ElviraAfter Demetrius pays for my brother's hospital bill, the doctors begin treatment on him. I stand outside the ward with my mother, anxiously waiting for when I receive good news. I look at my mother, who keeps glancing over at Demetrius with furrowed brows. "Elvira, who is this man?" my mother asks, whispering into my ears. "It's a long story, mummy," I say, not wanting to explain the full details of the whole issue. "How did you get the money to pay for your brother's hospital bills?" she asks again, watching me with raised brows. "Five freaking million dollars, Elvira!" "Mummy, I've told you, it's a long story, and I will explain everything to you later!" I say, trying not to raise my voice at my mother. "Are you now a prostitute?!" she asks again, raising her voice this time around. Unfortunately, Demetrius hears it and looks at us with a raised brow. I suddenly feel embarrassed at my mother's statement, the weight of everything that has happened on me. "Just...just
Elvira"Thank you so much," I cry, hugging him tightly as I bury my face in his broad chest."Don't cry, little wife," he says, tapping my hair lightly.He doesn't say anything again and just lets me unleash all my emotions.After some minutes, I stop crying and lift up my head. Tear stains can be seen on his clothes, but he seems unfazed about them."Umm... umm... tha... thank you for everything," I say and try to go back to my seat, but his grip tightens. I chuckle nervously and try again, but he just doesn't want to release me just yet.Giving up, I stop struggling and stay quietly. Almost immediately, we drive out of the hospital premises.After a few minutes of driving, we arrive at his mansion.Just as we are about to come down from the car, a tall, masculine figure comes rushing towards us."Damien!" the person calls as he knocks on the window. Only one person calls Demetrius Damien; Hendrix.Demetrius sighs and rolls down the window. "What the hell are you doing at my house, H
ElviraFearfully, I gulp down saliva, my eyes darting around the lonely, slightly dark corridor. "Man up and walk down that hallway, Elvira!" I tell myself with a shaky voice. I make up my mind to go down the corridor to Demetrius's room.I can feel my hands shivering uncontrollably. Gulping down saliva, I raise up my leg, ready to start walking, but suddenly, I hear footsteps approaching me—really fast! "Who the hell is there?!" I yell, my eyes darting around the place. The footsteps grow louder and louder, until they are almost upon me. I panic, my heart pounding in my chest. I frantically look around for something I can use as a weapon and spot a vase on a nearby table. I grab it, dump the flowers on the ground, and raise it in a defensive stance.I hear the footsteps grow loud with each passing second. Finally, a tall, mysterious shadow appears. "Ahhh!!!" I yell, closing my eyes and raising the vase above my head. I run towards the source of the footsteps, ready to strike who
ELVIRAI widen my eyes in shock as I stare at Demetrius walking into the room with elegance and an aura that screams power and intimidation." I..I am truly sorry," I apologize, my head hung low in embarrassment. I did not expect him to hear what I had said about him.He takes slow strides towards the bed, I look up to take a peek at him only to meet his piercing gaze on me.Immediately, I lower my head. I can feel my heart racing uncontrollably. I am a little bit scared because I am not aware of what he has in mind.I can hear the sound of boots against the ground, they are coming closer and closer until they stop right in front of me.I squeeze my eyes shut, bracing myself for whatever is about to happen."Elvira," he calls, his voice reverberating through the room. I know he is right above me.Slowly, I open my eyes to meet his gaze. Feeling scared and intimidated, I quickly shut my eyes, not wanting to stare at him."Elvira," he says, his voice deep and resonant. The sound of my n
ELVIRA"Thirdly," he growls, taking slow strides towards me.With every step he takes, my heart pounds harder in my chest. His eyes never leave mine, his gaze intense and focused. I can feel the heat of his gaze burning into me, searing through my skin.His muscles flex with every movement, each one a testament to his strength and power. My body responds to his intense gaze."Thirdly," he says again as he stands above me, still not breaking from his intense gaze.He twirls the wine in his hand, playing with it. He lifts it up and takes another sip, savoring every taste. Finally, he speaks up."Thirdly," he snarls, "being under my roof as my contracted bride comes with a price you have to pay." A sly smirk plays on his lips as he says those words."Name it," I say boldly, matching his energy. " I am ready for anything""Brave bitch," I can hear him growl under his breath, his eyes glistening with mischief."Thirdly, you would not leave my house without my permission," he says as his ex
ELVIRAI stand frozen for a few seconds, trying to process what has just happened. Then, with a heavy heart, I slowly sit back down on the bed. I bite my lip to keep myself from crying, tears threatening to spill from my eyes. I can't believe how my life has turned upside down in just one day. I woke up this morning, never expecting that by nightfall, I would be in a strange man's bed. It's surreal and unsettling, and I can't wrap my head around it."You are not to talk back to me or oppose my decisions, Elvira," Demetrius says, taking a last sip of wine from his glass.He turns to face me, his movements slow and calculated. He carries himself with an air of arrogance, his head held high."You don't have the right to question me, Elvira," he says, his voice cold and commanding. "Do you understand?"I hang my head, pain evident on my face. “Do you fucking understand, Elvira?!!!” I hear him roar, this time around he sounds very angry. The air around us grows suffocating and thick. "Y
ELVIRAI-I-I stutter, not knowing what to say. “I can be very.. jealous and protective of what belongs to me, Elvira," he said again, whispering into my ears. I gulp down saliva, trying to ignore the effect he is having on me. “Is-is that not like the basic thing one should know before entering a contract marriage?" I ask with an inaudible scoff. Before entering into this contract marriage, I had already prepared myself to face whatever that was going to come my way without any complaints. I knew a contract marriage was like a cage that restricts one from doing what she wants. “Aren't you one intelligent little wife?" I hear him ask while he plants soft kisses on my neck. His lips then trail down my collarbones, kissing and nibbling on them like they are his favorite candy. “I have to say, little wife," he growls. “You look really hot today." I can feel my cheeks flush in embarrassment and disbelief, Demetrius has just complimented me! With every touch on my skin, I can feel
ELVIRAI gulp down saliva as those words leave his mouth; I find myself trembling as my heart races in my chest. “Do you understand, little wife?" He snarls.I nod, "Yes."My heart pounds in my chest—this was just not what I had expected my love life to be. He leans in closer, his hot breath caressing my collarbone.I cannot deny the heat that is building inside. I am not only frightened but also exhilarated, and my body hums with anticipation.Demetrius leans in, his lips brushing my cheek. "And finally," he whispers, his breath hot against my skin, "you would not betray me in any way or else..." he doesn't bother completing his words because I already know what he is going to say."I know, there would be consequences,” I cut him short.He lifts his head and looks into my eyes, he has an amused expression on his handsome face."Hmm.." he hums. "Good little bitch!”"Mhmm,” I nod, trying to ignore the pleasurable sensation I feel whenever he addresses me as a little bitch. It sounds v
