“I think you’re just overreacting,” I said as I waved off his concerns.“Also, it is inaccurate to say that you don’t matter,” Zain said so softly that I almost didn’t catch his words at first.“What do you mean by that?” I asked as I tore my gaze away from the sparkling diamond necklace that I had been eyeing.“You do matter…” Zain replied in short.The way he said those words to me sounded sincere enough to make my chest feel tight. I wanted to believe him but that didn’t mean that I completely understood what he meant. I cocked my head slightly to the side as I pondered and flipped around his words in my mind. The movement of the boutique door opening caught my attention as my eyes focused on the person that had just walked in. For a moment, I couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing.“You’re finally here…” Zain said without hiding his relief.It felt like he was truly glad to be somewhat relieved of his duties. I was too stunned to react to Zain’s words as my eyes felt glued to th
I wanted to tell him that I didn’t want a diamond ring, but something told me that Bradon wouldn’t put this matter to rest unless I decided on a ring.“I’m not sure. Anthony, can you help me pick out a few that you like?” I asked as I forced a smile that I hoped looked natural.Since I couldn’t come up with any other reason why he was doing something like this, I figured that he must be playing the role of Anthony by acting as the perfect husband in front of everyone. He must have regretted that slip up that happened at the office. Perhaps, he didn’t intend for his lover to turn up like that. It would make Anthony look bad and it would cause a lot of trouble if news about that woman’s sudden appearance were to spread. I nodded my head slightly as the dots began to connect. In order to cover up for that, Bradon needed to create evidence that Anthony was still the perfect loving husband and that our relationship was smooth like butter. That must be it because I couldn’t think of any oth
I felt lost in a trance as I wondered what it was that I was feeling and what was making me feel that way. The slightly cold hardness of the ring sliding along the length of my ring finger brought me back to my senses. Bradon was staring right at my face as he seemed to observe my reactions. His eyes met and held mine and I felt trapped in their beautiful blue depths. At that moment, everything surrounding us seemed to fade away and it felt like we were the only ones in our private little world. I felt the ring at the base of my finger. As if it had been custom made for me, the ring felt like a very perfect fit.“I think it looks amazingly perfect on you, Lady Diana,” the store manager spoke up brightly.I could almost hear the shattering sound of glass as the spell that held us together seemed to have been broken. My eyes blinked rapidly as I tore my gaze away from Bradon’s so that I could focus on the ring sitting on the base of my ring finger. The large diamond stood out against my
I wanted to wring his neck but all I could do was smile and duck my head slightly like I was consumed with shyness. The manager smiled and I could tell that she adored our display of affection for each other a little too much and then she offered to put the ring in boxes for us.“We’ll just wear it. You can pack the boxes…” Bradon told her easily.“Right away. About the payment, shall I put it on your account?” she politely inquired.Since she thought that Bradon was Anthony, it did make sense that she would offer to charge it to his account just like what was done for regular VVIP customers.“You don’t need to put it on any account. Just use this card,” Bradon replied as he handed her a card.My eyes widened slightly when I realized that he was going to pay for it with his own money instead of Anthony’s. Perhaps it was because the purchase was high in value, and he didn’t want to bother his brother with the spontaneous purchasing decision that he had made.“Shall we?” Bradon said inv
‘He did tell me often enough that you two were only getting married in name only…’He was just with her, so how dare he kiss me like that?I wasn’t sure if I was more furious, disgusted, or shocked. My body trembled as I began breathing faster. Anger and dark thoughts swirled in my head as we locked eyes. It wasn’t as if I lacked experience with men or that I could claim to be a pure un-soiled angel of some sort and it wasn’t like I thought that he was an inexperienced virgin either. In fact, I had realized from the very first night that we spent together that he was beyond well-versed in how to pleasure the bodies of women. That could only mean that he has had many lovers before and there were no reasons for me to believe that he would have lovers right now.I should have known.To be more accurate, I knew all along but had probably let that fact slip from my mind for my own convenience. I told myself that I didn’t care about his past, his present, and also his future because it all
He leaned all over me as my entire body stiffened in panic. Bradon gave me a cold glare before he reached for the seatbelt and fastened it. I immediately reached to unfasten the seatbelt again and that was when the car suddenly charged forward. My mouth dropped open when I realized that he had just sped past the red light.Did he just…run a red light?“I just ran a red light to keep you in your seat. You don’t have to look so shocked; I haven’t killed anyone…yet…” he said without looking at me.The night lights lining the side of the street whizzed by so fast that my body stiffened from a mix of fear and also shock. I didn’t think that Bradon would get that angry with my attempt to get out of the car. If anything, I was quite certain that he didn’t want me to be there with him either. It must have felt unpleasant and bothersome for him to have to spend time with me. I thought that I might be saving us both the trouble if I simply just got out of the car. Maybe just like Zain, Bradon s
I had no idea what exactly he was referring to and that was because I had probably done countless things within the past few hours that he would disapprove of. I wasn’t sure if he was referring to the fact that I turned up to see him without permission, or the fact that I went out and spent quite a lot of money on my foolish shopping errand, or because I yelled at him about his disgusting lover. Then there was that matter of me trying to get out of the car while we were stuck at a red light on the road.“Do what?” I replied blankly.Bradon’s blue eyes narrowed slightly at me, and I wanted to bite on my tongue for saying what I had just said. I had no idea why I said something like that, but it felt like whatever I said to him lately would end up rubbing him the wrong way. Bradon’s cold gaze fell on my face, but he didn’t say anything. I heard the car door opening and then Bradon got out of the car.“He didn’t have to get so mad…” I muttered to myself.Suddenly, the door on my side was
“Did you think that I kissed her like this?” he asked after his lips parted from mine.I was too absorbed in panting hard to catch my breath to provide him with any audible answer. It felt like he understood what I was thinking more than myself. It did bother me when I thought of him kissing her.“Mhmm…” I whimpered when his lips crushed against mine again.His kisses felt more aggressive than usual. The pressure of his lips against mine felt bruising and punishing, but at the same time, I had to admit that it felt so pleasurable and I couldn’t seem to get enough. I began kissing him back again while entwining my tongue eagerly with his. He kissed me long and hard before releasing my mouth.“Ahh…Ahh…” I moaned as I panted.Bradon pressed his thigh upward against my pussy. As he lifted his thigh higher, it felt like I had no choice but to straddle his leg. The way his leg was pressing up against my wet pussy felt amazingly satisfying. Soon enough, I could no longer resist the temptatio
