Amberleigh made herself scarce during Dr. Gainey’s visit that morning. And it seemed Leo was taking his job of babysitting Grayson’s ass very seriously. He’d essentially grounded the billionaire to his room. He was kind enough to give Amber reports throughout the day where Grayson was concerned. Macho guy had actually drank all that rancid shake to spite the chef and consumed one of those nasty duck eggs. But he did gag and throw up in his mouth a bit afterwards, according to Leo, and there was a certain satisfaction in that for fucking sure.Amberleigh wasn’t even sure how to describe the lunch Leo prepared for him, but it seemed to be tofu and grass, as Grayson hated Tofu. She’d overheard him bitching about it to Leo her first morning here. But she wasn’t giving him any pity. He should have taken better care of himself like eating and sleeping, which should have seemed like a fucking no brainer.Just as promised, Leo pulled himself away from his charge that afternoon to take Amber

Grayson gave Amberleigh a side eye as she got on the adjoining treadmill. She couldn’t help but glance at his numbers and the man could fucking run and do it well. He was clocking in at ten miles an hour and had covered three miles in twenty minutes. Barely broken much of a sweat either. The boy had stamina and could probably go like the energizer bunny in the sack. If he actually wanted to fuck the girl with her legs spread before him anyway. He could do so many things well, too bad he was a shit person. But most of the pretty ones were.He’d also burned over four hundred calories. Leo wouldn’t be pleased at all. The Godwin was supposed to be resting, hydrating, and getting proper nutrition. This certainly wouldn’t do. She and Leo were in this pact to torture Grayson together after all.The gym had a nice size flat screen mounted on the wall, designed that way intentionally, as it was a break in nothing but glass along the otherwise windowed space. It offered a fantastic view of the

Amberleigh slept in the next day. When she finally did drag her ass towards the kitchen, it was nearing three p.m., and the penthouse had been completely transformed. The party planner Estella and her crew had certainly been busy while Amber had drooled and snored half the day away. The joint first resembled a walk through some creepy ass woods starting at the front door. Tall, real as fuck looking twisted trees bent together to form a thick, canopy beneath which guest would ascend towards the sitting room. Fog machines were strategically hidden inside these foam husks, and when the sun went down, they would add an eerie mist enshrouding the guest’s feet along the path.This twisted road of trees led partygoers directly to the sitting room, which now resembled the front of a dark castle. Like a Goth or vampire’s wet dream come to life behind those black, stone looking doors. The room had really come together from the night before. Along with the caged creatures, dragon fountain, and

Amberleigh found it a crying shame that Ivanna and Peach couldn’t stay for the party, as they had several other bookings on this Halloween night. They were gracious enough to help her get into her dress before they left though, as the second piece made it more of a two person job. They both seemed jealous when they found out the gown was an original of Angelique Grimaldi. Then Peach launched into a story about fucking Angelique’s assistant. It seemed Peach always had a story about fucking famous people, or at least someone in their inner circle anyway. Leo had tipped his cousin off the theme of the masquerade was dark fairytale, so Ivanna had planned her makeup according. When Amber glanced at herself in the full length mirror in her room, she legit barely recognized herself. The Spider Queen was alive and well bitches!Her eyes were in smoky shades of grey and black, her cheeks perfectly contoured to give her more definition than God had given her. Ivanna hadn’t bothered with fake l

Apparently, Jackson was now dating Courtney’s sister Valencia. What the fuck were the odds? Amberleigh laughed all the way up to the bar, cutting through the mass of people, while Leo followed. She ordered a double shot of tequila and the bartender looked at her with a raised brow. He wasn’t the only one who seemed to be judging her though.Leo grabbed onto her elbow gently, “Amber, hey are you going to tell me what’s up?”She tipped the bartender and downed the shot quickly. At least she used a cocktail napkin to wipe her mouth afterward instead of the back of her hand. She wasn’t going to be seen as uncultured swine tonight.“I don’t know how much Grayson told you, but that asshole who is dating Courtney’s sister is my ex. The father of my son, who abandoned me while I was knocked up six years ago,” she explained.Leo took a deep breath and turned to the bartender, “I’ll have what she had sir, thanks.”Amber knew she should probably slow down as she’d already had a glass of champagn
