CHAPTER THIRTEEN: HE LOVES BLACKROSE AMARA POVOne of the few occasions when drinking was worthwhile. But this is a whole different circumstance. I'm the kind of person who, to some extent, loses control when intoxicated.I don't allow myself to get to this point because of it. I've been to this place before and was so wasted that I couldn't even leave the place. It was one of those evenings where I wanted something to distract me because it got to be too much. I didn't anticipate what I saw in the club that evening.Shaking his head, Ethan. "Told you, you're a lightweight."I again shook the empty bottle in his face, saying, "I am not, your asshole… I have completed it all. Many thanks."I squint as Ethan exits and I look around the strange location he took me to. We are surrounded by tall trees on all sides. On my right, there is a house that resembles a cottage, and in the distance, water glistens.That's odd—is that a lake?Ethan unlocks my door and removes my seatbelt. I raise m
CHAPTER FOURTEEN: TEMPTATION BEGINS ETHAN POVRose vowed to kick me in the balls, so I fully expected that. I'm ready to grab her knee already. Drunk Rose looks at me with sadness in her eyes and points with a sharp edge at my chest.I'm not sure why I let her get intoxicated in the first place, given that I knew she would become even more erratic and liberated after consuming alcohol. On the way here, I catch a glimpse of the carefree young woman she was when her mother was a girl who didn't give a damn about social conventions or what people thought of her.She asks, not attempting to get her wrists out from under my hold, "Why do you know I like black?""Do you think that just because I left, I forgot?"She slams her eyes shut hard before saying, "You should. That's how it's supposed to be."Before opening them once more. Her lower lids are wet this time. I wiped her eyes with my finger, claiming her tears as my own. Everything she has will now belong to me, even her wrath, tears,
CHAPTER FIFTEEN: BLAME IT TO THE WATERROSE AMARA POVMy eyes flutter open as right slaps me in the face. Someone shut off the lights. When a sharp pain develops in the back of my head."I didn't know you swung that way," he said.I pause as I hear a loud voice coming from my right. It's not far. Too near, as if…Oh, God.My head is indeed resting on a firm bicep as I gently look up. Ethan's. My voice rises as I struggle against my headache to ask."What the hell are you doing in my room?"He lifts my hand, revealing the diamond ring on my finger and the band around his, saying, "You are in my room, Princess."Those rings. the wedding. the assault. My head swings and everything smacks back into me. Oh my god. F*ck. On the night of our wedding, I binge-drank with
CHAPTER SIXTEEN: PRINCESS PUNISHMENT?ROSE AMARA POVI close my eyes and lean against the wall to block out whatever is going on inside of me. I try to divert my thoughts by imagining what I will do today, including checking on the house, reading reports, speaking with Hades about the attack and making a plan to know who is all behind this.A hand wraps around my throat from behind as a hot body looms at my back. Eyes widening, I gulp on the water but make no attempt to move.I can't.I am unable to move a single muscle because they are all tense. "You might as well save your energy next time," he said, "because I'll barge through any door you lock."My chest heaves as I sense something challenging and ready at the crack of my ass as he presses his hips forward.He splits my ass cheeks and asks, "Now, about th
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: PUNISHMENT IT ISROSE AMARA POVIt's a sex toy.I gave the object in Ethan's hand a blank stare. The first time, I didn't see it incorrectly. The odd shape has a long end and a short one. I have no idea what that is, because I have never really used vibrators and have always been comfortable using just my own fingers.I only know that there is no way that device will ever come close to me.I try to push Ethan away, but he easily holds me imprisoned between his legs with his hard grip around my waist, saying, "You're out of your mind if you think I will let you use that thing on me."“It's the punishment you requested, even though you will enjoy it, so it's not really a punishment.”He runs his finger along my side while his lips twitch at the corner. It nearly feels as though he is caressing me directl
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: SOMETHING MOVESROSE AMARA POVIt is not desired to enter the residence oddly. Ethan forced changes into me with each stride I took, causing friction that I wished to think was terrible but not. We made a detour at the mall because I did not intend to let anyone see me without makeup or wearing some clothes. Dirty clothes. My hair is now wrapped back in a bun, with makeup, and wearing a short dark gray dress. Even a heavy foundation couldn't hide the hickey on my neck, which had turned dark blue, so I had to get a set of necklaces.When I approached Ethan outside, he gave me an irritated look. What right does he have to treat me that way after the excruciating pain he's giving me with the toy?"Something bothering you, Princess?" It takes everything I have not to whip around and slap him across the face to get rid of that arrogant tone. He is having a great time torturing me."Away from me," he said."No, that won't do. Remember, we got married yesterday."Why did
CHAPTER NINETEEN: OH NO!ROSE AMARA POVMy eyes fluttered at Ethan across the table as they widened. Although there is no noise, stimulation is undoubtedly present, and he certainly contributed to this by sitting with one hand holding a drink and the other tucked under the table.In seconds, my underwear feels drenched, and any wriggling simply worsens the friction.Nathan notices the fidgeting and asks with real concern, "Are you okay?"I hope he does not inform me that something reddened my face.I mumbled, "I-I'm fine," with some embarrassment.Ethan pretends to be very interested in Father despite my attempts to meet his eyes. Even as he speaks, his angular features remain calm and carefree.I added to make sure of it that Min Hao hasn’t had stronger relationships with the Yakuza than anyone here, and they seemed to be convinced.I try to concentrate on him rather than the buzzing inside of me, but the stimulation makes it nearly difficult. It feels like Ethan has his fingers insi
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: PLAN BETHAN'S POVHades is down there in his automobile, I discover. As I go in close behind him, he raises his chin in greeting. But we need to go straight away. He checks the window to make sure all of his guards are posted.Given that he is reputed to be cautious, it is not surprising. Thanks to his quiet strategic nature, he is one of the strongest, if not the deadliest, cornerstones of the Company.He inquires, "Where are your guards?"I don't require them.His bright grey eyes had a slight flicker. A gloomy, foggy sky mutes them, but they are fierce, complicated, and ruthless. It's odd how they enhance his brutal nature. Though he doesn't frequently display it, the game is finished when he does.He stands apart from the other leaders in terms of appearance. His beard and jet-black hair are al
