DENVERIโm almost clenching the phone in my hands as soon as she breaks down in tears.I regret taking the call, but I needed to know what she was so scared of all of a sudden.I needed to know why she wasnโt taking the call. It was about her parents, and it was a failed research project, but there is more to it. She is probably not saying it; her tremors prove that there is more, but I canโt bring her to point it out to me.She looks terrible after the call ends, as if she should disappear off the surface of the earth. The more I stare at her, the more she wants to bury herself.She has been keeping them from me, and they are the reason she has been having nightmares and inner tremors.โYou are looking for your parents. Why didnโt you say it all these while?โ I clench my fists, not at all mad at her. Iโm mad at the state sheโs in now, as if sheโs seeing a ghost right in front of her.โWhat would you have done? I donโt tell anyone; I keep it to myself because nobody cares to know. Ben
ANASTASIAI sense danger.I mean, the more time I spend with Denver, the more intense my feelings for him are. And if he should decides to leave me, my heart will probably stop working.I should probably stop, take a deep breath, and think. This is temporary; this is not my home, and one day I might not be here anymore.How the fuck will I cope if he leaves me? Iโm afraid my feelings are spiraling out of control. Iโm afraid that one day all these will just be gone in a flash, as if they never existed. As if I never had the most beautiful moment with Denver. As if he didnโt fuck me so well and in different places.He fucked me in a club bathroom, and thatโs another record-breaker I should tick off on my to-do list.Thereโs so much more to do, so much on my list of desires, and is it so bad that I want to do all of it with him? Someone who isnโt mine, but I badly want him to be mine and mine alone.I used to believe I could share him with Sandra, but, heck no, it's different now. I donโ
ANASTASIASomeone should catch me because Iโm about to fall to my death. My heel twisted as the bone in my knees went dead.My legs are wobbling as I see her. Itโs not the first time I've seen her; itโs probably the third time. She is the kickass woman with a lot of fans on social media; sheโs the ultimate stylish woman with an undying love for fashion.She appears classy and elegant in her tailored beige dress and her black high heels. Her brown hair is gathered in a neat twist, and her light eyes are set in a serene fashion.She is like an idol to most young females, apparently because of her lifestyle, and maybe because she is the wife of a billionaire as well. But thatโs not the issue now. What is she doing here?I hold the wall for support, and thatโs when she looks at me. That is when she notices me, and that is when he also takes his eyes off his computer and pierce into mine.โMy goodness, are you okay?โ She jumps out of the couch and runs to hold me by my arms, literally tryi
DENVERโIโm surprised you survived her trouble. So she finally admitted to the lesbianism shit?โ I bite my lips at Bennett's words, and he keeps laughing, making fun of Sandraโs exposed secret.Well, it wasnโt a secret to Bennett. He was the only one who knew I was tracking her, hacking her phone, and seeing all the shit she had been doing. He hates her for her attitude as well.I told Bennett about everything that happened in my office, but I never mentioned Anastasia. I would never mention her to him because I do not want her in the picture. I also donโt want him asking about her, so I tell him about the issue in some sort of way, cropping Anastasia out of it."What are you going to do about the fact that she is accepting the lesbianism shit?โ Bennett pauses for my reply, but I donโt even know what to say to that because my brain has stopped functioning since I asked Anastasia to leave.I still canโt stop thinking that she kicked Sandra out of the office. Fuck, itโs no joke; she tr
DENVERโ Fuck!!โ I put her gently aside and ran to get the first-aid box. Her hand is bleeding, and every fleshy part of her palm is bleeding.She uses the same hands she uses to play the guitar, and I see her blood all over the strings too. Fuck, she played till her hand began to bleed.Her palm is terribly sore, and I want to fucking punch myself for it. Why will she hurt herself because of me?Anastasia doesnโt joke with these hands; she loves to play the guitar, and now sheโs ruined it. If she has access to her brain, she would recall that she canโt do without playing the guitar; itโs her medicine, and if she doesnโt play it for a day, she will likely fall sick.I curse under my breath as I bring out the kits and hop into the bed beside her. I press on the cotton on her palm, and I know it burns because her forehead folds up in pain as well as her lashes fluttering in panic.โShh, just for a while. Itโs only going to burn for a while.โ I blow in some air from my mouth, and she fuc
DENVERโYou need to relax, Ana; your hand hurts.โ I warn because I can still see some blood stains on the bondage, and the sight of them makes me flinch.She doesnโt. But I'm the one who flinches because I can't stand her being in pain, and I hate to see blood, not to talk of seeing hers.She is all over me now, as if my presence is the better pill she needs to have. Her face is all gloomy as she smiles playfully, wrapping her tiny arms around my slim waist.โI donโt ever relax around you. I always want to be all over you. Everywhere and anywhere.โ She sticks her tongue out and rolls it around my ear. What the fuck? My dick has been semi-hard since her warm breath slammed on the skin of my neck.โAnd do you think itโs safe for you?โShe digs her tongue deeper into my ear, and I let a soft grunt out of my chest. Sheโs waking my demon up, and itโs going to be unsafe for her.โAnything is safe with you, Denver. Iโm safe with you, and I can swear on it." She kisses with the softness of
ANASTASIAโCome with me to the court.โ Thatโs what he said as soon as he walked out of the bathroom.And my lazy ass still remains in bed, yawning the fuck out because last night was hectic with the whole sexual activity.โTo the court? And why?โ I frown as soon as my eyes are clearly open and I can stare at the wetness of his skin. The way the water drops from his masculine arm down to his six abs.I tear my eyes off his chest because he mustn't notice how Iโm staring at him. It might not go well; he will probably give me another round, and my pussy canโt take it now. He fucked me so fucking hard last night that I need a few hours to recover from it.โYes, I have a case to handle for my client, and you are coming with me. Itโs part of your intern training, so you know how itโs done by the best attorneys.โ He takes out a sharp black suit from his closet, and I drop out of bed right away to help him dress up.โOh, thatโs crazy. Are you sure you can handle the case if Iโm present in the
ANASTASIAโWe are not going home; I have a better plan.โ He says as he stares into my eyes, his anger wearing off immediately.โ Okay?โ I bite my lower lips, then release them.My heart skips a beat because Denver has plans for us. Yes, we live together, cook, eat, and fuck together, but thatโs all about us. There is no relationship status, just the things we do with each other.And Iโve never dared think that he would take me out; otherwise, we would get caught. What is he about to do now?Take me out?Hell no.โWhat plans?โ My cheek stings because Iโm smiling so wide right now.โI have something to show you. I want you to be the first woman to see it, Ana.โ He takes my hand up to his mouth and kisses it.Shit, I almost pee on my pants because this is just too adorable for my heart to contain. Wait, he said he wants me to be the first woman to see it? That means Sandra has not seen it either.โ Really?โ My cheek explodes in color, and Iโm tempted to jump off my seat and kiss the h
ANASTASIAItโs girls night!Since Denver is out with his stepbrother, I decided to go out with Karina to catch up on all the time I've been away.Iโm with her right now, at the club where we had once visited before she found Chloe and fell in love with him.Weโre sitting in the area with dim red lights, excluding a sense of privacy and anonymity. It doesnโt mean we canโt be seen by others in the club, but it doesnโt give off the flashy vibes.Iโm dressed in a flowery yellow short dress purchased by Denver, and my hair is twisted in a French hairstyle. Karina is wearing a tank top and a blue trouser thatโs barely covering her stomach.The waiter heads to our table, and I order my usual chocolate milkshake, and she orders her usual as well. The word obsession is real, and we are in that category, stuck with our favorite drinks."So you go first! Pour out your heart to me, girl!โ I tap on the table, grinning as I wait for her to start spilling all the details I must have missed."I'm pre
DRAKEThere are only two of that necklace in the world; it was the same necklace I customized for my lost daughter and Astrid, my wife.I donโt want to assume yet, so I called Astrid to be on her way to the penthouse, where I usually relax when I need some time to think.Astrid is cool with me having a separate house to myself as long as I always come home to her. And sometimes she would meet me up at the penthouse and spend the entire night together.I sit in the bar area with a glass of whiskey and ice as I spin slowly on the bar stool. When we gave birth to our first and only child, Annabel, we had only spent a few days with her before she got stolen from us.Astrid almost died of a heart attack due to the loss of our baby; we searched everywhere for her, but we couldnโt find her. We used the same necklace, but we totally lost her.Astrid still has traumas about the loss of her baby, including the nonstop nightmare and the jerking from her sleep at night. Sometimes she says her bab
ANASTASIAโWelcome back, Anna. Donโt you think your internship should be over by now?โ Chloe smirks at me, and I just stare blankly at him. But he smiles nonchalantly, like he always does."Chloe, I told you to stop picking on her. And donโt let Denver hear you speaking to her in this tone; he will cut off your balls, and I truly donโt want your balls out yet. I still want you to fuck me some more." Karina winks at me as she teases him.My face is radiant with a bright smile, and her teasing Chloe made me giggle even more. She turns to me with her arms wide spread."I'm happy to have you back. Gosh, I had no one to gossip with! You just left me all alone!โ Rolling her eyes, she falls into my open arms as well.โAs for you, Chloe, donโt you think you donโt deserve to be with my friend?โ Itโs my turn to pick on him, and this time I come with the full energy."Come on, Anna. Must you two fight all the time?โ She glances at me, then back to Chloe, and the smile on my face keeps getting wi
DENVERAnastasia is fast asleep, and I canโt stop staring at her. She looked so disturbed when she saw Sandraโs call.And to make her feel at peace, I declined Sandraโs calls, whispering to her that she doesnโt have to worry anymore about Sandra or anyone.And I owe Sandra nothing; it's not compulsory to take her calls.I meant every word I said to Anastasia. I chose her, and I will continue to choose her for the rest of my life. There is no other option aside from being with her.I've thought a lot about what we are going to do together once we leave the UK and return home. Also, I donโt tell her about the surprise part yet.Since I want us to be official, I need to give her an apartment in her name. An apartment she would make her home, and even though she is the only home I want to return to, I would so much love living with her in the apartment.An apartment secured with cameras and security. This is because I know who Sandra is and how much length she can go. Aside from wanting A
ANASTASIA"Even right now.โ His tempting voice immersed in my brain, and the only thing that makes sense now is this man's touch.Fuck, he couldnโt even resist as he took in my breath and I breathed in his. He brings his teeth snatching my lips and kisses me so delicately, like precious porcelain.โGosh, I miss these fucking lips.โ I murmur into his mouth. The kissing part is hot, but I canโt wait to have him deep inside me.I wrap my leg around his waist; he holds me so tight as he kisses the hell out of my lips.My nipples begin to ache, desperate for his hands on them. I think this man always has a way of making me lose my mind.Like Iโm doing right now. I feel so hot; Iโm not gentle as I tear off the tank top on me, leaving my boobs to fall out in front of him.His eyes darkened with temptation as he stared at my pink nipples. The lust in his eyes is alluring. In that swift moment of him staring at my hard and pink nipples, I stare at his gorgeous face.I canโt stop emphasizing how
ANASTASIAI could sense his arrival. I heard the sound of the car all the way from my room. I had just called him a few minutes before I got back home.I don't believe he is suddenly in front of my house; it's as if he abandoned everything he was doing and ran to me.I couldnโt express myself on the phone; I was short of words as tears streaked down my blue eyes. I only said a few words to him and ended the call. โYou know what it means by seeing my call again, Denver.โFuck, I miss calling his name. I miss my lips calling him mine. He has always been mine, but I had been too scared to voice it out.Now, it finally feels like I can call him mine without being scared of his reactions to it. Itโs so calming thinking of how this man made me feelโnot the bad part but the good ones. Itโs so erotic whenever I remember the hot sex we had multiple times.God, I canโt be mad at him anymore. I should really give him a second chance. After all his efforts? Iโm convinced he is truly sorry for wha
ANASTASIAD...Did he really say he loved me?Every hair on my skin stood firm the moment he whispered those words. I almost melted in his arms, but I couldnโt risk it. I still needed to trust him more.My entire life, I had been waiting for those words. I was speechless for a brief moment as my inner walls crumbled helplessly. The fact he said those words without blinking or without breaking eye contact with me sent a jolt of excitement through my bones.I wanted to jump and hug and kiss him until I could no longer breathe, but I paused. I had so much restraint from going close to him because I couldnโt break my own heart again. I broke my own heart by trusting and expecting so much from him, but I couldnโt make that same mistake again.His presence has always had effects on me, and I didnโt believe my thigh clenched when he came closer to me, and at that moment the only air I could breathe was his.I took in his fucking manly scent as my eyes ran through his broad shoulders and his
DENVER She needs me. She could be angry and hate me to the core, but my Ana needs me. I know her better than anyone else, and Iโm well aware that sheโs been having sleepless nights.I knew shit was hitting the fan when I couldnโt perceive her chocolate fragrance on her anymore. It only means one thing: that sheโs not been taking her milkshake since she left New York, and thatโs a fucking record. If she stopped taking something she's been obsessed with, then it's the scariest shit ever.The way she looked, the way her eyes lost the shine and brightnessโthe real Anastasia is almost gone. I canโt let that happen; I canโt do that, so I asked her close friend to go after her as soon as she ran angrily from the bar.That wasn't Ana. That was pain talking. It was the first time I had seen her that mad. I don't ever want to see that part again.Even though she doesnโt want me to go after her, there are several other ways I could use to save my Ana.Pacing about in front of the apartment wher
ANASTASIA I would be stupid if I said I wasnโt hurting. Itโs been over a week since it happened, but I will never be the same again, not when I canโt erase my memories. How am I supposed to forget it like it never happened?No matter what I try, I canโt seem to forget it or what schemes I attempt to indulge in; I canโt take him off my mind, even though thinking about him hurts like hell.His name and thoughts always pop up in my head, literally unexpectedly. How can I stop thinking about him when itโs bedtime? Or when Iโm about to take a bite of my meal or take a sip of my milkshake?Fuck, my world has been so entangled with him that itโs so difficult to disentangle myself.Or how the bloody fuck do I delete moments of him from my head? Heโs the first person I think of when I wake up, and the freaking last person I think of when I shut these pretty eyes of mine.I know I should stop thinking about him, but I feel like I need closure to move on. I need answers to why he did those thing
