I said do you want to have sex with me?” He asked again when Vanessa didn't reply.
She just stood there wet, her hair in a wet mess, the water dripping down onto the skin of her exposed shoulder,
Her skin looked soft and her body.
By God, her curvy well formed body.
She looked so innocent with a not so innocent body.
she tried to cover herself with a material dress but that didn't help
Her full well rounded breasts, on display, the bra she had on wasn't covering anything up either.
She pressed against it, making it more defined.
He followed the trail of water, running down her stomach.
Her small waist connecting to her much broader hips, followed by her beautiful legs all on display before him.
His gaze went back up to her face, she looked so innocent and guilty.
Her big green eyes following his gaze, her cherry red lip pressed into a thin line.
The picture before him looked inviting.
Very inviting.
He felt his loins tighten.
She was indeed beautiful, almost like he was noticing her now.
Probably because she was almost naked.
And then he thought bad things.
Bad things he wanted to do her, would still look at him so, when he was inside of her.
How loudly would she scream.
He wasn't meant to be attracted to her
So where did this come from?
“No!” she said, a look of disgust crossing her face, and he saw it.
So now he disgusted her?
Days ago, she was begging him and now he disgusted her.
She is saying no to his advances.
He got angry
She was the one who got into his pool half naked and now she's looking disgusted at him.
He saved her and her family from bankruptcy and now she's disgusted by him?
“What do you mean no?... You didn't set this up, for me to find you in my backyard naked?”
“I would never do something like that… I do not see you that way?” She said again before biting on her lower lip.
His bulge grew,
His desire heightened.
Vanessa watched him, she tried to move but she found herself frozen to the spot, the look on his face was entirely different from the ones she was familiar with.
His eyes were a different shade of grey now and he looked different, staring her through.
His gaze running through her body, sent even more shivers down her spine.
She felt like she was being studied under a microscope.
He wanted to be intimate with her?
That was insane!!!
She couldn't give herself to someone like him.
She wasn't even sure she was going to be able to satisfy him.
She knew nothing about satisfying a man.
“But you would, if I were Andrew isn't that right?”
“I-”
“I don't wanna hear it, i do not engage with women of your type… you may be beautiful but definitely not up to my standards, do a better job at covering yourself around me. I live here as well” he said coldly,his face back to being expressionless. With his hands in his pockets, he gave her the dirtiest look he could muster before leaving.
How dare she turn him down
No one had ever done that.
He was Adrian Knight
The ADRIAN KNIGHT.
“I'm sorry!” She said quietly after him, wondering if it was the cold or his words that made her feel sick.
*********************
Vanessa cut up the vegetable, lost in thoughts.
It's been a week since her wedding and she had spent the rest of the week after the “incident” avoiding Adrian.
And here she was back to her job at her dad's restaurant like nothing life changing had just happened to her.
The loads of congratulatory messages she was getting from the rest of the staff was becoming overwhelming and annoying.
She just wanted to dive into work and forget that she had the worst husband ever.
For the rest of the day, she focused on preparing meals.
“You gold digger” was what she heard before being yanked by the hair and thrown to the floor.
Vanessa looked around to understand the situation before a woman pounced on her, slapping and punching the air out of her before she was pulled away by the co workers.
Vanessa was helped up from the floor, a painful tingle erupting from her right eye.
She recognized the strange woman to be the person who showed up at her wedding with a wedding dress on.
Mitchelle?
“Do you think you can get away with taking my man away from me?, well you better think twice you golddigger!” She yelled at Vanessa, struggling to free herself from one of the workers who held her away from vanessa.
The person she had an issue with was Adrian and not her.
And also she didn't need Adrian at all, she didn't even want to be married to him.
This wasn't what she wanted at all.
“Have some self respect will you?” Sarah's younger sister yelled back, she had just come into the kitchen to see the commotion going on.
“What did you say to me, you little twat?”
“You heard me?... Here you are fighting over a man who gives zero fucks about you, if you died tomorrow, do you actually think he would care… so why don't you go embarrass yourself somewhere else and leave my sister the fuck alone!”
“Oh I see… on a normal day, you wouldn't even be able to stare me in the eyes and here you are talking down on me”
“I really don't want to hear anymore of your crap!” Sarah said before picking up the mop from a mop bucket near the counter.
“Why don't you try hitting my sister again and see exactly how I will react” Sarah said looking her dead in the eye.
The lady huffed and puffed.
“You bitch!” She yelled again, “I can't believe that Adrian would leave me, for a low class like you”
“And yet, he chose her over you” Sarah retorted angrily.
“I am so not done with you!” She said pointing at Vanessa before storming out.
Sarah let go of the mop and turned to vanessa.
“Are you okay?” She asked Vanessa, who stood quietly at a corner. A part of her eye was red.
“You really do have to toughen up vee, if not these people are going to eat you alive” sarah said before drawing her sister in for a hug.
Vanessa buried her head in her sister's shoulder and cried.
The murmurs her coworkers not helping matters
at all.
Unknown to them, there was someone in the little crowd watching her intently with a little smile on his face.
Vanessa tucked the sheets beneath her mother carefully, it has been three days post her surgery and Vanessa has been her hands and feet, taking care of all her needs.She hasn't been back to the restaurant after the incident with mitchelle and trust social media to blow it out of proportion.There wasn't been a name on earth that she hasn't been called. Mitchelle being a lifestyle influencer and a fairy in the eyes of the public, the backlash she has been getting was insane. At some point, she was even accused of the miscarriage mitchelle had.How???She couldn't walk down the street without being pointed at, or jeered at. And so she tied herself to her mother's bedpost for three days now.At least taking care of her mother would keep her mind off the issue at hand Or so she thought.Adrian hasn't even reached out to know her whereabout.Social media was burning down on her at the moment and he couldn't care less.She heard someone clear their throat behind her breaking her out of
The streams of light blinded Vanessa for a moment as she slowly opened her eyes, trying to make out where she was. She sat up, immediately regretting the action, a splitting headache and wave of dizziness hitting her. She looked around her to find herself in a tiny room, her dress, purse and shoes laid sprawled on the floor.And she looked under the duvet covering her body to find herself clad in just her bra and panties.She crawled out of bed immediately, getting as far away from the bed as possible.“What happened to me?” she asked herself, trying to recollect what happened the night before.She remembered ordering a drink, while with Andrew's friend and now she wakes up half naked in a room.Have I been raped? She though to herself, as she felt herself up, but there was no uncomfortable pain between her legs and she didn't notice any blood stains on the bed.After sitting on the cold floor, imagining all scenarios in her head, she picked up her belongings from the floor, ready to
Adrian stood still for a while, locking eyes with Vanessa who was literally melting from the inside.“What do you mean the investments I made in his name are gone?” He finally said shifting away from Vanessa, who finally took a deep breath.They weren't discussing her.That must be a good thing right?Andrew wasn't going to rat her out.He really was a nice guy after all.She stood still for a while, watching Andrew pace up and down the living room, before she slowly made her way upstairs.She showered, scrubbing her body again and again and again.There was no way she had sex with the stranger from last night.Then how on earth did she end up in the room, half naked.She felt so violated.I must have been so drunk, I removed my clothes myself’ she said in a whisper trying to make herself feel better.Sitting in front of her vanity mirror, she slowly traced her fingers over the blood clothed marks running the length of her neck, wondering how that came about.HickeysFirst time she ev
It had been three days since the family dinner and after they went home, Adrian went back to pretending like she didn't exist. Back to being strangers under the same roof, he wasn't always around in the three weeks of their marriage and when he was around, she hardly saw him.Vanessa has spent every waking moment at the hospital after the dinner, she left early in the morning and went home late at night wondering if the truth had been exposed.What feared her the most was her missing phone.It had a picture she had taken of the contract. It would be so bad, if it leaked.Vanessa has been so worried, worried to the extent it affected her appetite and her stress levels super high.She had begun to lose weight, she looked awful, and the meals she made turned out tasting really bad.She couldn't concentrate anymore, the guilt was eating her up.She stood in front of the stove that morning trying to prepare breakfast and lunch for herself.She had started on the stew, hoping it wasn't go
Vanessa searched her phone frantically for Andrew's number, her eyes shifting between her screen and the road.Then she remembered she just got the new phone a day prior and hadn't backed it up yet.Curse that night, she hasn't even spoken to her sister ever since that day.She was still mad at her for inviting her out, and causing the turmoil she's been in ever since then.Vanessa drove and drove and drove until she lost the black car following her.She reached the outskirts of the city and parked on the not so busy road.It was already 11pm, and her phone was running low.Her phone rang and she picked “Where are you?” Adrian asked on the other end.“I think I'm on dawnville road, but you don't -'' she said, cutting short when she heard the call end.He cut the call on her.Why did he call in the first place?Adrian drove as fast as he couldHe was delayed for some time by his secretary, but he's mind wasn't there at all.Immediately he was done, he entered his car and drove off as
Vanessa sat with her back to him, pretending like she didn't hear him.“Good day sir, I am Marcus and I will be incharge of the renovations at the food hut and savannah restaurants “ Marcus said, extending a hand to Mr Davis, Vanessa's father for a handshake.Mr Davis reciprocated with a broad smile.“I can't thank you enough Mr Marcus” Vanessa's father said, still smiling from ear to ear.The news had made him so happy, he really deserved a break. “This is my daughter Vanessa,” he said, introducing Vanessa to Marcus.“Oh we've met… a number of times too” “I really do not recall that?” Vanessa lied.“Oh you do, princess… you definitely can't forget” Marcus replied with a snide smile.“What is he talking about vanny?” Her father asked her, confused.The doors flung open and in came Adrian, his secretary following behind him.“Mr Davis, you will go along with my secretary and Marcus, there are deeds you need to sign as well”. Adrian commanded and within seconds, the room emptied out.
The silence that followed that very statement was deafening.And then, Adrian burst into laughter.A hearty laughter which seemed to erupt from his soul, Vanessa has never seen him laugh before, and the sound of his laughter felt like music to her ears.“Do you think this is funny Adrian , I am 3 months pregnant for you!” she said, annoyed.“No you are not, and even if you were pregnant… it definitely won't be for me mitchelle, I advice you pick up comedy as a side hustle because apparently you are really good at it”“Adrian i-” “Shut it!” He snapped, shutting Mitchelle up. “The only person I want carrying my child is my wife, the love of my life” he said before signaling for Vanessa to come closer to him.“I'm going to tell your mother, that you are denying your child, this baby is the first grandchild of the knights… do you really think you deny it for long”“So you are threatening me now?” He asked flaring up.“Just wait until you become a mockery, when I make videos about you ab
Vanessa arrived home later that evening after dropping by at the hospital with her father to see her mother.She felt so happy for the first time in a long time, and so she reached for a wine from the wine cabinet and a glassThe good news called for a celebration and she was going to celebrate in the little way that she could.She began to uncork the wine, taking her time to look for the corkscrew and gave up after searching to no avail. She popped it open forcefully, not realizing it was aimed at her face, and so the cork was shot at her eye. “Son of a bitch!” she cursed out, the pain resonating in her eye, dropping the bottle which broke on impact with the floor.She searched frantically through the refrigerator for a pack of peas or corn, anything cold enough.She found a meat pack, and placed it anyway, sulking at the pain she was currently in. She heard the doors to the house fling open and then footsteps, followed by the doors being shut with a loud bang, which resonated thro
