last update Last Updated: 2025-04-03 00:53:17

Dinner was ready!

The Long tables were dressed in immaculate white cloth, adorned with fine china and silver wares, freshly plucked fruits in between.

At the head of the table sat Dame Rossa, and to her right, Regina was seated, their expressions stern, unassuming and watchful as they awaited Don Pedro’s arrival.

At that moment, the doors swung open.

Don Pedro strode into the room looking tired and weary. He had being busy and about. He glanced around, his eyes narrowing slightly at the dinner table . “Is there a feast going on?” he asked in a measured tone, his voice carrying both amusement and expectation.

“I ask because Regina never eats at the dinning table but in her room, it has to be a feast” he added wryly.

Dame Rossa, seated at the far end, fixed him with a cool stare. “Don Pedro, do take a seat and join us for dinner,” she commanded. “I want us all to sit together this evening.”

Pedro paused at the entrance. He cleared his throat and replied, “I’m not hungry actually

    “Tessa, kindly Leave the serving to the chef. You are too clumsy for such delicate work,” Dame Rossa said, her voice icy and as a matter of factual. Tessa stopped, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. “I’m trying,” she protested softly. “Enough please, I dont want to loose my appetite,” Dame Rossa snapped. She cleared her throat and then addressed the entire table, her voice rising in a commanding tempo. “The purpose of this dinner is to have a heart-to-heart while we enjoy a proper meal as it appears that all we do is eat. With all of this generational wealth, all we do is eat—but not once have any of you children of my late brother and his wife in blessed memory, thought about preparing for the future. How will you produce the next generation if you never care to bear children?” A unassuming silence swept across the table. Dame Rossa’s gaze landed on Regina. “Regina, tell me, has your womb turned to rocks? Are you unable to have children, or are you simply unlucky at finding

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   The Most Painful Part

    AUTHOR’S POV If anybody told Tessa that her life would turn around, that it would go from her being ordinary to being the reluctant wife of an elite billionaire, she would not have believed it. She would not have believed that she would be doing marriage with a man she barely knew anything about, that Sergio could be gay, and worst part, a coward for giving up on their love so easily. It had been 3hrs into the night from the disastrous dinner and she was restless, pacing around, sulking and trying to fall asleep to at least rest and clear her head. But it was impossible to sleep. Tessa had been awake for the 3 hours, the thin blanket barely enough to keep the chill at bay or the fever brewing inside her. She could hear muffled sounds, probably from busy maids and active bodyguards—their distant conversations, and she envied them, she envied that they shared a familiarity that afforded them room to converse, chit chat and socialise why she had to sulk in her room. It was r

    AUTHORS POV It was past 11pm, and the lorenzo mansion had settled into silence except for the patrol guards and security dogs hovering around under the floodlight poles. The only sounds in Don Pedro’s bedroom were the faint rustling of bed sheets and the soft creak of the bed as Tessa moved around it, touching it. The scent of his cologne lingered in the air, it was his room after all, what was it suppose to smell like? Fresh night breeze drifted in from the open balcony doors, except for the curtains that separated the balcony from the room.. Franco and his men had just finished moving her belongings into the room, and now that she was alone, so she thought, she looked around to see how she can make out her own space, somewhere to set up her own mirror and wondered at the possibility of sharing a room with her environmental hazard of a husband. She stood still in the centre of the room, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, her eyes darting between the enormous bed and

Franco moved with deliberate stealth toward Regina’s door, almost like he was ghost walking, fast. He must not be seen, so he looked around every second as he walked.His knock was light but insistent; he prayed the echoes were not loud enough to wake anybody up.First knock. No answer.Second.The third.Moments later, the door creaked open, and Regina’s eyes flashed open in alarm. “Franco, why are you here, knocking without calling first?” She demanded; a tremor of surprise and a little bit of irritation tailed her voice.Before he could respond, Regina’s fierce gaze softened as she pulled him inside and shut the door.Franco raised his hands in apology, settling them on her shoulders. “I’m sorry

    AUTHOR’S POV It was barely 6:30 a.m. when Tessa stirred from her sleep, she felt dry in between. The early morning sun was quite mild as it filtered through the white curtains from the balcony, casting a soft gold beam across Don Pedro’s bedroom. She turned slowly, careful not to wake him. He was still asleep, splattered around his side of the bed like a piece of used handkerchief, in split seconds, his face turned slightly to the side, he looked calm, and innocent, his breathing steady. For a moment Tessa thought about how innocent he looked while he slept, yet the amount of wickedness residing inside him was one only God could cleanse. She got out of bed without a sound and padded barefoot across the room to the closet. She managed to create her closet from his vast closet. She showered, hoping the sounds of running water would not wake him up. After showering, with a towel strapped around her chest, she went to see if Pedro was awake, he wasn't - he was still very much sleeping

His gaze found Tessa immediately. “Oh, darling, there you are,” he said, lips pursed. “Don Pedro is here.” Tessa flickered, a bit startled. She didn’t expect him to be here so fast. “He’s what?” Jaime nodded, leaning against the wall with flair. “He’s in his office. He wants to see you. Now. And he doesn’t look happy.” Camila’s eyes widened. “Tessa what did you do?” she whispered. Tessa felt her heart thud. She stood slowly, straightening her blouse. “I’ll be back.” As she walked past Jaime, he gave a dramatic sigh. “Good luck. If anyone needs me, I’ll be by the coffee machine… .” Back at her desk, Camila sniffled one last time, dabbing her eyes with a tissue. She glanced at Jaime, who was still leaning lazily against the wall. “Jaime, please,” she called softly, “can you get me a cup of coffee?” He b

He had just watched Regina walk away with Pablo, calling him “daddy” with a softness he hadn’t heard in weeks. Something inside him twisted—not just from jealousy, but from guilt. Still, he had a duty to fulfil. He swiped across Pedro’s contact and pressed the phone to his ear. The line rang twice before Pedro picked up. “Franco,” Pedro’s voice came sharp, impatient. “I’m in a meeting. What is it?” Franco hesitated for a beat. The next words needed to come out right. “Sir, it’s about Madam Tessa.” There was a pause, short but heavy. “What about her?” Pedro asked, his voice lowering. “She was rushed to St. Monterrey General Hospital earlier this morning,” Franco replied steadily, keeping his tone calm. “Regina found her in bed, feverish, pale, and barely responsive. She looked… very unwell. We didn’t want to waste time, so

    AUTHORS POV Tessa stirred under the weight of her own body. Her limbs ached as though she had wrestled with something invisible all through the night. Like she had been mashed into an aching pulp by a speeding truck. Pedro had really fucked the hell out of her because he made love to her all night and she just simply let him. Her vagina ached the most, the lining of her pussy lips felt like it had been bruised, it felt so sore, like it had been chewed to a paste and spat out. Her nipples were painful, and had intense burning sensations around her areola. He had literally ravished her. Ravish was the word. He had ravished every nook and cranny of her body till there was nothing left but sweet pain and extreme exhaustion. A sharp wave of nausea climbed up her throat. She groaned, clutching her stomach as the dizziness intensified. The room spun. The morning sunlight bleeding through the curtains felt too bright, her pillow smelt of pedro, it was suddenly too str

He couldn't help but stare at her for a few minutes even though she resisted him."Please stop pedro," she moaned, her eyes flicking over his muscular shoulders, hoping he listened. "You’re hurting me, please stop""I’m sorry I can’t help that you are driving me nuts tonight," he replied, extending a hand down her thighs.

    AUTHOR’S POV Tessa sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling as she counted in her head, how much time she had so she could go check on Regina. The silence in her room was too loud. The shadows cast by the bedside lamp stretched across the walls like silent watchers, the shadow reflection of other objects the room looked like they were whispering loudly, echoing the weight in her chest. Her mind kept replaying George’s words from earlier at the supermarket, and every time, they struck a nerve she’d tried so hard to numb. Her ringed finger throbbed with guilt. The blood diamond sparkled none the less. For a second she wondered who she was, questioned who she had become over the last few months that seemed to drag on forever. She used to be fierce and quick minded, how did she become so soggy? Could it be Aunt Norah’s absence? She thought. So what would become of me if she was actually no more? Become any mans puppet? Talk more of a man like pedro? Her pho

Had she?It struck her then — the last few days and hours had been a haze. The pain, the shame, and the constant battle with herself had consumed her so much that she hadn’t noticed the persistent beeping of her phone. She had unknowingly, absentmindedly ignored him."I'm so sorry," Regina whispered, looking down at her lap, ashamed.

Her heart felt heavy in her chest as she approached Regina’s room, like a gloomy pendant hung over her neck. She paused for a brief moment at the door, took a deep breath, then quietly turned the knob and stepped inside.The room was dimly lit, the curtains drawn shut. Regina was curled up in one corner of her bed, her small frame almost swallowed by the large, plush duvet. She looked so fragile, so unlike her usual lively self, that Tessa’s heart clenched painfully. The evil men do to women, she said in her mind.Tessa closed the door softly behind her and approached the bed. “Regina…” she called gently, sitting at the edge of the mattress. “Have you eaten anything today? Or at least had some vegetables? You need to keep yourself nourished, for your sake and the baby’s.”Regina stirred, her fac

She had barely stepped onto the steps of the office building when she spotted Pedro standing just outside the glass doors, deep in conversation with three well-dressed men. Her jaws dropped. They were all laughing, their expensive suits seemed unruffled under the soft evening breeze the rain brought with its fall. Tessa paused for a heartbeat, considering slipping around the side entrance to avoid them. But Pedro’s sharp eyes had already caught her. “Ah, here she is,” Pedro said with a proud smile, beckoning her over.
