Present Day

Ruth's POV

I woke up feeling sore and tired and I wasn't complaining. I heard the bathroom door open, Adrian stepped out fully dressed, when he looked at me something had changed or rather things had fallen back to place.

The coldness in his gaze had returned, he was back to staring at me coldly. "Adrian I-"

He walked out on me, I sat confused wondering what was happening. I thought my life was finally changing for the better, I thought Adrian was about to start being a good husband to me, I guess I was wrong.

I laid back down and wrapped myself in the duvet, I couldn't fight the tears that fell freely.

"I can't take this anymore, I want out, I can't handle this life." I cried out but what can I really do? Our contract stated that I can't file for a divorce unless he cheated or raised his hands on me so I'm stuck.

Adrian has never cheated on me and he has never raised his hands on me, so I can't file for a divorce.

I cried myself back to sleep, when I woke up the sun was already up. I pushed myself out of the bed and dragged my legs to the bathroom.

I sat in the bathtub reminiscing about yesterday's sex, it was wild, it was what my body craved for not the boring sex we used to have.

By the time I was done, Adrian was gone, he had probably gone back to work.

I had breakfast alone, it tasted like chalk in my mouth but I had to eat because my body needs it.

I received a text message from Amelia, she was inviting me over for afternoon tea. Amelia is the wife of one of Adrian's investors. He had pushed me to become friends with her because he wanted the world to see that I was close with his circle.

I seriously didn't want to go, my body needed rest but I had to so I responded with a yes.

Not wanting to embarrass my dear husband. I wore a white sleeveless mini-gown, curled my hair and let it fall gracefully on my back.

For accessories, I chose a simple pearl necklace, plain but elegant earrings and bracelet. I wore red ankle strap heels and a red purse.

I wore a no makeup makeup look, it was simple and soft. I texted Adrian to let him know I was going out for afternoon tea with Amelia.

He responded with a bland and cold okay, I didn't know what I expected from him. The drive to Amelia's mansion was quiet and peaceful, I shut my eyes enjoying the quietness.

"We are here ma'am," the driver announced.

I thanked him and went down, Amelia was standing outside and she wasn't alone.

"Ruth," Amelia muttered, opening her hands for an embrace.

"Good afternoon Amelia," I managed to smile.

"I'm so happy you could make it. This is Alexa, she's my brother's wife, there are others already inside, let's go in." She said sweetly.

Others? I thought it'll just be the two of us. She introduced me to six other women and two young girls.

While they sat and chatted my head was somewhere else, I'd occasionally smile and hum just so they would think I was interested in whatever thing they were saying.

"My husband is awesome but he can't compare to Adrian Delacroix, Ruth you are so lucky to be married to him." A lady I have forgotten her name said.

She eyes me through her lashes, a fake smile plastered on her face.

"Well what can I say? I'm blessed." I smiled back, picked up my teacup and took a sip.

"I wish I was in your shoes, the only thing my husband is good at is cheating. He doesn't look at me the way Adrian looks at Ruth." Another said.

"Last month's red carpet event, you need to see the way he was staring at Ruth, his eyes were always on her. When Ruth was chatting with another man, I could see the jealousy dancing in the depth of Adrian's eyes."

I was called here to listen to them sing praises about my husband? It would have felt differently if everything was true but it wasn't. They are all jealous of the wrong couple.

The evening tea went on until evening, I wanted to leave but didn't know how to tell them without sounding rude.

A maid came and whispered something into Amelia's ears, she beamed and blushed lightly, waving the maid away.

"Ruth, your man is waiting for you outside." Amelia said.

The other ladies started murmuring. I managed to bring color to my face, lowered my head and smiled, trying to act shy before excusing myself.

When I saw Adrian again I was confused, the look in his eyes now is different from this morning.

The moment I reached him, he pulled me into his arms and kissed me deeply, taking me by surprise. His tongue prying my lips open.

I heard gasps behind us, I guess the ladies followed me to watch the show. I wrapped my hand around his neck and deepened the kiss. Adrian is taller than me so I had to stand on my toes.

After the kiss he whispered in my ears "I guess I wasn't rough enough last night, because if I was you wouldn't be here, you'd be home on the bed unable to move."

This time I didn't have to fake it, I buried my face in his chest, confused yet aroused. What is happening to him, why the change of behavior? By day he is the man I've come to know and by night he is someone else.

With his hand securely on my waist he turned to the ladies and said; "Sorry but I have to steal my wife."

"Please, Mr Delacroix, go ahead." Amelia said.

Adrian suddenly lifted me off the ground, taking me by surprise, I held him tightly. Refusing to let go, clinging to this side of him.

Ruth's POV

The moment we were in the car, I expected him to shove me aside and return to his cold self but to my surprise, Adrian captured my lips, he wasn't gentle at all.

He went all in with everything he's got.

I tried to push him away because I wanted us to talk, I wanted to know what's going on. "Adrian, wait."

But he didn't listen, his mouth was all over me, seeing as there was nothing I could do, I caved in.

"Where's your driver?" I asked breathlessly.

"I sent him away with yours, I want to be the one taking you home today."

His words melted my heart and still made me scared because what if he wakes up tomorrow and goes back to his old self.

Adrian lets go of me, "Let's continue this at home."

He drove us home, his one hand on the wheel while the other was on my thigh caressing it gently.

It was first an innocent touch until it became not so innocent, his hand crawled all the way to my panties, he touched the fabric and smiled.

"You are wet for me Ruth," his eyes were on the road when he spoke.

I clamped my legs together, heat crawled to my face, "Adrian please focus on the road."

He chuckled and removed his hand. I bit my bottom lip and shifted, focusing my gaze on passing images outside.

When arrived at the house, Adrian tossed the car keys to the driver, "Park the car properly," he said before scooping me off the floor and carrying me straight to the bedroom.

He sat down with me still in his arms, his hands on my ass while he devoured my mouth.

He shifted my lingerie to the side, his index finger circled my pussy hole. I moaned in his mouth.

His finger slid into my hole slowly, I was trying to focus on the kiss and his finger inside my wet hole.

"Open your eyes Ruth." He ordered but I was too deep into the pleasure I was receiving to obey him.

His fingers crisscrossed inside my hole stretching painfully. My eyes flew open while my brain tried to figure out when he doubled his fingers.

"I said you should open your eyes." He circled my throat, his eyes locked to mine.

His fingers moved savagely in and out of my pussy, I was a gasping mess, I wanted to shut my eyes and enjoy the pleasure but his eyes were holding me captive.

"Adrian, Adrian." Was all I could say while he fucked me with his fingers.

"You feel that?" He asked, "You feel my fingers fucking you?"

"I do Adrian, I do."

I held on to him for my dear life. Just when I was about to cum, he pulled out his finger and smirked.

"Not so fast princess." He muttered.

He came close, his mouth in my ear, "Don't worry about the dress, I'll get you a dozen more." He whispered huskily.

"Huh?" The sound of my dress being ripped off my body made me yelp.

"Adrian," I cried out, "This is one of my favorites."

"I said I'll get you a dozen more."

The next thing I knew, I was on the bed, my legs hanging on his shoulder. He carefully pulled down my lingerie and tossed it to the ground next to what was left of my dress.

He took off his tie, "Give me your wrists," he ordered.

Obediently I gave him, he tied my hands together and placed them above my head, "Let them stay there. If they come down, you are going to be sorry."

The way he said it made me scared but yet I was tempted to try and see what he'll do but I didn't, at least not yet.

He stepped out of the bed, with his eyes locked to mine, he slowly stripped himself. His dick stood pointed and veiny, I swallowed, he was handsomely made.

He carried my legs and placed them on both sides of his shoulder and then lifted me up. My waist was suspended in the air while my back was on the bed.

He sat, his eyes on my juicy pink pussy. He started off slowly, his tongue running circles around my clit. My fingers clasped together, pleasure touching every bone in my body.

His warm mouth covered my clit, he sucked and pulled, nibbling on the sensitive flesh.

"Oh fuck," I moaned, toes coiled and crossed against each other.

He kept on nibbling and sucking my clit, lapping on the juice from my pussy. I thought I was going to lose my mind, especially when his fingers invaded my hole.

I saw stars, the pleasure tearing through me. "Adrian I want your cock." I muttered impatiently.

"Be patient for daddy, princess." He muttered against my pussy hole.

He curled his fingers up, his fingers pressing against my urethral sponge. I lost it, I didn't know what else to do so I brought my hands to his hair and shoved his face down my clit where he was still sucking.

"I told you not to bring down your hands, why did you disobey me princess?" He pulled out his fingers in my pussy and stopped nibbling on my clit. I was this close to losing my mind.

"I couldn't contain myself." I muttered.

"You asked for it Claire, I told you, you were going to be sorry if you brought down your hands from where I placed them."

The next thing I knew I was lying flat, spread across his legs, my ass was being kissed by the evening wind.

"What are you going to do-" A cracking sound tears through the air.

He spanked me, Adrian spanked my ass and it felt so good.

"Are you going to disobey me next time?" He asked, spanking me again.

"No," I moaned.

"No who?" He asked, his hand kissed my butt cheek again.

"No daddy." I huffed out.

"Good girl." He said still spanking my ass.

"Adrian please," I begged.

"What do you want, Princess, tell me." His hands caressing my butt cheeks.

"I want you." I muttered.

"Where do you want me?" He asked again.

"I want you inside me please, I want to be filled with your cum."

"Good girls get what they ask for."

He placed me on the bed, my hands still tied together. He placed a pillow in-between my stomach and the bed and pulled my ass up.

I waited for impact but nothing came, I was beginning to wonder if he was just toying with me until all of a sudden he thrust deep inside of me.

"Fuck!" I yelled, "Oh God Adrian!"

"See how beautifully your pussy is taking my cock?" He asked, slamming roughly inside me, his thighs hitting my butt cheek.

"I do, it's taking you in so good." I confessed.

Adrian fucked me so hard that I couldn't speak, I couldn't moan, the pleasure too overwhelming I ended up crying.

I didn't know how many times I came last night, I didn't know how many times he fucked or how I ended up falling asleep.

The sound of people arguing downstairs was what woke me up. I wanted to continue lying down because I felt so sore but I couldn't because I could hear Adrian arguing with someone.

I forced myself, taking the bathrobe that way lying carelessly on the dressing table and wore it.

I supported myself, limping all the way downstairs.

"Adrian what's going on?" The arguing suddenly stopped when they heard my voice.

I switched on the lights to see who he was arguing with this late.

What I saw made my throat dry, I didn't know if I was imagining things, what am I seeing? I know I'm not drunk so why am I seeing two Adrians?

Ruth's POV

How is this possible? I had to grab the nearest piece of furniture beside me to support myself because not only were my legs shaking but my heart was pounding, I felt dizzy.

"Hi there Princess," One of them said, Adrian who was in the room a moment ago, I could tell because of the way he was staring at me .

"Adrian what is happening?" I finally found my voice and regained myself.

"This is my twin brother Damian." He casually said it like someone taking a walk in the park.

"Adrian I've been sleeping with your brother?" The question was directed to me, because that was the one logical explanation for his sudden change of attitude.

"You have a twin brother and you didn't think it wise to inform me about it?"

"Why do I have to tell you about my family? I don't think you have the right to know about my family Ruth." Adrian said.

I breathed out, I felt a tug in my chest, hearing him talk to me like I meant nothing destroyed something in me.

"Okay Adrian, I have no right to know about your family, I mean it's not like I mean anything to you..... Now explain to me the reason why your twin brother has been sleeping with me." I felt violated.

Adrian was suddenly silent, so he knew that his brother had been sleeping with me and he did nothing about it?

"If you are not going to tell her then I will." Damian said.

"Tell me what?" What's it that they are hiding from me? I don't think anything can be worse than the fact that I've been sleeping with my husband's brother unknowingly.

"Adrian is sterile and this is due to the accident. He couldn't accept it and didn't want to destroy his perfect image in the eyes of the public so I opted to step in, to get his beautiful wife pregnant on his behalf." Damian said.

I couldn't believe my ears, this was worse than the fact I was sleeping with his brother, this was worse than the fact that he said I have no right to know about his family.

"I... I... I need air, I can't breathe." I tried to walk outside but I ended up falling down, my legs still shaking.

Damian had this satisfied smirk on my face, he is the reason I can't walk properly and he seems to take pride in that. He came to my aid while Adrian looked like he didn't care that his brother was touching me.

I pushed Damian away and tried to stand on my own, after struggling I finally stood up on my own.

"Since you already know what it's about, I want to let you know that you are going to continue sleeping with Damian until you give me a child."

I laughed, I laughed so hard a drop of tear slid down my eye. "I didn't know you were a comedian Adrian. Do you know I can sue you and your brother for what you've done to me?"

"According to our contract, you are supposed to do everything and anything I tell you to do. So go ahead and sue me, you are not going to win." Adrian smirked.

"You can't force me to do anything I don't want to do Adrian, you don't just walk out of my life for weeks with no call, no information on your whereabouts only for you to come back and dump this load on me." What have I gotten myself into?

"I can and I will. I need children to hold my perfect image in society, I can't get you pregnant so my brother is going to step in. All he has to do is have sex with you twice a week until you get pregnant."

"My body is not a machine, I'm not going to sleep with your brother Adrian."

"But you already did and it looked like you enjoyed it." He stared at me with disgust.

Seeing as he was hell bent on making me do this I decided to step on his ego, maybe if I do he'll hit me and I can use that to file for a divorce.

"You are right, I enjoyed it. Your brother is far more capable than you, he is way better in bed than you can be. I'm still shaking from what we did last night, I can't even stand properly." I tried to fight the smirk that was threatening to mar my face when I saw his jaw clenched and unclench.

"And that's going to end, you are my wife." He turned to Damian, "I'm going to forgive you for overstepping your boundaries like I said earlier but don't you dare do what you did again."

"You are going to continue your duty as my wife and your behavior in public shouldn't change." Adrian walked away finality in his voice.

So this is it, I'll be sleeping with someone else so my husband can have a child. I feel like I've been put in some telenovela because this doesn't feel real.

"Don't worry, it'll be over before you know it princess." Damian said but although he said that as if he felt sorry, I could hear the happiness hidden behind his words.

"How come the world doesn't know about you? You two are twins but the late Mr and Mrs Delacroix said they only had one son." It doesn't make sense to me.

"I'd rather keep that information concealed 'sisterinlaw' now let me take you back upstairs. I know I was pretty rough last night."

I could see the difference between them both, although they are identical twins, Adrian is cold, aloof while Damian has this dominating aura. Though I don't want to admit it, it was drawing me.

I decided that I didn't need his help, so I limped all the way to the stairs. Going down the stairs was easier than climbing up. My pussy was throbbing, I needed the help he was offering but, he might look at me kindly but it doesn't make him different from his brother, they are both using me.

I was suddenly picked from the floor like a bag of chips, I was hoisted on his shoulder like a bag of rice.

"There's no use being angry at me, if we are going to give your husband a child, we need to be on good terms." He said.

"Put me down right now!" I yelled.

"No can't do," he carried me all the way to the bedroom.

Adrian wasn't in the bedroom but I could hear the shower running, he was taking a bath. Damian lowered me on bed and tugged me in like I was some child.

"Now rest that pretty face of yours." He kissed me on the head and then walked out.

I laid there staring at the ceiling wondering why I had accepted Adrian's marriage proposal in the first place, the person I was trying to help with the money ended up dying anyways.

All this started because I was trying my best to be the perfect daughter to my foster mom. After my foster father passed away life took a toll on her, she no longer was the good mother I had come to love. Nothing I did was enough, she always found room for complaints.

Things worsened when she was diagnosed with cancer, the same thing that killed my foster father. I worked three odd jobs while juggling school. It was tough but I didn't complain because I wanted to please her.

One day while working an overtime shift in a bar, I ran into Adrian, the most eligible bachelor, he was soft spoken, he smiled at me warmly.

He offered me a contract, I should be his wife and he'll change my life for the better. I took days to think about it, my mother's condition wasn't getting better, the pressure was getting worse. Without any choice I accepted his offer, and we got married.

He paid for my mom's hospital bills, tried everything he could but my mom ended up dying. I was stuck in a loveless marriage, living a double life, being the perfect life in public and now I'm being forced to become a baby machine.

The bathroom door opened, Adrian walked in fully clothed in his nightdress, he got into bed and laid on his side, gracing my face with his back. I turned around and faced the wall, tears threatening to fall.

I couldn't help but compare him to his brother, I've spent two nights with Damian and he never slept without holding me.

I wish the circumstances in which we met were different.
