Mag-log in*****ELARA's POV*****I crashed into Cyrus' arms the moment I saw him and he pulled me in for a tight hug. We had agreed to meet at my office but he got here before me.“I should have listened to you, I'm so stupid,” I cried out, sobbing uncontrollably.“Don’t be so hard on yourself, it's not your fault,” Cyrus replied in a calm tone, patting my head softly.I tried to stop the tears but they wouldn't stop coming and as much as I wanted to talk about it, I can't tell Cyrus why. I can't tell him I was breaking down not only because of the lies, but because I had given my body to Axel, because I thought I could trust him, I thought I meant something to him.Cyrus held me so tight, like he was scared my body would disintegrate if he let go and I just let myself bask in his warm embrace, staying there for a little while, till I was able to pull away without breaking down all over again.He took me to the couch in the left corner of my office, sitting beside me.“I don't think you shoul
He froze.Immediately letting go of my arm the moment those words came out of my mouth.The color drained from his face, the look on his eyes was enough to give him away. Fingers curling at his side into a fist, he swallowed hard, jaw tightening, fear flickering in his eyes as he stared at me silently, unmoving…like the truth had finally caught up to him and he didn’t know what would come next.“F*cking say something!!!,” I yelled, tears streaming down my eyes.“Axel I thought we had something, I thought there was something special blooming here…or was I wrong?” “Elara, please don't say that,” he said, stretching his arm to me.“Don't touch me!!” I yelled and shoved his hand away for the second time.I stared at him for a couple seconds, a bitter feeling crawling up my throat to my tongue.“Do I even mean anything to you?” I asked him, before shaking my head softly, a defeated smile forming on my lips.He looked like he was going to say something, but couldn't choose the right words
He rolled over on the bed and let out a deep exhale, then took my hand, prompting me to look at him.“Are you okay?” He asked softly.“Yeah,” I nodded my head.“Alright, just making sure…because that was really intense.”Intense?Intense doesn't even begin to describe it.“It's nothing I can't handle,” I winked at him and he chuckled, shaking his head.His gaze drifted back to the ceiling and stayed there, just like mine, as we both drew shallow breaths.I was still trying to process the fact that I just had sex with Axel.It's just sex. It shouldn't mean much.But deep down, I knew this singular act had just complicated everything.It was supposed to be a fake marriage, no strings attached and we both part ways after getting what we wanted. But with how he just made love to me, I didn't need a fortune teller to know this was more than just a fake marriage.But still, it isn't a defined relationship.And the thought of him leaving.…I sighed under my breath.I don't even want to thin
“You’ve got to be f*cking kidding me,” I cursed as I lay flat on the bed. “Is this some kind of game to you? Trying to make me sexually frustrated.” An exasperated sigh slipped from my lips, gaze fixed on the ceiling.But he didn't answer.“I honestly don't see what you're trying to achieve with this.” Still no answerI lifted myself up from the bed about to yell at him when my breath seized in my throat as I caught sight of what was in front of me, staring directly at my face.Axel had striped himself completely naked while I lay down on the bed. Every piece of clothing on him was gone.I gulped, a familiar heat building up in my body again. But I couldn't tell if it was from how he looked even more dashing and majestic naked, like a dangerously hot work of art.Or if it was from the absolute beast of a d*ck pointing in my direction and twitching at me like it had a mind of its own.It was HUGE, so f*cking HUGE.I never thought they could get this big.I gulped as my desire immed
“Not so fast,” he shook his head and gave me the most menacing smirk.“What the F*CK!!” I couldn't hide my disappointment and I didn't even try to.“I had no idea you used cursed words,” he chuckled, carefully lifting me off his legs and back on the car seat.“Oh yeah,” I let out a sarcastic smile and sighed, resting my back on the seat.“I'm saving it for later,” he said, looking in between my legs as the last word left his tongue. “We'll pick up from where we stopped when we get home.” He fixed his trousers and adjusted his tie, eyes focused on the road.He’s dreaming if he thinks we’re picking up where he stopped. I’m going straight to bed the second we get home.I scoffed and folded my hands, staring straight at the road just like he was doing.The next second I felt a strong hand on my thigh and I turned to him, about to say someone witty when he caught me off.“You look so hot when you're mad,” he said, turning to steal a glance at me for a couple seconds, before averting his g
“You're joking,” I whispered under a shaky breath as I lifted my head for a brief second, catching only a glimpse of the satisfied smile on his face before tears completely blurred my vision.I had faith in Axel that he would help me get back what Dorian stole from me, but never in a million years would I have thought it would be this soon.My inheritance from my parents, every dime they left me, all transferred back to me in my name. Axel made the impossible possible again.“I don't even know what to say…this…this feels like a dream,” my voice came out in a broken whisper. “Thank you so much,” I said, gently wiping the tears from my face.He nodded his head and gave me a soft smile.Getting revenge for what Dorian and Alexis did to me had been my greatest drive, but now, with my baby on the way, and my inheritance back in my possession, every other thing felt pointless. The only thing I could think of was providing a healthy home for my baby.Not revenge, not payback, but focusing
