RHYS Two weeks and a day. That was how long it'd been since Stella and I last talked. The morning I dropped her off at the academy. She no longer allowed me to give her morning or evening rides, or respond to chats, or even give me attention. She avoided me in every manner. I begged Sophia to get lost but she insisted on staying, for reasons I couldn't fight against. “We have a deal, remembChapyer 39: The PriceRHYSThe stock issue had died down. I'd settled it but I realized something—It was never meant to take control of my company…rather it was a warning.From no one but K. Alessio K. The bastard I'd shot thrice with my own hands, ten years ago. I had enemies. I've always had enemies—the ones who would give everything up for my head. Just like Alessio, Taylor, and other governors who belonged to brotherhood groups like I used to. I wasn't mad at Blaze. If there was anyone I'd believe without second thought, it was her. I trusted her but that night, I realized something: I couldn't be around her anymore. I'd only attract danger which would eventually take her from me. Since Alessio’s last interference with my company's major shareholders, my boys had been hell-bent on asking for a reunion. I didn't want to….I’d sworn I would never. I wasn't scared of Alessio… I was only trying to be a better person—and protect her from scumbags like him. Alessio had nothing
Chapter 38:STELLASike!I hate Dylan. I scribbled his name down on my draft paper but God, I didn't hold back. I craved his on the paper while I couldn't help but faintly imagine it was his heart. I didn't care if I damaged the fabric beneath it. I grabbed my phone and texted him.I knew it was the last thing to have done but no matter how hard I thought, it was the only option I had left—face the attacker. “Meet me there by seven. "I hit the ‘Send’ button on my phone, letting out a sharp breath as I headed outside the academy. I couldn't panic. He texted back, agreeing to be there, even though he was curious as to why. Rhys was here to pick me up at the academy and for a minute. Oddly, my chest tightened. “Rhys," I said his name awkwardly, settling in the car. “You shouldn't have come, Rhys. I'm sure you—" “Shh" he husked, pinning his index against his lips. “You know I wouldn't let someone else take you home. I'd do it all by myself” He smiled. God. My mind couldn't str
Chapter 37: A Side To Him.RHYSI was heading to the executive boardroom. I called for an impromptu meeting yesterday, after the news about the anonymous buyer broke on the internet. “Sir, please, you cannot act impulsively," Lewis, my secretary, pleaded softly as he managed to keep up with my pace. He'd just returned from the branch in Canada yesterday as well and since last night, he'd been hellbent on one thing: “It will affect the decision of the stakeholders" “This is not impulsive, Lewis" I said firmly as I slowed my pace, a few feet away from the door. “It's corrective." “But sir—" “Lewis" I called his name over my shoulder. That was enough warning. I was done, hearing this protective bullshit from both him and even Shawn himself. I could handle it. It was my company, and I would address issues however I wanted. That was final. I pushed the door open, walking in as if I'd just been nominated for an award. I didn't greet. There was no time and obviously, no need for g
Chapter 36: D’Ace ResurfacesRHYSOne thing I would never do was allowing a scumbag like Louis, move an inch around Blaze. God forbid. Before now, I'd warned him severally…even met him one on one. Just to make myself clear. Stay the fuck away from her. But not surprisingly, he was only perfect àt two thing: Crossing boundaries and disobeying orders. I was going to spare him. I swear it. But the moment his lips grazed her cheeks when he claimed he was bidding goodbye, I lost the reins. I had to teach him a little lesson—just enough to remind him I was way out of his league. I gave him just one injury. Just ONE little injury to remind him to never cross me.He'd remember me every time he tried to run. I'd only put a phone call to Ken, an old friend who was playing at the NFL in The States, and they a match against each other. Ring.
Chapter 35: His Doe STELLA Again, I fucked my ex-husband’s stepbrother, and there was nothing to be sorry for. I hated it too... but just as much as I wanted him. Rhys had helped me wash up in the bathroom, running warm water over my skin, scrubbing my thighs with care, and even—against my own self-control—sliding a finger inside me again. Seven orgasms in a row. Seven heart-stopping, mind-numbing, sweet explosions. I’d never felt anything as ecstatic as that. While the early sun rays penetrated the window, I rolled to the side of the bed but didn’t reach for him. His warmth lingered in the sheets, in the smell of him, in my own trembling skin—but he was gone. The bed felt emptier than it should. It was morning already. I yawned, stretching, feeling a curious surge of energy pulse through me. Was it just afterglow? Or the adrenali
Chapter 34: Six Rounds Of FireRHYS“Rhys" She breathed my name out of her lips as soon as our lips pulled apart. God. Her voice twined its way to my control system. I gently placed her on the bed, one hand on her waist and the other crawling under her sweatshirt. “I know we both want it so much. I won't hold back today”Fuck it. It was hard to free my mind from the urge to fuck her like a beast, and watch her take me inside her. All of me. I yanked her panties off and helped her pull her legs out of them. “Damn it, baby. Look how much she knows, Daddy," I leaned in to kiss her on her wet pussy. She bit back her moans, her fingers wrapped around my hair like she could predict my next move. I caressed her swollen clit slowly, letting the signal rush to every part of her. I wanted to explore her body fully, in ways no one had ever done. “What's the highest number of times you've orgas
Chapter 24: Lust Without Reins STELLA Three weeks into being thirty two, I now lived in Rhys Adrian's villa, one of the biggest mansions in town. I didn't want to cross into his house now that we we
Chapter 23: A Wish STELLA Three months ago, a quit notice had been served to all tenants of our residence and this morning, a quit reminder had been shared again. I glared at the paper in my hand. I had been searching for a
Chapter 22: “For you, I'd lose everything." RHYS Blaze. That name suited her in every way a man could think of. I walked side by side with her till we got to the apartment block. We were still neighbours. “Are you good, Blaze?" I asked her, my hand finding her shoulder gently as I guided her in
Chapter 19: “Fate, You Say?" ~STELLA~ My ex-husband’s half-brother was the neighbour who'd moved in beside me. It was a whole lot to deal with. Since yesterday morning, I'd tried everything possible to avoid him. Being indoors all day was the eas
