Just like Anna had expected, her husband didn’t return home after getting discharged from the hospital. And she was a little bit wrong in her guess. She thought that Caspian would be away from home for at most two days and he would return and they might settle their differences. But no, her husband has been away for a good one week and three days without any word from him. She’s tried calling him a few times. She called him and dropped text messages for the first five days but after she received no single reply, she decided to let him be.She’s been alone at most times in the penthouse and each passing day since his absence was like a drop of acid, slowly eating away at Anna’s resolve. “Good puppies eat quickly, I’m tired.” Anna rubbed the head of her puppy as she fed it peanuts from her palm. Pookie wiggled its tail and continued eating from her hand. It was almost bedtime already and since she was too tired to feed the puppy real food, she decided to give it snacks. “Faster, Poo
Caspian stormed toward her, his footsteps angry and demanding, his eyes burning in anger, fixated on her. “You got a good spot in the Cooper corporation, you defeated your goddamn ex and stepsister yourself, and you fucking got married to me for revenge, so I assumed that you have some fucking awareness of the world around you,” he began. “But you don’t. So stop with the fucking act, Anna. It’s repulsive.”Her nails dug tiny crescents into her palms as she recognized the judgemental tone that he and everyone used to ridicule her in the past. The same one he always passed snicker comments with. The same tone that Jason had used to belittle her in the past when he called her good for nothing and unlikable. “And what does that mean? You know nothing about me.”“It means that you're still the Boring. Stupid. Dumb. Anna who everyone thinks you are. You think you’re putting on a great mask by pretending to be a tough girl?” He leaned further to her. “All I see is a scared little girl who c
Their kissing intensified and before Anna knew it, she was backed on the nearby wall, Caspian’s head on both sides of her head as he kissed her senselessly. Kisses with Caspian were anything but slow. Their kisses were always intense and with anger added to it, Anna could feel their teeth grinding together. They ignored the bites on each other’s lips and kept on with their kiss like it was their last. As if their closeness weren’t enough, Caspian grabbed her hair and tilted her head to the side, deepening the kiss. The pain from the grab shot from her head straight to her core. She tried to keep up with his fast pace, kissing him with the same intensity but not enough to dominate the kiss. Her breath became fast and heavy, her heart thumping in her chest fast and loud. Anna took in a sharp intake of breath when he let go of her lips. Just when she thought it was over, his lips descended on her neck, sucking and biting on the sensitive flesh. She let out a moan, her body trembling s
He stepped in front of her. “What is it you were saying?” His thumb parted her lips and his middle finger drove into her mouth. It was like testing the waters. “I told you that this mouth of yours could be put to better use.”His finger went deeper into her mouth. “You deserve to be punished, don’t you?”“I hate you,” she spat once he retrieved his fingers from her mouth. “I know you do. Maybe that’s why you’re dripping wet for me, hmm?”Pinpricks of fear laced with arousal burned hotter as he undid his belt and pants. The floor dug into her skin, her breath coming in harsh rasps as his cock sprung out, angry and hard. She wondered how it got into her the first time and a hit of fear washed over her. Before she could think of retreating backward, Caspian’s hand got hold of her hair, dragging her forward. “Open your mouth.”She shook her head, her eyes staring at his rock-hard cock that threatened to tear through her.His blue eyes like flames blazed hotter and his hand closed around
The first rays of dawn crept into the room the next morning. Anna stirred, her eyelids fluttering open to stare at the high white ceiling above her head. A lazy groan escaped her lips as she sat up on the bed, her hair falling at each side of her face as she looked around the unfamiliar room. She gasped. “The fuck?” She looked at the space next to her and then around the room in search of the man who’d fallen asleep next to her the previous night. Finding no trace of him anywhere, she threw the covers off her and hurriedly put on her pajamas that lay limply on the floor. “Damnit, Anna, what did you do?” She shook her head as if to dismiss the memories of the previous night. It was unbelievable that they went from yelling at each other in anger to having sex, hot angry sex. He’d even made her….No! She covered her face in embarrassment. How on earth was she going to continue living with such a memory playing in her head? It was depressing and for all she cared, it was Caspian’s faul
“You had what? Are you hurt?” Caspian’s hands fell on his mother’s shoulder and he checked through her body for any trace of injury. “I’m alright, son. You know your father wouldn’t dare touch me.”The woman peeled his hands from her body and intended to walk further into the house but before she could take more than a few steps, Anna rushed in front of her, stopping her in her tracks. “Th…the thing is that, the room isn’t free right now, Mother.” She didn’t know how to tell the women that Caspian and herself never shared a room. She would scream bloody murder. Luckily, Caspian stepped forward to help her. “I’ll find somewhere else for you to stay. Come.”Mrs Riordan shook her head. “Why are you going to go through the trouble of finding somewhere else when there is a good room here? Don’t tell me you don’t want me around?”“You know that’s not the case. Here won’t be that comfortable for you.”“I don’t mind. Besides, I’m here to take care of you both. Get out of my way, I’ll take
“What do you mean?” Mrs. Riordan’s face fell. “You don’t have to be shy, you know. I mean, I have a feeling it’s going to happen soon. Look at all those hickeys on her body. You can’t tell me a baby isn’t going to…”“Mother.”“What? I’m only telling the truth.”Caspian looked away, looking for ways to avoid the topic about babies with his mother. As if hearing his pleas, the door of the room pushed open and Anna walked in carrying sandwiches and a cup of coffee in a tray. She walked to their side and placed the tray on the bedside table which Caspian brought before the woman. “Have something to eat first, mother. I’ll be right back.” He passed Anna a last look and made his way out of the room, heading back into his. Once he left, Anna turned, intending to run away from the prying eyes of the woman but who was she kidding? There was no way the woman would let her leave. She called on hers “Anna, where are you going? You should keep me company for a while.”“Of course. I wasn’t going
Anna’s fist clenched as she resisted the urge to turn around and pull the hair of Billy and give her a piece of her fist. How dare she say those words to her without remorse. That Caspian no longer wanted her? Only the thought alone was enough to have her moving to her bed and kicking on the frame severally until her legs hurt. She groaned. Just a few words with Billy and it already ruined her mood. The girl really was a joyous killer. Letting out a frustrated sigh, she made her way out of the room, stopping in her tracks when she found Billy in front of Caspian’s room, perhaps about to go in. Before she could, Anna stormed toward her and grabbed her by the sting of her flimsy peach dress. She turned.“You don’t take lessons, do you?” She kept her voice down so their conversation didn’t leak to the other side. “Billy, this is rude.”“Get your hands off.” She shrugged her hands off her. “You don’t have to act like my mother or try to scold me.”“Since she’s not doing a good job, I sho
