"Unbelievable! My virtuous daughter-in-law wants to become my mistress. I must be dreaming." Watching Edrick pretending to be all surprised, I wanted nothing but the ground to open up and swallow me whole. "I am truly willing to do anything you want," I desperately said. "Suck my d**k. I need to check the product before I buy it, right?" The playful expression on Edrick's face faded as he spoke with an intimidating tone. "What!" I gasped. On the day Elaira got married, she was kidnapped by her ex Edrick from whom she ran away five years ago while being pregnant and discovered that Edrick was her husband's father. On top of that, Elaira's husband tried to give her away to his father as a price for getting acknowledgement as his heir. After knowing that she was just a pawn in her husband's scheme for inheritance and becoming her father-in-law's mistress overnight who will she choose? Her treacherous husband or formidable ex who wants Elaira to give birth to his child even though she is now his daughter-in-law!

"Speak now or forever hold peace," hearing the priest's solemn statement, my breathing quickened as my eyes remained locked on the imposing figure seated in the front row—my ex, Edrick Bennet. Just as I reached for my groom Aaron's hand at the altar, a wave of dread swept over my whole body as I caught sight of Edrick leisurely sipping his drink, his calm gaze fixed on me. What the hell is the hateful man doing here from whom I had run away four years ago with a broken heart? Is he here to break my marriage and seek revenge? I must be reading into things too much. He is one of the richest businessmen in the country. Maybe he is a shareholder in Aaron's company. It's not that he has any lackings of women, he may not even remember my face after all these years. But no matter how much I tried to calm myself, the fear wouldn’t go away as the rapid pounding of my heart intensified. After all, he is a merciless person who doesn't forgive betrayal. To my astonishment, the ceremony ended smoothly without any interruption. The church burst into the guest's joyful applauses all at once when Aaron leaned in and Kissed me sealing our wedding vows. But I couldn’t feel the heartwarming kiss as my fear got the better of me. A cold shiver ran down my spine as I saw Edrick watching me with a simmering intensity in his eyes like a silent predator patiently biding his time. "Darling, let's seek blessings from the elders and introduce you to our VIP guests," Aaron said softly holding my hand. "Aaron, I am feeling a little bit unwell. Can we please go home quickly?" The anxiety in my heart was increasing with every passing moment and I just wanted to get out of the sight of Edrick. "The wedding must have taken a toll on you. I can introduce you to them at the reception tomorrow. Let's go, I have prepared a surprise for you," Aaron gently said. After getting into the car, relief washed over me and I dared to breathe a little easier. "Thank you for everything you have done for me, Aaron." I felt my heart filled with warmth and sweetness. Aaron has always shown great care and consideration for me. I didn’t dare to fall in love for the second time in life but I have decided to start over again with this man who prioritises her over everything. "We will be together for a lifetime. It is my duty to look after you. Ah! I forgot to inform Grandpa that we're leaving. Can you wait for a moment? I will be quick," Aaron said while stroking my hair gently. "Sure, come back fast," I waved at him. I reclined into the leather seat and sat comfortably closing my eyes. At the sound of the door pulling, I thought that Aaron had come back. But when I opened my eyes, my breath hitched as I saw Edrick sliding into the car and gesturing to the driver to start the car. "Aaaaa!" I screamed in panic while trying to get out of the car. Failing to open the door, I started banging on the car glass with both of my hands shouting hysterically as the car began to move. "Nobody is going to come to rescue you. Save the wailing and screaming for later. I'll make you cry the whole night anyway," listening to Edrick's cold, piercing voice, I looked back at him in horror. But Edrick didn’t even spare me a glance, his eyes were solely focused on the road ahead. I recoiled to one corner of the car being petrified. I tried to calm my racing heart. I have a new identity. I am not Evelyn anymore, now I am Elaira. "Sir, who are you? Where are you taking me?" I tried not to stutter and sound reasonable. "Keep pretending as much as you want. You can fool Aaron, but not me," Edrick spat sharply, making my body cold all over. The number of buildings diminished and vast fields began to appear as the car drove for almost one hour before pulling off in front of a penthouse. As soon as the car stopped in the front yard, Edrick grasped my hand and forcefully marched me off inside the house disregarding all my pleas and screams. He dragged me inside the bathroom and pushed me beneath the shower. I stumbled on my heels and sprawled onto the cold marble floor. An immediate sharp pain shot through my whole body. As I tried to get up from the frigid floor, water began to course down from the shower soaking my whole body. Edrick firmly grabbed my arms and lifted me off the floor. He clamped my waist with one hand, preventing me from moving out of the shower, and started to rub my lips vigorously with the thumb of the other hand. "Didn't I warn you before that every inch of your body belongs to me and only I can touch you? How dare you let another man kiss you?" Edrick roared menacingly with bloodshot eyes. "Leave me. I don’t know you. Why are you doing this to me?" I screamed with anguish struggling to get free from Edrick's forceful grip as I felt my lips were torn apart. "So you can't recognise your owner now who used to always keep you full with his cum. Fine, let me refresh your memory." Edrick dragged me into the living room and switched the wall TV on. Soon, moans and muffled sounds started echoing through the whole room as a man and woman were visible on the screen, entangled with each other. The woman was crawling on the bed while the man was thrusting inside her p***y relentlessly. My eyes widened watching Edrick and my wild s*x video playing on the screen. Did he make this video secretly? How much is he going to humiliate me? I grabbed the remote from the table and was about to smash the TV but Edrick caught my hands. "Have you remembered now? Every time I used to plunge inside you, you would clench my d**k like a little whore not wanting to let go..." "Stop! Don't say these shameful things to me. I am not the person on the screen", I shouted cutting Edrick halfway. Gathering every ounce of strength in my body, I elbowed Edrick hard in his stomach. Due to the sudden vicious blow, Edrick staggered backwards a little bit. Getting freed from his grip momentarily, I hastily made a run for the door."What the hell are you saying? Is this just another one of your pathetic attempts to turn me against Edrick?" My voice trembled from anger. "I am not lying to you. Father knew your mother was close to developing the medicine before Bennet Pharmaceuticals. He couldn't let that happen. You know exactly what kind of man he is, don’t you?" Aaron said with a serious face. I took a sharp breath, my nails digging into my palms, "Edrick may be a ruthless person but he would never stoop so low as to kill a person." Aaron exhaled sharply shaking his head, "How do you think he has kept 'Bennet Corporation' at the top position continuously for so many years? Open your eyes, Elaira. he doesn’t think twice to eliminate anyone who stands in his way." My breath hitched, "Shut up." Edrick didn’t budge a bit while tearing down his company just to drag Aaron down. It’s true that he doesn’t hesitate to take extreme measures against his enemy to gain his motive. But Edrick killing someone?
I quickly hid the folder behind the books on the shelf and grabbed a random book hurriedly. Edrick walled towards me and wrapped his arms around me from behind, "What are you reading so late at night?" "Nothing. I was just looking through your book collection. It's already dawn, I need to go back to my room. You should go freshen up," I tried to speak normally even though my heart was beating like crazy. Edrick let out a low grumble and nuzzled into my neck, "Why are you always in a hurry to leave me?" I gently pushed him away, "I am really tired these days. I have to be up early for work." "You don't need to go to the research centre today. Fashion week is coming up. You will accompany me this year. Come with me in the morning to pick a dress," Edrick said softly. I frowned, "What would I even do there?" Edrick's lips curled into a smirk, "You will watch the downfall of your husband." Fear gripped me as I realised Edrick's plan was going to be ruined because of me. Wh
I felt my heart thumping against my chest. Standing in front of Edrick, guilt washed over me at the thought of stealing the documents he had hidden away. I fidgeted with my hands and whispered, "Aaron was insisting I go back to him." I couldn’t reveal our entire conversation to Edrick. I needed Aaron's help to uncover the truth about my mother's killer. Edrick's face darkened as he stepped closer to me, his eyes burning with anger, "That bastard has got some nerve. Why didn’t you slap him across the face? Do you still love him even after he sold you to me? Elaira, I expected better from you." My chest tightened with sorrow and humiliation. Edrick and Aaron just saw me as nothing more than a cheap item, something to be used however they pleased. I swallowed the lump forming in my throat and met Edrick's gaze, "Even if you do only see me as a product, I am a human being and I refused Aaron." The rage in Edrick's eyes diminished and he looked at me softly for a moment before he
"The police weren’t able to retrieve the CCTV footage. Don’t you think that someone powerful was behind the accident?" Aaron said sharply. "We were informed that the CCTV was broken....they couldn’t locate the car or the driver," I murmured, my voice shaking. Aaron said coldly, "They lied as they were bribed." My heart skipped a beat, "What do you mean?" Aaron's lips curled into a smirk, "I have the footage." I froze, "What? You...you have it?" Aaron nodded, "I know who was behind the accident of your mother." A cold shiver ran down my spine, "Tell me, please, I beg you," I pleaded, my voice trembling. "I'll give it to you. But only if you bring me the documents. I have no idea where father hid them. Even after planting a hidden camera in his office, I couldn’t even get a sniff of the documents," Aaron said wickedly. My head was spinning and I couldn’t think straight. I would do anything to know who was the culprit behind my mother's death, but what guarantee did I
Elaira's POV "You have to pay for this bitch," Aaron shot me a murderous gaze, his face contorted with rage as he started crawling towards the door hissing in pain. Edrick stepped forward and looked down on Aaron as if he were something pitiful, "You look no better than a dog. Then again, a dog might be better than you. They don’t bite the hand that feeds them." "Call me a dog or whatever you want. Now that I am the CEO of 'Bennet Fashion' even you are no match for me," Aaron laughed like a madman. "I challenge you, you will not be able to hold the CEO position for long," Edrick said chillingly and shut the door in Aaron's face. I turned to Edrick and asked him anxiously, "How can you give up your company to him? You didn’t have to go this far for me." Edrick's expression softened slightly, but his lips curled into a mischievous smile, "Are you feeling sorry for me? Then you should compensate me." "What can I do for you?" I genuinely asked as I was really touched by hi
Elaira's POV My face burnt with shame as the video showed how eagerly I sucked Edrick's cock sitting between his legs in his office. "Look at you crawling on your knees and sucking your father-in-law's dick like a whore, don’t you have any shame, Elaira?" Eliza sneered as she looked at me like I was nothing but filth. "You have no idea how despicable this slut really is, Eliza. She would not even let me get a taste, always acting all pure and innocent. But here she is selling her body to her father-in-law for a few benefits," Aaron spat venomously, his eyes filled with contempt. The wounds Aaron inflicted on me had not healed yet and here he was stabbing my heart once more when I thought he couldn’t hurt me anymore than he already had. But I was not going to take his bullshit like some weak woman. I snatched the phone from Aaron's grip and hurled it to the floor, and it shattered with a loud bang. "You bitch," Aaron snarled, "Do you think you can erase your nasty deeds b
