Chapter 24: Hot stranger*Melissa's POV*A week had passed since that night. The night I fell sick and vomited all over Williams' chest. I still remembered the grip of fear that had held me tight when I realized what I had done. I thought for sure he would be furious, that his anger would be unleashed upon me again, considering our heated argument on the morning of that day. But instead, he surprised me.He cared, and tended me like a child, and even called a doctor to check on me the next morning. His ways could be quite unpredictable, leaving me confused about his personality sometimes. The physician had diagnosed that I fell sick because of stress and that I needed rest. And since then, Williams had made sure I got it, once again shocking me.For the past few days, he had been acting... strange and different. He had instructed the maids to wait on my hand and foot, ordering that I shouldn't be allowed to do anything, and I pitied them. The only thing they had not helped me do was
Chapter 25: Bad guy*Williams' POV*As I stepped out of the car, I clutched the pack of chocolate I'd picked up on my way home for Melissa. I didn't know what was wrong with me, but lately, I found myself trying to make up for how I've treated her in the past.It was even worse today when I had told Stefan to stop at a chocolate store and I bought her a strawberry flavored chocolate. I wasn't used to getting things for people, especially women but I just wanted to make her happy.As I entered the house, the familiar greetings from the house workers barely registered in my head as my mind was preoccupied with how Melissa was going to react to my little gift. I hastened to the third floor, taking the elevator to make the journey quicker.But as I opened the door to our room, my excitement was met with an empty space. Melissa was nowhere to be found. I scanned the room, even listening for any sound from the bathroom, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. But she was nowhere in the room.I pu
Chapter 26: Lounging on his bed*Melissa's POV*I woke up with a hangover, my head pounding heavily. I didn't drink much at all last night at the club, but I had a very low tolerance for alcohol. I groggily got out of the bed and made my way to the bathroom, my eyes half closed.I turned on the faucet and splashed water on my face, trying to ease the throbbing. But the water didn't seem to help, and I ended up pouring some of it over my head, letting out a soft groan.As I emerged from the bathroom, my eyes scanned the room, searching for Williams. But he was nowhere to be found. I concluded he must had left for work already.My mind began to replay the heated argument we had the night before. I bit my lips, feeling the annoyance and anger resurface. I wished I could escape and run away from this toxic marriage, but I knew I couldn't. My father's safety was tied to my staying with Williams, and I couldn't risk putting him in harm's way.With how unreasonable and cruel Williams was, h
Chapter 27: Don't fire himI studied Williams, and he didn't appear angry, making me feel a little disappointed."How long have you been in the room?" I asked him, getting myself into a sitting position."Get dressed, we need to go somewhere," he said, ignoring my question."Where are we going?""You'll find out once you do as I say, wifey. Just wear something comfortable," he said, his expression not giving away anything.I bit my lips to stop myself from blushing at the manner which he drawled the 'wifey' and his gaze lingered on my lips for a moment, making me blush eventually.I reluctantly got out of the bed and went to find something to wear from the wardrobe. My thought ran wild as I thought of where he could be taking me. What if he wanted to punish me? Maybe he couldn't tolerate me anymore after last night. I stole a glance at him and his enigmatic expression only added to my uneasy. I tried to push the thought aside, telling myself I was being paranoid.I rummaged through th
Chapter 28: Meeting his family*Melissa's POV*I stood there, trying to process the whirlwind of emotions Williams' sudden apology and offer of freedom had unleashed. I was shocked, confused, and struggling to make sense of his drastic change in behavior.From his nonchalance about me lying on his bed without permission to the helicopter ride and now this, I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to it and not just because of our fight last night. When I couldn't think of any solid reason behind his actions, I decided to brush it aside for a moment and ask him about something that had been bothering me since that night he drove me out in the middle of our intimacy.I had been looking for an opportunity to bring up the topic since then, but he hadn't been available. But I'm guessing now would be the best moment as he was in his good man era.I entered the living room and found Williams resting his head on the sofa arm, his eyes closed, and his face etched with fatigue. He
Chapter 29: Did he hit his head?*Melissa's POV*I hugged the old woman back hesitantly, feeling a bit uncomfortable with the sudden physical display of affection from people I had just met. She held me tight and I was suddenly reminded of my mom, she used to hug me in the same warm and gentle way whenever she returned from her trips.The memory brought a sting to my eyes, and I fought to push back the tears. The last thing I wanted was to cry in front of these people I just met.Vivianne chuckled before she spoke."Granny, you're going to squeeze her out.""Let me be, she's not complaining. Or are you, darling?" She released me, looking at my face with a warm smile, and I shook my head smiling back. "Such a beauty," she praised. "That grandson of mine is so uncultured, he didn't even inform me he was getting married. I had to hear it from his grandpa last night when I got back from my trip. Could you imagine?" She grumbled, walking over to sit on the sofa."Come and sit with me, chil
Chapter 30: A thousand miles away*Melissa's POV*My heart raced as Williams' intense gaze bore into my soul. He didn't have his usual stern look, infact, he hadn't had that look since his abnormal behavior started, but the way he looked at me right now still made my skin crawl. He had an unreadable expression and I wondered what he was thinking.If he just wanted to have sex with me in this middle of the night, then he should just get it done already, so I could go back to my sleep. It wasn't new that he would do anything to satisfy his selfishness. This was probably why he had been pretending to be kind towards me these past few days. But why did he had to go through all those process when he could just command me to open up my legs? and why was he just standing there, staring at me now?After like eternity, he finally spoke, his voice devoid of its usual commanding nature."I'm not going to touch you, bunny. I just want to sleep beside you tonight." He said gently, shocking me.So,
Chapter 31: Weak*Williams’ POV*"Was that what you wanted when your dick kept poking my booty?" she asked back, with a low, seductive voice, her fat ass making another wiggly movement.My hands slowly went to her ass and I squeezed it gently through the thin material night gown she was wearing. She stifled a moan, but pushed her ass closer to my body again, arching it slightly in the process."That's my cue, Mami. You're truly seducing me," I said, giving her ass another squeeze."Tell me you don't want it," she replied, her hand coming atop mine and she directed it further till I could feel her wetness, her words coming out as a moan. I paused for a moment, shocked by her boldness. But I was more shocked a second later when she suddenly turned to face me and her lips descended hungrily on mine. At that moment, every sanity flew out of my head. What was happening? I suddenly felt weak! Felt like I lost control! And that was a feeling I wasn't used to. A feeling I hated, but right n
