Victoria Song, the ever so reliable secretary wasnt beautiful as beautiful as she could be, although

you wouldnt pass her by without noticing her even when she wore her plain clothes that dwarfed her
being, covering all her womanly curves, disallowing others the pleasure of viewing the magnificently
shaped body.
Sitting in front of her computer she mechanically typed in the document that she was assigned. It
was long and had many mistakes, that was her job though! To type it with speed and correct it along
the way!
Miss Song! the familiar authoritative voice called her name. Victoria looked up from her screen and
was gifted with the sight of her boss with his shirt slightly un-tucked with the top two buttons released
and his royal blue tie loosened. He had one hand on her desk as he leaned closer to her giving her
the wonderful view of his bronzed skin. Nichkhun Horvejkul hardly would ever be seen like that, sure
everyone knew him as the womanizer and he often went out with more out-going clothes but when
he was in the company he would be well dressed, however, as it was after hours and no one was in
the company apart from them two it was usually rather very casual. He was known not to mix
business and pleasure. Indeed it is a very dangerous mix!
Victoria forced herself to glance up at his face instead. Wrong move! He was smiling as if he knew
what she was thinking, to rip that damn shirt right off and slide her hand to feel all those rippling
muscles, she was sure that all those other females that he had been photographed with by the
paparazzi had had the chance to.
Yes Mr. Horvejkul? Victoria choked out, getting out of her fantasy, she knew better, she was
unattractive and would never be able to share the mans bed. Not that she was so free with her body
anyway! Just at her shameless thought, color graced her cheeks.
Nichkhun stood back to his normal height and took his hand off the desk and circled it to her side,
she spun her chair to look at him. Nichkhun simply turned her chair slowly around, stood behind her
and placed his arms on either side of her and looked at the computer.
No wonder you didnt hear me call you! Youve typed over 5 pages of incomprehensible gibberish
that Mr. Oks secretary always gives us! Nichkhun audibly sighed, I should really suggest to him to
find another as good as you, but Im afraid he would try to steal you away from me, with that, he
chuckled and went to the other side of the table again.
Nichkhun scowled at the idea of Victoria being stolen from him. Ok Taecyeon was as much as a
womanizer as himself, and Victoria wouldnt last a day with such a man. Nichkhun was sure that
although Victoria had every potential of being the best secretary, it wouldnt be why he would hire
her. He would probably dump the latest office fling, his secretary to get another to replace her. At
least Nichkhun was usually able of keeping business and pleasure, in two separate boxes but
Victoria was rapidly challenging his barrier. And he was so tempted.
Nichkhun had seen the way that Taecyeon had looked at Victoria and he did not appreciate that at
all.
Victoria is his. Sure, she was a little preservative but that is a fine self-importance trait. Although
Victoria enjoyed wearing business suits, that was all she wears. Business suits are practical and
would never go out of fashion. Although they definitely covered too much of her, he could just by
looking at her half exposed legs and her small delicate ankles know that she had the thighs to do
them justice. Her creamy skin
Get a grip! His brain scolded him.
Victoria let out her breath, as he was standing so close behind her a moment ago her skin had
tingled just by a little touch of his hand, What is it you want Sir? she asked simply not trusting
herself to speak anymore than that, not trusting herself. Most likely she would beg him to make love
to her right then and there on the sofa.
What is wrong with me? She thought to herself. True she has been in utter infatuation with Nichkhun
since her first day, but she never had ever held such fantasy that someone like Nichkhun would ever
even take a second glance at her.He probably doesnt see me as part of the female species!
Youve had enough for today, its late, maybe you could come to dinner with me and then I can send
you home, Nichkhun stated with a smile.
Victoria let out a nervous chuckle before starting to turn off the computer, Places you go Sir, are
places I will never go, especially not dressed in this! Victoria only ever wore to work her
sophisticated suits, and that was one thing Nichkhun adored about his secretary, she was unlike his
previous ones whom dressed in skimpy skirts to catch his attention, she didnt hold any illusion of
them two ever getting together, yet he found himself wishing that she did!
Victoria stood up and pulled her jacket off the back of her seat and slipped into it, and opened the
side drawer and took out her handbag. She went over to Nichkhun, looking up at him then smiled,
Im going home, have a nice night Mr. Horvejkul.
Nichkhun laughed as she turned to leave but he held her by the wrist, although he wanted to he
didnt pull her into his embrace, Dont be a spoil sport! A dinner is a dinner, nothing more I promise
you.
Victoria felt a wonder shiver through her body at the touch of his hand, she used her free hand to pry
his grasp off finger by finger, My job and my reputation is worth more to me than a dinner, or in
other possible situation that seems to always come up in your presence, a night of pleasure,
Victoria teased, But of course, Im not up to the standard! I dont have legs to my head! Victoria
turned, You better go and find Ms. Park or Ms. Kim for tonight, Mr. Horvejkul, and now, Sir, I must
return home. Victoria heard Nichkhuns throaty chuckle escape before the elevator doors closed.
* * *
Great! Just her luck. Victoria raced into Nichkhuns office. The one day that she comes late,
Nichkhun had come early. She had spotted his car in the parking lot. Sorry! She said as turned and
closed his door.
Wow the ever so neat Miss Song, has her hair coming out of her neat pony tail, Nichkhun teased
before looking at his watch, and is five minutes late! He turned around in his chair and looked out
the window, Wheres the pig?
Victoria smiled and reached up to move the strand of hair that had escaped and tucked it behind her
ear, It is not that I am improper since no one is perfect and I am definitely not an exception.
However, I believe that the days that pigs truly will fly will be the day you that marry.
Victoria heard Nichkhun chuckle. She had made him laugh more in the last 24 hours than ever
since her recruitment. Nichkhun turned in his chair, Alright, Ive now seen that humorous side of
you, very cute, however we must get back to work.
Victoria pulled out the seat in front of him and sat down taking out her note pad as it was her usual
routine, put that away I have some things to say but Im sure you dont need to note it down.
She put her pad and pen back into her pocket, So what is it Mr. Horvejkul?
I hope you have no dates or important businesses this week Nichkhun said in that rich
handsome voice.
No need to hope, as you know I am not in any relationship, what is it? A week of after hours?
No, business has forced us to have to travel, there are some problems at the Horvejkul Casino,
Nichkhun stated simply and as he expected she knew what he was speaking of.
Victorias eyes widened, You mean we have to go to Las Vegas? You cant mean that Mr. Horvejkul
has done something wrong? Nichkhun nodded, But your brother is not any lacking at the business
than you are.
Indeed, Nichan had a sudden fall out, Nichkhun smiled, Actually he has to return home once in a
while to visit the parents, and it so happens to be, now. I need to fill in there while he is here.
Horvejkul Enterprise was an ancestral business and unlike many other enterprises whom only have
one heir, the Horvejkul Enterprise was fairly distributed to the heirs. Senior Mr. Horvejkul had two
sons, the business part of the Enterprise was given to his youngest Nichkhun Horvejkul, while the
hospitality and leisure centres were given to his older son Nichan Horvejkul. It suited both very well
as Nichkhun was extremely interested in the stock market and the art of persuasion. While Nichan
was rather into the leisure of sitting back and designing areas for people to enjoy, and once
renovations have happened, the profit of the area would reimburse him rather quickly.
Victoria nodded knowingly, I understand, when do we go? she was excited about her first trip out of
Korea, with all expenses paid for as well.
One of the major reasons Victoria had chose to apply for the job as Nichkhuns secretary was
because in the job description it had added that she may have unexpected flights to go anywhere
around the world. Being that she had never travelled it was extremely tempting. Having a passport
made right on the day of her first interview with Nichkhun.
Nichkhun could see the stars of happiness in those bright eyes, Today, so you must return home
immediately and pack. Must I remind you that I plan to stay there for a week, and it is summer, he
gave her a flirtatious wink.
Color flooded her cheeks, When is the flight Mr. Horvejkul?
Ill be at your building at 2, so have your luggage ready, He said with a boyish smile.
Victoria wasnt about to ask how he knew where she lived, because he probably didnt until 1:50
when he remembered that he didnt know and would simply go through her profile, it wasnt like she
lived very far away anyway, so it shouldnt be a problem, Ill see you at 2 sharp then Mr. Horvejkul.
She was about to stand and leave when she realized she had forgotten the most important thing.
Do I bring my laptop, and recorder?
Just swim suits, and dresses, Nichkhun said, and she knew that he was teasing her. What did she
think, it was a Holiday? No lap top, no recorder, just swim suits and dresses? Yeah right!
Before Nichkhun could get out of the silver sports car, Victoria opened the front passenger door and
poked her head in, Should I leave the luggage in the back or in the front?. Before Nichkhun could
answer her first question she continued, Would I be sitting at the back or in the front?
Nichkhun raised a lean hand to silence her before taking off his Ray-bans, Not too many questions,
he said simply and got out of the car to be by her side and picked up her suitcase then bought it over
to his boot which was already opened. Victoria stood behind her boss, grateful for the view of his
lean back.
Nichkhun turned around and looked at Victoria up and down, Ah Miss Song, your usual suits, do
you have an unlimited selection?
Victoria blushed just at the thought of Nichkhun noticing her clothes, but she chose to ignore the
question, So do I sit at the front or at the back? she said with a professional smile.
As anyone else would say, Miss Song, wherever you wish. Beside me, or behind me, nothing
changes the fact that you would be sitting beside me and then sleeping beside me, together for 10
hours or more. Nichkhun said going beside the doors, So where would it be?
If you put it that way Mr. Horvejkul, I suppose I shall sit in front and fill the air in my face! Victoria
said going to the front, and Nichkhun opened it for her when she was seated he closed the door.
* * *
Victoria and Nichkhun sat side by side on the plane, both were in First Class. There was an
awkward silence between them as it so happens although Victoria had worked for Nichkhun for
several months they had never had a leisure talk or rest together, it had always been busy and
professional.
With an inaudible sigh, Victoria reached down for her shoulder bag and took out her laptop and
placed it onto the fold-out-table. Victoria could feel Nichkhun looking at her so after she pressed the
power button she turned to Nichkhun only to see him raise his eyebrows at her.
I thought I told you, just swimsuits and dresses, Nichkhun stated rather than asked.
Victoria rolled her eyes before looking at the laptop again, logging on to the internet, I know youre
joking, but even if you werent, I would have still brought them along. Im what you call an internet
junkie, first she checked her email in case there was any problems in the office, the other
employees often sends emails to her so that she could refer it back to the boss, Nichkhun.
Why are you so quiet? Victoria asked out aloud and waited for an answer but after a while, she
didnt get one so she turned around and saw Nichkhun sleeping, You cant be serious!
Scared that he would break his neck, she pressed the button and lowered his chair before breaking
the seal of the blanket and threw it over him. Then she continued back with her computer for another
2 hours before she too settled down for the night.
* * *
Victoria didnt know what but she felt like she really needed to open her eyes at that moment. Mr.
Horvejkul! Victoria exclaimed, before covering her mouth with both hands remembering that she just
woke up and havent brushed her teeth. What are you doing? her voice was muffled by her hands.
Nichkhun laughed before reaching out and moved her hands, The breakfast will be coming around,
what would you like?
Victoria brought her hands back up, Whatever they have that is nice, errwhatever you have
basically, she said before getting up taking her toothbrush with her to the toilets.
* * *
The aroma of the different breakfasts filled the air as Victoria walked back to her seat, she saw
Nichkhun eating as he watched the screen in front of him with his headphones in place. He looked
so calm rather than the demanding boss whom was always in a rush.
* * *
I cant believe you rented a car that is exactly like the one you have at home. Victoria said as she
yawned, stretching her hands. Home wasnt meant to mean any particular intimacies were current
but simply South Korea.
Its the best car right now, and no it isnt rental. It's mine, with that last statement Nichkhun turned
on his radio.
The warm air was refreshing on her skin and on impulse she released her hair from the tight ponytail
so that she could feel the air run through it, and as expected it felt delightful. It felt so wonderful that
she simply didnt even realize that Nichkhun was slowing down already, ready to stop in front of a
large hotel by a larger casino. Nichkhun turned to Victoria and watched her hair flowing down on her
shoulders, her eyes were closed she looked like a Sirenshe was a Siren.
As if she knew he was watching her as he had in the morning her eyes fluttered open. To hide the
fact that he was looking, he laughed, "Miss Song you got to admit that pigs should be flying!
Victoria hastily bunched up her hair, brushing it with her fingers before tying it up in a messy pony
tail. Nichkhun got out of the car but before he could go to her side to open the door for her she had
already gotten out by herself. Nichkhun wanted to be like an escort, to hold her by the waist and lead
her in or having his hand at her back to guide her in, but he did not dare, instead he gestured his
hand in front for her to walk in front of him.
Dont we need to bring in the luggage? Victoria asked calmly, pointing a slender finger at the car
boot.
Nichkhun got what he wanted, an excuse to slide his arm to her waist and move her towards the
entrance, Victoria turned her head to look at the car, she struggled to get out but Nichkhun was
stronger than her, Miss Song you must not worry, the valet will move the car and the workers will
bring the luggage up, what we have to do is check in, he said with a shrug. Still feeling her
struggling, he let her go and she simply walked forward taking his gesture as impatience.
* * *
This is our room, Nichkhun announced as he opened the door to the large room.
Victoria was flabbergasted. Sure the room was large and pretty but that wasnt why. Our room?
Sure, Nichkhun said flopping himself onto the couch.
You and me, share a room? Victoria choked out without even noticing the fact that the current
room that she was standing in didnt even have a bed. Nichkhun simply nodded then gave her a
quick flirtatious wink.
Her cheeks warmed and she knew that it must have been red, You cant be serious! Im your
secretary, not your damn mistress! You can get all those girls, your usual Asian bimbos with legs to
their heads! Victorias usual calmness fled her.
Dont fret Honey, your room is over there, Nichkhun said moving his head towards a door, and my
room is over there, he pointed to a door behind her. But then, maybe I shouldnt let you in your
room, as you have reminded me, none of my bimbos are here. And I know I wont be able to stand
even a day of celibacy.
The door slammed, Nichkhun grimaced, Maybe I shouldnt have said that, he thought to himself
before he shook his head. With an amused smile he got up and entered his room in the business
suit he had the workers provide for him and his secretary.
* * *
Victoria rushed into her room, spotting a door, she fled into the bathroom, turning on the tap and
splashed her face to cool herself. Turning off the tap she looked up into the gold framed mirror.
Hes only playing with you, she said in a quiet voice, He would never bed you. Let alone when he
is in a foreign country with all the true bimbos whom want to catch a rich husband walking around!
she said with a little more anger in her tone.
* * *
A phone ringing could be heard so Victoria exited the bathroom to go to the cabinet that is beside
the bed and picked up the phone, Nichkhun Horvejkuls secretary, Victoria Song speaking. How
may I help you?
Nichkhuns smile could be heard as he spoke, Have I told you that our stay here should be more
relaxed than at home?
Forgetting that he could not see her expression, she shook her head slightly as she answered him.
Well then, it is. Dress casually, I will be in the middle room in an hour waiting for you. We need to
walk around the casino to get familiarized with it, Nichkhun said.
Give me five minutes and Ill be done Mr. Horvejkul, Victoria said without prior thinking, but as she
was saying it she realized he must wanted to do something beforehand, Sorry Mr. Horvejkul, but if it
will be in an hour, so be it, if you need to find me though, call my handphone because I will be
roaming the city for a while.
Victoria could hear Nichkhun sigh before he spoke, I guess its too much if I say relax and that you
call me Nichkhun? Victoria was quiet and Nichkhun took that as his answer, Ill take you around the
city, meet you in the middle room in five minutes if that is what you want.
No, that is not what I wa- Victoria was cut off.
Then Ill give you the whole hour, then we go around the city, then tomorrow we can stay in the
casino. How does that sound? Nichkhun asked.
Victoria was shocked. He was willing to put back a day for her? Not good. I want to go around the
city by myself, and I dont want to waste time, you stay and do your thing Ill be back in an hours
time.
I insist, Nichkhun said and it was said as a final statement.
Victoria sighed, No, we can go down to the casino in an hour, I feel tired now. I think Ill take a nap.
Miss Song Nichkhun began to protest but the phone was already put down.
* * *
Victoria left her room forty-five minutes after her conversation with Nichkhun expecting herself to be
early except that wasnt the case as Nichkhun was on the couch with a glass of whisky in hand
swelling it around before taking a sip.
Mr. Horvejkul, she greeted him. Nichkhun looked up from his whisky glass and analyzed her
clothing.
Nichkhun stood and reached her in three long strides, I thought I told you, bikinis and dresses only.
Victoria let out a sweet laugh, Stop joking Sir, its not like Ill be going to the casino wearing a bikini.
I dont own any dresses let alone a bikini! Victoria headed for the door, Lets go.
Nichkhun walked to her side, Definitely, he drawled, Go shopping, and Im paying.
* * *
Through much protesting and complaining, Nichkhun ended up only purchasing one pink dress,
which she didnt even try on, which proved to be something that she had miscalculated.
The dress was pale pink which ended above the knee, spaghetti straps, with a low cut at the back
although it covered her breasts to her liking, but because of the low cut back Victoria was forced to
go without a bra.
With shaking hands Victoria reached out to turn the door knob
Sitting in the middle room, Nichkhun waited for Victoria to change out of her business suit to the
beautiful pink he knew she would look divine in. When he heard the door knob being turned he
looked towards her room immediately.
One look, just one look at her and he was shocked. No, not because she looked absolutely stunning
because he knew she could if she tried. But because he could tell that Victoria was not wearing a
damn bra.
Victoria stood rooted to the ground as she watched a smirk appear on Nichkhuns face as he came
closer to her. She couldnt fight him when he placed both hands on her waist. And she wouldnt.
You are so beautiful, he whispered huskily making her shiver delightfully. Nichkhun ran a finger up
her arm, a sensational warmth filled her as his finger touched her velvet skin.
When Nichkhuns finger went the whole way up he used the same finger to tilt Victorias head and he
bent his head to kiss the side of her mouth, then he gave a light peck on her full lips before kissing
the other neglected side.
Nichkhun had only wanted to tease her but he could no longer stop himself, he slipped both arms to
encircle her waist as he nibbled her bottom lip, she still didnt respond to his kisses but he knew she
enjoyed it because she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer. When he used his
tongue to lightly seek entrance to her ever so delightful mouth, she opened to him willingly. He could
feel her experiment tongue coming to meet his before she lost it totally.
* * *
Nichkhun pulled away before the both of them die from lack of oxygen, he smiled before caressing
her cheek with the back of his hand. She blushed delightfully drawing his gaze to her swollen lips
that made him feel possessive and proud.
He lifted her off her feet as he carried her to his room and laid soft caressing kiss on her nose before
kissing her full on the lips once again.
Nichkhun placed Victoria down lightly in the middle of his bed as if she was made of porcelain. She
stared up at him with bunny eyes filled with desire that mirrored his own. He knelt over her with his
knees on the side of her own. He slowly lay on top of her with his elbows on the bed to relieve her of
his whole weight.
Tell me if Im too heavy, he told her as he slowly eased some of his weight onto her as he bent his
head and kissed her neck extracting a soft moan from her.
* * *
In her state of pure bliss Victoria remembered what Nichkhun had said about his extended celibacy
state and all of the sudden she felt like a cheap whore. She pushed him off her and scurried to the
side of the bed and pulled the blanket to cover her naked breast which he had been freely caressing.
Nichkhun was flat on his back looking severely deadly, he was like a cat being led on by a little
mouse for fun and when the mouse had enough exercise it would just recede into its own safe little
hole. Nichkhun sat up to confront Victoria but when he saw the look in her eyes it was as if he could
read them, his look softened.
Victoria, he said softly. Her name was ordinary but yet with his lazy drawl it sounded so beautiful,
so intimate, Ive wanted you to share my bed since the day you came for the interview. I am not
going to use you, I can stand a week of celibacy, he laughed, okay that is a lie, I probably cant. But
as you know I could just go down and get any girl, there are many who would like a night of pleasure
without strings attached, especially in Vegas, but Vic, I dont care about them. The girl I want is you,
he said moving closer bending his head and nibbled the delicate skin of her ear.
Victoria melted in his arms and she knew that although she was risking everything, one time spent in
this mans arms could make her happy for the rest of her living days.
Victoria was in heaven when Nichkhun slid down from her face to kiss her left breast as he
massaged the other with his big hands. Victoria didnt have huge D-cup breasts but they filled his
hand lovingly as if they were made for his caress. On its own account her body jutted up to meet his
and he could no longer wait. He got off her.
I dont want to rip the dress off you Vic, you better take it off yourself, he said huskily as he pulled
his white shirt off and kicked his pants off.
Victoria slipped the already half way off dress down her legs, when she was about to take her
panties off Nichkhun stilled her hands, let me do that, as he eased his weight on her once again,
her bare breasts touched his hard chest. Nichkhun slipped a finger into her panties and pushed it
down before using his leg to push it off her.
He used his knees to move her thighs apart, his hand slid down once more as he began kissing
Victoria passionately and slid his finger within feeling her tightness surround his finger.
Youre so damn tight, he said as her cheeks flushed. He moved his finger sensually within her until
she squirmed with pleasure.
Her nails bit into his shoulders, Nichkhun I want you now! she cried in frustration.
Your wish is my command, he said laughing as he took his finger out from her and reached behind
her under the pillow and pulled out a condom and ripped the packet open before sheathing his
erected penis, he then placed his phallus at the entrance of her sweetness, You are a sex kitten,
he said thrusting in deep breaching her innocence, she let out a scream of pain. Color was drained
from his face as he realized just at that moment what he had done and he tried to pull out but she
wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him back to her. Victoria youre youre a virgin! he
blurted out in a gruff voice.
A light smile brightened her face, Was, Khun, was, she said breathlessly, reaching up and pulled
his head closer to her before leaning her head sideways to nibble at his necks delicate flesh, he
moaned before saying breathlessly.
Ive never had sex with a virgin before, does it hurt? I wasnt even being gentle! You shouldve told
me! He said once again trying to pull out from her sweet delicious warmth that felt so exquisite
surrounding his manhood.
Would you have believed me for one and secondly, just give me a moment, she grimaced as
although the pain was only for a split second it was still hard to get used to his large manhood filling
her so completely.
Nichkhun started whispering endearments into her ear until he felt her relax and moved delicious
underneath making him lose his control, and he began pumping into her with long hard thrusts which
she met halfway, every time they moaned the pleasure they called each other pet-names no one
had ever dared called them, neither Victoria nor Nichkhun knew there were so many different ways
to say each of their names so intimately, so sweetly until it came from their partners lips.
Victoria was at a moment of bliss, she felt an involuntary shiver erupt through her whole body before
she lay spent and Nichkhun gave his last thrust before his seeds spilled, he lay restless above her
for a moment before rolling over and got off the bed to head for the bin before coming back to her
with a grim face. He lay back beside her, letting her lean onto his shoulder and they both lay there
spent.
Did I do something wrong? Victoria asked looking up at Nichkhun with her swollen lips, she was
worried. Nichkhun had on a completely grim face. She hoped with all her heart that he didnt regret
what had happened.
Nichkhun looked down at Victoria with adoring eyes, No, you were perfect even beyond my
imagination. Im afraid Im the one that did something wrong, his eyes told her he was regretful, it
was weight off her heart that it wasnt because he regretted it but because something else has gone
array and he was feeling very guilty of it.
With a smile that made even her eyes smile, she placed her hand on his chest and moved her hand
gracefully across his skin, You need not feel guilty for anything. I gave it to you, you didnt steal it.
Just close your eyes and sleep, and Ill leave. When you wake, Ill be your ever dependable
secretary. Ill act as though nothing has happened, she was about to push herself up from him to
leave the room with dignity but decided she needed to be sure he understood one thing, It was
wonderful. Ill never forget even if you do.
With the intended parting words, she used her hand and pushed herself up from Nichkhun to get up,
however, her wrists were encircled by his large hand as he pulled her back into his embrace.
Youll do no such thing, Miss Song, his choice of name for her was to tease her with such a formal
greeting, his eyes showed a glint of mischievous, You will grant me the privilege of using your
Christian name wont you?
Victoria pretended to give the idea a thought, she circled her finger on his sensitive skin, I dont
know. You seem to have used it before more than anyone ever had in a year! she giggled then
filling the room with a sirenian song. Victoria noted the mock pout Nichkhun gave her, Oh alright,
you can call me anything you like, Nichkhun had a triumph smile but she had to be sure she
finished her conditions, that is, only when we are alone, be it after hour work or in bed, again
Nichkhun smiled, she couldnt resist adding in, But I doubt that, he frowned, So what is it you want
to say?
Nichkhun reached in the blanket and placed his hand on her breast caressing her nipple which
hardened, he smiled as she squirmed in his embrace, Somehow I had expected someone like you
to be on the pill, he tried to explain without hurting her feelings so when she tangled her legs with
his he wanted to continue.
So you expected me to be more experienced, is that it? he nodded and was going to continue with
his speech, You are disappointed with my inexperience? she knew that that wasnt it. She didnt
know why she was so certain. But she just was.
His hand abandoned the warmth of her breast and moved to hold her hand, squeezing it tight, If
anything, it makes me feel proud. Problem is dont cut me off this time alright? she answered him
with a silent nod, I wore a condom, you know that, but when I realized you were a virgin, that was
before I breached it of course, I tried to pull out, but when you she nodded so that he didnt need
to explain what had happened and he could guess why as he saw color darkening her cheeks, Well
I kind of got excited and forgot what could happen in such a state the condom broke.
Victoria pulled her hand away from his grip and covered her mouth with a loud gasp, Nichkhun
sighed before reaching out and pulled her hands away and held it close to his own chest, It past my
mind that you wouldnt even have a second protection if anything happened. Im sorry.
Victoria closed her eyes for a brief moment, before opening her eyes to look in Nichkhuns eyes, and
for the briefest moment she tried to deny her feelings, she loved the man in front of her, she even
admitted it to herself, I love Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul.
Marry me, it was a statement rather than a question that it should be, and it made Victorias eyes
flutter open immediately.
What? she managed to choke out in a voice short of a whisper.
Marry me, he repeated, I dont want any of my children to be born out of wedlock and I dont want
anyone to think that you trapped me into a marriage that way.
I might not even be pregnant!
You could be just the same.
You say that you dont want anyone thinking that I trapped you, but isnt that what is happening?
that shocked him speechless.
Victoria used all the force she could and got off the bed in all and no more than she was born with,
bobbed down and put on the dress hurriedly.
Victoria dont go, we need to talk about this, and believe me Ill chase you to your room stark
naked! Nichkhun said as she was at the door.
Hesitantly she turned around to face him, Ill come back, give me ten minutes, he wanted to object
but she had already left and he trusted her but hell be damned if she thought he was going to get
dressed!
* * *
Fresh from the shower she was dressed in her usual business attire before she went to Nichkhuns
room knocking lightly before she entered only to find Nichkhun the way she left him in the bed
underneath the blanket he indeed was naked and she knew it.
Nichkhun smiled his alluring smile before patting the spot beside him telling her to sit, she obliged.
When Nichkhun reached out to pull her into his embrace however, she sent him a deadly look that
seem to say dont touch me.
Victoria, I
Mr. Horvejkul, I know you think that marriage is the best option that we have but I dont believe in
divorce, Victoria said simply trying to build a wall to cover her real reason, she couldnt stand
marrying a man that she loved, knowing he only married her because he thought he should be
responsible.
There wont be a divorce Victoria, even if you are not pregnant, we will always stay married, and
dont you dare call me Mr. Horvejkul again!
Youll only blame me in the end Mr. Horv Nichkhun, I dont want this, dont force me, Victoria
said, It was just sex. Lets not make it bigger than what it truly is!
Victorias words hurt him deep and he wanted so badly to prove her wrong. Nichkhun pulled Victoria
to him, kissed her full on the mouth and although she fought him for a while she became lost in his
kiss and returned with all her passion. He slowly and enticingly unbuttoned each and every one on
her suit, before throwing the black jacket away. It hit the wall and fell to the ground as Nichkhun
pulled the white shirt out from her skirt as one of his hands came in and caressed her protected
breast, his other hand started unbuttoning her white blouse.
She managed to be able to push him away from her far enough so that she could take a breath but
he continued to caress and undress her, Nichkhun Taking his chance he plunged his lips on hers
and dipped his tongue within her mouth, her arms began working as his were. Her hands travelled
around his body, feeling his hard rippling muscles.
Nichkhun stopped caressing her breast and Victoria groaned her protest which was muffled by his
mouth and she could feel him smiling against her own lips. Nichkhuns previously busy hand went
behind her back and unclipped her bra skillfully, using both hands now he pushed her white blouse
off her shoulders before taking her bra off, and without shame stared at her delicious front before
dipping his head and kiss her between the mounds before licking her nipple which hardened at his
wet touch, she arched up, and he slid a hand down her skirt. She was already wet with need for
him. That was encouragement of its own. He didnt have time to take the skirt off so instead pushed
it above her waist, pulled off her panties to be at her knees before he entered her fully before pulling
out as she moaned deliciously as she pierce his shoulders with her nails. He pumped in and out of
her, whispering endearments, each calling out each others name at the moment of release. He
rolled off her and pulled her to lie of top of him as both lay breathless in each others arms.
Victoria wanted to move her head slightly to look up at him, but to his pleasure she moved her whole
body jerking his member alive once more.
Im tired, he groaned, she could feel his manhood against her thighs and she giggled deliciously.
Nothing I can do about it, she circled his nipples with her finger before lightly licking it, testing
before he moaned her name.
Yes you can, he said placing his hands on her hips, Sit up so I can get up, he said although he
wasnt thinking of doing such thing.
Victoria obliged but when she was about to get off him and lie back down on the bed he tightened
his hold on her waist and turned her around before lifting her up a little. He let her down a little and
she could feel his member entering her she moaned his name.
Nichkhun moved ever so slowly until she sat on him, he was in her so deep she could feel her in her
deepest areas, Do as you please, your turn to do the work! he winked before she slapped him
playfully.
Victoria tried getting up instead she felt the pleasure as when he was pulling out of her before filling
her once again, she moaned loud and he pulled her back moaning himself, Come on Vic, he
invited.
Victoria began pumping him at her own speed, he was under her control. She moved slowly,
torturing him as he had tortured her.
He smirked after she had moved down again, Little Minx, he said pulling her head in to kiss her
delicious mouth.
He wriggled his waist and she moaned against his lips and began moving faster above him with him
meeting her every thrust. His seed spilled within her as he felt her shudder with delight before
collapsing on him with him still in her.
* * *
Having her cradled in his embrace as she was now, satiated he knew he could change her mind,
You cant tell me that was just sex, he said.
Victoria yawned and snuggled closer into him, he then noticed how tired she must be from his
overdrive. He couldnt let himself feel guilty for that. It was as much as her fault as it was his. She
was the most irresistible being he had set eyes on, just watching her taking in her gentle even
breaths were making him want her again. He knew he couldnt wake her though, instead he nuzzled
into her soft ebony hair and he too, soon fell into deep slumber.
* * *
Victoria opened her eyes and was presented with Nichkhuns chest, she smiled, and looked up at
Nichkhun face before she lay there thinking, Could I marry him, she thought to herself.
Nichkhun opened his eyes and found Victoria was beside him looking at him with those beautiful
bunny eyes, he stretched his arms before pulling her close and kissed her forehead.
We have even more reasons to marry now, Nichkhun said smiling holding close.
Although Victoria couldnt and wouldnt push him away she moved her head and looked up at him,
What? she teased.
Sex Kitten, he said smirking, You made me so excited none of those times did I use a condom
Youre joking? her voice shook. He shook his head, Are you sure you wont blame me in the end
for trapping you into this marriage?
He bent down and kissed her once again with all the passion he posses, I wont blame you, he
promised, Changed your mind?
Well if we can have this much fun every night I dont see why not, she said smiling.
Doesnt have to be a nightly practice only, he said.
A cute brow raised, Really? and he knew she was teasing.
Little Minx! he began kissing her and getting on top of her again. She returned his kiss but pushed
him off when he was about to do more than just kiss.
She smiled and sat up, she moved towards the edge of the bed and reached down to get her white
blouse and began buttoning it, We really need to tour the casino, she felt Nichkhuns arms wrap
around her waist before his heads leaned in the crook of her neck and shoulder, and kissed her
there, I need to shower as well.
Shower with me, he said stopping for a moment before nibbling again. Nichkhun leaned back on
the bed and smiled, Shower with me? he said again.
As if! We wouldnt finish in three hours! she said gesturing to his growing manhood underneath the
blanket.
He looked down, Damn! But without you, Ill need a cold shower! he whined.
Tough luck, She said picking up the skirt from the bottom of the bed and slipped into it, she was
half way through the door when he called her back, she turned around.
Okay, we take separate baths, but we are getting married as soon as possible, he said warningly,
That means before the tour of the casino.
Do I wear that pink dress? Or my white business suit? Victoria asked innocently.
Youre not getting married in either. Although the pink dress is something we are to treasure, it isnt
going to be your wedding dress, Nichkhun said and Victoria once again began blushing, Only Im
allowed to see you in that dress. Wear the white business suit while we go shopping.
Victoria knew he didnt want it to sound as if he had bought her, but it did. Just that little statement
made her think herself as nothing but an expensive little mistress.
She didnt like that idea, connotations of women wearing black short dresses that barely covered the
little behinds with their red painted nails, professionally manicured, and the deep sensual red lipstick.
However another part of Victoria felt as though she was in a fairy tale, how many times have she
settled down with a book at night reading romantic tales about a secretary and her rich boss?
Always imagining herself the secretary and Nichkhun the boss, relishing in the passion they might be
able to excite. It had been so much better.
Victoria knew that fairy tales were a fantasy, and fantasy never lasts, one day they will evaporate
and disappear never to be seen again. She would be thrown back into reality, into the cold sufferable
miserable life. Knowing that she loved the Prince in her magnificent dream wasnt any salvation for
her. Made it worse, really, but who said one can choose when and who they fall in love with?
Without knocking, Nichkhun walked freely into her room, Are you ready yet? he asked knowing the
answer as he saw her wearing nothing but her undergarments.
Victoria turned from the bed which had her clothes lay out in front of her to face Nichkhun with a little
quirky smile, Yeah sure, lets go, she started to his side.
Nichkhuns hands spread out in front of him, a gesture of surrender, Ill kill any man who sees you,
he said in reflex not realizing how protective and possessive the words were. Making Victoria feel
more important than she should in the mans life.
Ask a stupid question, she shrugged going on with her clich phrase, get a stupid answer.
Nichkhun smiled. Taking long definite strides he came to stand in front of her, then reached a hand
behind her to grab her white shirt. Standing full height again, he then bent over to give her a slow
short kiss that sent delicious shivers to go wild within her body.
He released her mouth and held out the shirt behind her back so that she could slip her hands in,
when she wanted to button up her shirt, he still her hands with his.
Let me, he said huskily, obviously aroused. He slide a hand across the top of her bosom before
buttoning the top slowly buttoning each to the last one every button he ran a finger on her soft
delicate skin, arousing both of them to no avail.
* * *
With his arm snaked around her waist they walked through the Vegas Mall, and although weddings
in Vegas were taken for granted and were usually on the spur of the moment there still were stores
of beautiful and uniquely made wedding gowns for the rich and the famous, why leave out something
although insignificant but would bring in money?
Wants and needs are separated by a very thin line. Wasnt that the saying of all business people?
Victoria had never seen anything like it, instead of her needing to enter the store, go through the
many racks full of clothes then finally trying them on for her dearly beloved. All Nichkhun and Victoria
did was sit around a comfortable table with the owner of the store, Mrs. Thompson, as they watched
many beautiful, long legged blond models wear the many exquisite dresses walking out from the
back of the store, where they undoubtedly change, to the front to show off their products as if they
were on the cat walk.
What Victoria made note of however, was that in Nichkhuns world there was no use of a price tag,
what you want, you get, no matter the price.
Bringing her out of her spacing out was Nichkhuns usual calm rough voice, What do you think of
this one? he asked her squeezing her hand as a symbol of encouragement, Victoria turned to him
only to see a knowing smirk cross his face.
He must know that Im not used to this and is having the time smiling at me! Victoria thought to
herself, she gave him a smile of her own before looking back at the tenth dress that had been shown
to her. Once again it was too much. Unique as they are they was too in-your-face style, and Victoria
wanted anything but. Noticing that Nichkhun was clearly waiting for her answer she shook her head
slowly before turning to Mrs. Thompson, speaking in clear English.
Mrs. Thompson, do you having any lets say, less flashy, I want it to be something beautiful but
simple, not with pearls and 1 carat diamonds gleaming everywhere or at least be more concealing.
Victoria said with her hands expressing her utter dislike.
Mrs. Thompson was taken aback, who in their right mind would marry a man like Nichkhun Horvejkul
and not want to show off? But being the businesswoman that she is, disgust didnt show on her face,
instead she smiled kindly before clapping her hands calling out her assistant which everyone could
see was queer.
Nigel, let the girls wear designs from the WhiteLily collection, Mrs. Thompson said.
Expressing his happiness, Nigel had clapped sideways in front of him before turning to Victoria with
a happy grin, They are just wonderful, believe me! He leaned in closer to whisper in her ears and
her ears only, I take you dont like the flashy stuff as much as I do! he leaned back and received a
beautiful smile from Victoria, they are simply wonderful! Ill get the girls to wear them for you
immediately!
Nigel made for a turn when Victoria spoke up, Nigel? he turned around with a questioning brow
raised, Actually afraid that Nichkhun might dislike her request, as it could embarrass him she
turned and pulled him away to ask for his permission.
What is it Vic? with one look in her eyes gleamed with defiance he was worried, Dont tell me you
just want to go without a dress or into a normal store to select a normal white dress. Cause Im not
going to allow it!
That wouldnt be a bad idea actually, she mumbled softly as if she was thinking, knowing clearly
that he could still hear her.
Although I want this marriage to happen immediately, if we cant find the dress that is perfect for
both of us, we will wait until we do! His tone contained anger, it no longer contained patience, she
knew he was annoyed with her.
Victoria rolled her eyes, Must I remind you Mr. Horvejkul that I wasnt the one who wanted this
marriage in the first place!
That statement coming from her mouth made him physically flinch.
Victoria saw the hurt pride shown in his eyes and quickly tried to remedy it will a little kiss, she went
on her tip toes and placed her lips on his for a short fast kiss, instead when she was about to break
away, Nichkhun snaked an arm to her waist and held her close and bent his head down to take her
mouth fully in a passionate kiss. Moments later he released her lips which was now swollen from his
kiss but continued to hold her close feeling her body close to his.
Victoria smiled shyly, However, that was not what I was about to suggest, It didnt even cross my
mind! she said desperately wanting to show him she was as serious of their marriage even more so
then he was, Although this is an extraordinary marriage, made with haste, I want it as normal as it
can be.
What are you suggesting, Sweet? his random endearment brought warmth to her heart.
I want us to be as a normal couple, go through the racks ourselves. Select a few items or one that
suits our eyes, then I change into it and you tell me how I look, and because you are already wearing
a suit I would just need to stand beside you and see if it suits. she said with a little shrug of her
shoulders.
Nichkhun contemplated the idea before placing a kiss on her forehead, Alright but I need to change
too, Victoria raised a brow, into a white suit, he answered and Victoria smiled.
* * *
Mrs. Thompson, Nigel, Victoria began, If you dont mind I would like to have a look at the possible
choices and try on the gowns myself.
Before Mrs. Thompson would protest, Nigel expressed his excitement with his hands before pulling
Victoria over to the displays. When Nichkhun had said no man would know her as he would, he
meant it. Not just in bed but even the physical sense of simple holding her in any intimate way even
if it was a arm-in-arm, or a hand hold, or a lean palm at the back of her back to guide the way. No
matter if the man was gay or not. Nichkhun was seething in anger as he watched Victoria being
pulled by Nigel by the arm to a rack of dresses.
Nichkhun decided to express his dislike later when they were alone, he didnt want to see the
knowing smiles of Mrs. Thompson taking his utter disgust as jealousy, which it definitely
wasnt, What is mine is mine alone.
Nichkhun turned to Mrs. Thompson expressing his wants for a white suit, telling her to get him the
suit giving her his size, she happily obliged. Nichkhun then went calmly over to Victoria and Nigel
whom was excitedly showing Victoria all the different dresses from the WhiteLily collection, which
happened to be so plain even Victoria thought it was terrible, true it had different styles but most
looked alike with the simple cuts, it looked like if she had gone into Central Lane and chose a white
party dress.
When Nichkhun got to Victorias side he slipped his arm around her waist and she laid her head
tiredly on his shoulder.
Do you want to go and eat lunch then come back? Nichkhuns previous fires were extinguished by
the look in her eyes when she looked up at him in distress, but when he made the suggestion she
smiled.
No Ill be fine, she wanted to find the perfect dress before she ate because she knew she wouldnt
be able to eat if she didnt.
Victoria raised her head from his lean shoulder and shook her head as Nigel showed her yet another
simple style from the WhiteLily collection.
Nigel, would you leave Nichkhun and I to our own devices? I would like to browse at my own
speed, the side of his lips dropped and Nigel nodded sadly.
Ill go and tell all the models to get out of the back room, and when you are done just go behind that
door and you will be able to see the changing rooms, once changed come out and show it to us, I
just saw Mrs. Thompson holding a white suit to the back so Im sure youll be able to find it and
change into it later, Nigel said before moving away from them with sadness etched into his beautiful
blue eyes.
Great now I feel bad! Victoria groaned in Chinese. She turned back to Nichkhun, Should I call him
back?
Nichkhun moved to have a thorough look through the stand, No I think you did the right thing.
Because Nichkhun was now standing in front of her and she needed the feeling of comfort she
leaned her cheek onto his back and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Nichkhun knew Victorias kind nature, he knew that she needed some time after being rather blunt to
an excited man whom was saddened by her actions. Also Nichkhun was glad she chose to find
comfort in him rather than keep it within.
Nichkhuns hands stilled so that he would not disturb her peace, they stayed in that position for a
while before Victoria at last lifted her face and moved to his side smiling brightly.
They began going through the rack together, not finding anything they liked they went to the next
rack and as they went through the dresses a beautiful dress caught both their eyes and they pulled it
out. It was simple, and unique at the same time. Both held hands and even without words they knew
that if that dress didnt look good on Victoria then nothing else in this store would and they would just
go to another. They went to the back room. Nichkhun noted that his white suit was in the second
changing room.
Do you want me to help you change? Nichkhun asked in a husky voice that Victoria recognized
immediately.
Color flooded her cheeks the way that Nichkhun liked, Ill change myself besides you need to
change too.
* * *
Nichkhun was ready before she was and stood outside her changing room, Are you finished, you
want me to help you now?
It was silent for a while and Nichkhun started getting worried, No Im almost fin err could you call
Mrs. Thompson in? Victoria requested.
What is the matter? Nichkhun worried tone was not unrecognized and once again his random show
of affection filled Victoria with warmth.
Nothing to bother you with, just call her in please, Victoria said.
Victoria could hear an audible sigh escape him, Alright.
Before he could move much further than five steps she called out to him stopping him in his tracks,
Dont come back in with her, I want you to see me for the first time while we are out there to show
Nigel and Mrs. Thompson, I owe him that much. And it would be wonderful to see your face when I
come through those curtains like those models did.
Now that is temptation itself! Nichkhun said with a lazy smile that she couldnt see but could sense,
Alright see you in a moment then, he said pocketing his hands in the straight cut white pants.
* * *
Victoria had had Mrs. Thompson go and purchase for her a strapless bra saying that it would be
added into the pay however, the woman announced that bras never look good with a wedding dress,
even though she hadnt seen which dress Victoria was wearing. Instead she handed a new corset
with Victorias bra size over the door. One look in the mirror and Victoria noticed that she was
missing something, and requested for it. Once she had all she needed she asked for a moments
privacy and told Mrs. Thompson to go and entertain Nichkhun while she finished up.
Victoria was certain that Nichkhun was being flirted with by Nigel, she saw the admiration that Nigel
gave her every time he was to look at Nichkhun and she was proud.
Victoria hoped with all her heat that Nichkhun would be happy about the way she looked because
she sure did. She had never imagined her wedding to be grand like most other girls, so the haste
wedding wasnt a problem and Victoria had always imagined her to be the worst looking bride
possible but she now knew the saying was true, Every bride looks good on her wedding day.
Victoria breathed outwards before she moved a naked arm to slide the curtains open slowly
revealing herself.
Nichkhun was taking a sip of the wine Mrs. Thompson provided for him when Victoria slide the
curtains open to reveal herself. He stayed where he was looking at her up and down, taking in her
creamy skin, the dress was a strapless dress that had three elements for the design, the lace top
which is really feminine which gives it a historical look covering her top which acted almost as a bra
would, from the end of the top lace to her waist it was a beads galore with medium sized colorless
diamonds and also smaller pink diamonds in some areas to give it the extra sparkle and color. The
third element was the fanning out of the skirt part of the skirt. How many layers of the net material no
one knew except for the designers, but Victoria swore she would count it for her sake of knowing.
Net material over net material making the dress rather big on the bottom, the last several layers had
diamonds stuck to it so that the dress would sparkle beautifully.
Although Nichkhun knew what the dress had looked like when he had hung it in the dressing room
for her, but it looked even more beautiful on her than it had before. He didnt know where she had
got the tiara and veil from but she looked like a blushing bride, wait, she is a blushing bride
Victoria blushed as Nichkhun sat where he was and kept staring at her making her feel
uncomfortable. She began to think that Nichkhun disliked the way she looked wearing the dress.
Feeling awkward Victoria spun on her heel and walked towards the curtains to the back room.
A large hand held her arm and in a moment Nichkhun was standing between her and the curtains,
You look beautiful! he declared but she believed he was trying to make her feel better, and tried to
brush past him. Two large hands held her waist as he spun her around to come into his embrace, as
she spun around the skirt of the dress twirled as well.
Victoria looked up at him with her eyes shining, It doesnt look nice, lets go and find something
else, she suggested her hand resting on his chest.
You dont like the dress? Nichkhun questioned her although he knew the answer.
As much as she wanted to she couldnt say that she did. She shook her head lightly, However, I
know you dont like it, she then dropped her voice so that only he could hear her, Also I dont
expect you to spend so much.
Money is not a matter, and you know it. I suspect at this moment someone is losing that much
money to the casino anyway, Nichkhun said with a lazy shrug. I doubt that there would be any
other dress that would suit as well as that!
Nichkhun, dont pretend you like it, you just kept staring without a smile on your face! Victoria
protested trying to get away.
Dont move, you dont want Mrs. Thompson, and Nigel to see the state Im in! he whispered to her
huskily holding her closer allowing her to understand his meaning if she hadnt already. He was fully
aroused.
By this dress? Victoria wanted to laugh.
By you, my Darling, only you can get me to this state without doing anything! Nichkhun said, Now
Ice cream, and polar bear sounds like something I have to think of now before I can let you go!
Looking into large mirror as both had their arms around each other, one look at them and one knew
that they were to be, and the clothes matched them. Victoria looked wonderful in her dress and
standing beside Nichkhun they looked like a match made in heaven.
Magnificent choice Mr. Horvejkul, Miss Song, Mrs. Thompson said as she looked at them from the
side of the mirror, This dress was hand-made by an anonymous designer whom goes by the name
of RosePetal, it also happens to be the only wedding dress she has ever made! she explained
excitedly.
Victoria tilted her head in thought before exclaiming happily, I know this dress! she said twirling
around looking at the net layers float around her, It was made by M RosePetal after her daughter
was told about the story of her husband and herself. Wasnt it promised to RosePetal that this dress
would only be sold after 15 years when her daughter is at least 20 years old, and that if her daughter
was to find it then it is as if God had blessed the marriage himself?
Yes, I believe so, Mrs. Thompson agreed.
Maybe we shouldnt take it then, Victoria said reluctantly.
But Miss Song Mrs. Thompson tried to find the right words but failed.
Victoria, if it was meant for her daughter to find it then it would have been, but since we are here
first its just not meant to be, Nichkhun said meaningfully.
I suppose so
Nichkhun had his hand on Victorias back as they exited the restaurant to go towards the jewelers.
There is no point in an engagement ring, Nichkhun, she protested, Were not going to stay
engaged for very long!
Its tradition, no Horvejkul wife is going without an engagement ring, especially you, he said as if it
was the end of discussion.
You bastard, she seethed in anger as she disliked his authority tone, sure she was very used to it
being his employee and all but in the matter of marriage there was no better, they should be equal
yet he acted as though she was the inferior. She didnt want inequality in their marriage even if she
was going to end it once they get back to South Korea.
Victoria could feel his hand tense, There are no Bastards in the Horvejkul family and you know it,
because we take responsibility, Nichkhun replied with equal menace.
Victoria took a chilling breath, You dont need to be responsible, no one will have to know that the
child I might be carrying be yours, he or she will be a Song rather than a Horvejkul, she said trying
to move away from him.
Nobody? You and I would know, the heavens would know! Nichkhun said angrily, Now dont be a
Bitch Victoria.
Well there! Maybe Im having PMS, therefore meaning Im not pregnant! We dont have to marry
anymore! she laughed bitterly.
If you continue to be like this, Ill throw you over my shoulder, and take you back to the hotel room
then make sure you become pregnant! he said and she could feel an exciting shiver develop in her.
As much as she was tempted to make him do just that, she decided to let him win because she
didnt want to be binded to him for life, she would rather marry him for the week she had with him,
then leave.
Victoria let Nichkhun win that round.
* * *
This would be just perfect on you, Nichkhun said picking out a platinum ring with a clean cut heart
ruby in the centre of many glistering diamonds, one look and one would know that it was very dear.
Mental note to self: must return before leaving him, Victoria thought to herself, Its beautiful, she
gasps.
Give me your hand, Nichkhun instructed and Victoria spread her fingers out for him. Nichkhun
placed the ring on her engagement finger. Victoria lifted her hand so that the jewels could capture
the light to sparkle.
It fit as though it was made for her.
* * *
Victoria looked from store to store in the large Vegas Mall, Nichkhun would be doing the same as
she was at the moment. She had persuaded him to hand one of his credit cards to her as wedding
bands were chosen by the other although most couples enjoyed getting the same pair Victoria had
no wish for him to see the ring she got for him and neither did she want to see the ring he got for her.
Victoria walked past many jewelry stores but as she glanced to the other side of the mall this one
store caught her eye, Eternal Love.
May I have a look at the male collection for wedding bands? Victoria asked the old lady behind the
counter.
Of course, My dear, the lady said in a croaky strained voice as she smiled kindly at Victoria. The
lady crouched down slowly to open and cabinet then placed a tray of rings on the glass cabinets that
Victoria was sitting on a stool and leaning upon by the time the lady got back to her.
These are the newest styles and fashion for the year, she said simply but Victoria could see the
disgust in her face as she said so.
I dont want to follow fashion, actually I want something that has a historical look to it, but I would
like for some engravings in the inside, Victoria said and the old lady could see the love glittering in
her eyes.
Just the way I like it! the lady exclaimed with a smile and the tray of modern styles were soon
replaced with tradition styles.
Victoria glanced at the tray moving from one ring to another till one caught her glaze and she
returned to look at it before picking it up to hold it between her fingers. It was a gold band with stylish
historical looking engravings.
Victoria requested that the inside would have the engravings Khuntoria 1314 although she knew that
was not even a 50% chance of happening, but in her heart that was where he would be forever, in
her heart.
Victoria exited the jewelry store and walked around for a while longer wondering what she should do
for the two hours she had to wait before she could come and pick the ring up and return to hotel
room to get ready and wait for Nichkhun to return.
Victoria decided to go to the beauty salon and hair dressers, she wanted to look beautiful for
Nichkhun on their wedding day.
* * *
Victoria zipped up her dress and donned on the veil with the tiara before wearing her normal
business shoes, shoes was one of the things she had forgotten to purchase. For the time being, she
was going to wear Nichkhuns ring on her thumb although it still didnt fit. She had to jam in some
tissues before it could fit her.
The hotel phone rang and Victoria went to it, Good afternoon, Nichkhun Horvejkuls secretary,
Victoria Song, speaking, she said, just in case it was business matters.
She could hear Nichkhuns chuckle on the other line, Are you going to change that to Good
afternoon, Nichkhun Horvejkuls wife, Victoria Horvejkul, speaking, tomorrow?
Haha, very funny, she said in a bored tone, You just returned?
I wouldve went into your room but I was afraid you werent finished dressing and then I wouldnt be
able to control myselfthen we would be late for our wedding, Nichkhun said and Victoria noted
that he was smiling, she could hear it in his voice.
Actually Im ready, Ill come help you dress alright? her voice came out as a husky drawl.
Sure, Ive got something to give to you anyhow, Nichkhun said then replaced the phone.
Holding her dress up with both hands so that she wouldnt step on them, she went to his room
without knocking. Nichkhun got up from the bed as he was sitting and waiting for her to enter.
You look absolutely stunning, he said eyeing her make-up and curled hair. He walked up to her
and cupped her face with both of his hands and leaned down. Nichkhun kissed her softly and
Victorias arms went up to allow her hands to run through his hair before staying at his neck.
Breathless the both broke the kiss, lucky for her, her lipstick was permanent for another 8 hours.
Nichkhun hands went up to unwind her arms from his neck, Let me put these on for you, he said
taking something white from his pocket, Give me your hands.
Victoria obliged and Nichkhun slipped on white gloves that reached her elbow.
That was the other thing that I missed! Victoria said aloud.
What else did you forget? We can go and get them, Nichkhun said leaning down and giving her a
little peck on the lips once again.
Its alright, not necessary, when is our wedding scheduled for? Victoria asked beginning to
unbutton his black suit, We need to get you ready.
Nichkhun stilled her hand, Dont, seeing her confusion he added, We wouldnt be married before I
consummate the marriage, Victoria laughed and moved to the side and sat on the bed that held so
many erotic memories for them.
As Nichkhun began to slide his arms into the white jacket a knock could be heard that made Victoria
stand up but Nichkhun placed his hands on her shoulder for her to sit still.
Stay here and relax, Nichkhun said before turning and going to the main door.
Victoria sat waiting for Nichkhun to come back. When Nichkhun did re-enter the room he was
holding on a tray with a pair of white shoes and a bouquet of white flowers.
Nichkhun placed the tray on the bed beside Victoria then took the shoes off the tray and knelt down
in front of her, Something new was your dress, he showed her the front of the shoe, it was very
elegant with crystals raining down from a strap that would secure the shoe to her feet, that had two
topaz on both sides, This contains something blue, he released her feet from her old shoes and
placed her feet into the new shoes and fastening them for her.
Victoria looked up at the ceiling blinking rapidly before she was able to look back at Nichkhun whom
now sat beside her having already pushed the tray further to the centre of the bed, Something old
are these, he said reaching into the pocket of his white trousers taking out a jewelry box, letting the
opening side face her, he opened it showing her a pair of earrings that would dangle with each tear
shaped pink diamond attached to a different length of platinum gold with a total of eight on each
side, This was given to me by my mother to give to my wife, it was a gift from my grandfather to my
grandmother on their wedding as it was for my parents. He unclasped her usual earrings and
placed them into the box before putting on the earrings for her.
He fastened on a diamond choker onto her neck, Dont worry this is not the something borrowed, it
goes with the earrings, he teased.
What is something borrowed then? she choked out as she touched the choker with her gloved
hands. Not you I hope.
Nichkhun chuckled, No, no, Im for keeps. I couldnt think of what I could get that was borrowed, he
shrugged.
If I didnt have something blue, old and new it wouldnt matter but since I do its kinda odd to leave
out something borrowed, she said smiling, Ooh! I know! Wait a moment! Victoria got up and went
to her room opening one of her suit case compartment.
Can you help me put this on? Victoria asked Nichkhun as she re-entered his room showing him the
red crystals that was separated by gold balls bracelet, This belongs to my friend Yoona, she is also
my flatmate, when I came home telling her I was heading for Las Vegas she gave me her lucky
bracelet.
Lucky indeed, Nichkhun agreed, taking the bracelet from her.
* * *
Both were ready, and Nichkhun tucked Victorias hand so that it rested on the crook of his arm
before he opened the door and her other hand held the bouquet of fresh flowers as they began their
journey towards a small chapel nearby.
Dont you think you went a little too far? Victoria said eyeing the red carpet that started from their
business room and was everywhere they stepped.
You cant expect the marriage of Nichkhun Horvejkul to be unnoticed right? Nichkhun said into her
ear, Even if we didnt have the carpet everyone would be looking anyway. Have you noticed we are
wearing the full wedding attire?
How could I not? Victoria said with a little chuckle.
* * *
Nichkhun led her towards the entrance of the Hotel which was where the red carpet ended at the
opened door of an 8-seater limousine. Victorias mouth dropped open but soon she got back her
composure and allowed Nichkhun to hold one hand out to help her get in first before he did. Once
the car started moving, Victoria turned to Nichkhun.
You have definitely out done yourself, Mr. Horvejkul, she said with nothing of a smile.
Come on, Victoria, you cant really expect me to be so uncaring about my once in a lifetime day?
Nichkhun said with a teasing trail of his finger on her cheek.
Victoria brushed his finger away, Mr. Horvejkul please!
Mrs. Horvejkul to-be, stop this nonsense would you? Whats done is done I cant change it now, he
teased her.
Victoria rubbed her temples with her fingers, Why cant I just be the secretary, she mumbled softly
but he could hear her ever so clearly.
Because my dear Fiance you may be carrying little Khunnie or little Tori, he said wrapping his arm
around her shoulders then pulling her close laying a hand on her stomach.
If he had said that it was because of the insatiable passion they shared for each other, at least it
would be because of her, but instead all he had mentioned was the possibility of having a child.
Indeed she knew that Nichkhun didnt love her, and although she wasnt planning to stay married to
him forever, hearing from him that their marriage wasnt because of her to any extent was painful.
Nichkhun pulled her closer to him into his embrace but due to the words he had just uttered, she
used her gloved hands to push him slightly so that she could slide further away. He gave her a
confused look.
Youll wreck my hair, she lied.
As they entered the little chapel the reverend approached Victoria and pulled her away, Are you
absolutely sure about this my dear? Victoria knew it was a question that priest had to ask before a
marriage, well, usually it occurred when the couple came to talk to the priest before the wedding, but
it was special place where weddings happen without planning.
Yes Reverend, I am, will you be going to speak to Nichkhun now? Victoria asked him politely.
No, no, Mr. Horvejkul and I have already spoken, The reverend smiled, Do you have his ring?
Victoria nodded taking off her left glove, she slipped off the ring from her thumb and gave it to him,
Where is the bin?
The reverend looked at her oddly until she showed him the tissue, It didnt even fit my thumb and I
didnt want to lose it so I jammed in some tissues, he smiled understandingly then pointed behind
her. Victoria held her dress again and went to the bin throwing the tissue away before placing the
glove back on.
* * *
Do you Mr. Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul, promise to love, cherish and protect Miss Victoria Song in
sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer?
I do, Nichkhun said confidently.
Do you Miss Victoria Song, promise to love, cherish and care for Mr. Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul in
sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer?
I do, with all my heart I pledge.
The wife of the reverend handed him the ring cushion, Please hold hands.
Nichkhun and Victoria looked into each others eyes, and smiled before reaching out and holding
hands. The reverend placed the cushion on top of their hands and with one look, one could tell it
was meant to be, as the rings were a pair even when the couple had separated to purchase the
rings.
The reverend blessed the rings before he took the cushion away from the couple holding it out so
that they could reach.
Mr. Nichkhun Horvejkul, you may present to Victoria her ring.
Nichkhun let go of Victorias hand and reached to untie the ring from the cushion while she took the
glove from her left hand off and handed it to the reverends wife.
Holding her hand and placing the ring at the tip of her fourth finger he pledged, With this ring I
pledge to you my faithfulness, and my eternal love, he slipped the ring into her finger binding her.
Victoria wanted to cry for she knew the words he spoke had only half its supposed meanings, Miss
Victoria Song, you may present Nichkhun his ring.
Victoria received back her glove and she hastily placed it back on before she reached for the ring
she had gotten for Nichkhun then placed it in his fourth finger, I pledge to you my eternally undying
love, I will cherish and love you for all of time, Victoria slipped the ring on. The two held hands.
By the power of God, you two are now bound together for all of time. I now pronounce you man and
wife, Victoria and Nichkhun smiled, You may now kiss the bride.
Nichkhun moved closer to Victoria and held her veil and moved to the back of her head before
cupping her face and leaning in giving her a soft memorable kiss.
Mr. and Mrs. Horvejkul, please come and sign the certificates.
The reverend and his wife were their witnesses. All four signed the record book for the chapel and
the legal certificate.
* * *
Mrs. Horvejkul, Nichkhun drawled once they were seated within the limousine.
Mr. Horvejkul, where are we going now? Victoria asked giving him a sweet smile.
Would you like to rest or have a dinner celebration, dear wife? Nichkhun asked her.
We should go changed, Im hungry but I wont be wearing this to a restaurant! Victoria said taking
off her gloves as they were making her a little too hot. Victoria spread her hand out in front of her
staring at the ring which was almost identical to Nichkhuns except it had a diamond glistering in the
middle, Nice choice, got it from Eternal Love?
Right. This is too isnt it? Nichkhun asked looking at his ring. Victoria nodded silently.
Is this really a God blessed wedding? Victoria asked looking up at the roof of the car, she didnt
receive an answer.
Today I had already talked to the restaurant manager and booked the whole restaurant for the
night, so we wont be disturbed nor seen, Nichkhun said leading Victoria to the Hotels restaurant.
* * *
To our marriage! Nichkhun said holding his champagne glass a little tilted in the middle of the table.
To our marriage, Victoria echoed and clanged her glass with Nichkhuns before both took a sip of
the sweet champagne.
You dont seem very excited Mrs. Horvejkul, what is wrong? Nichkhun said and Victoria could see
the hidden smile in his eyes.
Victoria smiled a Mona Lisa smile, a smile that didnt reach her heart, Nothing, I was just wondering
how we would act in front of your other employees when we get back to Korea, she lied.
You will not be working for me, Nichkhun paused and Victorias heart stopped, Nor will you be
working for anyone else, I dont want you working. You should stay at home.
Victoria softly placed the glass down and pulled her hands under the table so that he wouldnt see
her clenching them in white fists. If she was able to, she would cover her face with the veil at that
moment but she no longer wore the veil, only the tiara,
Taking a deep breath in, she attempted to smile again but this time she failed miserably, Even if Im
Mrs. Horvejkul, wife to the boss of Horvejkul Enterprise, I have no wish to be a house wife, her
voice was cracked, I dont want you to think of me as a gold digger, Khun, because Im not,
Nichkhun opened his mouth to speak but she continued before he could utter his protest, I like my
plain clothes, and believe it or not, I enjoy working!
Victoria, I
Listen! Victoria said a little too strongly, Okay, so maybe I might not be able to afford clothes like
that pink dress, or this wedding dress, but just because I work for you as a mere secretary doesn't
mean that I cant afford my own living,
Victoria, sorry, he said but he didnt sound sorry at all. But do you have any idea what your mere
presence does to my being?
Now he was talking about their insatiable passion? If he had said it before their wedding she would
have been a happy bride.
Although she didnt want anyone else to be his secretary, she had to give it up. But what if he finds a
secretary who could ignite his passion even more so than she did? Give it a break Song Qian! She
thought to herself. She knew he had many before her and she wasnt about to deny the fact that he
most likely would have more passionate lovers than her, whom also knew what they were doing.
Anyhow, she doubted it would really matter since she wasnt going to be his wife when they are back
in Korea but merely a secretary, she was sure he would rather not have her as his wife once he
knew for a definite fact that he had not fathered a child with her. And if it was too awkward for either
of them then she could always find another job, she was sure he would at least give her a good
reference letter.
If that is the case then, Ill be Mr. Shims secretary, I believe he is on a search for a new secretary
since Rosannes retirement, Victoria said quite innocently.
God! No. Nichkhun looked genuinely shocked that she should have suggested such an alternative
route, I'd rather keep an icepack with me than hand you to that animal!
His embarrassing confession made the corner of her lips raise, Hes not that bad, she said trying to
hold her laughter when he made a face.
The only reason I keep him in the company is because he is good at what he does!
Pish Posh! He cant be worse than the notorious womanizer, Nichkhun Horvejkul, Victoria teased.
Thats enough Victoria, you either stay home or work with me and thats it! that was the end of
discussion she realized.
Shed be damned if he had the last word, I suppose it has to be you then, she pretended to groan,
which received a throaty chuckle from Nichkhun.
The rest of the dinner went well. They ate in silence but once they had finished eating, the lights
dimmed and the disco ball was turned on running poker dot lights around the whole restaurant.
Moments after the lights were turned off, fog covered the ground making Victoria feel as though she
was sitting on clouds. A soft romantic English song, Eyes on Me, filled the air and Nichkhun stood up
and went to her side. He held out his hand.
May I have this dance? he asked.
Victoria placed her hand in his offered hand and he rested it onto his crooked arm and they walked
to the middle of the dance floor. Holding her hand, he spun her out of his embrace before she twirled
back to his side.
* * *
Again, he had her walking on a red carpet from the restaurant. When they reached the stairs, he
stopped abruptly. Victoria, a girl whom was used to runners and heels that are at least three
centimetres in height, was not used to her white stilettos, causing her to stumble backwards a little
bit. Nichkhun moved with the speed of light to wrap his arm around her waist to steady her, spinning
her into his embrace before placing his other arm quickly under her knee and in a matter of
moments, she was in his arms.
Shocked Victoria quickly wrapped both arms around his neck to steady herself, What are you
doing? she exclaimed holding on closer to him, afraid that he might drop her.
Its tradition to carry the bride over the threshold, Nichkhun said then mocked being choked,
Please, I wont drop you, but if you choke me Ill be forced to.
Color seeped into her cheeks and she lightened her hold, Sorry, she whispered before noticing his
stifled laughter, she used one hand to hit him playfully on the chest but gave a little yelp when she
felt herself subsiding then placed her hand behind his neck once more, But this isnt your threshold,
its your brothers, she pointed out cheekily as Nichkhun began mounting the steps.
Didnt I tell you that I have a honeymooners suite here? Nichkhun said pausing on his steps to look
down at her affectionately, giving her a soft kiss on the forehead before continuing his steps.
So, I see youve taken other girls to this honeymooners suite. This is how you get other women
too, isnt it? Getting married to them first, Victoria said nodding her head as though she had figured
something out. You know, you couldve stayed there last night with some girl and just booked me a
single economy room or something.
Nichkhun laughed huskily, Now why would I want to do that?
You couldve had some blonde, redhead or even brunette! Victoria said moving up quickly to give
him a quick kiss on the cheek to show him with actions that she was glad he hadnt.
Again Nichkhun gave a smile before starting up another set of steps, Why dont you take the
elevator what level is this suite anyway?
Its not fun if I take you up by the elevator its on the top level, its not really a honeymooners
suite, its my apartment when I come visit Nichan. He has his own quarters on the top level of the
casino.
If I am not mistaken, the top level is level 20, and we are currently on, what, level 2? Nichkhun
nodded his head, Are you crazy!? her eyes widen, You wouldnt have energy for waking up
tomorrow to get any work done!
Is that all you care about Darling? Not the consummation of our marriage? color flooded her
cheeks and Nichkhun smiled with satisfaction, Youre right though, I rather save the energy for more
productive things
* * *
Nichkhun placed her onto her feet once he closed the door behind him. Victoria glanced around the
room, and she could immediately sense the bachelorhood. The room was set for having woman
over. The large king sized four poster bed that was calling out for someone to make love upon it.
Shed felt drawn to it but resisted the irresistible.
Nichkhun had disappeared through the walk-through closet, she chose to ignore him and went to
enter the bathroom. As anyone whom had seen the bed and the setting would have expected, the
bathroom contained a large spa, the ceramic was the color of erotica, red. The showers were beside
the spa having two sprinklers, and images of Nichkhun and her, naked, appeared in her mind.
Nichkhun entered the room and wrapped his arms around her from the back.
As if she had an alarm set, Victorias eyes began to flutter as the sun began to rise. Although it was
several hours different from Korea it was still a day that Victoria had set for herself to go jogging, and
though today was the day after her Big Day she could not break a habit. But surely she should be
granted several minutes longer in the warmth of her husbands embrace.
She snuggled in closer to Nichkhun and could feel his arms tightening around her. They had loved
all night till the early morning, she breathed in the scent of him which made her feel more relax while
reminding her of their acts of the previous night.
Detaching herself from Nichkhuns hold slowly, she got off the bed hoping not to disturb his peaceful
sleep so early in the morning. Moving around the room she picked up her under garments from
various places off the ground. She slipped on her underwear but held the bra putting it back into the
suitcase taking her sports bra out instead, she then put on her white and lavender track suit.
Victoria took out her runners from another suitcase and tied her hair in a simple ponytail before
going to Nichkhun, kissing him lightly on the cheek before leaving the room.
* * *
Nichkhun reached out for Victoria beside him but his arms shuffled through empty space. He opened
his eyes to see for himself, she wasnt there. He sat up and leaned against the bed to look around
the room but still could not see her. He raked a hand through his tousled morning hair and closed his
eyes listening for the sound of water from the showers but could not hear anything.
* * *
Victoria ran on the already warmed sand, apart from the beach being so beautiful, she couldnt resist
jogging beside it and watched as the water rippled, and splashed against the shore, she had chose
to run beside the water because she was afraid she would get lost if she continued to criss-cross
around the city, but if she ran alongside the beach then she could just run backwards later on as the
beach was opposite the hotel.
After an hour of jogging she was back at where she had begun, tired to the core, she sat facing the
beach with her arms resting on her knee and her head buried within her arms so that she could
catch her breath.
The shuffling sound of the sand alerted her on a newcomer. Victoria glanced up from her cocoon
and the first thing she sighted was a bottle of water placed right in front of her eyes. She followed the
lean arm that was holding it out to her and sees her husband as handsome as ever, dressed in his
black suit with a royal blue shirt within. Victoria noted that he was not wearing a tie and felt an urge
to be the one that was to put it on, it was a wifes duty after all.
* * *
He shook the bottle in front of her and she smiled and took the water with a little snatch before
opening the bottle then taking plentiful gulps.
Nichkhun looked at Victoria with speculative eyes. Although she was nowhere close to the beauty
she had been the night before with her hair astray, sweat forming pools on her face, and her face
red as a tomato from exhaustion, but he couldnt help but note that she was even more beautiful
than all the other days.
Nichkhun squatted down beside her, then used the sleeve of his shirt to wipe away the droplets of
sweats that formed on her forehead. She turned to him looking rather confused, and he placed a
strand hair back behind her ear before leaning forward to capture her lips with his.
You dont know how embarrassing it was to have to learn from the head butler where my new bride
was, he voice contained anger and humor that Victoria couldnt figure out which one she should
work with.
So instead she changed the subject, Are you heading to the casino?
Nichkhun recognized her question for what it was but chose to ignore it, We have to start working
now dont we? he asked rhetorically, You can have a rest today though, you seem tired enough.
No, Im nonetheless still your secretary, just give me 20 minutes to shower and to change, she said
getting up abruptly.
* * *
Ill get you a tie, Victoria said as soon as she was in their room, but Nichkhun held her back then
shook his head.
Victoria gave him a look that begged for a reason, I want to go undercover, be casual but look rich,
he explained.
Then would you be waiting or are you going to leave now? Victoria asked.
Nichkhun bent down and kissed her on the nose lightly, affectionately, As much as I regret I do
have an appointment with a member of the board, he bent closer to whisper in her ear, You have
no idea how desirable you look, my darling, his light breath blew at her neck making her shiver
delightfully.
Victoria hit him playfully on his chest but Nichkhun easily caught the offending hand with his own,
cradling it, Ill meet you at the casino. Yesterday I went a little shopping for you, and had people
send it up, choose something appropriate for the occasion, remember we are here for a holiday, not
business, they shared a light kiss before he departed from their room.
* * *
Victoria came out from the bathroom holding the towel in its place. She headed towards her
suitcase, she unzipped the case only to find that all her cotton wear and business suits were all
gone, the only things left were her other track suits and some new silk bras and underwear with a
little postage note on top in Nichkhuns usual handwriting.

Wife,
Your other clothes have been discarded. These new materials will fit as I had your size checked
before I purchased them. All the bras have straps but are possible to be strapless. Spare me my
pride and wear a bra as one look at you and Ill know. You wouldnt want others to see me in such a
state, Im sure.
Dresses are all in the walk-in wardrobe along with suitable footwear.
Have fun choosing, because I sure did.
From your husband.

Victoria felt pained yet she laughed till tears of happiness filled her eyes. He had thrown away all her
clothing without even a thought of how she felt, but at the same time he had been so caring as to do
what most men hate most. Shopping. For her, he had went shopping.
Seeing that there were varieties of styles and colors, Victoria decided that she needed to know
which dress she would be wearing first before she would be able to choose the right under
garments.
Victoria entered the walk-in closet. Different styles of suits were hung side by side and Victoria
walked through them smelling the scent from her lovers clothing. A silent smile swept across her
face as she recognized the faint smell of the cologne he uses. Walking through them all she spotted
the colorful variation of dresses and styles, all beautiful and all undoubtedly expensive.
Victoria ran her hand across the cold silks and satins until she passed a cream dress which made
her take a double take. She took the dress off the rack and saw a silk robe behind it that would serve
its purpose for a while. It seems that he did a whole lot of shopping, casual clothes, formal, semi-
formal, nighties, under garments, shoes, accessories and make-up, she had seen the multi-brand
named products set in front of the mirror on the vanity table, supposedly he had set that whole table
up for her, maybe he had many females to please, she argued with herself. She willed herself to
disvalue that possibility.
Holding the cream dress she bent down beside the shoe rack and picked out a simple silver heels.
Victoria analyzed herself in the large mirror, the cream dress was simple and covered the most
important parts yet left a tantalizing view of the creamy skin, the bottom of the dress was a horizontal
cut from the middle of her right thigh to end somewhere just beneath her knee, the whole bottom
area was done with a wavy cut.
Something is missing, Victoria said aloud looking at herself. It was her hair and her make-up. She
moved towards the table and realized that Nichkhun must have thought of everything as she opened
the drawers to find hair straighteners, curling tongs, blow dry, and crippler. In another draw there
were jewelry and hair accessories.
Victoria began applying the make-up with expert strokes and combination. Although Victoria disliked
using make-up, it was impossible to not know how to use the products if you live with the ever so
famous Im Yoona, ex-model by choice, now top writer for the most famous gossip magazine, Blaze.
* * *
Nichkhun was putting a bet on the roulette table for the nth time. Each and every time he had placed
a bet on a certain number, on a certain color, the pointer would end up somewhere rather far away.
Of course he didnt really care, what he was losing was going to his brother. Family, and most likely
his brother would replenish him once he finds of the loss, not that it mattered. He wasnt playing with
that much so far it was only $100,000 gone, considering him making way more than that in a week, it
didnt really matter. Just the thought of not being able to win was disgusting.
The key was spun, going round and round
Havent seen her in here before, someone standing beside him, at the railings whistled.
Nichkhun turned around, intrigued, only to notice every man in the room ogling at a woman. At that
moment as he lay eyes on her, she turned around with the flick of her curly black hair to look at him.
Victoria raised her champagne glass with a sensuous smile. Alluring.
He smiled back at her. She began for the stairs and he turned around to watch as the spinner
doubled his stake. She was his lucky girl.
Mind that for me, he said simply. Before getting up to meet her at the top of the stairs, she slipped
her hand around his neck before titling her head up to look at him. His gaze was on her full pink lips.
He bent his head down and captured her lips with his in a slow tantalizing kiss.
You look absolutely stunning, his mumbled huskily.
So do you Mr. Horvejkul. Handsome I mean, she released her hold and slipped her hand around
his arm, Been winning I hope?
He guided her towards his seat, he told her to sit but instead she made him while she stood with her
hand on his shoulder, Not until you came in through those doors, he took a sip from her glass.
Nichkhun placed another bet on the table before spinning around to face her, then pulled her to sit
on his lap, she gave a little surprised yelp. Nichkhun chuckled, You look so sexy I want to go back
to our room right now.
Victoria brought a hand to her lips and giggled, something she didnt do too often but she was acting
posh.
How was the appointment? Victoria questioned.
Well, Mr. Cho is still over there, Nichkhun pointed towards the Asian man whom was sitting at the
black jack table. Victoria followed his directed gaze and finger.
She recognized the man, You mean,Cho Kyuhyun?
You know him? Nichkhun turned to look at her, acknowledging the adoring filled eyes as she
looked at Kyuhyun, and his chest felt as though it tightenedwith jealousy? No.
Sure, may I have a moment? she asked, but before Nichkhun could deny her wishes she already
got up from his lap, placed the champagne glass down on the table, then straightened the invisible
creases on her dress before starting over to Kyuhyun. He watched as her hips swayed as she made
her way to Kyuhyun.
Nichkhun watched with clenched fists as the man looked up with a moments confusion before a
smile brightened the handsome face before he reached out to give his new companion a hug.
* * *
Victoria watched the confusion etched in Kyuhyun face, she smiled before scrunching up her face in
a childish attempt of being angry, she saw the recognition in his eyes before a broad smile featured
on his handsome stern face. He reached out to pull her in a big bear hug and she wrapped her arms
around him.
I havent cracked ribs with you for a while, Kyuhyun teased lightly before beginning to tighten his
hug around her rib area.
Hey, my dress! Victoria said quickly trying to push him away.
Kyuhyun let go and laughed, the first anyone had seen for a while. Kyuhyun was known to be a stern
businessman, whom gets to the point without smiles.
Youve grown so much. Sexy, he raised a brow then took a quick glance at her dress, Here with a
man? he teased.
Victoria turned around and pointed a slender finger towards Nichkhun whom waved back at her. She
smiled.
Mr. Horvejkul? Kyuhyun asked unbelievingly. My little cousin is going out with a womanizer? I
thought youd know better! Kyuhyun scolded.
Come on, Kyuhyun! You work with him! Victoria said turning around to slap him playfully on his
arm.
Kyuhyuns smile faded from his face, Hes a great businessman, maybe even a great lover, but I
wouldnt know that, Victoria couldnt help but a revealing streak of red appeared on her cheeks, I
see you do though. However, that is beside the point, I dont believe he would be the marrying kind
though.
That statement from her brother-like-cousin was like a blade piercing through her heart then was
twisted. An arm circled her waist and she was pulled closer to no other than Nichkhun Horvejkul.
Do you, Mr. Cho, think that is an appropriate thing to tell my newly wed bride? Nichkhun said in a
cold tone.
Victoria, you didnt? Kyuhyuns tone was disbelieving and he was looking fiercer by the moment.
Victoria was silent for a moment and Kyuhyun ran a hand through his hair, I knew I shouldnt have
left you to your own devices! What happened to that job?
Nichkhun is my boss, I work for Horvejkul Enterprise, Victoria said.
God! I shouldve made you my secretary! Kyuhyun said innocently but Nichkhun mistaken his
meaning and was ready to punch him. Kyuhyun was lucky that they were in Nichans casino
otherwise Nichkhun wouldnt mind making a scene.
If youre wise, Mr. Cho, you would take that back, Nichkhun said through clenched teeth.
Kyuhyun chose to ignore him and addressed Victoria instead, Did you at least find the dress?
Victoria felt extremely uncomfortable beside these two dominating males, but she nodded. I feel
tired, can I go back to the room?
But ah-Vic, Kyuhyun began.
No buts Kyuhyun, its not my fault you chose to go around the world instead of living in Korea
alright? Victoria noticed how harsh she must have sounded and lightened her tone, Im going to be
here for a few more days, Ill meet up with you one time, she told him where she was staying and he
gave her a friendly peck on the cheek, much to Nichkhuns dislike, and left.
Victoria sighed and turned to look up at Nichkhun, You dont mind do you?
Mind that he kissed and hugged you? Yes, Nichkhun said still looking at Kyuhyuns residing back.
Nichkhun! She fought for his attention, Nichkhun looked back down at her, his hard eyes softening,
You dont mind me, going to the room and leaving you here? Nichkhun was quiet for a moment and
she felt the need to add in, Ill come back when I feel up to it.
Nichkhun turned still holding onto Victorias waist guiding her back towards the roulette table to
retrieve his chips, Ill accompany you.
* * *
Victorias wedding dress was laid out on the bed so that she could look at it clearly

~ Flashback~
Mommy, these sparkling rocks are so pretty! a little five year old girl exclaimed as she played with
the small diamonds that was poured out into a glass bowl.
The childs mother shuffled her hair adoringly then continued taking one by one diamond attaching it
to the white net materials, Theyre diamonds, Victoria.
The five year old Victorias eyes sparkled, Di-munds! So beautiful. Why do they have special name
for sparkling rock, mommy?
Victorias mother had no idea how to answer such a question, It is just the way it is, Darling.
Victorias large round eyes looked confused before she smiled happily, What are you doing with
them mommy?
Im making you a dress, although Victorias mother had no idea as to how Victorias physique was
going to be when she grew up she simply used it upon her own measurements.
Victoria smiled broadly, Dress? Yippee!
Victorias mother turned around and used a finger to spin her daughters face to look at her, You
wont wear it till youre at least 20 darling, Victorias frowned, Im going to sell it, then when you are
to get married, you will try to buy a dress, if it is this one that you find then it means that God, your
father and I, have blessed the marriage
She had said that as if she knew that she and her husband were going to pass away before their
daughter was to marry
~ End of Flashback~

Victoria! Nichkhun said sitting beside her with his wet sleek black hair. Breaking out of trance
Victoria looked up through glassed eyes. Why are you crying? he used his thumb to wipe away the
traces of sadness, Is Kyuhyun an ex-boyfriend?
Victoria sighed as she shook her head, knowing he didnt love her and yet he wanted to rule her life
was a pain to her heart, No, Kyuhyun is my cousin, I havent seen him in four years, she explained.
Why are you crying then? And what dress was he talking about? Although now he knew that
Kyuhyun was Victorias cousin he still felt insecure, she was after all a beauty.
She didnt want to tell Nichkhun she thought that finding the dress was ironic, because he would
probably be able to put two and two together to know that she loved him, that was something she
didnt want.
Well when I was young, Kyuhyun and I talked a lot, and one time in my nave teens, I told him that
when I got married I would search the whole world for the perfect dress, Victoria lied without
blinking her eyes. True she said she would search the world, not for the perfect dress, but for this
particular dress, her perfect dress. Oddly enough since the day she had met Nichkhun, she had
forgot all about this dress and the fact that it turned up when she didnt even remember it or intended
to find it was a miracle, a blessing. The dress was the one thing that Victoria would take with her
from this fantasy.
His gaze softened, Im sorry, our wedding was such a haste. If given time and you had told me, I
wouldve taken you to Paris and
No, Nichkhun, she cut him off with her whisper, This is the perfect dress, she wasnt going to lie
about that to him.
Nichkhun stood up and hung the dress into the walk-in closet. He came back to the bedside and
guided Victoria to lie down.

Days pass and it was time for them to go back to Korea, her reality. Nichkhun had his arms around
Victorias shoulder as she leaned her head on his with her hand on his chest, she breathed evenly
and in bliss. She only had enough time to remember his scent, once they were back she would tell
him that she didnt expect him to carry out their vows. They would be how they were before they
went on that trip: secretary and boss.
Victoria moved her head and snuggled closer to his chest and breathed in his scent, I love you,
Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul, she thought to herself before she fell into a deep sleep.
Victoria, Nichkhun shook Victoria lightly to wake her up, he needed to go to the toilet and with her
lying on him, he couldnt move.
Victoria opened her eyes and smiled then moved so that he could move. She sat thinking for a
moment before standing up and sneaked into the toilets with him.
* * *
Victoria! Yoonas voice echoed around the airport, and Victoria turned to look around the area and
looked around the place, to see her ex-model friend wearing a pair of faded jeans and a beautiful
oriental shirt that simply looked exquisite on her. Victoria pulled her luggage towards her friend with
a bright smile. The two women hugged and started to walk off, Victoria had tried to ignore her Vegas
husband.
Nichkhun cleared his throat, Victoria would you mind introducing?
Victoria took a deep breath and knew she had to do it then, she smiled before turning to Nichkhun,
Yoona this is my boss, Nichkhun Horvejkul, Mr. Horvejkul, Im sure you have heard of famous ex-
model Im Yoona.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Horvejkul, Victoria told me you were so handsome, Yoona had already been
updated, and knew what her friend wanted to do, so she began flirting with the man. Yoona
understood clearly why Victoria didnt want to pretend that the marriage was legitimate but what she
didnt understand was why Victoria wasnt trying to keep the man when she could tell she loved him.
Also, to her knowledge, Nichkhun was Victorias first.
Miss Im, I think you have mistaken, Im your friends
Best friend, Yoona corrected then turned to Victoria acting ignorant, Your boss is your boyfriend?
Victoria!
Im not her boyfriend, I am her
Once again he got cut off but by a brokenhearted Victoria who spoke as though she didnt care a
fickle, Hes my boss, she turned to Nichkhun, What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas she
quoted, It means what we did there is not legal here. I would continue to be your secretary unless
you wish otherwise, in that case Ill hand in my resignation Monday morning, then the two girls left
Nichkhun standing there smirking behind them.
* * *
Victoria walked into her office early in the morning and sat at the desk, and looked at the white folder
that sat on her table with an envelope addressed to her, it was written in Nichkhuns strong
masculine lines. With trembling fingers she opened the folder and was soon totally engrossed in the
papers, there was a copy of her own marriage certificate, instead of Las Vegas Marriage Contract
written on the top of the document in bold letters it was simply Marriage certificate. She shivered
but still had hope until she leafed to the next page of the papers, Clark County Marriage License
and Marriage, birth and death bureau.
Victoria dropped the lot of papers onto the table and saw Nichkhun smiling face in front of her.
Sitting across her with his hands clasped on the table, Our marriage, as you have seen now, is as
legal as it gets, Dear Wife, he said rather mockingly, And Im not about to allow you to get a divorce
either, so dont even think about it.
What do you want me to do? Victoria asked blinking rapidly forcing herself not to cry, she loved the
man and she was not about to live with him, wont stay married to him. Because in the end she will
have a break-down. A broken marriage.
Nichkhun drew in a deep breath before answering her as though she was a slow child being told so
many times yet not quite understanding the word, Youre my wife, and you will be moving in with
me.
Victoria lifted her hand to her head and ruffled her ever-so-neat hair in frustration, You cant do this
to me! You cant do this to Yoona! She wouldnt have anyone to live with!
Ill give her the money to buy an apartment at a highrise building in Happy Valley! Anywhere she
likes, he said in a calm voice.
Victoria glared at him, Do you think we are that poor? Money doesnt rule everything Khun, we own
that apartment we live in, she stated, You think she left the modeling industry without a penny?
Youre wrong, she and I do what we do for a living because we enjoy it, not because we need to pay
for our living, Victoria started to get hysterical, Money isnt everything, I just cant leave Yoona!
Nichkhun stood and went to Victorias side and spun her chair around then pulled her to her feet and
before she could protest, his lips were on hers. Victoria tried to resist but after a few moments she
slowly responded. Victoria wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her.
A loud horn sounded from the streets, breaking Victoria away from the trance, she pushed him
away. Instead of anger, he smirked, Wife, you still taste so sweet, I dont think I could ever get
bored of you.
Victoria felt ashamed of herself, she felt terrible, I dont want to stay married to you! she declared
although she knew she was as much against divorce as he was.
He laughed and pulled her into his embrace, laying a hand onto her stomach. Victoria discontinued
her struggling as she knew it was futile, My heir may be in here, before she could say anything he
continued, And even if he/ she isnt, he or she will, I intend to make sure that happens.
Nichkhun, please, Victoria said trying to leave his embrace once more.
What, you want us to begin trying now? Nichkhun teased, Your wish is my command.
Nichkhun bent his head and nibbled her ear, making her squirm in his hold, he held her tight taking
her towards the couch, laying her down on the couch slowly as he settled between her legs.
The door, she protested.
All three locked, he said laughing, he knew she couldnt resist him, she was trying to make him
stop rather than stopping herself.
Nichkhun kissed her hard on the mouth, he relished in her strawberry lips, he loved the taste of her.
He was glad when she began responding to him, but as soon as he tasted the saltiness. He let go.
Vic, please dont cry! Nichkhun said getting off her, pulling her close to him.
Victoria snuggled into his chest as she cried harder and harder, I love you so much, she thought. Ill
move in with you, she said at last.
His arms tightened around her, Just dont cry, Mrs. Horvejkul.
Victoria couldnt help but smiled. As much as she knew he didnt love her, but at the prospect that he
didnt mind dropping his bachelor life to have a family with her, she was glad. Khun?
Mmm?
Victoria inhaled, Once you stray, thats the end no matter what.
Victoria could feel Nichkhuns lips curve on her cheek, Never.
She relaxed, she had hoped that he had not so much as forgotten their marriage but at least had
decided he was bored of her. Apparently he wasnt, and didnt plan to be. She was worried that in
the future he would get bored of her body, he would stray. She had to trust him.
Should we start work? she asked as though nothing different was about them.
Nichkhun sighed, Victoria was Victoria, Do you want a day off?
Victoria shook her head, I repeat Mr. Horvejkul, I do not work because I need the money but
because I want to, because I enjoy working, she shrugged getting up from the cocoon he created,
he leaned back resting his arms on the back of the couch. She turned and walked towards her desk,
Besides, how am I to be sure, the wife of the ex-most recent multimillionaire bachelor, that you
wont have a more provocative secretary than Miss Song?
As much as I want to oblige, my dear wife, I have already asked my manager to take over for the
day.
Victoria turned to look at Nichkhun abruptly taking in his winning smile. He was so sure of himself.
That was why she loved him too. His confidence, his aloofness, his devil-may-care attitude, simply
everything about him.
What to do then? she asked with a tilt of her head. He came to her side and wrapped an arm
around her shoulder, and led her outside, as everyone watched the boss and his secretary intimately
linked walked out of the office.
Nichkhun glanced around the apartment with a satisfied expression, Nice place.
Victoria looked around her shared apartment, the black couch that easily stretched out to be a
double bed which Yoona and her often shared when a favorite show was on, the my little decorative
ornaments that Yoona and herself had collected through the years, Yoonas memorable pictures of
the countries she had visited due to her career and multiple pictures around the house of Victoria,
Yoona, both of them or them with family and friends. Victoria felt tears looming, she knew she would
miss the place as much as the person. She had lived with Yoona for so long that she couldnt
envision herself living without her. Yoona was like the sister she never had.
A place that no longer is mine, she said the heart wrenching words, that tore at him. He felt guilty
for pulling her away from such a place. Just as he had walked in to the place he could sense her
being.
Nichkhun sighed as he followed her into a room that was most definitely hers. Victoria allowed her
hand to travel along her anime quilt covered bed, I never thought my conventional secretary was so
cute, Nichkhun teased as he picked up a big tarepanda doll. Victoria turned around with a bitter
smile across her face, she took the black and white bear away from his grasp to told it tight in her
embrace, How many rooms does your apartment have?
You are not taking a spare room, he said softly although anyone could tell it was a command
nonetheless.
Victorias mood lifted, at least she knew he didnt want to be separated from her, no matter why, she
enjoyed knowing that he wanted her beside him, So I take it there is a spare room?
Indeed, there are three, although the apartment was rather big, there had been no point to have
any more than four rooms, seeing that he didnt have friends whom would stay over. It was simply
that his architect had thought it a waste of space. But you arent sleeping in either, only the masters
bedroom, my room.
Victoria smiled and leaned in to give him a light kiss, but moved away before he could deepen it, I
just want a room for all these, Victoria said opening one of her wardrobe displaying all her plush
toys since childhood, I know you wouldnt want them in your room.
Nichkhun chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her to him and kissed her
passionately, Of course you can have a room for them, you can redecorate the whole apartment
even better we could go and select our own new apartment, or if you like a mansion somewhere,
Nichkhun declared breaking the kiss.
Victoria couldnt help but feel happy as Nichkhun had seem so relieved that she had not have the
thought of not sharing a room with him. Now, Victoria had to break it to Yoona. Victoria broke out of
Nichkhuns embrace and slid onto the bed to lean against the back board, her knees up to her chin,
she rested her head on her folded arms in distress.
Nichkhun went after her and placed an arm behind her clasping her shoulder and pulled her towards
him so that her head could lean on his shoulder. There was no need for words, he was there to
comfort her, if she wanted to confide in him then she could, but he was not about to annoy her.
* * *
Victoria extracted her phone from her skirt pocket before dialing for Yoona, Yoong?
Yoona placed down her coffee mug giving all her attention to her best friend, Hello Victoria, she
said teasingly.
Nichkhun stayed silent waiting, listening to Victoria, once in a while he would give her shoulder a
little squeeze to show his support. He knew it was hard for her.
Victoria placed her free hand on Nichkhuns chest and he held her hand there, Yoona, my marriage
is legal.
There was silence, apparently Yoona expected a more elaborated statement.
Victoria sniffled before she continued, Nichkhun is here with me at the apartment.
He isnt forcing you is he? Let me talk to him! Yoona declared angrily.
Victoria shook her head not realizing that her friend could not see her, No, Ive made up my mind
Im sorry, but I think it is for the best to move in with him, again Yoona stayed silent, But if you dont
want me to then
Nichkhun stiffened beside her, his grip on her became unbearable but she didnt want to tell him so
as Yoona would start going frantic, Victoria looked up at him through her long lashes as she tapped
his chest telling him to loosen his grip.
Nichkhun realized that he was hurting her so he loosened his grip but still held her close.
Yoona sighed, Can you stay there for a moment, Ill ask for an early day, I want to be there to say
goodbye.
It wont be goodbye I promise Ill wait, Victoria whispered.
The line went dead and the phone dropped out from Victorias grasp, and she began to sob into his
chest, Please dont cry, Vic, his said gently cooing her.
* * *
The door slammed loudly waking Victoria whom had fallen asleep in Nichkhuns embrace, That
must be Miss Im.
Victoria nodded and got up from the bed, then extended a hand to Nichkhun whom took it gladly
although not necessarily. When he was up on his feet he took her hand and placed it around his
waist and placed his around her waist. The newlyweds made the way back out to the main sitting
room.
Nichkhun cleared his throat and Yoona whom was currently kicking off her killer red shoes looked
back at him with anger in her eyes, Miss Im.
Mr. Horvejkul, she greeted back.
Victoria couldnt bear to see her friends in such fierce politeness, Please the two of you, to make
this work, you two have to be friends.
Both Nichkhun and Yoona sighed, Nichkhun, if you will allow me to call you as such.
Nichkhun nodded, Of course, if you will allow me to call you Yoona.
You are married to my best friend, Yoona laughed indignantly, It would be odd to be so formal
around each other.
Victoria sighed, she shouldnt have had made Yoona hate Nichkhun so, but what was done was
done.
Yoona came towards Victoria and held her hand, Are you sure you want this? I know a great
lawyer.
Victoria chuckled, Yes and I bet Nichkhun knows ten! dont worry Yoong, Im sure about this.
Yoona sighed once again, Then do not worry about me have you packed all your stuff? what are
you going to do with all your plush toys surely a man like your husband wouldnt want them in his
house!
Nichkhuns smile broadened, On the contrary to your thoughts of me, I am not against
sentimentality, and those toys are my wifes from a young age and now, therefore I will have a room
for them, her own toy room.
Yoona lifted her brow, You serious?
Nichkhun nodded his head with a smug smile on his lips that made Victoria laugh and wanted to go
on her tippy toes to kiss him but decided against, Will you help me pack?
Yoona turned her gaze back to her friend, she smiled encouragingly, Of course I will, what are best
friends for? she asked with a lift of her head.
Nichkhun began to like Yoona, she was a true friend to Victoria, he could tell.
Victoria lifted her gaze to Nichkhuns, Would you mind going to find me some empty boxes so I can
transfer?
Nichkhun nodded, Ill go and buy some large suitcases.
Yoona laughed, You might be rich but dont abuse it! Instead you should spend that money to feed
those of the 3rd world country.
Surprisingly, Nichkhuns cheeks reddened. Victoria smiled, Oh Yoong! Victoria began to pull
Nichkhun towards the door, Just find some empty boxes okay? she went on her tippy toes and
kissed him full on the mouth. Nichkhun groaned and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her
closer to him.
A cough sounded from behind them.
* * *
Victoria placed the last of her photo frames into the box, I admit I love him, and Ill stay with him until
he is bored with me.
Yoona sighed, I knew you love him, anyone with eyes could see but dont you think that you are
just killing yourself?
Victoria knew that she must have sounded very stupid but there was nothing she could do. She
loved the man, and at that moment he wanted her, and she would take advantage of that for as long
as she can.
I want to be with him as long as I can, Victoria whispered.
Yoona slid her hand down the sticky tape sealing the last box before she went over to hug Victoria
tightly.
Did I come back at the wrong time? Nichkhun masculine voice filled the air. Although Nichkhun had
insisted that he should help his wife move but Victoria had told him to go and prepare the spare
room and make space for her things in the master bedroom, in other words, she had asked him to
go away for some hours so that she could have some heart to heart talk with her best friend.
Victoria and Yoona raised their heads to look at Nichkhun. Victoria smiled at him, No, were done.
Nichkhun came closer to her and helped Victoria up. How about we go to a restaurant tonight? he
asked the both of them.
Victorias eyes glittered, she was so happy that her husband was attempting to befriend her best
friend, it showed that he cared, and that he wanted it to last, that would be great!
Yoonas eyes wandered, ErrIm not sure I can
Yoona! Victoria whined.
* * *
Nichkhun held Victorias hand as they stepped into the building for the first time, Good afternoon Mr.
Horvejkul, and this is? the security guard greeted them.
Proudly Nichkhun lifted Victorias hand to his lips for mere seconds, Mr. Han may I introduce to you,
Mrs. Horvejkul, my wife.
Why, congratulations! Mr. Han said with a bright smile.
Good afternoon Mr. Han, Victoria nodded her head with a little smile.
Shell be moving in today, so when the workers come along with the boxes buzz them up alright?
Nichkhun said already leading Victoria towards the elevator.
Mr. Han happily saluted, Sure thing Mr. Horvejkul.
Hes really nice huh? Victoria commented.
Hell have to be, otherwise Ill fire him, Nichkhun said shocking her.
Victoria leaned back onto Nichkhun, You mean apart from all the work we do at the company you
also own apartment buildings?
Nichkhun smiled, You mean my little secretary doesnt know everything about Horvejkul Enterprise?
Amazing!
Victoria rolled her eyes.
* * *
Nichkhun stood behind Victoria as she looked in awe of the apartment, he kicked the door closed
before wrapping his arm around her waist. He leant his head down on her shoulder and kissed her
nape.
Do you like it?
How could anyone not? The sun was setting, and the apartment was filled with a beautiful warm
orange light. Although everything within the apartment truly was able to determine the character of
the owner. The house screamed out bachelor forever.
Victoria turned towards Nichkhun with a rather glum expression. She licked her lips before opening
her mouth to speak, but she once again closed it. Afraid that what she ask would ruin such serenity.
Instead she smiled and requested, Could I add lace curtains? It looks so masculine here.
Nichkhun laughed, having been able to read the jealousy in her eyes, Of course you can. This is no
longer a bachelor hideout. And before you start wondering, no, there have been no woman here
except you and the interior designer and possibly her assistant.
Victoria looked at him with a glint in her eyes, I hope they did not share your bed. I didnt realize you
like to play that way she let her voice trail as the meaning was clear enough.
Nichkhun laughed and pulled her against him as he leant down to give her a deep passionate kiss,
Youre adorable!
Victoria could feel his shaft hard against her stomach, and she smiled, And you sir, are insatiable!
What do you expect when my wife ran out on me for a whole weekend? he asked before swooping
her up into his arms. She gave a yelp of helplessness before twining her arm around his neck, and
pulled herself up an inch so that she could kiss him.
He kicked the door close behind him and threw her unceremoniously onto the bed.
Hey! she protested.
Youre so beautiful my darling wife, he said sitting beside her as he moved her hair from her face,
Absolutely beautiful, he repeated before he bent down and kissed her lightly.
Victoria smiled and her hand ran across his frame before snaking its way into his shirt to twirl her
finger around his nipple, Have I ever told you how cute it was?
Nichkhun laughed, as his hand too travelled over her business shirt, and he massaged her breasts,
bra and all.
Victoria moaned deliciously. Nichkhun started to unbutton his shirt when a bell rang
Victoria laughed as she sat up re-buttoning her shirt, There is your buzz!
Despite Nichkhuns urgings Victoria had not wanted to have her office forged into his. Rather she
continued to stay adjoined to his. Although often at lunchtimes they would lock up all three doors
just in case so that they could have a little privacy.
It has been a month of pure bliss for Victoria, she started to believe that Nichkhun did love her, in his
own way. At least she knew that he cared for her. It was very sweet, seeing the formidable tycoon
being so loving and doting on her.
Victoria broke away from her usual daydream when a loud frantic knock was heard from Nichkhuns
office door, which on its own account was already odd, but because the person whomever they
were have yet to gone through her, his secretary.
When Victoria heard Nichkhun greeting the visitor she decided that it was not a problem, and she
rested her head back onto the desk, bored. Her work were all done, but as Nichkhun was having
some business meeting in his office she could not just come in and ask for more.
Maybe she should change companies, work for a different branch of work altogether. One that was
not influenced or in any contact with the infamous Nichkhun Horvejkul. It would be her best bet.
Victoria listened carefully, when she heard the other door close again, she stood up to go to
Nichkhun.
Without knocking as he had always told her she had the prerogative to check up on him anytime she
wished, with a smile she prepared to greet him.
Her eyes widened, Oh sorry! I thought you had gone, she apologized although deep down she
wanted to question him. The person whom was sitting with her legs crossed on the other side of
Nichkhuns desk was Yoonas once rival, Park Gyuri, not only was she a model but also one of
Nichkhuns brainless past girl friends. It was not because Victoria was jealous and she called her
such but it was the closest to the truth. The girl could not know the difference between invisible and
invincible!
Oh, youre that little secretary that always picks the beautiful scented perfumes for me! the girl
squealed, and Victoria looked over at Nichkhun meaningfully.
Nichkhun gestured for Victoria to come to him, then, as she did so, he pulled her into his lap.
Oh, so youre the one that stole him from me, Bitch, her tone changed drastically, No worries,
Nichkhun is not one to be loyal, he will break up with you soon enough.
Without raising or deepening his voice Nichkhun said clearly, calmly, Gyuri, meet my wife Victoria
Song.
Wife? she quivered, But, you said you would never marry!
Well, I changed my mind, Nichkhun said, as Victoria kept quiet, Now will you leave me alone?
Angrily, Gyuri left the scene.
Did she just unlock the door? Victoria questioned still sitting on his lap.
Mmmh, she did, he agreed.
Victoria looked at him, May I ask why it was locked?
Before you came in here to my rescue I must admit, she was about to perform a seduction
scene to get me back, Nichkhun said plainly.
Yes, and wouldnt you have enjoyed that? Victoria asked glumly.
Nichkhun chuckled, and carefully spun her around so that she straddled his hips, Only if you are the
seducer and Im to be the seduced, he lifted up to kiss her on the lips, Now will you lock the door
so that you could begin? he asked her, and she chuckled as she felt him hardened.
Im afraid not, you either give me more work, or time off to prepare for the dinner tonight, Victoria
said.
Nichkhun drew his eye brows together, What dinner?
The formal dinner
* * *
Victoria stood on the side as she watched Nichkhun dance with one of the new models of Sakura
Lane. One of the managers has suggested him to. It was might as well, since Victoria hadnt felt like
dancing herself, but seeing her husband dancing with so many different beautiful women was not an
ingredient to happiness.
A beautiful blond came her way, and offered a hand for a shake, Victoria took it politely although she
could tell it was all a farce.
Arent you Nichkhuns little secretary? My oh my, you look so much different tonight, I could hardly
recognize you!
Victoria did a mental check, I know she looks familiar but from where?
You dont remember me? the woman guessed, Shame, I remember you. It was your first day
when I met you, I believe.
Victoria ran her mind over her first day, then, she remembered the elegant lady whom had entered
Nichkhuns office, only to reappear an hour later, when Victoria had entered Nichkhuns office for
him to sign a document. It had been utter embarrassment to see his hair disheveled, his tie undone,
and red smudges of lipstick on the corner of his mouth. Im Nana, nice to see you again.
Ahh, so you do remember? she asked rhetorically, I remember what a stud he was in bed
shameI heard he married hastily in Las Vegas, is the lucky woman here tonight? she said looking
around.
Victoria felt like being childish, slashing her hand up yelling, stop looking around, its me! He married
me! But of course she didnt, she had more class than that. Instead at that moment she saw Yoona
entering the room with tycoon Ok Taecyeon in tow. Victoria was curious, but that wasnt why she did
what she did.
Victoria turned to Nana with an apologetic smile, Im sorry, I just spotted a friend, please excuse
me.
Nana looked as though she had been struck by a baseball bat, You have a friend in this crowd? I
thought you had only tagged along! she said tartly before she spun on her heels.
Victoria lifted her nose her up as she walked towards the supposed couple, Yoona, Mr. Ok, she
said greeting them.
Yoona turned to her friend with a bright smile while Taecyeon looked her up and down.
You look beautiful tonight, Miss Song, right? Are you a friend of Yoonas? Taecyeon questioned.
Victoria looked at Taecyeon, then back at Yoona, she raised a brow waiting for her friend to explain.
Yoona blushed slightly under her best friends gaze, Vic, stop it! she protested, and Victoria
laughed, Taecyeon is simply my date tonight, I met him before you came back.
Yes, and you hadnt thought to tell me once I did come back? Victoria said wondering why Yoona
was getting redder. Surely, she had not been too harsh with her teasing.
Yoona sighed, Ill tell you all about it next time we have a get together, now where is the infamous
Mr. Horvejkul?
Victoria turned her gaze towards the dance floor, Hes dancing with all the new models because
one of the managers suggested it.
Victoria heard Yoonas fuming, before she had the girl excuse herself from her partner, Since he is
dancing with models, Im sure I can sneak in, I used to be one after all
Before either Taecyeon or Victoria could stop her she was already across the dance floor, she
tapped Nichkhun on the shoulder. Although Victoria couldnt read lips, she was sure it was
something on the lines of may I cut in?
Victoria heard Taecyeon sigh beside her, So how is your business going Mr. Ok?
Call me Taecyeon, he said softly and taking her elbow, he moved her towards a seat, Business is
going fine, after I fired that incompetent secretary of mine.
Victorias eyes widened innocently, Dont tell me you didnt realize, I did, I noticed that when you
worked with her, she would give you notes which you hand back all fixed!
If that is the case, she must be angry with me! Victoria said.
Taecyeon laughed, No need to worry. I fired her on two accounts on which I only told her one, she
was flirting with the boss, me.
Victoria felt herself fluster. She hadnt only flirted with the boss, she kissed, made love to him and
even married him.
There was an uncomfortable silence before Taecyeon cleared his throat, Would you like to dance?
Knowing that if she sat there all she would do is feel uncomfortable, she smiled, I would love to.
Taecyeon stood up first and offered her his hand so that she could stand up. She placed her hand in
his, Thank you.
Once she was up, Taecyeon placed her hand on the crook of his arm, The pleasure is all mine, if
Nichkhun gets the most beautiful woman, I get the second.
Victoria laughed, Taecyeon acknowledged what he just said and apologized immediately.
I believe you are never suppose to say a woman is second best to anyone, she laughed,
However, I know that I am not second nor first, the people here are out of my league you have
fallen hard havent you?
Taecyeon sighed and nodded his head. How can you tell?
One of the most sought over Bachelor International Playboy, she quoted the latest article in
Yoonas magazine, Would know the simple rules, the woman you are with is always the most
beautiful, not the one that was with you before.
Taecyeon laughed as they began to sway to the soft music.
So do you know who the wife of Nichkhun is, she doesnt seem to be on the scene at the moment,
Taecyeon asked curiously.
Victoria gulped. As she opened her mouth to say that Nichkhuns wife was on the scene, she felt a
tap on her shoulder, Vic, youre dancing with my partner! came the laughing tone from her friend.
Taecyeon and Victoria stopped their dancing and both turned towards the couple.
Nichkhun immediately moved towards her and wrapped his arm around her waist, standing side by
side to Taecyeon he inform the man, You have been dancing with my wife, Ok, so she is on the
scene you think I would come to one of these boring parties without her?
Taecyeons eyes widen, as Yoona went to stand beside him, Vic Miss Song is your wife?
If you want to be formal Mrs. Horvejkul would do, however, as I can see that you are Yoonas
partner Im sure the social distance is non existence, Victoria would suit, although I suppose you do
have to ask my wife.
Victoria blushed lightly, as Taecyeon turned his attention to her, Just call me Victoria, actually your
choice really.
Anything but Qiannie, thats my name for her! Yoona said smiling, her wondrous famous smile. Her
cat walk smile.
Yoona! Victoria said as she reached out to lightly pinch the girl, You need not tell them your name
for me, obviously they wouldnt even think of it if you didnt tell them!
Victoria watched in amazement as color flooded Yoonas cheeks, Sorry.
So what is with Qiannie? Nichkhun asked as Victoria lay snuggled in his embrace after an
explosive love making.
Victoria drew little circles on Nichkhuns chest with her finger, You dont know? Are you sure you
have even looked at my resume? she teased him, as she continued to move her finger around his
body.
So its your name? Nichkhun thought about it. He neednt deny that he had looked at her resume.
For they both knew that, he had been seriously searching for a secretary, and would have never
chosen her just because she was beautiful.
Victoria leaned over and kissed his chest lightly, Kind of, my name is Victoria Song Qian so
Qiannie well, yeah, again she kissed him softly, before looking up at him with her eyes glittering
with passion.
Nichkhun moaned deep in his throat, Victoria Horvejkul, he managed to utter before he was
consumed with passion.
Victoria giggled softly.
* * *
NICHKHUN BUCK HORVEJKUL ANNOUNCED THAT HE HAD WED, yet the only person we saw
by his side was his plain-come-beautiful secretary Victoria Song, is he already having an affair, or
was it a case of hidden passion? Did Horvejkul finally realize how beautiful his secretary is and fell
too deep?... the colorful article continued, about the two possibilities, having snapshots of Nichkhun
and Victoria together, and also one of Yoona and Taecyeon. After some investigations, we find that
Victoria and Im Yoona (ex-model) have been friends for a long time. Have both beauties decided at
the same time to snatch a rich boyfriend? Ok Taecyeon, no less handsome, no less the tycoon, was
also seen with Im Yoona. They seem to be so much more than friends.
Sure you are not angry because of a little article? Victoria said as she massaged Nichkhuns
shoulders gently after he had thrown the paper down on his desk.
Nichkhun placed a hand on hers, No, Im not exactly angry, but the idea of them assuming so much,
disgusts me. I feel terrible to have pulled Yoona and Taecyeon into it as well.
Victoria chuckled, I wonder what Yoonas boss would think of it, she hadnt given exclusives to her
magazine!
Nichkhun turned in his chair, It is not a funny matter, I knew I should have announced who my bride
was, not simply that I was married!
Victoria sat idly onto his lap, placing a kiss on his lips she whispered, It really doesnt matter to me
how anyone else sees me, I only care about how you see me, she wanted to utter the three words
that was so important to her. But was afraid that she would not hear the words returned, and worse,
if she heard the words in return she would also be able to tell if he was only saying it so that she
wouldnt feel uncomfortable.
Nichkhun placed a finger under her chin and lightly moved it up so he could look in her eyes, Still,
my Love, we should sue them!
My love, Victoria contemplated whether the endearment was literal or simply that, an endearment.
She knew it was the latter, but still there was nothing to stop her from wishing that it was the former.
What are you thinking about? Nichkhun voice penetrated her thoughts.
Victoria looked back up at him with a smile, Nothing, then, You shouldnt sue them. You of all
people should know that these gossips should only be read for fun. Most of the time the truth is
nothing close.
Me of all people huh? Nichkhun wondered openly.
Victoria bent her head and suckled at the tender flesh of his neck, How many times have your dates
been exploited unfairly? Or even when you didnt have a date?
Nichkhun held her tighter, No suing, he agreed.
No more phatic communication was needed then. All they needed was each other.
* * *
The skies looked as though it was about to open up. It was about to cry, a thousand tears, to rain
cats and dogs. In other words, the day was gloomy. Promising for a very wet morning, noon and
probably night. Victoria touched her hand to the sliding glass doors. She wiped at the fogged up
glass. Inside the apartment was really warm. The heating allowed the occupant to believe it was in
mid spring until they looked out.
Nichkhun was out to meet with a CEO of another company despite it being a Saturday morning.
Victoria sighed.
Nothing to do.
Her stomach growled then. She chuckled to herself. Breakfast was needed.
* * *
As the aroma of the cooking egg filled her nostrils, bile rose to her throat. Hurriedly she switched off
the stove, then opened her mouth over the sink.
Last nights dinner came hauling out.
After several wretched vomiting sessions, Victoria finally felt better. She washed her face before
going towards the couch.
She rested for awhile for vomiting really took the life out of her. She felt terrible.
Was it something I ate? She mused softly.
But even before those words escaped from her mouth she knew it wasnt. However, the possibility
of
* * *
Victoria stared at the stick in her handnegative or positive? Which one did she want? Which one
would it be?
As the colors began to form, her phone rings, Victoria sighed and stuffed the stick into her pocket
before leaving the bathroom and picked up the phone.
Before she could utter a word the person already began to talk, So that your wife doesnt get
suspicious, I think we should go earlier, seven perhaps? Right Khun? the womans voice was silky
smooth.
Mmm, Victoria said deeply, her heart was now lying on the floor. The woman had stomped on it
with every word she spoke.
When Victoria placed the phone back into its cradle Nichkhun walked in with a smile on his face,
Was that a call for me?
So he had been expecting the call, Victoria thought sadly.
She raised her chin with determination, I want a divorce.
Nichkhun looked at her, wondering why she had suddenly said that. Sure she had wanted that the
very first day they had set foot in Korea, but in the past few months she had seem happy with him,
she had seem content.
I want a divorce, she said again.
Victoria finally thanked the person whom was on the phone, the woman had called just in time
before the results had become evident for Victoria knew, had she known the answer, it could be
harder.
Nichkhuns eyes grew hard, he walked closer to her then touched a hand to her cheek, Are you
sure?
Victoria fought the urge to gulp, the urge to close her eyes tightly she even managed to stop the
tears from flowing, I want a divorce, she stated again.
Several months ago, the only thing that would enter his head would be to use a possible child to
persuade her to stay with him. However, despite her calm demeanor he could see in her eyes a pain
he had not had the experience of facing before. At the beginning of their marriage when they had
first returned to Korea the separation she demanded was less forceful than the one she was
expressing now. It tore at him because there was nothing he could do but to allow her to go. Allow
her to leave his side.
Nichkhun turned away from her, she felt her heart constrict with pain. She dug a hand into her
pocket where the pregnancy test lay she squeezed it, until her knuckles were white. Desperately
she held the tears, Youll also have my resignation letter on your desk tomorrow morning.
There was no way in the world would she be able to work with him any longer, to see him day in day
out, to work over-time with him, and most importantly go back to the ways it was before, when she
had been the middle person between his many girlfriends. No woman would be able to stand to
watch her beloved with another woman either than herself.
Do as you wish, he voice was cold then he left. He left the apartment, and so, he had left her life.
He had walked away with her heart, but at least she still had her dignity.
Victoria moved slowly towards the balcony, not opening the glass doors, she laid her hand on them
and waited. Waited until she was sure he was no longer in the building before she broke down and
cried. Her tears felt as though they would never stop flowing. One of her hand was still clenched in
her pocket, slowly she got in out. Her fingers slowly opened to reveal her destiny. Would she or
would she not be a single mother?
* * *
Yoona patted the powder onto Victorias face, We cannot allow Horvejkul the pleasure of knowing
you are crying from the security guard, she said softly as she searched for a pink gloss.
Victoria gulped, My daughter, my son, she wasnt sure which, but it didnt matter, her child, no
matter male or female would be loved, Wont be angry at me, right?
Yoona laid a hand on Victorias flat stomach, a smile, pure of friendship glowed on her face, Why
would the baby be angry? Surely, you do not believe that he or she would enjoy watching their
fathers promiscuous life in playnonetheless, you will not be a single parent, you will always have
me by your side.
Victoria felt tears brimming in her eyes again.
* * *
Victoria, with her head held high walked into Nichkhuns office without so much of a knock, Mr.
Horvejkul, she greeted formally.
Nichkhun raised his head from the work on his table, and she could see the dark circles beneath his
eyes.
It tore at her heart thinking of what he had done with some unknown female till he had lack of sleep.
She walked slowly over to his desk and slid across an envelope, My resignation letter, then, If you
expect two weeks notice and for me to train my successor then I will.
Nichkhun picked up the letter and placed it into the top drawer beside him, That is not necessary,
there is already a replacement. You need not stay unless you choose to.
The words replayed in her head. The thoughts that would tear her to pieces. He does not love you.
He does not care. You were a warm willing body.
Goodbye Mr. Horvejkul.
She wasnt about to tell him about the child, he would find out sooner or later. That is if he ever
chose to read her letter. There was the professional one, and then there was a personal one. She
felt obliged to tell him that he had fathered a child. Although their divorce was not finalized she knew
that even if Nichkhun was to find out, sure he may like to be a part of the childs life, but he wouldnt
be so cruel as to fight for custody, in which she could win anyway. A father was never given
advantage over a mother, and then she could despite not wanting to embarrass him she could
bring up the facts of an unstable life for the child if it was to live with a man whom flitted from one
bed to another.
* * *
Hours became days and days became months.
Victoria went about her daily life, her stomach growing a bulge. One she knew she should be sharing
with Nichkhun, but simply could not
Taecyeon and Yoonas relationship continued to grow healthily that is what Victoria had seen of it
so far.
At times, Victoria felt the loneliness of being in the apartment all by herself, yet whenever she closed
her eyes, whenever she touched her stomach she no longer felt lonely. When she touched her
stomach she felt as though Nichkhun was just beside her, just as she felt at the moment.
A smile featured on her face, she was glad, although Nichkhun was not beside her, she still had a
gift he had given her, her child.
The door bell rang.
Victoria stood up shaking her head, Yoona was constantly forgetting her keys these last couple of
weeks.
Why is it that you continuously forget to bring your keys? Are you letting Taecyeon effect you that
much? Victoria said turning from the door after she opened it, not seeing who the actual visitor was.
Ok has nothing to do with why I have no keys to your apartment.
Victorias body stiffened, then she turned slowly towards the man, the man she loved.
Nichkhun smirked as he saw the surprise written all over Victorias face. Although, he had been
living in frustration for the last few months, just seeing her made his feelings soar.
What are you doing here? she stuttered.
He came immediately to her side, she was pregnant with his child, a child he didnt know of until the
previous day.
Victoria allowed him assist her towards the couch as his touch gave her the feeling of peace, What
are you doing here? she asked again.
Taking his chance Nichkhun leaned in and laid a soft kiss against Victorias shoulder, To see the
mother of my child.
Victoria despite her fragile state stood up abruptly then turned just as fast towards Nichkhun,
You dont seriously believe that you can come waltzing in here, and act as though nothing
happened between us?
Nichkhun reached out and touched her stomach, Nothing did happen to us, it was all a
misunderstanding.
Her eyes gleamed, How could you say that?
He shrugged, Nothing did happen, I walked into the apartment and you asked for a divorce, I didnt
do anything!
Victoria closed her eyes as she took a deep breath, That woman was not a figment of my
imagination!
Nichkhun stood up and wrapped his arms around her body, she attempted to fight him off but could
not.
In such a case, then I did less than I thought, he let her go, dug into his pocket to produce a
beautiful hair clip, personally designed for Victoria Song Horvejkul.
The woman who called that day worked for me, she was helping me design the perfect gift for you,
he told her.
She could believe him, she could lie to herself and believe him. Live in a world of untruths, fed to her
by a man whom wants his son. However, she could not.
She turned away from him, Leave, or else I will.
Im not going without you, he said solemnly.
FINE! she moved towards the door.
Nichkhun watched as she moved, he couldnt believe she really did want to leave him, after all he
told her.
I love you, he whispered quietly and from the door, her feet stilled. She turned around with a
disbelieving look. He came closer to her and repeated his words.
Its for the child, isnt it? Victorias eyes misted. She stared up at the ceiling for the tears to go away
before saying quietly, menacingly, Mr. Horvejkul, her voice was cold, emotionless, Those words of
endearment means nothing unless the person who speaks them truly means them, and you do not.
Victoria turned around abruptly before the tears glided on her long lashes before falling on her
cheeks, her body trembled as she tried to exit.
Nichkhun couldnt and wasnt about to let the love of his life walk out on him that way. At least he
would try his damn best to get her to stay, he wasnt going to let his abandonment be easy for her.
He didnt know or exactly care if she loved him back at that moment. He just wanted her to know that
he loves her. Nichkhun reached out just as she reached for the door knob and pulled her into his
embrace. He knew she didnt want to directly look at him. She tried struggling but his hold was
strong, he wasnt about to let her go.
Please hear me out, she stopped her futile attempt of escaping and he could feel her burying her
face in the crook of his neck. Feeling her trembling in his embrace and knowing that she was
sobbing. Sobbing because of him, it made his heart wrench painfully.
Ive loved you since forever. My marriage vows were not little fibs, they werent even white lies! His
voice was crackly, Although, I loved you then, I only realized that when you walked out on me, he
took in a large gulp of air before continuing, I realized that I loved you when you walked out,
divorced me and although I was so sure that you werent pregnant I still wanted you back. I lay
sleepless in the large lonely bed reminiscing those days I shared with you. I realized that that from
that day I met you I didnt want you to be with any other.
I tried to forget about you Victoria. I couldnt. No woman could replace you in my heart, she felt her
body relax slightly in his embrace, or even in my bed
Victoria looked up at him with watery eyes but they were no longer refilling, You had other women in
our bed? her voice trembled fiercely afraid of his answer.
Not in our bed, he said truthfully then noticed her eyes becoming dark with anger he rapidly added,
Even at a hotel weve never been her eyes grew darker and her mouth was set in a grim line, I
tried, but I couldnt. They just werent they just werent you, my wife, he hugged her tighter afraid
she would reject him for his lack of loyalty. When he felt her arms wrapped around him he felt as
though nothing could be better. He was in heaven. He tightened his embrace. A grin christened his
face for the first time since her departure.
I love you too, Victoria whispered so quietly that he thought he had imagined it. However, he did
feel her breath against his neck. He held her out just far enough so that he was able to look down at
her sweet face and her up at his fine chiseled features.
What did you say? Nichkhun asked.
I love you, she whispered again and he could see her eyes glitter.
Nichkhun immediately bent his head to capture her pink luscious lips in a sweet lingering kiss, filled
with promises and love.
Sorry, I came home at the wrong time! The couple broke their kiss and turned to the door from their
new position, the couch. There stood Im Yoona, looking her best as usual, covering her eyes with a
slit in her hand to sneak-a-peek.
Ahat last I get to meet the famous Victoria Song, Nichan, Nichkhuns brother approached the re-
newly-weds.
Victoria smiled sweetly at the man that looked similar to her husband, and shorter than him by mere
insignificant centre meters, Nice to meet you Mr. Horvejkul, Its a habit! She wanted to cry out as
she realized her formal greeting, Sorry, Nice to meet you Nichan, she corrected and was confused
when the two siblings laughed, enjoying a silent joke at her expense.
Please, call me Chan, he corrected her.
Chan, she repeated with a clipped tone.
Ahh, I can see why you didnt visit me on your holiday with your fiance! You were scared I was
going to take her away, huh? Nichan punched Nichkhun playfully on the shoulder. Victoria turned
just in time to see Nichkhun flinch.
Victoria turned back to Nichan, Im glad you came to our second wedding, but may I ask you a
question? Nichan nodded, If youre here and so is the whole family, who is taking care of the hotel
and casino? She sent Nichkhun a knowing look before her attention fell back on Nichan.
Nichan laughed, You cant think of me being that hopeless! None of the family has ever attempted
to help with the business, Victoria. When Im not there I have constant contact with my head
manager whom is extremely qualified, reliable and trustworthy. Also, I check from the internet. I
check the accounts, he said with a shrug. Why did you ask? he eyed his brother, Did my brother
tell you I was so irresponsible? Is that why you stayed away from my suite that was in the casino
merely 10 minutes from your own suite?
Victoria, as humored as she was at that moment, wasnt about to confront her husband. Victoria
pasted on a sweet smile rather than the cheeky smile, Its not that, I was wondering if my intuition
was right. That you are trusting with your employees and therefore have their complete loyalty. They
all seem happy and gave you praise
Victoria didnt know if Nichan bought her lame excuse but he didnt say anything before smiling. He
excused himself a moment later saying he had seen the most beautiful girl ever. Before he moved
for the chase, he reassured her that if she wasnt married to his ugly-ass brother she would have
been on top list.
Nichkhun wrapped his arms around her waist hugging her tight, she turned around in his embrace
and looked up at him, We have to talk Mr. Horvejkul, later she tiptoed and he bent his head, their
lips met.
* * *
Sated, Victoria lay in Nichkhuns arms, she looked up at him to find him looking down at her. She
remembered the encounter with Nichan and mischief danced in her eyes, How come you didnt
allow me to meet your brother on our business trip?
Nichkhuns eyes laughed, Okay I surrender! I left something out when I declared my love
Victoria began as though Nichkhun wasnt just about to give her full detail, What? That you tricked
me into going there with you, so that you could seduce me?
Nichkhun saw the glint in her eyes and he felt relaxed. He placed a hand on her slightly swollen
stomach and stroked with sensuous strokes, Partly, she gave a little giggle, It was all a big plan. I
couldnt stand that perfect, prim secretary any longer when I always suspected her to be passionate
and nothing but simple as she set out to be
You expected me to have had many lovers! Victoria protested as Nichkhun bent his head to nibble
her shoulders flesh.
Nichkhun looked at her, pulling his head away from her delicious skin, Ah yes, but I was glad you
didnt. Then I married you because
You were forced by responsibility!
Mrs. Horvejkul, could you let me speak all at once? Nichkhun laughed to see her expression, Now
that is better. I know you reckon I was forced, and at that moment I thought it was the responsibility
that made me do it too, he rolled on top of her and began kissing her body between breaths, But I
realized that it was all an excuse. I brought you to Vegas with one thing on mind, passion filled week
with no strings. I thought that once I tasted you, I could at last be free of you, God how wrong was
I? He chuckled and she smiled temptingly.
And I dont bring along Marriage contracts just in case, Victoria. I got one sent to me, when you left
my bed that moment I needed to be sure youll be legally mine so I called my solicitor to check with
the local officials for special documents needed to ensure our marriage will be recognized in our
country and he got it ready by the hour. While we were shopping, it was faxed to the chapel, the
reverend was actually sent by the Clark County Marriage Bureau. Victoria let out a surprised laugh.
Victoria was smiling, laughing and giggling so often now that everything between Nichkhun and
herself were so perfect.
Although I know that I did that because I love you now, I didnt then. I wanted to keep you by my
side forever. But I was afraid, I told myself it was because of the baby, and because I was your first, I
wanted to take responsibility of taking such innocence. I told myself that you kept your innocence for
your values and beliefs of giving it to your husband, I made myself feel obliged to not let you feel
anything but glad, that you had surrendered your virginity to me. I didnt want you to feel regretful!
his voice became a choked sound.
I would have never felt regretful of those moments spent in your arms, Victoria whispered as tears
fell.
Nichkhun noticed her tears and quickly rubbed them away with his thumb, I promised I wouldnt
make you cry ever again! Im such a lousy husband!
Victoria twisted her face around as his thumb glided down her cheek and captured his thumb in her
mouth and sucked it luxuriously. Nichkhun moaned her name.
Victoria released his thumb, It's happy tears.
Time and time again, I lied and used the non-evident pregnancy to hold you back.
Why were you scared? Victoria truly wanted to know what had kept her husband from telling her he
loved her, and admitting it to himself.
I lived my life expecting to stay a bachelor
You wanted to play musical beds, you wanted to be like the emperors of the Qing Dynasty! she
accused.
Something like that, I felt invincible, then I met you. When at last I had you, I felt trapped, you were
the only woman I ever wanted. Before I actually had you I was able to lie to myself and still release
carnal desires with other women but once I knew how it felt to have you in my arms, in my bed, I no
longer felt any attraction to any other woman. On that night you left me, I went to Yuri, then to Uee,
they were bare in front of me and I felt nothing. I left them and returned to this empty bed, I couldnt
sleep. Do you know what I did? Nichkhun asked although he knew he was going to color when he
revealed it to her.
Nope! she said cutely before looking him evilly, Before you tell me what you did, promise me you
never see any woman bare again even when we have a row. Though I doubt itll last, youll just need
to kiss me and Ill melt!
I promise, you will be the only woman for me, apart from, Nichkhun chuckled when Victoria sent
him a chilling glare, my mother, aunties and future daughters. But you shall be the only one I will
make irresistible love to! Victoria smiled at that promise. Well, back to what I did shall we? she
nodded, and he rolled off her knowing that he neednt make love to her to feel happy, all he needed
was have her in his arms, and they could talk forever. He pulled her close to him, I woke up and got
your most recent worn dress and held it close, when that wasnt enough I got your shampoo. But it
smelled nothing like when it wasnt on your hair. I tried your body wash, but that was nothing like it
should be like when it is on your edible skin
Victoria shivered delightfully, I love you.
And, I love you, dear Mrs. Nichkhun Horvejkul, Nichkhun whispered, And I have a whole lifetime to
prove it, and because that wouldnt be enough I will make sure we marry in our next life and prove it
to you all over again.
* * *
Nichkhun was in the shower and as much as it was tempting to follow him as he had suggested she
decided she needed to pack up her mothers creation, the wedding dress. Yesterday, she had worn
it to the most wonderful party, her wedding. The one where love was known by both candidate.
Rather than acknowledged by both in each others heart but not to the other. Both know of the
forever love the other has for them.
Nichkhun came out of the shower with nothing but a white cotton towel. He watched as Victoria ran a
hand through the dress before tears spilled in her eyes. He wanted to go comfort her that moment
but had not the chance as she wiped away the tears and looked up at the ceiling as though she saw
right through it.
Thank you Mother, Thank you God, for blessing my marriage, Victoria looked back down at the
dress and cradled it before standing up and picking it up along with her. She turned around.
Is there something you have to tell me? Nichkhun asked curious.
RosePetal was my mother, Victoria said simply quietly.
As simple as that those simple words, made Nichkhun more certain that no matter what obstacles
although he hoped for none they would get through it.
Victoria, Honey?Nichkhun called out, stepping into his home. He was eager to come home and see
Victoria, especially since a meeting had kept him late at work. Vic? Where are you?He called
again, only to be answered by an utter silence.
Nichkhun couldnt help but feel anxious. Checking his handphone, he found that he had a few
messages and voicemails. He pushed the button and reviewed all the messages. His ears perked
up instantly as he heard his wifes sweet voice. Khun, Im going to be rather late. Yoonas friends
from her workplace decided to throw her a baby shower at the last minute. Dont make Kenny stay
up so late. You dont have to wait up for me. I love you. Bye.Taking a relaxing breath, Nichkhun felt
better knowing she was okay.
Appa! a three-year old boy came running towards him. Yeah! You're home!
Hey there little buddy! Nichkhun picked up his son in his arms.
Did you buy candy? little Kenny asked, he looked so much like his father, except for his eyes. He
got his mothers beautiful bunny eyes.
Of course! But dont eat them all, Ummas not going to like it. Nichkhun warned.
Kenny nodded happily and held out his little hand to receive his candies. Wah!
Hey, what do you say?
Thank you Appa. Kenny answered giving him a hug.
Nichkhun laughed and gave his son a kiss on his chubby cheeks.
Thanks for taking care of him today, Sulli. Nichkhun said to the babysitter.
It was my pleasure Mr.Horvejkul, Kenny is so sweet.
After the babysitter left, the father and son duo played together until it was time for Kenny to go to
bed. Nichkhun tucked him to sleep and read him his favorite story until he was in his dreamland.
Leaving Kennys room, he decided to shower and change before Victoria returned.
* * *
Victoria entered the house as quietly as possible. Assuming that Nichkhun would already be in bed,
fast asleep. She was surprised to find him on the sofa, reading. Hey. Youre still up.She greeted
him, making herself comfortable beside him. Is our little prince asleep?
Yeah. He was exhausted from playing, I only got to read him a quarter of his favorite bedtime story
and he was fast asleep. He answered, still keeping his attention directed towards the page he was
currently reading, an impish grin threatening to turn up at the corners of his mouth.
Victoria had hoped hed be happier to see her home than this. Releasing a tired sigh, she stood up,
heading for the stairs. Before she could take her first step, a hand took hold of hers, pulling her
down. Victoria found herself in Nichkhuns lap. Leaning back against the sofa, he embraced her
closer to his chest, one arm supporting her back while the other rested on her thigh where her skirt
just ended, leaving skin exposed. His warmth surrounded her and she involuntarily snuggled deeper
into his arms.
I didnt know you missed me that much. We were just together this morning.Nichkhun chuckled.
Yes, very much. And I come home to find you still up. With a book!Victoria exclaimed childishly.
What do you expect me to do to pass the time while I stay up and wait for you?He laughed,
brushing stray hairs away from her eyes.
You waited for me?She inquired innocently, observing him closely for his answer.
Of course.He replied, amused that she was still insecure. What kind of husband will I be if I went
to bed without my wife?
I dont think I want to find out.Victoria answered laughing softly.
So, how was the baby shower?Nichkhun asked suddenly. He was curious to know the result,
especially when that was the very reason she returned home late.
It was great for a party that was planned last minute. Although, my feet are killing me now, Ive been
on them all day, literally.Victoria pouted, causing her husband to burst out in laughter.
My poor wife. Why dont you go take a hot shower? It might relax all those muscles.He suggested,
kissing her temple.
Disentangling herself from his loving arms, she stood up and turned to face him. Ill see you in bed
then?
No. If I did that, I would answer the question of what kind of husband I would be if I went to bed
without you.He grinned. And you said you didnt want to find out.
Laughing at his reply, she bent down and kissed him tenderly and skipped up the stairs. Fine. Ill
see you after my shower.She yelled from the top, while Nichkhun shook his head amusedly at his
wifes youthful antics.
Victoria gently opened the door to Kennys room, finding him sleeping soundly. She made her way to
him and kissed him on his forehead before fixing his blanket. Goodnight my little prince. Umma
missed you today. Ill make it up to you tomorrow.
Victoria went into their room, expecting to find Nichkhun already waiting for her in bed. Instead she
found a dark, empty room. The bed didnt even look like it had been touched since it had been made
in the morning. Glancing at the clock on the nightstand, it read midnight. Where on earth would he
be at this time? He has to get up early tomorrow. She thought.
Leaving the bedroom, Victoria descended the stairs. Arriving in the living area, she found Nichkhun
once again on the sofa, still reading his book. His brows were knitted in a slight frown as he
concentrated on the words.
I wouldve thought youd be in bed. Especially when you have that big meeting in the morning.She
voiced, moving closer to the sofa.
And I wouldve thought I made it very clear that I wasnt going to bed without you.He answered
evenly, closing the book and placing it on the coffee table. He reached out to his wife and pulled her
into his lap once again.
Arent you tired?Victoria asked, wrapping her arms around his neck. In response, Nichkhun
tightened his arms around her.
Yes. Very tired in fact. But that doesnt matter. Right now all I want is to make up the time we lost
while you were at Yoonas baby shower.
Sighing, Victoria rested her head in the crook of Nichkhuns neck. Is something wrong, Vic?He
questioned quietly, stroking her hair gently.
Hmm? No. Its just no, its nothing.She stumbled over her words.
Victoria, what is it?He continued to coax.
Victoria just shook her head, disentangled herself from his arms and stood up, attempting to move
toward the stairs, though Nichkhun caught her hand before she even took her first step. Rising from
the sofa, he took hold of her other hand as well. Victoria refused to look into his eyes, opting to stare
at the carpeted floor instead.
You want a daughter.Nichkhun softly stated, causing her to look at him surprised. Pulling her into
his arms tenderly, he chuckled lightly at her reaction. Honey, I wouldnt be a very good husband if I
didnt know what you wanted.
Tilting her head up from the embrace, she placed a devoted kiss on his unexpected lips. I think you
know me better than I know myself.
Just like how you know me better than I know myself.He retaliated with a grin.
Sweet talker.She accused, giggling, slapping his arm playfully, but quickly quieted. Its not going to
happen anytime soon.She breathed, returning to the previous topic.
Abruptly, Nichkhun lifted Victoria off her feet cradling her in his protective arms. Well, were just
going to have to change that now, wont we, Mrs.Horvejkul? He said with a glint in his sea of ebony.
Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul!Victoria exclaimed, only to be silenced by his unrelenting lips as he
slowly ascended the stairs.
The last sound heard was Nichkhun kicking the bedroom door closed, isolating the couple in their
own world of euphoric bliss.
