Daughter-in-law Strikes Harder

His true feelings



Their lips met, and the moment Dalton’s tongue pressed Aria’s lower lip, she parted her mouth like a freshly split–open fig, welcoming him into the warmth of her mouth. His tongue slipped inside her insistent mouth, and lips which were moist with strawberry gloss tasted like cherry.

Dalton’s arms wrapped around her body, passionately holding her tight, and his fiery tongue sled inside and outside of her soft, luscious mouth.

His mouth was parting her shaking lips, sending wild tremors along her nerves, and evoking from her sensations she had never known she was capable of feeling. And before a swimming giddiness spun her round and round, she knew that she was kissing him back.

Her hands grabbed his arm to pull his hand away from holding her face which felt like warm embers, as it raised some sort of wild fire from within him which was hard to resist. She tried hard to break away from the kiss she had never prepared for, but her mind was clouded by the desires that had been too docile in her body. They were gushing abundantly.

Dalton felt her desire to break free from the kiss as his hand crept to her waist, pulling her much closer as his chest pressed against hers. He ran his tongue along her lips teasingly, as he traced it tongue along her own hot tongue and then sucked on it. Her heart was beating so erratically she could only take little sips of breath.

‘What was happening to her? What was going wrong in her body? Why was it hard to pull back?’

His lips swerved and took her own puckered lips again, and sucked on them gently in a rough manner. His hands slipped down the smooth curve of her sides, to rest on her hips as he drew her closer to him again.

‘It was to make things clear and ruin the expectation news for everyone, that he would never have anything to do with Hailey.’ That was what his mind was convincing him to believe. And he wanted to. But he was rather enjoying what he was doing, that the pleasure he was deriving from finally kissing her properly was too good to let go.

Finally, Aria succeeded and pulled away from Dalton, as he groaned softly and still his eyes clenched shut for a moment afterward. He didn’t want to wake up from this dream he had finally brought to life, while savoring the moment. The last thing he wanted was for her to pull away, but she did anyway. Surprisingly, she was not angry.

She was trying hard to catch her breath while breathing slowly, so as not to show her vulnerability at that moment. Instead, she turned to Hailey who instantly activated the maliciousness back in her, as she gave her a derisive smirk that held so many unsaid words.

Hailey was shocked. She was transfixed. Her legs were stiffened. Her eyes felt like gouging out, at what she had to watch play before her. Dalton was passionately kissing the wife he couldn’t even stand before in her presence. They were enjoying what they were doing, and allowed her to watch in humiliation.

‘Had they deceived everyone till the present date? Were they really in love? Was it just a show to make her go away? Was Aria just playing her submissive role as his wife still? What the heck was happening?’Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Hailey thought her head would explode, from the various questions her mind was dying to get an answer to. The action she had to watch Dalton perform before her was too much for her tiny heart to bear.

In the moment of them breaking free of each other, she tried not to cry as she smiled painfully which put stress on her face. She did not allow herself to lose her dignity, as she walked out of the room elegantly without uttering any further words. Just as she got to the corner where no one would see her, she burst into low sobs and hastily walked to Ellen’s hallway.

Dalton was looking at Aria and waiting for her to give him the scornful look or cuss at him, which he would willingly listen to because he had done what he wanted to do. However, she was not even saying anything.

Her eyes were just rolling randomly like she was looking for words to say, and was now stuck on the many ones she had in her head. Both of them were saying nothing.

“Why are you not getting angry and cursing like you usually do?” Dalton took the lead in the question, wanting to actually hear an answer to that before she would explode at him. And yes, she finally remembered why she had come into his room.

When she came down from her room and entered the kitchen to get iced yoghurt minutes ago, she heard the maids and chefs talking about preparing the combinations of meals he seemed to enjoy, since he arrived back at the mansion earlier.

They also whispered to one another about the surprise search that morning, and how many of them who had tried to act so smart within the mansion would end up getting thrown into the prison or out. It would mostly be those that had sold some things in the house that were not noticeable, or those who posted malicious comments against the family.

That was when Aria realized that Dalton was probably the reason why Hailey was back at the mansion, just a few hours after she arrived. She became pissed all of a sudden.

As her mind began to think of the right issue that she could bring up to him and cause a difference between them, she remembered her phone that had been seized that morning because of whatever reasons his men called it.

Storming into his room to get rid of Hailey and at the same time piss him off, got her into an unexpected situation that was more overwhelming. Worst of all, her body seemed to react in ways she couldn’t even understand. And for that, she was even more pissed. With herself. Nevertheless, she wasn’t the one to lose her touch.

“And why did you do that in front of your wife? Did you have your differences and needed me as a fight relief?” She tried not to roll her eyes or sound the way her heart seemed to react to her question, but it was a failed attempt. Her voice was too low and solemn.

“Do not, call her my wife,” Dalton gritted his teeth, angry that they were already diverting from the ecstasy they both just felt. He wanted to talk about that.

“Is that not what your family wants? You should give it to them,” she countered.

“That is not theirs to decide!”

“So why did you do that? I mean, you do not kiss someone you ordered your men to frisk mercilessly,” she finally said the point of her anger, as face changed into the usual and perfect expression she normally gave him. Now, that was his wife.

“I.. It was for security reasons. And why do I even have to explain that to you?!” He yelled frustratedly.

“You see. This is who you really are, Dalton. One minute you are all over me and trying to act like you care, and you are acting all bossy and crappy the next one. You are so indecisive and selfish, and you just try to justify your actions by things that do not matter. Have fun being alone with your narcissist self and never touch me again, else. I would rob both of us of our happiness!” She threatened bitterly. Every emotion she was feeling at that point was on the loose, and Dalton could sense every bit of them.

“I know I am really contemptible, to you. But I do really care,” he said to her. Maybe he really didn’t need to hide that he sincerely cared now.

He cared if she was not going to talk to him anymore, and he cared whenever she was angry at him because he had caused her pain. He cared whenever she was with another guy and smiling with them, when she could not even have fun with him like she always did with others.

His heart cared that she thought so low and despicable of him, and also could not stand to see that she was not in her right body state and mind. He never did before in the past, but now he couldn’t understand why he was now anxious at every thought of her.

Kissing her when she would groan and struggle to break free, was more sensual to him than when other ladies would want to kiss him willingly.

“And why do you care?! You have never cared and you shouldn’t start now. Ending things and never meeting again in this life is the best. If we are even to meet in the next life, we should be sworn enemies!” She yelled angrily. Now he was really getting her so infuriated by his indecisiveness and the way he was confusing her.

“I… I do not know why, okay! I just care about you now and in every way. And let it keep ringing in your head every time that I, Dalton Miller cannot stop minding Aria. And for the separation, I do not think I want to do that anymore,” he announced, to her bewilderment.
