Charlotte always hoped for forever with her college sweetheart, Jonah, but after their marriage, the man she gave her heart took her freedom and turned her into a shadow of herself. He married another woman for her money and dumped Charlotte to the curb because of his greed. Broken, with no hope from anywhere, her savior comes in form of the man she least expected, her ex’s uncle. Xavier Roman is the wealthiest man in the state, a zillionaire whose income cannot be counted. He proposes a contract marriage to his nephew’s ex-wife in order to silence the ugly rumors surrounding him and she agrees out of desperation. In return, he promises to help her exert her revenge on everyone who wronged her, and spoil her beyond imagination. Driven by hate and jealousy, her ex-husband returns with his family, tarnishing her image in every way they can to get back at her, but she cannot be touched because of the man whose name she is affiliated with. What happens when she starts to want more than just his money? What happens when he realizes that it was never just business for him? How will she ever get over him, when coupled with his money, he shows her in more ways than one, what it means to be truly pleasured by a man…?
Lihat lebih banyakWhen Charlotte woke up the next morning, she spread her arms around the space Xavier had slept during the night but was disappointed to find it empty. Rubbing her eyes, she looked around but saw no sign of Xavier. She frowned. After everything that had happened last night, he had left without a word? Before she could come to any wrong conclusions however, she saw a white paper by the small wooden cupboard beside the bed. It was a note from Xavier that read: “Sorry I had to leave so early. I would have told you, but you looked so peaceful, I didn’t want to wake you. I love you. It was great hearing you say it last night as well as other things…” Charlotte blushed and placed the note on her chest. Okay, maybe he wasn’t such a dick that morning. Her eyes widened when she unlocked her phone and saw the time. It was several minutes after nine. She couldn’t believe she had slept for that long without waking up. Okay, maybe she knew why, but still. Xavier had been in the same pos
Charlotte’s eyes rolled into their head when the first thrust from Xavier came, shutting up anything she would have had to say. This position had always been too intense for her, especially when he held both her hands together on her back and thrust in and out of her without stopping. She moaned out loud when he began to hit her g-spot, her back arching naturally and the pressure from her body being stretched soon disappeared. Without warning, he lifted her from her shoulders and placed her hands on the headboard of the bed, making her arch her back more than before. Her mouth hung open as his thrusts seemed to get deeper and the feeling of the front of his crotch hitting her butt drove her crazy. “You think I’m still into her, huh?” He asked in a strained voice that shook as he moved. “You think I’d rather leave all of this, all of you, for her? For anyone?” She smiled as her moans got louder. “You’re literally perfect!” He groaned, turning her on her back and laying at
“I’ve missed you,” Xavier mumbled, his breath dangerously close to her ear, making her shiver. “Every part of you…” He wrapped his arms around her, using one hand to rub her waist and the other to knead her butt. She could feel the pressure from his groin on her back. She swallowed, keeping her arms by her side because she wasn’t about to show him she wanted this as much as he did after all she had just said. She didn’t have to try so hard anyway. She wasn’t fooling anyone. From the sharp intake in her breath each time his fingers found a new spot on her body to nest in, he could sense the need radiating off of her. “Xav…” she whispered when he lifted her off so slightly and placed her on the bed. “Shh,” he interrupted as he lay atop her and began to place feathery kisses all over her ears and neck. She gasped once again when his hands slipped into her nightdress and pulled it off her in one swift movement. His hands were everywhere, rubbing and kneading and so was his mouth,
It was evening and Mia and her daughter had just left Xavier’s home. Charlotte was in her room with her husband, as they prepared for the night. Xavier had been irritated ever since he got back from the hospital, mostly because she vehemently refused to let him start some investigative work right after, but now, he was acting more irate than ever. “Is everything okay?” Charlotte asked him when he angrily tossed the remote when it wouldn’t work. “Of course,” he scoffed. “I almost lost all my organs because my ex wife poisoned me with what can be considered a love potion, my convicted nephew is back, your sister’s entire family is here, and right now I’m in the midst of a police investigation that might not end well for me, so yeah. I’m terrific,” he said in a dry voice. Charlotte frowned. “I was just being nice,” she said, wishing she hadn’t said anything at all. “Sorry I said anything and sorry my sister’s family is such an inconvenience to you. Maybe we can all go down to t
“I don’t even want to see his stupid face,” Julia said, crossing her arms after the prisoners warden announced they could see Jonah. “No matter what happened, he’s still your brother and my son. If anything, we deserve some closure,” Mia said, getting up. “He could have just died there. Why bother showing his stupid face here just to bring back the shame his absence brought and to be thrown in jail?” “Julia. Stop being so insensitive. This is not the time, please,” Mia pleaded. Julia crossed her arms in defiance. “Didn’t you see the stares people gave us when we came here? We were already getting used to living like paupers with people overlooking us but now his presence has reminded them about us. It’s all over the news!” “Julia…” Julia sighed. “I’m tired mom. I’ve never been this hopeless in my life.”“It will be alright. Just believe me,” Mia said and held her daughter’s hand. “We’re at our worst now. There’s no other place left for us to go but up.” Julia pulled her hand
Charlotte blinked twice before laughing drily and screaming h into her hands. Kate rubbed her back, understanding her sister’s reaction to the news of the return of her ex-husband, who was responsible for more than half of her predicament. “Who told you?” Charlotte asked. “I overheard on of the officers say it before they entered the ward some minutes ago.” “Maybe that’s why they asked me to leave the ward,” Charlotte thought to herself. “You know what, he’s not my problem right now,” she sniffled. “I have so much on my plate right now, but since he was dumb enough to return now, he’ll definitely be dealt with in due time. I mean, if the police were talking about him, then that means they’re on his case. Though at this point with everything that has happened with them, I’m not sure if that’s good or bad for us.” “There’s something I want to ask, Charlie.” “What is it?” Kate sighed. “Isn’t Carlos his bodyguard? Why wasn’t he around when this happened? And why isn’t here n
“What did you just say?” It was Charlotte who asked the question with loud voice that made the doctor flinch. He cleared his throat. “I just asked him a question to make sure…” “Make sure about what? What sort of insensitive human being are you? You’re seriously saying my husband would poison himself on purpose?” “That’s the same claim you’re making about Mrs Laura as well if I’m not mistaken,” the doctor quipped. “And let’s not forget it was an aphrodisiac. They may have both agreed to take it on purpose and accidentally took too much. And now he has seen the mess it has caused, he’s trying to pin it all on her. At least that’s what the police are saying.” Charlotte shook her head and almost charged, but Xavier held her back. “I can assure you that didn’t happen,” Xavier said with a calm voice. “Although, I must admit that theory does make sense.” The door opened and the two officers who Charlotte thought had gone for good came through it. “We’ll continue the ques
“Xavier,” she whispered as tears filled her eyes. His heart rate was fortunately normal according to the heart rate monitor above him and his chest was heaving slowly, so that meant he was breathing fine on his own. “Charlotte,” Xavier whispered, opening his eyes. “Xav…,” she muttered, looking at him carefully. “Are you okay? How do you feel?” “Better now that you’re here,” he said with a smile as he tried to sit up. “No, stay…” “Relax. I’m not in any pain,” he assured her. “I’ve just been close to unconscious for so long because of all the drugs. How are you?” She sighed. “You asked me to call the police before you passed out and I did, but now they’re acting like my confession is ridiculous. Somehow they believe this is all a PR stunt you and Laura pulled to stay in the public eye.” Xavier began to laugh, making Charlotte puzzled. “Why are you laughing?” She asked. “I wouldn’t have expected any different.” “Then why did you ask me to call them?” “So that when I com
“So you’re saying my husband and this woman poisoned themselves on purpose just so they can be on the news?” Charlotte asked in disbelief. “The public is already obsessed with him. Even when he breathes, news outlets all over the world post about it!” “I’m not saying anything,” the doctor argued, raising his hands in surrender. “I was just giving my opinion…” “Well your opinion is stupid,” Charlotte said without thinking. But it wasn’t as if she even regretted it. “Excuse me?” “What’s the point of what you’re saying?” Charlotte pressed. “My husband is in the hospital in critical care at the verge of losing an organ and you’re here telling me, his grieving wife that this is all a PR stunt? What kind of doctor are you? If this how you practice medicine, I wonder how you still have your license.” The man’s eye widened momentarily as the looming threat hung in the air. Someone like Charlotte, with the power and connections she had from simply being married to Xavier could get his lic
