Kara opened her eyes in a snap, her gaze meeting his with confusion.

"A day till your engagement. And then what...? A wedding?" he tilted his head to the side in a sarcastic way.

Kara turned her head away, her stomach feeling like something heavy had been dropped there that was making her heart feel heavy. Her gesture made James even closer to her as he brought his face to her neck and whisper near her ear, "don't worry. You are going to be mine only."

Panicked, Kara tried to free her wrist, "Ja

  Kara came out of the party exhausted to her bones. She was tired after keeping her lips in a smile the whole time they met their old friends and classmates. She was not happy, because most of them were just there to inquire in how much wealth Kara was going to be after marrying Damon and if their relationship was a business deal. She heard murmurs and she heard gossips, all she wanted to do was return to her room and as the clock struck one am, she gave the invitation card with Damon to the host and walked out of the party, letting Damon know that she wanted to go home.She walked outside and deeply inhaled the fresh air. After a few minutes, James drove out of the parking in the SUV but Kara did not get in. Feeling him near herself was already too hard to bear, and currently, she was not in the state of being anywhere near close to him.A few minutes later Damon came out running towards them, "Sorry, took a bit long." he smiled at Kara while handing over the purse to

  "James you are crossing the lines of...""Uncle, please calm down." Kara interrupted them as she came between them to stop the fight that was about to get heavier, "James is right, Uncle. Please, I need to know what is happening right now. How the hell are you guys getting attacked by gunshots because of me? I... I don't think I have ever done anything that would...""It is not your fault." James stopped her as his voice turned gentle.Neil was not convinced and still agitated at James for speaking out. But now as the words were out, they could not be taken back and he did not have any other option left.James came close to Kara and started, "Your parents had not made their will when they had died. Although I had managed to transfer t

  "That is not true, Kara." James said softly, and then before he could say anything, the line disconnected and the call ended. Worried, he instantly called back but the phone had turned switched off.Kara clicked on the screen of her phone repeatedly but it didn't turn back on. Growling in frustration she gulped down the last glass of tequila in front of her and stood up and then instantly stumbled. A guy standing on the bar right beside her tried to grab her but before he could touch her, some else slipped his arms in her waist, holding her possessively close to him.James pressed Kara against his body and exited the bar without uttering a word. The only thing he was caring about was Kara who was tripping on each step. He was tempted to lift her up in his arms but couldn't as there were too many people around them. So he quietly led her

  Kara kept staring at him. Her hand slipped out and the tips of her fingers touched his chin, and then his lower lip. James closed his eyes at the feeling of her touch while she continued to slip her fingers on his lips like tracing a path. He kissed her finger softly. She slipped her fingers from his hard jaw and then to his cheek."James." she whispered softly.James opened his eyes when he felt her moist face snuggling in his neck, she was sobbing silently and he kept on holding her close to himself before bending down to kiss the top of her head,"Everything will be fine. I will make everything alright. I promise.""You will not leave me, right?" she murmured."Not even if you beg me to."Kara pulled her face back and looked up at him and shook her head softly and said in a slurred tone,"I am dreaming. When the morning comes, the dream will be over."James felt helpless in front of her. When her sobbing subsided, she whispered,"Mama put my hand in Dam

  This was the worst hangover anyone could have ever gotten in their lifetime- was the first thought that entered Kara's mind as soon as she opened her eyes. Her mind was completely blank, and hurting when she peeped open one eye to look around the room until her eyes fell on the clock on the side table showing one pm. It was not like this was the first time she had drunk herself to unconsciousness. Back in the college she used to get drunk until she was no longer aware of what was around her whenever Damon came to visit her. He would take her out of the house that she stayed holed up in and let her do whatever she wanted for the whole night. But even then her hangovers were never this painful. Maybe her head was throbbing too much this time because she had cried her eyes out last night. Getting up from the bed she grabbed the phone off

  "What the fuck?!" Damon cursed angrily while flipping around. But he had barely turned before James grabbed his shoulder and threw him back, making him fall on the ground with a loud thud."What the hell is wrong with you?" Damon shouted furiously while getting up on his feet and striding towards James."How fucking dare you hide such a big thing from me?" James' voice was colder than ice, his demeanor completely calm that hid the overpowering thunder simmering inside every inch of his skin, "why the fuck am I the only one who did not know about anything related to Kara?""What are you talking about?"James strode forwards hastily, his hand instantly grabbing Damon's neck as his control snapped completely, "You already knew I loved her, right? You fucking always knew what was between her and me. Why the fuck did you hide about the engagement from me? Why the hell did you not tell me anything?"Damon was silent for a few seconds, his mind racing fas

  Kara waited a bit for James to return to the hotel after receiving the last text from Damon. She tried to call him but could not connect. In the end, she grabbed her wallet from the table and ran out of the hotel. After getting inside a cab, it took her an hour and a half before she got out hastily and ran inside through the main doors of James' home. She was just crossing the small garden when her gaze fell upon a silhouette sitting in the garden swing, looking lost. She recognized James instantly and walked towards him. Taking a seat beside him on the swing she waited for him to say something. The silence between them was strange but she did not try to console or talk to him about the matter. Waiting for him to open up.Eventually, James' shoulders relaxed and he leaned back on the swing."I fought with mom and dad. Their words hurt e

  Kara looked at the ring on her hand in a daze as she laid on her bed. The moonlight fell on the shining diamond, creating a mesmerizing reflection. It was a beautiful ring. But it had not come the one she wanted it from.*****The morning came around and everyone gathered at the dining table for Breakfast. Everyone was sitting at the table and Kara was busy in the kitchen filling up the plates.

Damon leaned in and asked in a low tone.

  One Year Later…“Let’s end the session here.” Mrs. Viva, James’ therapist offered a genuine smile, “a year passed so quickly. You have changes so much, and in a good way.”James stared at the door eagerly before turning his face in Mrs. Viva’s direction, “Thank you. This is our last session, right?”“Yes.” Mrs. Viva laughed, “and hopefully, I will never see you again. At least not in my office. I would not mind getting occasional invites to your high profile parties though.” her last words finished with a wink.James smiled, and once again glanced at the door with puppy dog, desperate eyes.

  Slowly he started to lightly brush her still shuddering clit with his cock's head. With her clit receiving this erotic stimulation, her pussy started dripping her cum down on the ground.He then slowly slid the crown of his thickness inside her hole, barely sliding in before pulling out swiftly. She was already dripping so much, and his teasing, constant strokes made her even more desperate."You love me, right?" James put his thumb on her asshole and pushed in slowly, while his cock teased her entrance mercilessly.Both of her thighs were wet. He could clearly see how much she wanted him but he wanted to hear it from her and tease her.She felt a burn as James slowly slid inside her, almost halfway, but then stopped. His hands trembled on her hips, but he did not go any further, hearing a whimper slip past her lips."You want me, don't you?"He pressed his lips in to her shoulder and one of his hands moved down to her clit and started to ru

  James smiled in pure happiness the moment she said those words. He heard the sound of a loud growl leaving her lips as she wrapped her hands around his shoulders and flipped him on his back. She climbed on the top of him, keeping her weight on her elbows and knees, she loomed over his hard body. Her lips touched the hard, yet soft skin, her tongue darting out to taste him and lick him hungrily. James groaned loudly, his hand slipped in her hair to fist roughly to stop her from going down. She forcibly pushed at his hand to earn another growl from him.Her teeth sank in his nipple, earning a rough his that vibrated from his chest. Within a few seconds, her top and bra were on the floor but before she could make another move, James came on the top of her and took her mouth carnally. His hand pinched her hard bud and then replaced it with his hot mouth, sucking on it roughly.Her moans filled the room, her nails scratched his back, which only earned her more harsh sucking

  Pacifying one's anger is not the hard toughest thing in the world, but seeing the indifference from your love- that tears you apart from inside.James went through the same feeling when Kara turned indifferent to him. And this was not angry indifference. This was polite indifference. She stopped getting angry at him for everything. She answered his every word, but from a distance.A week passed by and James never saw her smile at him again. She was not angry and she did not cry, in fact, she was just the opposite. She was smiling when she talked with others, especially when his family came to the office to meet her one by one. His mom, his dad, even Damon. Especially Damon, because she seemed to be filled with guilt for abandoning him on the day of the marriage. Even when Damon apologized to her for what he had done- for being the bad person to tell that woman named Lila to bring up Damon's name in front of her- she did not get angry and forgave him right away.

  Kara opened the door and left without saying anything to him. The whole day she avoided even coming in front of him. James could only look at her dull face that she tried to hide behind a fake smile while talking to the colleagues.When Damon came to the office, it was already filled with hushed whispers about the whole fight between Kara and James. And when he came to the department, it was not hard for him to recognize the sadness in her eyes. His stern, furious gaze turned to James who was sitting in his office, his gaze coming constantly to Kara.Without a second thought, Damon stormed inside James' office. His hands came down to rest on the table when he asked with clear anger in his voice, "You did that to her again, didn't you?"James leaned back in his chair, unaffected by Damon's dominating frustration, "And how do you know it is me?""Because nothing else can cause her that fucking heartbreak which shows in her eyes." Damon hissed furiously, "Ov

  James' face grew grim as soon as he heard the words that Lila said. He grabbed Kara's hand in his own and pulled her towards their seat. He helped her get seated by pulling her chair for her. The table was already filled with food of different kind."Have your dinner." He put his hand on her shoulder and kissed the side of her temple, "I will be back in a bit."He started to move away while turning towards the exit but Kara grabbed his hand at the very last minute, stopping him in his tracks, "Where are you going?"She knew where he was going. But she wanted him to confirm her suspicion.."Nowhere." he responded and pulled his hand out of her grasp, settling her palm back on the table, "be back soon. Finish your dinner, baby."He turned around again to leave but Kara grabbed his wrist, this time standing up on her feet

  The man lifted up his bloody face, his nose spraying blood on the ground profusely."How dare you? Who the he-" the man stopped his angry rant as soon as he saw James' face, the expressions rapidly changing from furious to scared one within a matter of a few seconds."Mr. Sullivan?" he spoke through the blood with an awkward laugh while trying to wipe it off with his hands desperately, "ooooh... ohhh this is so embarrassing! I did not expect to see you here. Are you alright?""Baby, what are you doing?!" Lila whined and came to grab the man's arm while she shot an angry glare to James, "how dare you to hurt my boyfriend! Do you even know how he can wipe you like dirt from the ground? He owns Livion Industries! You and your bitch girlfriend, just watch how-"The old man grabbed Lila's arm in a rough hold as he gritted out, "Shut the fuck up, you dumb bitch! He is James Sullivan!""So what if he is! What has it got to do with us?!" Lila continued shouting outr

  Damon left but he had scratched the wound in Kara's heart that was already bleeding. The animosity between Damon, James, and his family had deepened so much. James' stubbornness was making everyone's life harder.When the door to the bedroom opened, Kara sat up and turned towards the door to find James coming in to sleep on the same bed."James, sleep in some other room."James ignored her and grabbed the blanket, covering his bottom body with it, and turned his head in Kara's direction, "We are married. I am going to sleep with my wife."Kara sighed at his words and tried to get up and out of the bed to sleep in another room but he grabbed her by her waist and pulled her back in the back in one swift pull. His arm covered

  "I want to talk to her." Damon responded without removing his gaze from Kara's sleeping form. She had dark circles under her eyes as she slept in Jame's arms. Damon was not even sparing a glance to James because he knew that the moment he looked at him, he is going to break out in absolute fury."She is not available. Get out." James said dismissively and turned around to walk away.He had taken a couple of steps forward when a hand on his shoulder snatched him back harshly. James turned around without loosening his hold on Kara. Anger was clear in his eyes when he stared at Damon's seething form."Don't make me punch you in the face." Damon muttered through clenched teeth and expanded his hands, ready to snatch Kara out of James' arms but James turned sideways, throwing daggers at Jam
