"Don't think that since you've slept with me, you deserve to be next to me. You're just like the bitch I slept with."
The heavy voice sounded so cold and pierced into the ears of a woman who was still on the bed, with her innocent body only wrapped by a thick blanket. She was staring at the sturdy, manly figure of the man in front of her who had been wrapped in a bathrobe. A faint, weakened look was clearly visible on her beautiful face.
"H-Hunter-" Adeline called Hunter's name in a low voice. The woman saw her own body looking so chaotic.
Her heart sank as soon as Hunter said such a cruel thing.
Hunter raised an eyebrow, looking at Adeline, who called out to him. The aura of a cold face shrouded in arrogance was evident on Hunter's face.
Now he stepped his feet closer to Adeline. For a moment, he remained silent with a gaze that could not escape observing Adeline's condition. The woman's hair was a mess. Even he clearly saw the reddish marks on Adeline's neck due to his actions.
"For what happened last night, let's just say we were just having fun. You were drunk and I was drunk. Once you get out of this hotel, there's no need to remember what happened last night," Hunter said coldly, with a sharp look in his eyes. "And If I said anything wrong about you, just forget it because I was drunk; I don't know what I did and said last night!"
Adeline's eyes began to turn red from holding back her tears as she heard Hunter's words. "Did last night mean nothing to you, Hunter?" she asked softly and sadly.
Yes, last night Adeline had only come to her family's dinner invitation. She came to the party with a broken heart. Exactly two days ago, She heard the news that Hunter was getting married to one of the famous American artists. That's what made her really down. All this time, she loved Hunter so much. Although the man always avoided her whenever Adeline approached him, she still loved Hunter Bennett.
Unexpectedly, when Adeline attended the dinner, she met Hunter Bennett, who was heavily drunk. From afar, Adeline looked at him, and it seemed that the man was not okay. Out of concern, she approached him to check his condition. And at the end of the night, now she was in the same bed by Hunter.
The thing that Adeline couldn't forget was how Hunter touched her.
The man's firm hands touched every inch of her body, exploring as if searching for the source of pleasure there. Starting from the nape of her neck, then playing directly on her most sensitive area, which gave a stinging sensation to her whole body. The man's thick lips devoured Adeline's thin lips, swallowing them gently while playing with her tongue savagely.
Adeline vividly remembered when Hunter worshipped the beauty of her body. Last night Hunter did it not just once. The man wanted her again and again.
****
In the last night, Adeline didn't protest when Hunter takes her to a room for the night. And when they boarded the elevator, her heart was pounding as Hunter kissed her neck, tickling her and seeming to wet her womanhood.
Adeline felt so hot and needy as Hunter kissed her neck, nipped her earlobe, and licked her nape. And when Hunter slightly bit her neck as he palmed her healthy breast, Adeline was lost in the burning sensation inside her belly. She felt her womanhood get wet more and more with what Hunter was doing, and she felt like she wanted him to touch her down there.
Adeline wanted Hunter to touch her and rub her wet mound softly. 'Oh, God.'
And when they entered the room, Hunter immediately took off her top as if he was very eager for her. She felt no shame as he took off her clothes one by one.
"So fucking beautiful," he said in a husky voice as he ran his hands over her body. They were full of admiration that was so foreign to her.
Hunter raked a hot and hungry stare over her naked body. "Your mine tonight, baby."
She nodded, desire consuming her. "Yes."
He stared intently into her eyes as if reading her soul. "Say it, baby."
Her gaze focused on his lips then she bit her own. "I-I'm yours, Hunter."
Hunter's breathing ragged as he cupped her face and brushed his lips against hers. "Good."
He claimed her lips and kissed her sweetly as if he was savoring the taste of her lips. While kissing, he guided her to sit on the edge of the bed, then he released her lips and knelt in front of her as if he was worshiping her.
"Hunter-"
"Shh..." He silenced her as his lips touched the valley of her breast.
She swallowed as her body was burning with heat from Hunter's caressing kisses on her body. And when his kiss landed on her belly, she was overcome, and a loud moan escaped her lips as his lips landed on her wet womanhood.
She uninhibitedly opened her thigh to give him more freedom to play with her pussy that needed attention from the man.
Hunter licked her clitoris, and Adeline moaned. And when she looked at Hunter, she could see on the man's face that he was enjoying what he was doing although he was drunk.
"Oh," she moaned as she bit her bottom lip. "That feels amazing."
Adeline's whole body seems to be delirious with pleasure, especially her femininity. Hunter's touch was intimate and scorching. And his kisses were full of desire and passion. And as he licked her pussy, Adeline felt confident and empowered.
There was a man kneeling in front of her while making her happy. Her confidence rose up. She forgot the hurtful words she had heard about her from him in the past days. She forgot the pain caused by Hunter who didn't love her at all. She forgot everything except the man who makes her happy now.
She tugged at Hunter's hair as each movement of his tongue became more passionate in her delicacy. Her foot lifted off the floor every time his tongue passed through the opening of her womanhood. Her body sagged as she moaned loudly. Her thighs trembled with every movement of Hunter's tongue on her womanhood, and she seemed delirious as the moans that escaped her lips got louder and louder.
And when she couldn't take it anymore, her body dropped down to the bed, and she screamed as her orgasm ripped through her body.
But she had not yet recovered from the pleasure of the orgasm he made her taste; he stood up and took off his clothes, and undressed her. He pressed a passionate kiss on her lips, to which she immediately responded.
She moaned when she felt his hands on her healthy breasts. And knowing her, her rich breasts were also big, and she looked at the man as he alternated his lips on both of her nipples.
It was like she was delirious with the taste of what Hunter was doing to her. It was the first time she felt it.
Hunter nipped and sucked her nipples, making her wet again. Every rotation of his tongue on her nipple was delicious, and she was weak while moaning in pleasure. Especially when he touched her womanhood which was still wet, her eyes were staring at the great taste of his finger playing with her clitoris, which made her even crazier.
"Oh! Oh, Hunter... Oh! Oh Yes!" She moaned louder and louder as Hunter caressed her gem. "It's so delicious ... oh, oh..."
Then Hunter started kissing her forehead while his fingers played with her clitoris. His lips fell on her cheek and on her lips. He also kissed her arms and hands. Then his lips reached her navel... her womanhood... her thighs... her knees down to her toes. His lips went through all of that while his hand was still on her womanhood.
Hunter's lips adored her body. He kissed and romanced her body like she was the sexiest woman in the whole wide world. And it was the most amazing feeling in the world.
Then the man's lips crawled up, towards her neck to behind her ear.
"You're so fucking beautiful," he whispered. "You are not ugly." His voice sounded husky, sexy, and soft. "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Yes, you are little voluptuous but that makes you beautiful in my eyes."
She was flattered and happy.
"Now, wrapped your legs around me, baby," he said and held her by the hips while kissing her on the lips, then whispered. "And be ready for my thrust."
She immediately followed what he said. She wrapped her leg around his waist, and she closed her eyes tightly and her nail dug into Hunter's back when he inserted his manhood inside her. There was no inhibition in every movement of her body every time she met Hunter's strong thrust into her womanhood. She welcomed each thrust with a loud grunt that filled the room.
And as the second passes, they both performed the ancient dance of all time. And together, they reached the peak of happiness.
Every moan that Adeline let out of her mouth was always mixed with a whisper of the name 'Hunter' even though he was drunk, but she knew that she had given her body for the first time to the man she really wanted and loved.
***
Adeline's eyes began to turn red from holding back her tears as she heard Hunter's words. "Did last night mean nothing to you, Hunter?" she asked softly and sadly.
A sardonic smile crossed Hunter's face as he heard what Adeline had asked.
A question that almost made Hunter laugh.
The next second, he lowered his head, tugged on Adeline's chin, and hissed, "You think just because we slept together, you have any significance to me? You're dead wrong, Adeline. What happened last night is no different from the nights I spend with the slutty women out there who I pay to keep me company."
As if struck by lightning, Adeline's body trembled to hear what Hunter said. Adeline's tears fell down her cheeks. A look of disappointment was evident in the woman's blue eyes. Devastated. Broken. Wounded. Three words that describe Adeline's heart. Hunter boldly equalized she was just like a cheap woman out there.
"B-But I love you, Hunter." Adeline said softly.
This wasn't the first time Adeline had said this to Hunter. Let's just say she had lost her mind. She was declaring love for a man who belonged to another woman. She had struggled to forget Hunter. And the truth was, she was unable to forget Hunter. The love was so strong in her heart. Moreover, the incident last night made Adeline so hopeful.
"Love?" Hunter grinned cruelly at the sound of Adeline saying the word love to him. A word he never wanted to hear. "Adeline, save your love. I don't need your love. What we did last night was just fucking. Besides, you know I'm getting married soon."
Adeline's tears continued to fall down her cheeks. She was sobbing. Hunter's words were like a knife plunging into the recesses of her heart. She should have known Hunter would never need her love. Chasing after him was futile. Because in the end, she would still be thrown into the open sea.
"Do you always treat all women like this?" Adeline asked in a voice that was so soft. The woman's gaze clearly showed fragility and deep disappointment.
Hunter shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "You're right. I treat all women the same. If I get bored then I'll find a woman that I can pay to spend my nights with. Well, even though I know it's your first time, I don't care, Adeline. In my eyes, you're just like any other woman I've slept with."
Adeline was almost at a loss for words. Her throat was constricted. The tears would not stop flowing. Hunter's words were like a whip that hit her hard. She desperately wanted to make her voice heard, but what should she say? Wasn't it obvious that Hunter considered her just like any other woman?
Hunter looked at Adeline, who had been crying non-stop. Hunter's cold, indifferent face was visible. The man did not care about the tears of the woman in front of him.
He stood up and put his clothes back on. Adeline was truly a disposable item, discarded and thrown away after being enjoyed.
Adeline flinched. The glow in her eyes seemed to fade to show her brokenness. There was nothing left. Hunter's words had broken her into pieces.
Now Hunter turned his body around, and he was about to walk away from Adeline. But suddenly...
"Hunter don't go...."
Adeline said pleadingly to him. Apparently, he moved and still had his back to her. His face was so cold. His eyes were sharp as if he was about to pounce.
The next second, he turned to look at Adeline out of the corner of his eye. "If you still want me, for today alone I can satisfy you as much as you want," Hunter undid his belt, and now Adeline was under him again.
"No, Hunter..."
****
Two months later...
Adeline threw up everything in her stomach. She had lost count of how many times she went back and forth to the bathroom. Her face looked pale. Sweat flooded her temples. Her head was heavy. Several times her body staggered almost falling. However, she immediately leaned her back against the bathroom wall to keep her balance.
She stared fixedly at a two-line tespack. Her eyes looked weak. She had taken a pregnancy test more than five times, and the results remained the same. Positive. There was a little baby in her womb.
Adeline's tears began to fall down her cheeks. What happened that night was that Hunter did not wear any safety. But She never thought she would carry Hunter's child.
Was it possible that the man would accept this child? Or did Hunter ask her to abort? She was on the verge of confusion mixed with devastation. She would never abort this pregnancy. Nor could she hide the pregnancy. Hunter had a right to know about her pregnancy.
"I have to see Hunter now. He has to know about my pregnancy."
Adeline wiped her tears as she was determined to tell Hunter. After all, he was the father of the baby in her womb. Even though she knew Hunter never wanted her, the blood that flowed into her fetus was Hunter's blood.
On the way, Adeline drove her car at an above-average speed. She wanted to arrive at Hunter's office as soon as possible. Until the moment Adeline's car entered a skyscraper in Manhattan; she immediately got out of the car and entered Bennett & Bennett Company. Hunter's firm was the largest law firm in America.
Adeline stepped into the company's lobby. She looked a little awkward as several people stared at her. There was fear in Adeline's heart if anyone recognized her.
However, when she stepped suddenly, she accidentally bumped into a woman, causing her cell phone to fall.
Adeline's face changed when she bumped into a woman. She hurriedly picked up the cell phone that had fallen on the floor and gave it to the owner.
"Miss, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. If your phone broken, I will replace it," she said in a tone that felt bad mixed with anxiety.
The woman gave Adeline an annoyed look. She took the cell phone Adeline gave her while saying coldly, "Next time use your eyes well!"
Adeline nodded and smiled. "I'm sorry again. I'll replace your phone if it does get damaged."
"No need. I'm not short of money," the woman snapped. Then she walked away from Adeline towards the elevator.
She seemed to take a deep breath when the woman she bumped earlier left her. Even though she intended to replace the damage to the woman's cellphone as a form of responsibility, she had no intention of demeaning the woman. However, apparently, her good intentions offended the woman she bumped into.
When she arrived at the floor where Hunter's office was, she let her eyes wander in search of Hunter's secretary. The floor was so large and spacious that it was a little difficult for her.
"Good morning, Miss. I'm sorry who are you?" the secretary politely asked Adeline.
"Ah, morning. I'm Adeline. I'm here to see Hunter. Is Hunter in the office?" Adeline asked with a friendly smile on her face.
"Miss, do you have an appointment with Mr. Hunter?" The secretary asked again.
Adeline was silent for a while. The look on her face began to change. Of course, she couldn't have made an appointment. Because if she contacted Hunter, then he would definitely ignore her calls.
"No, I haven't made an appointment yet. But I have something important to tell Hunter. Can you help me tell him that I want to see him?" Adeline said in a low, soft voice.
"Miss-" The secretary's words were cut off by the sound of the office door opening. Reflexively, she lowered her head when she saw Hunter step out. "Sir," she greeted politely.
Adeline's body froze as she watched Hunter walk out of the office with the woman she had bumped into in the lobby. Adeline's eyes began to show fragility as she saw the woman hugging Hunter's arm possessively. Without even having to ask, Adeline had already guessed the relationship the woman had with Hunter.
"You? Why are you here?" Hailey-Hunter's fiancée stared coldly at Adeline in front of her.
Adeline didn't move. She ignored Hailey's words as she looked deeply into Hunter's dark brown eyes. Even Hunter returned Adeline's gaze. Yes, for a few seconds, they gave each other an immersive gaze. A gaze as if implied full of meaning.
"Honey? Do you know her? Who is she?" Hailey asked in a tone of dislike mixed with jealousy as Hunter looked at the woman who had bumped into her earlier in the lobby.
"Nobody, just a stranger," Hunter replied coldly with an expressionless face.
Like being struck by lightning, Adeline's body almost collapsed when Hunter didn't admit to knowing her.
Adeline's eyes heated up. Tears were about to fall from her eyes. But she desperately held back her tears from spilling out. The man had broken her heart until there was nothing left.
"What Mr. Hunter Bennett said is true. We don't know each other. My purpose here was to use the services of his lawyer. But it looks like I have given up on my intentions. Sorry to bother you."
Adeline turned around and walked directly away from Hunter and Hailey, who was still standing in their place.
Just as Adeline turned her body around, her tears fell down her cheeks. She could no longer hold back her tears. But she did not let Hunter see her cry.
Hunter was still silent, watching Adeline, who began to move away from him. He seemed to feel something. But somehow, the man couldn't describe it.
"Honey, let's go. I have my wedding dress fitting today." Hailey pulled Hunter's arm, inviting him to leave.
Reflexively, Hunter broke his thoughts as Hailey tugged at his leg. In the next second, Hunter said nothing. He simply led Hailey away from his office. But deep down inside Hunter, he felt a little different.
***
Adeline staggered into the lobby of her apartment. She looked pale. Her eyes were puffy. Her beautiful face was clearly weak. The glow in her blue eyes had dimmed. Happiness was no longer in those beautiful eyes. All that was left was despair.
Immediately Adeline's tears fell down her cheeks. Every time she remembered Hunter, her heart would always be shattered into pieces. The man she loved so much was a man who treated her like a doll that was no longer worth wearing. Hunter threw her away like trash. That man had managed to destroy her until there was nothing left.
Adeline wiped away her tears. She confirmed in her heart that she was capable of raising the child in her womb. She didn't need Hunter to raise this child at all. With or without Hunter in her life, Adeline could live a life together with the child in her womb.
When She arrived at her apartment unit, she looked surprised because the door was open.
Adeline's face was a little panicked. She immediately entered her apartment. However, suddenly Adeline's face changed to find her father standing by, giving her a sharp look. Then her mother looked at her with reddened eyes as if she had been crying.
"D-Dad? Mom? Y-You guys are here? When did you come?" Adeline asked with difficulty. Her throat was constricted, and it was difficult to form words.
"Whose testpacks are these, Adeline?" Thomas - her father - shouted thunderously as he threw the five testpacks in his hand right into Adeline's face.
Adeline's face paled. Her eyes showed surprise when her father found her testpacks. "Dad, this is-"
"Don't you dare lie to me, Adeline!" Thomas snapped so loudly.
Adeline couldn't hold back her tears. She knew that no matter how hard she lied to her father, it was futile. Because eventually, both her parents would find out about her pregnancy.
"Dad..." Adeline fell at her father's feet in tears. "I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry."
Thomas's jaw tightened. His pair of irises eyes showed anger that could no longer be held back. "How dare you!" Thomas roughly pulled Adeline's hand away. He was about to slap his daughter, but Linda, his wife, immediately restrained Thomas's arm.
"Violence won't solve problems, Thomas!" Linda exclaimed with tears streaming down her cheeks.
Adeline cried in front of her parents. She knew she had made a big mistake. "Dad ... Mom ... I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
Linda looked softly at her daughter, who apologized. She was about to approach her daughter, but Thomas roughly pulled Linda's arm, making the middle-aged woman unable to approach her daughter.
"Answer me, Adeline! Who's the father of your baby!" Thomas cried, raising his voice.
"I-I'm drunk, Dad. I don't know that man. Please, Dad. I'm sorry." Adeline said softly. She didn't want to mention Hunter's name in front of her father. Adeline had decided to forget that name forever.
Thomas's pair of irises eyes grew sharper. His anger seemed to want to blow up the apartment. "Drunk? How could you sleep with a stranger, huh? Since when did you become a bitch, Adeline!" he boomed loudly.
Adeline sobbed even more at her father's harsh words. She didn't fight back. She knew she was at guilty. "I'm sorry, Dad. Really, I'm sorry."
"Abort that baby! I don't care who's the father of the baby in your womb!" Thomas exclaimed with an increasingly glaring gaze at his daughter.
Adeline's face paled. Her tears did not stop flowing. She shook her head firmly. "No, Dad. I can't kill my baby," she said with a sob. Adeline looked up at her father with a pleading look.
"I said abort your pregnancy, Adeline!" Thomas snapped loudly.
"Thomas, don't be like this. The baby in Adeline's womb is innocent," Linda exclaimed with tears in her eyes, staring at her husband's pleas.
Thomas squeezed her hair roughly. His face looked so frustrated. The middle-aged man clenched his fists tightly. Closing his eyes eased the emotions that were bottled up inside him.
"Fine, if you want to keep your pregnancy then you have to do as I say!" Thomas stared intently at Adeline. A growl of anger was visible.
"Wh-What, Dad? What do I have to do?" Adeline asked softly.
"Marry the man I choose for you," Thomas said with emphasis.
Adeline's tears flowed even harder at Thomas's request. The woman stepped back. She shook her head firmly. "No! I don't want to marry anyone! I can raise this child on my own!"
Thomas stared at Adeline intently. His anger was further fueled when Adeline refused his orders. "If you refuse, then I'll make sure you lose everything. The fortune your mother and I gave you will be gone! You raise that child alone without anyone's help!"
"Fine, Dad. I won't use a dime of your money or Mom's money. I'm going to leave all the things I got from you guys. I'm sorry that I embarrassed you," Adeline said with a fragile smile.
She immediately ran away from her parents. Linda was about to chase Adeline, but Thomas roughly pulled Linda's hand, restraining his wife from chasing their daughter.
