CHAPTER 6: PROPOSED EXCHANGE

—If you want me to apologize, tell me what you asked the bony man for. —Whatever I asked Michael has nothing to do with you, don't worry, and I don't expect your apology, I already know you're a narcissist who doesn't take responsibility for his actions.

Caspian, furious at the comment Sara had made, took a step back and then looked at him again. —I'm sorry, Sara, I didn't mean to hit you.

With her mouth open, Sara stared at him and it was the first time he called her by her name. She didn't expect him to apologize in fact, his apology, it seemed sincere for a minute it felt good until. He said the following.

—But you must admit that it's your fault for getting on my nerves. And, therefore, you must take responsibility. —What? —Hold me accountable for what? —You ruined my time with Sabrina. So instead of Sabrina, it'll be your turn to please me. And since you're my wife, I don't think you'll have a problem. —Excuse me, Mr. Hilton I think I misheard, I'm not your wife. Yesterday 15 minutes after I signed the marriage certificate, I signed the divorce certificate. Remember? so legally I'm not your wife.

—That's right, you signed the divorce agreement. However, my secretary has not submitted it to the registrar. Therefore, you are still legally my wife. —What, why haven't you delivered the divorce certificate? It has been 3 days since I signed that certificate. You should already be registered because you haven't delivered it.

—I plan to deliver at the end of the month, maybe by that time, you will have regretted giving up the assets you are entitled to. But seeing your reaction that you are in a hurry to divorce me, I wonder why. —There is no reason. I'm only divorcing you because you wanted a divorce and I'm not here to fight about it. She says this last thing looking away.

—Yes, that's the reason. I'm not interested in getting a divorce anymore. —Well, I am interested in getting a divorce, you are going to deliver those documents right now, call your secretary and have him deliver it to the civil registry.

—If you want, I'll deliver it right now, but in exchange for something. —What do you want, Caspian?  —How did I tell you that day what your price is? —I see it's the divorce certificate, if you want a divorce, sleep with me. —You're insane. I understand you have a different woman almost every day. Find yourself Erika, Sabrina, I think you have one so Nicole too. any of them can please you better than I would please you. I don't want to sleep with you, find another price.

—Too bad. It's that or nothing, in fact, I already sent a message to my secretary telling him not to hand over the minutes. If you don't sleep with me, you'll be tied to me until the end of your days. He says this last with a smirk, while looking straight into her eyes. he added

I can tell you're so angry, if looks could kill I'd be dead by now. I like your look, Sara maybe the two of us are not so different. You, a neighborhood opportunist slut and me, a perverted, depraved womanizer, don't we make a great couple.

—I'm not going to sleep with you, you heard me. —And I'm not going to give you a divorce. Do you understand? Saying this, he got up from his chair. And left the room.

After a moment Michael came in and when he saw Sara's face, he got scared. —I don't know what happened, but I'm telling you right now, I'm not informed. I am not informed. —Of course you are not informed about this because this is personal, Michael. —What happened? You can tell. —Sorry, my husband didn't file for divorce legally, I'm still married. And what frustrates me is that now he doesn't want a divorce. —Oh, the young master already fell in love? That was quick.

Sara picked up a piece of paper from the desk next to her bed. She crumpled it up and threw it in Michael's face. —Why?  —He's doing this to piss me off. He wants to annoy me. —Well, if that's all it is, he's just going to get bored and give you a divorce later, I don't see the problem. —The problem is, in order for me to divorce him, I have to have sex with him. I must have sex with that narcissist who only cares about his pleasure.

—Well, you have a month to prepare yourself psychologically. Remember at the end of the month, in addition to officially launching the Artificial Intelligence Technology brands. They would also be publicizing your ability as an investor and everyone will know that you are the founder and owner of the largest high—end technology investment companies in the country. Right now your parents handle that as if you were a simple manager. But only the insiders know who they are. What if the young teacher finds out about all that? There is yes, he won't give you a divorce, he will see the opportunity to increase his profits if he stays married to you and as I understand, Mr. Caspian your husband, is a money lover a full fledged capitalist.

So the only solution I see is to give him your body in exchange for your freedom before the end of the month.

—Damn it. What did I do? —To back out of the divorce? —Who knows?

—Michael, you're not helping me. —But I told you, sleep with him. —You're not a big deal. It's no big deal, at least you're a virgin. Sara's face blushed as soon as she said that word. —No way, are you kidding? —Young master Caspian, he's lucky, does he even know it.

—Michael. Shut up. I need to think. And no, he doesn't. He thinks I'm an opportunistic tramp. Why does he think you're an opportunistic tramp? You haven't given him a reason. On the other hand, you're right to call him a womanizer. Everyone knows that he changes women like he changes underpants.

—The day I was hospitalized was a few hours after the ceremony, well, during that time. Sabrina, the woman I had taken to the reception, showed up at the house. And she started groping him, sticking her tongue in his mouth. They sat on the furniture. And they almost had sex. I didn't know what to do, so I grabbed the first magazine I could find and started reading. I was immersed in the finance section and I hadn't noticed when he had sat down in front of me, except that one of the maids had brought me a snack. Just the thought that they were about to get intimate on the furniture makes me blush at the disrespect and thoughtlessness on their part.

—What? They were about to have sex in front of your face and now he doesn't want to give you a divorce, how cynical, depraved he must be to do that, no Sara you have every right to call him trash, or even scum don't let him, he doesn't deserve you there must be something else he wants besides your body, in exchange for the divorce.

—I can't think of anything, now you understand why I'm desperate I was fine until this morning, as he had filed for divorce I took it for granted that he had already handed it in, I trusted him.

—Don't worry Sara we will find a solution that doesn't include having to sacrifice you, so you calm down. —I doubt very much that we will find another solution. I will still leave this until the last moment, if in case the last day comes and we haven't found another option. I'll sleep with the man. Although I would love to have given my first time to a person who really deserved it.

—Come on, cheer up, I will do my best to find a solution on my side. Sara will you tell your parents about this situation. —I don't want to worry them. They might get angry. And if this reaches Mr. Peter's ears, as we haven't divorced yet Mr. Peter can intercede, then it would be bad.

—Look, first let's focus on fixing the business problem and the Wall Street operation. We'll solve your marriage problem later. —Don't worry, Michael, this is my business. I'll take care of it, you take care of the company and try to keep a low profile. The last thing I need is for him to notice.

—as you say, now rest, you look haggard, the worry is going to kill you. —Thank you, Michael, you're like a brother to me.

After a moment Michael left the room. Sara settled on her bed and closed her eyes, she intended to go to sleep. When suddenly her phone rang, it was a message from Caspian, threatening her about telling her father Mr. Peter that they were going through a divorce. If she didn't agree to tell him why she got married.

No doubt about it, this is a trap. He can't tell his father that because he couldn't get a divorce either, Caspian, he sure wants to play with my mind to mess with me. Now the question is, do I pretend to fall for his game or confront him? But if the threat is real? What does Caspian want?

After mulling it over for a few minutes, she decided to answer him.

—If you want to tell him, go ahead. But I will never sleep with you. He took a chance that she would tell him. After a few minutes she texted him back.

—Do you think I don't dare? I can tell my father that, she'll still be my wife and I could sleep with you whenever I feel like it.

Hell, he's a damn cynic. And the worst thing is that he's right, since we're married, it's not considered rape, in fact, they take it as the wife's duty and the husband's right. Damn Macho federal laws.

If I take all this into consideration and what can happen to me later if I stay married to this animal. Giving my purity in exchange for my freedom. Before the month is out. doesn't that sound like such a bad idea? Actually, it's a pretty equitable deal. Although I'm the loser here. Damn it.

I can't rush it though, I have to wait for Michael. As soon as I get the Wall Street thing settled. I'll decide

Thinking like that, he just decided to leave it on hold. If he kept answering, he feared Caspian would change his strategy to a worse one, If he really wants my body he'll get it one way or another. She picked up her phone and put it on silent and went to sleep. She was too tired to even think.

At the mansion

—Damn it, she has the nerve not to answer me, the smug little tramp. —Brother, don't you think you're obfuscating unnecessarily? He seems obsessed. —I'm not obfuscated, much less obsessed. It's just that it irritates me that she doesn't answer me. —Who knows, maybe she didn't see the message, she went to sleep. —She saw the message and the two confirmation hooks appear. —So, she doesn't want to answer you? It seems that the threat didn't turn out as you expected. Caspian, what do you expect from Sara? What do you want?

At that moment, Caspian remained silent, staring at the screen of his cell phone. The truth is that even he didn't know what he wanted. He was just annoying her, it's quite a pleasant feeling to do so, although he didn't know why he was doing it. Every time he annoyed her and she reacted. She felt that he cared about her. That gave him an indescribable feeling, a drug no doubt, but he couldn't tell Jack that.

—I don't really expect anything, I just like to tease her. Anyway, we'll be divorced by the end of the month. —So you're going to get divorced without sleeping with her? —Jack, you know very well that I don't like to force women to sleep with me. They do it of their own free will.

—So why did you tell her she had to sleep with you if she wanted a divorce? I really don't understand you, brother. —I said it on impulse, in a moment of anger. She was desperate, because she was going to deliver the divorce papers to the civil registry.

That's strange because a low—income woman would be in a hurry to divorce a millionaire. Is she stupid or retarded? —I think something else, but I don't know. And my father doesn't say anything either. I've asked him several times why he forced me to marry her. He only answers me later, you'll thank me.

—Well, maybe your father saw something that you haven't seen yet, the best way to discover that something would be to get to know her better. —And how do you recommend that I go to meet her? —I don't know, try to be nice to her. You have a lot of women in a line waiting for you. And you can't be nice to her, I thought you had experience in this.

—I don't have experience treating women nicely. I usually treat them however I feel like it at the time, depending on how I'm feeling. And when I get bored I just abandon them.

—If you are like that, how come you have a huge line of women, don't those women have no head or dignity? —All of them only please me because they want to and I want to. In return I give them whatever they want. I have never had a problem with women making that kind of unspoken agreement. They all know that what I want is sex and I know that what they want is money, jewelry, fame. And that's what I provide for them.

—Well, if you know what women want. Why don't you give Sara what she wants. —in exchange for what, if I give something I always want something in return. —Look, let's do this, if she were in front of you, and she would ask you what you want, what would you answer her? —I already told you that I don't really expect anything from her. —But you won't give her a divorce without something in return. —It's my nature. —So you'll go on with the theme that you want her to sleep with you? —she's a woman of no means, she comes from a poor family. Her father works as a simple manager of a multi—million dollar company. what can she offer me if not her body? I'm making it easy for her in fact. —what if she doesn't want to give you her body because she's still pure? —Have you listened to yourself, Jack? —Sara's 26. Sara's 26. What are the odds she's still a virgin? Most women lose their virginity before they're 20. Most women lose their virginity by the time they're 23. And I know, because every slut that's ever passed through my bed. They have confessed to me the age at which they lost their purity. And most of them are no older than 23.

—How many women have you had in bed? Two hundred and twenty—six. Not only locals but foreigners, I take advantage of trips abroad to pick up a few bitches.

—You're an idol, brother. And you treat them all so badly. —I told you, I treat them depending on my mood. And I've never forced a woman to sleep with me, they're the ones who get into my bed.

—Well, it seems that Sara is the first woman who doesn't want anything to do with you, she doesn't even want to get into your bed. What she wants is a divorce. Tell me what Sara would have to do to make you want to divorce her. Without asking her for anything.

—infidelity. —Excuse me, she can't be unfaithful if you don't feel anything for her and she doesn't feel anything for you, — We are married, we have to respect the vows. At least until we get divorced. If that happens. —But you don't respect your vows. I heard that you brought Sabrina into the house on the day of the marriage. —Yes, I brought her in and I was about to have sex with her, until she showed up. —I couldn't go on. I couldn't continue. —Why, before you didn't care who saw you, you could even have sex in front of your father, and you didn't give a damn. what changed?

—I want to know too. At that moment Caspian took his cell phone and noticing that Sara hadn't answered him yet, he got annoyed, he was getting desperate.

—Excuse me, Jack. I have to go. —Okay, but when you finally get bored of Sara, tell me, I really like those legs, I'd like to try them. Hearing that comment from Jack, Caspian felt angry, but he preferred to hide it. I shouldn't mind.

Leaving the mansion he went to the parking lot, took a BMW he had and drove it in the direction of the hospital.
