Lexi’s POV“We leave when I’m ready and you better be ready by then.” He growled before turning to make his way to his room.Crying, I clutched my stomach as I crawled to the edge of the stairs, my head felt like there were a thousand bells ringing inside it. My stomach aches and I could feel myself dying inside.Why is all of this happening to me?Struggling to stand, I walked to my room and sat on the edge of the bed as what happened back downstairs played again in my head. I heard a knock on the window and flinched, my fear had skyrocketed until I realized that it was just the force of the air.I couldn’t sit around any more because I knew that Ivan could be ready at any moment. Making my way to the bathroom, I got under the shower and let out a painful wince when the water touched my skin.It felt as though someone had just rubbed salt on my wound. Hurriedly having my bath, I tended to my wounds and applied makeup to cover my bruises so that it’ll be less noticeable.I picked out

Ivan’s POV“Fuck,” the girl moaned in my mouth as I twirled two of my fingers deep inside her pussy while also massaging her clit slowly.“What else do you want, you little slut?” I asked and she arched her back, granting me even more access to her dripping vagina.“More than just your fingers,” she moaned, “I want your dick, daddy.” She finished and my dick rose at once at the way she spoke.I wouldn’t have invited her but after seeing Lexi this evening, I’ve been having the intense urge to fuck her brains out. Neither of the females I’ve been with after that night with Lexi makes me feel the same way she made me feel but I couldn’t sleep with a hard dick.Plus, I felt like Lexi had had enough trouble for the day already and fucking her harshly wouldn’t be something I want her to deal with right now.Lexi does something to me and sometimes I just want to put an end to her torture, I wanted to give her another chance and see if she’ll love me like she loved that baseball player.My do

Lexi’s POVHis eyes scaled me from my head to my toe and I shivered when he finally spoke, “Follow me.” His voice was so stern that for a moment I felt like my feet were glued to the ground but I knew better.I knew better than to let him look back and repeat those same words to me. Hurriedly and without questions, I followed him down the hallway.It felt like we were going to a different compartment in the house and with every step I took, fear washed through my veins.Soon, Ivan stopped by a door and opened it. He ordered me to go in which I did without any questions asked. I have never been in any other room in the house before except for my room, the sitting room and the kitchen.Everything including the air in this room felt new to me. The lights came on and a red light came on, the room was still pitch dark but it was also bright enough for me to see Ivan.It looked like the kind of rooms I saw in movies, my eyes darted around and I saw a small cage right in the middle of the ro

Lexi’s POVGroaning, I turned and my entire body ached as pain surged through me, making me wince as I struggled to open my eyes.I’d expected to still remain tied up in that horrible room but when I opened my eyes everything in the room I was in seemed foreign and it took a while before I could realize that I was in my own room.How did I get in here?The last thing I remember was seeing Ivan’s evil face smirking at me and just the thought of that alone made raw fear grip me as I looked around.Taking a look at my body, the bruises were dressed and there were bandages on my body. I looked up to see that the curtain was drawn and the room was pitch dark.I was grateful to whoever did this because I knew damn well that it couldn’t possibly be Ivan. Wincing, the pain I was feeling was unbearable as I tried to stand.I was pressed and I needed to pee but my whole being just wanted to be confined to bed without doing anything. Gathering every ounce of energy in me, I finally stood to go t

Ivan’s POVSmiling to myself, I already saw Lexi make her way to my office but I never moved my gaze away from the document I was working on. She’d frozen in her tracks for a moment.I had thought that it was probably because she saw the name and remembered who it was but my thoughts were cleared when she turned and the fear was evident in her eyes.She didn’t freeze because she recognized me, she froze because she wasn’t expecting that I’ll be the one sitting behind that CEO tag.She didn’t recognize Cassian Alessio but she sure as hell recognized Ivanović Volkov. My hope of the name by the door jolting her memory was dashed and once again fresh anger flowed through me.Was I really that forgettable that she forgot all about me? All about the beautiful moment we shared and how she was herself whenever she was with me?“We don’t have the whole day, Lady,” I growled and the sound of my voice made the fear on her face deepen even more, “have your seat and let’s get started.” I added, my
