Ivanović POV
Groaning, 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 check the time and it was past midnight already.Burying my face in the pillow, I decided to go back to sleep.******The loud noise that came from my bedside alarm jolted me awake and I had my Virtual Assistant call out my schedule while I got ready for work.I needed to address the press about the progress of our new partnership and I also wanted to let both of my best friends know that I’ve found Lexi, the girl I was in love with for years.“Cassian!” Ansel called, jolting me out of my thoughts. I’d tried to stop thinking about her but it seemed as though the more I tried the more I couldn’t stop.“We have a lot of work to do and Reece is already so busy as it is considering you don’t have a personal assistant,” he said urgently, “what do you want to tell us?” He finished with a question.“I found her.”“Found who?” Ansel and Reece asked almost at the same time and I rolled my eyes as I groaned.“Lexi Finn.” I answered but that didn’t clear their confusion. Pulling off my jacket, I reminded them about Lexi and told them everything they already knew about me and her before they were able to remember it all.“So, did she recognize you? Did she tell you why she did what she did?” Reece asked and I shook my head negatively.“She met me as Ivanović Volkov and we’re getting married in three days.” I answered and Reece’s iPad had almost fallen out of her hand.“What?!” They both yelled, I was expecting the reaction from them so I took my time to explain to them that it was nothing serious.“I’m over Lexi and we’re only getting married because that way I’ll be able to take my revenge on her,” I smirked.“She’ll only be my wife on paper, nothing more than that, I just want to give her a taste of the medicine she fed me years ago.” I explained.“It’s been years, Cassian, you claim to have moved on but then you go ahead to propose a contract marriage because you know that her step father needed the help your Russian family will render while you’re married to her?” Ansel pointed out and I nodded.I was over Lexi Finn but I wasn’t over the way she made me feel that night on our last prom, I told her all about my plan only for her to make me look stupid for planning it.I was known as the nerdy boy and Lexi has always been popular, she moved around with the queens and kings of college and when we started talking I knew that there was no way she would want a guy like me.I was myself with her, she loves technology so much that we’ll spend hours talking about it and that night I’d asked her to be my date which she agreed to.FLASHBACKWaiting under the blizzards, I knew that Lexi wouldn’t stand me up and she was probably just running late because of the problem her parents had.I was unable to hide my shock when my supposed date came to prom with the school’s famous baseball player hand in hand.“L… Lexi?” I called, my voice failing me as I called her, she had walked past me and acted like she didn’t see me standing, waiting for her.“Hey, Cassian, meet Xander, my boyfriend.” She introduced her date to me and I could swear that everything around me paused when she introduced him to me as her boyfriend.I asked her to be my date and she agreed, I’d planned on asking her to be my girlfriend. I spent three years of my life in high school serving her, she was everything to me.“Isn’t that the loser that calls you every night?” Xander asked and Lexi only laughed, “Thanks for all the homework, I’m top of the class and still on the baseball team thanks to you.” He finished as they both walked into the school hall.It all made perfect sense to me now, Lexi was only with me because she needed my help, she needed me to help her boyfriend remain on the baseball team.I did all of the assignments and wrote all the essays because I thought it was hers and it made her happy anytime I finished. It usually makes her so happy that she would hug and kiss me on my cheek.I should’ve known.Humiliated, I ran out of school and got myself lost in the woods that my parents had to find me and that same night, I lost both my parents in a car crash.**********“Making her suffer and keeping her caged in something as huge as marriage is too much.” Reece’s voice put a halt to my thoughts.Shaking my head negatively, I told her that it wasn’t even enough and I intend to make her suffer much more than just keeping her in a marriage.“She has to feel the pain I felt and I won’t stop until she comes crashing down in front of me.” I said through gritted teeth.Picking up my phone, I decided to call Lexi for a private meeting in order to discuss the term of the contract she’d signed.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
Lexi’s POVHis eyes scaled me from my head to my toe and I shivered when he finally spoke, “Follow me.” His voice was so stern that for a moment I felt like my feet were glued to the ground but I knew better.I knew better than to let him look back and repeat those same words to me. Hurriedly and without questions, I followed him down the hallway.It felt like we were going to a different compartment in the house and with every step I took, fear washed through my veins.Soon, Ivan stopped by a door and opened it. He ordered me to go in which I did without any questions asked. I have never been in any other room in the house before except for my room, the sitting room and the kitchen.Everything including the air in this room felt new to me. The lights came on and a red light came on, the room was still pitch dark but it was also bright enough for me to see Ivan.It looked like the kind of rooms I saw in movies, my eyes darted around and I saw a small cage right in the middle of the ro
