Estela Bremmer is a young widow, and on her husband's first death anniversary, she met the handsome, wealthy writer Michael Jensen at his book launch. Estela hated him because he was the exact opposite of her deceased spouse. She didn't hide her disgust towards him at the party as she tried to humiliate him with insults and sarcasm. Her publisher friend listened in utter helplessness to her attacks. She was resentful that her pious, gentle, and loyal husband had to die at a very young age while a man like Michael should live a long life. Let alone that her husband's published poetry book sales paled compared to Michaels' best-selling books. Little did she know that Michael would take his sweet revenge that night in her bed.

Chapter 1 - The Insult

Estela Bremmer brought the glass of sparkling wine to her lips as she studied the shocked guy across the table with an enraged gaze, planning the next delicate spike she intended to launch at him. What had gotten into her tonight—that she felt the need to puncture his façade with such vigor—was beyond her comprehension. However, she had been giving in to the temptation all night, and it had grown more robust with each glass of wine she had consumed.Perhaps it was because this day was the death anniversary of her husband, and Michael Jensen was the polar opposite of Peter. She felt oppressed by resentment over fate's decision to deprive the world and herself of the gentleness and pleasantness of such a pious man. Fate allowed this one, a tainted sensualist, to live and sit opposite her, emphatically vibrating with a practically disgusting reputation.It was borderline farcical. Estela needed to get used to thinking more clearly. What did Michael Jensen bring to the table for anybody o

Chapter 2 - Getting a Cab

She smiled wickedly, winked lazily, and almost laughed at his frown, even though she couldn't say she blamed him. Tomorrow morning, she would have to reconcile with him, but right now, she just didn't have the energy. When Lars suddenly came to her elbow and asked her to dance, Estela let out a muffled sigh since she knew she wouldn't have time to calm down around him.Estela, expecting the reprimand she knew was coming, rose up to accept his offer, then felt a little worried at the knowledge that she was on the verge of intoxication. Even though she rarely drank and probably knew her limit, the fact was nonetheless mildly bothersome. She had no idea why she had become so drunk so quickly this evening, but she suspected it had something to do with being bored to tears by the endless praise for Michael.Estela paid Lars's expected reprimand for her misbehavior scarcely any attention. She felt lightheaded and disoriented, and it was everything she could do to keep up with his simple dan

Chapter 3 - Retribution

Michael grabbed her arm in a painful grasp and steered her in the direction of her flat despite her protests. I don't care what you're feeling," was his equally icy response. "I want you to sober up; this is as good a way as any."Instead of responding angrily, Estela bit her tongue and let him drag her down the street. In fact, she didn't have much of a say in the issue, as breaking his grasp would have required someone far stronger than she was. Estela failed to consider it challenging to go home without his help. Her mind was clearing slightly in the night air, but the rest of her body was still in the grasp of the booze she'd consumed, and her legs were a very wobbly support for the time.The journey was completed in eerie stillness, and by the time they arrived at Estela's building, she couldn't wait to get inside and escape Michael's presence. She attempted to free herself from his grip by pulling on her arm once again. She said coldly, "This is my building, and I can make it on

Chapter 4 - Unraveling

Michael's persistent mouth assaulted her lips, stifling a gasp that sprang from her throat. To get away from him, Estel put her hands on his shoulders, but he took this as an opening to run his palms down her sides, across her thighs, and finally to her buttocks. He hoisted her into the grinding rhythm of his hips, his fingers curving over the rounded bumps of skin.In response to Michael's assault, Estel experienced a disturbing, purely bodily sensual reaction that got entangled with the nausea and headache she was feeling. She was unable to process the whirlwind of sensations bombarding her. For long stretches, she just floated along with Michael's passionate kisses and the shaping of her body against his.When Michael finally backed off, she was vaguely startled to realize that he had been breathing harshly and that his body had tightened as he tried to excite her. It appeared that he was becoming engrossed in his own game, which only heightened the already high-risk profile of the

Chapter 5 - Rapture

When he bent down even more and put his tongue on her pink nipples, Estel tensed. The seductive sensations of his sucking gave her outrage, even as the warmth it produced in her thighs and belly made any lingering sickness go away as if it had never been there. When Michael first started caressing her, she resisted the alcohol-induced weakness in her limbs as fiercely as she battled his seduction. "Damn you, Michael," she said under her breath as she struggled to free herself. I don't want you. I can't stand you! You self-centered jerk, how can you not see that? Michael's eyes blazed with desire as he dominated her, and his clenched teeth formed a ferocious grin. To which he said, "You may not like me, Estel, I'll give you that," ground out with a cruel chuckle. "but I can prove that you want me." Michael grasped one of Estel's arms in an iron grip and threw the other beneath his body to immobilize it. Then he placed one of his legs between her thighs so that she couldn't move anyth

Chapter 6 - The Aftermath

Peter's lovemaking had been beautiful, delicate, and entirely acceptable to her in her limited experience. Still, it couldn't compare with the overwhelming force of Michael's.While lying exhausted in Michael's arms, her skin sticky with perspiration and her pulse hammering from the intensity of her exertion, Estel recognized that Michael's performance could not be described as loving. Michael had treated her like she was nothing more than a means to his own ends, and he had gotten much more pleasure out of humiliating her than from making her happy.He propped himself up on his elbows and grinned lazily down at her. Still, when he saw the cold venom in Estel's eyes, his grin twisted into sarcastic disdain."Get up!" Estel spat the words out, expressing her desire to use physical force for the first time in her life. "Get up and get out before I-" She couldn't finish her sentence, since she didn't want to talk to him anymore.Michael deliberated on it for a while. He looked at her for

Chapter 7 - Becoming a different person

Estel called in sick the following day. Not only did she have a terrible hangover, but her mental and emotional despair was on par with what she'd felt following Peter's death. Then, at least, Estel might have attributed her misfortune to a random chance. This was the first time she'd ever been so severely let down by something she'd done, and she was entirely unprepared for it. Her face was strained and pale as she looked at herself in the bathroom mirror, and she thought wryly and bitterly that thirty was much too young to accept that she was just as flawed as everyone else. Until last night, she had been the epitome of the good girl archetype in every aspect of her life. What in the name of God had happened to her suddenly? Her countenance hardened as she recalled what had happened to her in Michael's hands. She went from being a catty bitch—not her style—to questioning her long-held conviction that she was a person possessing all the finer qualities that went hand in hand with a

Chapter 8

His thick brown locks fell across his forehead as he shook his head, giving him an intriguingly helpless appearance. Before continuing, he said, "Sorry to get off the subject," apologizing to the interviewer, Mark. I have no plans to apologize for the quality of my work. It can stand on its own merits. People either appreciate it for what it is and pay for it, or they don't. Since it sells, many others believe it satisfies a need for amusement. Estel looked surprised by this. It was a statement of fact, but the simplicity of its reality rattled her. When she turned on the TV, the last thing she had anticipated was that Michael Jensen would make her feel better about herself. She hadn't bargained for an introduction to a worldview she'd never thought about before. But again, she had never been broken enough by her own failings to require pity. She had always met her own or anybody else's high standards. As her worldview shifted, she became temporarily bewildered and missed a few seco

Chapter 9

“Good morning, Henrick,” she murmured. When Henrick saw Estel, he said, “Morning, Estel.” His keen eyes took in the pallor of her face and the way she nervously twisted a pencil in her fingers. Typical of him, he asked me straight out, “Are you recovered, or have you brought your germs into the office to infect the rest of us?” Estel relaxed a little, a slight grin appearing to brighten her features. It was the other way around, she remarked wryly. “Someone else brought the germs in, and I gathered them up and took them home with me.” Henrick gave a casual shrug. “Part of the job,” he remarked in a callous tone. “At any rate, it saved you from getting your tail chewed royally yesterday. I was in the mood to eat nails.” Estel's eyebrows went up in curiosity as she waited for Henrick to mention Michael. Though she could have followed Henrick there, she was no longer capable of doing so. The sarcastic tone in Henrick's voice was clear as he warned Estel, “Don't look so innocent.” And you

Chapter 10

Henrick shook her by the shoulders and laughed, “That will be the day,” clearly not believing her. Then he became serious again and said, “Seriously, Estel, when you first came to work here, you were a little prudish, but you weren't as tight as a clam.” Even after Estel's immediate reversion to cold hostility, he said, “You didn't grow with him, Estel. I can't help but think Peter wasn't good for you.” He said this with a cautious look in his eyes, indicating that he knew he was treading on dangerous ground. He put you in an academic bubble where the outside world was rarely allowed in, and I saw you become more and more narrow-minded as he did. “A poet is supposed to expand people's horizons, not narrow them!” he interrupted the inevitable rejoinder. “Do yourself a favor and reread Peter's poetry, Estel. I think you'll understand what I mean if you still have any sense of objectivity in this situation regarding him.” Estel shot him a cold look, trying desperately not to say something
