Semua Bab Her Man: Bab 21 - Bab 30

I could not recognise myself in the mirror when Jade was done with me.Jade was truly a fashionista and had outdone herself. The midnight-blue gown she chose for me was breathtaking. Alexander must have given her my size because the dress fit so perfectly. I had taken my wedding dresses back home, and he had never cared to ask for them, so how was he able to get my size. The only answer I could think of was Mia. Perhaps he had asked Mia for my size, and she had been able to give my size to him accurately.The corset was exquisitely embroidered with silver, feeling both luxurious and surprisingly comfortable. The layers of tulle cascading from the waist were simply magnificent—a sea of shimmering fabric that swirled around my feet. The off-the-shoulder style, with the delicate ruffled details, was so flattering. And the long velvet gloves, the perfect shade of dark blue to complement the dress, added a touch of mystery. But the real showstopper? The mask. It was a deep blue colour, i

The man we just met was Alexander's worst enemy? How dangerous was he? Because if he stood as a threat to Alexander, he was definitely dangerous.I said nothing else as I walked quietly with him to the dance floor.As I rested my hand on Alexander's shoulder, his warm fingers wrapped around my waist, drawing me into the rhythm of the waltz. The music swelled, and we moved as one, our bodies swaying in perfect harmony. The glittering chandeliers above cast a dazzling glow. I tried focusing my gaze on the chandeliers instead of his eyes.“Look at me, Olivia. Look into my eyes. People are watching”, Alexander said.When I did, my eyes were fixed on his, the mask that hid his features only adding to the allure. I felt like I was floating on air, my heart pounding in time with the music. Alexander's gaze held mine, his eyes burning with an intensity that made my soul tremble. In that moment, the world around us dissolved, leaving only the two of us, lost in the magic of the night. I felt m

We had what I would call one of the most amazing sex of my life. He smirked at me as he adjusted himself on top of me kissing every inch of my body as I moaned softly.The smirk that played on his lips, a cruel, knowing curve sent a shiver down my spine. He moved slowly into me, deliberately kissing a path from my collarbone to the sensitive skin of my neck, each touch a brand, a searing reminder of my precarious position. "You're exquisite, Olivia," he murmured, his voice a low rumble that vibrated against my skin. "Absolutely exquisite." His words, laced with a honeyed sweetness that felt both terrifying and intoxicating, were a weapon as sharp as any blade. He shifted, his weight settling fully upon me. His breath hitched in his throat. His eyes, usually cold and calculating, were now dark and intense, pools of molten gold reflecting the flickering candlelight. "Your body… it's breathtaking," he whispered, his lips brushing against my ear. "Every curve, every line… perfection

Olivia did not want to go to get dressed especially when there was no Mia in sight. Why would I bring Mia who could possibly ruin my plans? I wanted this plan to go as perfectly as ever. I could feel that it was going to be perfect, and I was going to love the outcome.I tried not to smile as Olivia got up and followed Jade quietly to the room. It was time to enforce the second stage of my plan.I gave Jade an hour and thirty minutes to get Olivia prepared. I knew she would get Olivia completely ready for the masquerade ball at that time because I had tracked how long it took her to get my mom ready for previous occasions.I walked into the room after my timer for an hour and thirty minutes went off. Jade was trembling as she tried to tell Olivia something, but from the way Olivia stared attentively at Jade, it seemed Jade hadn't said anything evil about me – yet. Neither of them had noticed that I had walked into the room; it had been less than ten seconds since I came in quietly.‘G

“Well, uhm–”, she said, not knowing what else to say.It was evident that she was falling for me. Then why was she so good at resisting me? No woman had ever resisted me to this level. If I ever made a confession to a woman, she would immediately tell me she wanted me or she would start being clingy. But there was a strong resistance in Olivia's body language. It showed that she was truly in love with Ryan. But I wanted her to myself. She was going to have to figure out a way to deal with that. “I am going to kiss you now”, I said.“Huh?”, she asked.I didn't let her say a single word when I crashed my lips onto hers. I made sure to taste every aspect of her lips, deepening the kiss with every second that went by. There were people watching, which was a good thing. People would talk, and this time it was definitely going to favor me. She didn't pull away, and I loved it. It was a good start to carry out my plan. Olivia was going to end up with me, whether she thought I was a jerk or
