Yvette's POV

I woke up feeling a slight bang in my head from the intense fatigue and eye strain from yesterday. Speaking of today, I was already feeling too weak and lazy to get out of bed until Mira came knocking.

"Are you alright? It's daybreak already."

I grumbled while rolling on the bed.

"You must have really stressed out yesterday."

'You have no idea,' I replied in my mind, still mustering enough strength to at least keep my eyes open without closing them.

"It's today, remember? Knox is a

  • Bargain: An Object of Desire    Chapter 115

    Yvette's POVIt would be a bloody lie to say that those three words didn't feel like salt to an open wound.Mira was already running towards our direction as well so even if I wanted to protest, I couldn't until we were alone."I'm so sorry, Yvette. I could have looked behind me earlier—""Effective distraction," I reminded her.Except the moment the words left my mouth, I realised it was such a stupid thing to say. Especially considering the fact that Dave was kneeling right next to me.He rose to his feet awkwardly as if sensing more energy being shifted to something else that wasn't him. Well, I couldn't blame his reaction since I was the one who made him feel that way, so I stood up as well and thought of something… anything at all that could quickly change his mind."Can we talk?"Mira's eyes grew wide on hearing that.Her face was literally screaming, 'WTF?!'It was easier to ignore it fo

  • Bargain: An Object of Desire    Chapter 114

    Yvette's POVHe had changed the topic to something lighter after noticing how weary it made me. He also assured me that he wouldn't let things come to that. To be honest, it felt like hearing him say that he was going to betray Knox if he needed to because of me.While it was supposed to be reassuring, it made me feel more like the problem. Well, it was also evidence that whatever was going on between us was working perfectly well, and I had to keep it going at a very beautiful pace so that he would be vulnerable enough to tell me the truth I needed to know so I could leave this villa.Despite all of that, I wasn't planning on doing too much today, save for reading in the garden. Mira did promise to keep me company later on, but I didn't want her to feel the need to rush or anything so… I just stayed out of her sight so she could work at her own pace.My time in the garden was peaceful… It was short-lived though when Knox walked past me and I coul

  • Bargain: An Object of Desire    Chapter 113

    Yvette's POVIt's been more than a week now since the last time I spoke to Knox. I couldn't tell whether he was the one avoiding me or if we genuinely hadn't crossed paths since then. However, I felt free. I moved around whenever I wanted except, I didn't leave the villa.I also made sure to duplicate the document I had threatened Knox with and left the scanned softcopy saved in a drive only I could access.I wasn't constantly checking the news to confirm whether or not Dave had managed to take everything down like he said. Not because I didn't trust he couldn't do it, but I didn't know how to relive the experience of seeing my nudes everywhere.Instead, I focused on trying to build a relationship with him. There was no doubt he felt something in his heart for me, but I knew his loyalty towards Knox would be extremely hard to break through. That was why I made sure to move slowly, not because I had developed a bit of Christopher's syndrome— using

  • Bargain: An Object of Desire    Chapter 112

    Yvette's POVI didn't realise how much rage I had stored up for him until I saw his face. Clearly, his trust had gone from 5 out of ten to zero for him to want to return after leaving such a bombshell without informing anybody.God!Even the audacity he spoke with was so disgusting, I couldn't bear to spare him a second glance. For that reason, I turned towards Dave. He studied the expression on my face calmly without saying a word before stepping backwards.I wasn't sure the reason why until I heard footsteps approaching— Knox's."What do you think you're doing, Yvette? And what are you letting her do to you, Dave?!""It's not what you think."Those were the first words he'd spoken since Knox showed up.With that, he stepped forward to leave but I held him back. I wasn't exactly sure why… I just knew I didn't want to be alone with Knox.Speaking of whom, his gaze fell on my hand holding Dave's before h

  • Bargain: An Object of Desire    Chapter 111

    Knox's POVI couldn't bring myself to go home after the conference so Yolanda took me in and insisted that I stay until I was ready to go home.She had ensured not to judge me harshly after I explained everything either, but she refused to excuse what I did. To be honest, her choice to call me out on sending those clips to the media and letting Yvette's honour get dragged through the mud was the reason I couldn't go back.She had been right. I was no different from Christopher when I made that decision and she'd never forget that I did that to her."You can't keep running away from home, Knox. A legal case has been opened against Christopher and… you have to get your shit together at least to an extent before showing up in court soon.""I could always use a representative," I sighed, emptying another glass of liquor.I forgot to mention. Yolanda had gotten so tired of asking me to stop drinking, to the point where she hid everyth

  • Bargain: An Object of Desire    Chapter 110

    Yvette's POVJust as I decided last night, I followed everything she suggested, because I needed to find my way forward and because I wanted her to believe that her efforts were sincerely paying off. The other thing about spending time with her throughout today was the fact that I had been reminded how peaceful my life was before Knox. There was hope that I could get it back and that Knox wasn't worth being the factor holding me back.I also had the opportunity to talk about my mum… to confirm whether there was anything else, no matter how small or irrelevant the information was about my mum, but she seemed genuinely clueless.I didn't give up though, in fact, hearing Mira always bring Dave up subtly gave me confidence that unlike Mira, he'd never be clueless. Besides, if it were possible for anyone to have access to anyone's mind, Dave would have all the access to Knox and likewise.I made my way to anywhere I thought I'd find Dave.In case you're wondering, yes. I no longer gave a d
