CHAPTER 7: Ugly Scars

Drew's feelings always warmed whenever Lily depended on him. After a month, his wife started to gain a little weight, which pleased him, even though he knew she had almost given up on the rigorous training he had arranged for her.

His finger trailed the curve of Lily’s ear, caressing his wife's neck. Something motivated him to intensify their kiss.

It had already been a month, and he was reaching his limit. He gave Lily's waist a light squeeze and then carried her like that. His desire could already feel her warmth as her legs wrapped around his body. Their lips remained locked as he drew her closer.

Drew took her to the lonely long couch in the living room. She spread her legs effortlessly over his shaft to feel her pussy, which was only separated by his shorts and concealed by her thin yoga pants. As he guided Lily's hips to sway against his hardness, he nourished his own lips on the sweetness of her kiss.  

"Fuck!" Growling, his lips parted to catch a slow breath. She deliriously stared at him with her half-closed eyes. Drew shifted her hips over his top as their eyes locked. The friction they made was amazing. Lily was fucking amazing. Just thinking about how wet she was at the exact moment made his cock throb more. 

Lily inclined her head to meet his lips once again. She responded to every movement of his mouth.

When they parted, his index finger trailed down the side of her neck to the top of her chest. Their breathing was slow. There was something about Lily that piqued his interest. He desired to possess the woman. It's just that, considering her background, he was afraid. He lifted her blouse until a necklace-like shape was formed around Lily's neck.

But he was astonished to see a hideous mark on her nipple, clearly the result of a cigarette burns. It filled Drew with awe. He wouldn't have noticed if it didn't look different from Lily's other breast.

His wife had another burn below her chest and on her ribs as if they were lined up. Noticing his reaction, Lily covered herself with her arms as she felt a little ashamed, while Drew had mixed feelings as he watched his wife's nakedness. The women he fucked had attractive bodies. Their skin was smooth and delicate. As a client, he paid for their beauty, and they must be stunning to fuck. 

But Lily’s body… tells a story. It’s not boring!   

"I-it's ugly, I know!" said Lily, looking away. 

"No... Let me see..." Drew mumbled as he moved his wife's arm away from her body. That nipple was begging to be sucked, and so he shoved into his mouth. A moan escaped Lily's mouth, then gripped his hair. 

Devouring her chest, he could hear her groaning and gasping for air.    

“Tell me what’s the story behind this,” he whispered, nibbling at the unsightly scar on her nipple.  

Her lips quivered as she recalled the incident. "It was Victor who did that. He likes fire, and because Kenneth enjoys hearing me weep, he allowed Victor to hurt me. After Victor burned me, Kenneth shoved his mouth into my chest as if it would relieve the burning pain. Blood and sweat bathed me from the cigarette burn wound." 

Tears flowed down her cheeks.  

Sobbing, she continued, “I cried, screamed, begged... Kenneth prefers that. That's why I stopped shouting and moving like a lifeless body. All of them were laughing, and they thought I was having fun!” 

Drew’s jaw hardened upon hearing this. Those motherfuckers!    

He thought sabotaging Victor's restaurant was insufficient in comparison to Lily's suffering. He rolled her nipple over his thumb, and like a baby, he sucked her chest once more. 

Even though he knew it would be impossible, he said, "Shhh... I will kiss them until you forget."  

***   

Lily's body quivered, her memories of the past flooding her senses. Drew softly kissed her nipple, akin to savoring a forbidden fruit.

She experienced a tumultuous blend of sensations emanating from her chest, pleasure coursing down to her very toes. It elicited a unique, tantalizing sensation in her femininity, causing her to moan as his tongue expertly caressed her sensitized, tingling nipple.

With a rhythmic motion, she rocked her hips against him, acutely aware of the warmth radiating from his body. Drew's kiss left her feeling bewildered, a stark contrast to Kenneth's affection. Her husband's kisses were sweet and comforting, like he was guiding her toward paradise.

Drew persuaded her to kneel on the sofa where he could reach her torso. His kiss went down her ribcage, where the other dried wound from Victor's cigarette burns was placed. Lily moaned slowly while maintaining a strong grip on the sofa's backrest. Drew swiftly took off both her top and bra. 

"You don't have to be ashamed, Lily. It's ugly because of the story behind it," Drew mumbled before he put his lips on hers. "I'll cover that ugliness with my sweet kisses..." 

Drew whispered softly, his heated lips drawing near her nipple, "I'll kiss you right here." Her breath hitched, and she trembled with anticipation.

As his tongue sensually danced over her tender skin, his fingers began to trace the path below her chest, where the next mark awaited. "And here," he murmured, his gaze warmly fixed on Lily's eyes, "I'll ensure every mark is covered by my kisses."

Drew's lips descended to his next destination, all the while delivering waves of pleasure to Lily. With each tantalizing touch, the nightmares of that fateful night seemed to fade further away. "Were there any more?" 

Lily nodded, her eyes brimming with tears. Oh, how her husband's kisses had the power to transport her into a world of ecstasy.

"There is more..." she murmured. 

“Can you show me?”   

Lily clenched her fist, knowing that, as husband and wife who shared a home, Drew would one day discover her secrets. There would come a time when he needed to be aware of all of them.

"Yes," Lily affirmed, moving away from Drew's embrace. She blushed as she stood before him and noticed how hard and erect his cock was, concealed beneath his shorts, eagerly waiting for her. As she turned around to reveal her truth, she continued to swallow nervously. She parted her long hair to unveil the ugly mark Kenneth had inflicted upon her.

When her husband did not respond, anxiety crept in. Lily observed Drew's peculiar reaction as she turned to face him once more. Was he terrified, furious, or perhaps both?

***   

Drew clenched his fist. 

"I'll kill him..." he said weakly. 

Along with various types of wounded scars, Lily's back bore the words "You R MINE." He wasn't required to believe that they came from Kenneth. The man did it, he was certain, because he's a monster! The deep wounds made by the knife revealed that its letters were engraved on Lily's flesh. Her back was nearly covered with the word "mine," indicating that Kenneth was her owner. 

What the fvck did she go through?!    

He now understood why Lily feared him. With those around her, the woman did not have a pleasant life. It's overwhelming! This is far too much for him! 

Standing up, Drew slung a robe over her back. Then from that position, he gave Lily a hug. 

He thought the story between the siblings was simple, but he was shivering, saying, "I swear to my fucking God, I'll kill that bastard, Kenneth!" 

Lily must have struggled to reveal that mark to him, but in his perspective right now, she is the strongest. 

"It's late, and I still have to go to the office," he said, knowing he could not get Lily's back out of his mind. 

***   

The Walton Group...

As they were going to discuss legal matters, Drew requested that Lily's father come to the meeting along with his lawyer.

Two attorneys, accompanied by Mr. Martin, entered Drew's office while he was engrossed in work.

"Is there an issue, son?" inquired Lily's father.

Drew thought to himself, "Son, my foot!"

He gestured to his lawyer to explain to Mr. Martin his intentions while his fingers continued to fly over the keyboard. In addition to dealing with the man's presence, Drew was also addressing Victor's issues.

If Mr. Martin continued to be close to Lily, especially as her father-in-law, Drew would not feel at ease. As Lily's father, there was a good chance that he might eventually consider Drew as a potential son-in-law. Additionally, he couldn't stand the fact that Mr. Martin used Lily as leverage in his marriage.

"Mr. Martin, this is the contract we prepared for you. You'll receive three hundred million as Lily's father, in addition to properties in various parts of the country," the lawyer explained.

The man's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Wow! Thank you so much, Drew. You and my daughter appear to get along nicely. Be at ease! I'll be here for you and Lily whenever you need me."

"I'm not done yet, Mr. Martin," the lawyer said provocatively. "In exchange for those gifts that Mr. Walton prepared, we need you to sign this paper."

The document was placed on the table by Drew's attorney so that Mr. Martin could read the legible text clearly.

Termination of Parental Rights.   

Mr. Martin reacted immediately after reading it.

"What is the meaning of this, Drew?!" Mr. Martin jumped up and cast a dagger-like look Drew's way.

Drew subsequently stopped typing. "That is what it is, Mr. Martin. Lily no longer desires you as her father."

"No! You brat! I won't sign this! What are you talking about? When did that shameless woman turn her back on me? We are talking about my daughter here! Bring Lily to me so we can resolve this immediately!"

"Mind your words, or else you won't get even one cent!" Drew yelled fiercely.

Mr. Martin was frightened and retreated a little. Drew stood up to approach him.

“M-Mr. Walton, we need to clear up this matter and review the law before disqualifying Lily as Mr. Martin's daughter," the other attorney retorted tensely. Despite Drew's poor reputation, he is still the grandson of the Walton Group. He is fifty times more powerful and wealthy than Mr. Martin.

"Mr. Martin, think about this carefully. You should consider it seriously. Keep in mind that what Mr. Walton is offering you is not a small amount," stated Drew's lawyer.

Lily’s father left angrily, followed by his scared lawyer. He had already anticipated his actions. Did he expect to get more money from him in the future? Nothing! Drew only wanted Mr. Martin to avoid his wife at all costs.

"What about the issue with Victor Panganiban?" Drew asked his lawyer, who remained in the room.

"It's true, boss, that they have insurance. However, investigations reveal that they were secretly using a gas tank in the kitchen, which is what actually caused the explosion. Victor Panganiban didn't know about it, but some of his crew noticed the gas tank. He is unlikely to receive any insurance money. In addition to the damage he had to compensate to the Walton Group, he must be in serious trouble. Currently, he is searching for the head chef, who allegedly left the country."

“Okay. Let me know how he will handle that.” Drew sneered. 

His lawyer bid him farewell afterward. Drew desired to engage with Victor in a game. He had never experienced such an intense desire for revenge against someone. He had never considered seeking revenge on his ex-girlfriend or anyone else, even in the past. Such actions were too mundane for his life.

But Lily... She resembled a rare wildflower that could only be found in a dense, dark forest. She had prickles in his eyes!

He might have felt challenged by her circumstances, but he wanted to protect her from harm.

She might have entered his life by chance, but he was already a part of her story.
