CHAPTER 8.IRENE'S POV.I COULDN'T deal with everything, right before were two men that were trying to play masculine supremacy.I saw a flash of red, as I stared at them—From Nathaniel bleeding face to James angry one.The two men were agitated…For a minute I thought Nathan would come right at him, but he didn't. He just backed away from him.Looking back I saw two of the guards walking out, perhaps that was why Nathan had walked away.Watching as the car drove out of the park, I saw it turn round the bend and I was left with my husband.“Get her to the room.” He said as his guards approached us."What-" Before the words could leave my lips, I was lifted and dragged across the room.I banged my fist against the man but there was nothing I could do about all of this, at least more than give pretty screams.The guard dropped me in the room and shut the door, locking me in.All I wanted was to clear my head, after everything that had happened— it looked to me that he should be the o
CHAPTER 9IRENE'S POVHe would have asked for anything at that moment and in a way I would have done everything, done everything and the truth was I don't know why?Perhaps, it had to do with the life I was born into, in a way it was dark, so dark but at the same time it was transparent.I knew his world was darkness, I had seen it underneath his eyes as soon as I had signed the contract.In a way he made me aware of the fact that even something so good has its shadows.It took just a few seconds between drowning in his words and floating again and this time as I did I found myself walking…just waking like someone hypnotized.His words were compelling, and without even wanting to or even knowing it, I found myself walking toward him slowly.I should hate this man, I really should…in a way, I felt the need to stay detached from this man, as indifferent as I possibly could, but as the words got to me, I couldn't do anything to stop myself.In a way I could not even recognize the pers
CHAPTER 10IRENE'S POVFear. Panic. Anxiety.Name it.I felt all at once, in one giant rush down my nerves.His warm hands around my neck made me…Absolutely inexpressive of my emotions.I didn't know how to react to any of the emotion's budding up in me like a flame, blooming into something passionate.The good thing about all of this was that something deep down in a part of me was screaming in whispers that I shouldn't react to him this way, but the crazy side of it all was that I wanted to think with this side— I wasn't thinking with my brains at this moment but another organ entirely.I was thinking about an organ with a pulse.Maybe I shouldn't have it with him?Yet I knew this was going to happen anyways…“No one-” The rest of his words came in rasps.Rasps breathed again my neck, down the nape.I looked into his eyes, fully aware that he could easily be as dangerous as he looked.He watched me with that same darkened look as he leaned against me, pulling me closer by my ne
CHAPTER 11.JAMES POVLooking at her, all I could think about was how I was going to deal with the whole situation of having he there right where I wanted.She was the most crude of all I had met and in a way, I felt the need to refine her.The hatred in her eyes was glaring, I had seen the intensity in them even before she caught me earlier in the day with Kathy.Deep down, I felt a kind of remorse that she might be feeling the pain — probably jealousy from seeing me with another woman, I wouldn't ignore the fact that she actually slapped me.It had come to me when I least expected it, and roused not only the demon from my past, but every dark emotion I had in myself at the moment.Her eyes widened as she saw the strap in my hands, the grin upon my face anticipating what was to come.In a way, I felt the need to devour her, there was a need to take her in many ways and any way I wanted.I was going to make love to his woman if she consented or not.She tried wriggling free as I reach
CHAPTER 12IRENE'S POVIt was pretty fastThe manner by which the change in attitude came, One moment he was all cool and well collected and the next he was like a demon ripping every layer out of me shred by shred, regardless I felt the need to stay away from him as much as I could.I could as well tell Marcus everything but reverted to doing that as I wanted to deal with him totally on my own.It was kind of comical the way he switched emotions pretty fast.One moment he didn't want to have anything to do with me as I was forced to another bedroom on his request,seconds later he is all jealous and tries to take advantage of me.At moments like this, I wondered to myself if I was dealing with the same person as it turned out to be, he was certainly someone with a dual personality.I thought back to that blissful night that came before the contract was signed— it was certainly the first time I had seen him smile or ever acted all kindly— Was that all a facade?Was this a fate I had s
CHAPTER 13IRENE'S POVI FELT dirty after everything, the fact that I climaxed to the memories of a man I claimed to hate was itself very complicated…I dragged myself out of bed and walked to the bathroom brushing and flossing quickly before heading under the faucet for a warm bath.Deep down in my soul I wished the warm water cold wash away his touch from my nerves and soul.I ran the comb through my hair as I rang the phone downstairs telling the maid what I wanted for breakfast.My plan for the day was easy—I was going to avoid anything to do with James.Soon, I heard on my my door and opened to find there-It was Seven o’clock in the morning as I sat on the couch in my room with only an oversized one as I ate a bowl of cereal while scrolling through my phone.My phone buzzed in my hands as a message popped in. I choked on my food …Apparently James must have been intending to send it to someone else because it was deleted not even ten seconds after I had seen it.My eyes widened
CHAPTER 14JAMES POV.She in her ways and any more ways I couldn't quite figure out never ceased to amuse me.Irene—The thought of that name alone leaves me guessing.There was something about her I couldn't quite get out of my mind despite my general rule when it came to women and I couldn't quite figure it out, the truth was dealing with her was freakishly overwhelming.It was like she had a hold over me, almost as if I was right there in her book.To make matters more complicated for myself, I couldn't quite stay away.Perhaps, this whole thing was a bad idea after all I couldn't help thinking.It was two ways when it came down to my mindset about her:In the instance, we were two people forced together by fate having conflict within ourselves and in the other instance, we were not trying to stay away from each other.Yet, there were these unexplainable situations that kept bringing us together just like this.I was right here standing in her room, looking so tenderly into her eye
CHAPTER 15IRENE'S POVWhat does he want?It was merely a question shadowing what I had in my mind to say.If there was anything I would blame, anything I found fault with among all of this, it certainly had to be his attractiveness.His attractiveness was the same reason why I was here at this moment, why most of the words was left buried deep in me unsaid.His attractiveness was why I had to deal with his bullshit.From the look in his eyes, I saw that glint of-uncertainty, despite the fact that what I felt for him was something absurd, something between hate and as a sense of attraction that I found humoring, his eyes still held me captive.His gaze was captivating and for a second I couldn't just look away, yet at the same time it was complicating, more complicating than the whole entanglement we were in.He closed his eyes, a smile crawling up the creek of his face.It was a question I was certain,he wouldn't be able answer, one that-His eyes opened and the gaze of his amble ey
