Lilian Pov.....Just as I was about to reach the door, I heard the sound of a floorboard creaking beneath my feet. I froze, holding my breath and praying that I hadn't been heard. But it was too late. A deep, rumbling voice came from behind me.As I turned, my heart pounded with the force of a thousand drums, and my breath caught in my throat. There, standing before me, was none other than Ryan, his piercing gaze boring into me. I stood frozen, unable to find the words to reply. What had I done to deserve this? I racked my brain for an explanation, but came up empty. All I could do was stare back, wide-eyed and terrified.My words seemed to hang in the air, suspended in the tension between us. Ryan's eyes narrowed, and I could feel the weight of his gaze like a physical force. "You had no right to come here. You could have been hurt. I told you to stay downstairs." His voice was like a whip, cutting through the silence with brutal efficiency. I flinched, my body trembling under the we
My heart skipped a beat. I had to get out of there, but I was frozen in terror. I felt my earring slip from my ear, the clatter of it hitting the ground echoing in the stillness of the night. “No!” I gasped, my eyes wide with fear.I’d never imagined such a scenario could unfold, but there I was, hiding behind a tree and straining to hear every sound. The last thing I expected was for the jingle of my earring to catch their attention, but when I heard a sharp intake of breath, I knew I’d been caught. My heart was racing, and my stomach churned with dread. What would happen next?“Did you hear that?” The man who seemed to be their leader sniffed the air, his eyes scanning the surrounding area. His head turned toward my hiding place, and my heart skipped a beat. Would I be found out?“I heard it too,” said one of the men, pointing to the bush where I was hiding. My heart leaped into my throat and I didn’t know whether to run, scream, or stay frozen where I was. My body was shaking, my b
Chapter 1The room Is suffocating, its walls pressing in on me, trapping me in its claustrophobic embrace. The air is thick with dust and despair, weighing down on me like a heavy mantle. The stairs creak under my feet, each step feeling like an eternity. I descend into the darkness, my vision blurred by the tears that run down my face. I know what awaits me at the bottom of the stairs – a choice between life and death. I must face my fate, whatever way it may end. The thought sends a shiver down my spine.The choice Before me is as clear as it is horrifying. To marry a ruthless billionaire, to bind myself to a man whose name is spoken with fear and loathing – this is a fate worse than death. But I have no choice, for I have been told that my life depends on it. I must marry this man, or die. As I stand on the brink of this decision, I feel a wave of hopelessness wash over me. I am trapped, with no escape in sight. What will become of me?I watch my father’s eyes drop to the floor, un
Chapter 2“What are you doing here Ethan?” I stammer out my fears visible on my face. He is the last person I expect to see.“Ethan, what are you doing here?” I stammered, my voice shaking with fear. I couldn’t hide the terror that was written all over my face. My heart was pounding, and my breath came in short, gasping breaths.“I should be asking you that, Olivia,” he said, his voice low and intense. “Where have you been all these years? I’ve looked for you everywhere, and I never gave up hope of finding you.” He fixed me with a piercing gaze, and I felt as though he could see right through me. “I went to your old house so many times, hoping you’d come back. I even left a note on your door, asking you to wait for me. I never stopped believing you’d come back,” he said, his voice hoarse with emotion.My eyes darted around the room, my mind racing as I tried to find the right words to say. I couldn’t speak, as if my mouth was paralyzed by a force I couldn’t understand. “Where is our
Chapter 3WARNING ⚠️ 18+: CONTAINS SEXUAL CONTENTSI felt my mouth go dry as I searched my mind for an answer, my thoughts racing. The maid’s voice was growing louder like she is approaching the door. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, and my palms were sweaty. “Are you a virgin?” I heard him repeat, his voice echoing in my head. I felt frozen, unable to speak or move."I... I'm a... virgin," I stammered, my voice shaking. I couldn't believe I was lying, but I was afraid of what would happen if I told the truth. My heart was racing, and I could feel the sweat beading on my forehead. I knew this lie wouldn't last long, and I was terrified of what would happen when the truth came out. But for now, I felt a brief sense of relief. My words hung in the air, and I waited for his response.I felt a wave of relief wash over me as he accepted my lie. But at the same time, I felt a twinge of guilt and shame. I looked down at the floor, my gaze landing on the golden tiles. I felt a sens
Chapter 4“You’re not pure a virgin, Olivia,” he said, his voice like ice. My heart pounded in my chest as I took a step back. I could feel my body trembling.“You lied to me, didn’t you?” His voice was full of accusation, and I felt like I was shrinking under his glare. I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out."Get out!" he yelled, his voice booming in the silent room. My eyes darted to him in fear, my hands shaking as I reached for my clothes. I wanted to cover myself, to protect myself, but his words seemed to freeze me in place. I felt exposed and vulnerable, like a deer caught in the headlights."Go outside, and leave your clothes here," he said, his voice cutting through the air like a knife. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I felt numb, like I was in a nightmare.“You have five seconds to get out of here,” he said, his voice low and threatening. I could feel my heart racing, the seconds ticking by in my head. I knew I had to move, but my body felt frozen in plac
Ryan Pov….Trembling, I reached out to the box, my hands shaking as I touched the surface. “Please forgive me,” I begged, my voice pleading. “I warned her, but she wouldn’t listen. Please, don’t punish me for her mistake." The box suddenly flashed a warning light, and I felt a wave of fear wash over me.The light turned from red to green, and I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I carefully placed the box back on the shelf, my hands still shaking. I sat back down on the bed, trying to catch my breath.I had to warn her, to stop her from causing any more damage. I reached up and pressed the alarm button above my bed. Within seconds, the door burst open and the guards rushed in.“Get my wife,” I commanded, and the guards bowed and hurried out of the room.A soft knock ring at the door, and I jumped at the sound. “Come in,” I said.Slowly, the door opened, revealing Olivia, her head bowed and her eyes downcast. “You called for me, my….?” she asked, her voice trembling with fear.I looke
Ryan Pov….I watched her, captivated by the realization that she was afraid. Her eyes darted to the floor, like a mouse being chased by a hungry cat. The fear was palpable in the room, and I could almost feel the tension in her body as she struggled to stay calm.“You’re the one?” I stammered, reaching out to her. She stood pale and shaky, her eyes fixed on me with a look that demanded an explanation. She was emotionless, but there was an intensity in her gaze that shook me to my core.She was the last person I expected to see. I didn’t know if she would save me or destroy me, but I knew I couldn’t let her know how I felt. The best way to hide my feelings was to avoid her at all costs. She thought I was indifferent to her, but from now on I would be twice as distant. With a steely gaze, I pulled my hands away from her trembling shoulders and stepped back.“Just go, Oliver,” I said, my voice cold and distant. I didn’t want to answer the thousand questions swirling in her mind. I watche
