Lexi’s POV
Quickly, I ran into my room and slammed the door shut behind me as I slid down the door in tears. My life had completely turned around from worse to even more worse.Clutching my chest, I let the tears flow freely as I tried to wrap my head around what had just happened downstairs. For a moment I could see his eyes burning with anger as he pulled me closer to him. ‘You’re mine now Lexi Finn until I no longer need you.’His words kept ringing in my head and I’d tried to figure out where I’d heard that voice before because he sounded so familiar but I still couldn’t register it.My life is a total mess and with the way Ivanović had affirmed that I’m his I knew that there was no way out of this for me anymore.He seemed completely different from the stranger I met at the club last night and for a moment I’d thought that that stranger was as nice as he appeared to be. To my utmost surprise and disappointment he does not only turn out to be the mysterious son in the Volkov’s family but also a total jerk.Cleaning my tears and accepting my fate while trying to look at the brighter side of things, I stared at the blank wall for a while before my gaze fell on the picture of my parents that I placed by my bedside.“I miss you so much.” I sighed as I held the frame close to my chest. I was still wallowing in my self pity and agony when my phone rang.Picking it up, I sniffled when I picked my best friend’s call. Her cheery voice did wonders and soon I’d already cheered up.Telling her about everything that had happened and how the person I was supposed to get married to was the man from last night, Camille shouted in shock when I was done explaining it all to her.“What do you intend to do now?” She asked and I shook my head like she was going to see me.“I don’t know,” I answered, “but I have no other choice. I signed the papers already and we’re doing this. I just want to leave this house but I can already tell that my future husband hates me.” I explained in the best way I could.“Hates you?” Camille asked, obviously surprised, “how? You both had sex last night and…” she continued but I cut her off.I explained everything to her from the way he shook my hand, to the way he spoke to me with so much disgust like he knew me from somewhere and I’m his sworn enemy.Camille and I were still talking when I heard my stepfather call my name with so much urgency. Dropping the call, I hurried out of my room to see that my in-laws were ready to take their leave.“We’ll be back in three days and by then all formal preparations would’ve been made.” Charlotte explained and I nodded as she hugged me.Saying my goodbyes to them, I turned to leave but my step father’s angry voice stopped me in my tracks and I turned to look at the most angry pair of eyes.“What is the meaning of all these?” He asked, referring to the papers I’d torn to shreds earlier, I gulped down spit as all I intended to say got stuck in my throat.“You’re really lucky that they didn’t try to dissolve the contract, they’ll send another paper and you will sign it.” He said, his teeth gritting against each other as he approached me and fear gripped me.“Listen and I want you to listen to me very well,” he started as he stopped in front of me, “you better act right and go through with all of these or I’ll make sure that you don’t see the light of day.” He finished in a threat.His grip had tightened even more around my neck making it difficult for me to breathe, I was used to his usual torture but what scared me the most was what I was going to go through when I get to Ivanović Volkov’s house.Tearing up, I promised that I was going to act right and make sure that the planned marriage went as well as possible. He released me and I hit my head on the stair rail as I tried to balance my footing.Ignoring me and not caring if I passed out, he walked past me and into his room leaving me alone with my thoughts.I stared at the piece of paper on the table and picking it up, I saw my step father's signature as he pledged to have signed me off to the Volkov’s and have nothing to do with me anymore whether dead or alive.Quietly, I walked into my room. My vision was blurry due to the tears that were welling up in my eyes and the thought of my step father and Ivanović Volkov disgust me even more.Getting ready for bed, my phone chimed and I opened it to see that I’d gotten an email from CassianTech. I'd used Camille’s mail to apply and I guess she directed them to me already. ‘Please be punctual and come with the necessary documents on Monday. We look forward to interviewing you. -CassianTech team.’Smiling, at least something is going right in my life and by Monday I’ll be going for an interview in the biggest Tech company in the world. That seemed like the only good thing happening in my life.I really tried to move everything happening to the back of my head but I was unable to do that. His words kept ringing in my head and it wasn’t hard for me to know that he hated me.If he hates me so much why then did he agree to the marriage?I had lots of questions running through my mind and I just couldn’t help but ask myself how I was going to live in his house knowing how much he hates me.“You just need to leave Thomas Matthews house.” I said to myself in a bid to console myself that nothing was as bad as living with my step father.Closing my eyes, I tried to sleep but the soreness between my legs made it quite difficult for me to maintain one position.Keeping my eyes open, I watched as darkness plunged deeper into the night and soon I was engulfed in the darkness.Ivanović POVGroaning, I turned on the bed and my hand hit something, opening my eyes at once. I winced when I saw the naked feature sleeping so peacefully beside me.I was really drunk last night and I’d thought that the girl would’ve left by now. I hated waking up with my one night stand still by my side.“Get the hell up, you should leave,” I tried to be as nice as I could as I nudged her awake but she still didn’t stand up and she’d instead changed her sleeping position.Frustrated, I shook her till I was sure that she was fully awake, “what time is it?” She slurred but I didn’t care about that, all I wanted was for her to get the hell out of my house.“Time for you to leave, I guess,” I answered as I helped her with her bags and clothes, “I had a great time, you can leave now.” I finished as I pushed her out of my bedroom naked.I had no idea if she left already but if she knew what was good for her she would leave before I came back outside. Tired, I walked back to my bed to che
Lexi’s POVI was enjoying my peaceful sleep when the sound of my phone ringing jolted me awake. Groaning,I picked it up to see that it was from an unknown number.“Hello, who’s this?” I groaned into the phone sleepily as I rubbed my eyes and tried to stay awake.“It’s Ivanović Volkov,” The Russian accent that I’ll recognize anywhere answered and I jumped up, all the sleep leaving my eyes at once and I can now see clearly.What does he want from me so early in the morning?“Meet me in ten minutes, we need to discuss the terms of this marriage and I have some rules.” He replied coldly.He has suddenly gone from the man I met yesterday to a stranger and I could just feel the utter hate coming from the way he spoke to me.“What terms?” I asked, my own anger equally building up, “that there’s no way I’m getting out of the shackles of getting married to you?” I shot back at him.“That and the dos and don'ts you need to abide by when you move into my house this evening.” He replied and my ey
Ivan’s POV“I’m sorry.” She apologized again as she averted her eyes from my gaze. Her dark brown hair fell over her face and all I wanted to do at that moment was to tuck the hair behind her hair.I’d tried so hard to ignore the fact that my body was calling out to her but her white see-through nightgown made it almost impossible for me to look away from her impeccably perfect body.Her slim, long fingers interlocked each other and I couldn’t help the smile that formed across my face, she was nervous and it’s been years but she hadn’t stopped doing that.Her face was slightly down as she stared at her feet, not daring to look me in the eyes. The way she batted her eyelashes as she bit her lower lips made some sort of vibration go through my body.I wanted to lift her head up and kiss her extremely soft lips, I’d forgotten what they tasted like after that first night.Shaking the gentle thoughts I had of her out of my head, I reminded myself that she was only in my house because she’s
Lexi’s POVMy body trembled and I could do nothing but watch as Ivan thrusted into me roughly and even harder than when we’d first had sex.The hot tears that stung the back of my eyes dropped freely as I closed my eyes, it seemed like I’d done something to make Ivan hate me so much that he’d already sworn to make my life unbearable.Crying, I watched as he pulled his dick out roughly out of me and shook it so the last drop would also fall on my belly.It was disgusting now but like three nights ago it wouldn’t have been. Why does my life have to be so horrible?With tears trickling out of my eyes, I made my way to the bathroom slowly since the soreness between my legs had made me unable to walk properly.Cleaning his semen off my belly, I took a shower to wash off his smell and I’d even made sure to scrub myself properly but I still couldn’t get the scent of his strong masculine perfume out of my skin.Giving up, I made my way back to the room and winced as I sat on the edge of the b
Lexi’s POV“We leave when I’m ready and you better be ready by then.” He growled before turning to make his way to his room.Crying, I clutched my stomach as I crawled to the edge of the stairs, my head felt like there were a thousand bells ringing inside it. My stomach aches and I could feel myself dying inside.Why is all of this happening to me?Struggling to stand, I walked to my room and sat on the edge of the bed as what happened back downstairs played again in my head. I heard a knock on the window and flinched, my fear had skyrocketed until I realized that it was just the force of the air.I couldn’t sit around any more because I knew that Ivan could be ready at any moment. Making my way to the bathroom, I got under the shower and let out a painful wince when the water touched my skin.It felt as though someone had just rubbed salt on my wound. Hurriedly having my bath, I tended to my wounds and applied makeup to cover my bruises so that it’ll be less noticeable.I picked out
Lexi’s POV“What just happened?” I groaned as I tried to sit up and I looked around to see the entire family having dinner.It all started coming back, I’d just passed out from being too tired and what on earth makes me think that they’ll really care about me.Wincing in pain, I held my head and my eyes felt heavy as I tried to stand. My stomach groaned and I knew it was because I haven’t eaten anything all day.Swallowing, I felt chills down my spine as I slowly made my way to the kitchen. I was so hungry and I knew that I’m probably going to die if I didn’t eat anything, especially since I had nothing to eat last night.The cold grew more intense and I was freezing. I bit down on my dry lips as I walked, “where do you think you’re going?” Ivan’s voice made me stop in my tracks.Shivering, I turned to face him. My stomach tightened when for a moment I saw a monstrous image on his perfectly handsome face.“I… I’m sorry,” I apologized in advance so as not to get him angry, “I’m hungry
Ivan’s POV“Fuck,” the girl moaned in my mouth as I twirled two of my fingers deep inside her pussy while also massaging her clit slowly.“What else do you want, you little slut?” I asked and she arched her back, granting me even more access to her dripping vagina.“More than just your fingers,” she moaned, “I want your dick, daddy.” She finished and my dick rose at once at the way she spoke.I wouldn’t have invited her but after seeing Lexi this evening, I’ve been having the intense urge to fuck her brains out. Neither of the females I’ve been with after that night with Lexi makes me feel the same way she made me feel but I couldn’t sleep with a hard dick.Plus, I felt like Lexi had had enough trouble for the day already and fucking her harshly wouldn’t be something I want her to deal with right now.Lexi does something to me and sometimes I just want to put an end to her torture, I wanted to give her another chance and see if she’ll love me like she loved that baseball player.My do
Lexi’s POVI woke up earlier than I thought I would and a small smile escaped my lips when I thought about Andrei. Walking outside, the house was so silent and for a moment I’d thought that the Volkov’s families had gone back and Andrei had left with them.My life is back to being horrible after just a few minutes of last night’s laughter.“Good Morning.” I heard a cheery voice that I recognized from last night greet me from behind and I hurriedly turned to see Andrei standing there with a wide smile.His hair was a mess and he had no shirt on, which made him a thousand times hotter than he was last night.“I thought you left—““Without saying goodbye to you? I’ll never.” He laughed as he made his way closer to me. My cheeks felt so hot that I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me that I was blushing.The butterflies I felt in my stomach increased and I could hear them flapping their wings out of joy as Andrei stopped in front of me.His lips looked so soft and I thought he was going to
