Pampered Like A Princess

She lay there motionless, waiting to be subjected to anything Edward had in store for her.

She didn’t resist because that would only fuel his carnage desire and lust. She’d rather be a cold, asexual maiden than become the object of Edward’s primal instincts.

He would eventually let go of her when he was done.

“So obedient?” Edward gazed into Nelissa’s eyes.

Nelissa shot him a blank stare and replied, “I owe you for it.”

Nelissa had decided that if Edward really wanted to bed her in the car, she wouldn’t resist. She still needed the money.

However, when faced with the raw, uncaged ardour of Edward, it still struck fear into her heart. The thought of Edward manhandling her as he pleased made her really anxious.

In a dramatic twist, Edward suddenly paused and let go of her hand. He got out of the car amidst the burning passion to satisfy his desire.

He stood in the garage and looked up at the moon. It seemed like he was reliving the moments he had in the car.

Nelissa regained her composure and exited the car soon after.

Her face was still bright red when Edward suddenly said, “I hope you will not answer any of his calls again.”

“Okay.” Nelissa nodded in response. She would never answer Zayden’s calls in front of Edward again.

“My coat is in the car, get it for me.” Edward then went into the house.

Nelissa then scurried back to the car and rummaged through the back seat. She found the coat, shut the door and trailed behind Edward into the house.

The coat was exceptionally heavy in her arms. Perhaps the shock a while ago had drained all her energy.

Nelissa turned on the lights and suddenly remembered something.

She asked wearily, “Is your girlfriend going to show up tonight?”

“No,” Edward replied.

He looked at Nelissa, seemingly trying to undress her with his eyes.

Nelissa thought that the tight jeans and t-shirt she wore that night would serve as a catalyst for his lusty desires. Her curvy body was totally on display.

Edward couldn’t get over the mind-boggling effect of having Nelissa squirming beneath him.

He then walked towards her and said, “Nelissa, I actually really like your kids.”

What did that mean?! Nelissa’s face turned pale. Edward’s figure suddenly grew in size as she envisioned him taking away the twins from here.

Nelissa wrapped her arms around herself in fear. She grasped the coat in her hands to act as a meaningless shield from the invasive presence.

“Are you going to hold on to that coat forever?” Edward interrupted her.

Nelissa snapped back into reality. Edward was standing there with his slender arms extended towards her.

Edward was amused by her. He took the coat and looked into the kitchen, saying, “I’m hungry. Go make dinner.”

“Okay…”

Nelissa nodded. Edward walked up the stairs and the light from the stars cast a shadow onto Nelissa. She was still caught in a daze, her knees buckled and she almost fell to the ground.

Nelissa was nervous. Did Edward realize something? Maybe he found out that Nathan really looked like him?

It couldn’t be; he must be messing with her!

Nelissa bit her fingernails out of habit and she swore she could still smell Edward’s cologne on it.

She knew that if Edward found out the twins belonged to him, he would definitely exert his influence and power to take them away from her. He definitely wouldn’t be so flirtatious and sensual like before; it would just be brute force.

But it was apparent that she was just thinking too much.

She looked at the clock and got out a pair of slippers from the cabinet just like before. It was all men’s slippers.

Nelissa couldn’t believe it; why doesn’t Edward have a single pair of women’s slippers when he had a girlfriend?

What kind of relationship they shared anyway?

Nelissa then made her way into the kitchen. She opened the fridge to scour for some ingredients.

Sophie and Edward’s relationship was none of her business. He was the most influential young man in Haleston City and Sophie was also the most famous woman in the city. They were perfect for each other.

She quickly whipped out a couple of dishes and waited for Edward. She even stewed a soup that would help with his energy. Edward seemed really tired and the soup might help her in negotiating for more money.

Nelissa knew that beggars can’t be choosers. She needed Edward’s help and to do everything to please him. She didn’t have the luxury to make any arguments right now.

She then carried a bowl of soup up the stairs. Judging from the previous experience, Edward took ages in the shower. She wanted to make sure that Edward would be able to taste her food fresh.

She knocked on the door. She could still hear splashing sounds coming from the bathroom; Edward was still in the shower.

Nelissa reached for the doorknob; it wasn’t locked. She entered the room and she immediately felt like she was in the solemn presence of a king. The entire room was dark and ominous, the smell of cologne permeated every corner.

She placed the bowl of soup on the dresser and sulked in dismay at the scattered clothes on the floor. She then started to pick up the items…

The clothes seemed to still bear remnants of Edward’s masculine essence as she ran her fingers through the shirt. She could feel his warmth diffusing through the very fabric of the shirt.

Edward got out of the shower and saw Nelissa; she was sitting in the center of the dark room folding his clothes. She was like a beacon of glowing light amidst the neverending darkness.

Edward could find stimulation in the simplest of her actions, for instance, when her folding his clothes. His eyes hovered across her fair arms as they slowly and seductively came into contact with his shirt.

Nelissa felt an invasive gaze peering at her. She turned and met with Edward’s daze.

Was he angry? Maybe he hated people touching his stuff?

Nelissa murmured, “I made you some soup. Have it while it’s hot and… I saw the clothes were scattered on the ground, so I…” She looked left and right, avoiding Edward’s gaze as she explained herself.

Suddenly, Nelissa was pulled upwards.

“What a good girl. What reward do you want?” Edward said.

Nelissa calmly responded, “I want two hundred and sixty thousand dollars.”

“Nelissa, you are one sly minx.”

Edward sat down on the couch and took a sip of the soup. He was wearing a bathrobe and he was really well-endowed.

Even the way he sipped the soup was full of elegance and charm.

“You made me soup, dinner and folded my clothes. What are you going to do next?”

Nelissa bowed her head. She began fidgeting her fingers in anxiety; however this was all adorable in Edward’s eyes.

She sat down on the other end of the couch and said, “You’ve been a great help to me; I will definitely repay the kindness. I’m not a heartless person.”

Was she implying that he must lend her the money or assume the mantle of a heartless person?

Edward giggled slightly and gulped down the soup. He licked his lips as he said, “I like my soup sweet.”

Nelissa nodded. She felt her lips tingle as if they were telepathically connected to Edward’s. “Okay, I will remember to sprinkle some sugar next time.”

Edward was pleased. He got up and went to his study table. He opened a drawer and took out a cheque. “This is for you.”

Nelissa took the cheque; it was a cheque for three hundred thousand dollars.

Nelissa looked at Edward puzzled. Did he have the cheque ready in the drawer all this time?

Edward was clearly enjoying messing with her.

Nelissa held it down. She was indeed at his mercy, and that was his money. But it didn’t matter; that money was for Mary.

However, she was really grateful nonetheless. “Thank you so much for the help. I will write you an IOU, I will pay back the money as soon as I can.”

She didn’t want to owe him too many favors.

It would be disastrous if she did! She would be in his debt and under his domination indefinitely.

Edward watched on as Nelissa wrestled with the thoughts in her head.

He handed her a pen and said casually, “Should I charge you interest then?”

Nelissa was stupefied. She took the pen and stared into blank space.

Three hundred thousand dollars alone would take her years to pay off. If there were interest being charged, she would probably be in debt to him for the rest of her life!

“Master Hales, you’re determined on making my life a miserable one, aren’t you?” asked Nelissa, with a sarcastic tone.

She was worried that Edward would intentionally jack up the interest rates.

“Yes,” Edward replied.

He then leaned in and whispered, “I want to suck you dry.”

The words were like an aphrodisiac coursing through her veins. She felt her face ignite with steam.

Edward was teasing her again. She didn’t respond to him but looked at IOU she wrote.

Edward looked down and had a clear, unobstructed view of Nelissa’s chest. He could see her collarbone, voluptuous chest and gentle skin in all their glory.

“Take a look.” Nelissa passed the IOU to Edward. Her face shone in the moonlight like an angel from heaven.

Edward read the IOU. Right then, he realized that Nelissa’s handwriting was professional and emanated a sense of mature feminism, much unlike her real self.

“However, do remember that even if you pay me back the money, you still owe me a favor.”

Edward wasn’t very generous with favors.

Nelissa had been working for more than five years; she knew that a simple favor from someone as high profile as Edward would be a huge deal. It wasn’t easily repayable.

However, she reckoned that she could plead with him to let her off the hook and not overwhelm her with his ‘favor’.

“Remember that, okay?” Edward was unsympathetic.

“Yes,” Nelissa replied weakly regardless.

“Good.” Edward then held her hand firmly and stood up. “Let’s go have dinner then, I’m starving.”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

There were a plethora of dishes on the table. Edward was a very picky eater; he didn’t fancy the food made by the chef outside.

Eliza had also gone through countless experiences to finally navigate herself through Edward’s complex palate. However, she would still screw up from time to time.

Maybe Edward was biased, but he felt that Nelissa’s dishes were right up his alley. He was positively delighted that evening.

“Stay here for the night. I’ll send you back tomorrow morning.”

Nelissa nodded habitually but shook her head right after.

“It’s okay. I’ll take the bus home tomorrow. I saw a bus stop not very far from here.”

“Are you planning to dump me right after you got the money?” Edward hissed.

Nelissa was shocked. Of course she didn’t have the balls to do that.

“I tried waking you up that day but you seemed very tired. I assumed that you weren’t used to waking up that early. I just don’t want to trouble you.”

Nelissa praised herself inwardly for her brilliant save.

However, the story wasn’t totally false. That morning, Edward wasn’t just fatigued; he was totally grumpy as well. If it wasn’t for the password, Nelissa wouldn’t have ever woken him up in the first place!

“I don’t usually wake up so early in the mornings. It will affect my mood. Wake up later tomorrow, Eliza will make you breakfast. We will leave after that,” Edward reminded Nelissa.

“I want to go home earlier and see my twins,” Nelissa insisted.

Edward scowled. He felt jealousy brewing in his heart and was on the verge of anger.

Did she choose the twins over himself? Zayden’s kids?!

“How old are they?” Edward asked coldly.

Nelissa was on guard. Why was he asking about that? He had never shown interest in her personal life besides Zayden.

Nonetheless, she answered, “They are three nearly four.”

“I thought your friend was still at home with them? You don’t have to worry so much about them. They need to learn to be independent,” Edward said, shutting down this topic of conversation.

But she was their mother! It was natural for her kids to rely and miss her! Edward’s envy for kids really was on another level.

However, she couldn’t possibly say that out loud. She didn’t want to argue with him any further.

She would rather go home late then risk any more prying from Edward about the twins.

He couldn’t find out too much.

She couldn’t imagine what this man would do if he found out the truth. But at least Edward seemed like he didn’t even notice that Nathan looked like him.

Maybe, children were the only thing that Edward couldn’t grasp!
