3rd P.O.V.Harley walked Beatrix to her apartment, both of them in comfortable silence. Beatrix was lost in thought, thinking about her brother's condition and the mounting medical bills. As Harley dropped Beatrix off at Apollo's place, Seb, Harold, and Michael happened to be walking by. They immediately recognized Beatrix and wondered what she was doing there with Harley."Hey, Beatrix, what are you doing here with Harley?" Seb asked curiously.Beatrix sighed, not in the mood to explain her complicated relationship with Apollo. "It's none of your business, Seb," she said curtly.Harold stepped in to diffuse the tension. "Come on, Beatrix. Let's go inside and catch up. It's been a while," he said, gesturing towards Apollo's house.Beatrix hesitated, not sure if she wanted to get involved with Apollo's friends. But she didn't want to be rude, so she reluctantly followed Harold inside.Once they got inside, Harold, Seb, and Michael realized that Apollo's apartment was empty. Harold sug
RIX’s P.O.V.I took a step forward, my hands clasped tightly in front of me. "I want to quit," I said quietly.Apollo's eyebrow raised. "Quit what?""Being your contracted wife, being a slave under this stupid deal," I said, my voice growing more confident as I spoke.Apollo frowned. "You know the deal, Beatrix. You signed a contract.""I know,'' I said, nodding. "But I can't take it anymore. I'm tired of pretending to be something I'm not. I'm tired of living this life. I'm tired of pretending I can take everything and I can breathe everything, when I can't. I’m tired.”Apollo stood up, towering over me. "You knew what you were getting into when you signed that contract," he said, his voice low and menacing. "You agreed to be my contracted wife for six months. You can't back out now."I swallowed hard, my throat feeling tight as I was trying so hard not to cry. "I know," she said softly. "But I can't keep doing this. It's not who I am."Apollo stared at me for a long moment, his expr
3rd P.O.V.Beatrix said her goodbyes to her friends, Charis and Harley, then she decided to go to the hospital where Andrei was admitted. As far as she remember, Jade was there the last time she visited.Beatrix arrived at the hospital with Jade by her side. Andrei was lying in bed, his eyes closed, and his breathing shallow. Beatrix was relieved to see him awake, but she noticed something was off. Andrei's blood pressure suddenly increased, and he started to have a seizure.Beatrix called for the nurse, who quickly came in and administered medication to stop the seizure. The nurse then informed Beatrix that Andrei's sudden emotional outburst triggered the seizure.Beatrix immediately thought it was because of Jade. She turned to Jade and told her, "Jade, you have to calm down when you talk to Andrei. Your excitement is overwhelming him, and it's not good for his health."Jade looked at Andrei with tears in her eyes and hugged him tightly. "I'm so sorry, Andrei. I didn't know I was h
RIX’s P.O.V.Apollo gave me the drink, so I drank it. As well as him.He lay me down on the table, and he smiled devilishly.“My dinner…”I smiled, but then furrowed after that. “Could you just do it? God, stop withholding your actions! You're hurting my belly!”Apollo runs his finger through my lips as he goes, “Shush.”I bit my lower lip… Then he placed the ice on top of me and then sat on me. Now, he's slowly running through my body with the ice that he let me bring. He ends when he reached my cunt. Gosh…Now his hardened cock is slapping my entering.But instead of feeling like Apollo is giving me a hard time because he’s hanging the sensation in the middle of almost sex, I felt the lust even more— the hot drunken emotion.I even moaned…Slowly, he entered his, as his hands traveled around my legs. This isn't just lust…This isn't just sex. This is something else, there’s more than lust in between his eyes. But why is he trying to keep himself from feeling it?Why is he hu
3rd P.O.V.Beatrix and Apollo went back to the club, while Apolo is assisting Beatrix, hugging her. Apollo and Beatrix were standing in the corner of the club, the latter still wrapped in a tablecloth, while the former tried to comfort her. Suddenly, Harley stormed in, his eyes fixated on Apollo."What the hell is going on here?" Harley growled, his fists clenched at his sides.Apollo shot him a cold glare. "This is none of your business, Harley."Aileen appeared too, pushing Beatrix away from Apollo. “Stop this, Apollo! You know what are we! Why are you hanging out with a bitch?!”Harley took a step forward. "It is when Beatrix is involved, I'm part of the business. Also, this bitch beside you, silence her, or I will hurt her."Beatrix sniffled, wiping away her tears. "Guys, please stop fighting."But Apollo and Harley were already facing off, their tempers flaring. Harley threw the first punch, but Apollo easily dodged it, retaliating with a hit to the gut. Harley stumbled back, g
3rd POVAs they arrived at Apollo’s condo, Beatrix helped herself up. She was full of wounds because of Aileen. Apollo took Beatrix's hand and led her to the couch. They sat down, and Apollo pulled her closer to him."I promise to take care of you and your brother, Beatrix. I know how important family is to you," Apollo said, looking at her with a serious expression.Beatrix's eyes teared up at his words. She had never felt so cared for by anyone before. "Thank you, Apollo," she said softly, placing her head on his shoulder.Apollo wrapped his arms around her, and they sat there in silence for a while, enjoying each other's company. For the first time in a long time, Beatrix felt like everything was going to be okay. Apollo clean her up and put medications on every wound that she got from Aileen.

3rd P.O.V.Early in the morning when the sun was shining bright striking Jade’s eyes who were still sleeping on the sofa placed inside Andrei’s room in the hospital.Jade was half-awake, trying to examine everything that was happening inside Andrei’s room. She found herself in a noisy environment and was forced to wake up in full. Jade tried to sit while she was remembering the last thing that she remember with Andrei. They were alone inside Andrei's room and they had a lot of things to talk about.As for Jade, it was one of the most memorable nights in her life. She was awakened by the sound of the loudest apparatus placed at the side of Andrei’s bed.There were a lot of doctors and nurses that are checking Andrei, especially his vital signs. Andrei was having a seizure and it lasted so long.When Jade saw Andrei in this state, she immediately squeezed herself in to see Andrei closer.This was a piece of shocking news for Jade because last night she just had a conversation with A
Rix's P.O.V. Entering the convenience store, I saw a lot of food that made me start craving.I could feel my belly starting to rumble with hunger.Then I realized that I had been forgetting to eat on time because I was busy staring into nothingness, and also because of the persistent nausea I had been feeling for weeks now.There was a large round mirror hanging in every corner of the convenience store.Curiously, I looked at it, hoping to catch a glimpse of Apollo, whom I suspected had been following me for hours.As I sat on a chair right now, I pondered various excuses I could use to lure him to go away.But right now, I felt drained of energy and decided to simply face him to tell him that I don’t want anyone following me.Facing people and expressing what I wanted to say was never my strong suit. So it’s really difficult.I preferred keeping everything bottled up inside, even if it took a toll on me. It didn't bother me at all.I glanced at the round mirror above me, hoping to s
