Hi guys! Just leaving this here, you can find Shatter Me, Cold (Ruthless Player) & Moth To His Flame on an**y**sto*r*ies, Re*a***d*in*k, & No**ve*l**a*go
I asked the Uber driver to park the car at the curbside of the Lux Hotelâwhere I'm meeting Colton. I got out of the car, my left hand going into my Louis Vuitton handbag as I glanced at the building entrance with excitement as though I could already see Colton's towering height.
âHere, keep the change,â
I walked away from the surprised driver, who thanked me, after paying for my ride with a hundred dollar note. I waved his thanks away, I was in a good mood. My excitement was the reason I couldn't wait for my driver or drive myself here, I thought an Uber would be faster.
My face hurts with how much I was smiling, Colton and I have been dating for four years and engaged for three weeks now. All arrangements for our wedding have been made. In three days time I'm going to become Mrs McPherson.
I walked into the hotel lobby,smelling the flowers in my hand. TheLux hotel belongs to my family. The building was one of the largest in Chicago. It's also where most of Colton's party meetings take place. As someone who is in the public office and running for mayor, Colton is a very busy man.
He's also a gorgeous, kind and charming man. It was no wonder he was called as the Prince charming of Chicago central by the Daily Chicago Newspaper. The people love him,the papers love him and I love him.
He's the kind of man every woman wants to get married to,smart, gorgeous,and charming. Lucky me. I know. He also has a very good heart. Though I wish he was open to a little bit of adventure in the bedroom department.
So far our bedroom play had been nothing but nonexistence, especially recently with all the preparations for the upcoming elections. Our sex position has always been missionary. I tried everything to lure, seduce and convince him into spicing up our sex life.
Keeping my natural shyness on the sides for the sake of our relationship, buying sex toys online, whips, vibrator, dildo. But to no avail. Unfortunately Colton hates all the kinky stuff I'll love to explore. In fact sometimes he made me feel dirty and ashamed, like I was a deviant or the spawn of Satan.
The last time I had taken my best friend Tessa's advice, and had bought the sexiest tiniest lingerie and leather handcuffs, then had tied myself up like a gift waiting for him to unwrap in our condo had been the most humiliating experience of my life.
While I had been waiting for him my imagination had been running wild, I could see it in my mind's eye, Colton would walk in, see me spread and tied for him, and become instantly craze with lust.
He would strip out of his clothes, spanked me for being a bad girl, tease me mercilessly with the toys, then he would fucked me six ways to Sunday. Unfortunately that never happened.
When Colton strode into our bedroom that night he had been shocked alright. Shocked and disappointed, and the way he looked at me with disapproval after he'd untied me. Made all the confidence I had mustered to shrivel inside of me and die a horrible death.
Then later he'd sat me down and asked if I'm not happy with our relationship, and asked me if he wasn't able to satisfy me sexually. I'd of course deny that, which was sort of true. In every three out of ten sex we had he'd manage to make me come with a little prompting, which was what had given me hope that things might change when we finally tie the knot for the better.
I thought maybe, just maybe someday I could convince him to try something new. That's if I manage to get my confidence back. Honestly after what happened last time I'm not looking forward to his disapproving stare.
My self confidence had suffered a huge blow and needed thorough therapy. No relationship is perfect. I've seen and heard that there are pros and cons to every relationship, for me as long as the pros outweigh the cons then I'm happy!
âHi Bel,Sam,â I greet the two women who just got out of the elevator. Belinda is a strong black woman in her late fifties and the current party leader of the New World Party(NWP) She's also a friend of my mother. Samantha is her PA.
âHi Gianna,here to see Colton I see.â
âYes, is he in? I called his phone but he wasn't picking up.â
âLook at you, so worried about him. You guys make me jealous sometimes. Make me miss my younger days,aah! to be young and in love!â she teased pointedly staring at the flowers I had bought for Colton. White roses! His favorite.
âWhat do you mean younger days? You don't look older than thirty! I bet all the men in NWP would love to date you, if they weren't afraid of you castrating them with that legendary temper that is,â I tease her right back, giggling at her feigned shocked face.
âYou take that right back, I'm a peace loving person, I'm seriously misunderstood,â she sniffed indignantly. Me and Sam snorted before we all burst out laughing.
âDon't let me keep you Gia, Colton is up in the conference room 3, he's probably on his way down, saw him with Becky in the hall,â Belinda said.
âRight, thank you, I will just go bring him out, otherwise he could spend the whole day speaking about politics,â I replied.
âBye Bel, Sam,â I added waving at them both before getting into the elevator.
âHave a good day Giaâ they both answer before the elevator steel door closes. Five minutes later I walk down the empty hallway towards the conference room.
I smiled as I imagined the look on Colton's face when I told him the surprise I have for him. Three weeks ago Colton had gone to Maya Daniel asking her for her support, he wanted her to join him on one of his campaigns.
Maya Daniel is the granddaughter of a reputable legendary philanthropist who is loved and admired in Chicago;he was one of the original families who had first settled here. Having her support or her joining the party was a sure way that almost guaranteed they would win the elections.
Fifty year old Maya had refused to join Colton's party, which had disappointed Colton greatly to the extent he'd been moping and unbearable for days. I didn't like it when he's like this. We always end up fighting.
So I decided to go convince her to at least give him a chance and listen to his proposal. I've met her a few times during one of the charity auctions my grandma sometimes attends. Somehow I managed to do it, luck must have been on my side. Because she agreed to meet up with Colton tomorrow at her family home. That was my surprise.
I twisted the door knob and pushed the door, my heart went cold even as blood rushed to my face in utter fury. Becky Colton PA was on her hands and knees on the long conference table, her ass open for all who walked in to see while Colton rail into her from behind, also half naked from the waist below.
Their moans and groans filled the large room, which in itself is a shock. I should have been able to hear them way before I walked in, how did I not? My head was in the clouds thinking of what Colton would want, how he would react, how happy he would be, that I didn't hear them fucking until I was staring right at them.
I wonder how many things I've missed while I was with him all this years, how many times he'd cheated on me, with whom he'd cheated, weather or not he took them to our apartment and fuck them in our bed,how many of his friends and mine knew of his cheating ways. How many of our hotel staff knew about this!
Something just shriveled and died inside me right then. I could deal with a lot of shit from a man. Betrayal is not one of them! I've been betrayed before. By the man I love most in the entire universe, a man I thought would never do wrong. But he'd betrayed me. My father had walked out on us, breaking my young heart. And now Colton!
Men were pigs! dogs! No, not dogs, at least dogs were loyal to you, loyal to their owners. Ha! I should have known my life wouldn't be any different than my mother's,my five aunts and grandma. Women of my family were cursed.
Cursed to marry men that didn't love them only their wealth, men that cheated on them, stole from them and abandoned them and their children. Or cheated on them three days before their wedding. That's me! In this case.
I swore that I would never be like them, never have to beg for a scraps of attention from any man, and had always thought I would die alone not marrying or having the life I'd imagined when I was very young, before I knew my family was cursed.
That was until I met Colton years ago and had fallen madly in love proving that I wasn't any different from either my mom, aunts or grandma, that I was in fact human. Meeting Colton had changed my perspective of men in general.
We had met in my last year of college, he'd been thoughtful, charming and supportive. I thought he was different, that he loved me and that he could never ever betray me.
Turns out I was a fool,a blind fool. Colton had just proven that I was right to not have trusted men before I met him. They were the absolute worst.
âAh fuck! Becky you're going to make me come, God baby you feel so good, I love you Becky!â
And that was it for me, at that moment I felt nothing except for cold. That coldness spread into every part of me until I trembled with it, I completely felt detached from everything. I mechanically raise my hand with the phone and started recording them, while Colton fuck Becky telling her how tight and sweet she was.
I needed irreparable proof, I couldn't see their faces, I needed to see that betraying bastard's eyes. So I decided to speak up.
âSurprise baby!â My voice was unfeeling deaden, Colton jerk away from Becky who also screeches and try to cover her ass, Colton open and closes his mouth like a fish out of water as sweat drips down his face. I stared at him, half naked with his pants and boxers down, his deflating cock shining with Becky wetness. I surprisingly felt nothing!
âGia! Oh my God Gia! Baby this is not what it looks like,I swear! I can explain. Let me explain. Baby you have to believe me I love youâŠthis is justâŠâ I couldn't listen to another word out of his lying mouth so I cut him off.
âOh please! Colton I understand, you never have to explain anything to me.â
âBaby I know you'll understand. You knowâŠâ
âYou only need to explain to them, baby!â I cut him off mockingly. It took a while for my words to pierce his dumb brain but finally I saw the realization in his eyes.
âWho's them? Gia what have you done?!â he asked, panicking. I smirk so coldly his face instantly blanched of all colors. He recognized the glint in my eyes and knew very well of my vengeful streak.
âWhy, the people of Chicago of course!â I had just shared the video of his betrayal to the whole world and ruined his whole career.
âGia! What have you done bitch? No! Please tell me you didn't do what I think you did!â he roared, coming after me. His intentions were clear, fortunately he trip and fell down. Asshole! He'd forgotten his pants were still around his feet.
âNothing you didn't deserve, bastard! Consider this as my parting gift, baby!â and with that I turned and left the cheating bastard forever my heels clicked clacked on the floor. He fucking broke my heart and I break his dream, take that bastard! Tit for tat!
