What are we?

3rd P.O.V."I can't believe you would do this to me, Apollo," Beatrix said, her voice shaking with emotion.Apollo didn't respond. He just continued to comfort his crying fuck buddy, ignoring Beatrix completely.Beatrix couldn't take it anymore. She turned around and started to walk away, tears streaming down her face. Apollo's father, who had been watching the whole thing, followed her."Beatrix, wait," he called after her.Beatrix stopped and turned to face him, wiping the tears from her eyes."Please, Dad, I just want to go home," Beatrix said, her voice barely above a whisper."Beatrix, I'm sorry for what happened tonight. I didn't know that she was going to do that," Mr. Cartier said, looking genuinely apologetic."It's not just that, Dad. Apollo has been acting strange towards me lately, and I don't know why," Beatrix said, feeling a lump in her throat."I know, Beatrix. That's why I set up this date for you two. I wanted you to reconnect and work things out," Mr. Cartier, looki

Drunk

3rd P.O.V.As Beatrix sat at the bar, Harley and Charis joined her, each taking a seat on either side of her. Harley slid her a drink, and Charis gave her a sympathetic smile.Harley spoke first. "So, what's going on with you and Apollo? I saw him storm out of here earlier."Beatrix sighed. "He's so closed off, Harley. I don't know what to do. Every time I try to get closer to him, he pushes me away."Charis chimed in. "Maybe he's just not ready yet. You have to be patient."Beatrix shook her head. "I don't know if I can be patient anymore. I want to be with him, but I don't want to keep waiting around for him to change his mind."Harley frowned. "But what about your brother? Isn't he your top priority right now?"Beatrix's face fell. "Of course he is. But that doesn't mean I can't have a life too."Charis nodded. "You're not being selfish, Beatrix. You deserve to be happy too."Beatrix took a sip of her drink and sighed again. "I just don't know if it's worth it. All this stress and

Why him?

3rd P.O.V."Because I saw it with both of my eyes. Every time he hurts me, shouted at me… every time he does something inhuman, he will come to me and say his mistakes. He will admit it and apologize with all of his heart. And he will not sugarcoat everything that he did or justify it for him to prove that I am the one who is at fault, and not him. He could admit his mistakes and at the same time, he’s HOT, okay? I can’t deny that fact, he’s hot.”Charis and I laughed, especially Charis, as she heard about being hot. It's really the first thing that matters to me. It’s the first thing that made me interested in him and curious about him what made us closer, right? I’m not just his contracted wife, but also a sex worker to him. But to me, I’m not just doing this because of work, or because he told me to, or because he needed someone to take out his lust.Charis, Harley, and Beatrix are still drinking. For them, it’s their day off the next day so it doesn’t matter. Beatrix slumped o

Sleeping with someone else

3rd P.O.V.Harley walked Beatrix to her apartment, both of them in comfortable silence. Beatrix was lost in thought, thinking about her brother's condition and the mounting medical bills. As Harley dropped Beatrix off at Apollo's place, Seb, Harold, and Michael happened to be walking by. They immediately recognized Beatrix and wondered what she was doing there with Harley."Hey, Beatrix, what are you doing here with Harley?" Seb asked curiously.Beatrix sighed, not in the mood to explain her complicated relationship with Apollo. "It's none of your business, Seb," she said curtly.Harold stepped in to diffuse the tension. "Come on, Beatrix. Let's go inside and catch up. It's been a while," he said, gesturing towards Apollo's house.Beatrix hesitated, not sure if she wanted to get involved with Apollo's friends. But she didn't want to be rude, so she reluctantly followed Harold inside.Once they got inside, Harold, Seb, and Michael realized that Apollo's apartment was empty. Harold sug

Quit

RIX’s P.O.V.I took a step forward, my hands clasped tightly in front of me. "I want to quit," I said quietly.Apollo's eyebrow raised. "Quit what?""Being your contracted wife, being a slave under this stupid deal," I said, my voice growing more confident as I spoke.Apollo frowned. "You know the deal, Beatrix. You signed a contract.""I know,'' I said, nodding. "But I can't take it anymore. I'm tired of pretending to be something I'm not. I'm tired of living this life. I'm tired of pretending I can take everything and I can breathe everything, when I can't. I’m tired.”Apollo stood up, towering over me. "You knew what you were getting into when you signed that contract," he said, his voice low and menacing. "You agreed to be my contracted wife for six months. You can't back out now."I swallowed hard, my throat feeling tight as I was trying so hard not to cry. "I know," she said softly. "But I can't keep doing this. It's not who I am."Apollo stared at me for a long moment, his expr

Behind the door

As far as she remember, Jade was there the last time she visited.Beatrix arrived at the hospital with Jade by her side. Andrei was lying in bed, his eyes closed, and his breathing shallow. Beatrix was relieved to see him awake, but she noticed something was off. Andrei's blood pressure suddenly increased, and he started to have a seizure.Beatrix called for the nurse, who quickly came in and administered medication to stop the seizure. The nurse then informed Beatrix that Andrei's sudden emotional outburst triggered the seizure.Beatrix immediately thought it was because of Jade. She turned to Jade and told her, "Jade, you have to calm down when you talk to Andrei. Your excitement is overwhelming him, and it's not good for his health."Jade looked at Andrei with tears in her eyes and hugged him tightly. "I'm so sorry, Andrei. I didn't know I was h

My dinner

RIX’s P.O.V.Apollo gave me the drink, so I drank it. As well as him.He lay me down on the table, and he smiled devilishly.“My dinner…”I smiled, but then furrowed after that. “Could you just do it? God, stop withholding your actions! You're hurting my belly!”Apollo runs his finger through my lips as he goes, “Shush.”I bit my lower lip… Then he placed the ice on top of me and then sat on me. Now, he's slowly running through my body with the ice that he let me bring. He ends when he reached my cunt. Gosh…Now his hardened cock is slapping my entering.But instead of feeling like Apollo is giving me a hard time because he’s hanging the sensation in the middle of almost sex, I felt the lust even more— the hot drunken emotion.I even moaned…Slowly, he entered his, as his hands traveled around my legs. This isn't just lust…This isn't just sex. This is something else, there’s more than lust in between his eyes. But why is he trying to keep himself from feeling it?Why is he hu

"This is none of your business, Harley."Aileen appeared too, pushing Beatrix away from Apollo. “Stop this, Apollo! You know what are we! Why are you hanging out with a bitch?!”Harley took a step forward. "It is when Beatrix is involved, I'm part of the business. Also, this bitch beside you, silence her, or I will hurt her."Beatrix sniffled, wiping away her tears. "Guys, please stop fighting."But Apollo and Harley were already facing off, their tempers flaring. Harley threw the first punch, but Apollo easily dodged it, retaliating with a hit to the gut. Harley stumbled back, g
