Chapter Five
Rain The moment he rolled off me, not just my heart, but my entire body screamed in frustration, the weight of him gone too soon. My thighs trembled, wet with the evidence of everything he’d done to me—everything he’d started but hadn’t finished. My chest heaved, my breath coming in sharp gasps as I tried to make sense of it. Two orgasms. Two. He did that to me with so much precision and calculation that I almost forgot he was blind. And just when I thought I’d finally feel all of him inside me, and get that third orgasm, the intercom had rung, breaking the intensity of the moment. “Take a bath and get dressed,” he said, his voice calm, as if he hadn’t just been about to ruin me completely, as if he hadn’t chase away every resentment and doubt I had about this union away with his magical fingers. I blinked up at him, my lips parting in disbelief. He can’t just leave me like this? Spent… needy, and wanting more of him. But he just want me to take a bath? Dress up? Who the hell was even on the other end of that call for him to just cut this off just like that? My hands curled into the sheets as I watched him, his pale eyes focused, his jaw tight with control. It irritated me, the way he could shut it all off so easily, like he hadn’t been seconds away from claiming me in every way I needed to be claimed. My body was still trembling, still needy, and it infuriated me that he could ignore it so effortlessly. Before I could stop myself, I reached out and grabbed his wrist. “No.” The word left my lips breathlessly, a demand, a plea. I pulled him back down, and the movement brought his cock against my thigh. My breath hitched sharply. Fuck, I needed that inside of me so bad. That cock. When he pulled down his shorts. I’d never forget it, not in this lifetime. The way it looked—thick shaft, impossibly huge, the pink tip glistening with precum that made me wetter just thinking about it. My thighs clenched at the memory, and a soft whimper escaped me. My body arched slightly, pressing against him, begging without words, hoping he’d understand my silent pleas. He looked at me then, those pale eyes like a storm I couldn’t predict, holding secrets I couldn’t unravel. His lips curved into the faintest, most infuriating smile, and I swore it was mocking me. But needy me shook it off and whispered. “I…I don’t want to stop yet ,” I could hear my voice trembling with desperation I didn’t even try to hide. My hands slid over his chest, tracing the hard lines of muscle, trying to anchor him to me. I needed him, damn it. The ache between my legs was unbearable, the kind of ache only he could soothe. But instead of giving in, he reached for my wrist and gently pulled my hand off him. I watched, stunned, as he set it aside like I wasn’t burning up for him. “Go take a bath,” he said again, his tone so casual, like I hadn’t just begged him with my body. I stared at him, disbelief flooding me. My heart pounded in protest as he stood, bending down to pick up his shorts from the floor. His back muscles flexed with the movement, and my eyes followed the trail of his lean strength as he slid into the shorts effortlessly. He turned toward the door, not even sparing me another glance as he walked out. “You’ve got a few minutes,” he said without looking back, the sound of the door closing behind him slicing through me like a cruel reminder of what I’d just lost. I lay there for some minute, my body still pulsing from the aftermath of the intense pleasure, and still desperate for more. My heart pounded with frustration and an ache I couldn’t explain. The nerve of him—to pull away like that, to leave me on the edge after everything we’d done. And yet, as infuriated as I was, I hated myself even more for wanting him back. I finally made my way into the bathroom, hoping the warm water would wash away the chaos in my head, but it did nothing of the sort. Instead, every drop felt like a reminder, igniting memories I wanted to suppress. The way his touch and smell still swirled around me, his lips, his teeth—how he grazed against me in ways that made me burn with need. I shouldn’t be thinking about this. About him. I took a quick bath and wrapped a towel around myself, forcing the thoughts away. I dried my hair, and stepped into the room. I found the closet which stood wide open, reminding me of his instructions. He said he left a dress for me. My fingers brushed against the fabric before I even saw it, and the moment I pulled it into view, my stomach churned. This wasn’t a dress—it was some contraption designed to expose, to suffocate. Holding it up, I could barely understand how it was meant to be worn. I slipped it on, and the realization hit me. The neckline dropped too low, leaving half my chest exposed. The tightness around my waist and hips left no room for breath. I looked in the mirror, feeling raw and exposed in every possible way. How did he expect me to wear a dress like this? There was no way I could wear this. I ripped it off my body, my hands trembling as I rummaged through my own bags. They were already in the closet, though I had no idea how they got there. The last time I saw them was hours ago, taken by Becky before the wedding chaos began. My fingers finally found the crimson dress I’d packed for Christmas which was in few days. It wasn’t anything special—just a simple, modest piece—but right now, it felt like a savior. I slipped it on, paired it with black heels, and pulled my hair back into a bun. My hands shook as I opened the door and froze. Enzo stood there, waiting, dressed sharply in a royal blue shirt and black pants. The sunglasses obscured his eyes, but there was no missing the confidence in his stance. He looked just so perfect, straight out of my fantasies, but there were lot of differences, from his eyes down to his cold demeanor. “Let’s go,” he said calmly, extending a hand toward me. “They’re waiting.” They? My stomach sank. Who was “they”? Who could he be talking about? He looked like he was all alone aside from the workers with him at the party and the maids I saw after I came to the house, who could we be meeting? “Take my hand,” he said again, more firmly this time, jolting me out of my thoughts. Reluctantly, I placed my hand in his. His grip was so sure, guiding me down the stairs like I was the one who couldn’t see. Each step made my pulse race even faster, my thoughts spiraling, almost out of control. I took a quick glance at him, confusion gnawing at me. How could someone who was blind exude so much control? Confidence? Power? And Dominance? The power and authority in his voice when he speaks always leaves no room for arguments. At the bottom of the stairs, a sharp voice sliced through the air. “How could you get married without telling us, Enzo?” A woman stormed toward us, her face furrowed. From her scattered gray hairs and face, I could tell she was middle aged, even with the way she dressed like a teenage girl. A man followed behind her, his arm draped possessively around a young lady’s waist. The grip on my hand tightened, and I glanced at Enzo. His jaw was rigid, his face a mask of tension. Right there, I knew this wasn’t going to be pleasant, Enzo didn’t look like he wanted to be there, and he was taking it out on me. My fingers were hurting from his forceful grip. The woman reached us, ignoring me entirely as she grabbed Enzo’s other hand, pulling him away. “You planned an entire wedding, excluded your family, and invited us for a dinner after the fact? Do we look like we’re after your food?” Family. The word rattled in my brain. So, these were his people? His family? I had assumed he had none—no one was at the wedding, no one was by his side except for those men. But now, I understood. His family weren’t even aware that he was getting married. “What kind of man are you?” the woman demanded, her voice rising. “A man who knows exactly what he’s doing,” Enzo replied coldly. His head tilted toward her. “Mom, this isn’t a big deal. I wanted it quiet.” Mom. My breath hitched. He hadn’t even told his own mother? What kind of a man is he? Her gaze finally shifted to me, and I wished it hadn’t. Disdain dripped from every word as she looked me at me with disgust visible in her eyes. “And this is who you chose? This… girl?” She gazed at me from head to toe, her gaze pinning me in place. “This?” She asked again, shaking her head. I swallowed hard, feeling the weight of her scorn wash over me. My knees felt weak, but I stood still, letting the humiliation settle like a heavy fog around me. I’d been through worse with my stepmother and stepsister, but this felt more painful. My mother-in-law think I wasn’t good enough for his son, and his son sees me as a woman who was just in his life temporarily, just to bear his child. “Rose the maid would’ve been a better option,” the other woman chimed in. Enzo’s voice cut through the room like a whip and I froze. “You will not speak about my wife like that. Ever.” The air raised with tension, Enzo’s breath became really loud that my body shook every time he exhaled. Even his mother hesitated, her fingers trembling as she gestured for him to calm. “Relax, Enzo. But look at her. She doesn’t look like someone you’d choose. Not dressed like that. We all know your type of woman and how you love them to be dressed, but she…she is the exact opposite.” Enzo’s head snapped toward me, his lips curling slightly. I shuddered, it was as though he could see me. “How is she dressed? Isn’t she wearing a black lace Channel dress?” “No Enzo,” his mother sneered. “She’s in some cheap, no-brand red dress.” “Rain!” His voice boomed through the room, and I flinched. The next moment, he was in front of me. His hand tightly wrapped around my wrist, pulling me with a force that made me stumble. My protests died in my throat as he dragged me up the stairs, his steps quick and determined. He didn’t stop until we were inside the bedroom, slamming the door behind us with a sound that echoed in my chest. His grip never faltered as he spun me to face him, his hands pressing into my shoulders, the door rattled as he pinned me against it. His face was like a storm, anger radiating off him in waves that made me tremble. “How dare you,” he hissed sharply . “How dare you, Rain?” I knew I was in trouble. I should’ve just listened to him, should’ve forced myself to wear the dress, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. It was way too revealing for me. Tears stung my eyes as I clawed at his hands, trying to loosen his grip. It was useless. He was way too strong, and he didn’t look like he’d let me go anytime soon. The way his jaw clenched, his nails digging into my shoulder made my heart throb. “I told you to wear that dress, and you disobeyed me. How dare you defy me, Rain?” “I—I…” My voice faltered, my throat too tight to form coherent words. He leaned closer, the sheer force of his presence making the air around me feel heavy, as thought it’d suffocate me. “What did I say about you not doing what I ask?” He demanded. My throat felt tight, words caught somewhere between fear and desperation. “That… you’d punish me,” I whispered. His lips twisted into something cold and dangerous, making my skin prickle with fear. “That’s right. Until you learn to accept that I now own you, and have every right over you, you will keep getting punished. And now, you’re going to learn.” “Please, I’m sorry,” I stammered. “Sorry isn’t enough, wifey.” He stepped back slightly, his eyes—or what felt like them—boring into me. “I want you to take every single piece of clothing off your body right now!” I froze, my mind screaming for escape. “W-what?” “Take off your clothes,” he demanded and my trembling hands shot up to the zipper of my dress. Tears blurred my vision as I pulled it downChapter Fifty-oneRainThe elevator ride felt longer than usual, the kind of slow that made my nerves twitch. I tapped my fingers against my thigh, impatient, anxious, uneasy,,wondering if I was really going to find something—or if this whole idea was a waste of time. But if I didn’t at least try, the doubt would eat me alive.The moment I stepped out onto the ground floor, I realized I had no idea where the control room was. I wandered past the familiar halls, some security doors, even asked a janitor, but none of them could give me a straight answer, they were all too busy to give me an exact answer. I finally found a guard standing near the back hallway and asked him directly. After a short exchange and a bit of waiting, I was pointed in the right direction.The control room wasn’t what I expected—it was small, cramped, lit by the pale glow of several monitors. Two guards sat behind a desk, watching the screens with dull expressions like this was just another long, uneventful day.
Chapter FiftyRainI couldn’t understand anything.I just couldn’t get it.I didn’t invite Andrew to the dinner. I never said anything like that to him. I would never do that.Yes, I planned to invite Andrew. I considered telling him about the dinner and bringing him here—but after giving it deeper thought, after remembering everything he said and did to Enzo, I couldn’t bring myself to go through with it.It would have been an insult to Enzo. I knew that. And that was exactly why I didn’t invite Andrew.But then—why was he here? Who told him about this dinner? Who brought him here under the pretense that I invited him?I didn’t do that. I saw the way he insulted Enzo. I saw how badly Enzo had been affected by everything—his health, the doctor’s report, his father’s memorial. Enzo was already in a fragile place. It would’ve been a horrible mistake to bring Andrew here, and I knew that. I knew these things and it was the reason I didn’t tell Andrew about the diner, even after his reque
Chapter Forty-nineEnzoA joke.A prank.A play on words.That’s what it had to be. There was no way Rain would bring that man into my house. No way she would stoop so fucking low as to let a man like him walk through my doors after everything he did. Hell, she was there—she saw him talk to me like I was crazy, like I was beneath him. She saw the way he treated me like I was nothing.This had to be a joke.A cruel, expensive joke.“What did you just say?” I asked my brother, hoping—praying—he had it wrong. That there was some mistake. I trusted Rain. I knew she wouldn’t do something like this.“I said your wife’s lover is here,” Eduardo said again, that mocking laughter in his voice making my skin crawl with rage and disgust.“No… Rain wouldn’t…”“Good evening, everyone. I hope I’m not late.”That voice.That familiar, arrogant voice cut through the air like a blade and froze every part of me.My blood ran cold.Eduardo was right. That bastard was here.That smug marketing guy was in
Chapter Forty-eightRainEnzo leaned in, his chest brushing against my back, one hand gripping my waist, the other running slowly down my spine, making me shiver beneath his touch. His breath was hot against my ear when he spoke, low and rough and everything I’d been dying to hear. Everything I had waited days to hear again.“You feel that?” he whispered, pressing the length of his hardened cock between my wet folds, slow and teasing. “That’s how much I’ve missed you, wifey.”A whimper slipped from my lips, raw and uncontrollable.I tried to respond, but my voice caught in my throat when I felt him shift his hand, parting me, guiding himself slowly, so painfully slow, until I felt him press at my entrance.And then—he slid in.A soft cry tore from my lips, my fingers gripping the edge of the table, my knuckles turning white almost immediately. He filled me completely, inch by inch, like he was taking his time to reclaim every part of me he had missed. My walls stretched around him, de
Chapter Forty-sevenRainIt had been days, and Enzo still hadn’t stepped out of the inner room. The only time he’d spoken to me was when he asked the driver to take me to the company to get him something. Other than that? Silence. He stayed in there all day, doing nothing that could possibly help his condition. Instead, he was punishing himself—and that was only making things worse.But Enzo didn’t see it that way. He believed all of this was his fault. He thought he could’ve done something to prevent it, to change the outcome. He blamed himself for what happened, for the blindness, for the consequences. But none of this—none—was his fault. I wanted to tell him that, scream it if I had to. But he wouldn’t let me. He wouldn’t even give me the chance to speak.Enzo shut me out because he thought he had to handle it all on his own, and the more he pulled away, the more I feared he’d lose himself to the darkness completely.I took a deep breath, leaning against the wall as the warm shower
Chapter Forty-sixRain.Enzo will never regain his sight?Did the doctor just say… Enzo would never regain his sight?My the words rang in my ears relentlessly. My breath caught in my throat. I blinked multiple times, thinking maybe I’d heard wrong, maybe I was starting to imagining things. But the look on the doctor’s face said otherwise. It was Final. Certain. There was no room for hope.Enzo would never see again. Never. There was no guarantee.He would never look into my eyes, never see my face when I smiled or cried, never see the world he used to control with the sharpness of a glance. He would never be free from the darkness that had caged him. He would never be able to see the world again.And worst of all—he would never see me.He has never seen me before, and a part of me has held on to that hope that he would when he finally regains his sight, but now? Now, there was no hope. Now, the doctor said there wasn’t guarantee he would ever regain his sight. Enzo would never see m
Chapter Forty-FiveEnzoMom was always like this.She’d come in pretending she wanted to talk about something important, something reasonable and fragile, but before you knew it, her voice would be rising, throwing wild accusations like daggers across the room. Today was no different. She did today again. She came here talking about family business, about my responsibilities and appearances even though I didn’t need to be remembered, and the next second, she was shouting about Rain having an affair. Throwing Rain’s name around like it was dirt. Like she had been waiting for any excuse to drag her through the mud.I leaned back against my desk, my hands pressed flat against the wood, my jaw locked tight.I knew she didn’t trust Rain. Hell, she didn’t even like her. If I had told her about my marriage beforehand, she would have torn it apart before it even started. She would have poisoned my mind with doubt, with her selfish fears, with her obsession over control. She’d have wanted th
Chapter Forty-fourRainI didn’t know what was happening in there. I wished I had stayed back to hear what they were saying. My heart wouldn’t rest—it kept pounding hard against my ribcage as thoughts of what could be happening raced through my mind.I wasn’t sure Enzo would let things go just like that, and I wasn’t convinced Andrew had gone in there to actually make peace.What were they saying? What should I do? Should I just go in there?What if they were arguing and it had escalated into a fight? What if Enzo hurt Andrew?I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know if it was right to just stand there and do nothing. I couldn’t trust that Enzo wouldn’t do anything. He was so upset minutes ago that he would have sacked Andrew if she wasn’t so important to the company. After minutes of waiting, I couldn’t hold myself back any longer. I dragged my wobbly legs to the door—and my eyes widened, jaw dropping when I saw the two of them shaking hands. What the hell?They were like sworn enemi
Chapter Forty-threeEnzoHe needed to leave. That bastard had to go.I needed him out of here, far away, if I was going to be certain Rain was safe from him and from whatever danger he thought he could drag along with him.He told me he would do anything to make me pay for what I did. Even if that meant using Rain. That alone was enough to seal his fate.I didn’t even know what the hell I had done to him. I didn’t know what revenge he thought he was chasing. But if he wanted a war, he would get it. And I was sure as hell he would end up broken, scarred, and crawling if he dared to lock horns with me.I wasn’t afraid for myself. I was ready for it. I lived for it.But Rain…Rain wasn’t meant to be part of that darkness.She wasn’t meant to be dragged into the dirt and blood I was used to. She deserved better. She deserved peace, safety—things men like me couldn’t always guarantee, no matter how much we wanted to.I didn’t want her tangled in my dirty business. I didn’t want her touched
