All Chapters of Bargain: An Object of Desire : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Yvette's POV The feeling of terror pulled me out from whatever state I was in before I snapped my eyes open. I was running out of breath and the terror of what was around me seized my ability to form words. How the hell did I let this happen?! Christopher's clothed body was numb on the other side of the bed, but I… I was naked. I quietly got out of the bed and put my clothes on. My fingers were shaking when I picked my phone, thoughts of Knox already figuring everything out or him tracking my location intensifying the tremor I felt. On my way out, I checked the time to find out it was still midnight… at least a few hours before daybreak. With that in mind, I sprinted through the hallways. His men granted me access to exit the building without question and I ran like my life depended on it. To quicken my movements, I boarded a cab, where I checked for all the documents in the envelope. I've never seen what it looked like before they were in Christopher's possession, but the

Knox's POVI watched her closely during the day. I even had to speak to Mira to see if she had noticed anything strange. Of course I had initially placed her around Yvette with hopes of her being my eyes and ears, until I decided she should have her own privacy and relationship since she no longer had anyone with me.Mira insisted that there wasn't so much going on other than her anxiety and worry. She sounded almost identical to Dave in a way that made me suspect they already had a conversation about all of this without me knowing. Regardless, I didn't push beyond what she had already given up, instead, I let her go and decided to trust whatever I was going to find out in Christopher's house.Dave and I ended up leaving together for a hotel when it was almost midnight. It had crossed my mind to check up on Yvette before leaving, but I decided against it. I wouldn't know how to face her if I made her know that I was suspicious of some of the things she had done lately, then later find

Knox's POVDave had been trying to talk some sense into me, but none of what he said sounded like sense to me. They sounded like him refusing to see and believe that Yvette had done the same thing every woman in my life and the life of my mother did. Betray us then find something tangible enough to buy their place back in our lives."You can believe whatever you want, Knox. But I genuinely hope you're able to live with yourself when all of this is over," he said, dropping the said property documents on my desk.I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh."The irony is I can't live with myself now. If I hadn't for once been slowed by the stupid emotions I felt for her. Or at least be rational about it, I'd have let her off the hook that way. It would have hurt less if she decided to screw me. I'd have called off this nonsense and she'd have run very far from my world because she said it herself. She hated it.""And something changed, Knox. The Yvette we both knew wouldn't risk bargaini

Yvette's POVI woke up to a white ceiling, a beeping sound, the smell of antiseptic and IV lines and half of my body covered in white sheets.I blinked trying to recall how I had ended up here."Miss Yvette," an unfamiliar voice called my name. "How are you feeling now?""I don't know you," I whispered after taking in his face."You don't. It was an emergency situation and I happened to be the one handling your case.""Where's Knox?" I asked with a jolt.I didn't want him anywhere near me after what he did. I wanted to leave from here. Run. Fly somewhere… anywhere… as long it was far from him.I ran my fingers through my hair in desperation and even brought my legs down in painful attempts to get out of the bed. My heart raced and I couldn't help but wince either.The doctor quickly rushed to my side, holding me carefully while asking me to relax. If only he knew what he was asking."I need to leave," I blurted, memories of the video filling my mind. "I need to get far away from here.

Yvette's POVI woke up the next day feeling a little bit better. I adjusted Mira who happened to sleep off beside me, except she woke up instead."I'm so sorry… I didn't mean to wake you."She stretched, took a few seconds to adjust to the morning sun then got out of bed."Good morning, Yvette," she yawned."Fine morning, Mira. Thanks for keeping me company," I rushed to say before she could start apologising for sharing my bed."I'm glad I was able to help," she said, arranging the plate which now served as a reminder of how we went from talking to sleeping off. "I have to check up on Knox and make breakfast," she said hurriedly."Sure."As soon as she left, I went to stand close to the window, opening the curtains so I could be hit by the sun rays. I rubbed my stomach as I let my body absorb more and more of the rays until I decided it was time to officially begin my day.I went from making my bed to
