What happens, though, when he decides he no longer wants to be perfect?

I quickly turned away from him, to get the hell out of the room. But he caught my arm and pulled me back into his chest. Shit. Fuck. He buried his face in my hair, arms enclosing around me and whispered into my ear, ❝I thought things between us were getting better, is this how your gonna lie and ruin it?❞ I could feel him smiling against my ears, his fingers gently raking through my hair. I didn't reply. This is exactly the situation I didn't wanna get into, cause I know I melt when he says shit like that. ❝You gonna give up resisting me now?❞ His lips barely touching my ears.

Our Royal Love - Part 2 of Royally Yours by nidhi181002
19 parts Ongoing
"Why don't you divorce him?" the man beside me asked making all the memories hit me like a truck. His smile, his care, his love, his possessiveness, his fight against the families about our marriage, him keeping me and my comfort before everything, that cute banter, romantic kisses, assuring hugs, sincere promises, everything, every single thing about us is still roaming in my mind. How can I leave him when he is the very reason for my existence after I lost everything? But do we have any future? I don't know. "I can't do that. The board members are still not convinced about my abilities and divorcing him is going to backfire on us and they would want me to step down as the CEO. This separation thing needs to wait until I make my place in the organization," I again stalled the advances from my side giving another business reason and he walked away, convinced. I need to act quickly and find the actual culprit before he decides to send a notice from his side. I lost too much in the past 3 months and I am not ready to leave my only reason to live, My Aksh. I have to end this game soon.

"I know you only care, not because you love me, but because you love what is in me." She said and turned away, afraid of what he was going to say, how he was going to reject her. He hushed her and pulled her to him so they was no space in between, and placed his lips on hers. He pulled away and looked at her, a whirlwind of emotions in his eyes, and then spoke again. "At first, I only cared about the baby, not you. But now I want you. Because I've fallen in love with all of you. It's no longer my baby; it's now our baby." Then she pulled him back to her, to finish what he started. ... Tobi Ademi, the third richest man in Nigeria has everything an average guy wants: wealth, fame and of course, an endless supply of women. A total control freak, he prefers to be in charge of everything; even the way he gets an heir to his empire.

Something called, 'living in the moment'. And then he realizes, that he can't control everything, especially not love, because once love chooses you, there are only three words for you: out of control. ...
