ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POV
After several hours had passed, the night sky appeared. It was filled with lots of shining stars, though there was no presence of the moon. It doesn’t seem like it would rain anytime soon, but just to be sure, I still hurried up to walk towards Greyson’s club. It wasn’t that far from where he left me, so I really didn’t have to be troubled with riding any vehicle. I haven’t even arrived at the exact location yet, but I can already hear the deafening noise that came from the ladies and gentlemen who were inside. I breathed in heavily at the same time that I gulped. There should be nothing that I should be nervous about. If Greyson plans to do something indecent to me, then I guess I should just let him be. I mean, why would I even try to resist when I’ve experienced something far worse from my own father? Even my mom just kept on tolerating whatever he did to me instead of trying to stop it from happening again. When I opened the doors, the scents of alcohol and cigarettes mixed up. I’m not used to it yet, but I can still manage. I roamed my eyes around; everyone seemed to be enjoying the time of their lives. I couldn’t find Greyson no matter where I looked, so I decided to take a seat at the nearest one here. “Hey.” I heard a man speak from the right side, so I turned my head to glance at him. “Are you with anyone right now?” he asked, and I simply shook my head. “That’s odd. How can such a beautiful lady like you be alone? Do you mind if we drink tonight?” he offered as he showed me a bucket of different types of wine. “No thanks.” I got away from where I was sitting and decided to just go to different spots where no one could approach me. I’m not that comfortable with random people going straight for whatever they are planning to do with me. It’s disgusting. I heard him click his tongue at the same time that he decided to drop the bucket, which obviously made a disturbing and irritating sound. “You’re coming with me, whether you like it or not. That’s one of the rules here at this club. You should not have come here if you didn’t have any plans to hang out with men!” he yelled at me as if he were someone whom I knew for a long time already. He gripped onto my wrist, which almost made me shriek because of the pain that it caused me. “Let me go!” I shouted since he would not hear me if I toned down. Even though I’ve repeatedly hit his hand, he still wouldn’t remove his hold on mine. It just kept getting stronger and stronger. “Didn’t you hear what the woman said?” a familiar voice asked from afar. I couldn’t find where it came from, but I got a feeling that it was Greyson. “Let her go, human,” he coldly added. Just with those words, it was enough for the man to finally let my wrist go. I didn’t manage to catch a glimpse of him again since he suddenly started to sprint away. “Go upstairs, Angelique,” he ordered. “I’m here already, Greyson,” I said as I made my way inside a room that was open, where he was standing and giving me the signal to get inside. He locked the door, and that was the time when I felt goosebumps. I was already expecting what was about to happen when he started getting close to me. His hands began to go under my shirt while he was behind me; his touch was making me heat up from the inside. I felt how his legs made mine spread apart, even though we were still standing. Greyson didn’t waste a single second; he led the way to the bed as he carefully laid me down with my back on the bed. “You’re so gorgeous as always, my Angelique,” he murmured as he planted kisses on my neck, going down to my breasts right after he successfully removed all of my clothing. I held onto his back, and I unconsciously opened my mouth when I saw how large his thing was. “Is that real?” I asked out of curiosity. “You’ll know once it gets in.” He smirked as he began to slowly thrust inside me while he was holding on to both of my legs to serve as support. I started to bury my fingernails in his back when he went from slow to fast in just an instant. I could feel his length deep inside me; it still hurt, even though this wasn’t my first time anymore. I don’t know why Greyson is not reacting to it or why he’s not asking; I’m sure that he could already sense it by now—that he wasn’t the one who took my virginity away from me. He sucked on my nips as he continued to pleasure me from deep within. I can’t seem to understand why I found this such a great night, even if I shouldn’t be feeling this way. It was as if I would be delighted no matter how many times we got intimate with one another, as long as it’s Greyson who would do it. He brought his thing out of mine as he stood straight on the side of the bed. His crotch was undeniably lengthy, and it seemed like he could no longer wait for it to be erected. There seemed to be something about me that’s making him like this. He was overly aroused, and there wasn’t anything that I could have done that would make him dissatisfied with me. No matter what course of action I took, he was always getting even more excited. “Kneel, Angelique,” he hoarsely said as he gazed down to the ground where he wanted me to kneel, which was directly in front of him.ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVEven though I was told to kneel down, I didn’t do it until Greyson was forced to dress himself back up, and that was also the exact same moment that I did the same. There was clearly no reason for me to do what he wanted me to do, not until there was some kind of benefit for me to do so. I firmly stood up, as I was facing him. Memories from our school years flashed back through my mind, and I swear, I can still sense at least a little bit of my feelings for him, and it actually bothers me. I mean, it has been years since we’ve last seen one another, and I believed that he would not be coming back to our country. Even though we had mutual feelings before, I never told him about whatever was going on in my family, which is why he wasn’t able to do anything about it. I’m at least half a hundred percent certain that he would be doing everything that he can under any circumstance just for him to be able to do something to save me, just to keep me away from my so-ca
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVThe surroundings were more peaceful than before. Greyson has left me alone in the room upstairs, making it possible for me to clearly hear the disco music that was playing downstairs.It was quite a dilemma, and I still can’t believe how things turned out this way. I never knew that the day would come when I would still be able to meet him again. Moreover, I’m asking him for a favor. Years ago, it was the other way around; I was always the one who assisted him with his academics. And now that he has obviously improved, maybe he’s just trying to pay the favor.The beating of my heart seemed to be normal, despite the unusual scenario between us. Seeing the naked body of a man, or be it someone else seeing me without any clothes on, is a typical occurrence in my life that my parents made me grow up into. I never got traumatized since I believed that it was for the best and that if I made someone pleased with my performance, I’d be praised.“Angelique.”My thoughts
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVAlong with the fact that I had no accessories, money, or even a phone to contact Greyson or anyone else that I knew, I also didn’t have a home to return to. It would definitely be risky for me to go back to where I used to live with my parents. The police might have already arrived at the forest where I left the both of them, and they are most probably hunting me since I was their only child.The streets that were filled with distant light posts were the ones that served as illumination in this dim place. It was already past midnight, and I still hadn’t eaten. Despite the current time, there was still a huge crowd inside and outside of Greyson’s bar since this is a nightclub.“Uhm, excuse me? Don’t you want to get in?” asked by a woman’s voice from behind. I didn’t need to turn around to see who it was since she stood right beside me, holding onto a piece of cigarette that she was lighting up.I shook my head. “I’ve been inside for hours. Thanks for the concer
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVThe low temperature of my body seemed to make me freeze from where I was standing after Greyson and I turned around to face Joy. He held one of my hands, and that was the only one that was warm, and even though I wasn’t comfortable with it, I still let him grip my hand tighter.“I’m a year older than Angelique, and there’s something that I would like to confirm first before allowing a stranger to conduct an investigation on her,” Greyson said, stepping forward to place me behind him. His broad back was covering the view of that woman, who was making me nervous.I can’t believe how he’s trying to protect me.I heard the loud sigh of Joy, as if she had already given up before putting up a battle. “Considering how I am still a mere trainee, I’d let this disrespect of yours slide.” The rustling sounds of the leaves that were on the ground kept vibrating in my ears as she successfully walked right beside me. “I believe that the both of you are no longer minors, am I
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVRubbing my eyes upon the disturbance of the sunlight that shone through the glass window beside the cabinet of the room, I realized that I had spent the night together with Greyson in a room that was neither mine nor his. “W-where are we?” I loudly asked, pulling the bedsheet near my chest even though I wasn’t even naked.“Can you tone down a bit?” Greyson sounded pissed, making it seem like he didn’t care who it was that asked him. “I didn’t touch your damn body, Angelique. Calm down. I just didn’t know what to do with you after you passed out hours ago,” he continued.I remained seated in the same position as I stared at him, slowly blinking his eyes to remove the feeling of being sleepy. “What do you mean?”Greyson sat on the edge of the bed. “I didn’t want to leave you alone in my bar, so I figured out that bringing you to a hotel would be the best solution. Mostly for now, I still haven’t processed anything regarding your mansion,” he answered, which cleare
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVThe magnificent sensation of bearing jewelry filled with diamonds on my ring finger still seems surreal. Truth be told, this is the first time that someone has ever surprised me this way. During the days when I was still a student, I used to be courted but was always mistreated.No man bothered to give me flowers or even the bare minimum of giving me the assurance that they’re in love with me as a person, and not just because of my body.“Are you still not over how I gave you the ring?” Greyson asked as we were heading over to the building of his friend’s company.I shrugged both of my shoulders. “I can’t believe how you didn’t even think of proposing in a proper way,” I jokingly said. When I turned to look at his expression, there was something missing. It doesn’t seem like he was in the mood for jokes, and his mind was kind of occupied. “Now that we’re disguised as couples who weren’t even married officially, should we still set boundaries?” I asked to ensur
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVThe rapid state of my heartbeat just can’t seem to calm down. There’s no way that I would be able to handle this kind of work. I’ve gone through the worst experience there because of my parents, who used to regularly touch my body as they pleased. I wouldn’t be able to ignore and live my life at peace if I witnessed Greyson f*cking women as he desires.“Don’t you have a sense of guilt with all of the things you’ve done so far, Greyson?” I made sure to roll my eyes as I uttered my question. “Didn’t you used to care so much for us women? Wasn’t it the same reason why you chose to own me back then, since you didn’t want to see me getting clingy with anyone else other than you?” I added, remembering how much passion he had stored for the sake of gaining my trust.Greyson avoided making eye contact with me as he glanced at his wristwatch, as if he were waiting for someone impatiently. “Ah, hey, over here!” Greyson raised one of his hands to grab someone’s attention.
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POV“W-what..?” I was at a loss for words when I heard the news from his own mouth. “Greyson Giovanni, please tell me that you’re kidding around right now. Take back what you said and tell me that it was a mere hoax,” I said, which kind of sounded desperate of me.Greyson didn’t respond; he was standing there with his shoulders moving slowly in an upward and downward motion. His breathing was heavy, and I could feel that he wasn’t joking and that my mom really was alive.When I soon came to realize that it was the truth, my world seemed to have stopped.“There’s still no concrete evidence regarding your mother; I still have some investigation to work on, so don’t panic that much, Angelique. You can assure me that your father is gone from this world, since he was the one who received such a fatal blow from you back at the forest that night,” Greyson softly whispered to me to at least calm me down. He must have seen that I’ve been shaking. “For now, you should stay
