Marilyn glared angrily at the television. The obnoxious anchor was babbling about Aiden's surprise wedding to an unknown woman. Finally, the camera was able to zoom close on the face of the unnamed woman. Marilyn was stunned and unable to respond. What were the chances of this happening? Wasn't she supposed to be incarcerated awaiting trial? Where did her strategy go wrong? How in the world did she got Aiden to pay her bail and marry her? She became enraged and snatched the champagne glass from her hand and slammed it at the screen. The screen did not shatter, but the glass did. The screen and the floor were covered in shards of glass and champagne. Marilyn looked down at her phone when it rang. She took the phone tentatively.   "You failed!" A voice said from the other side.   "Look, I tried my best! I don't know what happened...."   "Meet me right now!" The voice said and cut the call.   Marilyn sc

Sydney   His fingers went back to my robe, eventually taking it off completely. I shuddered beneath his gaze now that I was completely naked.     He almost said to himself, "Lovely."   "How could I blame myself for desiring you?"   He pressed his hands against my thighs and opened them wide again, giving him complete and total access to my womanhood. He dropped his mouth this time. I was acutely aware of the fresh encroachment of every touch as he kissed along my sex, his stubble more ticklish than ever. I'd never been kissed 'there,' and it was a strangely arousing experience. He moved farther in, unfazed by my squirms, and I froze as he approached the opening of my lips. I took a deep breath and was immediately confronted by his tongue pressing into me. My breathing began to have an odd, shallow pattern. His tongue was inside of me, warm and wet against my walls, and t

Sydney     What exactly is love? Is it when a man and woman love each other? I understand those, but how does it function in a circumstance like this? I wasn't sure how I was supposed to reconcile my hatred for myself. Yes, we had a strong physical attraction to one other. That could not be denied, but he did not deserve to be hated simply because he was a cunning human being. He made it apparent that he wanted my body and a wife to placate his grandfather. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into when I signed this deal. It seemed pointless to despise him for following through on his contractual commitments. "You are very quiet today," Aiden's voice broke my reverie and I suddenly looked up from my half-eaten plate.    We were sitting down for an elaborate breakfast at a charming cafe. He had insisted on driving around and stopped at this breakfast place. The cafe was on a cliff facing

Sydney   When we arrived home, it was late at night. Most of the households were already asleep. I was exhausted and all I wanted to do was relax in a warm bath. Aiden escorted me to our room and muttered something about meeting with someone. I just shrugged.     My belongings had been unpacked and carefully organised in a large walk-in closet. Looking around, I noticed that the room was considerably larger than my apartment. I was able to quickly identify the restroom that was adjacent to the closet. It was large and well-designed. There was a large oval-shaped sunken bath in the middle of the bathroom, as well as a shower stall and a countertop with all of the essentials.     'Rich folks know how to have a good time,' I thought. I came across some lavender bath oils and sprinkled them over the hot water. I stripped off my clothes and dove into the bath. It was fantasti

Sydney   As I ran through the maze of corridors, I was in tears. In my entire life, I had never felt so embarrassed. Fiona and, most likely, Will were aware that I was only a temporary 'arrangement.' She was rubbing it in my face for that reason. I had chosen this misery, and there was nothing I could do but accept it. I found myself in an unfamiliar environment. I couldn't tell if it was a library or an office. A large portrait of two adults and a teenage kid who was obviously Aiden hung on the wall. He had a fragile and lovely appearance. Who knew the sweet little guy would grow up to be such a devil?    "Are you looking for something, Mrs. Reiner?" A young girl, clad in the same blue and white uniform as the rest of the staff, approached me and asked me.     "I... I got lost while looking for my room. Could you please point me in the right direction?" I inquired of the young lady.
