“I didn’t even shoot , I just wanted to scare her.
"She’s too weak “ it was the voice of a female. An unfamiliar voice. “Have you lost your fucking mind? “ Vitali’s rage was evident in his voice. “You really think I was going to try to kill your slave? There wasn’t even a bullet in the gun” “Shut the fuck up, Livia!!! And ohh…you better pray because if anything happens to her, you’re gonna pay in so many ways you would not like” Vitali threatened the woman whose name I just learned was Livia. I shut my eyes even tighter, pretending to be asleep. I could feel a slight ache in my head probably from the fall I had earlier. I was tempted to peek through my lashes so I could catch a glimpse of the woman who had held the gun to my head but I was too scared of what might happen if she caught me. I heard her heels clicking towards where I lay. My heart skipped a beat for reasons I could not quite explain. Something about her presence and aura terrified me. “You can end the act now bitch. I know you’re awake .” Her voice was low almost a whisper. I lay still, trying to sell my act regardless. “Get up!” It was a simple command yet I didn’t move. I wasn’t trying to be stubborn, I just couldn’t move. Maybe I was scared or nervous , I couldn’t decide. I screamed as I felt a sharp pain on my scalp. She pulled at my hair and sat me up. Tears brimmed in my eyes from the pain. Didn’t she care that I had earlier fainted? Why was everyone here so mean and hardened? I wiped my eyes and sat up properly. I noticed we were in my room. “Next time I tell you to do something and you hesitate, I’ll make sure I deal with you. Understood?” She glowered. “Ye..yes …” I stuttered. I didn’t know what title to address her with. “You address me as ma’am” she announced as though she could hear my thoughts. “Yes ma’am” I nodded rapidly. “Good!” She smirked in satisfaction. “I’d like to introduce myself properly. I am Livia, I’m close to Vitali, and we share a special bond that no one can break, not even you a silly slave” She laughed dryly and then continued “I am also second in command around here, so you must do as I say so we don’t have any problems. Clear enough?” She demanded, her blue eyes narrow and her bright red lips turned up in a sneer. She was really beautiful, dressed in a mini black shimmery dress that screamed money and red bottom heels to match. Her perfectly manicured red nails pointed at me. She had a perfect body, an hourglass figure and nice tits. I wondered if she was Vitali’s girlfriend but that wouldn’t make any sense because she wouldn’t let him get married to me or anyone else. “Clear enough? “ she thundered bringing my attention back to what she was saying and I flinched "Y..yes ma’am “ I was visibly uneasy. “What is going on here “My stomach turned deliciously at the sound of that voice. “Oh hi babe …I was just setting some ground rules for the slave here” She adjusted her dress and smiled seductively at him. Babe? Did she just call him babe? Why do I feel a pang in my chest? There’s no way I’m jealous, I mean he’s not even mine. Well, technically he is because we are married but then it’s not like we are in love. ‘Maybe you love him’ a stupid voice at the back of my head says I do not love him! “What?” Both Vitali and Livia turn to look at me with bewildered faces. Oh no…I think I said that out loud. “I think your slave is psych” Livia chuck "Wife!” He corrected “Wife? This thing? Your wife? “ she chucked again hoping he was joking. “Yes, my wife. We got married yesterday, you weren’t invited” he shoved his hands in his pocket. “This …this thing? The wife to Vitali Marino ? “ she scoffed in disbelief as she threw consecutive glances at me and Vitali. “Yes. But it doesn’t mean we won’t continue having our fun” he smirked and spanked her ass loudly. I gasped in disbelief as she bit her lip I could tell she liked it. He didn’t even have any regard for me, I was his wife yet he was clearly showing me with no remorse that he wasn’t going to be a faithful husband. “Now get out!” He pointed at the door. I slowly walked towards it. I was sure they needed privacy to continue what he had started. “Not you silly…Livia get out! Let her get some rest” He nudged her. Shooting me a look of displeasure, she walked out majestically. Her heels clicked behind her. ********* I love the smell of my lavender body wash - I thought to myself as I exited the bathroom. I had just taken my bath and I sat in front of the dressing table so I could dry out my hair with hair dryer. Barely 5 minutes later I heard my door unlock. I was certain that I locked the door but this person had a spare key. In a state of panic, I grabbed my hair dryer hoping to use it as a weapon. In no time, the door was thrown open to reveal a very attractive Vitali. He wasn’t wearing a shirt, his chest looked good. I swallowed. I let my eyes travel down his torso, his shorts hung dangerously low, revealing the V-line that traveled into his shorts. “Close your mouth” he snapped and blushing in embarrassment, I looked away. I immediately became conscious of myself; I was dressed in just a towel if he had knocked at least, I’d have had time to cover up. He walked slowly but steadily towards me. He stroked my Chin with his index finger and the air around us seemed to be still. My heart was beating fast and my stomach churned with a thousand and one butterflies. “Lay down on the bed “ he ordered. I knew what was coming, I could remember his words from that other day. He said he would wait until we were married, that was definitely what was going on now. I was scared. I didn’t know what exactly he wanted to do to me but I had an idea. I climbed the bed obediently and I lay on my back. I watched him with bated breath as he pulled out two pairs of handcuffs from his pockets. Was he into some BDSM type of shit? He gently handcuffed each hand to the bedstead, then lowered his face towards mine until our noses were only inches apart. He smelled so good, that I wanted our lips to press and hold. “This is to keep you in place, just in case it hurts so bad and you want to wiggle your arms and break free” What’s going to hurt so bad? Oh, good lord! I hope he wasn’t going to force himself on me. “I’m gonna enjoy this” he muttered slowly as he got up. “What are you going to do to me …pl…please?” I whimpered. “You’ll find out “ he smirked in a sinister way that made my insides chill. “Come in “ he called out towards the door. I widened my eyes in shock. I was in just a towel, who was he inviting inside? The door unlocked and two men walked in. What was going on?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
