"Why do you think so?" Darlington asked. His voice was flat, almost as if the news didn't surprise him at all. He took a slow sip of his beer, his eyes fixed on the city lights outside his window.

  • The Seduction Contract    chapter 17

    "Why do you think so?" Darlington asked. His voice was flat, almost as if the news didn't surprise him at all. He took a slow sip of his beer, his eyes fixed on the city lights outside his window. "Sir, do you remember that night at the Blue Lantern Casino two years ago?" Kelvin asked, stepping into the light. "You were in the VIP section, and there was a dancer—the one who managed to lift your black bank card right out of your pocket. It had access to your private offshore accounts. We spent months trying to track her down, but she vanished into thin air. We couldn't find a single lead." Darlington’s hand tightened around his bottle. He remembered. It was the only time in his life someone had actually outsmarted him. "When was this?" "Two years ago, sir," Kelvin replied firmly. "I’ve cross-referenced the facial recognition from the old security tapes with the girl sleeping in the guest room. It’s her, sir. Freya Goodwill is the thief who robbed you." A heavy silence filled the ro

    The last thing Freya heard before the world turned black was the thunderous sound of Darlington’s voice. "Fries!" he had roared, his fists hammering against the wood like a drumbeat. She had called his name—a weak, broken whisper that barely left her throat—before her knees gave out. As the darkness swallowed her, Freya wasn't in a VIP bathroom anymore. She was five years old again. The trauma of her childhood came rushing back like a flood. Years ago, her parents were always traveling in and out of the United States for their high-flying jobs. They left her behind with a nanny who had a heart of stone. The nanny hated Freya; she saw the little girl as a burden that kept her from her boyfriend. Every night, the nanny would dress up to go out, and every night, Freya would cling to her skirt, sobbing. "Please don't leave me! Please don't lock the door!" Freya would beg, her tiny voice cracking. But the nanny never listened. She would shove the little girl back into the room and turn

    "Where the hell are you, Fries?" Darlington muttered coldly, flicking his wrist to check his expensive watch. It had been thirty minutes since Freya walked away toward the restrooms. Where did she go? Did she get lost in this massive hall? He knew she could be problematic and sometimes behaved like a stubborn child, but he didn't expect her to be this disrespectful. He needed her tonight. This gala was his chance to show his "girlfriend" to the public and his prying family so the rumors about him could finally die. And now, at the perfect moment, she had vanished. The reporters were starting to close in on him, their cameras flashing like strobe lights, but he ignored them. He was stressed, and he knew that if he walked out now, the headlines tomorrow would be a disaster. He subtly signaled to Kelvin. In high-profile events like this, Darlington didn’t like his security detail hovering over him; they stood at the edges of the room, blending into the shadows while keeping their lead

    "AHH! My knee! My knee is hurting, babe!" Cynthia suddenly shrieked, her voice cutting through the elegant music of the ballroom. Michael rushed to her side, his eyes wide with worry. Even though Cynthia hated Freya with every fiber of her being, she knew she couldn't let Michael cause a massive scene here. The room was filled with elite billionaires and powerful investors—the very people Michael was trying to impress so he could sell his firm’s latest shares and secure his promotion. Michael knelt down to pick Cynthia up. "Are you hurt, babe? What happened?" "Yes, Michael... it hurts so much," Cynthia whined, leaning her weight into him. She shot a wicked look at Freya. "I don't know why, but she just saw me and tried to attack me! She’s clearly jealous because I stole you from her. If it wasn't for you being here, she would have badly hurt me!" Freya stood there, her mouth hanging open in shock. She was still trying to process the sheer boldness of the lie. "Seriously? You’re ac

    "Wow... this place is absolutely beautiful," Freya whispered. Her eyes went wide as she stepped into the giant, golden hall. The lights were bright, the music was soft, and everything looked like it cost a fortune. She felt small in such a big place, but then she felt a warm presence beside her. Darlington leaned down until his lips were right against her ear. His voice was a low, dark whisper that made her skin tingle. "Remember," he said firmly. "All you have to do is pretend that we are deeply in love. Do not get drunk tonight. And do not go wandering off too far. I am a busy man, and I might not have the energy or the strength to come baby-sitting you if you get into trouble." Freya looked up at him and rolled her eyes. "Actually, Mr. Knight, I think I am the one baby-sitting you," she whispered back with a smirk. But she didn't have time to say anything else. Suddenly, the quiet was gone. A huge crowd of reporters and paparazzi rushed toward them like a wave. Microphones were

    WHAT??" Freya shouted. She quickly rubbed her hand across her mouth to clean it, feeling embarrassed. "Don’t flatter yourself! I am not looking at you," she said quickly, trying to look away. Darlington didn't say a word. He grabbed a towel and tied it around his waist. He wasn't wearing a shirt, which showed off his strong, hot chest and his six-pack muscles. He started walking toward her. Freya felt her heart beat faster, and she started stepping backward. She kept moving until her back hit the hard, cold wall. Darlington didn't stop. He leaned in very close until his face was just inches from hers. "What were you doing last night?" he asked in a deep, serious voice. Freya let out a nervous laugh. "What was I doing?" she asked, acting like she had no idea. "You were trying to seduce me last night," he replied firmly. He looked her right in the eyes, waiting for her to admit it. "Seduce you??" she said, making a confused face as if she didn't even understand the word. "Ye

    The air in the car turned freezing the moment the guard spoke. Darlington didn't panic; instead, he became deathly still. It was like his soul had left his body and been replaced by a cold, calculating machine. "Are the rest of the men still intact?" Darlington asked. His voice was a low, dangerou

    Freya stood very still. She did not move a muscle as she stared down at the paper on the Mr grant palms in front of her. She looked at the ink and the lines for a long time. Her mind was racing, and she thought about every choice she had. After thinking for what felt like hours, she whispered to he

    "What do you think you're doing?" Darlington asked, his voice a low rumble. He reached down and quietly lifted Freya up from where she was stumbling. He could smell the sharp scent of alcohol on her breath; he knew she was only acting this bold because she was drunk. Still, her words caught him o

    "Who are you, and how the fuck did you get into my house?" Michael asked, his voice trembling even though he was trying to sound tough. He glared at the tall stranger standing in his living room, but as Darlington took a step closer, Michael’s bravado started to melt. "I said... leave her alone,"
