His Devious Rule

At the Oasis mansion,

The guests started to pour into the Oasis mansion from six in the evening. Most of them were rather interested in the mansion than congratulating Anya. Well, they did admire her achievements but visiting the Oasis mansion was a once-in-a-lifetime chance and experience.

Most of the guests were invited by Ean, and Rob on behalf of Alvin considering their business and Alvin's connections. A few business associates, some foreign clients, and investors, the Collins family is a family to them, the Lewis family of Krystle, the Watson family of Ean, and the executives of the Skylark were attending the party.

They had invited Liam and his wife as a courtesy but the latter refused to attend with an excuse.

There were Catalina and Dennis's friends and very closely associated relatives who were on good terms with them and Anya in the past years. They meticulously avoided the people who were eager to ride on Anya or Alvin's coattails.

Apart from those, Anya's colleagues excluding Dot or Axel were attending. They were more curious about her lab than the party or the mansion.

Excited Zane had asked permission before inviting his few friends. Thus Jason's wife brought Jia to the party.

The swimming pool on the lower ground floor was covered for the party. Alvin could only compromise on that floor. It would avoid people wandering upstairs to a more private section of the mansion. 

Rob's brows were twitching continuously looking at Alaric De Michèle arriving with Ata Sullvian. He truly hadn't thought the man would shamelessly attend the party. 

Mark walked up to Rob, grabbing a wine flute on the way. Ean went up to Rob from aside while forcing a smile at some guests. Both asked the same question.

"Where is Boss and Young Madam?"

"What the f*ck are they doing?" Because the hosts were fifteen minutes late.

Rob: 😶

On the other side, Krystle checked her wristwatch for the fourth time and glanced at Catalina. Both shrugged without knowing where the couple was.

Only one could be safe entering the Lion and Lioness's den so a few turned to the little gentleman who was swarmed by other little ones. 

Before they could disturb the little ones, a hush fell in the hall and everyone turned to the stairs. Next to the sparkling designer black dress shoes, the burgundy and black ombre pumps stepped down the stairs.

Alvin looked like a charming devil in his all-black suit next to Anya who was donning a burgundy off-the-shoulder dress. 

Against his cold, indifference, and perfect composure, Anya appeared delicate, radiant yet tempting in her short dress. The attractive rose blush on her cheeks was hard to ignore.

First to move in the crowd was Zane followed by Jia. While Jia ran over, Zane walked in composure to reach the couple. 

Jia threw her hands in the air, requesting Alvin with her big eyes to carry her. When Alvin obliged her, she kissed his cheek and Anya's cheek, "Aunt Anya is looking so gorgeous." She complimented in an aww.

Whereas Zane cupped Anya's face and asked worriedly, "Momma, are you feeling cold?"

Anya bit her scarlet lips, shaking her head as she stood up. She shot daggers at her husband who pretended to be oblivious to her gaze.

The crowd was mostly wordless looking at the delicateness of the tough lady and the gentleness & humanness of the devious man.

Krystle exclaimed as she approached them, "Annie, you look ravishing in red." Then she asked in curiosity, "Who did your makeup?" Because Anya's skin looked flawless and radiant and makeup was hardly visible on her skin.

Her fingers barely grazed Anya's chin, her eyes widened when she saw there was only lipstick and her skin was bare. 

She lowered her voice and asked, tugging her to the center to pop the Champagne. "You are blushing!?" There was no reason to blush unless "Did you come from outside?" It was still winter.

Anya contemplated before asking in the lowest voice possible, "Control your reaction when I ask this." 

Krystle obediently braced herself and heard Anya reluctantly ask, "What are those small steel-like balls inserted… down there?" She grimaced, cursing Alvin in her mind for not giving her mobile to search for it online.

Krystle pursed her lips hard. Her face flushed in pink, fighting hard against laughter. She responded in a whisper, "Ben Wa balls - A sex toy." Krystle could easily make a guess that Anya had those balls inside her just by looking at the alluring blush on her cheeks.

Anya flushed despite guessing it could be some kind of sex toy. She gritted her teeth when she felt the balls move. She also regretted threatening Alvin with celibacy because he was creatively punishing her for that. 

Krystle continued when she was able to speak without bursting into laughter, "Annie, I'm starting to like this husband of yours." She teased Anya while watching Alvin put Jia on the floor and walk towards them with an apathetic look.

Passing the champagne bottle to Alvin, Krystle gave a heads-up to Anya in a whisper, "The more you move, the harder the stimulation."

Anya: 😳

She had thought holding in the balls was a punishment. She tried to hold Krystle to ask if the balls would vibrate but Krystle slipped her hands. Krystle was the one who introduced her to a dildo and vibrator. Ben Wa balls were a new thing to her.

Alvin grazed the back of his fingers over her cheek as he reminded her, "Honey, you wanted distraction, remember."

Anya: 🥲

He was right, she asked him to keep her distracted. Because there was more than an hour for the party, Catalina forced her to rest in the bedroom.

But Anya didn't need the rest when her mind was buzzing with Arcane. She wanted something to keep her mind busy else she might end up doing what Jason had warned her not to do.

When Alvin entered the bedroom, she had desperately but innocently asked him to keep her distracted with something, keep her mind busy, and stop her from entering her lab.

Well, Alvin did keep her busy for an hour to even think of breathing. Then he added two tiny balls inside her to wreak havoc on her calmness.

"Dirty Old Man." Anya chided him but stood by him when he popped the champagne, toasted the first drink for her, and began the party.

He kissed the side of her forehead as he whispered, "It's just the beginning, Sweetheart." Then he made space for others to meet his wife.

Half an hour had passed smoothly. After talking with a few, Alvin realized Anya hadn't moved much from her position and her expression was too peaceful.

She didn't even know what Ben Wa Balls were, so how did she get to know about it? 

His eyes fell on Loudmouth and recalled she was whispering something to his wife. Thus it was an easy guess what they must have spoken.

Oversmart, shameless wife is tackling the punishment.

How could he let his punishment go in vain?

A wicked smile graced his face when he met Anya's smirk. Well, she was too naive in his opinion. He signaled Rob and instructed him, "Change the music. Invite Little Donut and me to dance."

Rob accepted the commands and got to work like a loyal assistant.
