NovelHook/One Temptation/Chapter 23

One Temptation Chapter 23

I sit all alone and wonder why It's hard to go on without a heart It was his razorblade words that tore it apart The sound of a door swinging open caused me to jump. Aaron enters our bedroom. I didn't see him, but I can feel his presence behind me. The silence was the only thing he met when he opened the door. His arms wrapped around my waist, and he hugged me tightly His head is rested on my shoulder I can feel his breath on my neck I closed my eyes while looking upward and disparagingly shaking my head "I am sorry, I should not get mad at you, but I was so scared when I didn't find you in our house, you know last time what happened to you I... I almost lost you," He said curling his hands inward I closed my eyes sagging against his hard chest I looked at him, his I noticed his eyes widening slightly He comes near me, and his eyes shifted towards my lips His breath is fanning across my lips I closed my eyes, but nothing happens I am disappointed with this; I don't know why, but I like his touch, his caress, his everything. I looked at him, his gaze is directly meeting with mine. His gaze makes my knees tremble. "Please never do this again," He said while kissing my shoulder, his as his soft lips come in contact with mine My breath catches in my throat I looked back at him "I don't mean to snap on you, I am j..." Before he can complete his sentence I quickly hugged him and started crying Eliot, the first love he calls me whore today I never thought he will say this to me I am feeling so hollow and broken I never wanted to feel this feeling again But should I tell Aaron about today's incident, like me, he also has so many problems plus he is a businessman he has to look after his company as well. I can't burden my problem on him, I already give him lots of trouble. "Shh it's okay everything will get fine please don't cry," He said while soothing my back and kissing my forehead "No... No Aaron it's my mistake, you are right I always attract all problems to myself......." I swallowed and sobbed again silently Only if I go with security guards to that swing this can't happen, maybe I never meet that Eliot again, I thought crying so badly in Aaron's chest I bury my face in his broad muscular chest his smell of Cologne gives me peace he makes me feel safe "What happened why are you crying, eternity is anything happens to you while you are out from the mansion," He asked me, his eyebrows raising, and his lips pursing I shook my head while drawing my limbs close to my body smiling, by seeing that he cares for me gives me happiness But can't tell him about Eliot, not now, maybe later "N... Nothing I...... Just fell while swinging on the swing," I lied, trying to smile but failed as more tears fall from my eyes. "Are you sure," He asked me, still not convinced "Yes, believe me," I nodded at him He sighed, "okay take your medicines then sleep it's very important for you," He said while cradling me in his arms and carrying me towards our bed. He laid me there gently and pulled a soft duvet over my waist After some time, Hannah comes with a tray of my medicines and a glass of milk Aaron takes that tray from her and gestured her to go When she is gone, he pulled up medicines and makes me eat that with milk The taste of that medicine is like sour lemon after eating it. I made a face and Aaron chucked as his attractive jaw curved displaying a wide grin. "Um I see you are very worried about my pain of eating these bloody medicines," I said sarcastically "What... No, I enjoy this cute expression like a child on your face," He said sucking in a quick breath "Ugh you are Satan you know," I snapped while crossing my arms here I am eating these damm medicines which taste like hundred sour fruits and he is enjoying my Helplessness "Tell me something new, love," He said to me with a dismissive nod while squinting and a hard smile I glared at him by seeing my expression he stopped laughing, but still, his smile is on his face God this smile, this Damm smile "Okay, okay fine I will not laugh now sleep you need rest," He said to me while rolling his eyes "We will sleep and take rest," I said to him after all, he also needs rest he works as a machine "Okay, fine if you will sleep in this condition then accepted," He said with a long, inaudible sigh while laying down beside me He wrapped his arms around my waist, sending a sizzling sensation into my tummy My head is rested in his chest Soon, I was engulfed in the dark world of sleep ************* I woke up and let out a huge breath I need this sleep But soon, I noticed I was alone in bed. Aaron is not with me why where he is. Suddenly what happened to me in the morning incident comes to my mind, I Scraped my hand through my hair Quick breaths. I gasp to control my breath at the thought of Eliot. Did he harm Aaron? No, never He can't because security guards are here. No one enters the mansion without permission from the head of security. But where is Aaron, I sat up from bed and I am about to go out of our room; I noticed a beautiful box decorated beautifully with ribbons. Placed on the edge of our bed I quickly go towards that box and carefully opened it not to spoil its beautiful decoration When I opened it I gasped seeing the most beautiful thing ever it's very beautiful, unique champagne two-piece long dress When I look closely, a note is attached inbox I read it, it's written "for the most beautiful girl in universe wears it and comes to the garden of our mansion. Your Mr devil I chucked at this and looked away, smiling while pressing that note to my chest I quickly strip out of my dress and wear that beautiful dress which my husband bought for me how did he know my size Because it's perfect fitting in every curve of my body hugging like a second skin, I looked myself in the mirror it's the perfect dress for me the blouse of this dress is showing off my cleavage but it's okay I am going in front of my husband After wearing it, I noticed two boxes are also there in it when I opened them it's so beautiful floral design earrings and beautiful bracelet perfectly graced with diamonds I don't know why, but it made me feel he loves me. The things he does for me are so special and make me feel so special. I put on those beautiful diamond earrings and that bracelet but I prefer my long dark brown hair open, it's naturally curly but today I feel like straight it looks perfect with this beautiful dress so after straightening my hair it becomes longer, I quickly exit our bedroom towards our garden The fragrance of roses and lilies and tulips makes me feel so special I come and saw lights and lamps were hung on trees, pink and white color lites, And a table is placed in between the garden, with two chairs across it. Suddenly, I felt someone's arms around my waist, but I know it's my husband his Cologne smell makes me feel so good I smiled and leaned forward on his shoulder "Thank you so much, I know planned all this," I said "Do you like it," He asked little nervous it's so ridiculous seeing him, The Aaron knight is nervous, he is always so intimidating and confident when it comes to his business or anything but today he is nervous that I will like this or not "I love this," I said and kissed him on his cheek while I am still in his embrace, a slow smile formed on his beautiful lips "Come, let's feed you," He said while leading me towards our table and pulling out a chair like gentlemen for me. He looked so handsome in a blue fitted suit he wore a black shirt beneath it. I sat on a chair, and he sat across from me. He opened food, which is placed on the table and I can't express It's my favorite, chocolate cake, and red velvet cake, cheese pizza, and French fries, burgers My taste buds crawled into my stomach after seeing food, a feeling of breathlessness aroused in me He served me and I starts eating like an excited little girl who got her favorite Candy He laughed at this action and I felt his hand stroking a strand of my hair behind my ear because my hands were gripping pizza "How you got the idea of this," I asked while munching my favorite food "Remember, we made a deal with that. I will treat your favorite food if you will eat those medicines," He shrugged. And I shake my head, smiling he is an Orthodox businessman "So tell me about yourself," He asked suddenly raising his eyebrows I looked up at him "you already know everything about me Aaron, my parents, my maternal grandparents," I said while eating a slice of pizza "No, not about your family, but your past relationships. Did you have a boyfriend before," He asked and I froze there? "I......I used t......" my words drying up in mid as I blinked several times trying to process his words Did he know about Eliot, no maybe he just asked me randomly but if he got to know about Eliot meeting me this morning, and treating me badly, he might go after him what if Eliot harm him no I can't let anything happen to Aaron because of me no, suddenly my food chocked and I coughed hard "What happened you look pale suddenly are you alright," He said while coming towards my side soothing my back "N... Nothing I just don't want to talk about my ex-boyfriend now," I said while shaking my head in a slow "Oh, I see really or you don't want to tell me that you meet him this morning am I right," He said coldly while his muscles quivering Here, I gripped the hem of my dress so hard in my fist, folding my arm against my stomach.
