ‘soft’ girl’s heart."Please... believe me. Not with you. I never think of anyone but you."He repeats as if sensing my mood."I'm half out of my mind because of the lube they applied on me, and you can't cum until I call you the nickname the 'love of your life’ called you.""You are the love of my life."Does... he even know what that means?“Then why d

    "God damn it, Elizabeth!"Christopher yells as he rattles the cuffs binding him.“I said, let's talk about this later. I didn’t say ‘no’.”"You shut me down twice. I don't trust you not to lock me up somewhere and shut me down a thirty time when there are no consequences.""I won't-""Yeah...see now, I don't trust easily. That's kind of the problem with us... what did you call me? 'broken? Soft?”"Elizabeth.""Let's move on to the third round."I yell, and as if on cue, the announcer produces a tune to signal the entrance to the third round."He can choose. He can choose what he wants! He can choose, but he needs to have the full picture."Christopher finally gives in."I want it in writing.""Done. I'll get it to you by Monday morning. I'm sorry, Elizabeth. I'm sorry that I shut you down and made you feel that this was the only way to communicate. Please...please stop this.""Why? Aren't you having fun? You even left me at the store to get dragged here.""That bastard Taz-""Yes, th

    "Bu-but I've lost."Participant One defended as if he took Christopher’s words seriously."You touched what is mine."The answer came back coldly.The blindfold covering my eyes feels like a burden. I want to see the expression on Christopher’s face. No, I want to see the expression on everyone’s face.I can still feel the echoes of Participant One’s fingers on my nipples. This is going to be harder than I thought."Hey, this thing has consent written all over it; she consented. So why are you threatening me?"The man asks, his desperate voice bordering on whiney."I didn't consent to you touching my wife.""Yes, you did, Taz-""Ah yes, mentioning another dead man."Christopher says in a light tone; one could almost think he is joking. Almost."Bu-""Next Participant."The announcer announced, perhaps bored with the back and forth."I'm out.""Wait, but..."The familiar voice of Participant One hesitates, perhaps hating that a participant backed down instead of doubling down like him.
