Warm My Bed, Little Pumpkin!
Warning: 18+ Dark Romance
"Dont let me use the spare key Orlanda, or you are gonna be doomed," he uttered coldly and now, she could sense he was more than pissed.
The air felt thick, charged with the tension between them, as if the walls themselves were holding their breath. She braced herself, knowing fully well that this small act of defiance would not go unpunished.
But for now, she had locked him out, and for the first time since being his prisoner, she felt the slightest taste of freedom.
"Do your worst! I'm not scared of you," she yelled.
~~~~~
Orlanda never asked for Carlson Jacobi’s help, but when the ruthless gangster saved her months ago, he demanded repayment; betray his stepbrother, or warm his bed.
She swore she would never surrender herself to such a man, and so she chose betrayal. But when her plan failed, Oswald Dino Escobar, the billionaire she worked for, and Carlson’s greatest enemy, made her pay the ultimate price. He bought her from her family, not as a servant, but as his property. His possession. His punishment. His little pumpkin!
Oswald was a man who had once loved and lost Sophia Lawn, the woman who shattered him, the woman whose death turned him into a beast. And when Orlanda entered his world, he saw in her a vessel, a shadow of what he lost.
But the deeper she was pulled into his dark empire, the more secrets surfaced. Secrets that could ruin them both… or bind them forever.

Chapter: Epilogue ……SEVEN YEARS LATER……THE sky was a sweet blue, scattered with wisps of cotton clouds, the sun not too harsh, just the perfect weather for a baby shower. The Escobar mansion had been transformed into a wonderland of white and gold décor. Soft jazz music floated in the air, the sound of laughter mingling with the gentle clinking of glasses. Round tables adorned with floral centerpieces dotted the manicured lawn, and shimmering white drapes flowed like silk in the soft wind. Every guest looked like they had stepped out of a designer magazine.At the center of it all stood the radiant couple— Oswald and Orlanda Escobar.Orlanda wore a long blush-pink off-shoulder gown, her hair flowing in soft curls around her glowing face. A delicate tiara sat on her head, her baby bump adding an extra charm to her silhouette. She laughed freely, resting one hand on her belly and the other entwined with Oswald's.Oswald, ever the striking figure, wore a custom-tailored white suit with a silk black shirt

Chapter: 307THE Escobar mansion shimmered in gold and ivory hues, the grand chandelier raining elegance over the long dining table being set with the finest cutlery and crystal glassware. Fresh flowers lined the center, and the mouthwatering aroma of roasted lamb, buttered vegetables, and delicate pastries floated through the air as uniformed chefs and servers made final adjustments.It was a rare and cherished evening, one the Escobar family hadn’t experienced in years. Not since the days when laughter once danced through these same halls.Lady Frances stood by the grand hallway, clasping her fingers in an unusual flurry of excitement. Her heart was fluttering, not because her beloved son was coming home for dinner, but because she was coming. The girl who had done what no therapy, no medicine, no luxury had ever been able to do— heal her son.“Everything looks perfect,” Frances murmured, adjusting a gold goblet slightly out of place. Then the front doors creaked open and her husband, Lord Dino

Chapter: 306THE office floor was alive with chatter that morning, but it wasn’t the usual talk about deadlines or client meetings. It was about Orlanda.She was everywhere, or rather, her story was. The photos from the villa unveiling had already made the rounds online, and the headlines were impossible to miss. Her name was on everyone’s lips.The women gathered in little clusters, their conversations laced with mixed emotions.“Honestly, I’m happy for her,” one young woman said, her voice sincere. “She has been through a lot. She deserves this happiness.”Another scoffed, crossing her arms. “Happy? Please. Some people just have all the luck. I have been here five years and—” she stopped herself but the bitterness in her tone lingered.Near the coffee station, an elderly woman spoke up, her voice firm but tinged with nostalgia. “She deserves all she gets now,” she said. “I knew her mother — Helena Lawn. Not too close, but close enough to know she was a good woman. What happened to her was trag

Chapter: 305OSWALD sat at the long mahogany dining table in his parents’ grand home, the warm glow from the chandelier casting golden highlights over polished silverware. Lady Frances was at the head of the table, her eyes sparkling with a rare kind of joy as she poured tea into his cup.“It has been too long since you visited like this,” she said, almost chiding, but her voice was soft with affection. She reached across to pat his hand. “I missed you, my son.”“I have been… busy,” Oswald replied with a small smile, his deep voice calm and measured, but the warmth in his eyes gave him away.Lord Dino, sitting opposite, leaned back in his chair and studied his son. “I see, busy with Orlanda.” His wife chuckled and Oswald scoffed.“Well you and Orlanda now, son. Is that your choice?”Oswald’s gaze didn’t waver. “Yes, Father. She is my choice. My only choice.”Lord Dino gave a slow nod, his stern features relaxing into approval. “So, no longer Queen?”Oswald’s jaw tightened slightly at the name,

Chapter: 304THE car rolled smoothly along winding country roads, trees arching overhead like a green cathedral. They had been driving for quite a while now, and Orlanda’s curiosity was nearly eating her alive. Every so often she would glance at Oswald, trying to read his expression, but he only offered that maddening half-smile that said he was enjoying keeping her in suspense.Finally, the road curved into a quiet bend, revealing a set of ornate wrought-iron gates. They were flanked by towering stone pillars, each crowned with lanterns that gleamed in the morning light. As the gates swung open, the car glided forward onto a cobblestone driveway that seemed to stretch forever.And then she saw it.A grand villa stood proudly at the end of the drive, all cream stone and sweeping terraces, its massive windows reflecting the sunlight like liquid gold. Beautiful gardens bloomed on either side, a fountain dancing in the center of a circular courtyard. It wasn’t just a house. It was a palace.Orlanda’s

Chapter: 9HOLY moly! Her mouth fell into an ‘o’ as she stared at the man before her, in utter dumbstruck."Ugh, you…" he opened his mouth to talk and her face recoiled, a stench smell emanated, Jasira got the info, he was drunk. "Please if you know Amelia, just tell her I don't love her okay? Tell her I can't force love", he said and began walking away."I don't have love to give her", he added, staggering as he went.Huh? She turned to watch him leave, what the hell is he talking about? And who is he? Who is Amelia?"Damn! He is so clean cute", she muttered under her breath still watching him staggered as he went.Then as if she realized herself, she took up her right hand and hit her palm on her forehead."Stupid you, stop thinking about a man," she said and laughed, then went into the bistro.As soon as she got in, a man walked up to her."Jasira, I will show you the way," he said.Jasira turned to him and scrutinised him under her perky eyes."Who you?" She asked."I'm from Mr. Damon, the

Chapter: 8MRS. Petersons still held Amelia in a hug, pacifying her as her whimpering dwindled, becoming less tense, her breathing less rapid."Okay now, I think I will leave you to be alone", Mrs Petersons said and released her grip on her.Amelia nodded slowly."Thank you mummy", she said, her voice so low."Come on, give me a smile, I need to see smiles in this beautiful face of yours honey", she said and Amelia forced a smile.Mrs Petersons chuckled."Good, so cry no more okay?"Amelia nodded."Have you had dinner?""Yes mom", she replied."Oh okay, won't you take something light then?"She shook her head in negation."Oh no mummy, just had some fruits. I'm okay. I will just lie down", she said and adjusted on the bed."Alright, lie down and wait for him. I believe by the time I must have talked some sense into him, he won't gonna hurt you anymore", she assured her.Amelia smiled, this time, a wry smile. She only hopes he won't anymore."Okay mom, thank you", and she laid down on the bed.Mr

Chapter: 7HIS mouth fell wide open, as he stared at her, making her feel uncomfortable. She pulled up a curious face."What? Why are you staring at me that way sweetheart?" She asked, stretching out her hands."What is all that?" He asked, waving his left hand at her.She looked down at herself, and then turned back to him."What is all what? What do you mean?" She asked looking befuddled."The make over, isn't that too heavy?" He asked."Oh, no sweetie. It is not, I'm actually looking beautiful for you, don't you like it?" She smiled sheepishly.He snorted and looked away, turning to his glass of wine."You should actually stop all these madness and save your stress, Amelia", he said carelessly and sipped some wine.Huh? Her mouth fell wide open, what does he mean by that? Her face changed."You never say nice things to me Jeremy, you hardly even talk to me and when you do, nothing nice comes out of your mouth", she said and tossed the apple in her hand into the tray carelessly.He watched her

Chapter: 6THE room was quite cool that fateful evening as soft music played on from the stereo. Jasira stood in front of the mirror, using her hair pins to hold her hair. She knows when best to let it flow, and when best to hold it together.Then, she applied a little face foundation, lip gloss and mascara on her face, lips and eyebrows respectively. That was the lot of her make-up, she hardly applies more than that.Having done with that, she picked up her jacket from the bed and put it on, watching herself in the mirror as she did. She was always on jackets, black to be precised.She turned her eyes to the dressing table and picked up something which looked like a chip, and clipped it on her singlet, before covering up properly with the jacket.Then she flopped down on the bed and reached for her boots. She was tying up the lace when a knock came on her door."Come in", she said, but the knock persisted.Huh? Her brows furrowed, is the intruder that deaf?"Come in", she shouted this time, her

Chapter: Meeting With Lord Lucas A very hot and deafening slap from her interrupted him, what! He held his hurting cheek and looked at her, she was so peeved, breathing heavily."You dare not ridicule me, Venice. I am Jasira, not one of your night stand girls alright? Get that into your rotten skull. Nonsense!" She blurted and walked out.Venice was so shocked, no lady has ever dared to raise hands on him, none whatsoever.Crap! He watched her angrily walk away, his eyes filled with fury. Then he turned and walked into the living room.As she went, cussing under her breath, two boys immediately ran up to her."Hey boss…" one of them spoke."Get the Jeep ready", she interrupted, still walking."Of course boss J, it is ready," he replied her."Greg, get me my ammunition", she said and the second boy ran off.Jasira and the first boy who had spoken, continued walking along the hallway till they got outside the building.They walked towards the car and he opened the door, and she lowered herself in.Then he closed the do

Chapter: Lord LucasJASIRA walked out of the room and took the hallway, heading for her own room. At least, she needed to rest, it had been from work to work. Her body was already aching and yearning for rest, she needed it.She had already gotten to her room, about typing in her password to open the door when a maid rushed up to her, panting.Astonished, she turned to her."What is it?" She asked."Sorry ma'am, I have been looking for you", she said.Her eyes twitched."What for?" She asked."Lord Lucario wants to see you", she said.Huh? Lord Lucario? She was taken aback. She just left him few minutes ago, what again?"I just left his study", she said to the maid.She nodded."He said so, but insisted you see him, now, this minute", she said.Jasira shrugged her shoulders."Alright fine," she said and left her door, then began the walk back to his study.She wondered what he wanted to see her for again as she had just left there.She got to the large living room and entered, about to go into his study

Chapter: 108RINA smiled as she applied a light make-over on her face, seated and facing the mirror. She had just got off the phone with her Prince, her Raghav.She was getting prepared for school that morning. It happened that just a few days after they returned back from Kuru, he registered her in the graphics designing school, nearest to her.She was the one who had brought about the idea of the school, and he had instantly swung into action, making researches about the school."I told you the school is okay, don't bother all these researches you are doing," she had said to him."No, I need to be sure the school my princess is about to be registered in, is all good and nice. Academically sound, morally sound, security tight," he had replied.Well, Rina laughed and let him do his thing. Finally, the school met his standards and so, he had gone there, did all necessary stuffs, paid all fees and had her registered.Normally, he comes to pick her up every day and on the days he couldn't, he sends s

Chapter: 107BELLA turned and recoiled on her seat at the bar section of the living room as she took up the third bottle and began gulping down some alcohol.Since the news about Raghav began spreading, she hadn't been herself, she had been drinking, drinking, and drinking. She felt so heartbroken.A maid walked pass at that juncture."Hey, have you seen my Raghav?" Bella asked the maid.Huh? The maid abruptly stopped in her tracks, what was she talking about? She hadn't yet realized the lady was tipsy."Ma'am?" She replied.Bella broadly smiled, opening her thirty two, but this only startled the maid the more."Didn't you get to see him? Please tell him to stop breaking my heart for me," then she put the bottle in her mouth, and gulped down more alcohol.Jeez! That was when the maid understood the scenario, her eyes widened in shock and then at once, she ran, upstairs into Lawson's room.Seconds later, Lawson rushed out, into the bar section and found Bella smiling sheepishly as she was still dri

Chapter: 106THE car screeched to a halt in front of a small building and Raghav alighted, then half ran, half walked into the house.The door at the other side of the car opened and Prisha rushed out too, running as well.Guards patrolled and walked about the small compound that housed the building, all at alert.They got to the door and the guard in front bowed and opened it, and they entered.More guards were seated on the couches in the first room they entered which looked like a living room, some smoking and some drinking.They all stood up at the instant Raghav entered, then took a bow, putting their arms behind them.Raghav halted and looked at their faces, looking from one to another and nodding his head slowly."Where are they?" He suddenly asked in a cold voice, asking no one in particular."In the torture room, my Prince," one of them replied.Then he smirked and took the door opposite him, Prisha followed.They got into a small dark hallway, with a lot of doors at the right and left le

Chapter: 105THE two siblings sat still, filled with astonishment and anxiety, Prisha was almost gasping for breath."You said what?" Raghav asked, sitting up."That Davida has been captured, my Prince," the boss repeated.Raghav glanced at Prisha who swallowed hard, her eyes twitching."Where are you guys now?" He asked packing up his phones from the table."In ‘the house’, Maharana," he replied.Raghav got up, then spared Prisha a glance."Stay still, I will be there in a jiffy," he said and began walking away."Can I come with you, Maharana?" She asked.He didn't reply nor say anything, he kept mute and continued walking out, towards the parking lot."Phew, coming," she said and ran after him.Goodness! They couldn't believe it! Davida has been caught, like how? Where? Kudos to the guards, they must have really done a lot to achieve this.***Rina sat in front of the dressing mirror in her room idolizing herself, as she brushed her hair that morning, thinking of last night, she smiled so bro

What was all this?Raghav managed to walk to the other side of the car and opened it, Rina slowly alighted, watching the crowd that had surrounded them. She was astonished.👥: Hey I said it! It is Prince Raghav of Shimla kingdom.Someone from the crowd squeaked and Rina scoffed, huh? Was this how Raghav was famous?"I'm sorry about this," he whispered to her, "it is a normal occurrence when I don't take the guards with me," he said.Ugh?
