Chapter 11: Working Together
The whole person was confused.
- Wait, wait. Are you my boss? But what…?
- Little Diana, stay calm. We have a story together. There is no need for all this confusion. Alexander said, rising from the chair and walking elegantly toward Diana. - We even slept together. I've missed you these last few days.
The man's smile was calm, his voice magnetic and seductive.
He moved closer to her, hugged her, and kissed voraciously.
Diana was out of breath. Alexander's firm lips pressed hers and she did not understand why her body responded to this man's advances. She felt her legs flutter, a thrill throbbing all over her body.
- You…! Vile and shameless creature whom do you think you are kissing? - She said weakly when she finally managed to breathe and her confused mind got a little in order.
She did not notice her hands clutching Alexander's immaculate white shirt, much less the man's arm around her thin waist.
- My darling, if a man is not shameless, how will he chase after a woman? If I can have your heart, why would not I be a big shameless one? - Alexander smiled devilishly.
Before she could think of his words he was already kissing her pink lips again.
His kisses were sexy, intoxicating, and at the same time gentle and loving.
She could never remember how she had lain on the black leather sofa in Alexander's office. She did not remember how he bent over her passionately, and much less remembered how her shirts were pulled out and her bra tossed to the floor, her bare breasts pressed firmly against his bare chest. She wrapped her arms around the man's neck, hugging him passionately while her right hand played with her short hair and nape.
The only thing she remembered vividly was when he reached into her skirt and panties and slowly and deliciously stroked her intimate parts, her lips and the other hand played with her full and tender breasts as she tugged at her hair and moaned until she found her release and almost screamed, but the sound was muffled by Alexander's lips.
- Bloody hell, Alexander! That's not what we should be doing! - She complained tearfully pulling Alexander's hand from her panties and dressing quickly.
She was very frightened by what they had done, after all, she is a woman raised in a very traditional and conservative family. She was raised by her grandmother, a traditional and conservative old lady, learning about the duties of a good woman. And at that moment, she felt that she was betraying her grandmother's teachings by being in that kind of intimacy with a man she did not even have a right and fair relationship with. And worst of all, what if people outside the room heard?
And she felt terrible, she was consenting to all this and quite enjoying engaging in this man's strong arms.
She felt like maybe she was a big hypocrite. Your mouth says one thing, but your body wants something else ...
Yes, she feels physical attraction to Alexander. Lots of attraction. To the point where she felt her panties get wet at the man's melodious and juicy voice, to the point of shivering pleasure every time he tightly embraces her waist, to the point where she feels it will melt in his firm chest and hot. She wanted to kiss and lick, like an ice cream, her muscular chest and abdomen defined. And she felt dirty for having those perverted thoughts and cravings.
- How is this not what we should be doing? You asked me to marry you! And I accepted! Are you coming back with your word? - He said in a sullen voice but a malicious smile playing on his lips.
- I was drunk...
- Diana Aimer! Your cruel and wordless woman! - He said looking like a woman who was left by the groom at the marriage altar.
- Excuse me! It was not intentional.
- No excuses! Let's get married and I do not take no for an answer!
- But you do not even love me! And I do not love you!
- That's details. Love comes with time and tolerance. As long as a couple wants the marriage to work out and get engaged in it, it will work. - He scolded in a sullen voice in the extreme. - If you feel better like this, how about this: Let's work together, let's meet and when you feel you love me, let's get married. - He softened his voice, speaking gently, as if trying to persuade a child.
Alexander was like this with she: He would always try the gentle method and if it did not work, there would always be the method of force.
- Why are you insisting on this madness?
- Because I like you! - He answered seriously.
- Do not you think it's too early to say that?
- A relationship must be built on honesty as the basis, do not you think?
- Are you really talking about honesty? You lied to me!
- When?
- You did not say your last name.
- That's not lying, and you never asked about it. I am truly amazed. That night, several people called me as President Dunkelheit. Did not you hear that?
- I was distracted and tired. I paid almost nothing attention that night. - Her voice was like a whisper, clearly showing how embarrassed she felt and thinking how distracted she was that night.
- Then do not say I lied to you! It's your fault to be distracted. Now, I'm serious. I like you and that's why I accepted your request for a wedding. If you keep running away from responsibility, I'll sue you!
- What responsibility do I have for you?
Diana was helpless and irritated by the situation.
- A promise of marriage was made and you stole my kisses. Besides almost stealing my virginity! - He said looking apologetic.
- You do not have shame? Speak like a woman of the 19th century.
Well, she was much more embarrassed than he was. She behaved like a lecherous and actually almost took her chastity that night.
"Wait, is this guy really chaste? No way! How could that be !?" She wondered mentally and was considering what to do with the situation.
- Who cares about shame? I demand my rights!
Diana felt really helpless. She was always a malicious woman and a bit manipulative but now she is the one who was being manipulated and knew perfectly well! She could hardly believe that a man like the great Emperor Alexander Dunkelheit, one of the most important and influential men in the world, was using these tactics in her.
It was really a great lack of shame! But what could she do? He was not being rational and she was attracted to him ...
- Okay, let's try to do that. - She said defeated. - What are we now? Boyfriends? Lovers?
"What's the point of arguing? There's sexual excitement and good chemistry between us. We can always separate and that's how the doctor said, I'm curious." She thought.
She was sincerely considering it. On the one hand, she knew that there would be an end to the little romance and that she was likely to leave, without her chastity, of this relationship, which left her very hesitant, after all, she was brought up with the idea of marrying a virgin.
On the other hand, now, we are in the 21st century! It is a rare case to see someone marry a virgin. And he was so handsome, tall, strong and his powerful air was completely attractive and extremely seductive. She could not help but think of her little session on the couch. She wanted more.
- My darling, the correct term is: Husband and wife to be. Fiancé! Come on, it's going to be fun, I can assure you. - He said looking very happy with the situation. He did not even let the poor girl recover before kissing her vigorously.
When Diana and Alexander finally broke away from their physical contact, it was lunchtime and he simply walked over to his desk, putting on his shirt, rearranging his tie, and helping Diana arrange her long hair that was messed up because of him.
Diana was too embarrassed to be seen that way. It is true that they did not reach the end of the game, but she still had the feel of her lips on her skin and the red marks caused by the small hairs that came from her beard were very sensitive on her breasts, collarbone and neck, except she now had a right and fair relationship ... or almost that, all that was left was to sign the papers, in the man's words.
"Did I do well? We can meet and enjoy the moment. In the future, we go to opposite sides, anyway, we are from different worlds ... ". Diana thought strangely.
- Listen to me, let's take it easy, shall we? Do you know that I will have problems with this situation?
- What problem?
- Well, there are those who will say that I "went up to the chief's bed". And not to mention that I am a salaried worker, not a lady of high society. Surely your family will not be happy when you discover that you are getting involved with someone humble.
- First, and if they say you climbed in my bed? Is it a lie? Well, technically it is, since it was me who put you in my bed, but it was you who seduced me and I liked it! And who dares to make gossip under the name Alexander Dunkelheit? Second, if you want, I'll fire you and take care of you at home as the high society ladies do. They stay home all day being pampered. I must say that it is a good option for me. That way, I can have you just for me. And the Dunkelheit family is not the kind that look in to a lot at people's family background, as long as you do not have scandals and skeletons in the closet that can ruin our image and business, that's fine and even if you did, you should tell me everything so that I can properly clean up the situation.
The last part of his speech was almost a lie. Of course that the Dunkelheit would look upon the family background of who was marrying in their family. It is true that they did not bother with people with a humble past if there is accomplishments and qualities to compensate for weaknesses in family history, but Diana was different. Even if she did not possess achievements, which she did not have enough, she was the sole heir of the Luhan and Yangxuan families.
The Dunkelheit may be an aristocratic family but certainly not as noble as the Luhan family, who had the blood of kings in their veins.
The truth is that the Dunkelheit began as a family of commoners who had enough intelligence to create a great fortune and expand their influence to the political and military area but, the Luhan family was completely different, they have been the cream of the nobility since time immemorial. Its foundations were deep and its name was known around the world as the best. His fortune was as great as that of the Dunkelheit, especially after marrying the only heiress of the Yangxuan family, almost as rich, ancient and powerful as the Luhan.
Diana sighed softly.
- Stop sighing! Are you thinking of running away from responsibility? No one can change that, can you hear me? - Realizing that his voice was very lively, Alexander pulled Diana's hand and said softly. - Now be a good girl and come eat.
Alexander called his second assistant, Mr. Reeves, and asked for lunch to be served.
In the room next to the office, through a door on the left, there was a dining room and two other doors, one for a bathroom and the other for a room with a King size bed and a closet full of suits.
The whole place was decorated in black, white and gray. Masculine and simple but elegant.
Lunch was served quietly by the attendants, assistant Reeves, a tall, blond man with a cold aura and another lady, she seemed to be something like forty-five but, in fact, she already had her fifty-eight years. She had the kind smile of grandma tender and gentle.
- Well, let's do the introductions. You will spend a lot of time accompanying me at work until the collective recess that starts on the twenty-second of December. First, Assistant Reeves and Secretary Weber. You know Kim, he's out, he should be here soon. Miss Hewett, who welcomes and takes care of the general organization of the office. There are other secretaries but you do not have to worry about them. Ms. Jones, the wife of the butler of Dunkelheit Shine, is the housekeeper who takes care of my food and daily life, you can call her Nana like me.
- Is she your nanny? - Diana asked, noting the intimate and affectionate manner of the old lady and the young man.
- Yes, Madam. I took care of the young master since he was born. - The lady answered calmly. - Eat fast. You are very thin, you need to gain weight to have a peaceful pregnancy and healthy children.
Pregnancy? Children? What the hell is going on here !? Diana was startled by the old lady's words and quickly tried to explain her position.
- I think you made a mistake, I'm not pregnant and I do not intend to stay, at least not for years to come.
Alexander decided not to answer his statement. "Let's let this little fool fool herself. When she does, she'll have a big diamond in her left hand and a baby in her womb."
The old lady looked at the young woman, her eyes startled as if the girl's words were a great heresy.
- Times are changing, are not they? When a couple discussed marriage, after the ceremony, they would quickly have babies. The young master said that it will not be long before the wedding ceremony, I thought it would be a good idea to start the physical preparations. - The old lady explained apologetically.
- Oh. I understand. No need to worry about it. It will take some time for a wedding to happen.
"At least for me, it's a few years, maybe decades, maybe centuries," Diana thought, sighing inwardly.
The truth is, she was not taking this situation seriously. She resigned herself to her fate to distract this great Emperor until he tired of her and let her out quietly. Of course she also sees the good things about this situation. She will be able to deal with your lascivious desire and still, enjoy the life of great rich lady. It was only to watch the table with the plate full of giant prawns, big red grapes and several other fresh fruits and of the best quality, the great juicy fillet and the fine sweets waiting to be devoured. And there was still the perfumed red wine that Alexander drank elegantly. Of course she did not dare drink any kind of alcohol, but it was obviously a high quality wine, a bad wine would never have such a penetrating and pleasant perfume.
- Eat. You fainted because of anemia not too long ago. - Alexander commented.
He seemed genuinely concerned about Diana's health and his tone was full of indulgence and pampering.
- It's all right. - Diana just replied.
While sitting and eating the prawns with great pleasure. After all, she loved seafood, no matter how much she disliked food, shrimp always made her hungry. Maybe it was because it was one of the things she liked best when her mother was alive.
After a leisurely lunch, the couple began to work seriously and Diana saw a totally different side of Alexander.
When it came to running his business, he was absolutely serious, fearless, pragmatic, and visionary.
Nothing escaped his sharp eyes. Nothing escaped her intelligent and knowing mind.
Everything in the Dunkelheit Conglomerate is handled with iron hands by Alexander Dunkelheit. Maybe that's why Dunkelheit is the most prominent company in the country and one of the three largest in the world. Even without counting the obscure parts and long-established political relations, the Dunkelheit Conglomerate is undoubtedly the number one. After all, there are companies of all segments under the management and ownership of the Dunkelheit Conglomerate. From a highly-rated hotel chain to weapons development, from upscale restaurants to the development of high-end luxury cars and armored cars, from game, software and electronic gadgets to the shopping and entertainment mall chain, from a reputable network of hospitals to the food industry, plus of course the development of luxury aircraft and yachts, a complete transportation network and research fields in various fields such as agriculture, livestock, military technology, medicine and more. The diversity of business is what makes the Dunkelheit conglomerate so strong. And everything that carries the Dunkelheit seal will be of the best quality.
This is an empire built with the blood and sweat of several generations, over two hundred years of history. For two hundred years expanding and multiplying, as a true dynasty, a true empire, the Dunkelheit family has taken root deep in the world, so deep that a word of the great master of the Dunkelheit family and half world can change in a few days. After all, the influence is vast and foolish who thinks it is only in national territory. The Dunkelheit family has direct influence in many countries, especially the countries where they do most business, some of their top representatives and several government officials are in the pockets of the Dunkelheit family.
There are those who say that the Dunkelheit family is the richest in the world, after all, accumulating wealth for more than two hundred years and always investing in different areas, it is almost impossible that one day they become poor. It's enough to sustain a small country for several decades.
And now Diana understands that the more you have, the more work to take care of.
The stack of papers to check was so high on Alexander's desk that she was impressed that she had not caused repetitive strain injury.
Throughout the day Alexander read, reviewed and signed documents, listened to reports, gave instructions and even received several international calls.
At the end of the day, he looked a bit tired but still energetic.
- What do you want to eat for dinner? - He asked Diana quietly.
- Do not worry. I go home.
- You did not agree to start a relationship?
- Are not we going too fast?
- If you want, we can accelerate. It's still five o'clock, if we run we can still register the wedding today. If I remember correctly, the department closes at six-thirty.
- It's all right. Let's have a dinner together. I want Italian food.
- Good choice. I'll tell Nana and Butler Jones. - Alexander said writing a message on his cell phone to the elderly couple.
- Come on, I should go home early.
Diana sighed bitterly. She knew it would be a little complicated.
And Alexander obviously did not care. He wanted to bring his wife home soon and tell the world that this beautiful woman belonged to him alone.
Being selfish is one of your specialties.
After dinner, Alexander made Diana sleep in Dunkelheit Shine. He had the servants prepare a series of dresses and even nightclothes for his dear wife. He built a large closet with everything a lady could need and made her wear a silky, sensual, elegant black nightclothes while he smiled brightly. All with the excuse of "checking if the size was correct".
Diana even wanted to protest, but after seeing that there were more frightening pieces than a simple silk nightclothes, like the transparent lace nightclothes, she accepted what he suggested.
He insisted on sleeping hugged to Diana, feeling her soft and delicate floral scent.
Diana, however, was nervous. She did not really understand how this man could manipulate her to do what he wanted, and yet, he chose such a provocative play and made her wear it, and now he lay down beside her and pulled her to his broad, muscular chest.
She could feel the eight muscles of her abdomen, her warmth comfortable, and she could hear his powerful heart. She felt small and fragile in his strong arms, with defined biceps and extremely pleasing to the eyes.
She ended up sleeping in exhaustion, close to two in the morning.
