All Chapters of Indecent Proporsal: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Julia“Dream of angels, son!” I whisper softly, getting out of his bed and leaving his room right after, closing the door carefully behind me.In the hallway, I check the time on my wristwatch and think I have enough time to work a little on the Vitton sketches before my well-deserved rest. And as I walk down to the lower floor, I notice the quietness of this house, which is only not completely silent because of the sound of the rain falling outside. However, as soon as I enter the Bennett mansion’s office, I stop, mesmerized by the beautiful image of a storm playing with the wind while wetting the beautiful sleeping garden.“Time to get to work, Julia,” I say to myself, putting aside this relaxing view and spreading some colored pencils and graphite that will help me develop the lines and textures I need to bring my ideas to life. I spend hours deciding between streets, landscapes, and gardens. Walls, partitions, doors, and windows. At some point, my eyes begin to protest, and I deci

BennettEverston City. No wonder Lina Vitton seems surprised and worried about this visit. I had the privilege of being born in one of the most beautiful small towns in this country. A calm and quiet place, with kind and always smiling neighbors. Truly amazing and helpful people. But I chose to hide from them the painful story that the walls of the Bennett house told every day. I kept it only to myself. Not even my father, my stepmother, or my youngest sister know the dark secrets of those walls. All they know is the story of a promiscuous and careless mother. John Bennett freed me from the filth of that house, but the truth is, he never managed to free me from his chains.“David?” Lina wakes me gently, using a soft reproachful tone.“It’s not what you’re thinking, Lina,” I snap, turning my back on her so I don’t have to look into her eyes.I didn’t lie to her. Actually, I never lie to her. I simply can’t hide things from her assessing gaze. No matter what it is, Lina always gets a cl

JuliaA few days later……I need you to know three things about me tonight, Julia. One, I’m paying a very high price for this night, so I want everything I’m entitled to with you. Including the damn kiss on the mouth. Two, never say no to me, because that word doesn’t exist in my dictionary. So, when I want something, even if you tell me no, I go and take it. And three, never touch me without my permission. In bed, I’m the one who commands and orders, and you just obey me. Any questions?Remembering that Dark Night makes me sigh loudly in agony, and frustration takes over me. I know nothing justifies his rude, rough, and cold behavior toward me, but those scars tell me so much about that man.…I’m tired of you!The anger with which he shouted those words. The strength with which he grabbed my throat, stealing my breath. David Bennett could have killed me at that moment if I hadn’t acted so fast.But who is she? Who hurt him that way, and why did she do that to him?…I’ll destroy her jus

Bennett“What did you do?” She mutters softly as we walk into the construction site. “What did you do?” Julia asks, freeing herself from my hand that was still holding hers. She stops walking and makes me stop too. “Mr. Bennett, why did you do that? Why did you say we were engaged?”“One question at a time, Ricci,” I growl impatiently. “First, I got rid of that idiot who almost laid a hand on you. And it wasn’t in a positive way. And second, I said we were engaged.”“Yes! And why did you do that?”“Because I made you an offer.”“An offer I haven’t accepted yet!” She retorts, looking furious.“But you will accept,” I reply somewhat arrogantly.“How can you be so sure, Mr. David Bennett?” She grunts. However, I decide to get closer to her. Too close. Still, I don’t let my emotions show. Ricci doesn’t need to know about her power over me… never.“I have, and that’s enough.” She throws me a sarcastic smile.“Mel is right. You’re a damn arrogant man!”“Yeah, maybe I am.”“Okay, let’s say I

JuliaA few days…"Júlia." Mr. Abravanel speaks, entering my office."Mr. Abravanel?" I stand up immediately."I have a big project to start, and I need help. Are you up for joining me on this?""Ah, I don’t know…""Júlia, this will be another project that will make your name shine in the architectural world. And you’re already halfway through Bolt Vitton anyway. You need to start another project soon, and I believe we’ll make a great team. What do you think?" Not knowing what to say, I just mumble. — "How about we go out for lunch? I’ll give you the main details, and you can analyze each one. After that, it’s up to you. How does that sound?" I smile."Alright." He smiles back."Great! Shall I meet you in half an hour?""Of course.""Perfect!""Look at you." Bia hums as she approaches. "Falling under Mr. Abravanel’s spell, huh?""Don’t talk nonsense, Bia. It’s just work," I retort to her insinuations."Just work, huh?" Bia leans a little over my desk, — "Open your eyes, Júlia, Mr. Abr
