Hello, Wife
As soon as I sent her the text, I dragged my lazy self up from my bed and began packing up my things into a suitcase. When I was done, I went to the parlor and told Sarah about tomorrow's trip, and to my surprise, she urged me to go. Although her reasons were valid, I needed to breathe some fresh air, but I had expected her to at least try compelling me to stay, but, it's okay, it's not like I wanted to face any obstacles whatever my decision.First thing in the morning, I got ready to leave. Sarah wasn't around, so I left her a note.Elaina had already booked a flight this time, before inviting me over. As if she already knew that I no longer had any excuse to give her or a reason to stay back in Los Angeles.I dragged my boxes downstairs, hailed a taxi, and was ridden absentmindedly to the airport.For a moment, my thoughts drifted to the woman I had seen atop Fred two nights ago. She had a sexy back and body entirely and knew how to use it. I could tell she was an expert. Remember I had been forced to watch those nasty videos on G****e just to please Fred. I saw how the women in those videos did it and it was no different than what the woman who had been with Fred did. She was really flexible and good with her waist.Sighing, I slouched on the seat of the car and tried to comfort myself with the words that relationships do end. It's a normal thing. Heartbreaks happen. People get tired of people. But, how I ever thought that someone like Fred who's from a wealthy home would devote himself fully to me? I am just a naive girl who got used. I was starting to drown in the pain of it all over again until the driver's voice came pulling me from my reverie."We are here Ms." His voice sounded faint. It took me a few minutes to return fully to reality."Oh!" I murmured when the driver's voice called me again. Thankfully he wasn't harsh, else I would have found my naive self crying at the moment.I hurriedly got out of the car with my boxes and paid him, simultaneously apologizing for the delay."It's alright Ms." He said. "I figured you were sad. Whatever happened, don't let him get to you." My mouth dropped open in shocked surprise. Is it that noticeable that I am suffering heartbreak? "You are too pretty to walk the streets of Los Angeles with a sad face." When he said that, I found myself crying already. The foolish tears I had tried to control were overwhelming me. I quickly wiped them from my cheeks and offered him a smile."Thank You," I said and started to drag my bag towards the airport.How do people even get over heartbreaks?I exhaled sharply. It does pay to be experienced.Probably later, when I must have arrived in DC, I'd figure out ways to get over a heartbreak.I rolled my suitcases into the airport, but a group of huge men in black suits lined up in front of me, creating a barrier between me and the entrance. They had their hands crossed in front of them, and radios connected to their ears. And they had stoic expressions on their faces.Instantly, I became scared. What was happening?Looking up nervously at them, I said 'Hi' and offered them a smile, but their faces remained unchanged.My grip on my suitcase tightened as I thought of who the men were and thought of what to do. But before I could even think of an escape, they had already encircled me."Boss, we found the woman, she's trying to leave the city."My heart began to race with fear. These men looked like hired assassins or bodyguards. Why were they blocking my path, who had I offended and who was the person they had just spoken with on the phone? As I thought of it, a name suddenly came to mind.Fred!How dare he try to stop me from leaving the city after cheating on me? And how in heaven's name did he even get to find out that I was leaving the country? Sarah didn't tell him, did she? Poor girl, he must have forced her to tell him. The wealthy were used to oppressing the poor.I felt disgusted and angry as I looked up at the men. I wanted to shout at them and ask them to get out of my way, but they were so huge and scary. I was just like an ant amid elephants.I felt the urge to cry. Why were all the wrong things happening to me?"Let her alone." An authoritative voice that sounded distinctly familiar said and the men in suits started dislodging from around me. This person that could give these men an order and they listen, must be the boss they had spoken with. He was certainly the reason for this harassment. But, that wasn't Fred's voice. Who then could it be? I looked up to see who the person was and familiar authoritative grey eyes greeted mine."Hello, wife!"My entire body froze on seeing the stranger from the other night standing in front of me, with a tiny smirk playing at the side of his lips as he stared at me. I was shocked. I had thought that I would never see him again. That night, I had given him my first time with the intention of never meeting him afterward. I had believed I would never meet him again, but now, here he was, standing right in front of me in a pair of a black perfectly tailored suit, with the first three buttons of his shirt undone, leaving his chiseled chest in view, and looking as hot as he had that night.Threatened (1)He was standing in front of me, looking as perfect as he had that night. Seeing him again reminded me of how intimate I had gotten with him. The moans and all of it. And my cheeks instantly turned red in embarrassment. But for the first time after that night, I questioned my upbringing. How have I ever done that? And wait, did he just call me... Wife?I stared up at him, confused, but he still had his smirk."What did you call me?" I queried. But instead of giving me an answer, he started toward me, and with just a step, he was covering the distance between us, so that we were standing uncomfortably too close. At least, it felt that way to me. But he didn't look like he cared or minded."Wife!" He repeated it, this time, with a lot more sensuality. His breath fanned my face and my breath hitched. He was standing so close, too close that his lips were ghosting on mine. I Involuntarily started to take a step back, but he grabbed my waist before my foot could touch the flo
ERIC's POVWhen I got a call that the little woman was about to run off the country, I immediately instructed my chauffeur to reverse the car. Luckily, I was somewhat close to the airport.On arrival, my bodyguards had her surrounded and I could see the worry on her face. She looked so innocent, like a damsel in distress and it made her look adorable.I approached her, first noticing her small eyes grow wide in shock, then her cheeks instantly turning red in something that looked to be embarrassing when she saw me."Wife?" I called when I was close enough to her.She stared up at me with a look of confusion."What did you call me?" She asked, looking both innocent and confused. But instead of giving her an immediate answer, I took a step toward her, covering even the tiniest distance between us."Wife!" I said it again, hoping she would hear me better from this range. I mean, I had squatted just to be at her level. But rather than giving me an answer, she inhaled sharply and I found m
Her New Home.Rayne's POVTears formed at the back of my eyes as I said those words to him. I didn't dare to look up at him at that moment as I didn't want him to see my tears. He was a stranger and I could afford to show him this vulnerable side of me."Get her luggage." I heard his authoritative voice speaking over my head, then his strong big arms encircled my waist and pulled me forward. "Let's go home, wife."Each time he said that word, my eyes stung and threatened more tears, tears of disappointment. The disappointment of ending up with a total stranger after hoping and dreaming all along that it would be Fred with whom I would be spending the entirety of my life. Yet, I was getting married to a man I didn't even know his first or last name. I barely even knew anything about him.As he walked me to the car and opened the door for me, my head remained bowed while I continued to bite on my lower lip, trying so hard to hold myself from crying aloud.When I was inside the car, I im
Pleasing HerRayne's POV"Alright, wife, I'll have a room prepared for you."I glanced up at him, surprised that he agreed."Thank you," I said to him, grateful that he had agreed. He nodded, turned around, and started toward the door. But he soon stopped just when he had grabbed the knob, and then turned to me."What's your favorite color?"I was taken aback by the question, but I still answered."Dark Purple," I replied and saw him lift a brow, expressing brief surprise before nodding and walking away.ERIC'S POV"I- it's not that, I just want to be by myself for now." I watched her talk, she had her head bowed, and was stammering like a scared little kitten in front of a bulldog and I couldn't help but wonder if I looked scary.I could make her stay in my room. I could make her share my room. I could just say the words and she would have no choice but to stay back here with me, but, for some reason I couldn't, not with her looking at me with frightened eyes as though I was some can
To Carry My WeightI strolled in, shutting the door behind me. When I was close enough to her sleeping form, I squatted beside her. I watched her sleeping face with a frown. Her cheeks had those trails of tears again, and her countenance looked disturbed. It was visible that she had cried again after I left.I lifted one of my hands, gently cupping it on her face and she sighed heavily at the feel of it. Then I caressed her spotless milk skin with my thumb and watched as her expression began to soften slowly and her breathing gradually began to return to normality. I stared at her innocent pretty face, my eyes studying every form and angle until they stopped on her lips. Small, pink, and succulent. I pulled away, stilling myself from claiming them. Then my phone suddenly rang, and my attention was pulled from her. Seeing the caller id, my mood turned sour. I rose from my position and walked toward the bed."What is it, Smith?" I returned to Rayne on the sofa after dressing the sheet.
Suddenly Married"You should learn to eat more, you'd be needing a lot of strength to carry my weight." He said and winked at me. My heart began to race stupidly. I looked away from his smirking face and pinned my eyes to the food in front of me. Picking up the fork from my side, I rolled some spaghetti and took a bite, my stomach growling in excitement. I hadn't realized I was so hungry. In a few minutes, I had devoured the meal in front of me. It surprised me, knowing that I wasn't the type to eat much. Guess I really had been so hungry. After all, it was my first meal since the day began. I glanced over at the stranger and my face turned red with embarrassment when I saw him staring at me questioningly."I haven't had anything to eat all day," I said, defending myself. But he didn't say anything, instead, he dished some more food onto my plate."Thank you," I muttered to him and he nodded before picking up his spoon."We will be going to the registry tomorrow morning." I heard him
A Sisterly Touch"Good morning Ms. Rayne." A slender red-haired woman in a pair of blue body-fitting suits smiled in my direction. I stared at her confused. Who was she and how did she know my name? She walked toward me as I looked around at the movements in my room."I'm Jessica Lawn, Lawn's world fashion designer. I'd be helping you get ready for your marriage today." She said, smiling warmly.'Marriage?' My mind screamed at me. How had I forgotten that I was getting married? But it wasn't something to be happy about.Wait, did she say she was Jessica Lawn of Lawn's world fashion house? I stared at her in shock. Lawn's fashion house was one of the most renowned fashion houses in Los Angeles and she, Jessica Lawn, was its CEO. Only a few in Los Angeles could afford to have her in person, so it was a shock to have her standing live in my room."Good morning, Ms. Lawn," I was excited to see her. I've always wished to meet her in person. But with my class of people that was only a dream
Wedding DayERIC's POVThey were taking a long time to come down, yet I sat patiently, waiting.So unusual for me.Why was Jessica Lawn taking a lot of time getting her ready? And why the fuck was I feeling anxious?Women! That gender just has their own way with things.It seemed it'd take them the whole day to get prepared, so I adjusted my tie and reclined my head to rest on the couch. But not long after, I could hear the sound of heels clicking on the marble tiles. I opened my eyes and looked in the direction where the sound was coming from and my whole being was frozen for a brief moment as I stared at the goddess descending the stairs. Rayne. She was wearing the Versace dress I had particularly chosen for her, and her in it was a perfect sight.Just like that, I forget all of the delays. I mean, why won't I? It was worth every minute of the time delayed.She cat-walked toward me with her eyes pinned to the ground, nibbling on her lower lip. She stood in front of me and for a minu
