View MoreElena's POV.
I married a dominant man. Adrian Black, my husband treats sex the same way he treats work.. He doesn't make love, doesn't whisper sweet things, doesn't even kiss me. He just pushes me into the mattress, slides inside me with that thick, heavy cock of his, and takes what he needs. And I being the pathetic contract wife takes whatever pieces of pleasure that falls through his fingers. “F…fuck Adrian!” His hips slammed into me again making moans fly out of my mouth faster than I could swallow them. “Don’t stop…” I gasped, voice already breaking. Adrian didn’t respond, Instead, his grip clamped around my hips and he flipped me over effortlessly, like my body weighed nothing to him. My back hit the mattress, legs falling open before I could even catch my breath. His palms pushed my thighs wider and then he drove into me in one brutal, merciless thrust. “Ah…Adrian!” The cry ripped out of me as my hands shot up, grabbing the headboard so I wouldn't slide up the bed from the force of him slamming into me. He didn’t slow down, he just kept pounding into me with heavy thrusts that made my breasts bounce uncontrollably with every snap of his hips. “Hold still,” he grunted, spreading my legs even wider with his knee. I tried…God, I tried…but the pleasure built too fast, curling deep in my stomach. “Oh my God…” I screamed, voice cracking. “I’m so close, baby…please don’t stop…please…” “Fuuuck…Adrian!” My back arched off the bed as I came, body shaking violently beneath him. He didn’t stop and then after one last thrust, he pulled out quickly, breathing hard as he rolled off the condom. Before he could even toss it aside, his phone rang. Adrian didn’t even spare me a glance as he answered. “Yeah,” he said, already standing. “I’m coming.” My legs were still shaking when he stepped away from the bed, grabbing his shirt from the chair like nothing had happened and started typing on his phone. I swallowed hard, forcing myself upright. My body still pulsed with the aftershocks of pleasure. I slid off the bed, still naked, and went to him, he didn't even acknowledge me. I pressed my palm over the firm curve of his ass, leaning into him, my fingers teasing the waistband of his trousers. With my other hand, I reached to stroke his dick, softening now, still warm from how deeply he’d been inside me. “What do you think you're doing Elena?” He asked angrily. “Don’t tell me you’re leaving…” My voice wavered before I could stop it. “Tonight is our anniversary, Adrian.” He kept typing. “We’re supposed to be planning to have another baby,” I whispered against his back. “Why do you keep using a condom? And…” “Woman, can you please shut up? You’re talking too much.” I froze. Adrian stepped aside and pointed at the desk without looking at me. “Sign the papers.” My breath snagged in my throat. “What papers?” I moved slowly, dread dripping down my spine as I reached the desk and my eyes skimmed through the words. DIVORCE. I gasped, the word cutting the air out of my lungs. “Divorce? W…what is the meaning of this? My voice cracked horribly. “Adrian… what did I do?” Adrian didn’t even look at me as he adjusted his cufflinks. “What you did or didn’t do,” he said flatly, “is none of my business.” My heart stopped. “The truth is,” he continued, slipping his phone into his pocket, “I’m tired of seeing your face every other day.” “You’re a contract wife, Elena. Nothing more. The deal was simple: give me a child, and I, pay for your professional exam. Which, might I remind you, cost millions.” My fingers tightened around the divorce papers until they crumpled. “Adrian…” My voice broke. “The contract stated five years. This is just four. Adrian, please…please don’t do this to me. I’ve fallen for you. I…” The confession cracked out of me like a wound tearing open. “For the sake of our child,” I cried, “who is going to raise her? She needs both of us.” Adrian scoffed, finally turning to me with a cold half-smile. “I’m very capable of raising my daughter, especially with the help of my fiancée, by the way.” My stomach dropped so fast I thought I’d collapse. “Fiancée?” I whispered. “She’s the reason, right? She’s the reason you’re calling off our marriage? I thought you said you were done with her.” Adrian’s eyes sharpened like I’d insulted something sacred. “Done with the woman I fell in love with when I was sixteen?” he sneered. “You must be out of your mind.” Why was I so delusional to think I could replace his first love, Gabrielle. She had broken his heart at nineteen and told him her career was more important than stupid teenage love. With the demise of his father and the company on the line, I, the foolish contract wife happened to be standing there at the right desperate time. He stepped closer, his height swallowing the space between us. “This…” He flicked a finger at me. At my naked, shaking, humiliated body. “This thing between us was merely transactional.” My breath broke. “I’m done, Elena.” He leaned over the desk, voice dropping into a cold growl that made my skin crawl. “Sign those fucking papers… and pack your bags. Leave before I get back.” “I…I can’t leave like that, Adrian.” My voice trembled so badly it barely sounded like mine. “I love you. She doesn’t. Gabrielle doesn’t love you, she’s only using…” Adrian’s laugh cut me clean in the chest. “I think the sex is getting into your head,” he said, wiping a hand over his jaw like he was bored. “Just because I fuck you every other day doesn’t automatically mean I’ll fall for you.” His words sliced deeper than anything he had ever done physically. “You’re just a placeholder, Elena.” He looked me up and down with disgust. “You were filling a gap until Gabrielle got her life together.” I swallowed a sob but it still crawled out of me, shaking. “Please…” My knees nearly buckled as I clutched the divorce papers to my chest. “Please don’t separate me from my child…she needs her mother…” He just walked to the door and pulled it open, the hallway light spilling in behind him. “If I return and meet you here,” he said in a voice so calm it terrified me more than his shouting ever could. “You’re spending the rest of your miserable life in jail.”Elena’s POVI knew Gabrielle was reading a text, but I was on edge myself.I couldn’t risk blowing my cover so soon.What was Adrian coming here for?He was in New York and I was in California so why did the thought bother me so much?My company was discreet. No appointments. No entry. Yet even so, my chest tightened at the mere idea of seeing him.Gabrielle was still muttering to herself.“Good… I’ve left town. Just leave me alone and stop stalking me,” she hissed, before switching off her phone.I needed no one to tell me they were both having issues.And for some strange reason I didn’t understand, it excited me… more than it should have.Gabrielle shot up from her seat.“I’ll take my money elsewhere,” she snapped. “I’m very sure there are people better than you. Rubbish!”She yelled angrily, her hand gripping the back of the chair.“Then you’ll continue living in hiding,” I said coolly, “looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life. Unable to attend events, unable to move
Elena's POVI was still trembling, every nerve screaming in the aftershocks of what had just happened.Slowly, I reached for the intercom, trying to steady my breathing.“Can you… please tell Gabrielle Blackwood that I’m in a business meeting and to wait thirty minutes?” I asked, my voice low but firm.“Of course, Dr. Royce,” the receptionist replied, oblivious to the chaos that had just passed in my office.I turned back to Walter, my heart still racing. His hands tried to pull me back toward the chair, his eyes dark with desire.“We’re not done,” he growled, low and urgent. “Neither of us has…cummed yet.”I pried his hand off me, still breathing hard, and straightened up.“I need to prepare for the meeting,” I said, my voice firm.Walter’s dark eyes searched mine, frustrated. “Ten minutes, then. I’ll be quick. I’m still fucking hard.”I shook my head, starting to pull on my clothes. “Leave me alone.”He blinked, taken aback by my sudden shift.“Why the change?” he asked, his tone bo

My job was simple: identify their enemies’ weak points and exploit them without mercy.By the time my clients’ opponents realized they were under attack, their boards were imploding and their power was already gone.And I got paid obscenely well for it.I founded my firm three years ago; Royce Strategic Holdings, and within a year, my client list became something people whispered abou
Elena's POVI was now a waitress at a five-star restaurant.I had no choice than to accept it, in exchange for a place to sleep, eat, and not feel the cold bite of the streets.One of Adrian’s close friend’s wives had been kind enough to offer me the job.She had no idea how cruel he was, or maybe she did and didn’t care.Either way, she ignored Adrian’s warnings to his circle not to help me in any way.It's not his fault, it's mine.I had been stupid enough to fall for someone who had made it painfully clear from the beginning whose heart he really belonged to.Four weeks had passed since the divorce and I had not seen my daughter even once.I have been searching for ways to contact her, through lawyers and intermediaries but all to no avail.I sighed as I entered the staff quarters after my shift, dragging my tired body toward the cot they had allotted me.I dropped my bag, kicked off my heels, and collapsed onto the bedI was just settling in when the sharp, commanding voice rang o
