LOGINThe Mercedes is patiently waiting outside. I steal a glance at the car from my room's floor-to-ceiling window. A young guy, probably in his late twenties, leaning on the beautiful black and white Mercedes. Every single car in this house is so fucking classic and expensive. Some cost way more than our old apartment and I'm quite appalled by this level of wealth. I make my way down the hallway, intent on peeking in a few roomsand finding the best place to camp in other than my room. I'm starting to get bored of it already. My Christian Louboutin heels click against the marble floors of the stairs. How I love my fashion sense. It makes me look so legendary and definitely not like my problems.The driver opens the rear door like a literal professional. Well you need not to be a professional before you can open a car door I guess, but this is slightly different. Like he's been used to this for quite a long while. "Dr. Hart.""Hand me the keys please" I let out my hand hanging in the air
I'm avoiding him. I think Maya knows. She refills my coffee without a word. Her judgemental eyes says everything. I'm being childish. I'm suddenly running and hiding from a man who lives in the same house as me. It sounds funny, even to me too, but I don't care.Last night he had me trembling, aching desperate for his body against mine, then he walks away, and I hate him for it. Hate that I wanted him to yearn for him as much as I did. I hate that I'm still thinking about his hard cock against me, his beautiful lips entwined in mine.My thoughts were starting to drift into somewhere forbidden, the urge starting to grow a little too sinful when the sound of my phone yanking shattered the tension."Good day Mrs Selene.” A woman's voice sounded from my phone. Her voice sounding professional and a little too polished to be true. "This is Claire, Mr. Wolfe's assistant. He'd like to see you at his office, preferably at noon. A car has been arranged to bring you to him. Do have a great day
The penthouse is bathed in amber light. The city below us glittering like scattered diamonds. He’s at the window when I step into his study, a glass of amber liquor hanging loose in his hand like it’s nothing special. Later I’ll remember that the bottle costs more than most people’s rent for a year. Right now, all I can see is him. The light spills across his shoulders, catching the steel of his watch, and it's glinting along the sharp line of his jaw. His shirt is open at the collar, a few more buttons are undone, revealing his chest and a tattoo I can't quite see from here. It looks so alluring though. His sleeves are pushed up, his forearms flexed as he rests one hand against the glass.I walk gently to his chair from behind, I'm literally trying so hard so he won't notice my presence. I have no intentions to scare him though, I definitely have no reason being mysterious. He hands me a glass, the glass in his hand hanging in the air like he had already seen me walking the whole t
The elevator door opens, letting me out to the house and to the parking lot of this beautiful penthouse. Damien is standing close to the black SUV in his jeans and leather jacket. “Hi,”he says, and his face lights up with a radiant smile. I take a moment to admire this pretty. Oh my he's extremely hot in leather. “Morning pretty Lin” he says, letting out a wide grin. I really try to suppress the blush forming in my cheeks. He always really gets me with that pet name. “You look gorgeous baby. Perhaps you should be arrested for looking this good” we both let out a laugh. “Thanks Damien.”Damien opens the passenger-side door to the black Audi SUV, and I clamber in. It’s a beast of a car. The engine starts and he reverses the car out of his space in the parking lot. He switches on the sound system as he starts to drive. The interior of the car is just extraordinary. The sweetest and enchanting music of two talented female singers fills the car. God damnit, all my senses are in disarray
I can't sleep. The numbers on the clock mock me. 2:47 AM. I've been staring at the ceiling for three consecutive hours and his words won't stop echoing in my head. "I get to watch Xavier Adrian realize that the woman he thought he destroyed, is sitting next to her husband.” God. Such manner of authority and possessiveness. I press my thighs together. This is insane. I give up. I throw off the covers and walk up to the wardrobe made in expensive wood and glass. At the side is an ethereal book shelf, carefully selected and stacked in a precise order. Oh, if only he knows how much I love books, he'd buy a full national library just for me.I pull on a robe that's definitely his, not even minding the color or style. Made of pure silk, expensive, probably costs more than my first car. Smells exactly like him. I shouldn't wear this. I did anyway.The entire house is dark except for one light, which was slightly far from my room. It looked like the door was slightly opened,revealing the
Maya had lunch waiting by the time I returned to the penthouse. Grilled salmon, avocado and a side of something green I pretended to be grateful for, and strong coffee she'd made without being asked. She had a way of doing that; anticipating the precise shape of what you needed before the need had even fully formed in your own mind. It was a skill that had nothing to do with employment and everything to do with the kind of woman she was.“Aria asked about you again this morning," Maya said, setting down the coffee with quiet pride and a bright smile that reached her eyes. "She wants to know if the pretty lady in the penthouse is a princess."I smiled around the rim of my cup. "Tell her I'm working on my crown and she'd soon have to spend a day with the princess she saw.” Maya laughed softly and excused herself, and the penthouse returned to its vast, elegant silence. I sat at the dining table holding the contract file Damian had placed in my bag. I looked at the documents, completel
Unknown number:“I just saw what happened. I'm sorry. No one deserves that. Especially after losing your baby a few days ago”~ D.W“Who the fuck are you?” I type with my trembling hands on my already cracked screen. “Someone who's been watching. Someone that knows who Aurora is. Look out your wind
I didn't go to the car. Not that day. Not the next. Not even for the seven days that stretched like open wounds bleeding and refusing to heal. The contract sat on my hospital bed like a viper. Deadly, waiting to sting. MARRIAGE CONTRACT Two words that taste like salvation and damnation fuc
“Your medical hearing's been extended." Damian wasn't looking at me. Again. "Sixty days instead of twenty-eight." I wanted to laugh. Or maybe scream, it was hard to tell which anymore."So that's it? That's why we're…” I gestured vaguely at the car, the driver, the entire situation"...running?"
Jade was already waiting when I walked through the gym doors at 9:07 AM. I could swear that she was ready to murder me, bury me in broad daylight and still blame the sun for daring to shine. She was standing with both her arms folded, one brow climbing to her hair line in such a precise way that t
