LOGINChapter 60 Revenge was sweet, doing it to his wife was sweeter. Olivia was numb by the time he was done with her, unable to fathom the level of ecstasy her husband had given her the privilege to run through. She gulped hard, legs still shaking as he amusedly reached a hand to her. She was laughing also, a mess, and a happy wife for the first time in a long time. He lifted her off her feet the moment she gave him leeway, pressing soft kisses all over her face as he carried her back into the house. “We’re supposed to leave.” She giggled. He kissed her again, soft and quick, “It can wait. Everything can wait.” ********** Marco nuked his mission. There was no point as he knew his boss—knowing her wrapped Alex Maldov already was, there was a high possibility of Olivia coming with them. So he resorted to simply bugging her phone, it was only a matter of time before the woman made a misstep only to get caught. He was protective of his b
Chapter 59 So he did. All he needed was an invitation to flick the switch. His countenance changed almost immediately, grabbing her by the bottom as he pressed her so close so she could feel his hardness. Olivia’s body was like a string being toyed by it’s player, responding to suavely to every touch. His breath was ragged, hair all tousled from her hands playing in it as they both grasp for a hold onto reality. They were crazed with hunger from staying away too long, Alex felt like he was going mad as he grabbed onto her thigh which he rested on his waist. It wasn’t enough. He wasn’t satisfied, now propping her whole body onto him, wrapping both hers around. She slung her arms over his neck as he reeled him in for a kiss, he deepened it to a point of leaving her breathless. “Now.” She crooned. He nipped her earlobe, “Patience my sweet, we’re outside.” “Since when do you care?” She frowned. He chuckled softly, “Like I said, you make me weak. G
Chapter 58 “I’ll be leaving soon.” He said, words almost stinging as they came out of his mouth, “I don’t know when I’ll be— “Don’t go.” She pleaded,still holding onto the hem of his shirt, “Don’t go, not without me at least. I can’t live another month in here. Emelda is great an all but I feel suffocated.” He sighed, “You know it’s not safe.” “I don’t care’ she countered, “I went into a bunker with you and I would do it again. I don’t care about my safety and neither should— “You know I can’t do that. You might hate me but your safety would always be at the top of my list. I’m sorry but you can’t come with me, not while we’re like this. Why would you want to be with a man who wants you for only your body? After all I forced you to marry me didn’t I? I’m a monster.” “Please.” Olivia’s voice cracked, “I don’t like this Alex. I don’t like what’s going on between us.” He shrugged, “In my defense, you started it.” “I know.” She finally bur
Chapter 57 “You can’t be serious!” She snapped, “Why wouldn’t he see me??” Marco shrugged, still striking her with an awkward sense of indignation, “He’s really— “Can you at least send him a message for me?” She pleaded, “Tell him to meet me at the garden.” Marco was reluctant to listen to his madam’s demands, after all he didn’t trust the woman. There was something going on, and unbeknownst to Olivia he was looking for the perfect opportunity to plant a bug in her nook right before they left. He stroked his nonexistent beard, pondering over Olivia’s request when an imaginary lightbulb lit up over his skull. It was the perfect plan, get his boss and his wife outside so he could successfully plant the bug in her room. So he nodded, “I’ll let him know.” Olivia couldn’t help but sense a whiff of malicious intent surrounding the guard. They were never close but he was never this standoffish with her, apart from the multiple run-ins and her foiled es
Chapter 56 She’d been avoiding him all week and he was starting to grow tired of it. She ignored him at lunch despite his best efforts to try and lighten the mood, she left the bouquet of flowers outside the window which he’d gotten for her as a form of peace offering, she wouldn’t let him even come near her before she fled like he was ridden with the plague. He hated himself for yelling but he was getting sick of her petulance. He was also starting to grow wary as she was now with her phone every given minute, his eyes narrowed Everytime she walked past him clutching it in hand. It was strange, almost like she was hiding something from him, and each passing moment Marco’s words grew more prevalent in his mind. He was a man who prioritized trust more than anything, and he didn’t enjoy the feeling of not trusting his wife. The family was to meet in a few days like they always do at the end of each year. He was starting to prepare as there was a lot he had
Chapter 55 Olivia was damn near convulsing by the time he was done with her. Like he’d won a prize, Alex wiped his mouth with a napkin and walked off with Marco who had arrived just in time. They had a lot to do, from reclaiming his title to making a few threats. He shrugged off a certain unease he felt which annoyed him. This didn’t go unnoticed by Marco who joined him in the study, “is it?” Alex frowned. He was known to have an undeniable gut feeling, one which has gotten him out of death’s grasp literally. This had never proven him wrong—until now, “It’s not important.” Marco frowned, “You’ve got the shingles boss. It means someone’s betraying— “Who Marco?” Alex frowned even deeper, “The guards swore an omertà. They know I’ll cut their tongues out if they rat out this location, and who else do you think is gonna betray me? Certainly not Emelda. She knows better than to do that, especially when her son is present.” Marco remained mute, h
Chapter Twenty The cafe inside was cozy and intimate, with exposed brick walls, polished marble floors and an array of plush armchairs scattered around. The walls, adorned with an eclectic collection of artwork, from vintage posters to paintings from local artists. It was a whimsy place
Chapter Eighteen Their eyes locked in a fierce stare, each one daring the other to blink like some sort of childish contest. Every muscle in Alex’s body seemed to spring into action, as their warmth coiled for a moment. He sensed the tension, as they stood there it built up, like
Chapter Nineteen Marco knocked on the door to the master bedroom two hours later. Olivia opened it to see her husband’s henchman all fully dressed, like her bodyguard. He cleaned up nicely, she noticed, more refined from the scruffy look she was used to. “Yes??” “I’ll
Chapter Sixteen Olivia screamed at the top of her lungs on the shot that was fired seeing Harold’s bleeding body from under the table. The vases, the glass window, and the China on the table, were all hit and sputtering all over the ground. She cried out for her father, prayed to an imaginar
