The Urge To Gag!

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-04 05:43:21

I had not seen so much food in a long time.

The dinner was spontaneous—too lavish for my liking. To me, less was more.

I liked the warm feeling of the dim golden lighting on my skin, a long table set with cutleries next to each plate, and servers moving gracefully between guests.

Everything screamed busy.

I wished I could enjoy it.

Among the couples was her. Natalia.

Tall, blonde, and sculpted like a fitness goddess.

She was the kind of woman who could wear a potato sack and still look stunning.

She also had the kind of confidence that made other women shrink in her presence, except me though, I just liked her opinionatedness.

All through the dinner Pedro acted like I wasn't there with him and it was absolutely fine as I’d rather listen to Natalie than have an exchange with him.

I did not contribute to the conversation because I felt it was shallow, there were so many things to talk about at a dinner party, so why did it have to be a topic that most often time judged people on wha

    AUTHOR’S POV (THIRD PERSON POV)Tessa pulled the thin shawl tighter around her shoulders as she made her way back toward the mansion. It had begun to rain all of a sudden.The wind howled in her ears causing her to wince, whipping against her wet clothes as the rain poured down mercilessly.Just moments ago, she had managed to slip out of the suffocating dinner Pedro had dragged her to, she prayed her humiliation would wash off with the rain and she still the raw feeling of embarrassment from his careless remarks about her weight. But now, rain seemed determined to make her suffer even more. She hated the rains but they were a better company than kiki-ing with the other couples.She could hear heavy footsteps behind her, splashing through the puddles. She didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.“Tessa!

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   A Neccessary Betrayal Of Self

    Author’s POV (Third Person) Tessa sat stiffly in Pedro’s arms, listening to the wind whistle outside. The thunder rumbled again, but this time, it felt… distant. Less threatening. Or maybe it was because Pedro’s warmth dulled her fear. His arms were solid around her, his chest rising and falling steadily. She admitted how strangely she felt being comfortable in his arms. But right now, pressed against him, with the world outside experiencing a raging down pour, she could almost forget why. Pedro’s hand moved slightly, his fingers tracing slow circles on her back. The touch was absentminded, casual even, but it sent an unsettling warmth meandering through her stomach. “Better?” he asked softly. Tessa hesitated. “A little.” “You can admit when you need me, you know.” She scoffed, shifting slightly, but he didn’t let go still. “Don’t flatter yourself.” Pedro giggled. “You say that a lot.” “Because you always need to be reminded.” His grip on her waist tightened slightly

    He actually got a mouthwash?A small laugh slipped out before I could stop it. I struggled as I gasped for air.If only knew that whatever I said last night was out of anger and not necessarily true, and as the good person that I am, I felt a type of way.I had said it just to hurt him—to wipe that smug look off his face.I never expected him to actually do something about it.My fingers snaked around one of the bottles, turning it over in my hands. Peppermint flavour. Extra strength. Typical Pedro—if he was going to fix a problem, he would fix it with the most expensive solution money could buy.A faint smile tugged at my lips, but I quickly wiped it away.I refused to find anything about him excting.He was still the same arrogant bastard who had trapped me into this marriage. The same man who humiliated me in front of strangers and paraded me around like some exconvict.I couldn’t forget that.I wouldn’t even if I tried..But the second I turned toward the door, I felt it—His eyes

    Pedro’s POVI stood in the bathroom, my heart racing in my chest, I tried steadying my breath as they came in heavy, uneven gasps. That kiss was so good, I wished it did not stop.I could still feel the burning sensation of her slap on my cheek, no woman had dared to lift their hands at me, but rather than get angry for that slap, I notice a raging fire was burning between my legs.Her petite but fierce aura turned me the fuck on. Even as she stormed out, leaving me alone with my throbbing erection.When the sound of her retreating footsteps faded, my eyes dropped to the undeniable evidence of my rock hard dick, straining against my trousers.I let out a slow breath, my fingers vibrating slightly with desire as I reached down and unbuckled the hook and bar closure of my trousers. The moment I freed myself, I groaned, my dick standing proudly, heavy with demand for her sweet pussy.Her rejection only fueled my hunger for her.She had no idea what she was denying herself, no idea how

    Tessa’s POVI will never know what’s going on in Pedro’s mind and after our squabble that morning, I had perched at a corner of the houses, draped in just a towel, till it was afternoon.I did not have anything to wear. I had laundered the two pieces of clothing he had gotten me since we got here.I was going over the questionnaire again when Pedro asked me to throw on something and meet him in the car - we were going shopping.I point blank told him I didn't have what to wear, and that the facilities only offered branded nightwear in their closets. He asked me to wear them. Who on earth wears a nightie to a shopping mall?A billionaire’s wife, of course, was what he replied.Did I obey? Yes, I did.The boutique shone under the hot afternoon sun, its name was boldly embossed in gold lettering on the glass doors; “INDULGENCE AVENUE”. I could nearly feel the price tags of whatever they were selling mocking me before I even stepped inside.Pedro turned off the engine and glanced at me,

    My irritation flared. “Maybe because I was about to be dragged out like a common criminal.”Pedro’s eyes snapped back to the manager, and just like that, the air of control shifted. “Franco,” he said smoothly, his voice as cold steel, “get the owner on the phone. If this woman isn’t fired by the end of the day, shut this entire place down.”The manager choked on her next breath. “Mr. Pedro, please! I—I didn’t realise—”Pedro’s eyes shot fire at her. “You didn’t realise because you judged her the moment she walked in. You humiliated my wife in a store where I spend millions. And now you expect me to overlook that?”For the first time, the word “wife” sounded like a compliment but I wouldn't get ahead of myself, so I swallowed my humble pie and observed.The woman’s mouth opened and closed, but no words came out. I was sure the saliva in her guts and dried into a desert, silly thing.I, on the other hand, was still fuming. “And you,” Pedro turned to me now, his voice low, lethal, “why

    I glanced over my shoulder, meeting Pedro’s intense stare. A shrill of satisfaction coursed through me as I sipped. “Just looking for some good company,” I replied, my voice dripping with insinuation.Pedro’s stare was a searing brand against my skin. I could feel his attention pressing down on me as I leaned in closer to George, my fingers trailing lightly over his arm.“Tell me more about yourself, George,” I said, deliberately keeping my voice sultry.He smirked, sensing the game but willing to play along. “Wait a minute, are you trying to make the dude over there kill me? Is that your man?” He asked to my surprise.“Just play along” I said.“Well, I’m in finance. I travel a lot, but nothing beats moments like these—meeting a beautiful woman under the stars.”I let out a soft laugh, tilting my head just enough to give Pedro the perfect view of my excitement. “You flatter me.”Pedro’s presence loomed upon us before I even turned around.

    AUTHORS POV Don Pedro was all over her, Tessa.She was the center of his desires or whatever that had possessed him that night, that seemed to blind his ears to her pleas and his eyes with lust.His fingers running through her long, dark hair, and curves that made his mouth water in ways that reminded of his younger days. 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. "I have been starving myself of this and tonight I want it all""Please," she said, trying to take his hand away from her thigh.

    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

    AUTHORS POVThe atmosphere inside Regina's room changed from the moment Dame Rossa stepped inside; it was almost suffocating. And for seconds that slipped into minutes, Regina tried all she could to hold herself together. The ancient of days clock ticked away loudly in the background; for Regina, it was a painful reminder that time was slipping through her fingers and she needed to tell Pablo her truth.Dame Rossa sat beside Regina, her eyes darted around the room, softened with concern."My dear," she said, reaching out to pat Regina’s hand gently, "Pablo told me you have not been taking his calls."Regina blinked, feeling a strange chill wash over her. 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.

    AUTHORS POVTessa walked briskly through the long corridor; she didn't even wait for Pedro despite the fact that he had told her to wait. She just wanted to get to Regina as fast as she could. 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

    AUTHORS POV Tessa hurried back from the supermarket, clutching her handbag tightly, it had begin to drizzle in trickles. She was glad to have made it back it time just as the rain began to fall in small drops. Her mind was still reeling from the conversation with George, but she forced herself to stay composed. 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. Tessa swallowed her nerves and walked towards them, she hated the noise her heels made against the floor while she walked. As she got closer, she caught snipp

After the phone had rung twice, She glanced at the screen and froze.It was Regina.She answered immediately. “Regina?”On the other end of the line, Regina was crying so hard that Tessa could barely make out her words.“You didn’t reply my message,” Regina sobbed, voice breaking in between hiccups. “I sent you a message and you didn’t reply… you left me all alone.”Tessa’s chest tightened with guilt. She pressed the phone closer to her ear, standing up from her chair.“I’m so sorry, Regina,” she said gently. “I wasn’t near my phone.

    AUTHORS POV Regina sat on the edge of her bed, her fingers twisted tightly in her lap. The late afternoon light streamed through the curtains, casting a golden glow over her room, but she felt none of its warmth as nervousness and anxiety painfully seeped through her. Her heart pounded heavily against her ribs. She had rehearsed this conversation a hundred times in her head, but now that Franco was standing in front of her, smirking lazily as if he already knew what she was about to say, the words tangled on her tongue. She took a deep breath and forced herself to meet his eyes. “You have been silent since you called me here, it leaves me wondering what’s going on in your mind” he said dryly, running his fingers through his hair. “I’m pregnant,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. For a moment, Franco said nothing. His face held no facial expressions, and Regina clung to a shred of hope that he might reach for her, smile, tell her it would all be alright. Instead,

The sun beat down on the building, the air was sticky, and the workers moved with a sluggishness that mirrored Tessa’s heavy steps as they made a beeline for their respective duty post. Shortly after Jamie leaves for his desk, Tessa and Camila had barely settled at their desks when a sharp knock sounded on the glass door of their section. It was Andrew, one of Don Pedro’s personal messengers, standing stiffly with a small notepad in his hand. “Camila,” he said, his voice very formal. “The boss wants to see you. Right away.” Camila, who was just booting up her computer, slightly frowned and looked at Tessa. Tessa’s heart skipped oddly. “Why?” Tessa asked before she could stop herself. Andrew shrugged. “No idea. He just said to bring her.” Camila gave Tessa a reassuring little smile, smoothed her blouse, and stood up. “It’s probably work-related,” she muttered. “No big deal.” But Tessa’s stomach twist
