もっと見るI blinked as the sunshine dazzled my eyes. Oh God, I really don't want to wake up because all parts of my body feel so sore like I just ran a marathon last night and also my head is really sore and dizzy like I've just been hit by ten bricks.
Groaning, without opening my eyes, I pulled the blanket to cover my naked body which was exposed to the cold air. Coiled by my side, I began to sink my consciousness back into the dream. But.....
Wait.
Naked?
Sunshine?
First—naked, I never sleep naked. I always wear a thick hoodie, and knee-length pants and then curl up comfortably under my blanket which is neither too thin nor too thick, which has accompanied me since my Junior High School days. And of course I can't possibly take off my regular bedtime clothes just because it's hot at night because I've never been hot.
Second—sunshine. My room is a room full of walls and two wide glass windows which I always close with thick curtains so that the morning sun will not enter and disturb the sound sleep I have.
Then, what is this?
I raised my half body, opened my eyes that were still tightly attached.
The scene in front of me was a strange thing.
Really weird.
A large white king size bed, a wide glass wall in front that reveals the snow that has fallen on Seattle, and some of the luxury items that fill this place.
I gaped, sat up, pulled the blanket under my armpits and scanned the room quickly.
My heart was beating hard, my dizzy head was getting dizzy, especially when I saw how I looked now. A sense of shock overtook me, before the hot and inappropriate memories I never thought I'd feel, invade my recovered senses.
'"You didn't disappoint me."'
'"Oh, you're a virgin?"'
'"Give it to me, and you won't regret it,"'
'"It will hurt for a while, then you will feel good, kitten."'
'"Narrow,"'
"Shit uh."
I screamed when sound of the cursed voice from a handsome and beautiful man playing sweetly in my head, spinning around like the voice of a porn star which is very, very disgusting at this time.
Then, what did I do last night? I'm no different from a porn star, I'm even like an obedient and thirsty bitch for a pleasures that I've never tasted.
Shit.
Holy...
Fuck.
I put my hands on the sides of my head, looked down, then cried like I was a child when I found caterpillars in my hair.
I fucked up.
Well, it's not that I'm a believer with no-sex before marriage. In the past, I wanted sex, a first experience, with my ex. But before that happened I was already distant and scared. That's what makes every boy leave me and prefer other women. They say I'm a sucker and a coward.
I have no problem with that and choose to give up my virginity later with a man that I love and give a beautiful first experience for me. And, now....
Damn it.
I fucked up.
That Princess imagination was fucked up, because I didn't sleep with the man of my dreams or the man that I want, but with a man I didn't recognize.
It's even worse because I'm drunk.
That handsome, hot and beautiful man.
Even in an unconscious state, I can still see how beautiful he is, how hot he is, how handsome he is, and how the hardness of his body makes me scream with a pleasure.
Nothing was soft last night. However, it was hot and passionate like us devouring each other. Erotic as well as rude so it affects me until now. There was something wet there, but the memory of the sudden taste faded to be replaced by a feeling of dread which made my stomach hurt.
What if he was a gigolo? Don't they have to look so handsome in order to satisfy women's eyes? What if he's a predator who intentionally puts anything in my drink to knock me out and then takes advantage?
Worse yet, what if he has HIV/AIDS and transmits it to me?
I shook my head, erasing it. I have to meet him and talk about last night. I worry if what I fear is the truth.
I shuffled to the edge of the bed and found my phone on the nightstand, I took it, but something on the sofa table, not far from the bed, caught my attention.
A goody bag that says a famous and most expensive clothing brand in the world is here. I wrapped myself in the blanket and then got out of bed. Grimacing as the sting between my thighs felt, I limped towards it.
Raising an eyebrow, I gaped when not only the most expensive brand of clothing was here, but there was also a check lying beside it.
The thing that struck me next was that this check was worth a million dollars.
On behalf of R.M
I blinked many times and saw the value on the check because I thought that my two beautiful eyes had started to get myopic and damaged but in fact they weren't.
One million dollars.
ONE FUCKING MILLION DOLLARS.
Which, damn it, is a lot of money. And I need to work for seventy years to earn this amount of money. Which means this guy isn't a gigolo, what a gigolo is going to do is steal my wallet and phone.
While he gave me money.
He must be very generous and kind. Maybe he feels guilty? I have to find him and talk about all of this.
Recovering from my shock, I read the note pinned to the goodybag..
Read it with furrowed brows to understand his words because my brain is still not recovering from the drunken state and after sleep.
'Hello, Amanda. Last night's sex was so fun and beautiful, you capable to make me come twice. I really salute you even though you just give me your virginity. And as a respect for your amazing pussy, I present this check and luxury outfit to you.
If you want more checks and fancy stuff, just call me.
With honry
RM'
Fuck.
Swearing came out as anger welled up and heated up in my chest, swirling like disgusting food that I had swallowed.
Does he think I'm the bitch who wants all of this?
Does he think I'm a cheap woman who values my virginity with money?
Does he hink a woman like me wants his money and luxury goods?
Well, I do want all of this, but not in this way. He made me look like a goddamn bitch.
Fuck.
That damn bastard.
Chuckling cynically, picking up the check, I tore it openly with a furious roar escaping my lips.
I'm gonna curse his penis can't hard to anyone, and he will die of his rusty penis so the mourners will laugh instead of mourning over his grave.
I swear if I ever see him again, I'll kick his cocky head with my heels.
Goddams fucker.
Katherine's POV “What's the catch?" I ask Ryan after we settle in a nearby restaurant to talk. I refuse to talk in his car, scared he'd take me out of my own will, since I know him to be a man who gets whatever he wants with whatever means possible. His disdain for the restaurant we are in is obviously written all over his face. He slowly pivots his head towards me, the disgust in his face was palpable and charming at the same time. “This isn't a good place to talk about these things.” I take a look at the restaurant myself, but I don't see anything wrong with the locals having a native meal, and savouring every bite within discussions. And the noise, it's mild enough to hear Ryan's complaints. I shrug, “It was the nearest place to have a quick discussion.” His expression is stern, "Really? I can barely concentrate with all…these.” he gestures to the crowd with his hands. He leaned closer, "We could drive somewhere more…private.” "I'm not driving a mile away just to have a
Katherine's POVThis was the end game. Worse had come to worst, and I didn’t need anyone to tell me—I was the fucking loser in this game. But it felt like more than just a game—I had lost everything. The company—my inheritance—my supposed shot at happiness. I’d lost my peace of mind because there was a raging storm in my head, and the only way I’d found a little quiet was by locking myself in ever since it happened.Willow’s Company, solidly built by my parents for decades, was officially Raynall’s now. That son of a bitch had kicked me out after showing me undeniable proof that he now legally owned it.I closed my eyes tightly and let the tears fall—down my cheeks and into my ears. I lay flat on the bed, my gaze fixed on the ceiling. I was in my bedroom at Elle's apartment. It was dimly lit, and my phone kept ringing. I didn’t care who it was—I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to speak to anyone. That included Ryan.Suddenly, there was a knock—Elle again. She’d been trying to get me
Ryan's POV I had single handedly written the rules in the contract to my taste. And one of the rules was. No strings attached, no physical contact in this fake contract Marriage but here I was, fucking her like I did last time. There's no going back, I'm fucking her hard and she's moaning from real pleasure this time. I love the way she calls out my name, with grave passion, better than the other women have ever moaned my name. Her eyes are closed but I'm watching her and thrusting myself, in and out of her. She's beautiful. That's all I could think of at that moment. Then I finally pull out. We both gasp for air, lying side by side each other. “We just broke a rule in the contract.” She tells me, instead of putting the blame on just me who kissed her first. “I'm aware.” I stared into her hazel eyes. She has lovely eyes. But I look away because something feels weird within me whenever I look at her. I hate the feeling. “We should never do this again.” She says, staring at no
Katherine's POVDinner with Ryan's grandfather had unexpectedly gone smoothly… except that he had almost given me a heart attack with his numerous, bulging questions and that he wants Ryan and me to stay the night.I objected to the idea of staying over, but Ryan thinks his grandfather is up to something, and to overcome his grandfather's trap, we had to act like lovers—even behind closed doors.Ryan and I had no choice but to sleep in the same room, like real couples do. I walk around the room, anxious after sending Elle a text that I was spending the night at Ryan's house.She replies to the text immediately, asking what would happen to my scheduled appointment to see Raynall tomorrow. But I'm clueless on my end.Raynall had upgraded from being my little orphan cousin to becoming a big shot—and the only reason he's a big shot is because my parents gave him the privilege to become one.It took me weeks to finalize an appointment with him, even though I was family. He had cut everyone
Katherine's POVThe last thing I wanted to do was come to a club and sit at the bar while every opposite sex in the room stared at me like I was some sweet cake they were all competing to grab with any chance they got.One of the men finally found the courage to approach me and Elle. His eyes didn'
Ryan's POVThe iPad hit my desk with quite a raging force, my grandfather towered over me, his expression clammed with anger and disappointment.“Shit!” I muttered as I looked down and watched a video of me displayed on the screen.My day had only begun but I had gotten into an accident on my way h

Katherine's POV“I'm done, Reynold. Let's get a divorce.” I had stopped Reynold before he went out to work, handing over the paper in my hand. It was about time.
