LYDIA’S P.O.V:-I was walking towards my car withthe file of a new project of Mr. Mathew, the previous night’s party of him wasto cover the media and get their attention towards the new project butunfortunately, it was a disaster for us although it was successful for him andthe company.I feel helpless and guilty as Icouldn’t help the one person close to my heart, I don’t know why Apollo wantsher but one scratch on her and I will kill that bastard myself, and it’s apromise that I made myself for Clair.After that man took her with him, I came back to my apartment and dressed up for the office. I got inside my car and drove from here. As I reached my office, I noticed that Clarissa hasn’t come yet.It made me tense and worried about her, “Lillian!” I called as I noticed her walking towards Mathew’s office, I got up from my chair and walked to her. She watched me walk to her with a smile on her face, “Do you know why Clarissa didn’t come yet,” I asked her, she shook her head as c
CLARISSA’S POV:-“Wh.. What!” I shuddered, when I heard his words, my mind has stopped working when that event happened in his basement has rushed to my mind. I licked my dry lips while looking away from him. My heart was beating rapidly against my ribcage.Whose blood was that? Why was that on the bed? Did he do something to me when I was unconscious? But he said that wasn’t my blood! All these questions were running inside my mind, but I didn’t dare to voice them. I could feel his hand travelling slowly towards my stomach and my breathing hitched when I felt his hot breath on my neck, I throat dried when I felt his wet kiss on the nape of my neck.“Ap.. Apollo!” I whispered,“I know, what’s running in your brain,” he whispered against my skin. He pulled me back with his hand wrapped around my waist. I could feel his toned muscles against the fabric. Some unknown feeling has washed over my body making me flush. He began placing wet kisses over my neck while tightening the hold aroun
CLARISSA’S POV:-The feelings were intense, my hands were around his neck while gripping his hair from the back of his neck.“hm...” I was a moaning mess, he let go of my lips and began kissing my neck, I threw my head back feeling his lips against my skin and the warmth it had, he sucked on my sweat spot which made me moan out loud.“Apollo…” I moaned when he began licking the spot he sucked on, my body was pressed tightly against his, my breasts were squeezed against his chest. I was on edge, I don't know what I was feeling but it was clear I want more. His hands were gripping on my waist he found my lips again, He’s everywhere up my neck and over my jaw and suddenly he’s kissing me harder, deeper, with a fervent urgent need I’ve never known before. He groaned softly, low in his throat as I kissed him back with the same intensity and need, I feel him, all of him, pressed against me.Suddenly, he let go of my lips and pressed his forehead to mine, the absence of his lips on mine mad
I opened my eyes and blinked to let my eyes adjust to the light coming from the window, I turned around and saw the bed empty, I sat up and looked around to see the room empty as well. I sighed and got up from the bed. Whatever happened last night rushed to my brain and I was so confused about the things I did yesterday. It made me upset with myself, I shouldn’t have done that! I had never been so close to any man let alone share the bed with them.I was ashamed of myself for doing that.I walked back to my room and took a long cold shower, I tried to forget everything I did and decided to stay away from him as much as possible.Do not touch him. I said it over and over to let myself not forget it. I dressed up and took my handbag with me while walking out of the room. I strode downstairs and reached the dining table. I sat down on the chair and saw I was the only one sitting there, the place Apollo always sat was empty.Maybe he left early. I thought and took my plate, the butler wal
LYDIA’S POV:-After what doctor has said about the condition of Mathew, I released the breath I was holding all this time, it was horrible to see him like that. Thank god he’s fine and nothing’s danger. I was walking towards the exit as I got a call from the office, I just forgot to inform Mr. Jackson, the head of the leading business magazine of New York, about Mr. Mathew. He had the meeting with Mathew today but this happened. I must go and apologise to him before he does something, he can be a very impatient man.As I was walking towards the exit, I stopped dead in tracks when I saw Simon walking inside with a serious expression on his face. I gulped hard as I noticed his eyes move around and finally landed on me.I blinked in confusion and tried to swallow the lump formed in my throat, I walked towards him with calculative steps and stopped with a good distance between us.“What are you doing here?” I asked, I was tense and scared but I didn’t let it show on my face as I knew he w
PRESENT“Simon, Please,” I yelled but he chose to ignore and dragged me out of the hospital. I didn’t expect him to come here, I thought he would be coming in the evening and I decided to talk to him and convince him somehow but he surprised me. I could understand his urgency but I would never ever go with him, I hate him, I hate him from the bottom of my heart. I would never do the same mistake twice, I trusted him once and in return, all I got was heart break and pain, I will not do that again.He dragged me towards his car and opened the door, “Get in!” he said releasing my hand, I glanced at the seat and looked back at him, “Simon! Please listen to me,” I said with my pleading eyes,Please listen, goddamn it… I must convince him anyway, I have too… think of something Lydia! Think! Think.... yes! I will tell him and make him believe that I will come with him and ask him to wait for me in my house… of course, I won’t go back home, I will stay in a hotel for this night and think of s
CLARISSA’S POV:- “Mother?” I whispered,Romulus’s mother is here, that means he was talking about Apollo? I had so many questions running in my mind, why would Apollo be far from his own mother? Why did she call Romulus instead of Apollo? If she wanted them to visit, she should have called both, but she just called Romulus and asked to bring Apollo with him, that only meant Apollo is not in talking terms with his mother.But why? This family is way more mysterious than I thought!As I was lost in thoughts, I had heard footsteps coming towards me, I was about to turn, “Clarissa?” Romulus called,Shit!I slowly turned around, “Romulus!” I said, looking at him nervously, “I’m so sorry I overheard your conversation!” I said without making eyes contact with him.“It’s okay,” he replied, I looked up at him and saw him struggling to say something!“Romulus!” I said,“Huh!” he replied, looking at me.“Is everything alright?” I asked,“Yes, I actually need a favor from you!” he said looking a
Clarissa POV:-We both walked inside, Romulus closed the door and walked behind me, my heart was beating hard and nervousness was making my legs shiver. While I was walking in the living room, I found Apollo sitting on the sofa with his right leg over his left and was checking his phone.I looked back at Romulus and walked towards Apollo nervously, “Apollo!” I called him, he looked up at me and smiled when he saw me, he kept his phone on the couch and pulled me towards him and I landed on his lap. He pushed the strands of my hair to my ear with his long fingers which made me blush, “You wanted to talk?” he said looking at me like I was a delicate doll.I glanced at Romulus and looked back at him, “Ma…Mathew had been in hospital today…” I could see Apollo staring at me calmly while I began talking, it made me more anxious, “… and Do-doctor said he needs rest… and…also said…he needs to be surrounded by his… his family… for him… to… to recover faster…” I said, he placed his hand under my
