Chapter Eighteen.Aric.I adjusted in my seat as I watched her descend the stairs, memories of what happened the day before and how strict I sounded raced through my mind. I was down for dinner and expected her to join me, but Isa told me she said she wasn’t hungry. I knew that wasn’t true; she just didn’t want to come down, didn’t want to be close to me, and I caused that for myself.I cleared my throat as I watched her take each step slowly. When she looked up in my direction, I immediately withdrew my gaze and fixed it on my phone, so she wouldn't be put off and would leave without eating again. As if I knew what would happen, the next thing I heard was the squeaky sound of the door opening, and by the time I looked up, she was already stepping out of the house.I jumped up on my feet, conflicting emotions racing through my mind, unsure if I should go after her or just stay still. She was making herself go through this hunger, and it was all because of me. I felt like I should have
Chapter Nineteen Aric. After my brother's death, I had never for once felt any pain. No amount of knife stabs or gunshot could make me feel the same pain I felt when I saw my brother swimming in the pool of his own blood or when I held his cold body in my hands, lifeless and still. That was what I thought until Hailey, the woman I loved with every breath in me, and every single strand of hair on my body broke my heart. She didn’t just break my heart but broke it into multiple pieces that were unrepairable. I was thrown into total darkness with a big void to feel. I felt worthless and hopeless for the first time in my entire forty years of existence. I loved Hailey, more than I had loved every other woman I had met in the past. Yes, I have had multiple flings and been in a lot of relationships in the past but none of them had ever made me feel like Hailey did. She was the first woman that made me feel calm and safe. I decided to end everything that had to do with mafia activities,
Chapter One Caelia “Yes, Ethan, take me all in!" "Do not stop." I buried my face in my hands, trying to block off the haunting memories that continued to traumatize me. I could remember it all, the memories were clear as day; the most disgusting and agonizing scene I had ever seen in my entire existence. Even with my eyes closed, the disgusting scene of Ethan, naked with another man on what was supposed to be our matrimonial bed in a few days flashed before my eyes. Would it have been better if it was a girl? I had arrived home with a gift for him for his promotion at work. I was going to surprise him, but I got the greatest surprise of my life. When I arrived at his apartment, I found pairs of shirts and trousers lying on the floor. I thought they were his, left there in a hurry, but as I followed the trail, my ears were struck by moans and pleasure-filled cries. I froze. For minutes, I was like a statue, immovable. Could it be what I was thinking? I shook my head;
Chapter Two Caelia The moment I saw him, I knew it was either I melt into his arms tonight, or melt into his arms; there was no other option. As he walked out with me in his arms, I felt on top of the world. On top of the troubles with my mom, on top of the pain from Ethan’s betrayal, on top of the love I once had for him. I was on top of it all. My heart jiggled with excitement. Everything, every single thing about him was bursting off my brain, from his perfect set of teeth that enhanced his beautiful smile, to his enthralling green eyes that I was afraid to look into so I won't be more hypnotized than I was before, down to his groomed beards that caused goosebumps to prickle out of my skin whenever they brushed against me. And his smell? Gush! It was like an irresistible smell of one’s favorite petite meal; I could devour him if he gives me the chance to. I wanted him, I wanted to have a taste of this sweetness, my legs felt so weak. As we got out, he made a qui
Chapter Three Caelia His voice held so much authority and command that my hand immediately went to the button of my shirt. I began to unbutton it, my gaze fixed on him. His eyes were filled with admiration and longing, rather than Ethan’s emotionless eyes whenever I did something sexy or tried to strip to turn him on. Ethan would sometimes look away, even when I was completely naked; he turns me down whenever he wants. I gave it so much thought and arrived at the conclusion that I was the one who was insatiable, but I was wrong. He was just a freaking cock sucker! The man right in front of me has all I wanted at that moment; he was giving me every signal and body language I needed. He wanted me as much as I do. I pulled off my shirt, unhooked my bra, and dropped it to the floor; I saw him bite his lower lips, a seductive smile spreading across his lips. The smile broke every reluctance in me. I went down to my skirt and pulled it off, down to my panties. In the next minute, I was
Chapter Four.Caelia.If I had a choice, I would choose not to wake up from the sweet dream I had after one of the most beautiful nights of my life.I had more of him in my dreams, and I didn’t want it to stop just as I dreamed. I wanted to make it happen; I wanted to have this hot and irresistible stranger I had just met again.I rolled to the other side of the bed, hoping to be stopped by his broad shoulders and muscular body, but I rather landed hard on the cold white-tiled floor.I looked around as I groaned in pain and cleaned my naked body, pondering about where he could have gone so early in the morning. As I continued to gaze around, my eyes caught the clock, and a loud gasp escaped my lips when I saw the time; it was past ten.I jumped up from the floor and searched for my clothes, only to find them perfectly dry cleaned on the hanger. I rushed to it, grabbed them, and slipped into them. I knew even though I got home right that minute, I still wouldn’t be able to escape my mo
Chapter Five.AricShe had the most beautiful facial features, and one of the sexiest bodies i had ever seen. She was a great dancer, and her soft moans and low cries were like a melodious music to my ears, I had imagined spending another time with her, I couldn’t get her off my head, only to find out she was my niece.Was I really ill-fated like that shaman said back in New York? After Hailey left me, I found it difficult to do even the little things, but when I resorted to wines and getting women to suck me off, I was able to get her off my mind for a while. I thought I had found my own person again after meeting her, only for her to turn out to be my niece.Will these thoughts to have her once again go to waste? Will the imaginations of how I’d take her like she was mine go to waste? It had to. I couldn’t push myself into webs that’ll entangle me for life.Caelia wasn’t just my young niece; she was like a daughter to me. My brother’s last words were that I make sure that his daugh
Chapter Six.Aric.“Don’t leave, daddy,” she said in a hushed voice that sent cold shivers down my limbs, making my legs wobbly almost immediately.I looked up into her eyes, which instantly drew me in. It was as though she was casting a hypnotic spell on me with those beautiful eyes of hers. I couldn’t move or say anything; I couldn’t even think straight. In all my forty years, I had never found myself so speechless, never found myself in a situation where I was lost for what to do.I felt like a toddler.She pulled me back into the room, and I followed her as though she had a remote control, directing my every move. I couldn’t protest or pull back. She stopped and went back to the door to lock it. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her bum, wiggling as she walked.When she returned to me, the smile on her face was replaced with a huge smirk that made me wonder what she wanted to say. She grabbed my hands again, urging me to look into her eyes, but my gaze swayed down to her chest. Her expos
