Chapter 11: The Confession

The drive was silent as I was looking at the road. Zander has been gripping the steering wheel ever since we're out of the museum. I was looking at him before we were turning right. I thought we were going back to the manor.

"Where are we going?" I asked Zander before he was silent again, refusing to talk to me.

"Zander?"

"In time, you will now, cara mia," he said as I was waiting for him to reach our unknown destination. I don't think that I would be going away with Zander in the middle of the night but that's that.

"Zander, please, will you just tell me where are we going?" I asked him for the last time before I was pushed forward when he suddenly stopped in his track. I was looking around but it was dark and I don't think Zander would be kidnapping me right now.

But what if he was a psychopath?

Or a sociopath?

I would have not guessed that if he was portraying this handsome, billionaire persona right now. Suddenly, my heartbeat was beating fast as I was trying to control my breathing.

"You don't have to worry, Lena. I am not what you thought I was," he said as he was turning to look at me. I was looking into his electric blue eyes that were shining in the dim light.

"Then, what are you doing right now?" I asked him as I was gulping. I hope that he would say something but instead, he was smirking at me.

"What do you think I was trying to do?"

"I thought that you were going to kidnap me and then rape me," I said bluntly before I was closing my mouth with my hand. Why did I tell him that?! Stupid, stupid, stupid!

"Hmm, that's a very interesting idea but I have a better answer for that,'' Zander said before he was pulling me to sit on his lap as I shrieked.

"What are you doing?!" I asked him as he was pulling my skirt up so that I can sit comfortably. I was gripping his broad shoulder before I was looking into his eyes.

"I have been waiting for you to come back home, cara mia," he said huskily before he was caressing my thighs. I don���t know what I was doing but I was leaning closer to him. But somehow, I got to get the words out of my lips.

"What do you mean? I haven't been here when I was out of college," I said before Zander was leaning toward me.

"Exactly. It has been torture to wait for your return so I have to play my cards," he said as I was looking into his handsome face.

His cards? What is he talking about?

"What do you mean—"

"Shh, enough talk. I think I will just show you what I meant just now," he said before he was pulling me closer and I was gasping when he was kissing the shit out of me. I was not prepared for that before I was gripping his hair.

I moaned as I was grinding involuntarily as I felt the hardness under my skirt.

"God, you're killing me, Lena. And I was about to give you a surprise,'' he said as he was nuzzling my neck. I was furrowing my eyebrow when he said that.

"Surprise? What surprise?" I asked him before he was pulling my left hand and he was putting the biggest sapphire gemstone that I ever saw. I was shocked to see it before I was looking between the stone and his face.

"What's the meaning of this?'' I asked him as Zander was smiling at me.

"I have told you. I am waiting for you to come back, Lena. You are my fiancée since birth when your parents agreed with mine. And I have been dying to get to know you," Zander was pulling me before I was blinking at him.

My parents made an arranged engagement? How come I never heard of that?!

"Wait, hold up, Back up!" I said as I was pushing Zander back to the seat. He was looking at me before I was arching my eyebrows at him.

"My parents made this arrangement?" I asked. Zander nodded.

"And you don't tell me anything? Just expect me to believe all of this?" I asked him before he was sighing.

"I have the documentation and all of that stuff. So, it was quite legal for us to be married by now. But I thought I want to take it slow and I want you to fall for me—"

"By pulling this stunt? You think I would be flatter?" I asked him before I was trying to get off his laps. But Zander gripped me like a vine that will not let go of its catch.

"No, I will not be having you running away from me again. I want you to know that I will do anything to have you by my side," Zander said as I was scoffing at him. He was whining like a child!

And maybe he was one, inside an adult body.

"Zander let go," I said firmly before he shook his head.

"Never,"

"Zander, please, my love. Let me go," I said as I was coming closer to him. Zander leaned toward me before I was pulling by his hair and I was staring into his eyes.

"Now, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way," I said as I was looking at a smirking Zander.

I cannot believe that he found this funny?!

"You know, Lena, for someone petite like you, I think you would make a wonderful co-CEO at my company," he said as he was caressing my thighs. I shivered before he was pulling me closer and I gasped.

"And I love it when you're in control, cara mia. It made me turn on by it," he said as he was grinding at my core as I was moaning. He was right, even though I was mad about this new profound arrangement, I cannot deny the attraction that I have for him.

"Zander," I said huskily as he was kissing my neck and jaws.

"Yes, cara?"

I don't know if I wanted this but I know that if I don't get him out of my system, I don't know if I was feeling for him was real or not. But I know when I give him my virtue, he will try to claim me.

And I think I liked that.

"What is it, cara mia? I'm listening," he said as he was whispering into my ears as I was gripping his shoulders. This is it. I will make sure that he knows what I wanted from him.

"Make love to me," I said and suddenly, Zander was looking at me before he was smiling at me.
