"And what about me?" Odette was the one who asked the question."How are you doing, sweetheart?" The woman gulped for air when Jacob inquired. Odette's rage flared in my direction, and she strode over to me and grabbed my hair before Jacob could intervene."How could you?" She yelled angrily.I was caught off guard when Odette attacked me. I was stunned and unable to respond! Jacob's voice was the one that jolted me awake. Then I made every effort to flee Odette, but she had gone insane and was clutching my hair ferociously."Odette, stop this right now!" Odette ignored him, and all he could do was gasp as her sharp nails scraped my face.I felt a sting as Odette's long nails pierced my skin and knew it would leave a mark. "Do you believe you're insane?" I yelled at Odette, but all she did was laugh.I turned my attention to Jacob, glaring at him because it was his fault. As a result of him, I suffered at the hands of his mistress. When Jacob finally managed to separate Odette and me,
I was expecting something more sensual and intimate between us, but all I got was a letdown. Following the restroom incident, Jacob gradually distanced himself from me.Most of the time, he's probably on a conference call or reading. He was too busy to talk to me, which irritated me! I wanted to pay him visits every day, but Jacob made that impossible.Furthermore, I couldn't figure out why I was missing him when we lived in the same house! Is it true that my feelings for him have gotten out of hand? We ran into each other in the corridor one day after both of us exited our bedrooms at the same time. Jacob's disregard for me was perplexing. As he walked past me, I grabbed his arm and stopped him."What are you up to, Jacob?"Jacob's gaze shifted from my delicate hand on his arm to me. "I'm doing the right thing, Bethany," he said."Like you're ignoring me?" If you keep acting like this, I'd rather leave Jacob." I gave him an ultimatum because my annoyance had reached a boiling point a
I was disappointed when Jacob flatly refused my invitation. I tried to sleep by closing my eyes, but I couldn't fall asleep. I got out of bed, annoyed that I didn't get what i wanted, and made my way to the door. I tiptoed down the hallway to Jacob's room, exhaling deeply as I paused outside his door. I stood near the door but couldn't bring myself to knock. I couldn't decide whether to knock or go back to my room. I took another deep breath and closed my eyes. When I felt confident enough to announce my presence, I raised my hand and knocked on his door.The door opened with only three knocks, and I swallowed the lump in my throat while trying to calm my heartbeat. I wasn't supposed to be nervous in his presence, but the way he looked at me was out of the ordinary.I averted my gaze because I felt naked in front of his eyes, but Jacob caressed my face and compelled me to look at him. For a brief moment, our gazes were locked, and no one dared to look away. Standing outside his room i
Neither of us dared to speak after what happened. I wasn't coerced into doing it, and he wasn't either. I let it happen because I wanted to fulfil something…such as a need I didn’t know existed. However, I wished I wasn’t weak enough to succumb to his charms again. I wished I was able to say no. I wished I had the courage to stop him!"Jacob..." I bit my bottom lip after calling his name, and my cheeks burned as he stared at me. "Could you possibly face the wall while I speak?""Why?" he asked in response."Hmmm, because looking at you right now is embarrassing," I admitted the truth and he just chuckled. I warned him with a death stare but the man was so amazed about something. “Please, don’t stare at me,” I requested."How about this?" He muttered as he rolled over on my top instead of doing what I asked him to do. I shifted my gaze away. It's heinous and humiliating!"It was just a simple request,” I complained while trying to push him away from me.“Yes, but I don’t feel like doin
For the first time, I considered calling my father. Since I was his only daughter, he was probably worried, right? Or maybe he was not worried at all. If that was the case, maybe I should try not to think about him anymore. However, I have been missing him terribly and I wished he would come and find me very soon.If only I was obedient to him, maybe, my life would be a little different, and no infant should suffer because of my poor choices. Thinking about my daughter again made me feel sick! I was not a good daughter, and in the end, I became a bad mother to my child. The feeling of regret rushed through me and I felt like vomiting! Everything was my fault! As an Alpha’s daughter, it was expected to marry someone with a reputable background. What the hell was I thinking back then? Why did I even consider rebelling against my father’s wishes?After taking a deep breath, I dialled his phone number and sighed again while waiting for the call to connect. I couldn’t think properly while
Pedro arrived shortly after I spoke with my father with a bouquet. When I saw him again, I was taken aback. "How's it going for you, Pedro? It's been a long time since you visited," I said as soon as he walked into Jacob's house."Please accept my sincere apologies. Recently, I've been completely consumed by my work. "Would you like to have coffee later?”I narrowed my eyes at him because we weren't in a relationship to be dating or sharing coffee or anything like that. He was welcome to come to visit us, but now that Jacob and I were closer, I didn't think it was appropriate to entertain him. "What makes you think we should grab a cup of coffee?" I was curious to know about his position without offending him."Because we're friends,” he replied nonchalantly.“Or we can have it at home,” I said because going out with him would be next to impossible. Besides, I didn’t want to emotionally cheat against Jacob despite our uncertain relationship. “I’m sorry but I’m no longer allowed to go
He mocked me, and his gaze never left mine as he said those things, and I felt something hot and wet between my thighs. As soon as he realized the effect of his hot words on me, he took a step closer and slipped his hand towards my wet folds."Jacob..." I purred as he rubbed his fingers on it. I moaned softly but I couldn't let myself be seduced by his charms again. I had to regain control of my body. “Stop!” I demanded even before he could do much more than rub his hands together.However, my words lacked conviction and he didn’t listen. He kept rubbing my clitoris, up and down, and then his finger drew some circles on it, and I could no longer deny the pleasure seeping through my body.When I arched my back to welcome his touch, he took it as a sign of my submission and without further ado, his finger penetrated me. I screamed in pleasure because I loved what he did to me. I spread my legs a little wider to give him more access and before I knew it, his tongue replaced his finger.
I reminded myself to be cautious around Jacob as I descended the stairwell. He considered me as his woman because we were intimate and I should be glad he regarded me that way. However, I knew for a fact that I was just a side chick, or the available one whenever he felt the need to have good sex.It was a mistake to allow him those liberties to touch my body. For the nth time, I reminded myself to never settle for anything less when it comes to my heart. If he really wanted me to be his woman, he should try to win my heart, however, in the long run, he would still choose to marry his mate. In the end, I would just break my heart…again… by expecting something he couldn’t give to me.A deep sigh escaped from my lips because I was only trying to fool myself. What’s the point of overthinking when I already surrendered my body to him? As my thoughts were filled with him, I decided to take a cold shower to refresh my body and mind.After the shower, I went downstairs to try a new recipe bu
