Christabel's POV
“Getting water. What did you think I was doing?” I rolled my eyes and shoved him away as I picked a bottle of water from the refrigerator.Talk about seeing a monster in your dream and then in real life.“Well, it's none of my business what you do, just stay away from my uncle.”I rolled my eyes at that. Joan McDonalds, what was wrong with me when I saw a man in you?I'd never get an answer to this question but nevertheless, I'm where I am now because he broke my heart. Must be my fate to meet him and then meet his uncle who turned out to be my husband.“Uhm, would you like to tell this to your uncle or should I just tell him to call your dad?”He frowned and slowly moved away from the refrigerator.“Don't you dare” He threatened.“Don't you dare either because if you ever bring this up again, I'll tell Andre you're threatening me.”“Who do you think he'd believe? A wh*re or his nephew? Definitely….”“My wife. I'd believe my wife and now, your dad is on his way.”I turned back and Andre enveloped me in his warm embrace. He mumbled comforting words to my ears and I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face.“But Andre….” Joan groaned. “You….”“You crossed my path first. If you didn't, I wouldn't.”Andre escorted me back to our room, leaving Joan all by himself. He swore he'd get back at me and all I could do was smile.I wasn't happy about drifting their family apart but I wasn't in support of how Joan treated me either.For the first time, I felt the need to tell Andre about me. I wanted him to know the real me. I wanted to know more about him and why he married me.I was so curious about it and I was even more curious about why I married him. First it was for the money and now, I don't know anymore.“Andre, I…”“You don't have to tell me.” He cut me off right after closing the door. “Tell me when you're ready. It's your past and I won't judge your past. All I want now is you”What more could I ask for? A man so rich and loving. A man with a golden heart. He already has my soul and there's no going back for me. I walked towards him and placed my hands around his neck.“I have to tell you now. I have to tell you.”He smiled and carried me to our bed. “If you insist, belle”We sat down and I told him everything. Everything from the very beginning I remember. How I lived my life in an orphanage, my life after leaving the orphanage, my first relationship and everything I had with Joan.“Joan was never a good guy. He was a delinquent and although he's my favorite nephew, I'd never support him. He takes pride in bagging ladies every day and they all fall for him because he's rich. Well he's not the rich one, it's his dad and me but he's spoiled and it's mostly my fault.” Andre sighs and I place my hands around him to bring him in for a hug.“Let's talk about your family. How did you grow up?” I asked him to which he laughed.“Oh my,” his chest rumbled as he laughed again. “I was an unplanned child. My brother, Damian, is twelve years older than me. My elder sister is eight years older than me and there's me, the last child. I wasn't my parents’ favorite but my siblings adored me so much. My mum divorced my dad when she found out she was pregnant. My dad wasn't having it because he thought I was someone else's child but that's a lie because…”He picks his phone from the bedside and as he unlocked it, I saw that it was still very early and we've been up for a long time. It was 6:23 in the morning. He scrolled through his gallery and showed me a picture of him, or so I thought.“...This is my dad.”If he didn't tell me, I would have thought it was him. He is a replica of his father, a splitting image of the man who thought he wasn't even his child.“Wow.” I was stunned.“Yes, wow.” He looked at me and smiled.I took my time to stare at him, analyzing his features. Brown eyes, black hair, his eyelashes rest on their individual spots, making him look like a mannequin. His build can be likened to that of a wrestler. Maybe he's one.“What's your job?” I asked.“I am the largest shareholder for my family's hotel.”“The McDonalds hotel?” I asked again and he nodded.“My grandfather liked the hospitality industry and so did my father. He gave Damian the company and Damian made me the largest shareholder. Soon after, he made me the owner of the company but I worked my way up.”Another thing to admire. He worked his way up. My man worked his way up! If only I did too. I felt too small and insignificant compared to him. If only I had a few achievements….“You're beautiful just the way you are, my angel. You shouldn't have to feel less of yourself because I have achieved some things. With time, you would too.” he placed his hand over my head and patted it softly. “You're beautiful, Christabel”It was later in the day and Joan’s parents came over to pick him up as Andre wanted.I had never met his parents before and I was nervous about their reaction to finding out my past relationship with their son and then my marriage to said son’s uncle.“Thank you Andre, although what you did wasn't all so nice. You should have called me the moment he arrived at your place. Why didn't you?” Joan’s mum, Amelia, asked with a slight frown on her face.Earlier on, she hugged me and welcomed me into the family, stating that she is sorry for not coming for my wedding.Her husband, Damian also welcomed me and told me that he knows about my relationship with his son and he isn't against my relationship with his brother.“He's my nephew and I wanted to take care of him until he became unbearable.” Andre stared hard at Joan while saying this and he tightened his grip on my waist.Joan looked at me briefly and entered his dad's car begrudgingly. He stepped out again and came straight towards Andre and I.“Will she really be the reason our relationship won't be the same anymore?” He asked my husband to which he just chuckled.“Come back when you're ready to welcome her to the family.”He waved Joan off. Joan's parents entered the car and he joined them but before his dad drove off, he mouthed the words, “Remember what I said.”FLASHBACK +_+Right after my call with Vivian yesterday, Joan stormed into my room and turned everywhere upside down.“Who do you think you are?” I asked as I gripped his arm, just as he was about to fling my only surviving bag across the room.“Who do you think you are, Christabel? Why are you never satisfied? Why must you always be greedy?” He asked and jerked his arm away from my hand, making me tilt over but I managed to get a hold of myself.“Are you married to my uncle as a form of revenge against me? Must you be like this? Must you do this?” He asked me again but this time, with a worried expression.“We met and fell in love on our own accord, it's got nothing to do with you. And no, I'm not after his money. I'm not a greedy person, thank you very much.” I rolled my eyes at him.“Just remember, if you leave him, I'll kill you. Leave him now or stick with him for life. Either way, I'll come at you because you're my ex and I dumped you. The least you could do was leave my life and not spread your legs like a whore for my family”He stormed out of my room, leaving me to arrange the havoc he caused.FLASHBACK END +_+His words still echoed in my mind and it made me think I'd sly Andre someday. I feel like if I were in a tough situation and I had to leave him, I would and this scares me because he loves me and I do too, right?“You look like a lot is going on in your world.” Andre drew me closer to him where we stood watching the scenery.‘You are my world.’I wish I had the courage to say this but I just smiled at him and shook my head.“I'm fine, Andre” or am I?I don't know anymore and for the first time, I'm actually scared of losing someone. I'm scared of losing him. To think that someone I didn't know three months ago would mean the world to me a few weeks after knowing him is something I'd laugh at if I were told earlier. “I can see through you, Christabel. I know when you're not fine. We might have just met but I can tell when you're in a sour mood.” Andre clasped his left hand and mine together and stared deep into my eyes, like he's looking for something, anything. I sighed. “It's nothing.” “It's something but I won't force you to tell me.” He continued and never let go of our joined hands. My hands fitted in his, like it was meant to be there, like we were meant to be. “Why did you marry me?” I asked as we walked down the hallway towards his room. “You were outstanding. You've always been.” I frowned. “I've always been?” He was about to respond when his phone rang. “I have to go to my office now. I'm running late.” He patted
Christabel's POVI was already too close to jumping on him before slowing down on my heels, I didn’t want to seem so interested and finished even though I knew I was. I was falling in love with this man and I didn't know if I liked that fact.“Hey princess” he smiled as I made my way towards him. Maybe he could sense the tension that I tried to suppress, seeing that he pulled me closer by my waist and gave me a big hug. I felt instantly at peace in his arms. “I missed you '' he said, covering me whole, with his arms wrapped around my neck, squeezing me like a little puppy. It was obvious in his expression that he was tired not just physically but mentally too and it broke my heart to see him that way. He was suffering alone, while I was living the best life, and I wanted nothing more than to share in his pain. How I became a woman who cared so much about the affairs of others remained uncertain to me, but staring right now into his eyes, I could not even be a tiny bit bothered abo
Christabel's POV “How long have you known?” Andre asked, sitting up properly to face me, he was neither surprised nor angry at the fact, he just stared.“I was going to tell you. Belle, I promise.” He continued, “I was going to tell you when the time was right but I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable or begin to see yourself less than you are, because you had one night with a stranger, a stranger which happened to be me. I had approached you that day at the mall, thinking you would recognize me but when I saw that you didn’t……’“You remained silent,” I interrupted, finishing his sentence. I was pissed at him for not telling me, but also, I was very hurt.“You deserve everything good and beautiful, Belle, everything you have right now. And God knows that I’ll do anything and everything to give you more, it’s just” He said with his facial expression going sour, like he was being tormented, but stopped mid way before sighing and moving out of the bathtubWhy did he stop, why was he
Christabel's POV“Touch it belle, he wants you” Andre cooed, biting his lower lip once more and staring at me. I could cum only from watching him do that, his voice sent shivers to my spine. Who would have thought that Andre, who often was so sweet, would turn out to be so dangerously sexy. I even wondered why something like that surprised me, he was a billionaire after all, and one could only imagine the amount of hot, beautiful women he had come across in his lifetime This was a fun time for us and I wasn't prepared to allow intrusive thoughts invade my mind so I moved closer to his dick and took it in my hands, fondling it like a trophy I just won from the government, “I can’t believe this is mine” I muttered without realizing, making him laugh and causing me so much embarrassment, I really shouldn’t be saying things like that“It’s yours baby girl, but you have to prove how much you deserve it” he agreed, arranging my hair in a way that it would not obstruct me.‘He was good w
Christabel's POV"Louder princess, don’t be shy now. Tell me what you want” I heard him say. His voice like a drug in my system, a drug I couldn’t get enough of, a drug I was addicted to“Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me please” I chanted multiple times, increasing the pitch of my voice in each sentence.“Andre please fuck me” I cried out, with my legs shaking, while grabbing onto his hair and moving him even more close, it was almost like I was trying to fit hit head inside my pussy. I was shameless this time around about the way I was feeling, and at that moment I couldn't care more of how and in what esteem I carried myself. All I wanted was his dick deep inside my pussy, I was lost to the pleasure. He gave another breathtaking smile and crawled up to me, while staring right into my eyes. He planted a long and seductive kiss on my lips and I could taste myself on him.“You taste so good mama, so so good” he praised, before kissing me again.“I want you Andre, please” I said in between
Joan's POV“That bitch must think she’s the queen right now, ruling in a kingdom she doesn’t belong in. How could Andre be so foolish to love an animal like Christabel?” I said, pacing around my room so angrily while holding a glass of whiskey in my right hand. I was so furious about how helpless I felt in this situation and disgusted at the fact that Andre went for a slut as cheap as Christabel. “If you ask me, I’ll say she’s lucky you know, not everyone can bag a real man like your uncle, Joan. He is definitely the real deal” Tina spoke from the bed, holding a blunt of weed and glass of whiskey also.Tina was my new fish and a fucking ass gold digger whose intentions were well known to me. I didn’t care because we were not romantically involved or interested in each other, we just shared the same interests sexually and otherwise. She moved in with me a few weeks ago and had learned about everything that went on with Andre and Christabel, seeing how much I talked about it. She was
Joan's POVI called Jacqueline that morning and we agreed to meet at a restaurant close to where I stayed. The meeting was nothing special, not like I had expected it to be. She had not changed much from the way she used to look, talk and even dress, and she was still as ambitious and selfish as ever. If there was anything I was glad about, it was the fact that she was an ex from the past, one who was dead to Andre and forgotten, and one who never again stood a chance at his love, because he obviously deserved better.“So you wanted to see me to talk about your uncle, right? The same uncle you warned me never to go close to if I wanted to remain alive?” She asked with a smirk, while quoting what I said a long time ago before she left. She had hurt my uncle so bad and made him cry just because she chose to fuck his business partner who she thought was much more richer and influential than my uncle, only to see that he was nothing but his subordinate.“Yes and nothing about what I sa
JOAN'S POV“So you want to leave then, you want to go and leave me by myself just because I no longer have the means to take care of you, is that what this is?” I asked, trying to ignore the sting I felt at her words. I was taken aback a little, because it was the first time anyone would dare call me broke and not be wrong about it. And for once in my life, even if it was not as bad as most guys out there, I could relate to the sadness and loneliness they often felt because of poverty.“Why do you suddenly care so much, whether I choose to stay or leave, it’s not like you are in love with me or something. We both know that I’m only here to satisfy your needs, which is what I have done ever since I came.” Tina barked, getting angry at the fact that I was trying to emotionally blackmail her.“I agreed to stay with you for the things I stood to gain and you knew that, we both were gaining from each other, or atleast was supposed to, before things turned out like this. Right now, I have
