She entered the kitchen to a sight which she had never expected.Aslan had an apron around his waist and was cooking. There were boiled eggs, poached eggs, omelet, pancakes, croissant which she knew was not something he could cook. Fresh hot coffee was brewing and he was squeezing orang

Elena’s POV Half an hour ago They were in the limo, drinking champagne and singing loudly with Britney Spears. It was fun. Elena had never felt this alive before. Apart from Bella, she never had any friends. She was too busy building her life and than her husband’s home. In this moment, she felt truly alive. When they arrived at Lucci’s, Violet led them to the bar. The bartender was a bulky guy with a ponytail. He was as fast as lightning. Sienna flirted with him and rest of them sipped on their drinks, enjoying their to and fro cheesy lines. “So what are you girls up to tonight?” He asked when Sienna finally let him look at the others.. “Oh, our friends here have never been to a strip club. Can you believe that? So, we are here to have some fun.” Violet beamed. “What’s going on over there?” Elle pointed at a table which was more crowded than others. “Oh, it’s one of our regular customers. Comes here almost daily. Naples only performs for him. I wish I could suggest the table to
Aslan’s POVShe was so silent and lost. He knew he was harsh on her. He had not planned things this way, but those bastards messed up everything. He wanted to propose her more romantically. Not that he was ready for rejection, but he would have handled it better if it had not been for those fuckers.He increased the heat in the car because she was shivering. Why was she so silent?“Why you had to be bossy?” His heart asked him.“What? She wouldn’t have accepted. Bossy or no bossy.” His mind always talked to the point.He was ready to accept it. Yeah, he was in love with her. So much that he didn’t want to let her go out of his life even for a second, but how to make her understand this?He had never felt such strong emotions. The urge to hold her, protect her, and love her and keep her away from all those who could hurt her, including her family and John. He so wanted to hold her in his arms and scream at the top of his lungs that he loved her.“Then what’s stopping you?”His heart co
Author’s POVAslan made his way to his jet and settled down. He was going to a meeting at the publication office. He was going through the file but her face was all he could recall.If it had been any other woman, she would have accepted his proposal in a nanosecond, but it was Elena. The stubborn woman who had the audacity to look offended by his proposal. Why? He was offering her everything. He was Aslan Parker. He was loaded and being his wife meant having the world at her feet. But she was thinking about something else and not the fact that she will get the name Parker. She will be his wife, his better half, and his world. He considered her his world. He knew he was in love, and even though he was restraining himself from saying it to her, deep down he was excited by the whole idea of getting married to her.He tapped into the software and traced her location. She was still home.He was flying to New Haven as that’s where his publishing house was located. Aslan was 19 when he had sav
Author’s POVHe saw her silent figure and tried to calm himself down. “It’s ok, Aslan, she is here. You didn’t lose her. She is right here.” He repeated to himself.But does that mean that he was not going to punish her? No way. Every mistake earns a punishment. She definitely deserves one. One that would warn her enough.Elena couldn’t dare to sleep. There was soft music playing in the car but his face kept reminding her that the night was far from over and there was something on his mind. May be a new way to punish her? But she didn’t regret running away. She had to try, even if she failed. The marriage was still a month away, she had time.After driving for more than three hours, Elena saw a distant place in the dark. It looked like a warehouse which was not even enlightened. She panicked. Is he going to kill her and leave her body here?He saw her panic. Good. She should be scared. He stopped the car at the entrance and got out. She was reluctant to accept his hand but he didn’t min
Author’s POVHe woke up and stretched his muscles. The beauty beside him was sleeping peacefully. There were still five minutes to his alarm. He bent down and kissed her soft lips. She moaned and his cock twitched. He removed the duvet and her perky breasts revealed themselves. He blew air on her nips and they hardened. He took it into his mouth and rolled his tongue around it. When she didn’t stir, he used his teeth and she groaned in her sleep.He took another one in his mouth and did the same.Elena knew what was going on. Almost every morning was same these days. It had been almost a week since his proposal and she had accepted it with a heavy heart.As he bit her, she couldn’t stay still. She groaned and felt his smile against her skin. Every time he touched her, she would spark up. Like his touch was a magic. She so wanted to detest him, but one touch and she knew she would melt, like she did just now, when his hands grabbed her tits, and kneaded them, and he placed open mouthed
Author’s POVHe was in his study, on his third stiff drink and still so much conscious. He had no idea why Elena wanted to meet his family. Could she not just live peacefully with him? Why does she want the entire package?“Because she is a good woman who understands the importance of family unlike you who doesn’t value family.” His heart scolded.“He already knows that family is nothing but a farce.” He thanked his mind for defending him.“Maybe she doesn’t think so?”“If she doesn’t, she is a fool as her family has proved him right.”He thought about her family and his anger resurfaced. They had made her cry and in return, he will make them cry. The glass shattered with the force and his hand started bleeding as the shards cut deep into his hand but he was far from feeling any pain.Elena looked at herself in the mirror. Aslan had chosen an off-white georgette dress for her. It was plain, full- sleeved, maxi dress. It’s like he wanted to cover her up. She was looking like a Britis
