Regina stared at the maid in disbelief, her words still echoing in her head, not making any sense, thinking that surely it could not be the truth.Rage was racing in her veins and she felt her pulse accelerating. She posed the question again, somehow expecting a different answer. “What do you mean Edmund is sharing this room with his wife?”‘What wife?’Her blood started boiling and her vision blurred until she saw red before her eyes. She could only imagine the smoke coming out of her nose and ears, but undeniably that was how she felt.She was gripping the maid’s elbow, and she dropped it like it burned when that poor woman sent her some troubled glances.‘What has gotten into you, Regina? Behave!’“I am sorry.” Regina’s lips curled into a fake smile, the best she could display in the given circumstances.The maid cleared her throat before continuing. “As I already stated, Mister Stark and his wife, Mrs. Isabella, are sharing this room, so if you please excuse me, I need to prepare
Edmund was in trouble, Regina’s lustful eyes were hovering all over him. She traced her lips with her tongue in a slow motion, her breath blowing flames to his body. The power she used to exert over him was still written in every cell of his skin, and it was very demanding to put out the fire rushing through his veins. His gaze landed on her disarming breasts that were very much visible through her black nightgown, a mere piece of see-through lace fabric, that also revealed her bare pussy. A sudden constriction in the throat made it challenging for him to swallow his saliva. His breath hitched as her hands unbuttoned his shirt while she rubbed her lower half against his cock that was throbbing painfully in his pants. ‘Motherfucker!’ He inwardly cursed. She leaned her head and took his earlobe between her lips and tugged gently, tantalizing him before swirling her tongue inside. “Did you miss this? Did you miss making love to me?” She whispered sending erotic signals trough his
Isabella reached their room and slammed the door behind her. Her body was still shivering like a leaf, she fell back against the bed, trying to calm her racing heart.The stabbing pain of betrayal was eating her inside out, the urge to vomit intensified as her mind replayed over and over again the horrendous scene from his office. ‘You need to calm yourself to be able to get out of here soon!’Scanning the surroundings in the attempt to come out with a plan, she picked herself from the bed, crawled to the window, opened it and took deep breaths filling her lungs with fresh air, the chilly wind soaking the tears from her cheeks.‘You are such a crybaby, Isabella!’Without a second thought, she changed her outfit and started packing a small bag. The clothes, shoes, bags and other accessories did not belong to her and she did not intend to take anything that would remind her of him.‘As if he were someone easy to forget, yet he might wipe up any trace of my existence in a flash. In fact
After what seemed like ages for Isabella, she and Moira reached the location, a five stars hotel.‘I should have gotten used to it by now, they are practically made of money.’The car ride was quiet, she glanced through the window all the way there, trying to plan her next steps and Moira respected her need for space, she never asked a question, she was by far the most considerate person Isabella had met in years. ‘She confronted her cousin for a stranger like me, this speaks a lot of a person.’As they were heading to the suite, Isabella couldn't keep it to herself any longer.“I am really grateful for what you did.” She uttered remorsefully.Moira’s face widened in a huge smile. “Don’t be grateful until we order more food that we can eat and drink more alcohol than we can handle.” She joked while opening the door and inviting Isabella inside the breathtaking beautiful suite. “Besides, I should take the blame for having an idiot cousin.”Isabella burst into laughter, thinking that h
Back at the hotel suite where Isabella and Moira were staying, the hours passed without them even noticing, they were busy finishing almost half of the pile of food and two bottles of red wine.They did their best to dampen the atmosphere, but at some point, a weird silence settled in the room.“I think that being cheated on is written somewhere in my destiny.” Isabella found herself mumbling.“Come on, that’s not true. You just met a bunch of assholes. You’ll find the right guy in time. I’m sorry it was not Edmund, I should have known that he wasn’t able to move on from that horrible woman. I swear I don’t know what she does to drive men crazy!”“She must be a witch, putting a love spell on them.” She joked as a result of too much alcohol in her system. She never had more than a glass, but this time the situation required it. The wine numbed her body, her mind and even her senses.‘Anything to take my mind from what I witnessed, from his lies and betrayal. From the fact that he offe
Though they met recently, the little moments they spent together were enough to have an everlasting effect on Edmund, her beauty and innocence acted like a drug to him. ‘I am an addict and my drug’s name is Isabella.’ He missed the sweet taste of her skin while he claimed every single part of her body, he missed the sensual music created by her delicious moans. ‘Fuck! I miss all of her.’ Edmund could not sleep a wink the previous night, he spent half the night pacing the room and the other half running different imaginary scenarios in his head, things he should have said or things he should have done, but didn’t. Regret was crawling under his skin, ripping him apart, touching the core. The hurt in her eyes was an image that would haunt him for the rest of his life, the frustration was eating him raw. As a matter of fact, he believed it would be easier for him if someone would rip his heart out of his chest. His body was fuming with a mix of anger, despair and disappointment. H
Isabella woke up with a feeling similar to a panic attack, her breathing was uneven as her eyes explored the surroundings, searching for the one her heart was yearning for, Edmund.She was in a hospital bed, she pretty much made a habit of crying and fainting the last few days.‘Where is he? Where is Edmund?’ She became anxious to know.Without her knowledge, he became her safety net or something similar.Her regard was drawn to some papers on the table beside her bed, she grabbed them. Putting aside the memory stick that was on top of the documents, she picked up the first page, a note written by hand, her pulse racing in anticipation.’ll be well attended in my absence.I must admit that it’s very worrisome for me to know you always tend to hurt yourself by making hasty assumptions without w
Isabella’s senses were on high alert, yet she tried not to panic, nothing good was bound to come from that. “I am back. Alec, where are you? Alec?” She heard Moira’s voice outside along with footsteps, and she released the breath she did not realize that she was holding.Ales loosened the grip on her shoulder and opened the door. “I am in here, with Isabella, she needs her bag and tablet.”“But I left them in the living room.” Moira replied confused.His body stiffened suddenly. “I must have moved them with my luggage, my bad.”Isabella got a weird gut reaction being all alone with him in the suite and the fact that Edmund’s cousin returned lifted the suffocating burden from her chest.Watching the happy couple together made her feel that she panicked for nothing. Moira looked at him as if he was the only man on earth and he gazed at her the way one would gaze at their soulmate, that person that one could not live without.‘Why is my body responding like that when he is around?’Isa
