《Craving For You》


 1. Birthday Surprise

    The day dawned crisp and clear with the sun peering through the window. The first ray of sunlight shone its beautiful golden rays and it lit up the room as the melodious bird songs chirped in, making Skr smile.


    She rubbed her bleary eyes as she walked to the window to say ¡®Hi¡¯ to the sun. A habit she had developed as a child.


    Skr liked the feel of the first morning Ray on her skin. So she takes her morning yoga right by the window side.


    ¡°Happy birthday Sky,¡± A beautiful woman with chestnut hair said as she walked in holding a chocte cake. She had a beautiful and genuine smile on her face as she approached Skr. She was apanied by a young girl who was also holding a gift box.


    ¡°Happy birthday Sky,¡± The young girl smiled as she handed Skr the gift box.


    ¡°Thank You, Jamie.¡± Skr got up from her yoga mat and hugged her sister.


    ¡°Happy birthday, dear.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Mom,¡± Skr ced a happy kiss on her mother¡¯s cheek. ¡°You never forget to bake my chocte cake, Huh?¡±


    ¡°How can I forget? Mrs. White smiled and pulled Skr¡¯s cheek. ¡°It¡¯s my Princess¡¯s favorite.¡±


    ¡°I love you, Mom.¡± Skr hugged her tighter and Jamie pouted.


    ¡°Why am I left out of the hug?¡±


    ¡°Come right in.¡± Skr pulled Jamie into the group hug.


    ¡°Where is dad?¡± Skr asked after they all parted from the hug. ¡°Why isn¡¯t he here to wish me?¡±


    ¡°Your father is¡­. Uh¡­..¡±


    ¡°Right here!¡± Mr. White hopped in wearing a very bright smile.


    ¡°Dad,¡± Skr rushed into his open arms.


    ¡°Happy birthday darling.¡±


    ¡°Thank You, Dad.¡±


    Mr. White twirled Skr around as he checked her out. ¡°Wow, is this my daughter?¡±


    ¡°Did I give birth to such a beautiful Fairy?¡±


    ¡°Dad,¡± Skr covered her face with her hands. ¡°Your ttery isn¡¯t going to work on me.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Mr. White furrowed his brow and pouted. ¡°Why not?


    ¡°First you have to give me my gift.¡±


    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s easy, because I got it right here.¡± Mr. White brought out a gift box and handed it to her.  ¡°Why would I forget to get my Princess a gift on her birthday? You only turn twenty Once.¡±


    ¡°Thank You Dad,¡± Skr immediately cut open the wrapper. She wanted to see what gift her father had brought her.


    ¡°Oh, My God!¡± Skr eximed as she saw the content of the box. She brought a key and raised it for better viewing. Just in case her eyes were ying some sort of trick on her.


    ¡°Dad!¡±


    ¡°Yes Baby, that is the key to your new S. U. V.¡±


    ¡°You got me a car?¡± Skr couldn¡¯t believe her eyes and ears.


    ¡°Yes darling, I did.¡±


    ¡°Thank You, Dad.¡± Skr beamed and she hugged him.


    ¡°Oh,¡± Mr. White chuckled as he caught her. ¡°Anything for you my dear.¡±


    ¡°Mom, look, dad got me a car.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s your birthday dear, you deserve a lot more. It¡¯s not every day you turn twenty.¡±


    ¡°Thank You, Dad, Thank You, Mom.¡± Skr positioned herself right in between her parents and she hugged them. ¡°You are the best parents in the whole world.¡±


    ¡°That is because we have the best daughters in the whole universe.¡± Mr. White motioned Jamie toe closer and she joined the family hug.


    ¡°I¡¯ll get the camera,¡± Skr opened her bedside drawer and brought out her camera. She took a photo of them.


    ¡°Thank You once again, dad,¡± Skr said as she raised the car keys. ¡°I¡¯ll go check it out now.¡±


    ¡°Calm down dear,¡± Mr. White held her back. ¡°Get dressed ande down, there is one more surprise for you.¡±


    ¡°Another surprise?¡± Skr beamed, wide-eyed. ¡°I¡¯ll be down in a minute.¡± She rushed straight into the bathroom leaving Jamie and her parents staring at her.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Mrs. White motioned as she held the door and everyone went out of the room.


    ¡°Do you think she¡¯ll agree?¡± Mrs. White asked as they arrived at the living room.


    ¡°I hope she does.¡± Mr. White let out a sigh of dejection and face-palmed. ¡°I hope she understands.¡±


    Mr. White brought his phone out of his pocket as it suddenly started ringing. He looked at the ID and he immediately sat up straight. He was instantly covered in a cold sweat as he saw who was calling.


    ¡°What happened, dear? Mrs. White went towards him, she sat beside him and he showed the phone to her.


    ¡°Answer it, let¡¯s hear what he has to say.¡±


    Mr. White answered the call but couldn¡¯t close his mouth as he listened to whatever was being said to him from the other side.


    ¡°Today? Mr. White finally spoke and he nced at his wife.


    ¡°We can¡¯t just¡­¡±


    The line got disconnected before he couldplete what he wanted to say.


    ¡°What did he say?


    ¡°Honey? Mrs. White shook her husband before he realized that he had spaced out.


    ¡°What happened? What did he say?


    ¡°He said, he wants the wedding to take ce today.¡±


    ¡°What?! Today?!


    ¡°He said he¡¯ll be waiting for us at the bureau.¡±


    ¡°But why would he suddenly prepone the wedding? Mrs. White asked as she brought out the wedding invite that has already been made for the wedding. ¡°We agreed to have a Christmas wedding, right?


    ¡°He said he has to travel in two days and he won¡¯t be back for one year.¡±


    ¡°My God, How do we tell her now?


    ¡°Tell me what?¡± Skr asked as she descended the stairs. She smiled happily as she took hurried steps down the stairs.


    ¡°Are you both discussing the surprise?¡± She exchanged nces with her parents but none of them spoke.


    ¡°You don¡¯t want to tell me, huh?N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll find out on my own.¡± Skr circled her parents, in search of clues or anything that would tell her what her parents were nning. Her eyes caught sight of the envelope in her mother¡¯s hand and she took it. ¡°Found it!¡±


    ¡°Sky_Dont!


    Mrs. White wanted to take back the envelope but Mr. White signaled her to leave it. They will have to tell her one way or the other.


    Skr stared wide-eyed at the content of the envelope. Her eyes were almost bulging out of its socket as she looked at her name boldly written on the card. She blinked over and over but nothing changed.


    ¡°This__ Is this the surprise you mentioned? She shook her head and forced a smile. ¡°This must be a prank.¡±


    She rushed towards Jamie and tickled her. ¡°This must be your idea, right? See how I deal with you.¡±


    ¡°No, Sis this isn¡¯t my idea at all.¡± Jamie raised her hand in the air.


    ¡°Then it¡¯s Mom¡¯s idea, because I know that dad wouldn¡¯t y such a prank with me, right dad?¡±


    ¡°Sky dear, it is not a Prank.¡± Mr. White looked up at her.


    ¡°Huh?


    ¡°You really are getting married.¡±

 2. Louis Anderson

    ¡°Sky dear, it is not a Prank.¡± Mr. White looked up at her.


    ¡°Huh?


    ¡°You are getting married.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    Skr¡¯s gaze traveled to everyone sitting in the living room. She noticed that they were all looking serious.


    ¡°You think you can all fool me, right?¡± Sheughed out loud. ¡°Impressive act, I must say.¡±


    She pped her hands and gave a courtesy bow. ¡°Thanks for trying, but it¡¯s not gonna work.¡±


    ¡°Skr,¡± Mr. White closed his eyes and sighed dejectedly.


    He would give anything in the world in exchange for having to put his daughter through this. But he has no choice but to resort to this because thepany was undergoing a crisis that might bring it to ruin.


    He sought help from the famous Billionaire, Louis Anderson, but little did he know that he was making a deal with the devil himself until Louis asked for something in exchange for his help and that was a marriage with his daughter.


    ¡°I can only be sure that you won¡¯t betray me if I hold something very precious to you.¡± Mr. White sighed again as he remembered Louis¡¯s words.


    They had agreed to have the marriage by the end of the year, which was three months away. But having Louis call to ask the wedding to be preponed came as a surprise and shock to him.


    ¡°Skr, do you trust me?¡±


    Mr. White shrugged every feeling of reluctance off his heart and decided to speak to her. After all, she is his daughter and she will understand his intentions.


    ¡°Of Course Dad, I trust youpletely.¡±


    ¡°Good, Now dad wants you to get married to someone of his choice. Can you do that for me?


    ¡°Do what, Dad?


    ¡°Darling, you¡¯re the only one that can save thepany from falling to ruin.¡± Mrs. White also joined the conversation.


    ¡°Mom, are you serious about asking me to get married?¡±


    ¡°Yes darling, we are serious.¡±


    ¡°Trust me Sky, I wouldn¡¯t do this if there was another way.¡±


    ¡°Dad,¡±


    Skr now has a river of tears streaming down her face.


    ¡°You can¡¯t be serious about this. I¡¯m still a too young, dad, I¡¯ve only just clocked twenty.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, darling.¡±


    Mr. White felt bad seeing Skr in tears. He brought her close to his bosom and hugged her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    ¡°Dad, I don¡¯t want to get married.¡±


    ¡°You have to get married someday.¡±


    ¡°But Christmas is too close. It¡¯s just three months away from now. How am I supposed to live with a stranger?


    Mr. White exchanged nces with his wife. Skr still hasn¡¯t agreed to getting married by Christmas, how would they tell her she was to get married right away.


    ¡°Skr, I trust in you.¡± Mr. White patted her hair and wiped her tears.


    ¡°I don¡¯t trust that I¡¯ll survive without my family,¡± She disagreed


    ¡°Don¡¯t say that, Sky. I know you¡¯ll survive.¡±


    ¡°How? I know nothing about marriage. I am still too young to get married.¡± Skr cried, she folded her hands together as she pleaded to her father.


    ¡°Please Dad, I don¡¯t want to get married.¡±


    ¡°Please Sky,¡± Mr. White cupped her cheek and made her look at him. ¡°Only you can save thepany now.¡±


    Skr became inert. Her eyes were closed but her mind was busy. Busy thinking of what to do. Busy thinking of a way out of this.


    She couldn¡¯t refuse her father¡¯s pleas and at the same time, her heart wasn¡¯t ready to ept this arrangement.


    Determined to elope before the time of the wedding, Skr opened her eyes.


    ¡°Okay Dad, I¡¯ll do it.¡±


    ¡°Huh? Mr. White was perplexed by her response.


    ¡°I agree to it,¡± Skr repeated.


    ¡°You agree to get married?


    ¡°Yes Dad, since I will be saving thepany and also be making you happy, then I will do it.


    ¡°Thank You, darling.¡±


    Mr. White kissed her head and smiled at his wife. ¡°I told you she¡¯ll agree. After all, she is my daughter.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m proud of you dear.¡± Mrs. White kissed her head and hugged her.


    Skr smiled too, seeing her parents smiling. However, what she hadn¡¯t anticipated was what her parents said afterward.


    ¡°Go get her ready, we¡¯ll leave in half an hour.


    ¡°Where are we going?


    ¡°To get you married.¡± Mrs. White replied earnestly. She had forgotten that they only told Skr that she was to get married, they never mentioned to her that she was getting married immediately.


    ¡°What?¡± Isn¡¯t the wedding taking ce during Christmas?


    ¡°Yes, it was supposed to take ce during Christmas but_¡±


    ¡°But?


    Skr¡¯s shock was written boldly on her face. How could her n have backfired immediately it was hatched?


    ¡°The wedding has been preponed, Sky.¡± Mr. White affirmed.


    ¡°Preponed?¡± Why?


    Skr looked sadly at the Invite she was holding and she shrugged. There is always a way out. She waited for them to tell her the new date the wedding was set, so she could adjust her n ordingly.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sky.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay Dad, just tell me when the wedding will be, so I can prepare my heart.¡±


    ¡°The wedding is set to take ce right away.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    Skr staggered and the Invite fell off her hand.


    ¡°The_ When did you say the wedding is?¡±


    ¡°It is now, Sky.¡± Mr. White repeated.


    ¡°Now?¡± As in right now?


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Sky, I also didn¡¯t want it this way.¡±


    ¡°Then why has ite to this?!¡±


    ¡°I just received a call from him and he said he wants to prepone the wedding to now.¡±


    ¡°Him? Who is he? And why should you agree to his demands just because he wants to help us? Skr screamed at the top of her voice.


    ¡°He wants to prepone the wedding because he is traveling out of the country and won¡¯t being back until after one year.


    ¡°Then, let him leave! We¡¯ll have the wedding when he returns.


    ¡°We don¡¯t have a choice in this, Sky. We have to do as he asks.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Skr turned to her parents and they could see that she was mad at them.


    ¡°Why do we have to agree to his every demand?


    ¡°We cannot go against his orders or¡­..¡±


    ¡°Is he God? Why would you say you cannot go against his orders?


    ¡°Who is this person that is so great that you cannot go against his orders?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Louis Anderson.¡±


    ¡°Who?¡±


    Skr poked her ear and she looked at her sister.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    ¡°Jamie, did you hear that? Please tell me what dad just said, I didn¡¯t hear him.


    ¡°Sky,¡± Mr. White called as he walked towards her.


    ¡°Dad, who did you say I¡¯m getting married to?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sky.¡±


    ¡°Just tell me dad, Who is he?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Louis Anderson.¡±


    ¡°Louis who? Skr suddenly felt dizzy and she copsed.


    ¡°Sky!!!!¡±

 3. Married To Him

    ¡°Congrattions Mr. and Mrs. White,¡± A Man in suit smiled as he collected the booklet from them as soon as they were done signing on it.


    Mr. White forced a smile as he passed him the booklet. ¡°Thank You.¡±


    Mr. White noticed that the man¡¯s eyes were now on Skr who was lying on the bed. He watched him intently as if he would be able to tell his intentions by looking at him.


    He expected the man to leave after the signing was done. But instead of leaving, the man took a seat beside Skr. Far enough so he wouldn¡¯t touch her, but close enough so he could watch her.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving with Louis today, Mr. Josh?¡±


    ¡°Of Course, I¡¯m leaving with him.¡±


    ¡°Oh,¡± Mr. White forced a nod, he wanted to know what he was still waiting for, but he knew that he shouldn¡¯t ask that, in order to avoid offending Louis. Everyone knew that offending Mr. Josh means indirectly offending Louis Anderson.


    Mr. Josh could see that he was curious about his presence so he decided to exin briefly.


    ¡°I¡¯m waiting for the madam.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°I am waiting for the madam to regain consciousness, so we leave together,¡± Mr. Josh repeated.


    ¡°What?¡± You leave with her today?


    ¡°Is she going with Mr. Louis to his destination?¡± Mr. and Mrs. White, both asked respectively.


    They had thought that Louis would forgo the wedding for that day since Skr passed out. They even showed him a video of her in that state. However, to their utmost surprise. Louis sent his assistant, Mr. Josh over.


    Mr. Josh came with a marriage document that was already signed by Louis and much to the chagrin of the family, the documents also had Skr¡¯s signature too. Only then did it ur to Mr. White that Skr was one of the signatories to hispany so he must have found her signature somewhere.


    ¡°Yes, boss wants her to go with him to Phdelphia.¡±


    ¡°Oh,¡± Mr. White muttered under his breath as he felt despondency wash over his whole being.


    Skr slowly opened her eyes. She looked around to see that she was in her room. She observed that an IV was set into her hand. She was about to heave a sigh In relief. Happy that she unknowingly managed to escape the suicide marriage.


    A marriage to Louis Anderson?


    Hell no!


    A visit to hell would be a lot better.


    Skr noticed a man sitting a little far from her bed and she smiled.


    ¡°Dad?¡±


    ¡°Yes Honey.¡± Mr. White replied from the other side of the bed.


    ¡°Oh, My dear, you¡¯re awake.¡± Mrs. White rushed to her. But paused her movement when she realized that Skr had actually woken up to her nightmare.


    ¡°Mom,¡± Skr¡¯s face showed a smile but then it slowly transformed into a frown as she noticed that there was someone else in the room. She sat up immediately to take a closer look at the person. She directed her gaze to her parents, as if asking who the guest was.


    ¡°Uh¡­.. Skr, that is Mr. Uh¡­ Josh.¡±


    ¡°Hello Madam, I¡¯m Josh, here at your service.¡±


    ¡°Madam?¡± Sky exchanged look of astonishment with both her parents.


    They were about to give her a proper exnation but Mr. Josh stood up and gave her a bow. ¡°I will be escorting you to the airport.¡±


    ¡°Airport?¡± Skr looked warily at Mr. Josh. She couldn¡¯t understand a thing about what he was saying and her parents were also not saying anything.


    ¡°Why would I go to the airport?¡± Skr sat up, she skillfully removed the IV from her hand and she dabbed her hand with a cotton ball.


    ¡°Because the master awaits you there.¡±


    ¡°The Master?¡± Who is that?


    Skr now has it all figured out. She has finally understood who Mr. Josh was.


    ¡°Oh, pardon my manners madam, I forgot to congratte you.¡±


    ¡°Congratte me for¡­.?¡±


    ¡°Your wedding, Madam.¡±


    ¡°My wedding?¡± Skr raised her head to her mother¡¯s direction. ¡°When did I get married?¡±


    ¡°Sky actually, it¡¯s¡­. Uh¡±


    ¡°Madam, the marriage agreement was signed when you passed out.¡±


    Skr eyed Mr. Josh like he was speaking a foreignnguage. She waited for her parents to say something but they didn¡¯t speak. There was silence in the room.


    The loud ringing sound of Mr. White¡¯s phone broke the silence. Skr shifted to the side so she could see her father clearly. She tried to listen to what he was saying on the phone but she couldn¡¯t figure out what was being said. She was only able to hear her father¡¯sst words. ¡°She is ready.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr¡¯s jaw dropped. ¡°Who¡­ who¡­ is ready?¡±


    Mr. White slowly brought down the phone from I¡¯ll his ear. He had a penitent expression on his face. He couldn¡¯t look at his daughter.


    ¡°Dad?¡± Skr called him again but Mr. White walked away guiltily with Mrs. White immediately trudging behind him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Madam. You will receive the rest of the treatment on the ne.¡±


    Mr. Josh already knew what Louis must have said to Mr. White on the phone. He didn¡¯t need to listen in to know what they talked about. He has worked with Louis for so long that he could almost read his thoughts.


    ¡°Don¡¯t call me madam!¡± Skr shouted as she jumped down the bed to follow her parents. ¡°And I am going no where with you!¡±


    ¡°Madam please don¡¯t make this hard on yourself.¡± Mr. Josh reasoned but Skr hurried out of the room following her parents. She needed an exnation.


    ¡°She doesn¡¯t want toe.¡± Mr. Josh spoke into the watch on his wrist. ¡°Should we give her some more time?


    ¡°Time? I don¡¯t have that and you know it.¡± The voice from the other side was calm butmanding.


    ¡°But she isn¡¯t ready and¡­.


    ¡°Drag her here, now!¡±


    ¡°Yes Sir.¡±


    Mr. Josh knew not to be told twice. He knew Louis too well to know that when he speaks more than two words then he is miffed.


    He went back to the living room and he found Skr speaking to her parents.


    ¡°Dad what is happening?¡±


    ¡°You have to leave now dear,¡± Mrs. White replied instead.


    ¡°No!¡± Skr cried shaking her head frantically. I don¡¯t want to go. Please don¡¯t send me to him.¡±


    ¡°Come on Sky, try to understand that there is nothing we can do. Especially now that you¡¯re married.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to be married. Please Dad, don¡¯t send me away.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sky,¡± Mr. White looked down, he couldn¡¯t bear to see his daughter cry so much especially when he is the reason behind her tears.


    ¡°Dad please¡­..


    ¡°Let¡¯s go Madam.¡± Mr. Josh took her hand and led her out.


    ¡°No! Please let go of me!¡± Skr struggled to free herself from Mr. Josh¡¯s grip but he was too strong.


    ¡°Dad Please!


    ¡°Dad!


    Skr noticed that her father only had his head bowed in regret. He wasn¡¯t saying anything and neither was her mother.


    ¡°Mom, Please speak to Dad, I don¡¯t want to get married.¡±N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Mr. Josh ignored Skr¡¯s struggle and he kept pulling her until they arrived outside and he helped her in the car.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get you home, ma¡¯am.¡±

 4. Let鈥檚 Get You Home

    ¡°Let¡¯s get you home.¡± Mr. Josh helped Skr in then circled the car and hopped in. The driver ignited the car and drove off leaving the White Household.


    Skr fixed her gaze on the house where she had spent her life, with tears cascading down her cheek. She watched as the car sped off, leaving the house behind.


    Skr sat with her knees folded and she hugged her legs as she silently sobbed. She couldn¡¯t believe that it was all over. The happy days in her life have abruptlye to an end.


    ¡°Why?¡± Skr cried inwardly. They were supposed to be her parents, why did they make her the sacrificialmb?


    That day was her birthday, it should have been a happy day for her, how did it turn out this way?


    Skr trembled as she remembered the name of her supposed husband. The thought of him alone was enough to send shivers down her spine. How is she expected to spend the rest of her life with a man that she feared so much?


    The car arrived at the airport in no time and Skr stepped out on her own without being told. She knew that throwing tantrums would only get her into more trouble. She wiped her tears and determination shed in her eyes.


    ¡°I will do everything I can to make sure that he rejects me as his wife. Let¡¯s see if he doesn¡¯t send me back to my parents.¡±


    Skr closed her eyes and took deep breaths as she encouraged herself.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Madam.¡± Mr. Josh approached her and led her to the lounge where Louis was.


    ¡°Boss,¡± Mr. Josh bowed before Louis, but instead of looking at the one greeting him, Louis¡¯s gaze darted towards Skr and he checked her out from her feet up, to her head.


    ¡°Why does she have swollen eyes?¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s been crying, Boss.¡±


    ¡°Oh,¡± Louis muttered and looked at his wrist. He took his phone and dialed a number.


    ¡°Come to the airport with your tools.¡± Louis put down his phone as soon as he was done with the call. He turned away, Ignoring Skr¡¯s presence. He didn¡¯t offer her a seat and she also chose not to sit.


    He was discussing some business with Mr. Josh, probably the same business they were going to Phdelphia for.


    Mr. Josh would often look back at Skr but he couldn¡¯t dare offer her a seat since his boss didn¡¯t permit him to. So, she remained standing for over an hour.


    ¡°Boss,¡± A young beautifuldy greeted yfully with a light bow. She was dragging a suitcase and Mr. Josh immediately helped her with it.


    ¡°Hey, Louis, What am I supposed to do with this?¡± Thedy asked, pointing at the suitcase.


    ¡°Her,¡± Louis pointed backward without looking back.


    ¡°Oh,¡± Thedy stood up and walked towards Skr, circling her as if she was checking her out. She went back to Louis and folded her arms. ¡°Where did you get this one?¡±


    ¡°Just do as you¡¯re told.¡± Louis didn¡¯t look up at thedy as he spoke. He was engrossed in whatever he was reading.


    ¡°But Louis, this one¡­..¡±


    ¡°Evelyne!¡±


    ¡°Okay¡­.. Okay. You never tell me anything anyway.¡± Thedy pouted and she went inside the private booth, bought by Louis. Mr. Josh followed her, dragging the suitcase along.


    Thedy was none other than the world famous make-up artist, Evelyne Anders. She owns one of the country¡¯s best modeling agencies.


    ¡°How did Louis invite her here without prior booking? She has evene here in person, Without any of her assistants!


    Skr looked on in awe. She couldn¡¯t believe that her first few minutes with Louis would bring her to meet such an important figure.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    ¡°Come Madam,¡± Mr. Josh motioned to Skr and she followed him to the booth without asking questions.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave,¡±  Mr. Josh excused himself as soon as they arrived at the booth. He dropped the suitcase.


    ¡°Sit down,¡± Thedy ordered and Skr readily obeyed. Her legs were hurting from standing too much already.


    ¡°I¡¯m Evelyne, what¡¯s your name?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m Skr.¡±


    ¡°Skr, what are you to my brother?¡± Evelyn began.


    ¡°Brother?¡± Skr raised her head to take another look at Evelyne. She couldn¡¯t believe that someone like her could be born of the same blood as a monster like Louis.


    ¡°Are you one of his flings?¡±  Evelyn repeated.


    ¡°Flings? Skr repeated in rm. How she so wish this was a fling and after tonight she¡¯d be free from the monster in human clothing, Louis Anderson. But hers was worse than a fling because she is tied to a monster for the rest of her life.


    ¡°Are you his girlfriend?


    Evelyne was tired of Louis¡¯s behavior, in fact, the whole family was. After his breakup with his Ex-girlfriend, Madison Ray. He has refused to have another woman in his life and the ones around him are just to satisfy his sexual needs.


    ¡°I¡¯m his wife.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re his what?¡± Evelyne¡¯s eyes widened and she jumped towards Skr. ¡°Are you serious? Did my brother really marry you? When did this happen?


    ¡°How I wish he didn¡¯t,¡± Skr stated truthfully, her eyes already clouded with tears. Evelyne hugged and hushed her.


    ¡°Oh dear, don¡¯t cry. My brother isn¡¯t a bad person.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t he?¡± Skr sniffled and wiped her tears. ¡°Who doesn¡¯t know who Louis Anderson is?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t mind the news, they aren¡¯t always real. Most of the news about my brother are exaggerated, trust me.¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡± Skr shook her head sadly. ¡°Well, what do I expect you to say? After all, he is your brother.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Sky, we¡¯ll be best of friends and I¡¯ll show you how good my brother is,¡± Evelyne stated happily. She still couldn¡¯t believe that her brother was finally married.


    ¡°I can¡¯t wait to tell Mom and Dad about this.¡±


    Evelyne stepped away from Skr to open the box. ¡°So you¡¯re going with him to Phdelphia?¡±


    ¡°I think so.¡±


    ¡°I still can¡¯t believe this,¡± Evelyne muttered as she got to work on applying the makeup to Skr¡¯s face.


    She stood up and turned Skr around so she could see herself in the mirror. She also gave her a dress to change into. Skr took the dress and immediately put it on.


    ¡°Wow Sky, I see it now.¡± Evelyne gasped as she took photos of Skr.


    ¡°See what?¡±


    ¡°The reason why my brother chose you.¡±

 5. Duties Of A Wife

    ¡°The reason why my brother chose you.¡±


    ¡°And what will that reason be?¡±


    ¡°I think¡­..¡±


    ¡°Miss Evelyne, we have to go now.¡± Mr. Josh called from outside. giving a light knock on the door.


    ¡°I¡¯ll see you when you get back, Sky.¡± Evelyne arranged her stuff with the help of Skr and they both went out.


    Louis was about to ask Evelyne where Skr was when she stepped out. Louis gaped at her, his eyes gawking at her big and round boobs.


    ¡°Look who¡¯s gawking.¡± Evelyne stood beside Louis and she closed his mouth with her hand. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t let flies get in. What will yourrades say?


    ¡°Who is gawking?¡± Louis hissed and walked away. ¡°You know I have seen much more beautiful girls with bigger and ample bosoms.¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡± Evelyne folded her arms across her chest. ¡°But those aren¡¯t your wife¡¯s right?


    Louis paused in his tracks and turned to Skr. ¡°Such a tattletale,¡± He hissed.


    ¡°Were you hoping to keep it a secret from us?¡±


    ¡°Just go home, Eve.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I will go home to give them the good news.¡±


    ¡°You won¡¯t!¡± Louis harrumphed.


    ¡°Oh, dear brother, I will.¡± Evelyne dragged her suitcase towards Skr and she pecked her.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be here when you return.¡±


    ¡°Thank You,¡± Skr gave her first genuine smile since she left her parent¡¯s house.


    ¡°Anytime, sister-inw.¡±


    ¡°This one¡¯s a keeper Louis, make sure you don¡¯t lose her,¡± Evelyne whispered to Louis then She waved at them as she went out of the airport.


    Skr boarded the private ne after Louis and she went to thest seat on the ne. Far away from Louis.


    Louis chuckled as he noticed this. He shook his head and continued with his work.


    More tears were stinging Skr¡¯s eyes and the tear dam was threatening to break but she was afraid of ruining her Make up. Who knows what Louis would do to her if she did. So She forced back her tears.


    She could only look out the window since has nothing else to do. Her phone was left back in the White Household.


    ¡°What would you like to eat, Ma¡¯am?¡± A beautiful airline attendant asked, snapping Skr out of her thoughts. She was holding a trolley filled with snacks and foods of different types but Skr had no appetite Even though she was hungry.


    ¡°I¡¯ll have fries.¡±


    ¡°Alright Ma¡¯am,¡± Thedy served Skr some fries and Yoghurt.


    ¡°Thank You.¡±


    ¡°My pleasure, Ma¡¯am.¡±


    Thedy bowed and pushed the trolley towards Louis. He was served some food too but he didn¡¯t touch the food at all, instead, he only took the wine served with the food.


    The journey went on in perfect silence and God knows for how long Skr had fallen asleep until she heard Mr. Josh¡¯s voice beside her as he woke her up. ¡°Madam, it¡¯s time to alight.¡±


    ¡°Oh, Thank You.¡± She let out a yawn as she stood up. She was about to step out of the ne when she noticed someone¡¯s hand before her. She raised her head to see who it was and she found out that it was none other than Louis.


    ¡°Huh? She asked as she immediately jolted backward.


    ¡°Your hand,¡± Louis pointed his chin at her hand but she still didn¡¯t understand. ¡°Give it!¡±


    Skr trembled as she ced her hand into his open hand and he helped her step out of the ne.


    ¡°Over here you are my wife and you must act like one!¡± Louis whispered as they walked on the red carpet that wasid to wee them.


    ¡°You will fulfill all of your duties as a wife, without being told.¡±


    ¡°What If I don¡¯t know what my duties are as a wife, then?¡±


    ¡°Then you learn it! I will get you a tutor if I must.¡±


    ¡°Wee, Sir Louis.¡± Some men gathered by the car bowed in greeting but Louis ignored them.


    They offered him some flowers but he shot them a look of scrutiny and the men slowly cringed backward.


    The guards stepped forward to open the door, Louis stylishly shoved Skr inside and he also went in, unknowingly stepping on her foot.


    ¡°Ouch!¡± Skr cried out but Louis shot her a re. She rubbed her foot and swallowed her pain as she moved to the far end of the car. She looked out the window, pursing her lips very hard so she wouldn¡¯t cry.


    The car suddenly came to a halt and the door opened almost immediately. Louis stepped out and offered his hand again. Skr took it and they both walked towards the house.


    ¡°Wee home, Boss.¡±


    Louis went inside the house, holding Skr. He let go of her hand as soon as they were in, shoving her aside as he went straight to the bar to pour himself a drink. Skr stood on one side of the house silently writhing in pain.


    She rested her back on the wall as she could barely stand. Her leg was now swollen and it hurt badly.


    ¡°Sit!¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr looked behind her to see if there was someone else there.


    ¡°Are you deaf? Louis barked, making Skr tremble. ¡°I said, sit!¡±


    She took a seat and she sat with her head looking downward. She couldn¡¯t dare to look in his eyes.


    ¡°Look at me.¡±


    She slowly raised her head to look at him and she was met by his Amber orbs. How can someone with such innocent eyes be so evil? Skr shook her head as she finally seemed to have understood the hidden meaning behind the saying, ¡®Don¡¯t judge a book by its cover.¡¯


    ¡°Now listen,¡± Louis raised her chin properly so she was looking straight into his eyes.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    ¡°We leave in an hour for aunch party. I want you to be on your best behavior. Don¡¯t embarrass me.¡±


    Skr couldn¡¯t find her voice so she replied with a nod.


    ¡°Speak!¡±


    She flinched at his harsh voice and she opened her mouth but still, no sound came out.


    ¡°When I talk to you, I want a swift response!¡±


    ¡°I¡­ I¡­ Won¡¯t embarrass you.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± He patted her ass. ¡°Now, go get some rest.¡±

 6. Just A Friend

    ¡°They will be your Maids.¡± Louis introduced twodies to Skr and she simply nodded. The pain in her foot was bing overwhelming.


    ¡°Your tutor on wifely duties will be here tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Skr nodded again.


    ¡°Show her to her room,¡± Louis ordered the maids.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Ma¡¯am.¡±


    Skr followed the maids, taking gentle steps as she tried to keep the pain to herself at the same time maintaining adylike posture.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°This is your room, Ma¡¯am.¡± The maids opened the door to a very huge room.


    Skr stared at the room with her mouth open.  The room was beautiful andrge with a big queen size bed on the side of the room. The bed was covered with white and ck striped designer sheets. The windows were covered in Korean blinds. The floor of the room was made with very beautiful marbles.


    ¡°Come in, Ma¡¯am.¡±


    She stepped in and immediately took a seat. She took her shoes off and slowly rubbed her foot. The maids noticed her swollen leg and squatted down to help her massage it.


    ¡°I¡¯ll get the first aid box.¡±


    The maid went out and brought back the box, she removed an ointment and applied it on Skr¡¯s foot.


    ¡°Thank you, uh¡­.?¡±


    The maid knew she was asking for her name. She smiled as she bowed slightly. ¡°My name is Linda, Ma¡¯am.¡±


    ¡°And My name is Alice.¡± The other maid also introduced herself.


    ¡°Thank You, Linda,¡± Skr looked towards the other maid and also thanked her. ¡°Thank you, Alice.¡±


    ¡°We must serve you, Ma¡¯am.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m happy to hear that. At least I will have someone to talk to.¡±


    ¡°Yes Ma¡¯am, feel free to tell us whatever you want. We will be happy to oblige.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    ¡°Get some rest, Ma¡¯am, we¡¯ll go arrange your things.¡±


    Skrid down on the bed obediently and she watched the maids arrange some things in her room. The closet was stuffed with dresses of different types and designs. She was amazed at how efficient Louis¡¯s workers were.


    How could they have known her size in just a nce?


    Though she found this amazing, Skr didn¡¯t speak, instead, shey curled up as she silently reflected on her life.


    Why did she have to end up with a demon like Louis?


    Lost in thoughts on her life, Skr didn¡¯t know when she had slept off until she heard Alice call out to her.


    ¡°Madam, the master has asked for you.¡±


    ¡°Oh,¡± She immediately sat up. ¡°Is it time for the Party?¡±


    ¡°Yes Ma¡¯am, I think it is.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Skr got up, she went to the closet to pick up another dress. She retouched her makeup, before stepping out of the closet.


    ¡°Wow Ma¡¯am, you look beautiful.¡±


    ¡°Thank You,¡± She smiled as she picked up her purse. She went out of the room, with her maids on either side.


    ¡°Are you ready?¡± Louis took her hand as usual. ¡°Remember to behave.¡±


    ¡°I will.¡± She repeated quickly.


    ¡°Good,¡± Louis helped her inside the car as the guards opened the door for them.


    Skr shifted to the end as soon as she entered the car. She crossed her legs and immediately looked out the window. He looked at her and smirked, seeing her sit so far away. He took the time to check her out. Satisfied with her look, he decided to tell her the do¡¯s and don¡¯t¡¯s of the party.


    ¡°Listen,¡± Louis cleared his throat to get her attention.


    ¡°Yes?¡± Skr turned with her gaze looking everywhere but not at him.


    ¡°When we arrive at the party, do not speak unless spoken to.¡±


    ¡°Noted,¡± Skr immediately replied before he would yell or try to hit her again.


    ¡°Good,¡± Louis nodded again. ¡°If you don¡¯t know how to answer a question just remain quiet instead of giving any stupidment.¡±


    ¡°Noted.¡±


    ¡°Lastly, you must not speak to anyone at the party except me.¡±


    ¡°Noted.¡±


    Louis raised his brow in amazement. ¡°Why are you repeating the same word, like a robot?


    ¡°I was taking note of all you were saying.¡±


    ¡°You better do, because if you embarrass me out there, I will¡­..


    ¡°Sir, we¡¯ve reached,¡± The driver announced, cutting into Louis¡¯s words.


    The guards got out of their car and they opened the door for Louis. He stepped out of the car, one leg after the other. He waited for Sky as another guard opened the door for her.


    ¡°Come darling,¡± Louis deposited his hand on her waist as they went inside the hall.


    Skr couldn¡¯t believe her ears. She stole side nces at him to be sure that he was referring to her.


    Reporters rushed towards them taking photos of the couple.  Skr wasn¡¯t used to such exposure. She cringed as the reporters rushed to them. She held tightly unto Louis¡¯s hand. Like she was afraid of getting swallowed by the reporters.


    ¡°Stay Calm,¡± He whispered. Surprising Sky for the second time that day. She replied with a nod, as she obediently followed him into the Venue.


    ¡°Hey Louis,¡± A feminine voice called as soon as they entered the Hall.


    ¡°It¡¯s Miss Madison,¡± Mr. Josh whispered before Louis could turn around to see who it was. His grip around Sky¡¯s waist tightened.


    ¡°You¡¯re hurting me,¡± Skr tried to step away from him but he didn¡¯t let her. His hand was holding so tightly to her that she felt like her waist bone might break.


    ¡°Louis¡­ You¡¯re hurt¡­.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s you Louis,¡± Ady dressed in a red off-shoulder eximed as she walked towards them. The dress she had on perfectly illustrated her curves. Her long brown hair was neatly styled into a bun. Every feature on her face was perfectly carved to make her beautiful. She rushed into Louis¡¯s arms and hugged him.


    Louis didn¡¯t hug her back nor did he push her away. Instead, he tightened his hold on Sky¡¯s hand. She pursed her lips to stop herself from screaming.


    ¡°My God, Louis you look so good!¡± Thedy eximed. She checked him out and couldn¡¯t stop gawking. Louis was indeed looking as hot as usual, with his long hair styled to fall right above his shoulder.


    ¡°Hi Maddy,¡± Louis greeted her inly and walked away still holding Skr.


    ¡°How have you been?¡± She followed behind them again and she stood on the other side.


    ¡°I¡¯m doing good as you can see.¡±


    ¡°Well, you do look good,¡± Madison agreed as she finally noticed that there was ady beside Louis. She frowned and looked her down.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t introduce me to yourpanion.¡±


    Louis paused as if he was thinking about what to say. So Madison took the lead.


    ¡°Hi, I¡¯m Madison Ray, Louis¡¯s girlfriend.¡± She put her hand forward with a smile. ¡°And you are¡­ ?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m Skr White, Louis¡¯s w¡­¡±


    Before Sky could finish introducing herself. Louis butted in.


    ¡°¡­ Friend.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr was stunned by his choice of words and Louis also noticed the suspicious look on Maddy¡¯s face so he repeated,


    ¡°She is just a friend.¡±

 7. Raymond Jones

    ¡°Just a friend?¡± Maddy asked stunned to hear Louis¡¯s introduction for the woman with him.


    ¡°She is just a friend,¡± He repeated inly.


    ¡°You never keep friends Louis, not even Male ones. Maddy shot Louis a look of suspicion. ¡°Why have you suddenly started keeping friends? That too, female ones?


    ¡°Change is constant, Maddy.¡±Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°That is so true.¡± She giggled as she walked to Louis¡¯s side. Skr was tossed aside and she slowly made her way to a corner where she sat hidden. She isn¡¯t known to anyone at the party so she is not going to be missed by anyone.


    She waved at the waiter and she picked up a ss of cold drink.


    ¡°Thank You,¡± She muttered as she immediately took a sip from the drink. She took off her shoes and crossed her legs as she slowly massaged the foot. It was getting swollen again.


    She watched Louis move around the hall with people crowding him. Some wanted to curry business favor from him and some just wanted to be seen with him and some were just there to interview him.


    He didn¡¯t even notice Skr¡¯s disappearance. His so-called girlfriend Madison Ray was also beside him. She hadn¡¯t left his side since they arrived inside the hall.


    ¡°Is she his ex-girlfriend?¡± Skr tried to remember the name mentioned by Evelyne the other day.


    ¡°Yes, she is the same one.¡± Skr nodded as she remembered clearly everything Evelyne had said about Louis¡¯s ex. ¡°Why did she introduce herself as his girlfriend?


    Skr again stared at Louis and the woman beside him. ¡°Why is Louis not saying anything? Are they probably seeing each other in secret?


    Why did he marry me If he still had something to do with her?


    Numerous questions were bothering her mind. She couldn¡¯t understand why she had to be a victim of such a tragedy.


    ¡°Mr. Louis, are you back together with Miss Madison?¡± One of the businessmen around Louis asked him.


    Skr sat straight with her concentration set on Louis; She wanted to hear his response to the question.


    ¡°You should ask her that,¡± Louis replied. His lustful gazended on Madison¡¯s cleavage.


    ¡°I only took a break from the Country. I didn¡¯t break up with him.¡± Madison smiled, locking her gaze with Louis.


    ¡°Really?¡± Skr scoffed. ¡°She took a break from the Country?


    ¡°So you¡¯re now back together?


    ¡°That¡¯s our private affair.¡± Madison hooked her arm with Louis¡¯s. ¡°We¡¯ll let you know when the time is right.¡±


    ¡°There is no right time f¡­..¡± Louis tried to speak against Madison¡¯s misleading response but She knew him too well and was aware of his weaknesses. She stood in front of him and she rubbed her big ass against his lower region.


    He looked down at her pausing amidst his words. Skr scoffed unbelievably at what she saw. Not everyone could have seen that little gesture but, she did.


    ¡°Eww,¡± She hissed and turned away.


    ¡°You also noticed that?¡± A voice came from beside her. Skr turned and she was stunned by who she saw.


    ¡°You? What are you doing here?¡±


    ¡°I should ask you that.¡± The man countered. ¡°You usually don¡¯t attend business parties such as this, so I was surprised to see you.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I usually don¡¯t, but now I am.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a good transformation.¡± The man Smiled, checking her out. ¡°You are looking so beautiful, Sky.¡±


    ¡°Thank You, Ray.¡± She replied with a smile. She pointed at his hair and let out a lowugh. ¡°You look good too with the modification done to your red hair.¡±


    ¡°Stop it Sky, no teasing. We¡¯re seeing each other after so long and you¡¯re teasing me?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t help it,¡± Skr shrugged.


    ¡°What are you doing here, Sky?¡±


    ¡°You tell me, what are you doing here in Phdelphia?¡± Skr crossed her leg and she sat facing sideways.


    Beside her was a handsome, Tall, and Fair-skinned man. He was wearing a blue custom-made tuxedo with a red bow tie. His hair was styled as a half fringe and the hair was red with a slight tinge of gold.


    He took a seat beside her and also ordered a drink for them both. ¡°Well, I live here now.¡±


    ¡°You live in Phdelphia?¡± Skr repeated in rm


    ¡°Yes. I moved here after I took over the reins of thepany¡¯s branch here.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s great, Ray.¡±


    ¡°I know right,¡± He stood up and opened his arms before her. ¡°Standing before you right now is Raymond Jones. The second most sessful businessman here in Phdelphia.¡±


    ¡°Wow! Are you serious?¡± Skr covered her mouth with her hands. ¡°That¡¯s so cool!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, right?¡± Raymond sat down beside Skr again.


    ¡°So Sky, mind telling me what you¡¯re doing here?¡±


    ¡°Nothing serious, I just woke up one morning and I found myself here in Phdelphia.¡±


    ¡°You haven¡¯t stopped your naughty jokes.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not joking.¡± Skr smiled and she turned to look at Louis. She immediately returned her gaze to Raymond but he already noticed where she was looking.


    ¡°You saw what she did to him too right?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I did.¡±


    ¡°That is Louis Anderson and the woman beside him is Madison Ray, A model, businesswoman, and also the daughter of the former governor of the US.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Yes. Raymond nodded. ¡°She was Louis¡¯s girlfriend untilst year when she moved to Australia.¡±


    ¡°Oh,¡± Skr mouthed as she nodded knowingly.


    ¡°She only needed a break from the Country. But we all thought they had broken up.¡±


    ¡°So they are together?¡± Skr asked for rification. She probably wanted to hear it from someone else.


    ¡°Of Course, Madison just confirmed that, and that little y you saw earlier is a clear indication of how deep their rtionship is.¡±


    ¡°Deep indeed,¡± Skr murmured.


    ¡°Are you here with your boyfriend?¡±


    ¡°No, I¡¯m here with my husband.¡±


    Raymond looked at her finger and found no ring on her, he chuckled and tapped his forehead.


    ¡°I almost fell for your expensive jokes again.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a joke.¡± Skr frowned as she rubbed her foot. The pain was increasing by the moment.


    ¡°I won¡¯t fall for it.¡± Raymond pulled her cheek. He noticed that she was rubbing her foot and he bent forward and held the leg.


    ¡°It¡¯s swollen, how did you get injured?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Skr tried to stop him from holding her foot but Raymond stood up and went to get some ice and he helped her massage the swollen foot.


    ¡°How do you feel now?¡± Raymond smiled as he massaged the foot.


    ¡°A lot better, Thank you, Ray.¡± Skr tried to collect the Ice bag from him but he refused to let go.


    Louis looked behind him and couldn¡¯t find Skr anymore. He signaled Mr. Josh toe over.


    ¡°Where is Sky?


    ¡°The madam is here¡­.¡± Mr. Josh looked around but couldn¡¯t find her.  Louis stood up and his eagle eyes scanned the hall. He saw her sitting in a corner with a man massaging her foot. She was smiling as they chatted away like what they were doing was the most natural thing to do.


    Mr. Josh noticed the change in Louis¡¯s expression and he followed his gaze. His eyes widened as he saw Skr and the strange man.


    ¡°Oh No,¡± He muttered under his breath. He rushed forward in their direction. ¡°I¡¯ll go get her here.¡±


    ¡°No!¡± Louis stopped him, his eyes were fixed on Skr and the man and he saw his face.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that Raymond Jones?¡±


    ¡°Yes Sir, it¡¯s him.¡±


    Louis sprang upward and walked towards them. Skr tried to stand up as soon as she noticed Louis bit she staggered and Raymond had to hold her.


    ¡°Easy there, Sky,¡± He steadied and noticed that Louis was standing before them.


    He put forth his hand ready to shake Louis¡¯s hand but Louis ignored him. His angry gaze on Skr.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Skr tried to walk but her leg was aching and she could barely move. Louis took her hands and dragged her out of there.


    ¡°Uh, Excuse me!¡± Raymond called after them as he picked up Skr¡¯s purse. He saw her phone in it and he quickly dialed his number. He stored her contact and he immediately rushed after them.


    ¡°Wait Sky!¡±


    Skr turned and she saw Raymonding with her purse.


    ¡°Louis, My purse.¡±


    ¡°You forgot your purse,¡± Raymond passed the purse to Skr but instead of her, Mr. Josh took it from him.


    ¡°Thank You so much, Mr. Jones.¡±


    ¡°Skr is you¡­.¡±


    Before he could say whatever he wanted to say. Louis shoved Skr inside the car and the car drove off, throwing dust in his face.


    ¡°What is Skr doing with a jerk like Louis Anderson?¡±

 8. Catching Up

    ¡°Who was that?¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr gulped hard.


    ¡°Want me to repeat?¡± Louis hissed.


    ¡°He ¡­ He¡­.¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t talk?¡±


    ¡°I ¡­. Can ¡­ talk,¡±


    ¡°Then? Cat got your tongue?¡± Louis hissed.


    He was emitting so much rage that could melt an entire continent.


    ¡°He ¡­ is Ray¡­ ¡± She stuttered her response.


    ¡°Ray?¡±


    ¡°I mean¡­ Raymond¡­ A friend.¡±


    ¡°A friend?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Skr nodded again.


    ¡°So, what business do you have with him?¡±


    ¡°None!¡± Skr eximed as he strode closer to her.


    ¡°Then what were you discussing at the party?¡±


    ¡°We were catching up,¡± She stuttered.


    ¡°Catching up? He smirked evilly. ¡°What did I tell you?


    ¡°Huh?


    ¡°You disobeyed me,¡± Louis pursed his lips and nodded.


    His eyes were fiery and his voice was cold. He fit the description of fire and ice perfectly at the moment.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know he would¡­..


    Louis hopped out of the car before the driver could bring the car to a stop. He held Skr¡¯s hand pulling her out with him as he got out. He wasn¡¯t ready to listen to whatever she had to say.


    Skr staggered from the force but Louis gave no damn about her. He ced her hand in his and pulled her violently as he marched into the house.


    Skr hissed in pain as her leg hurt so much and Louis was making her walk so fast that her entire body weight was resting on the default foot.


    ¡°Louis my leg¡­..¡±


    ¡°Keep quiet,¡± He spoke softly that one would mistake him for an angel.


    ¡°My foot hurts please let me walk on my own,¡± she pleaded as he pulled her towards the stairs.


    ¡°Keep quiet,¡± His voice sounded soft and sweet but the venom was evident in it.


    ¡°I can¡¯t go up ¡­..¡±


    Her words got stuck in her throat and were reced by pain as Louis dragged her up the stairs.


    The maids stood with their heads bowed as he sauntered passed them. They knew he was out for blood and at this moment they should all be on their best behavior otherwise they would incur his wrath.


    ¡°Louis please¡­..¡±


    ¡°I said, Keep quiet!¡± Louis yelled as he shoved her into the room. He closed the door with a loud bang.


    Sending jolts of fear to the entire building as it shook from the force with which the door was closed.


    Mr. Josh could only say a silent prayer in Skr¡¯s name. There was nothing he could do even though he feels very sorry for her.


    ¡°Get up!¡± Louis shouted at Skr who had fallen after he shoved her in.


    She could barely stand on her feet and he shoved her with so much force.


    ¡°I can¡¯t, my leg hurts,¡± Skr tried to exin.


    ¡°You dare to defy me?¡± Louis leaned forward and grabbed hold of her neck.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    ¡°Lou¡­ is¡­¡± Skr tapped his hand as he choked her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know who I am?¡± He yelled. ¡°I am Louis Anderson and no one refuses me!¡±


    Skr struggled but Louis¡¯s hold on her neck was strong. She wanted to talk but her vocal cord was also in Louis¡¯s control as he was holding tightly to her oesophagus.


    Skr¡¯s face was turning pale fromck of air so Louis let go of her. He flung her hard against the floor and she winced as her head hit the wall.


    She coughed violently as she gasped for breath. She tapped her chest as she tried to catch her breath. Hot tears streamed down her cheek.


    ¡°I own you and you must obey my every order, is that clear?!¡±


    ¡°Hm,¡± Skr nodded frantically.


    ¡°Is that clear?!¡± He shouted again.


    ¡°Ye¡­ Yes Sir,¡± She nodded.


    ¡°Now, get out of my sight!¡±


    Skr crawled with crity. She moved as fast as she could towards the balcony. She couldn¡¯t wait to hide away from the monster, Louis.


    She sat with her knees folded and she hugged herself to gain somepanionship as that was what she needed at the moment; Someone to hug and console her.


    Her head was starting to bleed from the impact of the fall earlier. She has only spent a few hours there and her life is difficult. What happens when she stays longer?


    Louis poured himself a drink and emptied the ss in his throat before marching to the bathroom.


    He returned after changing out of his clothes. He was now wearing a short and a sleeveless shirt. He called Mr. Josh over to discuss business. After all, he was in Phdelphia for a reason.


    Mr. Josh nced around the room as soon as he arrived there. He was afraid of seeing what the room must have been reduced to. However, to his surprise, the room looked perfect with no abnormality. Except for the blood stain on the wall.


    He felt sorry for Skr and wished he could see her as he couldn¡¯t imagine the state she¡¯d be in at the moment. He knew the blood was hers, hence, he could only pray that it wasn¡¯t a serious injury.


    ¡°Madam is asleep? Mr. Josh finally found the courage to ask as soon as they finished discussing business.


    ¡°Out there,¡± He pointed at the balcony nonchntly.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go say hi,¡± Mr. Josh excused himself to go see her and his heart melted seeing her state.


    She wasying on the cold floor, curled up in a fetal position. Her hands were hidden underneath her head. She was shivering from the cold weather. Her teeth were chattering loudly.


    ¡°Madam,¡± He squatted beside her as he called her.


    Skr jumped. Her eyes shot open and she raised her head to see who it was. She cringed as she saw that it was Mr. Josh.


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t sleep here,¡± Mr. Josh stood up and deposited his hands behind his back.


    ¡°Yes, I was preparing to go in,¡± She forced a smile.


    Her eyes were swollen from crying and the dried tears made it clear that she had been crying.


    Even though he knew what must have happened to her. He wouldn¡¯t dare talk about it.


    Skr held the railing as she tried to get up. He noticed her swollen foot and the red liquid dripping from her head.


    Skr limped and held onto the wall as she went back in. However, the pain was bing unbearable. She was finding it hard to hold it in any longer.


    Mr. Josh noticed that her head was bleeding badly.


    ¡°Madam, you¡¯re bleeding,¡± He mentioned.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Skr replied with a forced smile.


    Her body disagreed with herment as she felt dizzy as soon as she said it. She tried to grab hold of something to help her from falling but she fell and before she could realize what had ensued, everything suddenly went dark.


    ¡°Madam!¡±

 9. Clean You Up

    Skr opened her eyes slowly. She nced around the room to see that she was back inside. She noticed that Louis was sitting in a corner with his long legs crossed.


    He was busy with some files with Mr. Josh sitting close to him as they discussed business. His gaze was fixated on the files yet he was aware of his surrounding. He could tell that Skr was awake.


    Skry still as she saw Louis. It dawned on her that she was back in the same hell she was trying to run away from.


    How will she survive life with Louis?


    Though she had heard tales of cruel he was in the business world and to the people around him. However, having a first-ss experience of his cruelty was something she could never haveprehended.


    As much as she would have loved to stay invisible to him, she couldn¡¯t keep lying down as her throat felt dry. She managed to sit and only then did she notice that an IV was attached to her hand.


    ¡°Gosh!¡± She cursed silently at how many times she would get infused in just one week.


    She tried to take the needle out but her hand halted indefinitely at Louis¡¯s cold voice.


    ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡±


    Skr flinched and her hands dropped as she suddenly became inert. Her chest heaved violently. She was covered in cold sweat as she noticed that he was approaching her.


    Her whole body trembled as he drew closer. She tried to hide her fear but it was visible to Louis¡¯s hawk eyes.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am, you¡¯re awake!¡± Mr. Josh screamed happily.


    ¡°Where do want to go? Louis asked in a low voice.


    ¡°Wa¡­ Water,¡± She muttered.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go get it,¡± Mr. Josh hurried out.


    He returned with a ss of water and handed it to Skr.


    ¡°Thank You,¡± Skr murmured as she gulped down the water.


    ¡°How do you feel, ma¡¯am?¡±


    ¡°Better,¡± She forced a smile.


    ¡°Your head?¡± Louis asked.


    Skr knew he was asking about her health so she replied swiftly.


    ¡°Better,¡± The words rolled out before she could tell.


    ¡°Get some rest,¡± Louis spoke and immediately moved to leave. He stopped after walking a distance.


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask the maids to get you something to eat.¡±


    Skr stared on in awe as she watched him leave.


    Alice returned shortly with a tray of food. She ced it on the table and bowed in greeting.


    ¡°Good afternoon, ma¡¯am,¡±


    ¡°Hello,¡± Skr replied with a smile.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    She was happy that she could at least be with the people who can see her for what she is.


    ¡°How do you feel now?¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± She smiled as she responded.


    ¡°You don¡¯t feel sore?¡± Alice asked again.


    ¡°I¡­ do¡­¡± Skr mumbled.


    She was wondering how Alice could guess that she felt sore. She told no one how she felt.


    ¡°How¡­?¡±


    ¡°Oh, you are wondering how I could guess that?¡±


    ¡°Hm,¡± Skr nodded.


    ¡°Well, it¡¯s how I feel when I haveid for too long.¡±


    ¡°Too long?¡± Skr repeated.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t know?¡± Alice shook her head. ¡°You¡¯ve been lying down motionless for two days.¡±


    ¡°What?! Two days?!¡±


    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am, you were lying unconscious for two days.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am,¡± Linda also replied as she came in.


    ¡°Hi,¡± Skr waved.


    ¡°Good afternoon ma¡¯am,¡± Helen bowed.


    ¡°Did I really fall unconscious for two days?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± They both replied in unison.


    ¡°Wow! Skr gasped in surprise.


    ¡°What happened exactly?¡± Helen inquired.


    ¡°It¡¯s¡­. I¡­.¡±


    Skr stuttered and itched her head. She didn¡¯t know what to say.


    ¡°Ouch!¡± Skr screamed as her hand touched her head.


    Only then did she remember that she had injured her head. The incident from the night came ying in her head.


    ¡°You had a concussion, ma¡¯am,¡± Alice stood up to help her.


    ¡°Oh,¡± She bit on her lips.


    ¡°Have something to eat,¡± Helen served the food.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go freshen up,¡± Skr tried to get off the bed. She removed the IV from her hand and slowly got down.


    ¡°Don¡¯t take it out!¡± Alice shouted.


    ¡°Why not?¡± Skr looked from Alice to Helen. ¡°I need to take a bath.¡±


    ¡°The doctor has asked you to stay put.¡±


    ¡°But I have to clean up.¡±


    Alice exchanged gazes with Helen. ¡°We¡¯ll help you clean up like the boss has been doing before now.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Skr¡¯s hand suddenly went numb. It felt as if her ears heard wrong. She turned so she could get aplete view of Alice¡¯s face.


    ¡°Who cleaned me up?¡±


    ¡°Boss,¡± Helen replied instead.


    ¡°Lou¡­ Louis cleaned me up?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go get him here, so he can do it again.¡± Alice moved to leave.


    ¡°No! No¡­ don¡¯t!¡± Skry back on the bed. ¡°Don¡¯t call Louis, you can do it.¡±


    ¡°Alright, ma¡¯am,¡± Helen went into the bathroom to get warm water and a towel. She slowly dabbed Skr¡¯s body and cleaned her up while Alice picked a new dress for her to wear.


    They changed her clothes and helped her to eat.


    ¡°Thank You,¡± Skr muttered.


    Shey on the bed and closed her eyes to reminisce on all that has happened. She tried to think of a way to adapt to her new life but she could think of none. So she decided to ask them.


    ¡°How long have you worked for Louis?¡±


    ¡°All my life,¡± Alice stated.


    ¡°Five years,¡± Helen also replied.


    ¡°All your life?¡± Skr repeated.


    ¡°The matron is my mother and she has served the Andersons since she was a youngdy.¡±


    ¡°Oh, I see,¡± Skr nodded.


    ¡°So what all do you know about him?¡±


    ¡°Enough to know how his mind works,¡± Alice stated with surety.


    ¡°You? She turned to Helen.


    ¡°I can say but few.¡±


    Skry facing them both as she waited for them to tell her all they knew about Louis.


    Though the girls were reluctant to speak at first but after a lot of persuasion by Skr and when they became convinced that they wouldn¡¯t get in trouble, Alice spoke.


    ¡°Boss spent most of his life here in this mansion with his grandmother.¡±


    ¡°His grandmother lived here?¡± Skr repeated.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Then do you probably know why he is so cold!¡±


    Skr finally asked the question on her mind. However, before Alice could respond; A icy voice replied from the doorway.


    ¡°I can tell you that in person.¡±

 10. Perfect Parcel

    ¡°I can tell you that in person,¡± Louis¡¯s voice reverberated through the door as he made an entrance into the room.


    ¡°Sir,¡± The maids immediately fell to their knees. They knew that they justnded into big trouble.


    They couldn¡¯t dare to look at Louis¡¯s face at the moment. They had done the unthinkable. They were caught gossiping about their master.


    ¡°How audacious! Louis sneered.


    His voice was low but it held as much authority as it should.


    ¡°Forgive us, master,¡± Alice pleaded.


    ¡°Not a chance,¡± He hissed and snapped his fingers.


    Some hefty men marched into the room and grabbed the girls.


    ¡°Louis, please let them go,¡±  Skr pleaded from the bed.


    ¡°Really?¡± He scoffed unbelievably and licked his lower lips.


    If only she knew what was in store for her.


    ¡°It was me. I asked them to tell me.¡±


    ¡°And you will be punished for that!¡± He growled.


    ¡°Let me bear their punishment too.¡±


    ¡°You really think you can stand it?¡± His eyes darkened and his voice turned heavy.


    ¡°I can. Please just let me take it.¡±


    Skr couldn¡¯t stand by and watch the girls get punished when it was she who had pressurized and convinced them to tell her all about Louis.


    Besides, when you think about it logically. Is it wrong to want to know about the man she¡¯s married to?


    They had a shotgun Marriage. One which she never knew or met the groom; not even once before the wedding. She only woke up to be told that she was married.


    Can anyone me her for wanting to know him better?


    If this was a crime then she would dly get punished instead of the poordies who were only doing their jobs.


    ¡°Alright, if that¡¯s what you want then so be it.¡±


    Louis was a man of his word so as soon as he agreed to let her take the fall for thedies, the hefty guards immediately let them go.


    They didn¡¯t need to be told to get out before they ran out of the room; leaving Skr to deal with the demon on her own.


    ¡°Tell me,¡± Skr removed the IV from her hand and she stepped down from the bed.


    This action made Louis¡¯s eyes turn a shade darker than it already was; She just disobeyed him, Adding another bit to her list of crime.


    ¡°You really want to get punished, huh? Louis sneered. ¡°Let¡¯s see how long before youe back begging me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll take it,¡± Skr replied.


    Her will was strong and she was determined. She would never let anyone take the fall for her; especially when she knew how cruel he can be. She¡¯s had few experiences of his cruelty and wouldn¡¯t wish for anyone to pass through such. Especially, not those twodies who had slowly be dear to her.


    ¡°Alright, take off your clothes,¡± Louis began.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°I said, take off your clothes,¡± he repeated, even though he hated talking twice.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°But why?¡± Skr¡¯s mouth hung open.


    ¡°You wanted to get punished, didn¡¯t you? So here it is.¡±


    ¡°But I¡­..¡±


    ¡°The longer it takes, the more it will increase.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Skr reluctantly replied.


    She already agreed to this anyway so there is no turning back. Besides, Louis wouldn¡¯t let her off so easily after all she was caught gossiping with the maids.


    Slowly and begrudgingly, she stepped out of the dress she was wearing; Letting it fall to her feet.


    She knew she shouldn¡¯t be ashamed of doing this since he was her husband but it just doesn¡¯t seem right.


    ¡°Done,¡± Skr bit her Lower lips as she announced to him.


    Louis¡¯s gaze scanned her from her head and took in her features.


    Her hair was raven ck and her face was beautiful with a pair of blue exceptional orbs. A small but pointy nose. She had amusingly hot red lips. Her cheekbone was nicely carved; such that it looked rosy like she had applied blush or something.


    If he didn¡¯t know better, he¡¯d say she was wearing makeup or that she was blushing from ear to ear but given her state at the moment none of that was possible.


    She was just naturally beautiful.


    Louis¡¯s gaze traveled down to her chin and jaw and he confirmed that she was perfectly made. Nothing was out of ce on her face. Every part of her face was nicely carved to make her stand out.


    She is an exceptional beauty.


    Louis¡¯s lips curled up into a smile as he checked out his perfect parcel but the smile disappeared as soon as it appeared.


    He looked down and noticed her neck and chest and he noticed that she still had her underwear on and her hand was wrapped protectively around her chest as if to hide the treasure buried there.


    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you naked?¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr¡¯s head raised abruptly at his shamelessness.


    How could he ask her to stand naked just like that? Without a care in the world.


    ¡°Get those undies out. I want to see everything.¡±


    ¡°But I¡­..¡± Skr bit her lips and sent the rest of the words back down her throat as she noticed his re.


    So evil!


    His eyes are so attractive yet enving. How is that possible? She wondered as she looked at Louis.


    She wished she could escape this part where she has to stand stark naked before this monster but a deal is a deal and she signed up for this. So no turning back.


    ¡°No turning back,¡± She chanted inwardly.


    If this is to save Alice and Helen then she will do it. She made a mental note never to gossip about this devil evil.


    Everything about him can go to hell; where it belongs. She won¡¯t give a fuck about him or his preferences anymore.


    ¡°Done,¡± Skr announced as the pant fell to her feet where the dress was.


    ¡°Your hands,¡± Louis muttered as he observed that her hand was covering the two important parts of her body; the one he really wanted to see.


    ¡°Um¡­¡± Skr wanted to protest but her words got stuck in her throat as Louis picked up his phone.


    She knew he was up to no good so she immediately took her hands off.


    ¡°Behind your head,¡± Louis ordered.


    Skr knew he was asking her to put her hands behind her head. She was mad at this statement.


    How could he ask her to stand before him in surrender? She nevermitted a crime.


    Well, she didmit a small mistake but that is what it is, a small mistake. Why treat her like a criminal just for that?


    Skr did as told. She closed her eyes tightly and pursed her lips to stop her from shooting cuss words at him.


    Louis¡¯s eyes scanned carefully as he checked her body. He looked at her breast and found himself impressed by the shape and size of it. She wasn¡¯t very fleshy but her boobs were big, round, clean, and spotless.


    His exact type.


    He licked his lips lustfully but Skr¡¯s eyes were closed. She didn¡¯t catch this little lustful gesture of his.


    Louis scanned further; his eyes moving downward slowly as he found it.


    The real treasure!

 11. The Greatest

    ¡®His exact type.¡¯


    No unnecessary flesh. Not excessively bonny.


    Just perfect.


    He licked his lips lustfully but Skr¡¯s eyes were closed. She didn¡¯t catch this little lustful gesture of his.


    Louis scanned further; his eyes moving downward slowly as he found it.


    The real treasure!


    His eyes took their time checking carefully for spots, blemishes, and whatnot but she was clean.


    No stain.


    Her skin was Snow White and wless.


    ¡°Stand at ease,¡± He ordered.


    ¡°At ease? Skr scoffed unbelievably.


    Was he mistaking her for a soldier?


    ¡°Legs open,¡± Louis ordered again when he noticed that she was still standing stiff.


    ¡°Scumbag,¡± Skr grumbled as she opened her legs.


    Her eyes were still closed so she didn¡¯t see his lustful gaze on her or she wouldn¡¯t have obeyed him.


    Louis gulped as he looked at her. The treasure between her legs was spotless and hairless too.


    It looked like she hasn¡¯t even grown pubic hair at all; She was clean-shaven.


    So perfect!


    Louis felt attracted to her little treasure.


    Yes, he liked sex but he had excellent taste in women.


    Madison was the first woman he fell in love with but he¡¯s had several women before and after her.


    He would never touch a woman with spots on her. He just hated dirt.


    Louis felt proud of himself as he unwraps his parcel. She was the first parcel he purchase without checking its content first and thankfully she is good. His effort hadn¡¯t gone to waste.


    Louis took his time checking her out. Especially her V-area. He felt discontented. He wanted more. She was suddenly making him feel hungry.


    Not for food but sex.


    ¡°What the hell?!¡± Louis cussed.


    This was the first time this had happened. He would always make people hungry for him; No one has ever made him hungry for them before, not even Madison.


    Though Madison gives him sexual urges and she manages to get his needs satiated but the urge he felt with Skr was different.


    It felt as if he was drawn to her.


    ¡°Nonsense!¡± Louis muttered to himself.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr thought she heard him say something.


    ¡°Come closer,¡± He ordered.


    ¡°I¡­ shoulde?¡± She asked again for rity.


    ¡°Come here!¡±


    Skr flinched and hurried forward she took her step one after the other and went closer to him, against her will.


    She would have to stay as far away from this monster as she could but right now she had no choice but to obey.


    She jumped forward until she bumped into Louis, who was standing like a rock. He didn¡¯t budge even though she bumped into him with so much force.


    ¡°Sorry,¡± She muttered an apology and took one step back.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    Her feet halted but she still didn¡¯t open her eyes. She couldn¡¯t bear to see herself standing naked before the devil.


    ¡°At ease,¡± He ordered again.


    ¡°What is that?¡± Skr couldn¡¯t hold back from asking.


    He keeps saying at ease like he is in the army.


    ¡°Legs open,¡± he repeated impatiently.


    He was itching to see her V-area closely. He wanted to check for ws and imperfections as he thought to himself.


    He wasn¡¯t doing anything wrong, was he?


    Skr obeyed again and Louis was impressed by her obedience. Judging from her pertinacity during the marriage.


    If you can call that marriage.


    Well judging from that, he had thought she would always put up a tough front for everything but seeing her being so submissive was quite impressive.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    The less stress she gives, the less he¡¯d worry about the kind of punishment to mete out to her.


    Louis smiled seeing her open legs. He looked closely and gulped seeing her V-area. He wasn¡¯t only pleased, he was perplexed.


    She looked tight and enticing.


    His hand was itching to feel the beautiful parcel but his eyes still weren¡¯t contented; He wanted an even closer look.


    So he went out of his way just to satisfy his eyes; He knelt.


    Louis knelt before her and tilted his head so he could get a clearer view of her Cunt. He unconsciously licked his lips.


    His hand was getting restless, so without thinking, he touched her.


    ¡°What¡­ What are you doing?¡± Skr stepped away. Her eyes were still closed.


    Her heart raced as she felt his hand on her.


    ¡°Come back here,¡± Louis¡¯s voice sounded low. He was trying to hide the lust in his voice.


    She had gotten to him so much and he was so affected by her.


    ¡°No! You didn¡¯t say you¡¯d touch me.¡± Skr refused.


    Louis got up and straightened himself out. He tried to blink the image of that tight Cunt out of his mind.


    Fuck!


    ¡°She¡¯s messing with me,¡± He mumbled.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr slowly opened her eyes.


    ¡°Get back here!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s enough, shouldn¡¯t it? I¡¯ve been standing for fifteen minutes and thirty-two seconds.¡±


    She had been calcting the time she¡¯s being standing.


    ¡°Really? You keep tabs on everything?¡± Louis scoffed.


    His eyes darkened to see her do the opposite of his order. She was taking backward steps away from him instead of doing as he asked.


    ¡°Skr!¡±


    Skr¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he said her name. In the past few days since they¡¯ve been married. Not once has he said her name until now.


    It sounded different; somewhat unique the way he said it. He spoke her name with a European ent. It sounded special even though he spoke roughly.


    Skr felt something flutter in the pit of her belly.


    ¡°I won¡¯te!¡±


    Louis growled at her refusal.


    How dare this littlemb refuse his order.


    ¡°I won¡¯t say it again.¡± His words were heavy; holding as much threat as one could imagine.


    ¡°I.. I¡­ won¡¯te¡­¡± She stood her ground.


    She wouldn¡¯t waver; at least not this time. She already did as he asked. What else does he want?


    ¡°Are you defying me?¡± Louis started walking forward and Skr started moving backward automatically.


    ¡°No¡­ I¡­.¡±


    ¡°Do you know who I am?¡± He roared.


    Though his voice was low, it sounded mighty and heavy to the ear. She couldn¡¯t deny its effect on her.


    His voice was manly and authoritative; just like a king¡¯s.


    ¡°No¡­ Yes ¡­..¡±


    ¡°Who am I?¡± He asked, almost naturally.


    ¡°Lou¡­ Louis¡­ You are Louis¡­ Anderson.¡±


    Skr was moving backward as she spoke and Louis was following with slow and enigmatic steps.


    His feet halted as Skr¡¯s back hit the wall. He smirked and leaned forward.


    Skr closed her eyes immediately as Louis¡¯s warm breath caressed her neck. He moved her hair away from her neck and leaned closer.


    Skr suck in the air and grabbed the wall tightly.


    Will he bite me?


    Is he a vampire?


    However, she noticed no movement after Louis had leaned forward. She opened one eye to look at him as she wondered what he was up to.


    Louis on the other hand was checking out her lips as if to make sure that she was clean.


    Louis jammed his lips with hers and Skr gasped in shock. Her eyes opened immediately and she looked down at Louis who was nibbling on her lips.


    He stepped away from her and smirked seeing her dumbstruck.


    ¡°The great,¡± he muttered.


    Skr looked at him; confused about the meaning behind his words, she stared on.


    ¡°I am Louis Anderson; The greatest.¡± He turned his head menacingly to meet her gaze as he said, ¡°Never forget to add that.¡±

 12. Don鈥檛 Keep Me Waiting

    ¡°I am Louis Anderson; The greatest.¡± He turned his head menacingly to meet her gaze as he said, ¡°Never forget to add that.¡±


    Wait! What?


    She blinked as she looked at him; For the first time, she got to look into his eyes.


    His eyes were amber!


    Look how clear and pure his eyes are!


    Skr couldn¡¯t look away from his eyes. They were alluring. She almost confused those eyes for an angel¡¯s.


    But could she dare topare Louis to an angel?


    ¡°The ¡­. What? She finally found her voice.


    She blinked unbelievably as she looked at the man before her. He was tall, well built with a perfect physique. Every feature on his face was perfectly sculpted.


    His chiseled jawline and thin lips were one to die for. It¡¯s no wonder he was rumored to always make women fall at his feet.


    ¡°The greatest? She repeated in amazement but Louis mistook that forpliant.


    He was once again impressed by her obedience. His anger from earlier had dissipated. She was forgiven.


    ¡°Really? Skrughed.


    Why didn¡¯t she ever notice that he was a narcissist?


    Skr stood still and her eyes looked on in awe as he stepped away from her. He marched into the bathroom leaving her standing stark naked in the room.


    He didn¡¯t tell her if she could put the clothes back on.


    ¡°Louis¡­.¡± Skr called out to him but she bit her lips and shook her head.


    ¡°Should I say the rest of the word? She wondered.


    She closed her eyes tightly as she contemted If she should call his name as he had asked.


    She shook her head as she fought internally about what to do.


    She didn¡¯t know for how long she had been contemting nor did she realize that he was back in the room until she heard his cold voice.


    ¡°Why are you still standing there?¡±


    ¡°Huh? I can go?¡± She muttered with joy.


    She could finally go. Skr almost danced with joy.


    She has escaped a tragedy.


    Her happiness knew no bounds as she hopped towards the bathroom.


    ¡°Get dressed and be prepared for the rest of it!¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Skr¡¯s jaw dropped.


    Her joy was short-lived at Louis¡¯s notification.


    He didn¡¯t even let her bask in joy for a minute longer.


    Such a devil.


    ¡°I¡­. still have¡­ to go through more?¡± Skr couldn¡¯t bring herself to say the word punishment.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    What did she do to deserve to be punished anyway?


    She only wanted to know more about her supposed husband. Is that a crime?


    Louis ignored her mncholic expression and he inched closer. He grabbed her waist and held her chin with his other hand.


    ¡°Can¡¯t stand it anymore?¡± He smirked.


    He knew she wouldn¡¯tst long. He was the master at breaking people and this littlemb before him, would surely break in no time.


    ¡°I¡­ thought¡­. this¡­ was ¡­.. all¡­.¡± Pursing her lips through each word, Skr replied truthfully.


    She thought that was all. She thought he had avenged the supposed gossip and she was free.


    ¡°Dream on,¡± Louis leaned to her ear as he whispered. ¡°We¡¯re only just getting started.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Skr snapped.


    She was flustered. The way his warm breath kissed her cheek made her feel strange.


    ¡°I¡­. thought¡­.¡± She immediately lowered her voice as she noticed his gaze.


    He is a killer!


    ¡°That little punishment earlier was yours to bear,¡± he finally opened his mouth to exin.


    He knew that this little kitten couldn¡¯t wait to escape him but that was only her wishful thinking because he wouldn¡¯t let her get away from h so easily.


    ¡°You still to shoulder your maids¡¯, right?¡±


    His eyes stared mockingly at her and a smirk danced on his face.


    Skr bit her lips and nodded begrudgingly.


    She couldn¡¯t go back on her words now. Thedies were innocent. It was she who had pestered them into telling her about Louis so it should be her cross to bear.


    ¡°Ye¡­ Yes,¡± She replied determinedly.


    ¡°Good,¡± Louis patted her ass and it bounced against his warm hand.


    His eyes darkened as his emotions arouse the instant his hand made contact with her butt. He didn¡¯t like the effect she was having on him.


    He likes to always be in control but he seems to be losing that since she arrived. Especially, since she stood naked before him.


    Something was changing in him but he was unwilling.


    He would never be enved!


    ¡°Get Lost!¡± He yelled.


    Skr was startled by his voice. She flinched and her legs moved subconsciously. She only realized that she ran when she found herself in the bathroom.


    She was panting heavily as she leaned in the door with her back supporting the door. She ced her hand on her chest as she heaved.


    What a monster!


    Skr slowly dropped herself to the floor; still with her back against the door.


    Why did her father send her to this hell?


    What has she ever done to deserve this?


    She sighed with dejection as she sat on the cold floor. She hid her head in between herp.


    She wanted to scream but her voice seemed to have left her along with everyone. She wanted to cry but her tears seemed to have dried up. She couldn¡¯t do anything; so she just sat there and kept sighing.


    ¡°Don¡¯t keep me waiting or it¡¯ll intensify.¡±


    Louis¡¯s cold voice traveled to the bathroom.  Skr knew it wasn¡¯t an empty threat. She understood perfectly what he meant.


    Without further dy, she jumped up and rushed to take a bath. She didn¡¯t even use the bath, she opted for the shower since that would be faster.


    The devil was calling, who was she to keep him waiting?


    Besides, he already warned her. And to be forewarned they say is to be forearmed.


    She wiped herself dry and immediately jumped into the closet. Thank God she paid attention to Helen when showed her everything about the room, especially the connecting doors.


    They seemedplicated at first because there were too many doors in the big room and she confused them for each other. She didn¡¯t know which one led were but her confused mind still worked fine as it helped her locate the right door this time.


    She picked a simple dress and dried her hair. She tied her hair into a ponytail and picked simple slippers. She dressed hurriedly and immediately jumped out.


    However, she found the room empty as soon as she stepped out.


    Gosh! She waste!

 13. Dance For Me

    ¡°Louis?¡± Skr called as she looked around the room. She was badly wishing that he hadn¡¯t left.


    Her heart thumped violently against her ribcage as she ran around checking from one room to the other in search of him.


    Though the room was one but it was very big with several doors. Just like a maze.


    ¡°Louis? She called as she opened another door.


    There were several doors in the room but it was connected to another part of the house. She entered another room and gasped at what she saw.


    The room looked like an art shop.


    Skr went further inside; checking the paintings on the wall and around the room.


    ¡°Who made these beautiful paintings?¡± She asked as she passed the room; brushing her hand through each of the paintings as she admired the paintings.


    ¡°Could it be Louis?¡± Skr pursed her lips and fixed her gaze on the paintings.


    ¡°No Way!¡± Skr disagreed. ¡°Louis is a monster! There¡¯s no way he¡¯d make such beautiful paintings.¡±


    She went further inside; taking her time to study the paintings. The beautifulndscapes and hills.


    The blooming of flowers. The rising of the sun. Everything was painted there.


    It all looked so real that she couldn¡¯t help touching it. She smiled to herself as she admired the artwork.


    Whoever made those paintings was a master.


    There was also a painting of a woman at the center of the room.


    Wait!¡­


    The woman in the painting looked familiar!


    Skr went closer to the painting to take a closer look and she confirmed that it was someone she knew.


    The woman in the painting was Madison!


    ¡°Madison?¡± Skr called out as if the painting could hear her.


    She went closer to look closely at the painting, almost aligning herself with it.


    ¡°It¡¯s Madison,¡± She confirmed to herself. ¡°But why is she naked?¡±


    Skr couldn¡¯t understand why Louis would paint Madison when she was naked. She was sitting on a chair with her leg raised and herp slightly open. She had a pink fluffy bear pillow in her mid-thigh.


    Her hair was let down and brought to the side; exposing her naked shoulder. Her hand snaked around her boobs as if to hide her frontal nudity.


    Skr wrinkled her face and shook her head in disbelief as she watched the panting.


    ¡°Why would anyone agree to be painted naked?¡±


    ¡°Skr?¡± Louis¡¯s voice reverberated through the thick doors of the room.


    Skr gasped from fear.


    Louis was back in the room?


    She snuck out of the room and closed the door. She hurried back to the bedroom.


    She tiptoed out. Taking stealthy footsteps out of the room.


    She got out of the room with her back first but as soon as she got out through the connecting door, her back hit a hard object.


    ¡°How did the walle here? She wondered and tried to move but she froze at Louis¡¯s question.


    ¡°Why did you go in there?¡± Louis¡¯s eyes darkened as she called him a wall.


    ¡°Huh? Skr shuddered.


    ¡°Weren¡¯t you told never to go there?¡± His voice sounded low and concise.


    He was able to pass his message across; rendering the other party speechless.


    ¡°How dare you?!¡±


    Skr jumped and left huge space between them as she ran off.


    ¡°Master never let anyone in here.¡±


    ¡°The door is always closed.¡±


    ¡°We are not permitted to even clean the room.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the only room no one dares to go to.¡±


    ¡°Only Mrs. Alisa was allowed to go in there.¡±


    Skr closed her eyes as Helen and Alice¡¯s words echoed in her head.


    Was this the room they were referring to?


    She has always confused the doors for one another.


    Her eyes widened at the thought. She raised her head to steal a nce at Louis and she wasn¡¯t surprised to see him re at her.


    ¡°Answer me!¡±


    ¡°I.. I¡­ Was looking for you,¡± She stated truthfully.


    ¡°You were looking for me? In there?¡± Louis¡¯s eyes became frosty.


    How could she lie so tantly?


    ¡°Ye¡­ Yes¡­ I thought you ¡­..¡±


    ¡°The door is always locked, how did you get in?¡±


    ¡°It was open¡­.¡±


    ¡°It is never open!¡± Louis yelled, grabbing her shoulders.


    Skr moved backward but Louis¡¯s hold was tight. He was looking at her like he would strangle her at any time.


    ¡°Lie!¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Skr wondered what he thought was a lie.


    The fact that she was looking for him or the fact that the room was open?


    ¡°How dare you lie to my face?! Louis¡¯s gripped harder on her shoulder.


    ¡°I¡¯m not,¡± Skr winced.


    The pain in her shoulder was overpowering.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare!¡± Louis raised his index. His eyes stared daggers at her as he slowly let her go.


    ¡°I¡¯m telling the ¡­.


    ¡°Not another word!¡± Louis¡¯s voice echoed loudly in the room that she had to cover her ears to protect her eardrums.


    ¡°Not another word,¡± He repeated.


    This time his voice was low but frigid.


    Skr was dumbfounded. She couldn¡¯t understand where she had gone wrong again.


    She had only gone into his painting room, not some hidden treasure room.


    Why was he making a fuss just for that?


    Or is he probably mad because she saw Madison¡¯s painting?


    Skr was lost in thought when something hard suddenly grabbed her neck. She looked up to see Louis already standing close to her.


    His eyes almost burned a hole through her. The hand around her neck wasn¡¯t too tight to kill but tight enough to make her feel ufortable.


    ¡°No one defies my orders, Skr, and you¡¯ve done that twice today.¡± He whisperedzily.


    As if it was natural for him to grab someone¡¯s neck.


    ¡°I¡­ I¡­.¡± Skr couldn¡¯t speak.


    It was probably because he was holding her neck or because she was stunned by his words.


    She stared at him as if the devil was standing before her.


    ¡°Never defy me.¡± Louis¡¯s grip tightened. ¡°I don¡¯t like it.¡±


    Though Louis looked calm while he spoke those words but his devilish voice sounded like a thunderstorm in her ears; holding a heavy threat.


    Was that a warning?


    No. That sounded like death bells.


    Skr pursed her lips and tried to nod but his grip was too strong. She held his hand to pry them open and free herself from him but his grip got tighter.


    Her eyes wereced with tears as she looked at Louis.


    What has she done to deserve this?


    ¡°Sir, ma¡¯am, dinner is served.¡± Mrs. Alisa¡¯s voice came in through the door.


    Louis nced in the direction of the voice and his eyes darkened. He returned to Skr and his lips curled up.


    He just got an interesting idea.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    ¡°Can you dance?¡±


    Louis let go of her neck and pped his hands to brush off whatever residue was left from the touch.


    ¡°I¡­¡± Skr coughed and tears ran down her eyes. ¡°Can¡¯t¡­¡±


    She didn¡¯t want to cry.


    She didn¡¯t want to show him her weak side but she couldn¡¯t help it.


    This was too much.


    ¡°You don¡¯t know how to dance?¡± Louis leaned closer.


    He squatted before her and raised her jaw with his finger.


    ¡°I ¡­. Can¡¯t.¡± Skr was still struggling for breath.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll like to see.¡± Louis smirked.


    He was enjoying this.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr blinked.


    She didn¡¯t seem to hear him right. She remembered clearly that she just said she couldn¡¯t dance. Then what was he saying he wanted to see.


    Louis stood and walked away. With his hand on the door knob and his eyes looking backward to see Skr look pitiful. He smirked as he said,


    ¡°I want to see you dance and dance you must!¡±

 14. First Dinner

    ¡°I want to see you dance and dance you must!¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Skr¡¯s eyes widened. She coughed and put forth her hand to call out to him. Her voice sounded hoarse.


    Louis didn¡¯t stop. He walkedckadaisically out of the room. He was expecting a good show.


    Skr slowly got up from the ground. She cleaned her body of dirt. She immediately wiped her face.


    The tears were rolling uncontrobly. Why is he so cruel to her?


    Though she has heard how cruel Louis was in the outside world but experiencing it firsthand was overwhelming.


    ¡°Madam, the boss has called for you,¡± Helen announced from the door. She opened the door and stepped in.


    She was stunned to see Skr. Her eyes were puffy and her face had stains of dried tears. She knew what must have happened, After all, Skr took the fall for them.


    ¡°Are you okay, ma¡¯am?¡± Helen¡¯s voice had a trace of regret.


    She shouldn¡¯t have agreed to let Skr take the me for them.


    She felt bad for Skr.


    Skr could tell what she was thinking from the change in her expression.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± She smiled.


    ¡°You don¡¯t look fine.¡± Helen disagreed.


    Skr didn¡¯t respond anymore, she just walked past Helen. She went straight to the bathroom. She stopped before the big Venice mirror sitting elegantly on the bathroom wall.


    She shook her head and wept bitterly as she looked at her reflection.


    This wasn¡¯t her.


    How could she look so miserable in just a few days?


    She sat on the floor and hugged her knees as she cried. She covered her mouth to muffle her cries as she wept bitterly.


    What has she done to deserve this pain?


    ¡°Madam?¡± Helen called out to her. She ced her ear on the door to check for sound.


    The madam had gone inside for a while and she didn¡¯t hear the sound of water running in the background.


    ¡°Madam?¡± Helen knocked on the door.


    Skr stood up and ced her back against the wall.


    She couldn¡¯t allow anyone to see her so miserable.


    ¡°Madam?¡± Helen called a little louder, worry evident in her tone.


    ¡°I¡¯ming.¡± Skr sniffed back to tears.


    She made sure to lock the door before moving toward the bathroom. She wiped her tears and washed her face with cold water.


    She sttered water on her face to help get rid of the tear stain and her puffy eyes. She filled the tub and buried her head in it, to get enough water into her eyes. Maybe that would stop the tears.


    She stayed underwater for a while but tears still didn¡¯t stop raining down her eyes. She consoled herself in every way she could and managed to draw strength from her determination.


    She will bear it all strongly. She refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing her break.


    ¡°Are you okay, ma¡¯am?¡± Helen was pacing the room restlessly.


    They were runningte and she knew how much the boss hatedteness. Besides, she was also worried about Skr.


    What if something has happened to her in there?


    Did she probably harm herself?


    Helen¡¯s eyes widened at the thought and she rushed towards the door to knock again but she bumped into Skr.


    ¡°Ouch! Helen hissed in pain.


    ¡°Are you okay, madam? She asked as she e rubbed her forehead where she had bumped her head against Skr.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Skr patted Helen¡¯s cheek as she walked past her.


    Helen was stunned to see the sudden change in Skr.


    She was looking different from how she was before going into the bathroom. Her red eyes were clear. The puffs were gone.


    Her scattered hair was neatly tied into a ponytail. She already got a change of clothes and she looked refreshed.


    Unlike earlier when she looked like her soul had left her.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t we runningte?¡± Skr asked, cutting Helen¡¯s train of thought.


    ¡°Oh, sorry ma¡¯am.¡±


    Helen opened the door for Skr and she followed behind her as they both descended the stairs.


    Louis was looking straight but as soon he noticed Skring, his gaze darted in her direction.


    He gaped, seeing her transformation.


    He was happy earlier, seeing how to look helpless but she was different now. He was surprised to see how fast she can recover.


    However, his eyes returned to being frosty. He raised his wrist to check the time and he grunted.


    ¡°I apologize for keeping you waiting,¡± Skr said as she took her seat.


    She was having dinner in the house as the madam for the first time so she needed to look good; which is why she decided to dress well for the asion.


    ¡°You what?¡± Louis frowned.


    If she thinks she can escape being punished just because she apologized then it was a lie.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for arrivingte,¡± Skr repeated.


    ¡°You think an apology is enough? Louis raised his brow dangerously.


    His eyes hold an expression that couldn¡¯t be exined. No one could tell what was going on in his devilish mind.


    ¡°I already apologized, you monster what else do you want!¡±  Skr wanted to say but she immediately bit her lips to stop the words from rolling out.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Louis scoffed. He raised his hand to check the time again and he nodded.


    ¡°Forty minutes,¡± he said as he looked at her.


    Skr knew he was referring to the amount of time she took. She didn¡¯t know she took that long but could she be med?Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    He had made her lose track of everything, even time.


    Skr looked down at her feet and pursed her lips.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what else to do,¡± She whispered.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you,¡± Louis smirked and picked up his cutlery.


    The maids knew that this was a cue for them to serve the food. Without further dy, the food was served and Louis started eating.


    Skr waited to hear him say it but Louis quietly ate his food.


    ¡°He was saying something to her, wasn¡¯t he? She wondered as she watched him.


    Skr sighed inwardly as she picked up her cutlery. Said a silent prayer and she also started eating.


    The dinner went on in perfect silence.


    Skr ate as much as she could because she knew that Louis would deal with her for beingte and who knows she might pass out this time and wake up after one week. So she stuffed her stomach with more food.


    Though Skr was calm on the outside; she was restless on the inside.


    She was praying silently that whatever punishment he¡¯d mete out to her should be light because she couldn¡¯t bear to have scars all around her body.


    Besides, her head still hasn¡¯t healed. She had only just woken up from her two days unconscious state.


    Skr¡¯s heart almost shot out of her ass when she heard him clear his throat. She knew he was about to give the verdict for herteness.


    She rejoiced internally when Louis stood up and went towards the Living room. However, she had forgotten how evil Louis can be.  She was about to thank her star when she suddenly heard him snap his finger.


    ¡°Music!¡±

 15. I Own You

    ¡°Music!¡± Louis¡¯s voice echoed several times in Skr¡¯s head as she finally realized that she was in big trouble.


    He wasn¡¯t punishing her for beingte, he was dealing with her for going inside the art room. She thought he had forgotten about it since she told him that she couldn¡¯t dance.


    Who would have thought that this devil still remembers?


    ¡°Music?¡± Skr pretended like she didn¡¯t understand what he meant.


    ¡°Start dancing,¡± Louis ordered as soon as the music was yed.


    Skr looked around and she could see the guards and maids standing there. How could she dance before the male guards?


    Why is he so hell-bent on humiliating her?


    ¡°Louis, I already told you that I can¡¯t dance.¡± Skr reminded him.


    The atmosphere around suddenly dropped as Louis¡¯s eyes darkened dangerously. His lips thinned.


    ¡°Dance,¡± Louis repeated; paying no attention to her words.


    ¡°Louis, please, I can¡¯t.¡± Skr pleaded.


    Her voice cracked as more tears threatened to roll out. She had done so well to send the tears back but now it wasing back.


    ¡°Dance!¡± Louis hissed, his voice as loud as thunder; Echoing around the room.


    Skr shivered as his voice sent cold shivers down her entire body.


    ¡°Please Louis, don¡¯t make me dance.¡± Skr pleaded.


    ¡°Why?¡± Louis sniggered.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know how to.¡± Skr looked down at her feet to hide her face.


    She isn¡¯t a good liar and she was afraid that Louis would find out that she was telling a lie.


    Everyone close to Skr knew that she was a great dancer but she just couldn¡¯t bring herself to dance before a monster like Louis.


    Especially not when his guards are around.


    ¡°Alright then,¡± Louis replied.


    Skr was about to rejoice, He finally let her go.


    She thought she had escaped when Louis added, ¡°Guess you need a teacher.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr¡¯s eyes widened with shock.


    Did he just say, teacher?


    Why would he want to get a dance teacher for her?


    Was this punishment so important that he couldn¡¯t wait to see her dance?


    ¡°I don¡¯t¡­¡±


    ¡°Jonas,¡± Louis called. ¡°Teach her.¡±


    He sounded frivolous as he spoke. Did he think all this was a joke?


    ¡°What?¡± Skr lost her footing as she heard him.


    Did he just ask his bodyguard to teach her?


    ¡°Come madam,¡± The guard moved forward. He waltzes around the room with his hand open.


    He dancedzily around the room but his eyes were on Skr.


    ¡°Is this really happening?¡± Skr screamed inwardly.


    She nced at the guard dancing proudly around the room and it finally dawned on her that her life was worse than she had thought.


    ¡°Stop,¡± Louis ordered.


    Jonas stopped moving as the music stopped. He bowed to Louis and he waved his hand in dismissal.


    ¡°Begin!¡± His eyes were fixated on Skr as he spoke.


    Skr knew he was telling her to dance right before the guards.


    She closed her eyes and gathered the amount of courage needed to tackle this demon.


    Skr opened her eyes and she started dancing. She took a final nce around. She pursed her lips and clenched her fist.


    She shut her eyes tightly and she started twerking and whining to the music.


    Louis¡¯s lips curled up seeing her dance so well. He knew she could dance from the beginning.


    He is Louis Anderson. He wouldn¡¯t deal with anyone without knowing all about them and such was the case with Skr. He has done his homework on her. Hence, there was nothing she could hide about herself.


    Skr kept dancing until she became breathless. She opened her eyes to ask Louis if she could stop dancing but she what she saw.


    The living room was empty!


    It turns out that she had been dancing all by herself.


    There was no sign of Louis or the guards. The maids were nowhere to be seen either. Everyone had disappeared.


    Skr turned around in search of them but they were nowhere in sight. She sighed and took a seat on the chair.


    Why has Louis decided to torment her?


    Skr pursed her lips and clenched her fist; tight enough that her nails dug into her palm. She picked up her slippers and sauntered towards the stairs.


    She didn¡¯t know if she should be happy that she didn¡¯t dance before the guards or be sad that he made her dance yet still walked away like it didn¡¯t matter.


    What was expecting anyway?


    She didn¡¯t expect Louis to watch her dance and then p for her after her beautiful performance, was she?


    Skr hung her head in shame as she walked the stairs. Her legs suddenly felt heavy. Her life was nugatory.


    Mrs. Alisa stepped out and sighed seeing Skr¡¯s state.


    The boss was being so unfair to his wife but who was she to tell him this?


    Could she dare to interfere in Louis¡¯s life?


    Skr returned her shoes to the closet and took off her clothes and she changed into her pajamas.


    She let her hair down and walked out of the closet. She suddenly felt tired.


    She was about to lie down on the bed when she felt someone hold her.


    She tried to turn to see who it was but the hand tightened around her waist and made her stand straight.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    She could already tell who he was from his cologne.


    Skr¡¯s heart suddenly started thumping very fast.


    Was he going to exert his right as her husband?


    ¡°You can¡¯t go to sleep just yet,¡± Louis whispered. His hoarse voice couldn¡¯t hide the desire hidden behind his words.


    ¡°I can¡¯t sleep? Skr wanted to turn again but Louis held her tightly.


    His hand squeezed lightly on her boobs as he rubbed his face against her hair.


    ¡°Louis! Skr yelled as she pushed him.


    Though she exerted enough force to throw him off bnce, Louis stood unmoved. He was strong.


    Besides, he was already prepared to get pushed by her.


    ¡°What? Louis groaned.


    His voice sounded low and lustful.


    ¡°You can¡¯t do that to me!¡± Skr struggled to free but Louis didn¡¯t let go of his hold on her breast.


    ¡°What? He asked tly.


    Seeing her dance earlier got him so turned on. Those moves were amazing. She worked her waist expertly.


    ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re shy?¡± Louis asked. His hands moved slowly around her body.


    ¡°I¡­. I.. don¡¯t¡­. want¡­¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t want this?¡± Louis hissed; his eyes darkened dangerously. He turned her around and made her look at him.


    ¡°I ¡­. don¡¯t feel¡­.¡±


    Louis saw the reluctance in her eyes. She was biting her lips and fiddling with the hem of her dress.


    ¡°You have to bear your punishment, remember?


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr was stunned to hear that.


    Was he doing this just to punish her?


    She could feel her blood boil as he touched her. She felt disgusted.


    ¡°You¡¯ll serve me tonight.¡± He nibbled on her ear.


    ¡°I won¡¯t!¡± Skr pushed him off her.


    Louis¡¯s face became dangerously frosty. His eyes turned bloody as he staggered from being pushed by her.


    She dared to push him!


    Skr rushed towards the door but Louis caught her in time before she could open it. He carried her on his shoulder and threw her on the bed.


    ¡°I own you! Louis hissed.


    He tore open her clothes and ced rough kisses around her body.


    ¡°And you have no right to refuse me!¡±

 16. Little Kitten

    ¡°You have no right to refuse me!¡± Louis hissed as he tore off thest of her clothing.  His eyes were dimmed with pleasure.


    He was like a hungry lion who has finally caught his prey.


    ¡°Please don¡¯t do this Louis,¡± Skr pleaded with tears.


    Louis ignored her pleas and kissed her. Her lips were salty and only then did he notice the tears.


    ¡°You¡¯re crying?¡± Louis growled.


    He hasn¡¯t done anything to make her cry, then why was she in tears?


    His eyes were clouded with lust as he stared at her lips. They were alluring. He kissed her again and fondled her breast, sending waves of emotions crashing in on her.


    ¡°You should be happy,¡± He stated like he was doing her a favor.


    ¡°I¡¯m not happy, please let me go.¡±


    Louis¡¯s eyes darkened. He won¡¯t take it anymore.


    How could she deny him?


    She was his legal wife and he could do whatever he wanted with her. Why was she being so stubborn?


    ¡°Then, I will make you happy,¡± Louis inserted his finger into her and Skr screamed out loud.


    He kissed her and muffled her cries as she screamed in his mouth. Skr was squirming as he touched her. His fingers were big and she felt a sting as he inserted them.


    As if that wasn¡¯t enough, Louis inserted his other finger and Skr cried louder.


    ¡°This is prep,¡± Louis muttered as he tried to hold her in ce.


    ¡°Get it out, it hurts!¡± Skr cried.


    Louis was getting vexed by her stubborn act. Her cries were giving him a headache.


    ¡°I¡¯ll gag you if you won¡¯t stop screaming,¡± Louis warned her.


    Skr pursed her lips to stop her from crying. She knew he would do exactly as he said but she couldn¡¯t keep it in as Louis inserted his third finger.


    ¡°God! Louis please!¡±


    ¡°Shh¡­..¡± Louis got up and went to the drawer. He took a handkerchief and stuffed it into her mouth.


    Skr¡¯s eyes widened and she tried to scream but it only came out a low groan. Louis smirked seeing that the noise was gone.


    He returned to his work and started inspecting her. Skr was trying to run away from him but he held her down.


    ¡°If you try to move again then I¡¯ll tie you up!¡±


    ¡°Uh¡­¡± Skr cooed.


    She stayed put and sumbed to fate; letting Louis do whatever he wanted with her.


    ¡°Good,¡± Louis patted her as he went on with what he was doing.


    He removed the gag as soon as he was sure that she¡¯d cooperate. He locked his lips with hers in a passionate kiss orchestrated by him.


    Louis was having utmost fun as he kissed her, his tongue was deep inside her mouth, and his fingers were deep inside her Cunt.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    He inserted his finger inside her as he kissed one after the other. Sometimes he would put all three fingers in at once.


    Skr dug her nails into the bed as he did all that to her. She was biting the corner of her cheek to stop herself from shooting cuss words at him.


    She hated him.


    After getting the desired results, Louis let her go. He retracted his fingers and closed her legs. His fingers took a final pinch on her tit and he stood up.


    ¡°Go take a bath.¡± He ordered.


    Skr jumped out of bed before he would change his mind and decide to go all the way with her. She scurried into the bathroom, almost running on all four.


    Louis smirked seeing how much she feared him.


    His little kitten.


    He looked down at his d*ck but shook his head.


    He wanted to go all the way with her but for some reason, he decided to give her some more time.


    ¡°Why did you let her go?¡± He scolded himself as his private part hardened up. The more he thought of her, the bigger his d*ck gets.


    Louis hissed and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower.


    He would never let go of such an opportunity the next time it presents itself.


    Louis went to his study room to get his thoughts settled and when he returned to the room, he found her sleeping soundly.


    She was sleeping at the edge of the bed as if she was afraid of obtaining too much space. Louis changed into his pajamas and got on the bed.


    He has to get used to having a little kitten on his bed now.


    He¡¯s had so manydies but none of them ever shared his bed except for sex. None of them ever stepped into his room. Not even Madison.


    Louis moved her to sleep properly on the bed before taking his space. However, as soon as heid down to sleep, Skr turned and held him.


    She snaked her hands around him.


    Louis was stunned. He stayed still for a while; hoping she¡¯d switch back to her position but nothing happened after waiting.


    He tried to take her hands off him but Skr snuggled closer.


    Louis shook at how clingy she was. He never noticed this before.


    It¡¯s past one week since they got married but they never shared a bed so he never knew any of her sleeping habits.


    Louisy on his side and propped his head with his hand as he watched her sleeping face. She was sleeping peacefully yet she stole his sleep away.


    What a wicked woman!


    Louis took her hair off her face and took his time to study her face. Her petite frame could fit into his hands if sped together.


    Her nose was small but pointy. She looked beautiful with her pink rosy lips. Hershes were long and beautiful. Her brow was thick and perfect for her face.


    Her face was exceptionally carved. She was an outstanding creation. Everything about her was perfect and useful in illustrating her beauty.


    Nothing was out of ce on her face. She was perfect. Louis shook his head as he watched her closely.


    He liked the feel of her hair on his hand. So he rubbed her hair sweetly.


    ¡°Goodnight little kitten.¡±

 17. Befriend Flowers

    Skr rubbed her eyes and tried to sit up. However, a strong pair of hands were wrapped around her waist. She knew it was Louis but she couldn¡¯t help but wonder when he had returned and why he chose to sleep in the room this time.


    She closed her eyes and pursed her lips as several thoughts yed in her mind.


    ¡°Did he touch me? Did he exert his right while I was asleep?


    Skr tried to turn to catch a glimpse of his face but Louis was holding her still. She wriggle herself out and managed to turn.


    Skr was stunned to see how peaceful he looked In his sleep. So innocent.


    His face was perfectly carved. His brow was thick and brownish. His nose was long and sharp with a chiseled jawline. His face was perfect, nothing was out of ce.


    Everything was carved to enhance his extraordinary beauty.


    He is an Adonis.


    He looked like an angel, so innocent and sweet.


    But is Louis Anderson an angel?


    Skr shook her head in denial. She would never make such a mistake. The sleeping Louis might be gentle but the real man is a monster.


    ¡°Like what you see?¡±


    Louis¡¯s euphonic voice startled Skr.


    She was caught gawking. So naturally, she was embarrassed. She looked at him in shock but his eyes were still closed.


    ¡°How did he know that I was staring at him?¡± Skr wrinkled her face and shook her head.


    ¡°Monster!¡± She mumbled.


    ¡°I can hear you,¡± Louis said with a low chuckle.


    Skr was stunned and she immediately jumped out of his arms. He heard her call him a monster. Her crime this time is outrageous, who knows what punishment he¡¯d mete out to her.


    Louis looked down at the space beside him that has suddenly gone cold. He frowned at the emptiness and his aura suddenly became ferocious.


    The sweet and gentle Louis from earlier was gone.


    Earlier when Skr woke up, Louis already knew. He had woken up as soon as she stirred but he was stunned by how peaceful he felt. He hasn¡¯t slept so well for a long time. Hence he was surprised by the magic she wielded against his body.


    How much his body obeyed her, it never did to him.  He was able to enjoy the luxury of sleep which he had lost since his grandmother died but she ruined it by getting off without being told to.


    ¡°Foolish girl!¡±


    ¡°Goo¡­ Good¡­ Morning,¡± Skr muttered as Louis got out of bed.


    ¡°What is so good about the morning?¡± Louis hissed with irritation.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    First, she seduced him yesterday and when he tried to satisfy her, she denied him. Now, she made him sleep so well and when he wanted to bask in the peaceful ambiance she brought, she ruined it by running off.


    Louis marched to the bathroom and closed the door with a bang.


    Skr ced her hand on her chest and she heaved in relief. He didn¡¯t say anything about punishing her. Which means she¡¯s safe for now.


    The water in the bathroom soon stopped running; indicating Louis¡¯s return to the room. Skr jumped out of the room and went down the stairs.


    ¡°Good morning, madam,¡± Mrs. Alisa bowed as Skr arrived in the hallway.


    ¡°Good morning,¡± Skr replied with a smile.


    She looked around in search of her handmaids but they were nowhere to be seen.


    ¡°Looking for someone?¡± Mrs. Alisa could tell that she was searching for something or someone.


    ¡°Yes¡­ Uh¡­ Alice¡­.¡±  Skr didn¡¯t know why she was stuttering or why she didn¡¯t know what to say.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Mrs. Alisa couldn¡¯t understand what Skr was saying.


    She stared strangely at the madam and wondered why Skr mentioned her daughter.


    ¡°I mean¡­. where is Alice¡­.. and maybe Helen?¡±


    The question didn¡¯te out well but Skr could think of no other way to ask the girls. Besides, she doesn¡¯t need them at the moment, she only needed to escape from Louis and only the two girls could help her.


    ¡°Alice is somewhere around and Helen is on garden duties today. I¡¯ll ask someone to call them over.¡±


    ¡°Where is the way to the garden?¡± Skr looked upward.


    Though she was speaking with Mrs. Alisa, her concentration was up the stairs. She was worried that Louis would catch up with her.


    She couldn¡¯t imagine what would happen to her if he catches up with her. He was mad earlier when he went inside the bathroom.


    ¡°You want to go to the garden?¡± Mrs. Alisa was surprised to hear that.


    She looked from Skr to the door of the master¡¯s bedroom. Was she running from the master?


    Mrs. Alisa knew that things weren¡¯t right between the couple. She knew that the boss doesn¡¯t care about the man and seemed to have restricted her movement.


    Was she allowed to visit the garden?


    Mrs. Alisa was afraid of getting on the boss¡¯s nerves but she also feels sorry for the young madam. She deserves to live a good life. She is so young, yet, her life is so miserable.


    ¡°It¡¯s that way.¡± Mrs. Alisa had no choice but to show Skr the way.


    ¡°Thank You.¡± Skr scurried in the direction where Mrs. Alisa pointed.


    She gaped as soon as she saw the beautiful garden. Her jaw dropped and she turned around in circles to catch a full view of the garden.


    ¡°How could such a beautiful garden be around an iceberg like Louis? Skr couldn¡¯t resist the urge to touch the buds.


    She leaned forward and inhaled the flowers. They smelled good.


    ¡°How do you survive life with that monster?¡± Skr asked for the flowers. ¡°I mean he¡¯s so cold and cruel, don¡¯t you think?¡±


    She was talking to the flowers like they were humans.


    Since she has no one to tell her problems to; she can as well be friends with the flowers.


    ¡°It has to be one of the girls that care for you, right? Because Louis would rather take lives than he can rear one.¡±


    Skr picked the withered flowers with her hands and she sorted the other ones. She saw ake at the corner of the garden.


    She grabbed the garden bucket and filled it with some water then she watered the flowers and nted some seeds which she found lying idly in the garden store.


    She cleaned the ce and gave it a whole new look.


    She noticed a sunflower standing tall among the other flowers. She rushed forward and brushed her hand through it.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you so beautiful?¡±


    She spoke to the flowers like she was expecting them to respond to her. She already sumbed to fate; life with Louis.


    Even though shemitted no crime, she was subjected to death. After all, life with Louis was nothing less than being subjected to death.


    Skr looked around and smiled woefully. If she can¡¯t make friends or talk to anyone; she can at least befriend flowers.

 18. Name The Flowers

    ¡°Where is she?¡± Louis directed his question to no one but Mrs. Alisa knew he was asking about Skr.


    ¡°The garden.¡± Mrs. Alisa replied faintly.


    The look on Louis¡¯s face told her that he wasn¡¯t interested in where she was; he was only asking.


    ¡°Hm,¡± Louis turned away, preparing to leave but Mrs. Alisa called him back.


    ¡°Breakfast is served.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll pass.¡± Louis ambled out of the manor with his assistant immediately trudging after him. The guards also followed behind him as he hurried off.


    His expression wasplicated. He had a disappointment, anger, resentment, and disdain on his face as he walked out.


    His eyes looked around for Skr but he didn¡¯t see her. Louis shrugged the thought off his mind and prepared to go in the car when he suddenly noticed someone crawling underneath the tall flowers.


    He turned away from the car and his feet moved involuntarily like he was being controlled.  He went towards the garden and found Skr kneeling.


    Her hands were busy. She had dug up several holes with the small garden shovel. She had nted several flowers and was now working on another one.


    Louis looked her down and his lips curled up involuntarily.


    His eyes went to her bosom which was slightly exposed as she bent over. His eyes became glued to that spot. He couldn¡¯t look away and the only time he broke the contact was when her hand went over her face.


    She was struggling to take a strand of hair off her face so she brushed the back of her hand through her face.


    He found her face attractive.


    It felt like he was seeing her for the first time; something was different about her.


    ¡°I will take care of you all from now on, okay?¡± Skr catered to the flowers like they were kids.


    Louis stopped. His eyes darkened as he realized what he was doing.


    How could he abandon his work just to watch this silly girl?


    Louis straightened himself up. He buttoned his suit and walked back to the car.


    ¡°Keep a close watch on her.¡± He ordered before the car zoomed off.


    Skr looked up as soon as she heard the sound of the car. She stood up and watched him leave. She was relieved that he was finally gone.


    She was trying to hide from him but she found something worthwhile to do.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am!¡± Alice hurried towards Skr.


    ¡°Oh, Alice it¡¯s you.¡± Skr turned to see Alice.


    ¡°Yes Ma¡¯am, I¡¯ve been looking all over for you.¡± Alice smiled.


    ¡°No, I have searched everywhere for you. In fact, I came here in search of you but I¡¯m happy I met my new friends.¡±


    She noticed that Alice and Helen interacts less with hertely. Her heart was hurt by this because she hase to see them as her confidant but it seems like they were starting to avoid her.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry ma¡¯am, I was busy arranging your things,¡±  Alice exined.


    ¡°What things?¡± Skr wondered what Alice was talking about.


    ¡°Some dresses have been delivered for you along with essories.¡± Alice ryed.


    ¡°More dresses?¡± Skr didn¡¯t expect that Louis would get more clothes for her after all the dresses he got stuffed in her closet.


    ¡°Yes Ma¡¯am, the boss wants you to look good always.¡±


    ¡°I see.¡± Skr nodded halfheartedly.


    Was that what she wanted? To look good?


    No. Looking good wasn¡¯t part of her dreams at all. She wanted to live. Free and Happy but Louis got her stuck here in his manor.


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Alice looked around and gaped at the wonders Skr had performed in the garden in such a short time.


    ¡°Oh, my bad.¡± Skr tapped her head. ¡°I forgot to introduce you.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Alice looked around in amazement.


    She was wondering who Skr wanted to introduce her to.


    ¡°Meet J, Phillipa, and Sonya.¡± Skr pointed at the three tall flowers standing uniquely amongst the rest.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Alice¡¯s eyes widened. She couldn¡¯t believe that Skr would go as far as naming the flowers.


    ¡°You named the flowers?¡± She eyed unbelievably.


    ¡°Yeah, isn¡¯t that beautiful? Skr beamed with excitement.


    nting the flowers took her mindpletely off Louis and the trouble he brought.


    ¡°Yeah, it is.¡± Alice smiled in surprise.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am!¡± Skr turned at Helen¡¯s voice.


    She was d to have her handmaids with her at the moment. She was lonely before but now that she found her handmaids she¡¯s made some new friends, she can rx.


    ¡°Hey Helen,¡± Skr waved happily as Helen approached them.


    Alice on the other hand was busy checking out Skr¡¯s new friends. She had several thoughts in her mind as she watched the flowers.


    Was Skr crazy? Has the boss tortured her too much that she can¡¯t distinguish between a living and a non-living thing?


    ¡°Hello ma¡¯am,¡± Helen smiled as she joined them in the garden.


    ¡°Hi, Helen.¡± Skr waved again. She was happy to see Helen.


    The twodies havee to matter so much to her, after all, they were her. newly found friends and confidants; also the only people who truly care for her there at Louis¡¯s Manor.


    ¡°What are you doing out here?¡± Helen asked the same question as Alice.


    ¡°Come, meet my friends.¡± Skr again introduced Helen to the flowers.


    Helen exchanged a look of astonishment with Alice. The twodies couldn¡¯t believe their eyes and eyes but they couldn¡¯t doubt it.


    Skr was indeed speaking to flowers.


    ¡°Do you think they¡¯re beautiful?¡± Skr asked expectantly.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Thedies replied respectively.


    ¡°Which is prettier?¡± Skr looked from Helen to Alice then back at the flowers.


    She loved nting flowers but her parents never allows her. They say it does not work for ady of high ss. Hence, Skr was excited when the opportunity presented itself right here.


    This ce was supposed to be a prison but with this, she felt a lot better.


    ¡°Huh, I think it¡¯s that one!¡± Thedies pointed at different flowers at once.


    Skr could tell that they were not being honest with their responses. She knew from their responses that they were only trying to please her.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°What happened? Aren¡¯t they good?¡± Skr looked from eachdy to the flowers.


    She felt bad.


    The flowers were a result of her hard work and she was expecting them to appreciate it wholeheartedly not pretentiously.


    ¡°Huh Ma¡¯am, it¡¯s beautiful. Trust me.¡± Alice began.


    She knew that her response hurt Skr so she prepared herself for damage control.


    Skr smiled but the light in her face was dim. She was thrilled by the response.


    ¡°It¡¯s true ma¡¯am, you did a great job.¡± Helen supported but their responses weren¡¯t happily received.


    ¡°Let¡¯s just go back.¡± Skr turned away with dejection.


    She was sad that no one valued her hard work. Thedies felt bad for ruining Skr¡¯s joy but what could they do?


    They were surprised to see someone name a flower.


    Alice nudged Helen and they both med themselves for ruining Skr¡¯s mood only then did Helen remember that she was out there for a reason.


    She rushed forward to catch up with Skr.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am.¡±


    ¡°Hm?¡± Skr replied without looking at her. She had her head hung sadly as she sauntered back to the room.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am, your tutor is here.¡±

 19. Treasure In Hell

    ¡°Ma¡¯am, your tutor is here,¡± Helen announced.


    Skr halted and turned to meet Helen¡¯s gaze as if to confirm the news.


    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am,¡± Helen added. She understood what Skr¡¯s gaze meant.


    Confusion was written in bold letters all over her face. Dejection followed and her whole body seemed to be dipped in mncholy as she remembered Louis¡¯s words.


    ¡°I will get you a tutor to train on wifely duties.¡± Those words stung her ears and she badly wished there was a way she could unhear them.


    Louis got her a tutor? On wifely duties?


    Skr scoffed and went back into the manor with her back slouched.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am, this is Mr. Steven. He is your¡­¡±Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Alice stopped as she watched Skr walk past her without looking at the person she was introducing to her.


    They knew she was hurt But no one knew how much.


    Her heart was bleeding.


    As soon as Skr got into the manor she wanted to meet the said tutor but as soon as she saw that he was a man. Her head bowed in shame.


    How could Louis get a male tutor?


    What would she learn from him? The art of sex?


    Would he teach her how to treat her husband?


    She was worthless before Louis. He would stop at nothing to humiliate her.


    Skr walked straight to the bathroom and went inside the tub. She filled it to the brim and buried herself straight in.


    She wanted to hide or worse drown.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am!¡± Helen rushed to her and released the water. ¡°What are you doing ma¡¯am?¡±


    Skr remained in the tub. She bit her lips so hard that she tasted blood. The pain was nothingpared to what she felt at the moment.


    Helen didn¡¯t speak anymore. She helped Skr out of the tub and helped her shower. She washed her hair and scrubbed her body.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am, you have to stay strong,¡± Helen advised.


    She knew that Skr was unhappy because of her life but she also knew that she can¡¯t escape Louis not even if she dies. He won¡¯t spare her. So she can only advise her to stay strong. Hopefully, she might get her freedom when Louis gets tired of her.


    Skr stayed still. Her eyes were fixated on the ground. She heard Helen but she had nothing to say in response to her advice.


    She knew patience was the only thing she could use. With patience and perseverance, she can get her long-desired freedom when Louis decides to release her.


    But how long would that be? One year? Two years? Ten years?


    Can she hold on until then?


    Skr pursed her lips and blinked back her tears. She was working on those tears. She didn¡¯t want to cry at every little thing but her life was so hard that the tears feels sorry for her and consoles her only by rolling out.


    Her tears were a reassurance that she wasn¡¯t alone. She still has her tears with her.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be out in a jiffy.¡± Skr took the dress from Helen and put it on.


    She knew that Helen was right. Holding on strong was the best option for now. She cleaned her face and dressed her simply as she could.


    Skr applied light makeup to her face to conceal the tears. She smiled at the reflection in the mirror and she wrapped her hair in a messy bun.


    She returned to the room, looking entirely different. The sad woman from before waspletely gone.


    ¡°No matter how messy gets. No matter how shitty life bes and no matter how thorny the road ahead is, Life must go on.¡± Skr chanted those words repeatedly in her heart and she drew strength from them.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am, you look beautiful,¡± Helen said in appraisal.


    ¡°Thank You.¡± Skr smiled.


    ¡°I think you should have breakfast before you attend the ss.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Skr agreed.


    Speaking of sses. She was reminded of her school. She left school and suddenly became Louis¡¯s wife.


    Will she leave her studies just like that?


    No! Skr disagreed.


    She made a mental note to speak with Louis regarding school once he gets back.


    Skr noticed that her phone was lying in the bedside drawer. She smiled happily as she picked it up. This would give her somepany too.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, ma¡¯am,¡± Helen¡¯s voice cut her train of thought as she remembered that her tutor was waiting for her.


    Skr went back to the living room and she met the man. He stood up as soon as he saw Skr.


    He stared fixedly at her and his mouth hung open.


    ¡°Hi,¡± Skr waved.


    ¡°Hi,¡± The man put forth his hand and Skr took it.


    ¡°Pardon my manners earlier, I needed to ¡­¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to exin yourself to me.¡± The man cut her words short.


    ¡°O.. K¡­¡± Skr muttered with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m Skr by the way.¡±


    She introduced herself since she knew nothing else to say and the supposed tutor won¡¯t stop staring at her.


    ¡°And I¡¯m¡­ Uh¡­.¡± The man was flustered ¡°I¡¯m Steven. Your tutor on¡­.¡±


    ¡°Wifely duties.¡± Skrpleted his words.


    ¡°Etiquette.¡± Stephen rephrased.


    ¡°Oh..¡± Skr nodded.


    Etiquette was probably what they call it in this part of the world. Skr concluded in her heart.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am,e, have something to eat first,¡± Helen announced.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be right back¡­¡± Skr informed Steven.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Steven nodded.


    She looked down at the hand holding her back and her hand was tightly sped with Steven¡¯s


    ¡°I will just be back¡­¡± She repeated and Steven nodded.


    Skr tried to take her hand but Steven tightened his hold. She looked to Helen for help.


    ¡°Ehem¡­.¡± Helen cleared her throat. ¡°She can leave only when you let go of her hand.¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­ Uhm¡­ Sorry¡­ I¡­. Uh¡­ You may leave.¡± Steven took his hand but felt bad at the sudden loneliness.


    To avoid working in his family conglomerate like the rest of his brothers, Steven Cruise, became a tutor. He hid his identity as the son of the Mafia lord, Leonard Cruise.


    No one knew the youngest son of the Cruise family so it was easier to maneuver his way around the city without being recognized. He took up the job to be Skr¡¯s tutor as thest resort since his father threatened to bring him back since he presently had no student to train.


    Who would have thought that he¡¯d be so lucky on the first day?


    He found a treasure in Louis¡¯s hell.


    Who would have thought that an iceberg like Louis would have an angel hidden in his house?


    Steven¡¯s eyes didn¡¯t leave Skr the entire time and as soon as she invited him for a meal. He happily epted the offer.


    ¡°Are you allergic to any of these?¡± Skr asked as soon as they sat at the dining table. She pointed at the food on the table as she spoke.


    Steven remained quiet. He was trying to hide his excitement at being so close to her. He was flustered and jumpy. It was the first time he¡¯s ever felt that way.


    Seeing his expression, Skr thought he was reluctant; he probably doesn¡¯t like the food on the table, so she asked innocently.


    ¡°What would like to eat?¡±


    Steven raised his head to look directly into her eyes as he said, ¡°You.¡±

 20. Tire Him Out

    ¡°You.¡±


    His answer was simple, short, precise, and honest.


    She was all he could think about at the moment. It was like magic how she managed to spread all over him like a disease.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr was stunned by his response.


    She gulped as she watched the expression on his face he looks serious. He wasn¡¯t kidding.


    ¡°Anything¡­ YOU¡­.. Serve.¡± Steven replied. He enunciated you to hide the response he gave at first.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Skr rxed at his response.


    She was overthinking. Why would he say he wanted to eat her up She isn¡¯t some kind of food now, is she?


    Skr signaled Helen and the food was served. The table fell to silence as they both ate.


    Steven would often steal nces at Skr. She was perfect in all aspects.


    No ws at all!


    Why would Louis think she needs a tutor?


    ¡°Ah! It¡¯s my lucky day!¡±  Steven felt happy in his heart.


    He couldn¡¯t think of having someone else as her tutor.


    As soon as the meal was over, Skr stood up and went towards the living room. Steven also followed immediately.


    ¡°Shall we begin?¡± Skr asked.


    ¡°Of Course!¡± Steven snapped.


    He was almost caught staring at his supposed student. He tried to gather his thoughts and focus on the task at hand.


    ¡°What do I have to learn first?¡± Skr adjusted her chair and went closer to Steven.


    Steven was losing it slowly. He was distracted by her fragrance. Her strawberry scent blew his mind off. He couldn¡¯t concentrate.


    ¡°Wifely duties or Etiquette?¡± Skr asked for rification.


    ¡°Wifely duties!¡± Steven replied immediately.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Skr shrugged.


    Since Louis wanted her to learn then learn she will.


    ¡°The first thing to learn about being a good wife is to how to keep your man.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr was confused.


    Why would she need to keep her man?


    ¡°Men are like toys and need to be handled with care or they might fall into someone else¡¯s hands,¡± Steven replied as if he could read the question in her mind.


    Skr nodded as she listened on. She had no reason to want to keep Louis. He can get snatched away for all she cares. He doesn¡¯t belong to her In the first ce.


    ¡°Can you hear me?¡±Steven snapped his fingers before her as he noticed that she was spacing out.


    ¡°Yes¡­ Yes¡­¡± Skr snapped out of her reverie.


    ¡°Good. So tell me what do you think can be done to keep your man?¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr was speechless.


    She knew nothing about men and rtionships. How would she know the answer to that?


    ¡°Don¡¯t know?¡± Steven guessed from her clueless expression.


    ¡°Hmhmm.¡± Skr shook her head.


    ¡°Show love.¡± Steven¡¯s voice sounded more like a whisper.


    It seems as if he was also learning from what he was teaching her.


    ¡°How?¡±


    ¡°Be the shoulder that your partner can lean on. After being weary from the troubles from the outside, he wants to return home to the warm embrace of his woman.¡±


    Skr bit her lips as she tried to imagine Louis in her embrace.


    No way! Her mind screamed for her.


    ¡°Why not? Steven asked.


    ¡°Did I say that out loud?¡± Skr wondered how he was able to know what she has in mind.


    ¡°No,¡± Steven shook his head. ¡°Your face gave you away.¡±


    ¡°Oh,¡± Skr pursed her lips.


    So he knew what is in her mind by looking at her face.


    ¡°So¡­¡± Steven returned to the subject.


    He became interested in the rtionship that Skr shared with Louis. He wanted to know all there is to know about them.


    ¡°¡­. Tell me why you can¡¯t bring your husband in your embrace.¡±


    Husband? The word sounded foreign to her. She knew that she was Louis¡¯s wife but was Louis her husband?


    The answer is no.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    She never thought of him as her husband and she never will. So how is it possible to bring him into her embrace when she can¡¯t even ept him?


    ¡°It¡¯s no¡­..¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Steven nodded.


    He knew that he won¡¯t get the answer he sought right away but he was willing to try again.


    ¡°Then tell me did you two have an arranged or love marriage?¡±


    Skr looked down as she remembered the circumstance behind her marriage to Louis. Her marriage to Louis was neither love nor an arranged marriage. Instead, it is a contract marriage.


    But can she say that to Steven?


    No, she couldn¡¯t shred herself off thest thread of honor she had left.


    Judging from her reluctance, Steven could tell that they didn¡¯t have a love marriage. He danced in his heart at the discovery.


    ¡°So which one is it?¡± He pressed. He wanted to hear her say it.


    ¡°A.. Arranged..¡± Skr lied.


    She couldn¡¯t bring herself to say the truth. After all, the man was still her father. She couldn¡¯t dishonor him by telling everyone that he sacrificed her to save the White Corporation.


    ¡°I see¡­¡± Steven nodded knowingly. ¡°Sometimesmunication is difficult in an arranged marriage but you have to work something out so you don¡¯t tire your husband out.¡±


    Yes! That¡¯s the word!


    Tire him out!


    That¡¯s all she has to do to attain her freedom.


    Skr smiled determinedly. She already got the keyword and now she only has to work towards achieving that and it seems like ack ofmunication could be a key factor to make that happen.


    ¡°This ss is more helpful than I imagined.¡± Skrughed in her heart.


    She was busy in her world. She didn¡¯t hear all Steven said afterward.


    ¡°So¡­ you have to try it out.¡±  Steven continued.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr was lost. She didn¡¯t hear all he said before.


    Steven could read her face and he knew that she was lost.


    ¡°You weren¡¯t listening?¡±


    Skr bit her lips and looked down. Her longshes fluttered as she looked away. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    Steven gulped at the effect she had on him. How could she steal his breath away in such a short time?


    ¡°Alright.¡± He shrugged. ¡°I was talking about the techniques to wee your husband home.¡±


    ¡°Oh,¡± Skr pursed her lips.


    ¡°All you have to do is wear a beautiful smile and make him feel special. Run to him. Hug him. Kiss him. Ask how his day was and show him how much you missed him.¡±


    ¡°Really?!¡± Skr¡¯s eyes widened.


    Would she be able to do all of that?


    Never!


    She¡¯d rather do those things in the opposite. He¡¯d hate her then and he¡¯ll send her away.


    ¡°That¡¯s interesting.¡± Skr smiled as she thought of her n.


    ¡°Yeah right.¡± Steven agreed. He was picturing himself as her husband and she¡¯ll practice all she¡¯s learnt on him.


    ¡°If you do these then your husband will be glued to you.¡± Steven was immediately reminded of the tale of the lovebirds.


    He looked at her smiling face and his heart tightened. He wished she could continue smiling this way.


    Her smile was the most beautiful thing he¡¯s ever seen.


    ¡°You have a beautiful smile.¡± Steven couldn¡¯t hold back frommenting. ¡°Has anyone ever told you?¡±


    Skr¡¯s smile widened and she looked down. Steven raised her chin and locked his gaze with her.


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t hide your smile. It¡¯s beautiful.¡± Steven repeated.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Skr tried to look away but Steven got carried and cupped her cheek.


    He wanted to keep staring at her. Her pearly white teeth were the best he¡¯s ever seen. They looked like they were carved from the moon. She was just too beautiful.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Skr asked.


    This wasn¡¯t part of the ss, was it? Skr couldn¡¯t understand why he keeps staring at her but she found him pleasant.


    At least he made herugh.


    He made her feel like she doesn¡¯t worth less than anyone.


    Unbeknownst to these two Louis already returned to the manor. He couldn¡¯t stay put in the office. He was itching to go back home.


    For some reason he was restless. So he decided to return home earlier than usual. However, the scene before him was outrageous.


    His aura became murderous. His eyes became frosty and the room suddenly felt cold. From his point of view, it seemed like Steven was kissing Skr but as he got closer he saw that he wasn¡¯t.


    Louis was sure that Steven would kiss her if he didn¡¯t stop him.


    He was enraged.


    He couldn¡¯t stand it.


    He wanted to pull them apart but he restrained himself. He shouldn¡¯t lose control. Instead, he crossed his arms to hide his itchy hands.


    ¡°What are you two doing?¡±

 21. Never Shares His Things

    ¡°What are you two doing?¡±


    Skr flinched at Louis¡¯s icy voice. She jumped andnded in Steven¡¯s arms.


    ¡°Easy,¡± Steven held her and slowly stood up to wee Louis.


    ¡°Wee Sir,¡± Steven bowed.


    Louis didn¡¯t respond to Steven¡¯s greetings. His eyes were fixated on Steven¡¯s hands that were around Skr¡¯s waist.


    ¡°We¡­ Wel¡­ Wee.¡± Skr shuddered as Louis¡¯s icy gazended on her. The temperature in the room dropped as Louis arrived and it felt as if they¡¯d suddenly been transported to Antarctica.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t respond to my question. I said what were you two doing?¡± Louis asked through gritted teeth.


    He was emitting a deadly Aura as he spoke and Skr knew that his question was directed at her.


    ¡°Le¡­ Learning. Steven was teaching me how¡­.¡±


    ¡°With his lips?¡± Louis cut through her words.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr wondered what he meant by that. She looked from Steven to Louis and back to herself and then she noticed Steven¡¯s hand on her waist.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Louis stared intently at the hand around her waist. His fist tightened such that it made a cracking sound. Skr noticed where he was looking and only then did she realize why it was so cold in the room.


    It was Louis¡¯s frosty aura.


    Skr moved away from Steven; making his hand fall off her waist. Steven frowned from the emptiness. He raised his head and smiled at Louis who was staring daggers at him.


    ¡°You¡¯re done here right?¡± Louis¡¯s cold voice rang; snapping Steven out of his reverie.


    ¡°Yes, I was just about to leave.¡± Steven knew Louis was unhappy and was sending him off. He wanted to stay back but he had no reason to.


    He picked up his stuff and moved begrudgingly towards the door. ¡°I¡¯ll see you again tomorrow ma¡¯am Skr.¡± Steven bowed slightly before moving out.


    He felt like pping Louis for returning so soon.


    ¡°Come with me!¡± Louis grabbed Skr and pulled her towards the stairs. He opened the door to their room and pulled her in.


    ¡°Louis ¡­.. You¡¯re¡­ hurting¡­.. me.¡± Skr tried to free her hand from his tight grip but Louis wouldn¡¯t budge.


    He took his jacket off and unknot his tie. He fling his shoes in different directions and turned to Skr who immediately moved backward as Louis turned to her.


    His eyes were dim.


    He was angry and jealous. He didn¡¯t know why but he was enraged when he saw the position earlier. He wanted to kill that Steven.


    Steven was lucky that he didn¡¯t do anything to Skr at that moment or he would have never left the manor with his head.


    However, his hand touched Skr¡¯s waist.


    She belong to him yet was touched by another man?


    Louis¡¯s eyes darkened at the thought. He took two steps forward and Skr¡¯s back hit the wall.


    He blocked her on both sides with his hand on the wall as he stared deeply at her. Louis raised his hand and Skr closed her eyes tightly; afraid that Louis would hit her.


    He didn¡¯t.


    Instead, his handnded on her cheek and he caressed her cheek with his index.


    ¡°You crave to be touched?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Skr shook her head. She couldn¡¯t dare open her eyes. She pursed her lips and tightened her grip on her dress as if that would save her from Louis.


    ¡°Let me help you.¡± The scene from earlier reyed in Louis¡¯s mind.


    ¡°No¡­.¡±


    Louis leaned closer and kissed her cheek. His warm lips slowly moved towards her neck as he ced soft kisses on her nape.


    ¡°No¡­ please¡­ Louis¡­.¡± Skr¡¯s grip tightened on her dress. She was almost ripping it. That was onlyfort at the moment.


    Louis sighed and stepped away from her. His eyes were clouded with lust. He stared at her like he would swallow her at any moment.


    Skr huffed a sigh as he stepped away. She released her grip but didn¡¯t let go of her hold on the dress. Before she could bask in the joy of being free, she heard Louis¡¯s frosty voice again.


    ¡°Strip!¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr¡¯s eyes widened. She stepped back involuntarily as if she would enter the wall.


    ¡°I won¡¯t say it again.¡± Louis hissed.


    He is determined to punish her today. He has warned her never to keep close contact with any man, even if that man is her brother.


    ¡°Louis, please¡­¡± Skr pleaded. She could tell from his aura and speech that he was mad at her but she didn¡¯t understand what she has done wrong this time.


    Could it be because of what she said in the morning?


    ¡°Strip now!¡±


    ¡°No .. Louis¡­ please.¡±  Skr shook her head and reflexively covered her body with her hand.


    She wasn¡¯t ready to imagine what he wanted to do to her.


    ¡°Strip now!¡± In one long stride, Louis was standing before her, and before she could blink her dress was flying across the room in pieces.


    Louis stripped her naked.


    Skr closed her eyes and pursed her lips as tears rained down her cheek. She would never get used to being stripped naked and made to stand before Louis.


    Louis grabbed her waist and pulled her to him in one swift movement. He pinched her butt and smirked as he felt a movement within him. Before Skr could realize what was happening, her pant was also out.


    ¡°Louis ¡­¡±


    ¡°Shh¡­..¡± Louis hushed her.


    He was busy and wouldn¡¯t like to be disturbed by her silly pleas.


    Skr pursed her lips immediately and swallowed the rest of the plea.


    ¡°Open your mouth., Louis ordered.


    Skr did the opposite. Louis smirked and pinched her butt so hard that she gasped. He took advantage of this and kissed her.


    He explored her mouth and couldn¡¯t help but deepen the kiss as he tasted her sweet tongue. Louis hissed with pleasure.


    His mind was sending a current across his whole body and his lower region was reacting strangely to it.


    He pinned her to the wall and lifted herp. ¡°Hop on.¡± He ordered.


    His voice was low and hoarse.


    Skr obeyed and immediately hopped on him. She wouldn¡¯t want to be punished for disobedience.


    Louis nodded proudly at her obedience. His fingers moved slowly from herp to her mid-thigh and he slid it straight into her.


    ¡°Louis¡­.¡± Skr jumped.


    Louis pinned her tightly to the wall; leaving no room for escape. He took advantage of her open mouth and kissed her again.


    He captured her lips and sent her words of protest to her throat. She struggled but his hold only tightened. There was no room for escape.


    Louis slid his finger into her and thrust swiftly. ¡°This is for disobeying me.¡± His breath caressed Skr¡¯s face as he whispered.


    ¡°And this is for letting someone else touch you., Louis added two fingers into her without warning.


    Skr screamed at the sudden pain but Louis held her still. ¡°You belong only to me and¡­. Louis Anderson never share my things.¡±

 22. Can鈥檛 Escape

    ¡°You belong only to me and¡­ I Louis Anderson never share my things.¡±


    Skr gasped as his fingers tortured her. She squirmed as Louis ced another rough kiss on her lips. He kissed her so hard until the strong smell of iron covered his nose. He let go of her lips and smirked at his creation.


    Skr pulled her lips in as she tasted blood. She felt like killing Louis. He tortures her for just anything.


    He seems to always want to punish her even for the littlest mistake.


    ¡°Do you understand that?¡± Louis¡¯s hoarse voice thundered inside her ear.


    Skr pursed her lips and nodded. Louis grunted with dissatisfaction. He clipped her jaw with his hand and raised her chin so that he could see her face.


    ¡°Hm,¡± Skr nodded frantically.


    ¡°Say it!¡± Louis¡¯s grip tightened on her jaw.


    ¡°Ye¡­ Yes..¡± Skr stuttered a response. She had no choice but to cooperate so Louis could refrain from finger-f*cking her.


    ¡°Good,¡± Louis squeezed hard on her butt and his fingers went deep inside her. She wanted to cry out in pain but she was stunned by the sound she made.


    Louis groaned at the sound of her moan. He was pleased. He got her to moan.


    Skr bit her lips to stop her from making more of that sound. She couldn¡¯t believe that she sounded slutty earlier.


    Louis wanted so badly to stop but he couldn¡¯t. Her inside was warm; pulling him to her. He wanted a taste of her at this moment. His d*ck was fully erected and ready for the job at hand.


    Skr was alerted as soon as Louis brought her down. He brushed his groin hard against her entrance and she hissed from the impact.


    The feeling was strange.


    Skr had never felt anything like it.


    She was amazed. For some reason, she wanted him to do it again.


    ¡°Skr, I want to im you now.¡±  Louis groaned.


    He moved away from the wall and went towards the bed. He dumped her on the bed and towered above her.


    It became clear to Skr what he was about to do. Her eyes shot open and she sat up immediately.


    She tried to cover herself with her hand but Louis¡¯s face already turned dark. All he could see were her fully erect nipple and how pink her vagina was


    He felt pleased with her warm inside and he licked his finger to taste her juice. Louis moaned at her delicious juice and became determined.


    There is no turning back now, he has to taste her today. Louis was determined so without thinking, he tore off his clothes and jumped on her like a hungry beast.


    Skr jumped and crawled out of bed.


    Louis grabbed her leg and caught her before she could escape.


    ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going?


    ¡°Please¡­ please don¡¯t do this¡­.. You don¡¯t like me, right? I¡¯m disgusting, you don¡¯t want to touch a filth like me.¡± Skr demeans herself to escape him.


    Louis¡¯s face darkened to hear her say that. ¡°Filthy or not, let me the judge of that.¡± Louis hissed as he continued taking out the rest of his clothes.


    He was acting beastly and that scared Skr to the bones.


    ¡°Please, don¡¯t do it,¡± Skr begged and struggled to leave the bed.


    ¡°What is there to be so afraid of? Louis was getting frustrated.


    He wanted to have her and it¡¯s as simple as that.


    Why does she have to make everything difficult? Louis pulled a leg back and in one swift movement, he already dragged her back to him.


    ¡°You can¡¯t escape me, no matter how hard you try.¡±


    Skr pursed her lips as tears rolled down her cheek. She could only plead with him, she had no power to fight nor was she strong enough to push him off her.


    ¡°Louis, please, don¡¯t do this.¡±


    ¡°Why not? Louis asked as he took his shirt off. ¡°You are my wife. You belong to me and I can do anything I want with you. Besides weren¡¯t you taught by your parents that this is one of your duties as a wife?


    At the mention of her parents, Skr cringed backward. She hasn¡¯t thought about them in a while. She didn¡¯t want to me them but could she help it?


    It¡¯s their fault that she is in this hellhole.


    ¡°Weren¡¯t you taught all of that by your tutor, earlier?


    Skyler was speechless. She knew that this was one of her duty but shouldn¡¯t that happen out of her will?


    Everything has been snatched from her.


    Her life. Her freedom and her free will. Her virginity was all she has left. It was her honor and she wasn¡¯t ready to lose it.


    She won¡¯t lose her honor and virginity to a monster like Louis.


    ¡°Louis please¡­¡± Skr pleaded. ¡°I¡¯m not ready, please Louis.¡±


    Louis wasn¡¯t himself at the moment. His eyes were clouded by lust and his thinking was reced with passion. He only wanted sex at the moment.


    He wanted to please himself with Skr¡¯s body.


    There is no harm done, is there? She is his wife after all, and they are newlyweds. This is normal between a newly wedded couple and Nothing can stop him now.


    Louis moved forward and open her legs wide enough for him to see her inside.


    Skr tried to cover her nudity. She was struggling to close herp so Louis wouldn¡¯t see.


    ¡°You want it rough, huh? Then I¡¯ll give it to you rough.¡± Louis hissed and straightened himself. In fact, I like it rough.


    His voice sounded cold and lustful.


    Louis stood up and went towards the closet. He got out his belts and tied her up.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    He tied her legs wide apart; making sure to separate her legs wide enough for him to see.


    As soon as the obstacles were out of the way Louis¡¯s hand brushed her warm vagina and he groaned. She is warm.


    Exactly what he needed for his cold body and personality.


    Louis opened her Clit and he went mad seeing her pink p*ssy.  He leaned forward and lick the crying pussy.


    Skr closed her eyes and shook her head frantically.


    ¡°Please, Louis¡­ No¡­ please¡­.¡± She screamed out loud.


    Louis was sure that everyone in the house could would her voice even though his room was soundproofed.


    Why is she screaming at the top of her voice?


    Everydy would be proud and happy to have him touch them but she was putting up such a tough front?


    She was being so stubborn despite being his wife. Louis hissed in frustration. Since you won¡¯t cooperate. Then don¡¯t me me for this.¡±


    As soon as he said that, Louis picked up a towel and dumped it straight into Skr¡¯s mouth. Her sounds became muffled as she tried to protest against the injustice done to her body but it all fell on deaf ears.


    Louis was standing before her naked and as much as she wanted to admire his physique. She couldn¡¯t do that at the moment.


    She watch him stand so tall and his terrifyingly strong body scared the shit out of her.


    Louis¡¯s lustful gazended and lingered on her for a while as he checked her out to his satisfaction.


    He was especially staring at her vagina.


    Skr wanted to p but her hand was tightly tied.


    Louis¡¯s finger went straight in and Skyler could swear that she felt him right underneath her abdomen.


    Louis smirked and hissed as he crawled to the bed. He towered above her and this time Skr knew there was no escape for her.


    Louis pped her vagina hard and tears trickle down the corners of Skr¡¯s eyes.


    This is it!


    She is finally losing her treasure.


    But why does it have to be a monster like Louis?


    He¡¯s rubbed her off everything she held precious. Her life, freedom, happiness, and now honor.


    He will take her virginity.


    Louis stood up as he stroked his already erected dick. Skr¡¯s eyes widened as she saw his big phallus.


    She was amazed by the length and size of his dick that she almost fainted just by staring at it. What will happen if that thing goes inside of her?


    Skr heard Louisugh for the first time as he watched her awestruck expression.


    ¡°It¡¯s all your¡¯s baby,¡± He muttered as he crawled towards her.


    He jammed her entrance with his dick; making Skr gasp in fear.


    Her eyes were closed and she bit her lips as she anticipated theing pain.


    Suddenly there was no movement.


    She felt no pain at all. So she immediately opened her eyes and wondered what had happened.


    She badly hoped that rapture hade and she has been saved by an angel but she was surprised to find herself still lying on the bed.


    She could feel Louis at her entrance but he wasn¡¯t moving in.


    His dagger re was directed to the door and it felt like he was about to kill someone. Louis was about to continue but another knock came at the door, making him grunt.


    Skr pitied whoever was at the door because she knew that Louis would definitely have them punished.


    ¡°Master, Miss Madison is here to see you.¡±

 23. Lucky Man

    ¡°What is it?¡± Louis¡¯s frosty voice rang from the stairway as he descended the stairs.


    He was emitting a deadly Aura as he stepped down. His eyes were bloody and his voice was Icy.


    Irritation was evident in his tone.


    ¡°I¡¯m here to see you, Lou,¡± Madison smiled as she saw Louis.


    She used the endearment on purpose because it was her way of calming him down in the past. Louis would do her bidding as soon as she calls him that.


    From the moment he stepped out of the room, She could feel his rage so she decided to calm him down but surprisingly it didn¡¯t work.


    ¡°Why?¡± He snapped.


    ¡°Do I need a reason to meet my fiance?¡± Louis looked at the finger waving at him and he saw the 24carat diamond ring sitting beautifully on Madison¡¯s finger.


    He knew that ring too well because he had given her the day he proposed to her and asked her to marry him.


    That day Louis felt like he had won the whole world when she said yes to his proposal. He was on top of the world and nothing else mattered to him but he fell as high as he flew on the day he found her in bed with another man.


    Louis shut his eyes tightly as the images from that night reyed in his mind.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ~~~~~~~~~


    That day he had to Madison that he was leaving the country for some business meetings in France. However, on his way to the airport after work that day, he felt uneasy.


    He couldn¡¯t leave her behind. He has grown so attached to her that he didn¡¯t want to part with her. Louis asked the driver to go back home so he¡¯d go to Madison.


    He wanted to surprise her but got surprised instead by the scene he saw.


    Right there before was Madison in his house, on his bed with another man banging her badly.


    Louis couldn¡¯t move his feet as he watched them. The people involved were carried away that they didn¡¯t even notice him in the room. Louis took his seat and watch them enjoy each other to their satisfaction.


    He sat with his legs crossed and his eyes fixed on the treacherous couple on his bed. He didn¡¯t blink for a second. He watched everything they did without looking away for a second.


    At that Louis wanted to know if he wascking in the way he f*cked her but there was nothing new to learn.


    It was all the same shit.


    Louis¡¯s interest in the word sex died that day all that was left was satisfaction. Whenever he touches ady it¡¯s just for his sexual needs.


    He hated women from that moment on and he vowed never to love any woman again.


    After spending hours watching them, Louis didn¡¯t budge. He watched them change styles and positions but his evil mind didn¡¯t let him stop them.


    Who was he to ruin their fun?


    After watching for God knows how long. They climaxed and Madison rolled off and fell t on the bed.


    She got out of bed to go take a bath when she noticed Louis. Her mouth hung open with disbelief and she stepped back as she saw Louis sitting proudly on the couch.


    His long legs werezily crossed and he seemed unmoved by whatever just transpired.


    ¡°Louis? Madison called with disbelief. She was surprised to see him look so calm after catching her bed with someone else.


    ¡°I see you were having fun, no?¡± Louis clenched his fist as he tried to stay calm.


    Heaven knows how much fury was burning in him at that moment but strangely, he wasn¡¯t mad at all.


    He was disappointed.


    ¡°I can exin.¡± Madison started but Louis waved his hand in dismissal.


    ¡°Don¡¯t bother. I saw and heard it all.¡± Louis was referring to the pping of their flesh against each other as they had sex.


    He raised Madison¡¯s chin and smiled. ¡°Good wasn¡¯t it?¡±


    His smile was eerie and Madison felt the hair on her body rise.


    ¡°Louis¡­ I¡­¡±


    Madison was frightened. She was afraid of this quiet Louis.


    If he was mad or aggressive, then she would have handled him in the best way she knew of. But this Silent man before her was someone she never met before.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. I had fun watching too.¡± Louis sat straight and his domineering aura sent chills through everything around.


    Madison shivered at his icy aura.


    ¡°Louis please it¡¯s you I love.¡± Madison had no justification for what happened but she could at least tell him what was in her heart.


    ¡°I know.¡± Louis smiled.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Madison was stunned by his response.


    Did he know?


    What does he mean by that?


    ¡°How much you love me, I know it all,¡± Louis whispered as he got up from the couch. He stood so tall that the other man cringed from his stature.


    Louis button his suit and went out of the room. Madison picked a night dress and went after him but Louis didn¡¯t look back. He got into his car and left for France that night.


    Madison was so ashamed that she couldn¡¯t face Louis anymore. She wanted to give him some time to heal. Besides, she also needed time to reflect on herself for all she did. So she decided to pursue her career in America.


    Louis returned after three months to the news of Madison¡¯s sudden visit abroad. At that time it didn¡¯t matter if she went to Space, Louis didn¡¯t want to see her.


    She disgusts him.


    Her image before Louis crumbled along with the prestige of other women too. Louis hated them all.


    They are useful only for sex!


    With this in mind, Louis stayed away from women but only touches one when his body demands it.


    Such an unfaithful bitch


    Louis gnashed his teeth at the memory. He was irritated at Madison for the memory she awoke in him. The anger and rage he has buried in him resurfaced.


    ~~~~~~~~~~


    ¡°That looks good on you.¡± Louis pretended as if he didn¡¯t recognize the ring. ¡°Who is the lucky man?¡±


    Madison was stunned by his response. She turned abruptly to look at him but Louis turned away.


    His head was a mess.


    The memories he remembered stirred up a different emotion in him and this triggered something awful in him as he remembered how close Steven was to kissing Skr earlier.


    Would history repeat itself?


    Louis was pissed at the thought. He couldn¡¯t stand it.


    Madison got away with it back then because she was his Fiancee but Skr is his wife and he won¡¯t tolerate that.


    She is his wife and nobody snatches what belongs to him!

 24. Body Language

    ¡°Come on, Lou, what do you mean by that?¡± Madisonughed off the embarrassment she felt at Louis¡¯s question.


    ¡°The ring should be given by someone, right? You didn¡¯t just buy it, did you?¡± Louis walked away from her as he spoke.


    He went to the receiving room and took a seat on the big couch.


    ¡°Louis, you¡¯re kidding right?¡± Madison went closer to Louis so he could see the ring properly.


    Louis smirked at this action of hers. He clearly remembered the ring. After all, he purchased the ring.


    ¡°I¡¯m not.¡±


    His response was short but those two words had knives in them. Those words stabbed Madison¡¯s heart so badly.


    She thought he had forgiven her.


    She thought he was ready to ept her again. Judging from how well he spoke to her at the party, she thought she could go back to him.


    She regretted her actions. For cheating on him. For bringing a stranger into their home. That night was a mistake she wished she could undo.


    ~~~~~~~~


    Those years ago when Louis left for the meeting in France. She missed him so much. The house wasn¡¯t the same without him so she decided to go clubbing.


    She met that stranger at the club that night. She didn¡¯t drive to the club so that people wouldn¡¯t recognize her but she had no car to go home in and she was partially drunk.


    The man offered to take her home and she agreed but how she got in bed with him was something she couldn¡¯t remember.


    Seeing Louis in the room that night and the calmness he had despite witnessing such an outrageous scene. She knew they could never go back to the way they were. And the way he looked at her¡­


    That look was something she could never forget. She felt dirty and disgraceful under his gaze.


    Every attempt to apologize fell on deaf ears and Louis left the house for France. He didn¡¯t return home even though his business over there was done.


    He spent three months in France without calling or texting her. He never answered or returned her calls so this confirmed her doubt.


    Madison knew that Louis now hated her.


    She couldn¡¯t stand his hatred so she decided to stay away too. She kept tab of Louis¡¯s life daily so she knew when he returned to Phdelphia


    She came back as soon she discovered that he was back in town. She knew that he would attend that party and that was why she attended it too.


    She was afraid of how Louis would behave with her but her heart was calmed when Louis didn¡¯t embarrass her. Instead, he behaved sweetly with her.


    Her hope was restored and she saw the ray of reigniting her love for Louis but with his cold word, s it is clear that he is still mad at her.


    ~~~~~~~~


    ¡°Louis, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Madison sat close to Louis. ¡°I know you¡¯re still mad at me but please can you just forgive me.¡±


    ¡°Forgiveness?¡± Louis scoffed. ¡°I already did that before.¡±


    That¡¯s right.


    If Louis hadn¡¯t forgiven Madison back then, he could have ruined her career. He could have made life difficult for her.


    He could have done something to her regardless of her father¡¯s position. But he did none of that which meant that he forgave her right?


    ¡°Louis, please. I love you.¡± Madison grabbed Louis¡¯s shoulders.


    ¡°Love?¡± Louis scoffed again. ¡°I don¡¯t know what that means.¡±


    Louis hates that word so much that he wished the word could be erased from the dictionary.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Louis, please. Take me back.¡± Madison came forward and sat before him.


    ¡°I¡¯m not interested.¡±


    Madison¡¯s eyes sting with tears at his words. She thought they could get back together. But his ego was getting in the way.


    She followed every news that was rted to Louis in the past years and she knew that Louis had no girlfriend after her. The other women were just for satisfaction and were never seen with him for more than twenty-four hours.


    He still loved her.


    She was sure of it but why won¡¯t he just ept it?


    Why is he pushing her away?


    ¡°Louis, look in my eyes and tell me you don¡¯t love me.¡± Madison cupped his cheek.


    Louis stared down at her and smirked. He couldn¡¯t look into her eyes.


    It wasn¡¯t because he still loves her but because he didn¡¯t want to taint his eyes. He feels disgusted by the sight of her.


    Back at the party, Louis let her go close to him on purpose. He wanted to see if his body would still react to her the way it does in the past.


    His body didn¡¯t react and Louis became sure that he was totally over her.


    It wasn¡¯t his intention to help Madison¡¯s delusions.


    ¡°I can say that without looking in your eyes.¡± With that Louis looked down at her as he whispered the most painful word Madison has ever heard.


    ¡°I don¡¯t love you, Maddie.¡±


    The way he said her name. The endearment he always called her. ¡®Maddie.¡¯


    The way he said that made her heart skip a beat as she remembered how much he loved to call her Maddie.


    Madison¡¯s heart skips a beat every time he called her with his baritone voice. She liked how pleasant it feels to hear him say her name with so much love and even though he said that name right now intending to hurt her, it didn¡¯t.


    It gave her joy instead.


    She knew now that Louis still has a soft spot for her and she will work very hard to reveal that part of him and also help him ept it.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Louis smirked seeing her reaction to the endearment he called her. He knew she was hurt and that was his intention.


    To hurt her.


    He wanted to hurt her so badly as she did to him all those years and now that the opportunity presented itself, he won¡¯t let it go to waste.


    ¡°You don¡¯t mean that, Lou,¡± Madison moved closer to Louis; more like she wanted to merge with him.


    She squatted before him and slowly squeezed his dick. Louis¡¯s eyes widened. He wasn¡¯t expecting her to touch him.


    Madison felt his body stiffen and she smiled. She thought his body still reacted to her touch as it did in the past.


    Louis clenched his fist and decided not to move he wanted her to realize that he was over her and he believed that she¡¯ll see that from his body¡¯s response to her.


    Louis stayed still and let Madison work her hands on him.


    Madison slowly got up and kissed Louis¡¯s lips. His lips remained tight even though she yed with his earlobe which was his weak spot as far as she could remember.


    Madison was stunned but decided to keep going. She moved to unbutton his shirt and then she yed with his nipple; biting slowly on his brown nipple.


    Louis was unfazed. He wasn¡¯t affected by all she was doing at all. He was very much unlike before when he¡¯d instantly be aroused as soon as her hand touches him.


    Madison wasn¡¯t ready to ept defeat. It was now or never. She stood up and took off her clothes. Exposing her white and spotless skin.


    Her big boobs were bigger than Skr¡¯s but Skr¡¯s breasts had a better round shape than hers. Louis found himselfparing Madison to Skr.


    Madison took his hand and ced it on her breast and she helped him squeeze the buds but still got no reaction.


    She kissed his chest down and she moved to straddle him. She grinds her butt against his groin so hard but nothing happened. She took Louis¡¯s hand and ced it on her butt but Louis was unmoved.


    ¡°Not bouncy.¡± Louis found himselfparing Madison¡¯s butt to Skr¡¯s. He liked the feel of her butt against his hand and how it bounces once he touched it.


    At the thought of Skr, Louis¡¯s gaze darkened. He wanted her and there was no doubt about it. Her body was calling and he couldn¡¯t hold back anymore.


    Madison noticed the slight change in Louis¡¯s expression and bodynguage. There was something different about him. His eyes were filled with lust but it wasn¡¯t for her.


    ¡°Does Louis have someone else? Madison wondered. She stared back at Louis with disbelief but she was met by his disdainful gaze.


    ¡°Are you done?¡± Louis was getting impatient. His body was heating up and his hands were itching to be on Skr¡¯s body.


    He left his work halfway toe to attend to Madison and now he couldn¡¯t stay back anymore.


    Listening to his euphonic voice, Madison was startled. She jumped down from his body and sat on the chair beside him.


    She couldn¡¯t believe that this was the same Louis whom she had wrapped around her fingers.


    ¡°Louis¡­.¡± Madison muttered.


    Her voice cracked as she noticed the way he looked at her just like he did on that night but this look¡­.. was a lot worse.


    Louis didn¡¯t linger around. As soon as Madison got down from hisp, He sprang up and darted towards the door. He needed to go to Skr.


    Louis hurried to the door and tried to open it but his hand halted as he held the door knob. He turned to bid farewell to the guest but she was sitting pitifully on the floor so he decided to leave her to enjoy her time crying.


    He opened the door and stepped out but not without saying,


    ¡°You can help yourself out when you¡¯re done.¡±

 25. Give You Pleasure

    ~Back In the room~


    Skr was grateful to Mrs. Alisa for saving her from Louis this time. She was grateful to Madison too for choosing now to visit Louis.


    He can satiate his hunger with her body. Skr concluded. She wanted to go out but found the door locked from the outside.


    Did Louis lock her in?


    Skr searched for her phone and found it on the bedside drawer. She took it and tried to call Helen or Alice¡­ anyone¡­


    She needed to leave the room before Louis returns.


    When he left earlier, he was exuding such an aura that matched a volcano. She didn¡¯t want to face him again.


    Skr searched her phone but couldn¡¯t find Alice or Helen¡¯s number, then it dawned on her that they didn¡¯t exchange numbers.


    She hissed in frustration as she was about to dump her phone. She noticed a strange number and wondered who it was. She dialed the number and was stunned to find out that it was Raymond¡¯s number.


    How did his number get to her phone?


    ¡°Hey there, Sky, I¡¯m d you called.¡±


    ¡°Raymond? How did you know it was me?¡± Skr couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°I saved your number that day at the party,¡± Raymond replied truthfully.


    ¡°Oh,¡± was all Skr could mutter.


    She needed someone to talk to but she couldn¡¯t bring herself to tell Raymond her plight.


    ¡°So, how have you been?¡± Raymond asked after a long silence.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine and you?¡±


    ¡°Can I invite you out for lunch tomorrow?¡± Raymond threw the million-dor question. He didn¡¯t want to dilly-dally.


    He¡¯s wasted enough time before when they were still at home, back in London but now he wouldn¡¯t let their reunion go to waste.


    ¡°Lunch? Uh¡­.¡± Skr was about to refuse. She didn¡¯t know if Louis would let her go out.


    ¡°Please Sky, don¡¯t say no to me, for old time¡¯s sake.¡±


    ¡°Raymond I¡­..¡±


    ¡°Please Sky, I have a lot to say to you. Let¡¯s meet up tomorrow for lunch.¡± Raymond pleaded. He wouldn¡¯t take no for an answer.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Skr agreed reluctantly. ¡°Let¡¯s met up tomorrow then.¡±


    ¡°Where do you want to go? Raymond asked joyfully.


    ¡°Anyce of choice is fine by me, Ray.¡±


    Skr wanted to speak to Louis about going back to college. She didn¡¯t want to cut her studies abruptly just because she got married. Once he agrees, she can out in the morning and go see the nearby colleges then she can stop by and meet up with Raymond.


    Skr already has the perfect n for tomorrow but the universe seems to disagree with her.


    Louis who was itchy and yearning for her, came in right at this time to hear her speaking to someone on the phone. At first, he thought she was telling her parents of her ordeals out here with him but his head sparked as he heard her say a name.


    ¡°Ray?¡± Louis¡¯s eyes darkened as he heard the name. ¡°Raymond Jones?¡± Louis repeated.


    He wanted to be sure that he heard the name right. Skr was rmed. She jumped and turned abruptly to see Louis standing right behind her.


    Her hand trembled and the phone fell out of it. At that moment she was like a child who had been caught doing something wrong.


    Skr looked at the door in amazement. It was still locked. She didn¡¯t hear a sound so how did Louis get in?


    ¡°I¡­ I¡­.¡±


    She wanted to say something but words eluded her.


    Louis picked up the phone and tried to see the number but the phone was broken. He could barely see a thing.


    Out of anger, Louis smashed the phone; making Skr flinch in fear.


    ¡°Who was that?¡±


    Skr shuddered at his voice. It rang like a tsunami and she couldn¡¯t help shaking. Her hands and legs were trembling and almost gave way.


    Looking at Louis¡¯s expression, she almost peed on herself. Her heart was racing and she suddenly felt dizzy.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear me? I said who were you on the phone with?¡±


    Oh No!


    Louis spoke so many words, then which means he is angry. Louis barely talks but whenever he speaks more than two words then he is mad.


    ¡°It was¡­ it was¡­ Ray¡­ Mond¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I warn you against talking to him?¡± Louis slowly made his way toward Skr.


    In Skr¡¯s eyes, Louis was like the angel of death who has visited her to take her to the heavenly realm. She will soon dine with the dead.


    ¡°Answer me!¡±


    ¡°Ye¡­ Yes¡­. you did.¡± Skr was taking backward steps as Louis came closer to her.


    ¡°But you chose to disobey me, right?¡±


    ¡°No¡­ No¡­ I didn¡¯t¡­ I ¡­ wanted to¡­.¡±


    ¡°Do you love him?¡± Louis¡¯s question came as a shock to Skr. She couldn¡¯t understand why he would think that she was in love with Raymond.


    ¡°Answer me!¡±


    Louis rushed forward and grabbed her. He pinned her to the wall.


    ¡°No¡­ No¡­.¡± Skr cried.


    She was frightened out of her wits. She has never met anyone as scary as Louis especially when he is enraged just like now.


    ¡°Then were you nning to elope with him? You made arrangements for tomorrow, right?¡± Louis¡¯s voice was low but cold enough to send shivers down her spine.


    ¡°Elope?¡± Skr was stunned to hear his deduction. Was that what he concluded from the bit he heard from her conversation with Raymond?


    ¡°So you really n to elope?¡± Louis took her silence for admittance.


    ¡°No! No¡­ I don¡¯t¡­ I was¡­.¡±


    Louis was reminded of Madison¡¯s betrayal and how badly she was banged right before him.


    No! That mustn¡¯t happen again!


    ¡°You want him to f*ck you?¡± Louis whispered in her ear as he bite her ear; sending pain and passion into her body.


    ¡°What? No!¡±


    Skr tried to move away but Louis prevented that from happening. He had her trapped.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to go so far in search of pleasure, little kitten, I¡¯m here to give you that.¡± Louis had a strange demeanor as he spoke.


    He was like a maniac.


    He stared at her like he would swallow her at any time.


    ¡°Louis, it¡¯s not what you think at all. I was only¡­¡±


    ¡°I can f*ck you as much as you want!¡±


    ¡°No¡­ Louis you¡­.¡±


    Skr was trying so hard to exin to Louis but he wasn¡¯t listening. He is carried away by jealousy and rage and his possessive form has been awoken.


    He wanted to protect what was his, this time. No one is allowed to steal from him.


    ¡°You think I can¡¯t? You doubt that I can?¡± Louis snorted as he stared down at her.


    His voice was more like a roar; making Skr tremble.  ¡°Since you doubt my capability, why don¡¯t I show you how capable I am.¡±Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    With that, Louis pulled Skr to him. In one swift movement, she found herself in his arms. He pulled the robe she had around her and that was immediately sent flying across the room.


    ¡°Ah_Louis please.¡± Skr wanted to plead but her words were sent back into herrynx as Louis¡¯s kissed her violently.


    He carried her without breaking off the kiss and much as Skr tried to pull away from the kiss, she couldn¡¯t. Louis sucked tightly on her lips; preventing her from escaping.


    Skr felt her back hit the bed and Louis moved her pant aside.


    ¡°Oh God, No!¡± Skr whimpered as Louis brushed his hard and fully erect dick against her Cunt.


    She protested and tried to push him off but Louis captured both her hands and ced them above her head before sliding straight into her.


    Skr screamed out loud at the force he exerted. She felt her skin tear as he forced his way into her.


    ¡°You are mine, Skr! Only mine!¡±

 26. Stuck With Him

    Skrid on the bed as Louis ravished her. He ate her up like she was his long craved food; making sure to touch every part of her body.  He didn¡¯t give care about her cries and pain.


    He went on and on for hours until Skr became too tired to even cry or make a sound. Louis noticed that she was weak and as soon as he got his fifth orgasm, only then did he stop.


    He wasn¡¯t satisfied, but he won¡¯t have her pass out on him.


    Louis went to the bathroom to take a bath; leaving Skr on the bed. She looked like she has lost her soul.


    She covered her body with the quilt and clenched her fist; wing tightly at her palm until it bled.


    Tears rolled down the side of her eyes. It was all over. Everything she held dear was gone. Now she is left with nothing.


    ¡°Go take a bath.¡±


    The smell of Lavender and mint covered the to as Louis returned to the room. His eyesnded on her slightly exposedp and he gulped.


    He wanted more.


    If she wasn¡¯t looking so weak, he wouldn¡¯t hesitate to pounce on her again.


    Skr didn¡¯t respond. Sheid unmoved. Her eyes were open, so Louis knew that she heard him.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear me?¡± He hated talking twice.


    Skr still didn¡¯t move.


    Louis scoffed seeing her act so stubborn. He wanted to teach her a lesson but something in him urged him to take pity on her after all, he¡¯s been punishing her for over four hours nonstop.


    Louis hissed and decided to help her out since she was probably too tired to go clean up. He went back to the bathroom and got warm water in a bowl.


    He dipped the towel in the water and grabbed her leg. Skr cringed as he tried to pry her legs open.


    ¡°Open up, I¡¯m just going to clean you up.¡±


    Skr bit her lips and wanted to refuse, but knowing who Louis is, she knew he might pick an offense out of that and decide to punish her again. She couldn¡¯t take any more of that.


    She pulled the quilt over her head to hide her face and then she released her legs. Louis pulled the legs apart and wiped her clean.


    He gulped seeing her inside. His eyes shone and he wanted to bite her p*ssy but he stopped himself.


    ¡°Control yourself, Louis,¡± He scolded himself.


    As soon as he was done, he put a pant on for her and picked a dress for her. He put that on her too.


    ¡°Dinner should be served, you shoulde down soon.¡± Louis turned to see that she was still hiding under the quilt. He shook his head and hissed.


    ¡°Don¡¯t keep me waiting.¡±


    Skr brought down the quilt from her face as soon as she heard the door close. She winced as she tried to sit up. Her waist, her belly, her vagina everything hurts. In fact, every part of her body was in pain; even her heart.


    Skr managed to get up and she crawled out of bed. Her eyes caught the blood stain on the sheet; a reminder of what she¡¯s lost and she couldn¡¯t help crying.


    She sat on the floor and hugged her knees. She covered her mouth with her hand as she wept.


    She hated Louis for doing this to her.


    ¡°Madam, master has called for you.¡± Mrs. Alisa knocked but got no response.


    She knew that Skr was inside, so she opened the door and went in to find Skr sobbing silently.


    Her heart ached for her but who was she to speak?


    ¡°Are you okay, madam?¡±


    That was a wrong question and she knew it but she had nothing else to say. The only person that could speak to Louis or even scold him was his grandma and ever since he died, Louis lost control.


    ¡°I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m not..¡± Skr managed to say.


    ¡°Do you want me to call the doctor?¡±


    Mrs. Alisa chose her words carefully. She has worked for Louis since he was young. She knew the young man so well and even though he could be unpredictable sometimes, she knew that he wouldn¡¯t appreciate it if she spoke to his wife.


    ¡°No¡­ I just¡­ I¡­¡± Skr sniffed. ¡°Can I hug you?¡±


    Skr needed someone to hug. Someone to cry her heart out to. Someone, she could tell her situation.


    She missed her mother so much but she vowed never to forgive them so soon. After what they did to her, do they even deserve to be forgiven?


    ¡°If you want to, ma¡¯am, then you can.¡±


    Mrs. Alisa knelt in front of Skr and opened her arms. Skr hugged her and cried so much in her bosom.


    She couldn¡¯t hold back. Her heart was in pain.


    She should do this with Alice or Helen but the girls have been keeping their distance since that incident. They only serve her.


    They barely talk when they are with her and they only respond to a few of her questions.


    Could she me them?


    She knew they were afraid of Louis, who wouldn¡¯t?


    ¡°It¡¯s okay¡­ hush now¡­.¡± Mrs. Alisa stroked her back.


    Skr couldn¡¯t help crying more. She missed her family. She wanted to go back.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    ¡°I want to go back home. I don¡¯t want to stay here. I don¡¯t want to live with him. He¡¯s too scary. I want to go away.¡±


    Mrs. Alisa remained quiet as Skr cried her heart out. She couldn¡¯t dare to say anything in response to Skr¡¯s utterances. She could only lend her her ears and listen.


    Mrs. Alisa wanted to console her. She wanted to tell her that everything will be fine but she wouldn¡¯t dare. She could only pray for her in her heart.


    Though she wasn¡¯t pleased with the way Louis behaved with his wife, she couldn¡¯t interfere. Who was she to do that?


    ¡°I want to go home. I don¡¯t want to be here. This ce is hell. I want to leave.¡± Skr tightened her hold on Mrs. Alisa. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be with Louis anymore. I want to be married to him. I want a divorce.¡±


    Louis was waiting for Skr toe to have dinner. He checked his time repeatedly but she didn¡¯t show up.


    ¡°Even after asking Mrs. Alisa to go call her, she still didn¡¯te?¡± Louis thought. ¡°Could something be wrong with her? Was I too rough with her earlier?¡±


    Louis¡¯s heart skipped a beat at the thought. He stood up from the dining table to go check on her.


    The door was slightly open so he went in without hassle. He found her on the floor crying in Mrs. Alisa¡¯s bosom.


    He felt bad seeing her way and he felt the urge to console her. However, the feeling disappeared in an instant as he heard all she said.


    ¡°She wants a divorce?¡± Louis¡¯s head banged. He looked down at them and went closer; making his presence known to the women in the room.


    Mrs. Alisa stepped away from Skr as soon as she saw Louis. She could tell that he was enraged.


    ¡°What did you say?¡± Louis hissed. ¡°You want a divorce?¡± Heughed.


    ¡°Please Louis, just let me go.¡± Skr was trembling as she spoke.


    She knew that he was angry but she couldn¡¯t care less at the moment. She had nothing to lose anyway, he¡¯s stripped her of everything she had.


    ¡°You really want a divorce, huh?¡± Louisughed.


    Hisugh sent an eerie feeling through Skr and she got a hunch that this wouldn¡¯t end well.


    Louis bent down and raised her chin. ¡°You can only get a divorce from me in your dream!¡±


    His eyes were dim and his heart thumped as if he was afraid of losing something precious.


    Louis closed his eyes and took deep breaths. He didn¡¯t want to be angry. He leaned closer and carried her in his arms.


    ¡°You¡¯re hungry right, let¡¯s go eat.¡±


    Skr looked at him and tried to wriggle out of his arms but his hold tightened. ¡°From now onward, you¡¯re not allowed to think about divorce. You can¡¯t leave.¡±


    Skr bit her lips and blinked back her tears. She was about to ask why he is so hell-bent on her, but the words got stuck in her throat as Louis added, ¡°You¡¯re stuck with me forever, Skr, Forever.¡±

 27. Forever Deal

    ¡°You¡¯re stuck with me forever, Skr, Forever.¡±


    Skr knew now that her life was ruined. If she would be stuck with someone like Louis all her life, then is it worth living?


    She pursed her lips and swallowed the lump that was forming in her throat.


    ¡°Do you hear me, Skr? Never think of leaving me. Is that clear?¡±


    Skr couldn¡¯t respond. How could she respond to his possessive deration?


    ¡°Do you hear me?¡± Louis looked down at the woman in his arms and she nodded.


    She knew how doesn¡¯t like it when she nods in response to his words, she said ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°Forever is the deal, Skr, Forever.¡±


    ¡°O¡­ Okay.¡± Skr nodded.


    Louis was displeased. He wanted her verbal agreement. ¡°Not just okay, say it!¡±


    ¡°For¡­ Forever is the deal.¡± Skr repeated and this earned her a smile from Louis.


    ¡°Good girl.¡±


    He patted her cheek and settled her carefully on the chair. He also sat down and prepared to eat as the maids served the meal.


    Skr¡¯s appetite was lost. Her body ached. Her heart was in pain, she is around so many people yet there was no one to console her.


    She stole nces at Louis. She wished she could stab the knife in the food, straight into his eyes.


    ¡°You¡¯re not eating?¡±


    That didn¡¯t sound like a question.


    Skr didn¡¯t wait to be told the second time. She stuffed the food into her mouth and swallowed it with difficulty. Her lips were cracked from Louis¡¯s crazy kisses; making it even more difficult to eat.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    As soon as the meal was done. Louis carried her back to the room, to Skr¡¯s surprise. He was gentle with the way he held her.


    Skr was staring wide-eyed at him. How did he make such a 360-degree turn?


    Louis dropped her on the bed and turned to leave. ¡°Get some rest.¡± He opened one of the connecting doors.


    Skrid on the bed with her knees folded. More tears rolled down her eyes. Will this be her life from now on?


    Skr was lost in thoughts about her life. This wasn¡¯t the life she had envisioned for herself. She wanted to fall in love, and get married to the man she loved. Explore the world with him. Then have kids and live happily ever after.


    However, the situation she found herself in was the exact opposite of the one she wanted. Skr shook her head at the irony.


    She pursed her lips and closed her eyes.


    Louis couldn¡¯t concentrate on his work. His mind was with Skr. He remembered what she said earlier and his heart skipped a beat.


    Was he being too harsh with her?


    No! It¡¯s the way a woman should be treated!


    Would she leave him too?


    No! She mustn¡¯t leave! Everyone else is allowed to leave but not her!


    Louis knew he wasn¡¯t treating her well but he couldn¡¯t help it. He was afraid that she would betray him if he was too good to her, just like Madison did.


    What he felt for Skr was different. He knew it. He could feel it. And even though it¡¯s only been a few weeks since they¡¯d been married, he didn¡¯t want to lose her.


    Why? Even he didn¡¯t know. He convinced himself that it was because he was attracted to her body.


    Since he was unable to concentrate, Louis decided to go back to the room. He opened the door and stepped in to see Skr sleeping.


    His lips curled into a smile. He went closer to her and bent forward. He caught a tear that escaped her eyes.


    He wiped her face with his hand. He felt bad for the way he treated her, but he couldn¡¯t ept the change that was slowly brewing in his heart.


    And as much as his mind was telling him that he was falling for her, Louis wouldn¡¯t ept it. Instead, he believe that her body was all he wants.


    Louis climbed to the bed and brought her into his arms. He buried his face in her hair.


    ¡°Goodnight, Kitten.¡±


    When Skr opened her eyes the next morning, she looked down at her waist and found Louis¡¯s hand wrapped around her.


    Skr shook her head. She would never get used to sleeping with him. She tried to peel his hand off her but Louis¡¯s eyes opened as she tried to move.


    ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± He whispered in her ear.


    His warm breath made her body heat up from the inside. Skr obeyed and stayed put.


    ¡°Good morning.¡± She muttered.


    Instead of a response, Louis groaned. Her body pressed against him was giving him so e naughty ideas. However, he knew that she still wasn¡¯t healed from the previous session.


    ¡°Hm,¡± Louis¡¯s response to her greetings was a hum.


    She tried to get out of his hold but he held her tightly. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the feel of her body in his arms.


    He loved the smell of her hair.


    ¡°There¡­ Uhm¡­ There is something I want to tell you.¡±


    Skr decided to tell him about her college. After all, she didn¡¯t know when she would be able to say it again.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    Louis still had his eyes closed. His hand pulled closer to her waist and he brought her close to him as if wanted her to go inside him.


    ¡°I ¡­. wanted¡­ I wanted¡­. to¡­.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not going to spend the whole day trying to make a sentence, will you?¡±


    ¡°No, I¡­ What I want to say ¡­.. is that¡­ I ¡­ Uhm¡­¡±


    Skr couldn¡¯t say it. The words were sitting on her tongue, but it has refused toe out. She was afraid of Louis.


    She was hoping he would allow her. She really wants to study.


    ¡°Don¡¯t say it if you mustn¡¯t.¡± Louis could feel her body tense up.


    He didn¡¯t like the way her body tensed up because it ruined the warmth he had felt from her. Louis frowned with displeasure. However, he didn¡¯t speak. He just closed his eyes and waited for her to speak.


    He was happy with the way the day started. Louis was aroused as Skr moved her ass against his groin. The member down there sprang up as if it has been expecting that action from Skr.


    ¡°Skr, you smell so good.¡±


    Louis¡¯s voice was low and lustful. One could tell what he wanted from the way he spoke.


    ¡°Louis, I ¡­ Please¡­ Can I go back to college?¡±


    Skr said it all in one breath.


    ¡°You want to go back to college?¡± Louis asked again.


    ¡°Yes, Louis, I don¡¯t want to stop schooling just because I¡¯m married. Look at me, I¡¯m still too young to be married. I should be studying¡­..¡±


    Louis¡¯s eyes darkened at those words. He was instantly reminded of what she said yesterday.


    She wanted to leave, so was this her escape n?


    Louis tightened his grip on her. He jumped from behind her and now, instead of sleeping behind her, he was now in front of her.


    He brought her close to him and now his breath was on her face.


    ¡°You want to go to college, huh?¡±


    ¡°Yes Louis, I want to study like my peers and be¡­¡±


    ¡°You want to go to college?¡± Louis repeated like it was the first he heard the college word for the first time.


    ¡°Please Louis, I only want to study and be sessful like my mates.¡±


    At the mention of mates, Louis¡¯s head banged. Raymond Jones, wasn¡¯t he her schoolmate too? Was she trying to go to college just so she could match him?


    ¡°You want to be sessful?¡± Louis asked again. ¡°Aren¡¯t you okay with being my wife? You¡¯re not sessful enough?¡±


    ¡°No Louis, that¡¯s not what I meant. I¡­.¡±


    ¡°Then what do you mean? Tell me.¡±


    Louis was starting to raise his voice.


    ¡°All I¡¯m saying is that I want to work on my career. I have a dream too, you know? And I¡­..¡±


    ¡°Exactly Skr, A dream.¡± Louis patted her cheek. ¡°That is what it will remain. Just a dream.¡±


    Skr felt tears build up in her eyes. She was expecting a different result. She hoped he would understand her since Madison also had a career even when she dated Louis before.


    ¡°Louis I¡­..¡±


    ¡°You think, I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re ying at?¡± Louis shouted. ¡°I know everything about you women! You¡¯re nning on going to college so you can elope someday.¡± Louis¡¯s eyes were fiery.


    He was now sitting, So Skr also sat.


    ¡°No! That¡¯s not it.¡± Skr shook her head.


    ¡°Then?¡±


    ¡°I just want to work on myself so¡­..


    ¡°So that you can entice other men?¡± Louis¡¯s eyes closed uppletely and when he opened them again he looked like a beast.


    His eyes were bloodshot and his body emitted a cold aura that Skr shivered.


    ¡°No, Louis that is not the case. I ¡­.¡±


    ¡°Whatever the case may be. No other man is allowed to look at you.¡± With that Louis grabbed her waist and pulled her to him.


    He kissed her and dug his hand into her lower body.


    ¡°You belong only to me! To look and to F*ck!¡±

 28. Fast Learner

    ¡°You belong only to me! To look and to F*ck!¡±


    As soon as Louis said that he jumped on her and pinned her under him. He was angry, and her body was the only thing that could calm him down.


    So, without warning, her clothes were sent flying across the room and Louis¡¯s d*ck slid straight into her; making her scream.


    She could never get used to his big size.


    Louis tortured her again that morning. He made painful thrusts into her not forgetting to remind her that she was his, and only he is entitled to her body.


    As soon as he was done. He went to the bathroom to take a bath. He got dressed to go to work.


    He looked at Skr and smirked. ¡°Won¡¯t you have breakfast?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll eat when I¡¯m hungry.¡± Skr hid behind the quilt.


    It just doesn¡¯t seem right to look at the man after he forcefully slept with her.


    ¡°You¡¯re not hungry?¡± Louis asked as he knotted his tie.


    ¡°No.¡± Skr went deeper under the sheets.


    ¡°You¡¯re revolting?¡± Louis¡¯s brow raised dangerously. His tone sent cold shivers all over Skr as it erupted coldly. He took off his suit and undid his tie. He leaned forward and was about to get on the bed. ¡°Looks like I didn¡¯t teach you well enough.¡±


    Louis kicked off his shoes as he inched closer.


    ¡°No, I ¡­..¡± Skr kept moving backward, afraid that another round of sexual torture awaits her. ¡°I was just about to leave.¡±


    She gathered the rest of her strength and hopped out of bed, forgetting that she was still naked. As soon as she got out of bed, the quilt that served as her source of protection came down.


    Skr looked from Louis to the door, then back to the bathroom. Louis was close to the bathroom, and she was close to the door, but she couldn¡¯t run out naked, could she?


    Skr tried to bolt but was caught in time by Louis. ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going, looking like that?¡±


    Louis¡¯s eyes searched her body. He glimpsed at her swollen lips and gulped. He closed his eyes and allowed his grip to tighten around her wrist.


    He has always been in control of everything in his life; even his sexual urges, but Skr¡¯s appearance has made that so difficult. It was close to being impossible.


    He no longer has control of his body.


    Everything in him revolts once he sets his eyes on Skr and now his body was jerking, his cock throbbing at the mere sight of her lips. Her disheveled look was another turn-on for him.


    ¡°I told you earlier that I, and only I alone gets to see you look so¡­.¡± Louis didn¡¯tplete the rest of his words. Instead, he kissed her swollen lips.


    His face was immediately buried in her nape as he continued to kiss and suck on her nape. ¡°Louis, please, I¡¯m sore,¡± Skr begged.


    This was how it is every time. The day before, he spent the entire night torturing, the previous night was no less and now he¡¯s about to begin even though he only just left her to rest.


    ¡°You¡¯re sore?¡± He repeated, making it sound ridiculous. ¡°Come, lie down. Let me take a look.¡±


    Skr shook her head and tried to move away from him, but he held her still. ¡°Don¡¯t you feel sore? I¡¯ll only look at it.¡±


    Louis tried to sound convincing, but his dominant countenance said otherwise. He was doing the opposite of what he intended.


    ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t.¡± Skr shook her head. She sped her legs together to hide the treasure. ¡°I¡¯m not sore.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not sore?¡± Louis asked again. His eyes stared down at her. His lips curled up in a mischievous smirk.


    Skr nodded and shook her head at once. She bit on her lips as she moved to escape, but Louis has no intention of letting her go.


    ¡°You started this, and must end it.¡±


    With that Louis bent and pulled her over. In the next seconds, Skr was bending over the counter. His trouser was out of the way and Louis dived straight into her.


    Now the pain was excruciating. Skr couldn¡¯t hold back from crying out loud. Louis propped her ass up as he went on, ignoring her cries.


    He didn¡¯t care if the entire employees know what was going on. He wasn¡¯tmiting a crime anyway, he was only teaching his wife a lesson.


    ¡°It hurts, Louis please.¡± Skr moved to get up, but Louis pinned her with his arm pressed on her back. To keep her t on the counter.


    ¡°You. Do. Not. Seduce. Me. And. Expect. To. Walk. Away.¡± Louis enunciated his words with a hard thrust and a spank to Skr¡¯s butt cheek.


    Skr bit her lips to hold back her cries, but that was a difficult task as Louis¡¯s thrust only became stronger and faster.


    She didn¡¯t do anything, yet Louis punished her for seducing him. When did she do that?


    ¡°Louis, I want to pee.¡± Skr pleaded as she felt her dder swell with urine.


    ¡°That¡¯s good, pee, right there.¡± He didn¡¯t want to put an abrupt stop to the euphoric feeling. The one only Skr gives whenever he is inside her.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    ¡°L¡­ ou¡­ is¡­¡± Skr hissed as the thrust became stronger. Too strong for her to endure. His finger located her nipple, and he pinched it slightly making Skr let out a moan.


    ¡°There, that¡¯s it.¡± Louis groaned as he drew close to climax.


    As soon as Louis pulled out, Skr fell. She was exhausted. She couldn¡¯t lift a finger.


    ¡°You took that quite well,¡± Louismented as he moved to go clean himself up.


    Was he praising her for being a good sex toy?


    Skrid on the cold floor tired and vulnerable. She couldn¡¯t move at all. Louis picked her up and ced her on the bed. He brushed his hand through her hair and smirked seeing her tired face.


    ¡°You¡¯ll get used to this.¡± He said that as if it was natural to have sex every day. Especially with someone as energetic as Louis.


    He could go on for hours without rest.


    Louis helped her clean up. He took her to the bathroom and left her to take a bath while he got dressed for work.


    ¡°Hurry up.¡± Louis knocked on the door as soon as he was done


    Skr tried not to weep, but the saltyke in her eyes burst. Tears trickled down her eyes as she washed her body. She winced as the water came in contact with her cunt


    It hurt like hell.


    She picked a towel and rushed out before Louis decides to punish her again. She went inside the closet and dressed as simply as she could.


    ¡°Breakfast time.¡±


    Louis announced as soon as she stepped out. He opened his hands, and she obediently ced her hand in his. Skr was so tired that the steps she took were so heavy. It felt as if the legs didn¡¯t belong to her, but someone else.


    ¡°So, what lesson did you learn today?¡± Louis asked after the meal. He was standing behind her with his face inches away from kissing her.


    Skr was confused. She didn¡¯t know she had to give an ount of the moral lesson, learned from having mercilessly used her body.


    ¡°I¡­ Learned how¡­.¡±


    Skr was stuttering. She didn¡¯t even know how to phrase the word. Likewise, she was afraid of giving a wrong answer.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t learn anything?¡± Louis¡¯s expression became sullen. He stared at her deeply and moved to touch her, but Skr flinched and shook her head.


    Her head was jumbled. The closer Louis was to picking her up the faster she tried to think.


    ¡°I am yours only,¡± Skr muttered whatever crap that found its way into her mouth. ¡°To look and to f*ck.¡±


    Louis smiled with contentment. His hand went inside her hair as he leaned to kiss her cheek. ¡°You learn really fast.¡±

 29. Let鈥檚 Do This

    ¡°Be good while I¡¯m gone, otherwise, I might have to¡­..¡±


    Louis left the statement iplete so that Skr would fill the gap in her head. He kissed her lips before going out of the house.


    As soon as she heard the sound of the door, Skr threw her head straight on the table. She let out a sigh of relief. A pool of tears apanied the sigh.


    She bit her lips to stop herself from crying loudly. Especially when the guards are watching her keenly.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am your tutor is here.¡± Helen¡¯s voice made her raise her head abruptly. She nced in Helen¡¯s direction.


    Steven¡¯s head popped out from behind Helen, and he waved at her. ¡°Hello, Skr.¡±


    Skr wiped her tears. She got up and excused herself. ¡°I¡¯ll be right back.¡±


    Skr tried to run her way up the stairs, but she couldn¡¯t. Her legs hurt so much. She could barely move them. Biting her lips, she took the steps slowly as she went up the stairs. She threw herself on the bed and cried her heart out.


    Her body was in pain. Her pride was broken. Likewise, her dignity was shattered, and her heart feels squashed.


    What was left of her life?


    Skr took her time weeping. She hadpletely forgotten that Steven was waiting. Helen came up to remind her.


    ¡°Oh¡­ Uhm¡­ I¡¯ll be there right away.¡± Skr went to the bathroom to wash her face, but that wasn¡¯t enough to hide her swollen eyes.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    After walking a step away from Helen, she remembered that Louis has been having unprotected intercourse with her.


    What if she gets pregnant?


    ¡°No. I mustn¡¯t!¡± Skr shook her head.


    She is too young to be pregnant. Especially not for a monster like Louis. She would never give birth to his child


    ¡°Helen, can I ask for a favor?¡± Skr bit her lips in exasperation.


    ¡°Tell me, ma¡¯am,¡± Helen became attentive. She knew something was wrong with Skr, but she couldn¡¯t dare to inquire, for fear of being caught by Louis.


    Skr nced around to be sure that there was no one around or some hidden cameras. Louis can go to any length just to watch her. She wouldn¡¯t be surprised if he has some cameras hidden somewhere in the room.


    ¡°Can you get some contraceptives?¡± She finally asked.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Helen was stunned. She wasn¡¯t expecting Skr to ask such a favor of her.


    ¡°I need it.¡± Skr¡¯s voice cracked. She bit her lips and tried to hide the desperation in her tone.


    ¡°Uhm¡­ I don¡¯t think that¡¯s a good idea. The boss won¡¯t like that.¡± Helen strongly advised. She pursed her lips and tried to haul back the tears at the brink of her eyes.


    Skr doesn¡¯t care if Louis liked it or not. She mustn¡¯t get pregnant. If that happens, she won¡¯t be getting her freedom if she does.


    ¡°Please,¡± Skr beseech.


    ¡°The boss¡­.¡±


    ¡°He won¡¯t find out!¡± Skr shouted before Helen could state her reason for refusal.


    ¡°Still ma¡¯am, he will be mad if he finds out.¡± Helen shook her head as she politely declined.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± Skr pursed her lips and nodded bitterly.


    What was she expecting? Thedy works for Louis even before she arrived. Of course, her loyalty would be to Louis.


    They all fear and obey him only.


    Skr went out of the room to attend the day¡¯s ss. Taking her steps slowly to hide her sloppy walks, Skr descended the stairs rather sluggishly.


    ¡°Wee,¡± Steven smiled seeing her again. He was worried earlier when she left with so much mncholy sitting on her beautiful face.


    Her eyes were swollen and bloodshot, a perfect description of someone who just cried a river.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Skr tried to smile, but the pain in her heart was so much that it killed every joy before it reaches her eyes.


    ¡°Ready for today¡¯s ss?¡± Steven asked as he put out his hand to help here down thest stairs.


    ¡°Yes, I am,¡± Skr replied with an appreciative smile.


    Judging from the fact that Steven was able to read her even on his first day, Skr wasn¡¯t the least surprised to see him offer his hand. She knew he must notice her sloppy steps.


    Did he know the reason why her steps have been altered?


    Skr took his hand and offered a smile. With her hand still in his, she moved towards the small space set aside for her sses, she was about to sit but was pulled by Steven.


    ¡°No ma¡¯am, we won¡¯t be having today¡¯s ss here.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Skr met Steven¡¯s yful smile. His eyes stared deeply into hers. Skr looked away from him and tried to wriggle out of his hold, but Steven held tightly to her as if he was afraid of losing her.


    ¡°Where are we having today¡¯s ss and why?¡±


    Steven studied her. From her swollen lips to her sloppy walk and the neatly hidden Hickey around her neck. He could tell that she wasn¡¯t displeased, her swollen, bloodshot eyes tell the tale of how much she¡¯s cried.


    ¡°How far did that bastard go anyway? Steven cursed Louis in his thoughts.


    He knew that she wouldn¡¯t appreciate any word offort. Especially not from him, so instead of words he decided to take her out.


    ¡°We¡¯ll be going out for today¡¯s ss and the reason is to show you how outdoor experiences contribute to making you a good wife for your husband.¡±


    At the word husband, Skr clenched her fist beside her. She hated the word. Besides, Louis wasn¡¯t her husband, he never acted like one. Instead, he treated her like a toy; purchased only for his sexual pleasure.


    ¡°But is it _


    ¡°You¡¯ll learn a lot, I promise.¡± Steven tapped his chest proudly.


    He knew that she will feel better once she steps out.


    ¡°I should call Louis and inform him.¡± Skr tried to move, but Steven wouldn¡¯t let go. Skr turned to look at his hand. She opened her mouth to speak, but Steven best her to it.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to inform him,¡± He shook his head. He thinned his lips and raised his brow as if asking her to trust him.


    ¡°Louis has asked the guards to keep me in. They won¡¯t let me go out.¡± Skr whispered.


    ¡°Not if they don¡¯t know it¡¯s you.¡± Steven shrugged.


    Skr to think about it. She wanted to go out. She wanted to see the city, but Louis already ordered the guards to keep her in. Especially after the phone call she made to Raymond the other day.


    She pursed her lips as she thought of what to do. Though she was afraid of getting punished if Louis found out about this, the idea sounded good, too good to let go.


    Besides, Louis punishes for just anything. Even when she did nothing wrong, she got punished nheless.


    Skr was curious about what the world outside looked like. She wanted to fly like a bird, but she got caged like a canary.


    This wasn¡¯t the life she wanted, and she couldn¡¯t wait to escape, but before then she will live life the way she should. Hopefully, Louis wouldn¡¯t find out and if he does, then she¡¯ll dly ept his punishment.


    ¡°So?¡± Steven nudged her, pulling her out of her reverie.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡±


    Steven was pleased with himself. He was happy to see that the barriers built around her, we¡¯re slowlying off. He smiled and blinked his eyes again, pretending as if he didn¡¯t what she said before.


    ¡°Are you sure?¡±


    Steven wanted the response toe from her heart. Lest she regrets if things turn out wrong.


    The offer sounded good, and the adventure is definitely worth any punishment she would get from Louis. Skr nodded and smiled as she took Steven¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Let¡¯s do this.¡±

 30. More Than A Friend

    Two men walked passed the gate of Louis¡¯s mansion. They were arguing about something unknown as they reach the gate. Steven waved to announce his departure.


    ¡°Who is this other man?¡± The head guard stopped them as they were about to go out.


    ¡°He is my apprentice.¡± Steven introduced the other man to the guard.


    ¡°What is your name?¡± The head guard asked, staring suspiciously at the other man.


    ¡°He can¡¯t talk,¡± Steven replied again.


    ¡°But he wasn¡¯t with you when you arrived earlier, how did hee in?¡± The guard was speaking to Steven, but his watchful eyes were on the other man.


    ¡°I would have told you to ask him, but he can¡¯t speak,¡± Steven started, his tone harsh and mocking. ¡°However, don¡¯t you think that question demeans you as a guard here? I mean, if you can¡¯t ount for the job for which you were hired, how should I? If you can¡¯t tell when someonees in, how do you think I should? After all, he couldn¡¯t have crawled through tunnels to go in could he?¡±


    The head guard understood the meaning behind Steven rebuking words. They were careless Indeed, they didn¡¯t notice when the mute man went inside.


    ¡°We¡¯re sorry for dying you, sir. I hope you understand that we were only doing our jobs. Also, we would appreciate it if you do not mention this to the boss.¡± The head guard sounded pitiful as he begged.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. I won¡¯t say anything to Louis as long as you don¡¯t.¡± Steven replied with acent smirk.


    ¡°Sure sir,¡± The head guard replied. He stepped aside, giving room for Steven and his supposed apprentice to step out of the mansion.


    Steven led Skr to his car. He helped her settle in and drove out of the manor as fast as he could.


    ¡°That was amazing!¡± Skrmented.


    She thought they would get caught. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest when they were stopped by the head guard earlier.


    When Steven wrapped and styled her hair, she felt uneasy, but the result was satisfying.  Using several pins, Steven hid her long hair and made it look like a simple fringe.


    Thankfully he had a shirt that fitted Skr perfectly and she was lucky enough that one of Louis¡¯s shorts fitted her too. Steven worked some wonder on her face, using wheat flour and she was transformed into someone different.


    ¡°Indeed it was,¡± Steven replied.


    He was happy to see her smiling. Earlier, when he saw her crying his heart was pained. He wanted to do something, anything to make her happy even if that might make him incur Louis¡¯s wrath.


    He didn¡¯t care.


    Steven knew that they would escape, but he was slightly frightened when the guard stopped them. He was afraid that Skr would be recognized by them. His fear heightened and he thought they would get caught when the head guard stopped them too.


    Skr¡¯s feet were glued to the ground. She was shaking slightly and her hands became sweaty.


    She released her breath as soon as they got out. Her heart warmed up as the cool summer breeze touched her face.


    cing her head at the window side, Skr watched the scenery. She admired the city of Phdelphia.


    Her face was all Steven could see as he drove into the city park. She was beaming and he was proud of himself for putting a smile on her face.


    ¡°Would you like some ice cream?¡± Steven asked as he opened the door for her to step out of the car.


    ¡°Yes please,¡± Skr hopped out of the car and ran forward. She twirled around happily as she inhaled the air in ecstasy.


    The scent of freedom was divine. She loved it.


    Steven returned with a cup of ice cream and some chips. Skr wanted a ride on the Ferris wheel. He apanied her and led her to the entrance.


    ¡°Please sit with me,¡± Skr pleaded. She was afraid of heights.


    The Ferris wheel was her favorite part of the park. Her visit would feel iplete without it. Every time she visits the park, Jamie would sit beside her.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Steven agreed.


    He sat beside her and fasten the belt as the wheel came on. Skr loved the spinning of the wheel, but as soon as it goes high, she bes dizzy.


    She dug her nails into Steven¡¯s arm as she tried to hold him for support. The faster the wheel spun the happier she felt. However, her fear of heights was about to ruin the moment, so she grabbed his hand for support and assurance.


    Steven took his time to study Skr¡¯s beautiful features as the wheel spun. His eyes were on her the entire ride. He noted how her lips thinned in anxiety as the wheel went higher and how hershes fluttered in excitement at other times.


    He was filled with immense joy at the jot he was able to bring to her face.


    ¡°Where else do you want to go?¡± Steven helped Skr out of the wheel as soon as the ride stopped.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    She smiled as she looked around happily before pointing towards the horse ride. ¡°I¡¯ll go over there.¡±


    Steven apanied her to take the ride but didn¡¯t need to sit with her this time. He frowned as she mounted the horse and the ride moved in circles.


    The height wasn¡¯t significant like the first ride, so she wasn¡¯t afraid, she didn¡¯t need support or assurance.


    Steven took out his phone and made videos of Skr as she rode the wheel. He wanted to capture the happiness on her face.


    Her smile is a priceless gem. He could look at her for the whole day. Steven knew then and there that he wanted to be more than a friend to her.


    Louis didn¡¯t value her anyway, it¡¯s only a matter of time before the wedding falls to ruin, he only has to make himself avable to help keep her happy, then he¡¯ll stand a chance when she leaves Louis.


    Steven checked the time as soon as he got the reminder alert that he had set, so he would take Skr back home early. He noticed that it was getting dark.


    ¡°Sky,¡± He called out to her, but she was busy with the roller coaster ride. He waited for her to step out as soon as the ride was done.


    ¡°Skr!¡± Steven called again, but Skr was too happy. She didn¡¯t hear him calling.


    Skr wanted to enjoy her freedom to the fullest before she returned to Louis¡¯s hell. Steven ran forward and pulled Skr, making her fall into his arms. He was mesmerized by her beauty.


    Skr stirred and tried to get out of his arms. Steven cleared his throat as he help her stand straight.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to go back.¡±
