The black Rolls-Royce that Claudia, Nicholas, and I are on stopped before a regal-looking establishment. A place that will ultimately intimidate everyone who doesn't have a fat bank account. I peek through the tinted window. I could not help but play with my fingers as emotions went straight to my head.
"Sweetheart, will you stop fidgeting? You look so nervous. Rory is never nervous. She is always confident with herself. Right now." Claudia quickly runs her eyes from my face down to my upper body. "You look like a mess." She turned her head to Nicholas, sitting on the shotgun seat next to their driver, "I don't think that it'll work. Suppose Kairo is caught red-handed for fooling him like this. It will be the end of us, Spencer.""Auntie," Nicholas called her with his ever-calm voice. When their eyes met. Claudia's face lit up instantly. She nodded her head, and then she shifted her body towards my direction."I trust you. You'll do great. It's all in my head. A glass of champagne will make me feel better. We should get going," Claudia urges us. Nicholas opened the door for us. I let her walk in front of me, leading the way. At the same time, Nicholas stayed by my side."You look like a morning sun," Nicholas whispered, which made me look up to him. He could have just said that I look pretty, but this man loves being poetic, and I will gobble up that compliment. Because to be complimented like that is a one-in-a-lifetime experience.Nicholas offered me his arms. At first, I was confused, but as soon as I remembered that the honest Rory loves clinging her hand to her brother's arm. I hooked mine with his and continued to walk inside of the atelier."Good morning, Mrs. Spencer." Claudia smiled lovingly at the old man. The friendly smile on his lips widens even more after she acknowledges his presence. The gold nameplate on the side of his chest says who he is and his position. He's the branch manager of this store."Mr. Lancaster is already waiting in the VIP room," he said. When I felt that I was about to start playing with my fingers for the nth time. I tightly grasped the strap of my Kelly and smiled warmly at the store manager. William, the store manager, leaned closer to Claudia's ear. He whispered something that instantly made her happier than she was one second ago."Darling, you should go and say hi to your husband. I'll be there in a minute." I moved my head once and subtly looked up to Nicholas. He then led the way toward the VIP room while I was following her like a lost puppy while our arms were still linked with each other.Nicholas stopped in front of a double door made of hardwoods. He took a final glance at me before he opened the door."Do I have to greet him or what?" I asked as we walked inside the VIP room. In the middle of the room is a white leather couch. It is spacious enough to accommodate six people or more, but at the moment. Kairo Maximus Lancaster is settled in the middle of the sofa as if he owns this place."Not really," Nicholas whispered back. I kept a proper distance from Kairo as I settled on the couch. Nicholas put a throw pillow on top of my lap. At the same time, I am trying my best to be comfortable next to Kairo. I could feel him staring at me. I could even hear an imaginary murmur asking me to steal a glance from his direction, but I was too afraid to meet his green eyes. That is as mysterious and cold as a forest."Is there something that you want?" Nicholas asked. I nodded and then pointed to a set of crystal glasses and a bottle of rum.For a moment. I thought I saw life flashes before Nicholas's eyes as he saw me asking for a hard liquor. I saw my own life flash across my own eyes, too, as realization hit me.Shit! I am playing Rory Spencer right now, and I like treating my little bottle of rum as my morning coffee. Rory is more of a tea person in the morning. I chuckled at Nicholas."Kidding. I want an iced jasmine-" Before I could finish what I was about to say. Nicholas' phone rang. He fished it out of his pocket, and then he gave me a meaningful look."I need to take this," he said. He looked over at Kairos and then back at me before he left the VIP room. Leaving me entirely behind with the sexy billionaire beast."Why won't you sit closer to me, Rory?" Kairo suddenly spoke. There's a hint of playfulness in his voice, and I swear. I can see him smirking at me through my peripheral vision.When he started chuckling, my curiosity got the best of me, and I looked in his direction."I said, sit closer to me, Rory." I look at him, puzzled by his demand. I remembered Nicholas telling me last night that this man purposely avoids having Rory near him like she has an infectious disease, and yet here he is. He was acting as if he'd die if we were not skin-to-skin close with each other."Is this how you'll treat me while we're married?" I asked. His eyebrow shot up."While we're married? You speak like this marriage is nothing but a fleeting deal.""Is it not? I thought that maybe after a year or two. You'll hand me a divorce paper, and we're through."Kairos stared at me. It felt like his green eyes darkened as he scrutinized me."Who the hell are you?" He asked, and my heart instantly stopped beating.Shit! Am I caught?Calm. I need to stay calm. I faked the knotting of my forehead as I made eye contact with him. I am not going to let this man intimidate the shit out of me and make me lose my first million dollars.I slowly pulled a sarcastic smile on my lips as I tilted my head but still stared at him. "Can't you guess? Your bride runaway but this family can't afford to lose this business deal, and so here I am. An impostor who looks exactly like her." I made sure that I wouldn't stutter as I said those. Confidence is the key. Reverse psychology always works like a charm, and I hope it does wonders this time. "I see. When I saw you last night. You weren't having your bridal shower." I shake my head at him. "No. I was out partying and enjoying my last day as a single lady, dancing on someone else's lap as I tried to grasp that I was going to end up in a marriage with a man who was always away. I'd be sexually starved. Just by thinking about it." I rolled my eyes mid-air, "I am starting to hate you
I can feel my insides soaking as his bold and scandalous choice of words tingles my clit. I mentally shut and roll my eyes at myself. What a fucking hoe, Isla! He hasn't even touched you down there, and yet you can feel a phantom flicker of his finger. Having him inside my mouth while wearing this thousand-dollar wedding gown doesn't sound so bad. I looked at Kairos with the same amount of passion and ferocity before I turned my back on him. I caged my hair on my hand and rested it all on the left side of my neck and shoulder. I was giving him access to the right. Kairos wasted no time within a blink of an eye. His lips were all over my neck and shoulder. I was used to giving pleasure to men. It's a rare occurrence that I receive one from them, and this is one of the rare moments that will go down in the history of my sex life. Kairos pulled me closer to him. He wrapped his arm around my waist, and he started to rock and grind his hard-on against my ass. I am still wearing the wed
"That's a mind-blowing orgasm. Fuck, you are so good." Those words slipped out of my mouth, and when I realized it. It was too late. Kairos already heard him, and I bet he has his brain cells memorizing it.God, Isla! Yes. It's the most satisfying orgasm that you've ever had, but you don't have to boost his confidence like that. Now Kairos will start to think like he's some God for freaking great sex, but if I am being honest. For sure, he could be one. Eros, the God of romance or so, wouldn't mind. "Want to spend the night at my place?" He asked after he sat right beside me. I was wearing just my bra and underwear. I silently breathe deeply as I catch my breath. When I opened my eyes. I found the expensive gown lying on the floor as if it cost nothing but a dollar that we can always find in the dollar store.With my eyes still pasted on the gown. Eyeing its intricate details. I give Kairos a mischievous smile. "Why would I spend the night at your place? It's unladylike to spend the
On our way out of the atelier. Rory's cell phone, which Nicholas made me use, started to ring. It was as if he knew I was now done fitting his sister's wedding gown. I glance at Kairos, who is two steps ahead of me—biting my lower lip as I contemplate whether I'll answer Nicholas's call immediately. He didn't realize that he had left me behind. Rory's phone soon stopped ringing, but a new message popped on the screen. [Aren't you done with your fittings? Your appointment should have ended ten minutes ago. Please answer the phone, Isla.] Right after I read his messages, that is filled with correctly spelled words and punctuation. Nicholas' number popped on the screen, and I had no choice but to slide up the answer button this time. "Wait for me there. I am just a few blocks away from the Atelier," he said. I was about to open my mouth and say something when a massive hand and long fingers took Rory's phone out of my hand. Kairos stole the phone from me, bringing it straight to his
Kairos stopped in front of Spencer's driveway, but I remained nailed on my spot, not wanting to move even an inch. I badly want to bite on my fingernail as my anxiety starts getting the best of me.What would I say if they asked me why Kairos would want to move in with him after they left us together for less than two hours when Rory had been following him around like his golden retriever, and yet he didn't even pat her on her head once as a form of showing his affection? What should I say? That Kairos probably fell for my charms? We all know that I don't have charms and best believe that they know entirely about my background, though they won't say it straight to my face. I think they would eventually find out that I fucked with their daughter's husband. "Rory, we're home," Kairos said, which snapped me back to reality. I glance at him. He is already waiting for me outside of his car. I subtly swallow a lump in my throat before I unbuckle my seatbelt. Two steps away from the front do
Kairos's eyebrows finally arched, and his forehead knotted. For a moment, I thought he had decided and would come near me and confirm something just when I was about to ignore his presence and his pair of lustful eyes. The temperamental beast ignored me, too. He turned his back on me, then adjusted his body to make himself more comfortable at the sun lounger. He places both hands at the back of his head to make it his pillow, and he closes his eyes afterward. It looks like he's currently marinating himself under the sun that is not there because it's already seven in the evening. We're all just waiting for our personal chefs to be done with the outdoor buffet that Dianna suggested and asked for. "Yes, Rory?" He asked that question like he was humming it. I sat up straight and looked away from him with annoyance all over my face that I couldn't hide. I force my lid to shut as I breathe in and out in an attempt to control my emotions. This is the time when I hate how I can't help it bu
The phone rang for the third time after I declined the first two calls from a caller ID registered as Andra. I am left with no choice but to sneak my way into Nicholas's room on the second floor. The Spencer's mansion is massive and the halls lead to different parts of the house. They didn't give me a proper tour around their humble abode. The only part of this place that I know as if it's the back of my hand is the second floor, Nicholas's room which is on the farthest side of the hall next to an arched window where natural lights come in each day and moonlight illuminates each night. I glance around the hall just to make sure that I am all alone before I knock once at the closed door of Nicholas's room. I waited for a few seconds before I raised my hand about to bang the door for the second time around when it opened. Nicholas revealed himself with a black tower dripping waiting for her that he is drying with a hand towel at the moment. I scanned him with my eyes once before I push
"Does it have to be him? I can drive you to Soho and wait for you too You should stop depending on him so much. I don't want to be in a marriage where it feels like you are a package deal and Nicholas comes with you," he said. Kairos stared at Nicholas like a reaper who was dying to bring him his demise while I stood in between the two of them puzzled. I don't know about the real Rory but one thing is for sure, her brother does care for her. I on the other hand am dependent on Nicholas because there are a lot of things about Rory and her relationship with people that I am not aware like her friend Andra and all those other friend that she has. To pull this Rory Spencer for a week challenge effortlessly. I need someone by my side who knows Rory like the back of their hand and that's not Kairos. "What the hell is wrong with him? He acts like a jealous boyfriend," I muttered under my breath once I was sure that Kairos wouldn't be able to hear those after he walked out on me and Nicholas
