Dangerous Desires Novel

87 A Glimpse Into Stacy’s Mind 

Stacy. 

Caleb and Luke left me alone, and I rested on the bed, i had left my door open deliberately so Aesop could see what he had done to me. He had broken my heart completely. I never did anything to him. I have loved him since I met him, but he never failed to point out my flaws, comparing me with his late wife and making me feel small. I took it out on Luke. I shouldn’t have, but I did. 

“Darling, let us talk about this,” I linked Aesop, but he did not respond. I remained in bed, unsure of what to do. It all seemed like a horrible nightmare I would soon wake up from. The reality of what had happened created an intense fear in me. I never imagined that Aesop would go this far, but he did. He embarrassed me and cast me aside. My phone began to ring, and I wasn’t looking forward to speaking with whoever it was. Timothy Miles had been threatening me, asking for his money back since Diamond corp refused to pay for the contract. 1 did not want to deal with him in my current state of mind. I linked Norman to bring me a bottle of gin. My nerves were all over the place, and I was afraid. The gin was delivered, and I did not bother to use the glass. I took several swigs from the bottle and began to sing songs to ease my aching heart. I felt neglected and abandoned. I hated Aesop for doing this to me. I did not do anything. I had stopped antagonising Luke and Tia; I wasn’t scheming against anyone. I did not speak during breakfast, yet he took it out on me. That was what I was good for anyway. He always took out his anger and frustration on me, but this was its height. Luke insults both of us, and I get to the boot. I began to laugh at the irony of the situation, I bet if Caleb were the one that insulted him, he would have dealt with him. What a bloody hypocrite. My phone began to ring, and I decided to answer it. I picked it up and looked at the screen. It was Timothy Miles. I wondered what the bastard wanted now. “Stacy!” he yelled without answering. “You are a sick bitch!!” he yelled, and I wondered why he would speak to me in such a manner. “What did I do to you, Timothy?” I asked him, slurring my words. “They were coming to arrest us, and you did not give me heads up. I will rope you in on this, I swear,” he said, and I was stunned. 

“How? Timothy. I would have exposed you if I knew you were stealing from my husband. You never told me you were running shady deals. You never told me you were defrauding the company. It wouldn’t have killed you to carry out the contracts. I thought I was helping a friend, but you ruined my husband’s company. Go ahead and lie against me, Timothy. I have nothing more to lose. My marriage is over.” I said to him, and he was silent. “I want my money back, Stacy”, he yelled as a comeback line, and I laughed. “If you find a guy called Regan Adhit, ask him for it. I gave it all to him.” I told him and hung up, not wanting to hear whatever he had to say. 

Luke was much more ruthless than his father, and I knew it was Luke who decided to arrest them. I should have been nicer to him, but Aesop did not give me a chance. I loved that boy and cared for him as a mother should care for her child, but Aesop always pointed out my flaws and showed his son and the memory of his dead wife more love than he showed me. I became resentful and lashed out. If I didn’t lash out, my marriage would have been intact. 

I finished the bottle of Gin and became very drunk, but sleep did not come. I decided to wear something sexy and go back to Aesop’s room. I needed him to hear me out and forgive me. This was the time. I wore his favourite lace lingerie and wore a white silk robe over and headed to his room. 

He wasn’t in his room when I entered, so I linked Norman to find out where Aesop was. I learned he was having a meeting with Luke and a woman in his office. I decided to wait for him, I went where he kept his liquor and helped myself to some. If I was human, I should have been knocked out by now, but here I was, trying to keep myself tipsy. I should have done things differently. I should have been honest, compassionate and patient. I just have to hope he will hear me out. 

While waiting, I remembered how innocent I was when I met Regan. His father had just died, and he was alone, standing by the streetlight. I had gone out to look for food. My father was ill, and my sister had run away to Cleeve to be with her lover. It was only my mother and me. She accused me of being lazy and asked me to put my looks into good use, so I headed out to see what I could get. Regan called out to me, and I crossed over. I knew who he was, and I felt weird that our alpha would talk to me. He asked me what I was doing, and I could not tell him, but he figured it out and gave me some money. I took it home to my mother and told her how I got it, and she encouraged me to see him. That was how Regan and I started dating. I moved in with him, and he took care of my folks, but then one day, he returned home with a stranger and asked me to sleep with the guy. I was shocked, and I refused to. Regan was my first, and I hoped to start a life with him. When I refused, he linked me and told me we were broke. and this was how we would survive henceforth. I knew he had some money, but he said he had plans. That he could not be great living in Dome, he wanted us to have enough to move to Neev and establish a business. He claimed ma 

He claimed many rich people go to Neev, and we will be made. He beat me up for the first time when I refused and forced me to sleep with the stranger. That was the first. He did not go easy on me after then. I tried to run away several times, but that only made it worse; soon, I accepted it as my life. The moment he felt we had enough, we moved to Neev, and I began to work at a hotel as staff and entertainment. It was like that for a while until I met Aesop. He was supposed to be an extra secret customer. I needed to send money home to help manage my father’s health, and Regan refused to give me money. I offered myself to Aesop for a see, but lie turned me down. He let me know he was married and showed me her mark on his neck. I felt ashamed, but he went easy on me and got me talking. That was when I told him about my father, and he gave me money to help with my father. He made me promise him that I won’t offer myself to customers. 

to Neev for business. He asked me to join him in Neev. As usual, Regan had a customer for me. Unlike the others, this customer knew nothing of Regan or his plans. This customer did not know he was a customer. It was Aesop, and his wife had died. I snapped out of my thoughts and took a

She was the one that gave me all the bad advice that led me down this road. Aesop was a good man, and I had pushed too hard.

I did this for all of us. Before Aesop, we were starving My parents and my daughter were hungry. Regan barely sent money to them, and I had to work double in Cleeve. With Aesop, I knew my daughter would be cared for, and my parents would be okay. I had to do it. Aesop was so sweet that I fell quickly. If only I had been kinder and did not listen to my mother’s advice. She would have been a better mate for Regan if she
