Chapter 11

ALVIRA’S POVHe was too good to be true, I thought as I walked up to my shared apartment. He was the definition of everything I vowed to stay away from but then, there was this gentleness he possessed that made me want to both run as far away from him as possible but still want to run back to him and just be with him for the rest of my life. He provided me with so much safety and comfort that I could no longer see myself being that way with anyone else. It was like he was my knight in shining armor. No, he was more mysterious than a knight in shining armor. He was my dark knight. He was so dangerous and influential and dominant and he made me weak in the knees but then, he was so gentle with me, even when he used harsh words with me, it was like he was trying to toughen me up and a part of me liked it. It revealed in the feeling of being submissive to him. It was like I could just look at him and feel all my worries fade away. My mind went back to the day we first met at the stri

Billionaire's Dark Desire/Mary Gilliam

ALVIRA’S POVIt was well past midnight and Clarissa had fallen asleep halfway into the movie which was about two hours ago. I didn’t have the mind to wake her up when she looked so peaceful in her sleep. Her illness always left her weak and even the littlest activity left her breathless and so, she had to rest very often. I had no issue with this. If anything, I wouldn’t mind if she didn’t do anything and just rested. All I ever wanted was for her to get better.I had tried to sleep for hours and hours to no avail and I had ended up tossing and turning on my bed, my mind in a turmoil as it tried to win the fight it apparently had with my heart. I couldn’t help the fear in my heart of falling completely in love with Carter. Yes, I was already on the edge and I knew that he was going to be one of the main people in my life but for some reason, I still felt like I was still holding back from completely falling off the edge and completely letting myself go hoping he would catch me and n

ALVIRA’S POV“Yes, sweets?”“Um, I wanted to ask you something…..” I muttered, fiddling with the hem of my top as I looked down at the floor. He was not here but I could still feel the intensity of his stares and felt intimidated by it. It was like he could see right through me. Like he could see deep inside of me, into my heart and see my feelings and thoughts and secrets. “Sweets, you are going to have to be louder than that if you need me to actually hear what it is that you are saying. I can barely hear you. What did I say about speaking to myself?” He asked, his tone stern as though he was scolding a four year old child. “I- I -I’m sorry.” I murmured. I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I did not like being scolded. I know I should be stronger than this but sometimes, it’s just so hard to be strong. Besides, it’s Carter. I don’t know how to be strong around him. I always felt like a child around him. Safe. “What was that?” He asked, his tone still stern like a parent talking

Billionaire's Dark Desire/Mary Gilliam

ALVIRA’S povI stared blankly into space as I struggled to focus on the online class that I was currently participating in to no avail. My attempt was greatly futile. I sighed inaudibly as my mind kept drifting back to the last time that Carter and I hung out.I had been unable to sleep the entire night and he had come over to see me at my place. I had not even been expecting to see him.Apparently, he had had other plans other than just coming over for us to talk, plans that I knew but did not want to speak about.I remembered standing in front of my mirror, staring at myself while adjusting my hair for what felt like the hundredth time. I had spent the entire day thinking about my life and the one I was going to have with Carter, a man that I had met on my first night working as a waitress in a nightclub.He was no doubt charming and sweet. He always had a smile that made my stomach flutter with butterflies. But I knew that he was no ordinary man. He would also have a dark side to h

Billionaire's Dark Desire/Mary Gilliam

CARTER'S POV I was treading on very thin ice and I knew it. I knew that it was just a matter of time before it would all blow up on my rather handsome face. I know that all these shenanigans with Alvira were just a ploy only to gain my father’s trust, his approval and to quickly get back my inheritance. And I was so hell-bent on making sure that it would be what eventually happens. There were not supposed to be any real feelings or strings attached between the both of us, if only she knew. She was just a mere pawn in the game. She was quite unfortunate enough to be caught in the crossfire between my dad and I, and that was all that it entailed. There was really nothing more and nothing less.So why? Why did all of this thought leave a bitter taste in my mouth? Why do I continually feel like I have been stung by a million bees? And why does my heart feel heavier, weighing me down the longer I thought of just how broken she was going to be when the time would come for me to finally

Chapter 16

Billionaire's Dark Desire/Mary Gilliam

CARTER'S POV I am still not sure how I got here. I was deeply stuck in conflict. I did not plan on this. Hell! I didn't even know it was happening until it was already too late. But now, here I was, completely stuck in a web of feelings that I could not untangle. Everything, it was all because of her. I needed to do something about her and I needed to do whatever it was swiftly. My father was going to be so pleased if he found out that I could not complete this one small task. I could already see him smirking at me with that evil glint in his mischievous eyes. He would be so gay with glee that he was correct about me being useless, me picking the wrong girl and me developing feelings for her on the mission.However, the thing was that I could not even decide whether I wanted to keep my distance from her or get closer to her. A part of me wanted to run in the opposite direction the second that she would walk into the room. But then she would say something to me or look at me in the

Chapter 17

Billionaire's Dark Desire/Mary Gilliam

ALVIRA’S pov It has been about a week since I had spoken to Carter. Somehow, we had both been busy to have any spare time for ourselves due to our busy schedules. He had a lot of work that he needed to tend to according to him and I, on the other hand, was stuck to my neck with loads and loads of homework and essays. The exams were fast approaching and I needed to get back on track and finish up my work before the deadlines were up if I was to make it in time for my exams. However, between my increasing school hours and his ever growing tight schedule, we had found a way to keep in touch. Carter would always wake me up with a morning text and I would respond whenever I got up from bed. During the day, we would randomly text each other, going back and forth between our schedules. It was not much but it was enough to keep him going. At night we would have short conversations where we spoke to each other about our day and I would find myself falling asleep. Carter had been very sup

Chapter 18

Billionaire's Dark Desire/Mary Gilliam

ALVIRA’S POVOnce again, Clarissa falls asleep mid way into the movie. I let out a soft chuckle as I tidied up, listening to get soft snores. I quickly but quietly packed up the bowls of popcorn and arranged the sitting room while making sure I didn’t wake her up. She was a light sleeper and the slightest noise would wake her up. I busied myself with washing the dishes and cleaning up the mess we had left earlier on. Yep, Clarissa and I had a funny habit of leaving our kitchen mess up after we finished cooking or making a snack and would only go back to clean it up after we were done eating. I took out the trash and cleared out the cabinets, unconsciously cleaning up the whole kitchen and dining area. Deep down, I know it was all just a way to distract myself from the myriad of thoughts running through my head. ‘Rissa’s question kept ringing in my head and I struggled to find a suitable answer for it. To an extent, I knew I was comfortable with my relationship with Carter and the p

Billionaire's Dark Desire/Mary Gilliam

ALVIRA’S POV“No,” I said a little too forcefully. I didn't want him to think that I was not interested in that.“Good," he said with another smirk. "Now, I would like to take my girlfriend out to a nice place to eat and chill for a while. Come on.” He said, guiding me to the passenger side of the car and guiding me in. As usual, he buckled me in and closed the door before walking around to his side behind the wheel. “Um, where are we going tonight?” I asked. “We are going to one of the finest restaurants in the city and perhaps, in the whole of the country, and I know this because it’s mine.” He said, a smirk on his face as he drove with one hand on the steering and the other on my lap. A few months ago, I would normally be avoiding me and keeping to myself all through. I would even have a panic attack whenever he got so close to me, not to talk of when he would touch me. I found myself getting comfortable enough around him to allow certain touches from him like this one. It was

Billionaire's Dark Desire/Mary Gilliam

CARTER’S POVLife was good. Or at least, that is how it seemed to me. I was enjoying life with my girlfriend, and for once in a long time, I found myself looking forward to meeting her and just being around her. She was like an escape from the chaos that was my life. I found myself unconsciously looking over at the time until when I could go over to see her and just do mundane things like going for walks, playing on a swing, taking ice cream, watching the sunset and other random flimsy things that she would always come up with. I would never admit it to anyone else but I really enjoy our time together. I still can not categorically explain what it is that I feel for her but I know that I care about her more than my brain would dare to admit. She is there when I woke up, she stays with me while I go about my day, and she is there when I go back to bed. I do not know how we got to this stage but I found myself comparing every other lady I meet to her. I keep asking myself what was so
