My thoughts were cut short when someone cleared their voice. As I turned to look at Sasha who had walked up to us, I found myself yanking my hand away. A feeling of self disgust threatening to overwhelm me. What the fuck is wrong with me? Had I just been tempted to make out with Damien? My Ex husband Damien? The man who had made my life a complete misery five years ago? Damien didn't seem very pleased by the interruption either. He was probably not happy at having his manipulation being cut short." I heard you were back in town " Sasha said, she glanced warily at Damien, I could swear I saw fear in her eyes as she quickly turned them to me. " I didn't dare believe you would wish to speak to me, but mom and dad have been very worried about you. They asked me to come here in hopes of meeting you "" How very kind of them " The memory of my parents only further soured my mood. I remembered my dad blaming me for my failed marriage and my mother begging me to forgive Sasha. " Send them my
A kissDamien West was kissing me. It was something I had dreamt about when I was younger, to feel his lips against mine. But I had no hope of it ever happening because Damien had made it clear on the day of our wedding that he had no interest in getting intimate with me. And yet here we were, pressed together and making out so passionately. His tongue had slipped into my mouth and was sucking against my tongue sweetly, I could taste the wine we had shared half an hour prior.His arm found the curve of my waist and pulled me closer to him, if that was even possible. At this point I wasn't even sure I could ever get over what a damn good kisser Damien was, he made my entire body go weak and only the pleasure of his touch registered to me.' Of course he is good at kissing ' The dark part of my mind which wasn't high on Damien's touch said ' He must have kissed a lot of women 'And that was the reality wasn't it? Damien was nothing more than a playboy, he had happily kept that reputatio
I didn't feel like facing the paparazzi again, so I asked one of the staff to show me a back exit. I waited briefly outside before my driver arrived and took me home. The moment I arrived at the mansion, I rushed upstairs to Winter's room. My arrival had startled the nurse." Mrs Walker?" Agatha rose from her seat, she watched me warily " Are you alright dear?"" I'm fine, don't worry about me " I gave her a smile which seemed forced even to me. I gestured over Winter's restful form on the bed " I just got back, I wanted to check on Winter first "" Do you wish to clean up first?"" No...I...this won't take long "Agatha must have sensed my emotional stress. It seemed like she wanted to say something more but decided against it. " I'll give you some privacy " She said as she took the book she had been reading and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.I walked slowly to Winter's bed and slid to my knees beside him. I laid my face on the soft bedding and felt the tears ru
Ashton's POV" Oh fuck...yes!!"Panting, moans, the sound of skin slapping against skin echoed in the dim bedroom. I couldn't hold back a low groan of pleasure as the woman riding me rolled her hips in a way that made my cock slid deeper inside her. She was so fucking good at this that I could simply lay back and enjoy her efforts. Well, I did hear she used to be in the porn industry in her younger years before she came into acting, she must have had a lot of practice." Take my Cock! take it!"" Yes yes yes! Oh mhm, I can feel you hitting my walls..." Valet slurred as she rode me faster. Her short blond hair was messy, her face was flushed and her black eyes were glassy from the pleasure. Looking at her, a picture of someone else came to mind. Despite how much I had tried to deny it, the reason I had taken Valet as my lover the night prior was because of the resemblance she had to...that woman.I could have had the real thing in my bed, I would have ensured to give her the pleasure D
Ashton's POV Later in the day, I decided to take a drive around town to clear my head. There was a remote area in the busy city that reminded me a lot of where I grew up. The lush forest, the tranquillity, and the smell of nature left me with a nostalgic feeling. I missed my adoptive mother and the pack I grew up in. I miss being the simple life I was raised in, I missed hunting with my adoptive father and helping my mother prepare dinners, I missed sitting by the fire and talking to them.. These were things I had taken for granted before, but now that I was forced to act like someone i wasn't, I wished I could return to my old life. But I had made a vow, and I would do whatever it takes to see it through. I leaned against my sleek black Ferrari and watched the part that led further into the woods, wondering if it would be a wise idea to go forward. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to fight off the urge to take a run once I was within the comforting shade of those lush trees. With a
Emelia's POVThe drive is silent. On multiple occasions, Damien would look at me like he wanted to say something, but he would decide against it. What the hell did he have to say anyways? I had made everything clear to him, just because I found him attractive still didn't mean I was ready to forgive him. Even if I ended up making a stupid choice and we slept together, it wouldn't budge my perspective. I was out to destroy him, nothing would change that. What I felt now was merely attraction, the thing that had led to my doom in the first place.The moment the car pulled up inside my compound and came to a stop in the parking lot. I was quick to exit the car, but not without Damien's arm brushing against my Lower back, trying and failing to get a hold of me. " Emelia..."Whatever he had to say, I didn't stop to listen. I continued walking until I was inside the house and then slammed the door shut. But I didn't leave immediately, instead I rested my head against the door and listened t
Emelia's POV "Is there something going on between you and Damien West?" " Mary.." " No, I know it's not appropriate for me to ask. But we've been friends even before you became CEO Em, I care about you. If there's something going on..." " There's nothing going on between Damien and I. How can you even think that, after all he's done " " That's what confuses me, Em. I know you said you hated him. But the pictures, the look you have whenever you both are together. There's hatred in your eyes, yes, but there's also attraction. It's what the Media sees. They are making a joke out if this babe " " I plan to avoid him, I do " " Maybe you do, but he doesn't seem intent on letting you do so. Whatever happens, remember that you are married, the world knows, you know, and Damien knows as well. If things go down you have the most to lose " Mary walks out of the room after saying this. I was left feeling confused and angry. Was that why the whole office was talking behind my back? Be
Emelia's POV " You may remain here as long as you wish, I hardly care " " I didn't need you permission " Anna said disdainfully " However, I need you to get me a job with ' Mirabel Maison ', they will be hosting a fashion week this month and I want to be apart of it " I looked at Anna like she had grown a second head. I was familiar with Mirabel Maison, It was only one of the top fashion industries in show biz. Some of their models have even worked with us, but that had been when the business was still under Molly And Desmond. I was barely CEO for a few years and Anna already expected me to perform a miracle. " I could recommend you to..." " No " She cut me short " I want a contract " " You can't expect me to demand they give you a contract! I've never even worked with them officially, " It would not only seem disrespectful that I was pushing someone to them, but it would appear arrogant of me as well. People would think I was becoming too cocky with my position. That was certain
"Oh no, he's going to get you in trouble again," Evelyn bit her lips anxiously. Silas couldn't help but follow the movement. He wasn't known by his circle to be a patient person, but he didn't urge her to make a decision quickly. This frightened birdie had a weak mental state; he didn't want to push her into doing something she didn't want to.Besides, this might be the first time he was asking a woman out—usually, they just threw themselves at him."Alright then, but...would you be okay with me telling my father about you? Perhaps if he knows that you are the one who saved me, he might get off my back.""Sure, do as you wish.""How do you plan on doing this? Beth is very skilled; she doesn't even let me go to the bathroom alone.""Don't worry." He glanced at the woman briefly, then rose to his feet and gestured for Evelyn to follow. The blond girl blushed when he held her hand in his; those who didn't know their relationship would think they were a couple. "Your bodyguard isn't the o
Meet him? He was willing to meet up with her?Evelyn was stunned; it took her a long while to finally digest what her savior was proposing. From their short interaction, she’d thought he didn’t have a good view of her, he might even think she was annoying. But who would have thought that he would propose to meet up again!Her excitement died down, however, when she recalled the events of yesterday. Silas hadn’t hesitated to shoot those people; it was the first time Evelyn had been involved in a violent scene. There was something dark about him; perhaps he was involved in a gang or something. Either way, it meant he wasn’t safe, and the best option would be to stay away from him.Plus, her father and uncle were already mad at her; how could she do something to annoy them again? But she was curious about Silas; she had so many questions for him. If she passed off this opportunity, then who knows when she would get the chance to see him again."I’ll be there."Her mind was already made u
Sensing the rising tension, Luciano finally interfered. "It's enough now, both of you." He turned his gaze to Ashton; there was a bit of guilt in his eyes. "I will speak with him."Ashton scoffed, and with one last glare at his son, he walked out of the room. Only when he saw his father retreating back did Silas allow his emotions to reflect on his face. He was in disbelief; just now, he had been a bit scared that the man might take action. The way Ashton had stared at him was like looking at a dead thing, cold and detached.Slowly, he sat back on the sofa, his hands trembling by his side, which made him feel very irritated. "What would you like to talk to me about?""The girl you met—you shouldn't get involved with her anymore.""Why?""The reason is not important.""Not important?" Silas laughed dryly. "You saw his reaction just now. Did that imply that whatever is happening here isn't important? You all are trying to hide such a big secret, and you want me to play the role of an id
Silas was back in Italy by the next morning. Thankfully, he got to his grandfather's house just as his father's car stopped in front of the compound. The handsome man was dressed meticulously in a three-piece suit, his hair kept short and neatly cut. He exuded an air of coldness that intimidated those around him.Luciano came out to greet his adoptive son, a smile playing on his lips. "I didn’t expect you to come here today. To what do I owe the visit?""I'm here to bring the boy home. His mother worries.""He is old enough to go wherever he wants, Amore. There’s no need to coddle him. He is a Beriosova, after all."'That's it,' Ashton thought to himself. 'It's exactly because I know he is a Beriosova.'The longer Silas stayed in a place like this, the harder it would be to untangle him from the web of crime and illegal business his grandfather governed. Ashton hated this kind of lifestyle the most. He had left the compound after marriage, choosing to start an honest business his fami
Though the man was visibly angry, how could Evelyn leave just like that? She didn’t know why she was still lurking around; a part of her just wanted to get to know this person more. She felt an instant connection to him.Or perhaps it was the resemblance he shared with her mom. Every time she looked at his face, she was left feeling dazzled. He was simply too handsome; just one look into his eyes and she would get flustered. How nice it would be to befriend this person. Only then could she properly repay him for his help.“You don’t understand how difficult it was to find you. Now that I’m here, I can’t simply leave just like that. At least let me take you out for dinner.” No, that sounded like she was asking him out on a date! Seeing the man’s face darken further, she quickly added, “Or we can just talk here. I don’t mind.”“First of all, I don’t appreciate being stalked.” The fact that she had even managed to find him meant he hadn’t been on guard in the first place. That wouldn’t d
It was Saturday the next day, so she slept far into the morning than usual. She was awakened due to the constant pinging sound her phone made. Groggily, she picked it up and checked the messages; her eyes were wide with shock when she saw that the information had been sent to her. Bella was very meticulous in her work; she'd managed to pinpoint the exact location where the car was being stationed at the moment.The Moonlite Imperial Hotel, a five-star hotel whose history could also be traced back to the Royal family. It was once a mansion which was gifted to a young princess by her father. Though the hotel wasn't very big, due to its historical background and beautiful scenery, it was a popular tourist attraction.Those who stayed at this hotel were clearly people who had the money. Evelyn had been there once on a school tour. It was located in a remote part of town, nearly two hours' drive away from her father's company.Two damn hours!! Now, how the hell was she supposed to achieve
Molly Walker, the one person Winter couldn't silence. Knowing how malicious his mother was towards his wife and daughter, Winter preferred it if she remained in New York instead of visiting. While he could punish those who dared to spread rumors about his daughter's legitimacy, at least their words were only speculations based on very thin evidence.But Molly knew the truth, and though she never pointed it out directly, her hints weren't exactly subtle. And Winter respected her enough not to have her threatened; he could only watch with great dissatisfaction as she ran her mouth over issues that were of no concern to her."Dad?" Evelyn had gotten out of the car and was waiting for him to do the same, only she saw that the man was lost in his thoughts and was glaring down at the steering wheel like it had offended him greatly."You go in first, I'll be right behind you."Evelyn easily agreed and left the parking lot. She went into the house. The smell of delicious food came from the ki
Unknowingly, she began to entertain the thought of actually considering Sage's proposal.She couldn't take her eyes off him in class. She hadn't noticed just how tall and good-looking he was before; now, it was all she could think about."Ms. Walker, mind taking your eyes off Sage for a moment and paying attention to the board?" The teacher's voice snapped her out of her thoughts, and it also drew the entire class’s gaze to her. Some found it sincerely amusing, while others, particularly Sage's female admirers, gave her warning looks.Evelyn shrank back in her seat, her face aflame with embarrassment. She hadn’t even realized she'd been watching Sage so intensely that even the teacher had noticed.Sage looked over his shoulder at the embarrassed girl and couldn’t help an amused chuckle. "Damn, you finally have her in the bag," his friend and seatmate, Josh, exclaimed. Knowing how long the school heartthrob had been pining for the Winter girl, he was genuinely surprised at her sudden i
His pupil's visibly dilates. When being stared at by those orbes which were as dark as the abyss, Evelyn found herself startled. She was clearly teasing him, who knew he would have such a strong reaction.His hand trembled and she involuntarily let him go, fearing that she had crossed a boundary that shouldn't be transpired. Had she, in her haste to dispel the conversation made Sage uncomfortable? That can't be, it was simply just touching her through her shirt, there was no direct skin to skin contact. She was just about to appologize she she felt the hand she was holding being retracted back. She could only let go and stare at him with a hint of embarrassment." I just meant..."" I know. A joke " While his expression was once complicated, now it had smoothed over and one wouldn't be able to know whether he had been angry or felt something else. " Even though you think of it lightly, this matter is still very serious. If possible, let's not talk about it again "Evelyn could only a
