Now, Call Me Mother Chapter 9: The New Veronica
"Let’s stop wasting each other’s time, yeah? We have a massacre to prep for, and you’re standing here with a spatula."Flyn didn't wait for an answer. He hooked his arm through mine with a strength that belied his slender frame and dragged me out of the kitchen. Cresinta watched us go with wide, silent eyes, still clutching the crystal carafe like a holy relic.We bypassed the grand foyer and headed into a wing of the mansion I hadn't seen yet. Flyn pushed open a set of heavy, white-lacquered double doors, and my breath hitched.It was a cathedral of vanity. Floor-to-ceiling mirrors reflected a room packed with racks of designer silk, velvet, and leather. Rows of glass cases held diamonds that caught the dim morning light like frozen tears. A vanity table the size of a dinner table was covered in every cosmetic known to man.I felt a sudden, sharp pang of jealousy that tasted like ash. 'Is this for Meredith?' I wondered, my heart sinking.'Did he love her this much that he kept her th
Now, Call Me Mother Chapter 8: Adapting
The aftermath of the night was draped over every surface—shredded black silk, the lingering, heavy scent of woodsmoke, and the silver mask lying discarded on the plush carpet like a fallen, hollow idol.I lay awake, my eyes tracing the intricate moldings of the ceiling. My body felt heavy, marked by the possessive weight of a man who was, by every legal and biological definition, my father-in-law.I waited for the crushing wave of guilt to suffocate me. I waited for the phantom of Thaddeus to appear in the shadows, pointing a finger at the unfaithful wife who had committed the ultimate sacrilege. But as the minutes ticked by, the only thing I felt was a terrifying, crystalline sense of justice.How could I be unfaithful to a man who had appraised me like livestock? Thaddeus hadn't treated me like a wife; he’d treated me like a piece of inherited furniture he had grown bored of owning. He had sold me to cover a gambling debt, trading my dignity for a seat at a table. In the silence of
Now, Call Me Mother Chapter 7: The Man Behind the Mask
"Y-your face? You’re allowing me to see your face?"My voice was a fragile thing, barely a whisper that seemed to die before it could reach the vaulted ceiling of the suite. The air was still thick with the heat of our bodies, but a sudden, ancestral chill began to seep into the room. Maxwell didn't move. He sat on the edge of the bed like a dark, immovable monolith, his hand still hovering near the latch of his mask."I am allowing you to see the truth, Veronica," he rasped, his voice a low vibration that thrummed through the mattress. "But truths are like shadows—the brighter the light you throw on them, the deeper they stain."He didn't take the mask off himself. Instead, he reached out, his large, calloused hand enveloping my trembling fingers. His skin was scorching, a feverish contrast to the freezing silver he forced my hand to touch. My heart was a frantic bird trapped in my chest, each beat echoing the hollow silence of the room."Take it off," he commanded, his grip firm as
Now, Call Me Mother Chapter 6: Igniting Her Anger
The fire was dying, the last of the embers casting a deep, flickering crimson over the black silk of the bed. I lay there, my skin still sensitive from the weight of Maxwell’s body, feeling the heavy thud of the leather folder he had dropped onto the mattress. The heat of our intimacy hadn't even fully evaporated before the cold reality of the law was thrust between us.I reached out, my fingers trembling as I flipped the cover open. The documents inside were sterile, smelling of high-grade bond paper and the sharp, clinical scent of fresh ink. Seeing "Thaddeus Hudson" and "Veronica Marquez" printed on the same line for what I knew would be the last time felt like watching a ghost leave my body. For three years, those names together had been a cage. Now, they were just a smudge of black on a page that Maxwell had bought and paid for."Do you feel peace, Veronica?"Maxwell didn't move. He remained a dark, imposing silhouette at the edge
Now, Call Me Mother Chapter 5: Deflowered (R-18)
The fireplace crackled, casting long, flickering shadows across the black-canopied bed as Maxwell laid me onto the cool silk sheets. My body felt weightless, the black robe splaying open to reveal my damp, flushed skin. He stood over me, a dark silhouette against the moonlight, before slowly shedding his own robe. Even in the shadows, he was magnificent—a landscape of hard muscle and powerful lines.He didn't move toward me immediately; he just watched, his silver mask gleaming with a predatory light. The silence in the room was so thick it felt like a physical weight, broken only by the ragged sound of my own breathing."Tonight, Veronica," he rasped, his voice a low vibration that seemed to rattle my very bones, "you forget everything you think you know about being a woman. You forget the hands that didn't want you and the eyes that didn't see you."He moved to the foot of the bed, his large hands gripping my ankles and pulling me toward the edge with a sudden, authoritative jerk.
Now, Call Me Mother Chapter 4: Getting to Know Each Other
The massive wrought-iron doors of the Romanov estate groaned open like the jaws of a leviathan, swallowing us into a world of shadowed grandeur. Maxwell stepped out of the rain and into the foyer, his boots echoing against the black marble floors with a rhythmic, heavy finality. I was a broken bird in his arms, shivering and half-naked, the shredded lace of my gown a mockery of the frozen opulence surrounding us."Welcome home, Sir," a chorus of voices whispered in eerie unison.I flinched, burying my face into the crook of Maxwell’s neck as I realized a dozen servants were lined up in the periphery, their heads bowed. They were like marble statues, ghosts in a palace of glass. The shame of being carried like a prize, my skin still smelling of the limousine and his sweat, made my stomach turn."M-Maxwell, please... put me down," I whispered, my voice cracking with a desperate shyness. "They’re all looking... I can walk.""They aren't looking at anything unless I tell them to," he ra
