Chapter EighteenDying In SilenceSebastianI took a seat on the stretching long chairs at the beachside. I wanted to get a private place, but they were filled up. I sat down, lying on my back with my eyes staring into the sky, my mind wandering through different thoughts.Have I done the wrong thing? Have I betrayed her like she said? Am I a bad person? I was confused and felt unusually guilty about my actions. I had never felt this way before; I always felt like whatever I did was right. But it was different this time.I never wanted something like this to happen, which is why I made it clear to her why I got married to her. I explained that I only married her for my family's sake. They forced me into the marriage to provide an heir and to give my kids a mother's love and a mother figure in their lives, even though I was sure they would never accept her as their mother.I sat there, folding my hands across my chest, and closed my eyes. I really wanted to be free from the marriage, b
Chapter Nineteen The Pain RelieverOliviaThe scenes raced through my mind once again, the vivid images of my husband's intimate moments with another woman. My heart shattered into a million pieces. I collapsed on the bed, my chest aching, feeling my heart pounding against my ribs.I didn't deserve this. I didn't deserve to be treated this way. What had I done? What had I done to deserve such treatment from him? It wasn't my fault that I was forced into this marriage. It wasn't my choice. Why did he have to hurt me like this?Tears streamed down my face. I had never experienced such pain, such betrayal. My heart ached with a depth of pain I had never known before. I had hoped that I could earn his love and trust, that I could somehow win him over, but I was wrong. I would never succeed.I clutched my chest, feeling my heart racing. I felt foolish for ever thinking I could impress him. I should have realized he would never give me a chance. He didn't care about my feelings or what I d
Chapter TwentyA Wild Night (18+)Sebastian “This is your punishment for pretending to be innocent, and depriving me of the pleasure I want,” I murmured, grabbing her chin and raising it up to mine. I knew she was drunk, but it seemed like the state had unleashed the wild part of her, and I loved it, “I won’t leave you until you cry out!” She only laughed, her hand hanging around my neck, and the other stroking my penis, giving me the exact sensation I needed. I cupped her bum in my hands, spanking her and running my hands around her naked body, it was the perfect moment.I pushed her to the bed, my eyes fixed on her as I pulled my shirt off. A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I climbed on the bed, coming on top of her.Her hands swung around my neck, pulling me down to herself, a big smile on her face. Her alcohol breath sent shivers down my body, it was like a catalyst speeding up the intensity of the urge I was feeling.I kissed her on her cheek, and on to her ears. I heard her ch
Chapter Twenty-oneThe HangoverOlivia’s POVOpening my eyes one after the other, the early morning sun shone on my face, sending a sharp pang to my head. I closed my eyes again; my head ached intensely. I had been so drunk the day before, and as expected, I didn't remember everything that happened.I kept my eyes closed, lying still on the bed as I tried to piece together what might have occurred after my drinking binge the previous night. I wanted to recall all my actions after downing multiple cups of alcohol, but my mind remained blank; I couldn't remember anything.I lay there on the bed, my head throbbing, my eyes feeling heavy as if opening them required immense effort. No matter how hard I tried, I knew I'd never remember what happened the day before. I had attempted this after the last time I got drunk, trying to force myself to remember, but it was futile. I couldn't recall anything, not even a faint memory.This time wouldn't be any different; I was sure of that. So, I lay
Chapter twenty-twoThe MurdererOliviaI didn’t know what to do, or who to call on, why was there a problem after the other? Why do I have to face problems in my life? Was I ever going to find peace? I shook my head, tears already forming in my eyes as I stand at Noah, I knew I was in danger; and it was possible that I wouldn’t escape from him this time.“P..please let me go, please forgive me,” I pleaded, but his stern look still remained, gazing at me with his nose flaring at me.“I have been going from one job to the other since that day.” He began, squatting beside me on the floor, “my parents disowned me after I got expelled from school, my life had just been one problem after the other, and it’s all thanks to you. You are the cause of it all!”“I…I am sorry..” that was all I could say.I know I wasn’t at fault for what happened, he was to be blamed for trying to have his way with me forcefully, he tried to steal my pride, my dignity, he was to be held responsible for that, not
Chapter Twenty-threeRepeated HistorySebastian I had gone out to get the chopsticks which I forgot to get along with the package I bought. I also got some drinks with it. My stomach grumbled from hunger; I hadn’t had anything to eat for hours. It was the very first time I would go hours without eating.I was on my way back when I saw Liz heading towards me. I stopped and turned to the sides to see if there was anywhere I could escape to before she got to me, but there was nowhere. I had no other choice than to face her again, first thing in the morning. I knew the rest of the way was going to be on the bad side, as Liz was always a jinx to my day; I knew it wouldn’t turn out nice.She spotted me from afar, and a big smile fell on her face. She rushed to me and grabbed my hand. "Hey, honey," she chuckled, trailing her finger along my face and making invisible lines on my chest. "It’s been just hours since our hot session, and I already miss you," she smiled.I held her hand, pulling
Chapter Twenty-fourSavedOlivia“Why did you try to kill him!” The officer flared at me, sending shivers down my spine once again.I didn’t know what to say or what to do; my body still shook from the incident. I didn’t mean to hurt him that way; I just wanted to save myself from what he was going to do to me. It was self-defense, but I didn’t have any evidence to prove it.How could I explain that I had known Noah from high school, where he had tried to take advantage of me, leading to his expulsion? What had happened was me trying to protect myself from his revenge.My body trembled with fear, and I felt utterly helpless, not knowing how to convince the officer, whose skeptical eyes remained locked on me. And where was Sebastian in all this? I had hoped he'd come to my aid, but hours had passed since my removal from the resort, and he was nowhere to be seen. It seemed he had abandoned me.“I asked you a question! Why did you try to kill that gentleman!” The officer yelled, slamming
Chapter Twenty-fiveThe EscapeSebastian The camera lights flashed at me, sending shivers down my body. Fear consumed me as I remembered the deepest secret of my life and the potential consequences if it were to be exposed to the public. I stood there, paralyzed, wondering who had alerted the reporters. Why were they here? Was this some orchestrated plan to force a confession out of me?I shook my head, retreating back into the police station. Grabbing Olivia's hand, I pulled her along with me and rushed to the officer in charge."Who called the reporters?" I asked, my heart racing, although I tried to hide it."The reporters?" He appeared just as clueless about their sudden presence as I was regarding how they knew about the station where Olivia was held. He shook his head. "I'll have them dismissed immediately, your highness," he added and hurried off.I nodded, acknowledging the authority I held. Wherever I went and whenever I wanted, I could command actions, but I often kept my i
