Bitter sweet

{Warning} 18+

She must have been really blind, anyone could clearly see through his plan, but why did she fall for such a person without even noticing it?.

For an uncle who doesn't know how you've been doing even when you lived in the same house almost all your life. But suddenly he starts showing interest in you when you get married to his business rival. Isn't that enough for someone in his or her right frame of mind to be suspicious?

" Uncle, you were only able to make use of me because you know how much I want my family's affection, but not anymore. I no longer need it, neither do I need you or any member of your family. " she continued on her way, after dropping this bomb.

What did she mean by not needing it ? Did he make her feel that their family affection was not worth it?

" Clara, please wait! " he grabbed her by the hand, stopping her from taking another step.

" Clara, please don't talk like that. I know I did something wrong and am really sorry for that, but don't ever forget you have a family behind you. Whenever you need help, just call me and I will do anything for you " he said, with a pleading tone.

" Ask you for help ? Humph.... Clara sneered " how can I ask you for help when my last call for help was turned down by you without a second thought?, " she asked, jicking her hand from his.

Hearing this, Ryan became weak. He never expected that the call he casually called off was her last call for help that night. If he had known that Xavier would be so heartless as to hurt his own wife, he would have answered the phone.

" You know what ? I don't need any help from you and if you are concerned about the way I am living,then you shouldn't be , because I am far better than when I was with the family. "

At least Xavier treated her more like a human being ,he didn't lock her up in a secluded part of the house.

" Clara, is he being nice to you ?" Ryan was suddenly alarmed by her casual statement.

"No ,No, Clara, you shouldn't fall in love with him. I know I hurt you and I've not been the best uncle, but you should listen to me right now. I am being very serious. You shouldn't give your heart to Xavier. You will end up being shattered. " Ryan was really panicking this time. He felt that Clara was too innocent for all this. If she ends up falling in love with Xavier, that monster won't reciprocate, he will only make fun of her feelings.

" What? are you scared that he will cheat on me ? " She asked in a mocking turn, sneering at him.

" No, it's because we owe him a life " Ryan finally said, gnashing his teeth.

" About the dead girl. Looks like uncle also lied about that too? "

" You know about it?, then you most certainly know how she died. "

" I've been to her grave and I was made to spend the night there. How did she die ?" She asked, wanting to know more about the mystery girlfriend.

" I also don't know about it, " he replied, looking everywhere except her.

" Here, take this, it's father's. I mean second uncle's house address and phone number in South Africa". He was not sure if it would be of any help to her, but if she couldn't ask him for help, she would be more comfortable with his elder brother, he thought.

Clara collected the piece of paper and went back in. Ryan watched the lonely figure as she walked back into the restaurant.

" How many times have I told you not to come here? Glory asked when she saw Clara attending to customers.

" I want to help out with something, Glory " Clara said with a puppy eye.

" Really? Then why don't you help me get more customers by sitting in that corner and gracing that piano with your beautiful hands ", Glory said, pointing at the special corner where a stage piano is.

Musicians do come over to entertain their customers but Clara never touched it. If she did, she was more likely to invite customers over.

"Clara ma'am, a call for you ", a student who works part time hurriedly over with their restaurant phone in one hand.

Clara was surprised who it was ?, but she picked up the phone to avoid her nagging friend.

" Hello, welcome to our restaurant, how can I be of help to...."She was interrupted by a familiar voice.

" Do you guys do delivery, ?" The person asked.

Clara's cheek suddenly turned pink, it was as if the temperature suddenly became high, for some reason her heart started racing fast.

" Yes it depends on where you are, " she found herself replying.

" Then I want cold blue mountains and no sugar " the person said.

" Okay, we've gotten your order Sir."

Clara couldn't help but say ignoring the woman in front of her who had been gesturing her to refuse the order.

" Can we choose someone to deliver it ? " The person asked again. This time Clara was already smiling to the extent that her cheek hurt.

" Huh.. "

" Then ,can Mrs Clara deliver it ? " the person disconnected, not giving her time to even decline.

Glory shivered playfully, hitting her forehead " you can't even say no to him, for once ."

" Nothing to worry about, I also want to see the company." she gave a stupid excuse.

" Then go make the coffee. Let me drop you off ." she said, picking up her car keys.

" He said he would send someone to pick me up. "

"Wow, should I just post online that we've got the most expensive delivery person " Glory joked.

Ignoring her, Clara ran to get her bag. Not long after, she returned and kissed her friend good bye.

Along the way, she bought some snacks, chocolate mousse, not too sweet and not too bitter.

" Hello, I'm here to meet President Rey", she greeted the secretary, who quickly stood up on recognizing her.

" Good... good day madam " the young lady greeted her nervously. She immediately led Clara to the president's personal elevator. Mr Malcolm had already informed her that Madam would be coming today.

Clara was surprised at the way the secretary treated her, but coming to think of it, who would not recognize her when her pictures were on the online and billboards just a month ago.

Immediately the elevator arrived, she saw Tony Malcolm who was already waiting for her.

" Good day madam ", he greeted her with all smiles .

"Good day, to you too, Tony" she replied, even though she was uncomfortable with him. There she still remained calm. She noticed that all the secretaries were busy with their work. She couldn't help but admire the strength a certain someone used in managing this place.

Tony led her to the president's office and knocked twice before informing the person inside that the madam was around . When they got a reply, Clara went in. When she stepped inside, the door automatically closed .

At the far end of the large office, Xavier was sitting behind a magnificent and well-polished desk, working.

His black hair made him look more like a cold CEO. His new hairstyle even added to his charms, making him more handsome.

" Won't the coffee get cold if you keep standing there ?" He asked without even batting his eyes or looking up .

Clara came back to her senses on hearing his voice. She realized that she had been standing at the door checking him out. She felt embarrassed .

" Here is your coffee", she handed him the warm cup of coffee and he immediately took a sip, pushing the documents aside. " hmm, why is it too sweet ?" He complained after taking a sip.

" How can it be sweet? I only add half a spoon of sugar, "she said, picking up the cup and taking a sip, not noticing the annoying look on his face.

" Bitter!" She complained , squeezing her as if she had just drunk Chinese medicine.

Xavier chuckled on seeing her face and asked " when will you stop being so gullible ?".

Clara was taken aback by his sudden playful act. How was she to know that he was only joking?

" You called me here to discuss something ", she tried changing the topic to avoid his brown, luring eyes.

" What is that in your hand ", ignoring her, he asked, pointing at the chocolate mousse in a bag.

" Chocolate mousse, I thought you might like it so I bought it on my way, it's not too sweet " she tried to explain so that he wouldn't misunderstand , even though there was nothing to misunderstand.

" Let me open it for you ", she dropped it on the desk and opened it, not daring to look into those eyes of his which were gulled at her like a magnet.

" You specially bought it for me " he said, smiling.

" No, in passing " she replied, embarrassed by his look, "here take a bite". But immediately she said it, he flinged her hand and the whole package fell into the trash bin. "You caused it by lying. "He shamelessly pushed the blame on her.

"....."

She was speechless and looked at him for a while before looking away.

" Why did you call me here " she asked. Now she just wanted to leave his presence, she should have listened to Glory.

He wrapped his big arms around her and pulled her close. "Just see how stiff your body is, do you think I will eat you up ?" His breath was all over her ear down to her neckline. Clara felt her legs trembling, so she subconsciously pressed her hands on his chest so as to balance herself.

Xavier was checking her out, the pink-sleeve dress she was putting on made her look younger and cute, he could smell the new perfume she wore.

" How about we do something instead of discussing " his hoarse voice whispered into her ear , making her wet. She knew that no one would dare come in.

" Is today a safe day ?" He asked, looking straight into her eyes , lustfully, he just couldn't get enough of her.

If she said it wasn't, would he drop the idea? She was no longer in the mood for that .

" I can send Tony to get us some T's ," he said, his eyes telling her to say the truth.

Her period last month was delayed, so today was her safe day, but doing it here would be too embarrassing for her. If he should send Tony such things, how would the poor guy be able to face his friends in the future? She had no choice but to say the truth.

" Tony may come in at anytime " she said instead.

Seeing that she didn't intend to refuse him, his smile deepened. "Let's see if he dares. I have ordered lunch. Let's hurry up before it arrives. "

In fact, Tony already knew that something would happen so he didn't dare to disturb him, unless it was really urgent.

*****

He started kissing her face down to her collar bone, leaving wet traces on every corner. His lips touched. Slowly he guided her to sit on his lap, his experienced hands finding their way under her gown and not long, two fingers were already in her wet hole.

Clara grabbed her mouth, muffling the sounds that wanted to escape.

"Don't hold back, little lamp. I want to hear your voice. Don't worry, this place is soundproofed", he whispered inside her mouth, adding another finger.

Clara moaned softly with her eyes closed" open them", he ordered, and her eyes flew open, meeting his burning gaze.

"That's my girl, you look beautiful this way " his fingers were thrusting in and out of her very fast. Clara had never felt this way before. She was really flying this time.

He lay her down on his desk. Now there was nothing between them now. She widened her legs,as he replaced his fingers with his tongue,he licked and sucked the fluid leaking out of her, she begged for more. She grabbed his head. He teased and played with her clitoris, earning a loud moan from her.

He carried her legs wrapped around his waist as he plugged his d*ck inside her from behind. At first he was slow, but once her Virginia walls got used to his size, he hastened his pace, roughly thrusting in and out of her with one of her nut-sized nipples in his mouth.

Clara was red seeing him suck her but she liked this new feeling. This time was different. There was no pain, she was enjoying everything he was doing for her.

*****

He gently carried her down from the desk, and directed her to what to do before he relaxed in his chair with contentment.

" Open that curtain. You will see a lounge go in and clean yourself up "

Clara picked up her dress and ran to the direction he pointed to her nude ass, jolting left and right. When Xavier saw this he laughed heartedly at how clumsy she was.

*****

"Come out and eat " he ordered.

Clara popped her head out and scanned the whole room when she saw that Xavier was the only one present and that he was already neatly dressed and the air in the room was already purified. She walked out, sat down beside him and both of them started eating...

" Why didn't you have lunch with your uncle ?" He suddenly asked.

Clara was surprised. He knew that she had met with her second brother today. He thought she would tell him about her seeing his secretary with him. Was that why he called?

She was hungry before but his statement filled up her stomach and she dropped her cutlery.

" Don't worry, I am not interested in this family fund and I didn't say anything to him. "

" Did I say anything about that?" Xavier had already forgotten that this woman was more sensitive than anyone he knew.

"Do you have to say it before? I know what you think of me, "she already knows about his tyranny and dominance, but right now, why was she hurting ?

She picked up her bag,"I'm leaving. "

" Sit down and eat, " he ordered coldly.

Clara stopped and looked at him " are you going to dictate how much I eat now ?"

" If you don't want a nutritionist to follow you around, you had better start eating. "

She glared at him, threw her bag down on the couch and started shoving food into her mouth. It was the most irritating way she had ever eaten in her life.

Xavier had already stood up and was now smoking by the window. He watched the woman as she shoved rice into her mouth without chewing the first spoon. She would add another, she was eating like a crazy person. Tears rolled down her cheeks. He was so irritated that he ordered her to stop.

" STOP!" he yelled angrily.

" BANG" Xavier forcefully hit the desk. If it was not that Clara was already aware that he couldn't hit anyone, she really thought that he would use the Force on her.

" Swallow it " he ordered, pushing a glass of water at her.

Clara swallowed the rice in her mouth, before she drank the water, using her hand to clean her tears. She explained " it's because I was choking. "

" Did I ask why you were crying ?" Xavier really wanted to laugh from the bottom of his heart, she even wanted to give an excuse for crying.

Clara carried her bag about to leave.

" Your uncle called asking me not to be nice to you. "

Clara paused, what? was he trying to explain, how he knew she had met her uncle?

" But I don't understand what's wrong with me being nice to my wife ?" He asked thoughtfully.

" Don't worry, I have already been fooled once. I won't let it happen again " she left hurriedly, as if staying with him for another second would infect her with a deadly disease.

Xavier watched her leave. She was really becoming fearless and ungrateful.

' how am I wrong about being nice to my wife ?'

She will never forget what he said to her that night at the cemetery. "I've never been nice to you,so don't be mistaken ", but why is she hurting this much?

*****

Glory knew that something had been wrong. Immediately Clara walked into the shop.

" What did he do this time ?" She asked Clara, smiling, looking at her friend. She knew that if Glory had a knife she would be shaping it to avenge her .

" That son of a di*khead, but I think you deserve it " she angrily said, sneering at her friend," If you had listened to me and stayed back, you wouldn't end up like this.

" I know, I am sorry big sis, for not listening to you, "

she said, holding her ears, "Big sis, I bought this for you", she said, handing her a pack of chocolate.

Glory took a bit and frowned at her " you are really making fun of me,. I am worried about you and you are busy making fun of me, right ? "

" No, big sis, I wouldn't dare," she stood up and went behind her and started massaging her shoulder.

Glory, let out a deep breath, this couple are the strangest she has ever come across. They meet whenever they're in the mood to.

, " Clara, don't tell me you have fallen in love with your husband "? She asked, frowning.

" Is it not normal for a wife to love her husband ?" Clara replied with a question.

Glory looked at her friend. She does not know everything, but for her friend to act like a mentally ill patient just to get a divorce shows what type of a man he is.

"I'm just worried that you will be hurt when he finally agrees to a divorce, " she said.

" Don't worry, I am not stupid . " Clara was really grateful to her friend. She was the only one she had.
