I glanced around in shock. My lips parted witnessing the sumptuous villa. It was mostly constructed with glasswork. My eyes stopped on a gargantuan glass wall. I could be on the other side of it. "It's a secret place. No one knows about it." He said, coming behind me. I could see his reflection through the glass wall. I touched the glass. But I was touching his reflection. I couldn't rein the strong feeling to touch him. "Thankfully no photographer and media," I spun, pushing my thoughts elsewhere. He pressed the button on a small remote control and gestured to me to glance back. I whirled on my heels and glanced at the wall. It began to part in two pieces, "How did you do it?" I asked him. I couldn't stay on my feet. I ran outside. My feet were buried in the sand. I laughed as I felt the sand beneath my feet. The sound of the tides and waves filling the air. Everything looked amazing. I didn't wait and rushed forwar
I wasn't expecting this kind of behavior from our families. Not a single word to him. No one even questioned him. Would they have welcomed me with so much warmth if it were my pictures? Hell! No! They must have lectured me about my Maidenhead, particularly my parents. Everybody's attention was flocked toward me. My father's glare stopped me. We looked like a perfect family from the outside but from the inside, I could see the difference clearly. I stared at the walls of his room. His parents and my parents acted as if nothing had happened. If it would be me instead of their son. Their gazes would have killed me. Their words would have stabbed me. "Grey color!" I heard my mother's cheerful voice. I could see some advice was going to come my way. I didn't wanna hear. It would only infuriate me. This room was massive with gray walls, dark furniture, a white marble floor, sheer curtains, and chandeliers above the set of gray couches. I hate his room, gray
Fame was a powerful thing. If it landed in the right hands, you could conquer the world. I was hearing her talking but I couldn't pay attention. My mind was somewhere else. He didn't come back to the room after my parents left. I did know where he spent his night, sleeping in another room or sleeping with another woman. I shouldn't care about him. He had paid off the loan, debt, and I must not forget, fifty percent partnership with my father in his business. Dad didn't mind as I'm his daughter and Edward is my husband, his son-in-law. Still, the nagging feelings couldn't be ignored. It hit me every second. I thought about contacting him many times. That would be a mistake. Perhaps, not. I shouldn't present myself to him. I should respect myself. She tapped on my shoulder, "Sienna, are you hearing me?" She raised her arched brows. Her fingers ran through her hair, showing her green-painted nails. She's wearing a white tight dress. She was a hottie. Her blue eyes sparkl
They’re a family heirloom. His ancestors earned the title hundreds of centuries ago. They ruled the noble community. My family is nothing compared to them. Doesn't he want to marry me? That would be the reason he would hire a girl to spend time with him. Things are getting complicated. I did not know what to do with us. A beep echoed in the room, grabbing my attention. I glanced at my phone. Aerial's message popped up on my screen. I swiped. 'Club, if you're not busy,' I immediately replied to her. I didn't wanna spend another night alone when I didn't know anything about him. I wanted to know desperately. Sometimes, I thought of losing control over myself and yelled out of my lungs. I didn't wait for her message. I grabbed a silver dress from the cupboard and sauntered to the washroom. I checked my reflection, there was sadness in my eyes but it wouldn't stay long, I checked my make-up, and ran my hand over my mini silver dress. Perfect
I threw a pillow at him in frustration. He caught it and put it down on the chair in front of the vanity. The corner of his lips curved in. He got back to his cufflinks. He was going to the office and I was staying behind at his English palace of royalty. It was just his other royal castle. My lips flattened in irritation. He slipped his arms in his coat. I was not bothered to be caught staring at him. He turned to me with a slight smile. He took my chin between his fingers and drew me up in a deep kiss. "Let me know if you have plans with your friend or anywhere." He whispered. His smile made my stomach flip. I hated that he could make me feel against my desire. "Or what?" I pressed my lips together more firmly. "I'll put guards around you," He straightened his back. "What!" A pounding headache was pressing against my temples, I rubbed my fingers over my temple, "That's insane," It was quite exasperating. No one c
At noon, I almost convinced him that I was feeling better and that he didn't need to be with me. It was an impossible job. But, he was convinced only to leave his guards behind. "Give me a call and I'll be on my way back to you," He said. Concern still clung to his handsome features. I nodded. He pulled me into a kiss. He made me feel alive. He got on his feet and did his cuffs. He grabbed his coat. My eyes never left him. He leaned as he kissed my cheek and turned to the door. A second later he was gone, tears lashed my eyes fiercely. He seemed icy at first, now he seemed more than anything. I didn't wanna name it love. I had feelings. The day wouldn't be far when I couldn't live without him. I slithered my hands on my cheeks. I sighed in defeat. I was pushing myself into a deep dark well. There was no way to come out. I felt a twinge of fear as my thoughts kept dragging me deep. 'Should I tell him? No! I shook my head. He would laugh at me.
We stood side by side, "Tell me. He wouldn't find me a husband." She said, scowling. She was looking scared. I filled my lungs inhaling deeply and breathed out slowly, "He won't." I said but I wasn't sure. She didn't need to panic over her thoughts. "I did want to deal with anything right now," She said. Suddenly, she looked exhausted. I couldn't decipher the abrupt change in her behavior. Yes, she must be upset but not so sad and frightened. There could be only one reason behind her fear. She liked someone. I dragged her in, "You have me, dear sister," I told her. She wasn't around when they dropped the bomb on me. I was content with my life now. But I could never push the dread of losing him. She smiled beautifully when I addressed her sister. She curled her arm around my shoulder and pulled me inside, "Yes, sister," She nodded. We walked through the house, wandering our gazes around but Uncle was nowhere to be seen, "Uncle, we're hom
I stayed in the office. I never hoped things would change so suddenly and fully. I wanted to stay with him. I needed some alone time to understand myself, and my feelings for him. I didn't wanna stay in doubt. I wanted to be sure. Trish's smile was idiotic on her face when Aerial told her about Edward's offer and her promotion, she deserved this. She's been with us from day one of our hotels. I glanced down at my ring. I kept telling myself to stay away from him, I couldn't ignore the pull toward him, it could be because I hadn't dated anyone. I did not know. I wanted time alone or away from him. I had told myself many times that anything between us could never work out, but I couldn’t seem to control myself around him. He felt like a magnet. I wanted to be with him. It could be bad or good. Only the future held the key to my answers. "We have Trish cover for us. What's you say? We should help Mom and Andria. They would like it," Aerial said wal
