18+ MATURED CONTENT!!! IF YOU FIND THIS TOO SENSITIVE, PLEASE DO NO READ. HEAVY LANGUAGE INCLUDED. –BLURB I could still feel his eyes ransacking my face and I know his eyes were more interested on my lips. His thumb brushes lightly on my lower lip that was still held captive by my teeth, releasing it. "I don't have a big mouth", I managed to say as I looked at him, regretting it. I could see his jaw tightened and his eyes grow darker. If I didn't know the type of maniac he was, I would have said he looks interested in me, but I know him. "Oh you do love... and I imagine how it would look around my hard cock, moving up and down, just like the way you saw Irina do it last time", Nikolai said. I gasped in shock at his words. Of course I remember that day! "You have no shame, do you?!", I asked in annoyance and all I could hear after that was his loud laughter. I swear this is the first time I have seen him laugh. "You're right my Kukolka, I have no shame... that's the only way to rule this world", he concluded and left me there.
1❤️: ARE YOU CHECKING MY BOYFRIEND OUT?!
LILY POV:
I don't know why but I felt strange just being at parties like this and to make matters worse, my dad is calling me non-stop, asking me where I am.
"Papa, can I call you back. I can't hear you ", I said to my over protective father.
"Princess, why is it too noisy there?!", My dad asked.
"I'm at Stephanie's birthday party, remember?", I replied.
I told him about this party since last week and he agreed for me to come, but he wasn't at home when I left.
I tried calling him but he didn't pick up, I guess he was busy with work.
My dad is a detective, he has been stuck in one particular case for months now, that's so unlike him.
He's one of the top 5 best detective in the country but he keeps a low profile.
Unlike other cases he solves in a week or highest 2 weeks, this one case has been on his shoulders for more months he could count. Something about some Russian mafias and human traffickers or something like that, I'm not interested in that.
Me and papa talked for a while before hanging up, not before promising to be back home by 11pm.
He said 8pm but I'm good at bargaining!
It's just pass 6pm, how does he expects me to leave in two hours time.
Stephanie is one of my very close friend, I've known her since highschool, she's turning 24 years old today and her boyfriend threw her this birthday party.
"Lily!", I heard my name from the crowd of the sweaty party goers.
I turned around to see it was Olivia, my best friend from since we were 4 years old.
"Ollie!", I ran and hugged her.
We were supposed to get ready and come here together but she had something to do. I don't know what, but that's what she said.
We were still hugging when I sighted Troy, my boyfriend, just few steps behind Olivia.
I let go of Olivia and ran happily to him, pouncing on him, He caught me with the same manner of happiness, swirling me around.
But I noticed he smelt different.
"New cologne?", I asked just to be sure.
He immediately stopped and put me down, smiling down at me.
"I'm happy to see you too", he said to me, kissing me on the lips.
There, I perceived it again, his 'new' cologne.
"I'm sorry babes, I am happy to see you", I said to him, dropping the thoughts about the new cologne.
Troy has been acting weird the last few months, I talked to him about it and he said he was busy with school. He is 25 years old and in college.
I also talked to my best friend about Troy's recent behavior and she said I was just being paranoid.
Maybe I was, I don't want to doubt my boyfriend, we've been dating for two years now and he is the love of my life.
Troy continue to kiss me and I tried to match his speed, he was a really good kisser.
He kissed my cheeks down to my neck and my collar bone.
I was wearing a red spaghetti strap satin dress that stopped at the middle of my thighs. I didn't want to wear this but Olivia insisted, according to her, 'It suits your pale skin'.
"You look incredibly beautiful in this dress babe", Troy said in-between kisses.
I was feeling hot already, not from the crowded place but due to Troy's magical kiss.
"Ehhem!" I heard Olivia's voice followed by Troy's disappointed low growl, 'fuck', he whispered.
"So I can't have my best friend for just one night? You just got here but you're already swallowing her", Olivia said to Troy.
"Get yourself a boyfriend!", Troy said back.
"Ollie! let's go say hi to the birthday girl, okay?"
I know fully well that if I didn't intervene, these two would start bickering and I don't have the strength to listen to them.
I love them both individually but, putting them together in a room is a nightmare, nonstop arguments.
I met Troy at a party that Olivia dragged me to. He was really cute and he kept staring at me.
I was getting harassed by a drunk man and he saved me, it felt like something straight out of a fairytale, my Prince Charming.
It felt like love at first sight and we've been inseparable since then.
"Ollie?", I called out to my distracted best friend.
"Hmm", She replied absentmindedly.
She was busy staring at something... or someone, I don't know.
"There is something bothering me!", I tried to yell loud enough for her to hear me over this loud music and noisy people.
"Which is?", She asked, still not paying attention to me.
My eyes followed her line of sight and I caught her staring at... Troy?!
'What?!', I can't be just paranoid now. She's looking at my boyfriend with eyes filled with admiration or... lust?
"Olivia! Are you looking at Troy right now?!" I asked seriously.
That was when she snapped right back at me, finally looking at me.
"Eww no!! The fuck do you mean Lily?!", She became defensive.
"I just caught you staring at Troy, checking him out!", I was certain of what I saw.
I don't know what was wrong with me, I didn't have much alcohol because my father would kill me for drinking even though I'm a full adult.
I have never outwardly accused Olivia for admiring my boyfriend, in fact I am aware of the obvious that they both dislike each other, with Olivia being more vocal about it.
"I am not staring at your boyfriend, I'm staring at the hot dude he's talking with!" , Olivia said.
I immediately looked back at Troy's direction and yes, he was talking to someone, Chase, from the same college as Troy.
'Fuck!', I cussed inward.
"What the fuck is wrong with you girl? Why would you accuse me of something very stupid and disgusting?! You know fully well that I am not interested or attracted to Troy! You know how I dislike him", Olivia tried explaining herself and I felt like shit.
I felt horrible for distrusting my best friend.
She was right, even when Troy and I were seeing each other, she would be like, 'I hope it's not that guy from the club last time?', and I would just giggle.
Now I feel like shit!
"I can't believe you Lily", Olivia shook her head and just walked pass me. I tried to stop her by grabbing her hand but she avoided my hand.
"Oh God, I-I'm sorry Ollie... OLLIE?!", I tried calling out to her and following her but she was lost amongst the crowd.
"BABE?! babe!", I heard Troy call me several times but I couldn't turn around and look at him because I feel shitty already. Looking at his beautiful blue eyes would make me feel even shittier.
"Babe! I've been calling you--", Troy caught up to me and with smile on his beautiful face, he held me by my waist and I felt like crying.
"Yea, I h-heard, I uhm... I was a l-little distracted".
"What happened? you're stuttering", I heard him say.
"Nothing really, I just feel h-hot in here, too hot".
"Yeah? Let's go outside and get some fresh air", He said and took me by my arms and was about to take me away from there.
"No", I said, yanking my hand out of his grip and that left him even more perplexed.
"Babe? Is anything t-the matter?", I could hear the concern in his voice.
"No, nothing actually. I-I would go by myself, honestly I'm fine... Uhmm, I'll go to Stephanie and Olivia, don't worry about me, enjoy the party!", I said, smiling with all my teeth, hoping he wouldn't notice how uncomfortable I was feeling.
"Okay, just be careful", he said and left.
'Phew!', Thank God he bought it, 'Now, I need to find Olivia and apologize to her', I said to myself and with my purse clung tight to my shoulder, I struggled through the sweaty party goers in search for Olivia.
***
"Ollie?! OLIVIA!!", I called out through the crowd, hoping she would hear me or better still, answer me.
I knew she was mad at me, I was mad at me too.
'Stupid, stupid mouth!', I whispered, smacking my mouth with my hand.
"Have anyone of you seen Olivia?",
"No",
"Stacie! have you seen Ollie?",
"Sorry, no",
"Hey dude! seen Olivia around here?",
"Not really, no".
I asked around and I got the same negative answers.
I checked everywhere for her, upstairs, the basement, the pool, the living room everywhere, I even walked in to some couples having sex! I still couldn't find her.
Someone hugged me very tight from behind, I flinched from the sudden hug and the intense smell of alcohol.

"I want a divorce Noah", I said to him. My heart beating and knees weak. I was scared of how he would react. 'He should be happy right? I mean I am giving him a way out of the bondage of a marriage', I said to myself. Noah expression darkened and I could see his jaw tighten. He stood up and took slow steady steps towards me with both hands in his pocket. I immediately got scared and moved backwards. Noah Wellesley isn't the abusive type but he hates me to the bone, I wasn't sure what he is capable of. "Wh-what are you doing?", I asked, still moving backwards. Before approaching him for the request of divorce, I promised to be strong and not to let him intimidate me but... he is Noah Wellesley, the only man I have loved, and maybe still love. "What did you say?", He growled and I flinched. "I want to end this sham of a marriage, shouldn't you be happy?!", I suddenly found the courage to speak back. "And what makes you think I would be happy if we divorce?", He uttered and my brows furrowed. What did he mean by that? I stopped moving and he soon caught up to me, his eyes dancing on my lips and I saw the hidden feelings in his eyes. 'Why is he like this?', I asked myself.
Linsey was stood up by her groom to run off with another woman. Furious, she grabbed a random stranger and declared, "Let's get married!" She had acted on impulse, realizing too late that her new husband was the notorious rascal, Collin. The public laughed at her, and even her runaway ex offered to reconcile. But Linsey scoffed at him. "My husband and I are very much in love!" Everyone thought she was delusional. Then Collin was revealed to be the richest man in the world. In front of everyone, he got down on one knee and held up a stunning diamond ring. "I look forward to our forever, honey."
To the public, she was the CEO's executive secretary. Behind closed doors, she was the wife he never officially acknowledged. Jenessa was elated when she learned that she was pregnant.

When they met again, Ryan's attention was caught by Jenessa's protruding belly. "Whose child are you carrying?!" he demanded. But she only scoffed. "It's none of your business, my dear ex-husband!"
"Is it considered betrayal to develop feelings for your best friend's boyfriend? What about when fate intervenes, and he turns out to be your destined mate? You might think it's luck and thank the moon goddess for such a twist of fate. That's what I believed until the love of my life uttered those dreaded words: 'I want a divorce!' As I stared at the pregnancy test in my hands, I realized it was better to keep my secret to myself. My name is Violet, and this is my story."
"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
