MasukElaira's POV
Aaron didn’t come back for the rest of the night. Not that I expected him to come. Aaron's words were still echoing in my ears. Did he pretend to like me only to get the right of the medicine? I never, in my wildest dreams, thought that Edrick could turn out to be Aaron's father. What kind of person would send his wife to his father's bed! The mere thought of it made my stomach churn. I couldn't believe I chose such a disgusting person as my life partner and trusted him so much. What will happen to me now? I just want to run from this place as far as I could. But Aaron will officially take over my mother's company tomorrow. She entrusted it to me before her death. I can't let Aaron destroy it at any cost! I need to get a grip on my twirling emotions and come up with something to retrieve it. But what can I even do now? Suddenly a solution popped up in my mind. I must have gone mad after getting so much shock in a day to think to approach Edrick. But only Edrick can help me in this situation. At least he has made it clear to me that he only wants my body and didn't fool me like Aaron! Edrick just challenged me yesterday that I would have to crawl back to him, and here I am, thinking about going to him when not even a day has passed! How can fate be so cruel to me? This is not the time to think about my self-respect. If Aaron can sell me to his father, I can do the same! To save my mother's company, if I have to become Edrick's mistress again, I will do that. "Ma'am, we have reached to Mr. Edrick's office." Gazing at the imposing skyscraper building in front of me, my heart started racing uncontrollably. "Ma'am, should I wait here?" I looked back at the family driver listening to his question. "No, you can go," I entered Edrick's company building after replying to the driver. Oh god! How should I face Edrick? I came here on impulse but I am feeling the urge to escape from here right away. It’s already late in the morning. I don't know when I fell asleep while crying last night. When I got up, everyone had already gone to work. What is the guarantee that Edrick will agree to help me? What if he insults me again and drives me away? I am in a desperate situation right now and running out of time, regardless of how much humiliated I have to be, I know I have no choice. "Excuse me, miss. Is Mr Edrick present in his office?" I asked the receptionist. "Yes, he is. Do you have an appointment with him?" "No, but I need to meet with him." "Sorry, ma'am, you can't meet with him without an appointment," the receptionist politely declined. I clutched my dress nervously hearing the receptionist's response. "Can you call him and tell him that I have come to meet him?" "I do not have the authority to do this. Next time come after making an appointment," the receptionist's voice became stern. "Please tell him that his daughter-in-law has come to see him," finding no way, I just blabbered what came to my mind. She must think that I am weird. The receptionist stared at me strangely and dialled the telephone, "Sir, a lady says she is your daughter-in-law and has come to meet you." ............. "Yes, sir. I will send her right away." I couldn’t hear what Edrick said over the phone but I suppose that he has agreed to meet me. "Please forgive me, ma'am. I didn’t know your identity. Mr.Edrick's office is on the fiftieth floor. I will lead you to his office if you want," the receptionist politely bowed and responded. "No, thanks. I can go myself," I turned around and stepped into the lift while fidgeting my hands out of fear. I knocked on the door of Edrick's room anxiously. "Come in," I clasped my chest with my hands to contain the wild beating of my heart after hearing Edrick's voice and walked inside the room. "What pleasure do I owe that my daughter-in-law, who resents me so much and prays for my death, has come to see me?" Edrick raised his eyebrow and looked at me mockingly as he emphasized the word daughter-in-law. "I... I need your help to g..et back my mother's research center," I wanted nothing but the ground to open up and swallow me whole as I shamelessly muttered those words. "Didn’t you give it to your husband on your own will? How can I help you to get it back?" Edrick asked nonchalantly as he tossed his back onto the chair with a carefree gesture. "I am ready to do anything to get it back," I looked him directly into his eyes and said confidently ignoring the burning sensation growing in my cheeks. "Anything you say? Hmmm, I can’t find something that you can do for me. Can you please point out a particular work that you can do for me?" Edrick started tapping his fingers on the table as if he was bored. "Yo...u offered me to become y..our m..istress again. I am willing to do it," I struggled to bring the embarrassing words out of my throat. "Unbelievable! My virtuous daughter-in-law wants to become my mistress! I must be dreaming!" Watching Edrick pretending to be all surprised, my hands started to itch to lift the chair in front of me and crush it on his head. "I am truly willing to do every imaginable thing you will tell me to do," I restlessly said. "You are desperate, aren't you? But the shareholder's meeting will start just after one hour. I need to see how you will serve me if I have to do such a big deal with you. I need to check the product before I buy it, right?" Edrick chuckled. "What do I have to do?" I asked uneasily. "Suck my d**k," the playful expression on his face faded as he spoke with an intimidating tone. "What!" A gasp escaped my mouth as I instinctively reached for the chair to steady myself. "If you don’t act upon my command in one minute, think that the deal is off", Edrick said harshly. Should I just flee through the door? Why is the clock ticking so fast? I hastened towards Edrick and sat between his legs as fear, shame and anger caused my whole body to shake frantically. I am feeling as if I have become a street prostitute! I unbuckled his pants and started to slide down the zipper with my trembling hand. It's fine. I have done it before, let's just get over with this. "If you keep acting like I am going to rape you, get the hell out of here," Edrick sneered with contempt. I gulped down hard and pulled down Edrick's boxers releasing his enormous c**k in the air. Getting freed, his thick, swollen member sprung into the sky and slapped my face, signalling me to pleasure it through my mouth. I clutched the once familiar rod with both of my hands but couldn’t bring my lips further to take the length in. Out of nowhere, Edrick grabbed a fistful of my hair and shoved my mouth inside his crotch making me scream out of shock. I started struggling to catch my breath as the gigantic rod began to rock inside my mouth without warning. I inhaled deeply as Edrick took his d***k out for a moment, but he plunged it into my mouth the next second, making me choke severely. Grabbing my chin, he yanked my head up and I could see the impatience and lust in his eyes. "F**k, are you here to torment me? Suck my d**k fast and keep your eyes up while you do the immoral act so that you can properly see who you belong to," Edrick gnashed his teeth and said hoarsely. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, "Father, can I come in?" My mind became completely blank hearing Aaron's unexpected voice.Elaira's POV "You bastard, I warned you never to touch her again. How dare you lay your hands on what's mine? Just die today, you worthless piece of shit," Edrick fumed in rage as he grabbed Aaron's tie, twisted it around his neck, pulling him forward with brutal force. Aaron staggered and choked for air as Edrick tightened his hold. Edrick's bloodshot eyes sent a shiver down my spine, my heart hammering wildly against my ribs. His frenzied gaze terrified me, and every instinct screamed at me to run. When he lunged forward again, I reacted without thinking and stepped between him and Aaron. His fist was already swinging. Then our eyes locked and he froze. His hand slowly curled into a fist, knuckles turning white as he fought to control himself, "While I have been holding myself back going crazy inside watching you cozy up to him just because you told me to trust you and you repay me by sleeping with this bastard behind my back." I urgently tried to explain myself, "I
Elaira's POV "Don’t make me laugh. Edrick has been running the company for years and is the one who has brought it to its current standing. Looks like stealing others' things and boasting about them is a habit of yours, just like you did with my mother's company," I scoffed, but managed to put on a gentle smile on my face to fool the people eagerly watching. Aaron's face flushed as he jerked my hand away, "I only crushed all the bugs on my way to the top. Don’t whine just because you were too weak to stand against me. Count yourself lucky, after you cheated on me with my father, I am still generous enough to let you stay as my wife, even though you have been nothing but a nuisance until now. So play the role of the perfect wife I tell you to, and I will let you enjoy a luxurious life." As he stepped towards the stage, I grabbed his arm and pulled him into a hug. The crowd erupted in cheers. "As expected of a newlywed couple." "My gosh! They can't bear to separate from e
I looked up at Edrick with fear in my eyes, my voice shaking, "After what he did to me, I would never get back with him. Never." Edrick stepped forward and grabbed my chin tilting my face to meet his eyes. The pain and betrayal flashed in his eyes hit me like a blow and my heart was a mess, "Then why? Why did you steal the documents from my hidden safe and give them to him?" My thoughts scattered, spinning out of control as guilt consumed me, making my brain foggy. I could barely breathe, let alone speak, but somehow the words stumbled out, "I am... sorry." It sounded weak and meaningless, even to me. Edrick's expression twisted as if my words only fueled his rage. He chuckled bitterly, "Hah! You are sorry?" His bloodshot eyes burned into me as he snarled, "What did I even expect from you? You have always backstabbed me. You would rather go crawling back to your cheater and pathetic husband than be with me." My heart clenched with sadness. This cruel man had devasted me thr
"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
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
Elaira's POV "Come in," Edrick permitted with a sinister grin on his face as he pulled me onto his lap tightening his grip around my waist and crushed his mouth against mine ignoring my desperate attempts to push him away. "Father, about the meeting..," my heart almost leapt out of my chest as o
Edrick's POV "Mr Edrick Bennet, were you too busy fucking your daughter-in-law that you were not even opening the door?" Aaron hissed. This bastard is surely going to die by my hands today. I have gone very easy on him so far. He dares to barge into my room at midnight and interrupt my sweet tim
Elaira's POV My whole body aches as Edrick ravished me like an animal in heat the whole night. Yesterday my heart almost stopped when we nearly got discovered by everyone in the house. I can't let Edrick's madness continue for long, I can't even imagine the shame and humiliation I will have to fa
