After The Altar Falls

Weil ich seit meiner Kindheit viel Milch getrunken hatte, war mein Körper reifer als der jeder Gleichaltrigen. Als ich achtzehn wurde, bat mein überfürsorglicher Bruder seinen besten Freund, auf mich aufzupassen – aus Angst, ein Mann könnte mich ausnutzen. Doch schon bei unserer ersten Begegnung starrte dieser Mann mir auf die Oberweite, ohne den Blick abzuwenden, und trieb sein Spiel mit mir – wieder und wieder. Von da an war er tagsüber mein Vorgesetzter und nachts war ich seine persönliche Assistentin. Vier volle Jahre im Verborgenen – er hatte mich genau zu der Frau gemacht, die er am liebsten wollte. Nach vier Jahren kehrte seine Ex-Verlobte aus dem Ausland zurück, und er sprang aus dem Bett, um sie vom Flughafen abzuholen. Ich schluckte meine Demütigung hinunter und fuhr ihm nach. Noch eine Stunde zuvor hatte seine Hand voller Bissspuren meinen Mund bedeckt. Doch jetzt strich er direkt vor meinen Augen zärtlich einer anderen Frau durchs Haar: „Lotte, vor vier Jahren hast du dich in mein Bett geschlichen, als ich betrunken war.“ „Dein Theater jetzt ist wirklich lächerlich.“

El día de mi boda, de repente, mis papás trajeron a mi novio a la casa y dijeron que la boda iba a tener otra novia: —Tu hermana tiene una enfermedad terminal, su único deseo es casarse con Iván. —Tú eres su hermana menor, sé buena y ayuda a tu hermana. —No te apresures —intervino también mi novio—, es nomás una ceremonia. Después de que ella se muera, nosotros todavía podemos casarnos. Yo no estuve de acuerdo, así que mis papás me amarraron. —Te soltaremos, después de que se acabe la boda. Pero, poco después de que se fueron, un ladrón que se metió a la casa me mató de forma brutal. Cuando por fin se acordaron de mí, solo encontraron mi cuerpo ya en estado de descomposición.

I had just placed the winning bid on an outrageously expensive piece of jewelry, but the auctioneer refused to close the sale. When I pressed her for an explanation, she turned to my husband with tearful eyes and claimed that I always bring different men here to spend money. “Ma'am, as a professional, I can’t sit back and watch you keep deceiving people. “Sir, I’ll refund your money and even cover the loss myself. Just open your eyes and find someone who truly loves you.” My husband looked visibly moved, their gazes locking in front of everyone as if I wasn’t even there. With all eyes on me, I snatched back my black card. “It’s my card, my money. Why are you giving it to some social-climbing chauffeur?”

Elena didn't expect the drastic turn her life took in just one night. From discovering she was getting married, in place of her sister, to a mystery man, to bumping in on her unremorseful boyfriend cheating on her. Miserably, she agreed to take her sister's place. She thought she knew all what to expect and she prepared herself for it; a boring loveless marriage. Her soon-to-be husband was an extremely wealthy son of the Walton's but the rumors deemed him bedridden. He was also crippled and with a face scarred with burns. Elena thought she knew how their relationship would go until she eventually dived into it. Not only did the mystery ugly Billionaire turn out to be her worst nightmare and nothing like her thoughts, but he also had more secrets that would leave Elena wishing she hadn't judged too quickly. But there was no escape route for her now... *** His eyes narrowed as he stared at my nude figure, like a predator staring at his prey. "I've been gentle for you too long. And you've been a bad girl. It's time I mark you, and show you who you belong to now." "I'm yours, Master. I know I'm yours-" My voice was shaking as I knew this dangerous man wouldn't allow me to disobey him. I'm his bride as well as his personal slave. "I need you to prove it to me," he rasped near my ears while holding my hands to touch his desire, "Show me."
