Chapter Five: They will regret it
Victor Devereaux pov
How dare they do this to me. All my plans have literally been ruined.
“Sir you have..”
“Get out!” I roared to my secretary Sam. I have no interest in hearing whatever he has to say, the only things I am interested in are the things involving my stepdaughter Aria.
Damn it. I sigh as I rub my head in frustration.
Bunch of useless people, I even wonder why I pay them so much. no one could tell me what was going on. Now I look like a fool in the face of the whole world.
I walked down to the side of my drawer, where I keep my very expensive whiskey, and immediately poured myself a shot to calm me down.
It definitely hit a spot.
Like mother-like daughter they say, I guess that isn’t a bad statement after all. Aria has proven to be just like her mother.
I stand by the window side as I stare at the city from my penthouse. It reminded me of my younger days.
Myself, Lucian and my younger brother used to be best of friends and we did almost everything together not until Isabella- Arai’s mother came into the picture or should I rather say she has always been in the picture.
Selfish, reckless and stunningly beautiful are the words to best describe her. Her body curved in perfection and her long wavy hair fell down her back like the wavy ocean. Those piercing green eyes could make any man fall on his knees and it definitely made my younger brother fall on his knees which was the end of him.
A dame simp that was exactly what he was. He allowed Isabella trick him into getting married to her and he ended up losing his fucking life over a woman who didn’t give shit about him. He was my closest person and my only blood but that stupid bitch had to take him away from me. I vow never to give her peace, so I got married to her.
If there was anything Isabella loved more than herself, it was more wealth. After my bother died, I proposed the idea to her and just as I expected, she jumped on the train as if she was escaping from a heist. I’ve been a businessman for many years and I can identify a gold digger when I see one.
My plans were going as planned not until Aria came into the picture. I never knew that Isabella was pregnant before getting married to her, and I’m not even sure who the father was since Isabella was quite a flirt, but what I knew for sure was Aria would be the easiest way to get into Isabella’s skin— I mean every woman would give anything for their children safety and well being but I thought wrong. Isabella was a different woman amongst many; she never cared for her daughter until she went into thin air and no one heard about her again.
Aria was what I was left with, and I made her my last piece to getting into the bigger picture but fucking Lucian had to ruin it all.
I sighed heavily. The thought of it makes my skin crawl. He was suppose to be my trusted man but he was busy fucking my daughter behind my back.
I needed to think of a way out of all of this.
I came back from deep thoughts when I realized someone had walked into the room.
“I told you to stay out.” I snapped but when I turned around I was taken back to see Celeste, my daughter's best friend. Celeste
“You fucking bitch.” I groaned my blood snap short and i immediately broke the glass of whiskey I was holding with my bare hands but I didn’t feel a thing
“Hey.. now hold your horses.” Her voice was smooth and steady it seems like she has forgotten who she belongs to.
“I bring to you good news”. She addded
“You can keep whatever news you have to yourself.” I roared and took big steps closer to her.
She was supposed to be my eyes and ears when I was not there to watch Aria. That was the only reason I agreed to Aria getting close to her from the on set. But instead she decided to play their little games and keep me in the dark like I am a fool but no one messes with Victor Devereaux and goes away with it.
“How dare you trick me.” I grabbed her by the neck and pinned her against the wall. My eyes became dark and her face became purple. I was going to choke the life out of her.
“Tru.. trust m.. me ..you’ll like this.” She struggles to complete her statement but I wasn’t stopping
“What makes you think I would listen to you?” I slowly whispered in her ears as I hold on to her neck a little tighter than before.
“Here.. see this.” She said with her last breath and she raised her left hand to show me a document I immediately let go of my grip.
“What?” I snatched the paper from her. My jaw clenched at the sight of it.
“How did you get this?” I questioned. The burning sensation in eye became harder I could feel like my eyes were about to pop out of my head.
“It’s exactly what you think it is.” Celeste said as she took deep breaths and as she cough heavily from the impact of me choking her.
“Think about it Victor.” She cleared her throat and adjusted her dress.
“Everything could go back to normal if this information were to get to the press. Since Lucian’s and Aria relationship is out there already. Why don’t we give a real definition to their relationship and put an end to all of this.” I raised my eyebrows giving her the cue to explain further.
“Imagine this” she spreads her hand wildly in the with a little smirk on her face like she was about to say something to be proud of.
“ Headline New Lucian Blackwell Biological Father of Aria Sinclair”
“Now That would be a game changer for all of us”. She added.
“Lucian can never be Aria’s father. I clothed and fed her up to what she is. I am her father.” I snarled. I wouldn’t let anyone take what is mine.
“Now calm down and think about it.” Celeste said her tone gave me the calmness I needed as she gently rubbed my shoulders and whisper the words in my ears.
“If this information gets out there it only means that you get to control Aria again and you and you punish Lucian for betraying you all this while.” She spoke in her calm seductive tone and she made her point but something better popped into my mind.
“And how do I punish you for playing a fast one on me.” I turned swiftly and grabbed her by the waist as I took a hand full of her silky hair into my hands. She smelled like vanilla and almond, a scent I’ve missed. I deeply sniffed her scent into my nostrils and she let out a soft morn.
“Hold on Victor.” She sluggishly said, I could already see the lust in her eyes.
“What now?”my stomach twists. I do not like to be kept on pause.
“You know I want something in return right?” She proposed, I lift my lips for a meaningful smirk. In the world of business nobody does anything for free. She might not say it yet but I know this information comes with a price.
“Is that all, now turn around and let me teach you how not to mess with Victor Devereaux.” My lips lifted for a meaningful ful smirk. I couldn’t hold it in any longer.
In one swift movement Celeste drives me with a kiss, her full pink lips hardly against mine. I bet she was already aching for me, for my touches. If there was anything I love more than her brains it was her performance in bed and she definitely needs to put up a good one today to get whatever she wants from me.
She caress my body gently. Her soft delicate hand finds its way into my trousers as she uses her other hand to unbutton my shirt. I left out a low groan when her hands grabbed my erected member and our kiss became more intense. She bit my lower lips just as I like it. That was a major turn on for me, it turn me so fucking hard.
I long for her lips more when I realized her lips were not against mine again. I opened my eyes to find her on her Knees undressed and completely naked.
Her firm and perky boobs were so hard and red, she kneels in submission. Her seductive eyes looked up to me begging for me to touch her.
My lips lifted up for a smirk. Her heart might be for Lucian but her body definitely belongs to me.
I grabbed a handful of hair into my giant hands and I put my erected member into her mouth. I watched as she gracefully sucked and licked on it. The sensation felt so good when I poured my load into her mouth. I felt at ease. I felt relaxed. She didn’t have to wait for my instruction before swallowing all of it.
The smirk on my face was good enough for her to know I was satisfied.
“Get up and get dressed, we have somewhere to be.” I instructed and with that I left.
Celeste wasn’t wrong after all, the news of Lucian being Aria's father made it up to the top headline news within a few minutes.
I was about to pick up my phone to call Lucian when he threw himself into my office.
I watched as his heart ached from his findings as he was short of words and confused as to how he could be Aria's father.
He wasn’t such a saint in his younger days so it was very much possible. He was the ladies men right from college and even if my younger brother couldn’t tell I knew Isabella was head over heels for him.
He continued with his ranting and I only gave him a knowing look when the door opened and Aria came in.
