Will You Marry Me? 026: Go Back
ANYA Less than twenty minutes later, I saw Bernice walking toward me, a suitcase in each hand. She looked around and spotted me near the car. Her eyes widened slightly as she took in the sleek, expensive vehicle. "This isn’t the car you drove before," she remarked, setting her bags down. "I would remember if your car was this sleek." "It’s a new car," I replied with a small shrug. "A gift." Her gaze sharpened. "From Hunter?" I nodded. "Yes." Her smile faltered, the corners of her mouth pulling downward. I noticed, but I didn’t say anything. There was already enough tension in the air. We loaded her bags into the trunk, and she slid into the passenger seat. The drive home was quiet at first, just the hum of the engine and the soft rush of the wind. "Thanks for helping me, Anya," Bernice said after a while, her voice barely above a whisper. "That’s what friends are for," I replied. She looked out the window, her fingers tapping nervously on her lap. I wondered what s

ANYA My heart raced as Bernice's words echoed in my head. For a fleeting moment, I had felt relieved when she offered to take my place in Hunter's room. But then, the weight of the situation crashed down on me like a wave. This wasn’t just about me. I couldn’t risk the life of Evans, my best friend, my anchor in this nightmare. Hunter wasn’t a man you could predict. What if Bernice’s actions enraged him? What if he ordered Evans’ death out of spite? I shook my head, clearing my thoughts. I couldn’t let that happen. “No,” I said firmly, rushing toward her. “I can’t let you do this.” Bernice’s eyes narrowed as I placed my hands on her shoulders. “Listen to me,” I began. “I understand why you’re here. But Hunter asked me to go to his room and it’s almost time. If I don’t show up, things could go horribly wrong. I don’t want anyone I care about to get hurt. Please, don’t stop me.” Her reaction was immediate and explosive. She shoved my hands off her shoulders, her face twiste

ANYA The air in the bathroom felt heavy as Hunter stepped closer to me. His hands moved with deliberate slowness, slipping off my clothes piece by piece. My heart pounded louder with every layer he removed until I was left in just my bra and panties. When his fingers reached for the clasp of my bra, I instinctively brought both hands up, gripping his wrists tightly. “No,” I whispered, my voice shaky but firm. Hunter’s lips curled into a sly smile, his eyes locking onto mine. “It’s a bath, cherie,” his tone was teasing but commanding. I swallowed hard, my grip tightening for a moment before I reluctantly let go. He held my gaze for a beat longer, then lowered his hands, respecting my hesitation.....for now. Without a word, he began to undress himself. My breath hitched as each piece of clothing fell to the floor, leaving him completely bare before me. My eyes caught sight of his hardened cock, and I instantly spun around, turning my back to him. He chuckled, the sound low a

ANYA I don’t know why hearing him say "please" felt like he had cast a spell on me, and the walls I’d tried so hard to keep up began to crumble. My mind screamed at me to stop, but my body moved on its own. My trembling fingers wrapped around his cock, warm and hard, and I began to stroke him slowly. Hunter groaned, a deep, guttural sound that sent shivers down my spine. He leaned forward, his lips crashing onto mine with a hunger that made my head spin. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me closer as our kiss deepened, messy and desperate. I felt his body tense under my touch as I continued stroking him, his breaths ragged against my lips. Every moan he let out was like fuel to my fire, igniting something wild and uncontrollable inside me. Suddenly, Hunter pulled back, his eyes dark with desire, his chest heaving. “This won’t do,” he muttered, his voice husky and strained. Before I could ask what he meant, he swept me off the ground like I weighed nothing. A startled gasp
Last Updated : 2025-01-17Will You Marry Me? 030: I Enjoyed It
ANYA When Hunter asked me if I wanted to stay the night, it felt like the world had come crashing down around me. My breath caught as the gravity of what had just happened between us hit me like a wave. What had I done? I wanted to say no. I wanted to run out of his room, away from his intense gaze and the overwhelming feelings he stirred in me. But then, a sharp thought reminded me why I had to stay no matter what. I had to plant the cameras. I wasn't sure if I would get the chance to get back into his room. So I forced myself to nod, my voice barely steady. “Yes… yes, I would.” Hunter’s smile was soft but knowing, and I felt a strange mixture of relief and unease. I told myself to focus. First, I had to get Bernice back into the house. She was my priority. Hunter turned to his closet and pulled out a set of pajamas for himself. I rolled my eyes when I realized they matched mine....pink and white, with the same delicate floral pattern. The coincidence felt too intimate, but

BERNICE I woke up to the faint light streaming through the curtains. For a moment, I lay there, my head pounding and my body heavy, trying to shake off the haze that clouded my mind. As I sat up, the memories of the past week came rushing back, and I winced. As I vividly recalled that slap. My father’s voice thundered in my head as clearly as if it had just happened. “How could you be so incompetent?” he had roared, his hand striking my cheek so hard I’d stumbled back. I hadn’t even had time to respond before my brother, Cross, stepped forward, trying to defend me. “Come on, Dad...” But he hadn’t even finished his sentence before he got slapped too. “Shut the hell up!” our father barked, his glare cutting through both of us. He turned back to me, his face red with anger. “You had one job. Just one! Make Hunter Steele yours, and you couldn’t even do that. How could you let some random girl push her way to him? I am so disappointed in you.” My cheeks burned, not just fro

HUNTER Last night, as I lay in bed beside Anya, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She looked so peaceful, her chest rising and falling steadily, her face soft and serene in the glow of the dim light. She had no idea how much she had changed me, how far I had gone for her. As I watched her sleep, my mind drifted back to the day that had set all of this in motion. I remembered the bar, the music, and then Anya....standing before me asking me to marry her. At the time, I thought she was insane. Who proposes to a man they barely know? But her courage and Beauty had intrigued me, so I agreed. What I didn’t expect was the whirlwind that followed. I recalled the day I went to her house shortly before we got married. I overheard her talking to her parents about a guy named Cross, saying she loved him and couldn’t live without him. Hearing those words felt like a knife to my chest. It wasn’t jealousy—I barely knew her then—but it was the principle. She had proposed to me, yet her hear
Last Updated : 2025-01-17Will You Marry Me? 033: Where Am I?
ANYA “Where the hell am I?” I muttered, my voice shaky as I sat up on the bed. My eyes darted around the unfamiliar room, taking in the white-colored walls, the plush white bedding, and the luxurious decor that looked nothing like Hunter’s usual style. I swung my legs off the bed, my heart pounding as I tried to make sense of everything. Was I still in Hunter’s house? The room felt so different, almost too perfect. Before I could spiral any further, my phone buzzed, the sound pulling my attention to the bedside table. I sighed in relief when I spotted it. I must have been shifted to a new room by Hunter. Picking up the phone, I noticed it was my brother calling. For a brief moment, the familiarity of his name on the screen grounded me. I answered quickly. “Hey.” “Anya!” His voice was warm but carried a hint of concern. “Just wanted to check on you. You okay?” “Yeah,” I replied, though my voice lacked conviction. “I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be?” He hesitated before respon

Will You Marry Me? 114: The Beginning Of Submission
Tara stood outside the bathroom, arms crossed, her eyes narrowing when she saw Ruby step out. “You really took your time,” she said, smirking. Ruby remained silent. Tara’s gaze flickered over her face, taking in the difference. Without the heavy makeup she had been forced to wear earlier, Ruby looked different. “You’ll need makeup again,” Tara mused, tilting her head. “But first, dry your hair.” She handed Ruby a hairdryer, plugged it into the socket, and gestured for her to use it. Ruby hesitated, gripping the device in her hands. Her mind raced. 'What if I struck her with this?' Would she have enough time to escape? She was still wrapped in a towel, vulnerable, but if she acted fast enough... “Don’t even think about it.” Before she could even make a move, Tara’s voice cut through her thoughts. Ruby froze. Tara’s fingers tapped against the gun strapped to her waist. “You could die right here if you try something foolish,” she warned. Ruby clenched her jaw
Will You Marry Me? 113: No Way Out
Ruby’s body ached in ways she had never known before. Her back throbbed, the pain radiating through every limb as she slowly opened her eyes. For a moment, she was disoriented. 'Where am I?' Then, it all came back. The cold, damp floor beneath her. The cage. The searing sting of Tara’s whip slicing through her skin. And Hector. That monster. She shuddered as she recalled the last thing he had said to her after she spit in his face. "You’re going to become my dog." A chill ran down her spine. Her fingers dug into the metal bars of the cage, her breaths coming out shaky. She wanted to believe it was just a threat—just cruel words meant to break her. But looking around the dimly lit room, she wasn’t so sure. The agonizing screams of another person reached her ears, pulling her attention. Don Gray. She turned slowly and saw him still tied, his body trembling violently. His wrists were raw and bloody, his feet. He was still naked. His head was slumped forward,
Will You Marry Me? 112: A Desperate Search
Camilla wiped her tears and forced herself to stand. Her legs were weak, her heart heavy with grief, but she had no time to break down. Ruby had no one except her. If her father was gone, then Camilla was all she had left. And no matter what it took, she would find her. With renewed determination, she marched out of the hospital, her mind racing with possibilities. She needed a lead....anything...to track Ruby’s whereabouts. Camilla’s first stop was a local technician. “I need you to trace a phone for me,” she told him urgently. The man adjusted his glasses and sat behind his desk, cracking his knuckles. “Alright, do you have the number?” She gave it to him immediately, tapping her fingers impatiently against the counter as he worked. Seconds stretched into minutes. Then, the technician frowned. “That’s strange.” Camilla’s stomach clenched. “What is it?” “There’s no signal. It’s like the phone doesn’t exist anymore.” Camilla’s heart pounded. “How is that possib
Will You Marry Me? 111: A Breath Between Death And Deception
Camilla’s hands trembled as she clutched her arms tightly. The cold sterility of the hospital room did nothing to ease the growing panic inside her. She watched helplessly as the doctor and nurses worked frantically, their voices a blur as they fought to revive Ruby’s father. The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor had long since become erratic, each sound a reminder of how close he was to slipping away. The defibrillator pads pressed against his chest, sending jolts of electricity coursing through his body, causing him to convulse slightly before falling still again. She held her breath. 'Please, please…' Another jolt. Her heartbeat pounded in her ears, drowning out everything else. And then.....silence. The monitor’s flatline was deafening. Camilla felt her legs weaken. 'No… no, this can't be happening.' The doctor straightened, lowering his hands. His face was unreadable as he turned to Eduardo. "I'm sorry, but he is dead." The words shattered her. Camilla g
Will You Marry Me? 110: Stay With Me
“What the hell is going on here?” Ruby's stepmother suddenly walked in and demanded, glancing between Camila, Ruby’s father, and Eduardo. “I was at the church early, making sure everything was in place, but Ruby never showed up. Now I had to come back home, and I walk into… this?” Camila exhaled sharply, shaking her head. "I don’t have time to explain right now. I need to get to the casino." Before she could rush out, Ruby’s father spoke quickly, his voice laced with urgency. "Ruby is in danger. Someone tricked her into withdrawing all the money from the company’s account and going to the casino to save Eduardo. But now, we’ve been informed that there’s been a massacre there." Ruby’s stepmother gasped, covering her mouth. "A massacre?" "I need to go there," he continued, his hands shaking. "I need to find my daughter." Camila placed a firm hand on his arm. "You shouldn’t. It’s dangerous. Let me go, and I’ll keep you updated." "No," Ruby’s father snapped. "My daughter’s lif
Will You Marry Me? 109: I'll Find Her
Selena gripped the steering wheel tightly as she glanced at Eduardo. The car was filled with tension but they both knew what had to be done. "Are you sure about this?" Selena asked, her voice tight with worry. Eduardo exhaled, running a hand through his hair. "I have to be. If I don’t make a scene, we won’t go unscathed." Selena nodded, keeping her eyes on the road as she pulled up near her father’s house. Eduardo took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and stepped out. "Good luck," Selena murmured as he shut the door. Eduardo squared his shoulders, preparing for the performance of his life. Inside the house, Camila’s nerves were unraveling. She paced the floor, her phone clutched tightly in her hand as she redialed Ruby’s number for the hundredth time. "Come on, pick up," she whispered under her breath, but there was nothing. Just the same monotonous ring before it went to voicemail. Ruby’s father watched her closely, his eyes filled with growing suspicion. "Camila,
Will You Marry Me? 108: The Price Of Defiance
Hearing Ruby’s voice again, Hector’s expression darkened. He turned sharply toward Tara, his voice clipped. “Get the whip.” The air in the room became filled with tension. Ruby’s pulse spiked as she instinctively stepped back. “Listen,” she said quickly, desperation creeping into her voice. “I am... I’m not the one you’re thinking of. My name is Ruby and this old man......” Hector’s gaze was cold and unwavering. “For every word you spew out of your mouth,” he warned, “you will receive a stroke of the whip.” As the words left his lips, Tara went close with a long black whip coiled tightly in her hands. Ruby’s breath hitched at the sight of it. No. No, no, no… “Please,” she whispered. Then louder, “Just listen to what I have to say! I promise, after that, I won’t speak again!” Hector didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he studied her, his silence stretching into something unbearable. Then... “This is your last chance,” he said flatly. He turned his back to h
Will You Marry Me? 107: The Game Of Power
Cold water splashed onto Ruby’s face. She gasped, her eyes snapping open. The sharp sting of reality hit her before she even had a chance to process what was happening. Her body jerked instinctively, trying to push herself up. CRACK! A sharp pain shot through her skull as she struck her head against something solid. She cried out, clutching her forehead as her vision swam. As she blinked away the dizziness, her surroundings came into focus. Iron bars. A cage. Panic seized her chest as she scrambled back, her heart pounding. Her wide eyes lifted to see a woman standing in front of her, arms crossed, watching her with an unreadable expression. The woman had fiery red hair, a dangerous glint in her eyes, and guns strapped to both sides of her waist. Ruby swallowed hard. At the far end of the room sat a man, his legs crossed in a relaxed posture. His face showed nothing but amusement, yet there was something about him.... something detached and dangerous. Her g
Will You Marry Me? 106: Chamber Of Retribution
Hector began to approach Ruby, slowly, until he was barely a foot away from her. His eyes raked over her naked form, and he bit his lip as the sight of her gave him an erection. He cursed under his breath and wanted to pick up her dress on the floor, to cover her up. However, she threw herself into his arms, burying her face in his chest as her hands went around his neck. He cursed under his breath as desire surged through him. It had been years since he had gotten laid. Lifting her face, Ruby stood on her tippy toes and kissed him, her lips warm, soft and yet demanding. His hand went around her neck and he kissed her back before pulling away He gripped her hair tightly, forcing her head back as he turned her toward Don Gray. Ruby moaned, her desire for a man and the pain in her scalp both affecting her at the same time. She could hear Hector's voice and understood his words as well, but she could not help herself. “What would you do if I fucked your bitch right before
