Prologue
Skyla Payne has been home from culinary school for six months now. She had hoped that her arranged marriage to Niles Martin would become more real now that she wasn't in school in France anymore. He never bothered to contact her while she was in school, nor was he discreet about his affairs. In fact, they had just dealt with yet another pregnancy scare scandal, the 5th one since they were married when she was 18. At 21, Skyla never thought she would be married, let alone have to deal with a cheating spouse. She knew this was a business arrangement for her husband, but she had hoped he would stay faithful. Not that they had ever had s*x in their three years of marriage. In fact, Skyla was still a virgin. Skyla's father, John, had arranged her marriage with Niles' father, Matthew, in order to merge their hotel businesses when Luxury Brand Hotels was about to destroy them. Luxury had updated their hotels worldwide just over a decade prior in order to compete with Sky Hotels and Wind Hotels. It worked, so, both John and Matthew thought it would be best to merge into one company and become Skywinds Hotels. Matthew had wanted his son Niles to settle down, and decided that he would have Niles marry Skyla, John's often forgotten daughter. Matthew had known the Paynes for decades, and knew Skyla's mother and father treated her horribly. While her brother Markus got a Ferarri for his high school graduation, Skyla had gotten an arranged marriage. Matthew genuinely cared for Skyla, she was like the daughter he never had, as he'd lost his wife and unborn daughter in a car crash when Niles was just 10 years old. Skyla always had a crush on Niles growing up. He was such a solemn boy after his mother passed away. She often tried to tag along with her brother Markus to see how Niles was doing. The boys often excluded her, so Matthew had brought her into the kitchen while he worked on new recipes for the hotel's restaurant. Matthew was the one to insist that she go to culinary school, and got her in at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, France. She was at the top of her class for the past two years and graduated with hundreds of offers to work at many five-star restaurants all over Europe, but she declined all of them to go home to her husband. While Niles only viewed the marriage as a business arrangement, Skyla hoped she could make it a real marriage. She wrote Niles three times a week while she was away, but she never heard from him. Tomorrow would be their three-year anniversary, and she was planning a special dinner. Niles' favorite cuisine was Mexican food, so she was prepping for Carne Asada, Spanish rice, black beans and Niles' favorite, Arroz con Pollo. She had the meat marinating in the fridge, and had a light supper. Skyla was still overweight by societal standards, and Niles', if we're being honest, but she was comfortable in her body. She would never be a size 0, but she was comfortable in her size 10 jeans. At 5'5", she didn't consider herself fat, but Niles preferred tall, leggy, size 2 at most, women. Now that Skyla was done with school and she had come home, she thought she would try to lose weight for Niles, and maybe he wouldn't cheat on her anymore. Skyla cleaned up the kitchen after dinner, and turned off the lights downstairs, and went up to their bedroom. She took a long hot shower, and got ready for bed. She lay in their bed, looking up new ideas for her future restaurant. She knew that Matthew said she could come and cook for the hotels if she wanted, but she had her heart set on opening her own restaurant someday. After her father passed away last year, she just knew she had to do something she loved. Skyla fell asleep with her computer in her lap. Extremely early the next morning... It was 2:30am when Niles came home. He knew Skyla was there, and he did everything in his power to avoid his fat little wife. He couldn't wait until tomorrow night when he would serve her with divorce papers. He knew Skyla had planned a special dinner for them, and he had the papers gift wrapped. So he only had to play at being her husband for a few more hours. He went around the dining room setting up the cameras to record her reaction and post it online. It was cruel, but so what, his father made him marry a fat girl in order to gain 40% control of the business. Markus already had 40% since his father passed away. He was never forced to marry someone he didn't even like in order to get his share. Markus got to play around, and then fell in love when he wanted to. It was cruel of his father to make him get married young. He had only been 23, he needed to play the field, but his father never understood that. Now he couldn't wait to destroy his father's dream of his "happy marriage", and Skyla deserved it because she could have said no, but instead, she went with it because of her silly school girl crush on him, which he never reciprocated. He couldn't stand her, she was short and fat. She had a nice face, and gorgeous, big violet eyes, but she was fat. He liked his women to be tall, leggy, and skinny. Big breasts were a bonus, but not necessary. After all, he wasn't that superficial. After he had everything all set up, he went upstairs to his bedroom only to find Skyla asleep in it. She didn't look exactly comfortable, she was sitting up slightly, her head fell on her left shoulder, her laptop on her lap, glasses slightly askew. She honestly looked a little cute. But, she was still fat. Julie Ross, his latest girlfriend, was 5'9", blonde-haired, blue-eyed, model thin, and LEGGY. Everything he liked in his women. He couldn't wait until he had Skyla sign the divorce papers. He cleared his throat after a few minutes of watching Skyla sleep, startling her awake. "Niles!" She exclaimed. "I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting you home until tomorrow night." Niles hadn't come back to the house since Skyla's return from France. He stayed with Julie in her condo in Pasadena. He only came home tonight because Julie wanted to make sure he actually gave Skyla the divorce papers. Niles looked at Skyla with lust as he'd seen the pajama top she was wearing, a red satin, spaghetti-strapped top. It looked sexy against her light olive skin tone. 'Maybe I should give her a going away gift', he thought as he stared at her ample breasts. 'I know she's a virgin, and maybe, I should give her what she obviously wants wearing that outfit.' After all, he's her husband, and her virginity was his to take. "I came home early because I thought I would give you one of your anniversary gifts early," he said as he started removing his clothes. Skyla blushed as she saw the look in his eyes, and watched him as he removed his clothes slowly, never breaking eye contact with her. It was the sexiest thing she had ever seen. She bit her lower lip as he lowered his pants, leaving him in only a pair of tightie whities. The bulge in the front was growing larger by the second the more he looked at her, the strap of her top fell off her shoulder, he gulped visibly, and crawled on the bed. "Skyla, would you be okay with me making love to you tonight? I know we haven't yet, and I know you're a virgin, but I can't help but want you." "Niles, I don't know. I mean..." "Please, Skyla? You look so sexy, and it is our anniversary. I think we should. Don't you?" He pressured her. Skyla didn't know why, all of a sudden, Niles wanted to have s*x with her, but she had dreamed of this since before they were married. "Will you be gentle Niles? I have always heard that it hurts the first time. I'm a little scared." He started to stroke her cheek, "I'll be gentle with you right now, and do my best not to let you feel any pain tonight." Skyla looked up at him through hooded lids, and nodded. "I need you to say it Skyla," he said, he was desperate for her consent. "Yes..." she whispered. Niles smiled gently at her, then began to kiss her cheek, planting soft kisses down her cheek, then across her jawline, down her neck, sucking gently at the junction where her neck meets her collar bone. He liked to leave his mark on women. From there he kissed her chest, he removed her top, and her DD breasts spilled out, standing out perky for such large mammaries. He held them in his hands. They were firm, but soft, like Skyla herself. Skyla was larger than the women he used daily, but he realized it was mostly muscle. It must be from all the work she did in the kitchens she worked in while she was studying in France. Niles continued his foreplay, and when Skyla was moaning his name, begging him to go further, he slid into her gently, as promised. He took his time with her, she was so incredibly tight, he almost came right then. He reached her hymen and stopped. He leaned down to whisper, "Baby, this is going to hurt, but I will try to be as gentle as possible," as he rubbed her love button, making her squirm, gently stroking his shaft in and out of her, pulling out every time he reached her hymen, trying to thin the membrane out so it wouldn't tear with so much pain. "Are you ready baby," he asked as she started begging him to keep going. Skyla looked up at him and moaned, "Yes Niles. Please take me..." she said just as he fully plunged into her, breaking her hymen and filling her with his rock hard pole. She didn't cry, or scream, she moaned as he thrust into her, encouraging him to keep going. She felt her toes curl as pleasure washed over her body. Skyla's first time was everything she'd hoped it would be. Niles was gentle and loving, she believed he finally wanted her, loved her, needed her, she moaned into his ears, bringing him more and more pleasure as her walls tightened around him. She started matching him thrust for thrust. Just when she thought she couldn't take it anymore, the dam within broke and she moaned his name as her body exploded in orgasm. Her walls tightening and pulsating around his long, thick member, Niles felt a gush of warm wetness 'she squirts', he thought, as she came, he heard her moan his name and say, "I love you Niles," and it pushed him over the edge himself. He climaxed as he shot his load deep within her vaginal walls. Panting hard, both of them breathless. He kissed her forehead as he got up and went into the bathroom. Skyla was weak-kneed and shaking. Every few breaths, her body gave off mini-convulsions, and she felt small spurts of wetness coming out of her. Her body was covered in a fine sheen of sweat. She never thought her first time would feel so good. She had a smile on her face and her eyes were closed when Niles came back into the room with a warm wet washcloth. He gently started to wipe her up, cleaning her most intimate area. It was, after all, the least he could do for her when he knew what he was going to do later. Just because he took her virginity, didn't mean he loved her. He cringed when she admitted her love for him. He didn't want to be married to her. He wanted to be free to play around, sow some more wild oats. Later that day... Sarah put the finishing touches on her dishes, she was so energized today after Niles had made love to her. She felt like they were finally becoming a true married couple. She even made homemade flan for dessert. She lit the candles on the table. She heard Niles' car pull into the driveway, and she went to the door and opened it for him. He was carrying a medium-sized gift-wrapped box. He smiled at her as he walked in the door and kissed her cheek. "Hi baby, I missed you," Skyla told him. Niles looked at her, still smiling, and led her to the dining room. The tantalizing aroma of all his favorite foods wafted into his nose the minute he stepped in the door, he was excited about the food. Skyla was an accomplished chef. He pulled out her chair as he replied to her, "I missed you too," and in that second, he meant it. He never knew she would be so responsive to him, and it made him feel god-like knowing he made her squirt the first time she had ever had s*x. He knew other men would probably be ruined for her after him. Skyla had fixed the plates already, so they just dug in, and talked about their days. It felt like a dream come true to Skyla. After she presented the dessert and they had a cup of coffee, Niles finally gave Skyla her gift. "What's this?" She asked, excited. "I thought my gift was what we did last night?" She smiled shyly as she carefully unwrapped the paper. Niles smiled, "It was, this is a bonus gift," he replied. He watched her open the gift, and smiled bigger as he saw her face fall reading the legal document. "Niles, is this a joke?" She asked. Tears started to stream down her face. Niles just laughed, "Nope. I never wanted to be married to a fat ass, or married at all. I only married you so I could get 40% of the hotel business. You were a business deal, and last night was to seal the end of said deal. You have one week to get out and move on. I don't care where you go, I just want you gone. Make sure you read that carefully, and sign it. I had to have it amended this morning, when I realized I was stupid and forgot to wear a condom." Skyla looked confused. She read it. The divorce agreement stipulated that should she get pregnant from their one night, she was expected to terminate the pregnancy. If she did not terminate it, she should not expect anything from Niles, no acknowledgment of the child, or support. Skyla, enraged, looked up at Niles. "Is this what you want? Truly what you want?" She asked. He smirked, "Yup." He responded, popping the P sound. He looked at her with disgust and callousness in his eyes, "You would never be good enough for me. You're fat, and I expect any child you had would also be fat. I like perfect, pretty girls. You'll never be what I like." He faltered a little as he saw the hurt in her eyes as tears streamed out. "Fine." Skyla signed the agreement and handed it to him. There was nothing left for her here. Her heart, while broken, hardened. She went to their room and started packing. He went into the room, saw her bent over the suitcase and thought, 'Maybe she'd give me another go, for the road?' But then he got a call from Julie and walked out. Skyla called her mother, told her what happened and her mother hung up on her. She tried calling her brother, Markus, but he sent her straight to voicemail. He knew what was happening because his best friend told him. Skyla knew her family hated her. It was made apparent at her father's funeral, the one she wasn't invited to. So she called the only person who had ever shown her kindness. "Matthew, Niles left me."
