While he was preparing to make a move on me for the third time, I rose from my bed and made my way to the shower. “Do you want to join me inside?” I tried to tempt him while squeezing my breast before his eyes.
“It’s not a good idea, Selena. Go ahead and wash, then I’ll take you home.”
I responded by arching my brows because when I focused my gaze on his manhood, it was growing bigger. Before I knew it, we were having sex in the bathroom once again. It was just a quickie. Nevertheless, the satisfaction it gave to both of us was great.
Two hours before midnight, we departed the hotel and went home. We never talked much inside the car, but when we happened to pass by a coffee shop, I told him to pull over. “Go and get me a Grande of their macchiato,” I ordered him to buy me a coffee.
“Alright,” he agreed without asking further.
Being my bodyguard, he has a card for our expenses such as gas or coffee, and snacks. When he returned with my coffee, I smiled at him. “Thank you,’ I said to him. “Holy shit!” I put down my drink and exclaimed at the handsome man who used my car as a mirror.
“Why? Do you find him attractive?” Lee asked curiously. “Just a gentle reminder Selena that I am a possessive guy. An entirely possessive one,” he added.
I looked at him with disgust! “Is that a threat, Lee? Just because I had sex with you doesn’t mean that I belong to you already,” I reminded him.
“It’s not a threat, Selena. I’m just telling you that you are mine now, and I have to protect what is mine,” he continued before starting the engine, and this time, he drove too fast.
“You’re funny, and you know that, right? We are no longer in the fifteenth century, sir, that you have to act like that,” I reminded him.
“If you want me to be a criminal, then suit yourself. You can smile at anyone,” he mentioned.
“Impossible!” I just gazed at Lee for several minutes and waited for him to smile or admit he was joking when he said he would kill someone for being interested in me. “Are you making fun of me right now?”
“Not,” he affirmed.
I should be worried about his violent nature, but I decided to correct his belief instead of scolding him. “I am not your property,” I told him.
“Sooner or later, you will be completely mine, Selena. Whether you like it or not,” he added.
I pretended to shiver in fear and said, “That’s scary! Anyway, it’s far from happening. That dream of yours will never happen. In case you have forgotten, I am engaged with someone else.” For a moment, Lee was silent, and I believed he was considering his option.
“What if you will become pregnant?”
“Hmm, if it will happen, I am sure the wedding will be cancelled. Still, we have no future together.”
“Why?”
“Because you are you,” I answered.
“What do you mean by that?”
“My father will not let me marry you, and if worse comes to worst, he will bring me to a clinic for an abortion,” I informed him about the horrible truth.
“What will you do if he would suggest such a thing?”
“I still have to consider my options, Lee. One thing is sure, I don’t want to live as a poor woman,” I confessed.
“When you tried to elope that night, you were prepared to take the risk, weren’t you?”
“I was reckless that time. Do you know that as soon as I left home, my father froze all of my accounts? Look, I’m still working on my emergency fund right now, and it’s tough.”
“What about your trust fund?”
I frowned upon hearing him questioned me about the trust fund. Should I tell him the truth that there’s no trust fund for my account? That everything belonged to my father, and once I would cut our ties, I would be dirt poor and probably live in the gutter. “There’s no such thing on my account,” I admitted the truth.
“But your family is rich!” He exclaimed.
“My father is rich, Lee, but I am not rich, technically. I used to have access to everything, but after someone betrayed me with a huge amount, he was cautious when it comes to our finances.”
“What about your income from the business?”
“Well, that’s the only thing I have under my name which he couldn’t touch no matter what. However, I have grand plans for my business, and I’m saving for expansion.”
“I wish I could help you,” he mentioned.
“Thank you. I appreciate your thoughts to help me with my finances. So, going back to my main problem, I wished you would make some progress soon.”
“I’m almost there. I think your father has considered marrying you into Vera Group,” he stated.
“Why?”
“Here,” he gave me the newspaper with Richard Vera’s face on the headline.
He just announced he would be married soon, and the woman was rumoured to be in her mid-twenties. There was nothing much about the woman, but the man’s statement was vague enough. However, she couldn’t risk being married to an older man. “We should meet him as soon as possible,” I said.
“I will arrange it, Selena,” he promised.
I bit my bottom lip while considering my other options, and I believed I had to expedite the process of getting pregnant or being involved in a scandal. “Sleep with me tonight,” I announced all of a sudden.
“We just did it,” he complained.
“Make me pregnant,” I ordered out of desperation.
I was taken aback by the property where he took me after the wedding. From the exterior, this property seemed to be luxurious. It was constructed of grey brickwork and had white cedarwood ornamentation. Tall, circular windows allowed plenty of natural light to enter the residence, and they have been strategically placed throughout the structure in a reasonably symmetrical design. The property was furnished with a standard kitchen and three bathrooms, a large living room, two bedrooms, a small dining area, a library, and an oversized garage with plenty of parking spaces. The structure has a rectangular form to it, and beautifully landscaped grounds completely encircled it. A large number of smaller windows would let plenty of natural light enter the rooms below the roof. Besides the home itself, there was paved land around it with numerous party areas, such as a luxury grill and a campfire. I was amazed at the design, but it was expected for Liam to own something gorgeous. “Vera buil
The majority of the female guests were taken aback by the edginess of my wedding dress, but the majority of the male attendees were drawn to my cleavages. I shook my head in surprise when I realised that even married guys were staring. When a marching song began to play in the background, my father appeared behind me, and the two of us went together toward the red carpet that had been spread out on the ground. Over the years, he practiced hypocrisy, and he successfully convinced everyone that we were on good terms. “You should get an award for being the finest actor in the world, Daddy,” I said with my teeth gritted, and when I turned to look at him, he grinned at me. “It will be over soon,” he whispered back as if his statement would make a difference. I was so preoccupied with my predicament that I completely missed the presence of the guy waiting for me at the altar. I looked around for my groom, but I couldn’t seem to locate him anywhere. “Can you tell me where Robert is?” “T
The skyline was dotted with towering buildings, many constructed within the previous ten years or less. The city was seeing unprecedented growth in employment, which has received a great deal of attention. Several distinct cultures have left their imprints on education and the personality of the city as a whole. What was once a city of little variety has evolved into a fusion of everything. The sense of belonging to a heterogeneous society has made its imprint. One may choose from hundreds of clubs, theme restaurants, and diners. Those looking for something different could go sightseeing, touring the city, doing aerobics, or visiting one of the numerous other recreational places. “My parents can be talkative sometimes,” he suddenly said while he turned left in the next corner. “Your parents? Wait, are you saying that we are going to dine with them?” “Yes. We are heading towards one of your restaurants,” he said. I slapped his arm to question his motive, but he just ignored it. Th
Robert remained quiet and puckered his lips in response, and I frowned at him! Was he under the impression that he could intimidate me with a severe look on his face? He has to rethink his position! I stepped away as he walked towards me as if he was going to kiss me! As soon as he got close enough to kiss me, I ran upstairs like a coward and didn’t look back. An hour later, I went downstairs to talk to my father, who had just gotten home. It was up to me to persuade him that my marriage to Robert would be a complete catastrophe. The bodyguard stayed in the shadows but kept a close eye on me at all times. “Daddy, can we talk?” “Can you tell me what it is this time?” He inquired in a severe tone that made my palms shiver in terror every time he spoke. “I don’t get along with Robert, Daddy.” “You’re not required to do so. Just get married to him and let him save you from total humiliation! Your future is safe in Robert’s capable hands!” He said it in a matter-of-fact tone, which I
When Robert stared at me for a second, I thought he would rebut my accusation, but he remained staring at me, and it was uncomfortable. When he remained silent and just stared, I arched my brows at him and asked, “Are you not going to say anything?” “You used to like me when we were younger,” he said, implying that I had a crush on him in the past. I thought I would die of annoyance when he mentioned the ‘crush thing’ from the past. “It’s all in the past, Robert. While it is true that you are still good-looking, I don’t think I can survive living with you. You smelled like a dead person!” “Having body odour is normal, isn’t it?” “Oh, my God! Here we go again,” I let out a sigh of exasperation. When he tried to come closer to me, I yelled and turned around. I hurried towards the door, my hand covering my lips with the other hand. He had feet that smelled like a dead animal, and I felt sick to my stomach! Could he get any more repulsive? “Selena, wait!” “Stay where you are, please
Robert was rendered speechless, but it didn't take him long to change his expression. In a split second, he stared daggers at me, and the way he looked at my neck, and I was worried he would strangle me to death. For a moment, I felt relieved that my father hired a new bodyguard who was probably lurking near us to save me anytime. "Are you looking for the bodyguard? I'm sorry to disappoint you, Selena, but he's not here now and wouldn't be able to save you. Do you understand what I am trying to tell you?" "Yes!" I replied, and without any warning, I ran towards the safety of my room. When I heard him call my name again, my hands shook in fear. When I looked behind my shoulders, I saw him move a little, and as he got closer to me, I became so nervous and almost peed on my clothes. I pointed my finger at him and warned him incessantly not to come closer, but he merely grinned as if there was something funny going on. "Stop where you are right now!" I shouted at him. "Selena, what's
