Chapter Fourteen: 'Just Married'
Trigger Warning: Anxiety and mentions of suicide attempt.
My world feels as if it has fallen silent as my hands reach towards my lower back to scratch the persistent and annoying itch that doesn’t seem to go away; it only switches its location.
The longer the silence, the more intense the sensation, to the point that my skin feels as if it is burning.
“Elizabeth?”
Christopher calls as he turns on the lights in the room.
My gaze instantly falls to the floor; I don’t want to see the look in his eyes. All I want is to pry my skin apart; pain is better than this insatiable desire to scratch.
“Elizabeth!”
He yells; this time, I feel my nails leave my skin forcefully as my hands are arrested above my frame by the man who now towers above me.
My gaze unconsciously flies to his burning green ones, and instead of anger or disgust, all I can see is confusion in his eyes.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"No..

The whooshing sounds from other vehicles pass by, if not for them and the smooth sound of the engine, the silence between Christopher and I would have been awkward."I don't want to kill another member of my family."Christopher finally answers.Another? Does he mean Victoria or..."Don't make me have to."He adds, interrupting my racing mind.I can’t believe I let someone like him see through my mask.He is the one person I never wanted to show this pathetically broken side of me."Husband of the year."I mutter weakly and shut my eyes before resting my head on the chair’s back.By the time we got to the ‘honeymoon’ villa, it was two a.m.Unlike the mansion, this villa is made using Arabic architecture that gives it a summer look despite it being cold.From one glance, I can tell that Henry will enjoy playing here.As we make our way to the main entrance, Christopher s

A strange sound leaves Christopher's lips, and before I can identify it as a laugh, it stops.For a few seconds, I remain stunned at the brightness that still lingers on his face."How will it ‘rot and fall off’? I don’t believe you will last without sex. You were the woman who taught me that my cock can still pick up vibrations from a dildo shoved in your ass-”"I don't plan to take in sex partners or lovers, so just take care of your needs while we are staying here."I interrupt before he says any more crass things, but I can still feel the back of my neck heat up in memory of a pleasure that I have denied myself for almost five years.I don’t want to take in lovers, even former ones; the stalking incident cemented this decision. I'd much rather ease my frustrations with sex toys."That isn’t going to happen, Elizabeth. Not until you-""Why?”I interrupt as I shake my head from side t
Trillionaire After Divorce Chapter One: At Least
"You should sign."Vincent says with ease as he hands me a blue pen over the poor excuse of a ‘bed in breakfast’ he set up.I can humour his attempt at making pancakes by eating them despite them being undercooked, but the attempt at wooing me seems attached to a ridiculous document.The more I skim it, the more the grease used to make the pancake rises up my throat.I can't believe this."What?"I ask, just to make sure he is aware of what he is asking."Sign the documents. The doctors will only take a small piece of your liver and give it to my mother. It's a perfectly safe solution."I know his mother has a liver issue, and a few weeks ago, we all tested out of formality to see who a perfect match would be to donate. Still, she is the same woman who slapped me because I ‘oversalted’ her son’s food even though Vincent said it was fine—forgive me if my liver testing was more out of ‘peer pressure’ than the genuine interest to help her.“You said you would help.”Vincent reminds me whe
Trillionaire After Divorce Chapter Two: Anything
"What?" Vincent asks, a deathly stillness lacing his voice. “Divorce, I want a divorce.” "A divorce for what? Tasha, explain why you are here; show her the stain on your clothes." He insists, and so I turn to her, but a frozen panic marks her expression. "I-I-...Livy, don't you believe your husband?” Hah…so much for ‘friendship.’ "I am Olivia to you now, to both of you.” "Where the hell do you think you are going?" Vincent asks with a raised voice as I spin away from him. I need to leave this house; I can get my things later. “Livy! I asked you a question: where the hell do you think you are going?” "Away." "Stop right there!" He calls after me, but I do not; this could be the first time I have disobeyed him while he is aggressive with his anger. I can't help the racing of my heart that feels constricted in my chest or the pounding of my head at the facts that I ignored; of course, this is why he stopped sleeping with me because he could sate his lust elsewhere! I can't
Trillionaire After Divorce Chapter Three: Period
“Anything?” The more the man repeats that word, the more sinful it sounds. But I can give ‘anything’ and everything to keep my organs intact; I have no qualms about donating, but can't it be to someone I can wish well for? Can't it be by my will? Can't I have more of a say than this? So, I guess in this case, ‘anything’ fits. I nod slowly to the man’s repetition, and his chuckle echoes as he bends over to collect me from the ground. "Boss, I can carry her." One of the men in black around him offers, but he shakes his head. "She is my dog now." My arms surround his shoulders, accepting his demeaning term of me because if I can survive the night, then I will clutch on to the devil himself. The man smells good, like aftershave and a subtle hint of expensive cologne. His deep chuckle follows when I bury my nose against his chest. “She even smells me like a dog.” He utters, making me jerk my face away from him. Shit. This is embarrassing. “Well, don't stop now, doggy. I'm your
Trillionaire After Divorce Chapter Four: Everything
The butterflies in my stomach seem to want to spill. My gaze lands on the first seat in the lab before I slump down, starting with the heavy books in my arms. I should have brought a backpack. A person from beside me clears their throat; she is pretty with dark hair, brown eyes and light freckles that greatly disservice her bold and rebellious make up choice. Come to think of it, weren't the people at the table noisy before I sat? Did I interrupt them? Good job, Olivia; let’s ruin our first day of university! "I'm sorry." I begin, "Was there someone sitting here?" "Yes." The dark-haired woman answers before a handsome man with dark eyes interrupts her. "Cut her some slack, Tasha. You can sit. I'm the one who kept quiet; I was...rapping. Which is probably not the most ideal thing to do in a classroom." He responds with a faint blush. "You rap?" I ask, and his face softens to a smile before his lips part, letting eloquent and somewhat raunchy lines about my eyes and lips fl
Trillionaire After Divorce Chapter Five: White Chocolate
Matteo D’Amico Olivia Lawson had light brown hair that resembled honey, hazel eyes with a slight blue hue, soft, plump lips, and a body that the gods must have carved. He loved the sight of the ass that had wiggled on the floor as its helpless owner crawled desperately to safety at the hospital. She looked beautiful when she turned to him, even with her eyelids half closed and her body trembling with fear. He loved how she clung to him afterwards as if he were her beacon of hope. Of course, he was at the time. She had been interesting enough to grab his attention, and when she asked for a divorce from her supposed husband, he saw a chance with her. He could pretend to be her friend, pretend to be sympathetic, pretend to understand her until he could have her for a night and rid himself of the lust he felt around her, but Christ on a cracker, she was a Lawson. He had been looking for an opportunity to get close to the family; most ‘old money’ families feared him, but the Lawsons h
