Josh saunter off to Megan’s side and she pulled him down for a kiss.
Audrey swallowed the thick lump in her throat.
She had expected him to be remorseful,even if it was just a little bit.
But instead,they were making out,fervently in a club as if they had been caged before.
Technically,they had been trying to hide their relationship from Audrey and now that it’s been discovered,they were free as a bird to do whatever they wanted.
Audrey blinked back her tears.
It was still very hard to believe that this was the same man who had promised her the world.
“Let’s get out of here.”She turned to leave but Becca stopped her.
“They should be the one leaving.And besides,Tracy reserved this booth that they’re currently been stupid in!”
With that,they moved up to Josh and Megan.
“You two,go find somewhere else to be disgusting.”Tracy ordered.
Megan stood up,furiously.
“What right do you have to ask us to leave?”
“I reserved this booth.”
And then the girls began to argue except Audrey.
She wanted to hide but Tracy and Becca had no plans of backing down.
“Get your cheating asses out of our booth!”Becca yelled.
“Go tell the manager that.”Megan shot back.
“Are you too daft to understand that this booth is already reserved?”
“Isn’t it obvious?She’s too daft to understand anything and that’s why she’s always going after people’s boyfriend.You deserve this sorry excuse of a man.”
“How dare you talk to him like that?!”Megan lashed out and tried to slap Tracy who caught her hand and pushed her away.
The tension mounted as the girls kept cussing at each other.People in the club were watching with rapt attention.A fight was sure to break out any second from now.
Audrey didn’t know what to do.She had only wanted to have fun tonight.
Josh was furious but instead of lashing out on Tracy and Becca,he picked an easy target.
Turning to face Audrey,he yelled;
“Why are you being such a pest?!Following me here to cause a scene.What part ‘I don’t want to be with you’ do you not understand?!”
Audrey was caught off-guard by his words.
Megan being happy that Josh was finally taking sides with her immediately joined in.
“Leave him alone,Audrey!And don’t blame me for taking him away from you.You were a burden for him!I made him happy!”
Becca and Tracy were about to jump in but Audrey held them back.
She’d had enough!
“You two surely have the nerves to ridicule me and please,Josh,stop giving yourself too much credit.I’ll never follow you nor will I fight for you.You’re not worth fighting for!”
“Yeah,just like how I wasn’t worth giving your virginity to?”He sneered.”But I found someone.I found someone who gave me hers because I was worth it.”
Tracy burst out laughing.”Awwn…you’re one of the numerous guys who took Megan’s virginity.”
“Lying slut.”Becca let out.”Just how many guys have you told that lie to?So that’s your strategy.Acting all innocent with them so they would fall for you?”
Audrey shook her head in disbelief.”Josh,so this was about my virginity.If you had felt worthless,you would have told me.You made me think you were okay with us not being intimate.And you had to let Megan fool you.”
More people were watching and pointing at Megan,especially those who knew how promiscuous she was,she felt so embarrassed.
“Josh,let’s just go.”
“Megan never did any of those things people accused her of.Y’all are freaking jealous of her.But I’m sticking by her side because I know her better than anyone.”Josh defended.
And with that,he walked away with Megan.
Audrey sighed,deeply wondering if it was that easy for people to get brainwashed.
“My mood for partying here has been ruined.Let’s just go back home.We could have a small house party there.”Tracy suggested.
“Can I just be alone for a few minutes?”Audrey asked,sadly.
Becca and Tracy nodded.
She slowly walked out of the club and took a deep breath.
“Audrey.”
Hearing that familiar voice,she turned to see Josh walking up to her.
“What is it?”She asked,crossing her arms over her chest.
“I want you to stay away from Megan.”
Audrey was dumbfounded.
Who was this man?
Where was the man she had loved?
How did she waste a year of her life with someone who was this fickle?
She should have seen through him.
“Did you ever loved me?”She probed,curiously.
“I did.I really did at first.And yes,I had told you I was okay with waiting,yes,I had wanted to be your shield to protect you from your family.But you didn’t care about me.”
“I did…”
“No,you didn’t.I was always there whenever you needed me but when I needed you,you would be always caught up in one part time job or the other.You only came to see me when it’s convenient for you.I needed someone who could make time for me.”
“You can’t seriously blame me for that.You know I had to work to take…”
“Take care of your family?I’m sorry,you just have too much baggage,emotionally and financially.Megan’s what I need.”
Audrey glared at him.”Then you shouldn’t have taken this long to tell me that.You shouldn’t have been shagging her behind my back.You shouldn’t have continued acting like you cared about me.And thank God,I found out anyway.I don’t ever want to see you again.”Audrey turned her back on Josh.
She marched back into the club.She wanted to be as far away from him as possible.
Tracy and Becca found her and together they went back to the girls’ apartment.
The girls tried to make sure Audrey had a good time.They joked,laughed,drank,dance and let Audrey cry when she needed to.
************
The ringing of her cellphone woke her up the following morning.
Audrey blindly reached for it and sleepily picked up.
“Hello.”She murmured,her voice hoarse with sleep.
“Audrey,your father…your father is dead.”
“What…what happened to him?!”Audrey panicked.“He had an accident.I just texted you the address of where we are.You need to hurry over now.”Dread filled Audrey.She did not want to believe what she had just been told by Matilda.Her father was dead?Dead?!No.The man might have stopped caring about her but he was still her father.And she could never forget the time in her life when he did care.She was a whirlwind of anxiety and panic as she headed out of the house,barely explaining anything to Becca and Tracy.She hailed down a taxi and headed for the hospital.No.She still wanted this to be a dream.Maybe by the time she gets to the hospital,he would have woken up.She really didn’t want to see his lifeless body.After what seemed like an eternity,she made it to the hospital and rushed in.She found Talia and Matilda at the hospital.“Where?How…where is he?”Audrey asked,shakily.“He was severely injured and he’s in surgery right now.”Audrey blinked.”You mean he’s not dead?”“No.
“Your father?Interesting.”Lucien drawled,darkly.With the look in his eyes,Audrey knew instantly that he wouldn’t let this go,easily.But she still had to try.“I…I don’t even know where to start apologizing.I know the accident must have been traumatic for you and I’m deeply sorry.”“Will your apology fix my car?”She swallowed recalling how expensive his car had looked.She wondered how much it would cost to fix it.Shakily,she asked.”How much…how much damage was made to your car?”“Quite a number.And it would cost nothing less than 400,000 dollars to fix it.”Audrey’s jaw dropped.”Just for fixing?Are you getting a new one?”He laughed.”Do I look like someone who would ride a car of 400,000 dollars?!”She gulped unable to comprehend how much rich people spend on stuff.She was feeling dizzy…she had sold her body to get 100,000.She literally had nothing more to sell.Will anyone buy her soul for 400,000 dollars?She felt so frustrated.“I…Can you give me some time?”She pleaded.”I’ll
Audrey slowly slumped on a chair in the waiting room.Should she just run away and leave her father to his fate?Afterall,he hadn’t been a good father figure to her for years now.Why must she go through all these for him?Deep down,she knew she couldn’t abandon her father.She didn’t have the heart to do that.Her phone buzzed in her pocket and she was pulled out of her jumbled thoughts.She took out her phone and saw Tracy’s name as the caller’s ID.“Hello.”She began,sadly.“Hey…Becca said she saw you running out of the house this morning before I woke up.What happened?”Tears dropped from Audrey’s eyes.“Oh,Tracy…things are bad for me…so bad.”She cried.**************Within an hour,Tracy and Becca were at the hospital to comfort Audrey.Her father just got out of the second surgery and they were staring at his motionless body through the glass opening at the door.They weren’t allowed to go in yet.“He’s going to be fine.”Tracy cooed,pulling Audrey into her arms.Audrey then told
A small gasp escaped Audrey when the figure moved.Fear gripped her and she stepped back towards the door.The figure matched her every step.Menacing slowly towards her.“Help!”She screamed and bolted to escape.She turned around and launched herself at the door.Large arms snatched her by the waist and she crashed into a body.“No!Let go of me!”She struggled.“Will you calm the fuck down!”“Lucien?”Audrey stopped fighting and turned to look at her captor.“Were you expecting someone else?”He teased.Audrey wrenched herself out from his grasp and shoved him in anger.He didn’t move.“I thought someone broke in or something!You…you turned off the light and was standing there looking dangerous.”He laughed.”I like the dark.”“Yeah,you do.”She eyed him.”Just like how dark your heart is.”He stared at her,intensely.”You’re right and I like it dark.That way,no one would come in.”Her eyes were transfixed on his.She tried to understand why he was this complicated.This mean.She couldn’t t
She wanted to stay stiff and not enjoy this but she was more than enjoying having him devour her body.Sinking more of his body weight on her,he molded their bodies together as if they were two pieces of clay becoming one.Pleasure reeled through her as he fucked her,the slap of their skin echoing around them.She was drenched,flooded with arousal.“Oh Damn,I love this pussy.”He grunted,bringing his mouth to her ear.Hot breath fanned over her ear and throat,her muscles quaked,and her nipples hardened even more from his thrust.Releasing his hold on her hip,he pulled out of her and placed her on all fours.He slammed into her again and started fucking her from behind.He grabbed a fistful of her hair and tugged her head backwards.The skin of her scalp screamed,the pain searing through each strand as his grip,tightened.He kept touching her clit from time to time.Her lungs deflated in her chest and her eyes fluttered closed.A tsunami of an orgasm overtook her,pulling her into a deep
Audrey was still in a daze even after he had left.What the hell had just happened?She had signed an absurd contract.She had officially become his toy.There wasn’t time to dwell on that or let it sink in,though.She had classes today and also had to stop in to check on her father.Quickly,she selected some clothes from the hotel room’s closet.Much to her chagrin, they were all high-end designer labels.Sighing,she rifled through the clothing and selected the most causal outfit she could find.It was a simple dress but it still looked overly expensive and she was skeptical about wearing it.“Ugh,I’ll just have to deal with it.”She put on the dress and marveled at how soft the fabric was.She had never worn something so luxurious and so comfortable.She brushed her hair,recalling what Lucien had said,that he preferred it if her hair was longer.Audrey suddenly felt compelled to do something different with her hair.Perhaps,if she could style it differently,then he might grow to like
She would have to thank Lucien for this when she sees him later.With this extra help, her father would be able to recover quickly and she would be able to go to class and work without feeling too drained.As she walked out of the hospital,the driver that had brought her was still waiting.Ugh.Does he have to follow her everywhere?He held open the door for her and she sighed knowing he was just following Lucien’s orders.She also didn’t want to go against his orders so she got into the car.**********For the first time in a long time,Audrey was able to focus in class.For a blissful few hours,she didn’t think of any of the horrible things that had happened to her.She was positively blithe with the world.The lightness in her heart was eclipsed when she saw Josh and Megan canoodling in the hallway.“Oh Josh!”Megan squealed,loudly when she noticed Audrey.”I love it…I love it so much!”She turned around and held her up.Josh clasped a delicate gold necklace around her neck.“Happy seven
“Mmm.”Megan hummed trying not to be affected by Lucien’s words.”I see the two of us becoming more than friends already.”She leaned against him and rubbed her hands down his arms.Audrey felt a sudden urge to shove Megan off and drag Lucien away.She looked over at Josh who was overly agitated.“Megan!”He yelled.When Megan didn’t respond,he turned on Audrey.“Get a hold of your boyfriend?What kind of man are you even dating?He’s trying to steal my girl in your presence!”He fumed.Audrey scoffed.”As if you’re any better.You cheated on me with this slut and made me feel like it was my fault.Now,you’re upset she wants someone else already?!”“At least I didn’t cheat on you this publicly!Look at them,they’re acting as if we aren’t even here!”Josh shouted.”Doesn’t it bother you?”Audrey glanced at Lucien who still wasn’t doing enough to push Megan away.It only made her believe that all men were the same.She shook her head.Josh pulled her towards him,taking her by surprise.“Well, this on
