9: You will work for me

KATHY

I was in the hospital room with Nana praying for her to wake up and regretting my actions. I should have stopped when she asked us to but I was too blinded by anger.

The doctor came into the office doing their regular thing but I was confused. They said they wouldn't commence treatment until all the bills had been paid.

Did they have a change of heart seeing that she was an older woman?

"Thank you so much for treating my grandmother, I'll balance up the bills as soon as I possibly can" I thanked with gratitude.

The doctor looked at me confused.

"All the bills has been paid for" he said.

What did he mean all the bills had been paid for?

"I don't understand"

I didn't pay the bill. Couldn't. Even with my salary I still couldn't save much because of Nana's constant medicine.

Iris didn't even care about Nana's health, I had to do everything myself. And after putting Nana in this state she ran away again. Like she always did.

I took out all my savings and my insurance covered part of it but not all.

"If it wasn't you then someone paid all the bills" the doctor confirmed.

"Who paid the bills?" I asked, still confused.

It couldn't have been Iris.

The doctor just shook his head.

I didn't have anyone who would have done that. Gabriella has been MIA for some days now, I haven't been able to reach her.

I only told one person about it. Then it clicked.

Viktor?

Could it have been him?

No. No. I didn't even tell him what the "problem" was yesterday. He couldn't have known.

But he's the only suspect I have in mind and the only way to find out is to find him.

Nana was still not awake yet so I left the hospital, went home and took a shower finally.

I felt better from the cold shower and knowing that Nana would be treated properly.

After getting dressed, I got into my car. Luckily for me I looked at the name of the building that morning when I ran out of it.

I needed to see Viktor and ask him if he sort the bills.

That's the only reason I needed to see him, nothing else.

I drove to the building but they wouldn't let me go up to the penthouse even after I showed them that I was with the police force.

So I went back to my car, ready to leave.

'Why did I even make such an impulsive decision to come to this building?'

'What were the odds that he was even going to be here when this wasn't his main house?'

Before I could lament further I saw him coming out of the building with two body guards, one of which I remembered.

They all wore black.

"Sheesh. Did somebody die?" I mumbled to myself.

I quickly jumped out of the car and headed straight for Viktor.

The two guards jumped in front of him, shielding him with both their guns pointing towards me.

I froze and put both hands in the air but he waved them off.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Looking for you" I responded almost immediately.

A few minutes later we were up at the penthouse. On our way up I flipped my middle fingers at the receptionist who told me I couldn't go up to the penthouse earlier.

"Did you pay my Nana's hospital bills?" I asked without hesitation.

"Yes" he replied directly.

He didn't even lie. Didn't bat an eye.

"You can't just..." I tried to defend but he cut me off.

"I already paid for it Katherine" he said smoothly.

"That's not how this works Viktor"

"Then how does it work Katherine?"

I took in a deep breath and calmed myself down. I should be thanking him not fighting him.

"Thank you" I said.

I was embarrassed but I wasn't allowed to feel embarrassed when it came to my Nana, so I swallowed my ego.

"You're welcome" he said surprisingly.

"I will pay you back every cent"

"I don't doubt that" he smirked, his eyes roaming over my body.

I folded my hands protectively.

"You have a vulgar mind Katherine" he suddenly said and my cheeks burned.

I knew they had turned red from embarrassment.

A flash of memory came to my head immediately.

His lips on mine.

His hands on my body.

How I begged him to fuck me.

Oh no!

Everything came rushing back in. All the memory of that night. And my head hurt.

"Ah" I winced bending down.

"Are you okay?" He asked but got no reply.

He carried me off the floor and placed me on the bed and walked out of the room. A minute later he walked back into the room with aspirin and a glass of water.

I took the medicine without fighting him.

My brain loved protecting me sometimes. It shoves away memories I wouldn't want to remember and the drug Iris had given me must have contributed to me completely forgetting about a few nights ago.

Me being back at the penthouse must have stired up these memories.

Viktor wasn't lying.

I asked for it and he gave it to me just the way I wanted it. The thought of that alone sent heat to my pussy.

After about 20 minutes the migraine had subsided and Viktor was still there, sitting on the couch watching me. He was Watching me the way a father would watch his daughter sleep.

I shrugged down whatever feelings was stiring up in my stomach and went straight to our previous conversation.

"How do you want me to pay you back? I could get a part time job" I said slowly.

"You will work for me" he said and my eyes widened.

"What do you mean?"

"My niece just recently came to America and her English isn't very good"

His niece. He must be talking about the little girl. Anya.

"I want you to be her tutor."
