I couldn’t believe he just said that.
“S…sir?” My voice trembled, giving away my fear
“I do not like repeating myself" his voice was dangerously low.
Tears welled up in my eyes. No man had ever seen me naked.
“Please, sir ….I …I can’t. You can’t ask me to do that,” I pleaded, hoping to change his mind.
“I can ask you to do whatever, You belong to me !” He growled possessively or angrily …or both.
“As your slut?” I sniffed remembering when someone asked whose slut I was at the ball.
He stood up and walked slowly towards me. I watched him, he had a perfectly toned body. His
smooth hairless broad chest begged me to run my hands over them.What was I thinking, why was I having such thoughts towards him? I internally face-palmed
He stopped very close to me, so close that our chests almost touched. He smelled delicious and it made my core throb. I need to stop having this kind of thought but I almost couldn’t help it.
He was drop-dead gorgeous and handsome and everything a woman’s dream man needed to be.
His face was sculpted to perfection, his nose pointed, his lips full and sensual; a dull shade of pink. They looked very soft and kissable. His jawline and cheekbone were chiselled in the best way I’d ever seen. His hair was messy probably from running his hands through it during his shower because it was perfectly styled earlier at the ball.
I let out a small whimper when he grabbed my waist and he gave me a knowing smirk.
“You’re aroused “ it wasn’t a question.
“N..no” I played with my fingers nervously.
“You’re not as innocent as you pretend to be.
Fucking whore” he snorted.
“I’m not a whore “ my voice broke
“Take off your clothes now!” It was an order, I looked at his face. It was emotionless, his eyes
dark like those of a predator ready to devour a prey.I was so scared of him. I couldn’t even scream for help and I was sure that if I did no one would
come to my rescue.Obediently, I pulled my silk nightdress over my head, and I stood in front of him wearing only a pair of lace panties.
I used my hands to cover my boobs.
“Take those off too” he pointed at my panties
“Now!” He added when I hesitated
The tears fell freely now.
I slowly pulled off my panties while he watched. I could see the growing bulge in his trousers, and for some reason, I wanted to feel it. What is wrong with you, Beth?
He stretched out his hands to collect my panties and then he sniffed it. I felt my pussy tingle when he did that. I wanted him to touch me….I need to stop.
“Stand erect!” He ordered, and I obeyed with no hesitation, but I looked down.
He slowly lifted my tear-stained face so that I was looking into his eyes.
I could feel how hard my nipples were from his gaze. He held them both with his fingertips and squeezed the taut nub gently, and an involuntary moan escaped my lips. I slapped my hand over my mouth embarrassed.
“Fucking whore”, he whispered, and I felt ashamed.
“We would wait until you’re officially mine until we are married “ he sat down on the extra large king-sized bed. I think the bed was customized or something.
“Ma…married?” I widened my eyes. I didn’t think he was going to marry me, I thought I was just a commodity to him. This was great news; we would then be equals, and he’d treat me with some respect. I liked the idea.
“You seem to stutter a lot, Elizabeth ”
Something about how he said my name made shivers run down my spine. The way his name rolled off his tongue like he was tasting it.
“Are you a stammerer?” He sounded irritated
“No sir,” I answered quickly so as not to annoy him further. The truth was he always made me nervous around him and I stuttered when I was nervous.
“Then stop it . It gets on my fucking nerves"
“I’m sorry sir” I struggle to say without stuttering.
“To answer your question we are getting married tomorrow so brace yourself. Now get out“ he dismissed without giving me time to process what the freak just happened and what he just said.
That’s so sudden
I hurriedly put on my night dress and holding my panties in my palm , I scurry to my own room feeling dirty and harassed.
******** I check my phone, it’s just 9pm. I don’t usually go to bed early so I was very much awake.I thought about everything and the situation of my new life. I knew I had lost the job at the coffee shop and also the job at the club because Zoe couldn’t cover for me today as well.
I was going to either find another job because I really needed to complete my money for college. I had given my dad all I saved up for rent ,it wasn’t complete but he’d have to make do with it .
Feeling thirsty, I stand up to go get some water from the kitchen. I hear a few voices and I perceive the strong stench of cigarettes and alcohol. I knew it was probably Vitali and his friends.
I was being careful not to make any noise when I entered the kitchen.
The kitchen was a large one and well furnished too.
I opened the fridge, collected a bottle of water and walked to the counter to grab a glass.
As I headed back to my room I heard the sound of gunshot and I stilled. My heart was thumping really loudly I have never heard a gunshot in my life.
I looked downstairs and I could see Vitali with a gun, he had just shot a man and two other guys put his corpse in a sack and left.
Vitali looked up and our eyes met.
I ran away in fear to my room.
Did I just witness someone being killed?
Did Vitali really kill that man?
Am I an acquaintance of a murderer?
Should I report to the police ?
I didn’t have the answers.
I was sipping coffee and checking my email when I heard a knock at the door. I got up to answer it, expecting it to be Zoe or maybe a delivery person because I had ordered some food. But to my surprise, it was a courier holding a small package. "Sign here, please," he said, handing me a clipboard.I signed for the package and took it from him. It was a small, elegantly wrapped box with a card attached to it. I opened the card and pulled out the note inside.It was from Vitali."Will you go on a date with me?" the note read. "Meet me at the Italian restaurant downtown at 7pm tonight." I felt a flutter in my stomach as I read the note. Vitali was certainly full of surprises.I looked at the package again and unwrapped it. Inside, I found a beautiful silver necklace with a small crystal pendant. It was gorgeous. I bit my lips to suppress a smile. I thanked the courier and got back inside Vitali and I had been seeing each other every day for the past one week.He’d tried to kiss me
“OMG! You needed to see you two” Zoe shrieked as I went back to meet her after the dance had ended.“ I know, right! I couldn’t believe it” I blushed“Aww does this mean you’re gonna leave me soon” she pouted “Of course not darling. If he wants me back, he’s gonna work for it” I stated“Boss queen energy, I love it” she giggled “Sorry to interrupt you, ladies” Vitali interrupted “How can we help?” I said, turning to him. “ the event is over and I’m about to head home. I was just wondering if I could give you ladies a ride” he said charmingly“Um…we don’t…”“Yes, kind sir. Take us to your car “ Zoe cut me short and Vitali nodded with a smile, his eyes trained on me “What? “ I glared at Zoe as we walked outside with Vitali. “It’s my chance to enjoy a fancy ride. I won’t lose it “ she whispered “Oh my goodness “ I shook my head at her Of course I wasn’t going to turn him down, I was just gonna play a little hard to get but I guess Zoe wasn’t taking chances Soon, the three of us
“What’s going on?” I whispered I was very certain this was going to make the headlines What the freak was he trying to do? I hope this wasn’t another plan to embarrass or make fun of me He smiled, his eyes locked on mine. "I'm here to apologize," he said, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear. "I was wrong to hurt you, Elizabeth. I love you, and I want to make it right." I could hear the loud gasps and whispers ‘How could he love her ?’ ‘Vitali’s in love?’ ‘Eww she’s such a pauper ‘‘He couldn’t find anyone else ?’ And many more condescending comments filled my ears “I’d been a horrible horrible man to you. I’ve treated you badly, so badly you now want nothing to do with me and I want to fix that. Please give me a chance Elizabeth” The air seemed to hang still I tried to speak but my mouth felt dry. Vitali coming out in the public to do something like this was a big deal. Did I really mean that much to him? “Vitali I…” I struggled to find my words “You don’t
It was a lazy weekend, Zoe had gone to her new workplace. She had quit working at the club and was now working as a waitress in a restaurant nearby. I asked why she quit since the pay was better at the club but she explained that she was relocating and the sexual harassment from patrons at the club was too much It was already time for her to get back but she wasn’t here yet . I was lounging on the couch, scrolling through my phone, when Zoe burst into the room. "Beth, guess what?" she exclaimed, holding up two invitations. I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. "What is it?" "We're invited to Tyler Jackson's company’s anniversary party!" Zoe said, her eyes shining with excitement. “Um…Tyler Jackson as in CEO of TJ corporation, son of multi-millionaire Harris Jackson? “ I widened my eyes in surprise “Yes! That Tyler Jackson “ she squealed“Omg, no freaking way. How did we get invited? He doesn’t even know us “ I wondered “Honestly …I don’t know. I just found two invitations with bo
BETH’S POV:Zoe and I sat on the couch, sipping some fresh juice and chatting. Zoe had been trying to convince me to give Vitali another chance, but I was adamant that I was done with him.I couldn’t even believe she could even suggest something so ridiculous "I'm telling you, Beth, I think Vitali still loves you," Zoe said, her eyes shining with conviction. "He's been a mess since you left him, from what you just said. He was even able to find you, that’s intentionality right there”“You don’t know that man. He’s doing all this to feed his ego. He actually doesn’t give a fuck “ I argued“I know he hurt you and you’re pissed right now and I also know that you miss him” she replied“No. I do not “ I denied but she could see right through me “I watch you every day Beth, you’re not moving on. You’re hurting so bad it’s eating you up and you still love him. Why not give him a chance to fix this ?” Her eyes held so much emotion And she wasn’t wrong but it didn’t mean I wanted to go back
VITALI’S POV:The sound of a man begging for his life is both exquisite and annoying.I stared down blankly at Derek, or so his name was, begging pathetically for his worthless life, like the annoying piece of shit he is. I don't even know why they try.There was no other way out for them. For men like Derek. All they had to do was pay up their debt and by doing so, they made my job less annoying with their bloody pleas.Derek owed me a debt, he wasn’t going to be the first man to find it difficult to pay me back what he owed. But he was going to be the first I’d be dealing with before his deadline was up.His pleas made my ears fucking bleed.It's always the same with men like them. They take loans bigger than their balls and gamble it up and down till there's nothing but their shriveling flesh left to offer when the time comes to pay up.Then they begin to beg, cry, and whine for their pathetic lives. It's so fucking ugly that I want to grab their neck and break it so they never utt
