Married To A Powerful Domineering Billionaire

Heaven’s Sent

ERIC’S POV

I sat in my office going through a few files that I had neglected for a while, but no matter how much I tried to concentrate and get pending jobs done, it just was difficult to focus. I was stressed from trying to cancel a deadly deal Mr. Lawn had made, and both from work. And it didn’t help that I had my little wife at the back of my mind. Thinking about her, I reclined on the headrest of my swivel chair, reflexly rolling the ball of my pen in the air.

After my first encounter with her that night when she had offered her little self to me, my entire existence had changed. I had been there at the hotel on a work break as if that was ever possible. Work just keeps following me around no matter what I do, or where I go.

I had just concluded an impromptu business meeting and on returning to my suite, a small figure bumped hard into me, her head colliding into my chest. With a frown of displeasure, I looked down at her honey-blonde hair. She pulled slightly away from me, and I had been captivated the very moment her hazel eyes locked with mine. She looked like she had been crying. Her eyes were a slight shade of red and a bit teary. And from that very moment, I had been captivated.

I still can’t tell for what reason it was that I had been drawn to a small strange woman. Probably it was because of the innocence her gentle eyes possessed, or because she looked so little that I thought of her as a perfect submissive, even when I had never had a woman in my bed before.

I had noticed every one of her single moves and it had raised my curiosity as to why her eyes were teary. But then she had immediately flashed me a smile and in the next minute, she was acting all cute and naughty.

She didn’t look like one who would have even the faintest idea about sex, so, it had been both stunning and hilarious the way she acted while trying to seduce me, but, despite how silly it had looked, I had been turned on by that innocent face circling a finger on my chest, and that fact still kind of surprised me.

I took her to my room and we had sex. For the first time in many years, I slept peacefully all through the night. But when I woke up, she was gone.

A one-night stand, that was what it was, but I couldn’t get myself to forget her. She was the first woman I had had sex with, plus, I had slept undisturbed for the first time in many years, because of her.

For two nights, I had only rolled in my bed, reminiscing on how sliding into her had felt and how she had tasted. Plus, that blood I had seen on her side of the bed. She had been a virgin, little wonders she had felt so tight and almost impenetrable.

**Sighs**

Not that I thought about it, I was certain I had lost my mind. Marrying a woman I barely even knew, and all these strange feelings of possession and protectiveness towards her. And now, there was the desire to see her. I wasn’t missing her, was I?

Shit!

What were all these weird changes? Was this Grand Mrs. Lawn’s prayer at work?

**Sighs**

I pinched the skin in between my brows, gently giving my temples a massage. Then I picked up my cell phone from the desk and dialed a number. Before the second ring, the call was connected.

“Prepare the car,” I said to the receiver.

I got up and cleared my desk and as I made for the door, a quick knock came on the door and it was pushed open.

“Sir!” Louis my assistant bowed.

“Clear all of today’s schedule,” I told him and continued on my track, but then an idea came to my mind, and I stopped. “Tomorrow’s schedule as well.”

“Yes.” He bowed and escorted me downstairs.

“Stop at Lawn’s Villa first,” I told my chauffeur as he zoomed out of the office premises.

RAYNE’S POV

I wished I could leave already. Gatherings like this have never been my thing. Especially now that everyone had my topic on their lips. But, I was thankful that the attention was no longer on me. Elaina and Ann had succeeded in stealing all of it, and it marveled me how they managed the attention so well.

Elaina was a celebrity, being in the face of attention was something she did regularly, so she was quite good at managing the attention she received. That, I was envious about.

They were suddenly talking about their daughters-in-law and something else. I had long taken off my attention from their discussion.

“Lydia, I heard your daughter-in-law is expecting, congratulations.” Mrs. McCarthy, Bianca’s mother said and Mrs Lydia smiled.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“That’s true, thanks to my son and daughter-in-law, I’d have a little grandson or daughter running around the mansion soon, which makes me wonder, now that you have a daughter-in-law, Margaret, are we to expect an addition to the Lawn’s family any moment soon?”

That question was directed at Mrs. Lawn, but why did everyone have their attention on me? I glanced over at Mrs. Lawn and noticed her smile slowly disappear. These women were intentionally trying to hurt her through me, which made me wonder what the essence of associating with them was.

“You know Lydia. These things take time. Even you know that better than anyone else. I mean, your daughter-in-law only got to become pregnant now after four years of marriage. That was exactly how long it took you to conceive on your own marriage too.” She said, sipping the liquid from her mug.

I glanced at Mrs. Lydia, noticing her face turn red at Mrs. Lawn’s words. “You can’t rush a newlywed couple. They might not be ready to have kids yet. They’d have them when they’re ready.”

I looked away from Mrs Lydia’s embarrassed face, and saw Elaina winking at me. I stifled the urge to laugh. If there was anyone who understood face slaps and counter-attacks well enough, it was Elaina and me. When we were young, we read a lot of novels with them so we had an understanding.

“Margaret is so cruel. Did she have to say much to Lydia?” I heard someone ask.

“What? She was only protecting her daughter-in-law.”

“Hmm! The first voice snorted. “If she can’t even protect herself in a little gathering as this, then I wonder how she is the Lawn’s daughter-in-law.”

“She doesn’t even have a background, so what is there to protect? She shouldn’t be in a gathering as this.”

“Hey! Take it easy on the poor girl. She might not have had a background, but being married into the Lawn family is her new background.”

During these side talks, I felt my heart crumble. And I desired now more than ever to leave. And just like a prayer answered, I heard Eric’s voice.

“I’m here for my wife.”

I turned around at once, and there he was, standing at the entrance of the garden in a navy blue suit with his hair combed neatly to the side, making me wonder how he gets to look this perfect at all times.
