All Chapters of Bargain: An Object of Desire (+18): Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Yvette's POVI followed everything Mira instructed down to the least. She had selected three gowns for me to choose from and each had a major flaw for a decent society. I ended up picking the one which appeared more modest. It was a sleeveless gown with a slit back that sat from my mid-thigh. The length of the gown also continued as a see-through black lace from my mid-thigh as well to a few inches below my knee.For a stripper, this was definitely modest, however Knox's world didn't expose my body as much as I thought it would. I put on black Christian Louboutin stilettos and let my hair fall back. Mira had instead done a silk press to match and a bolder nude lipstick. I finally grabbed my purse then proceeded to Knox's room.To be honest, I didn't know what I was thinking when I opened his door without him sending for me. Perhaps, I was just getting too comfortable and I paid the price the moment I walked in. The look on Dave and his face obviously looked like they had been discussi

Yvette's POVI couldn't hold it in any longer after we got into the car. My mind ran through thousands, if not millions, of responses from Christopher. All more terrifying than the other in a very cruel way.“Was that really necessary?” I breathed out.Knox clenched his jaw in response, probably because of my tone.I took a deep breath with my eyes shut.“You do know the board meeting is tomorrow, right? Why did you have to do that?”“Do what exactly?”“Do that,” I pointed out the window. “You literally got him enraged and I feel like it's on purpose. Why would you do that when you know what type of man he is? Worse, why take me with you when you know how he sees me?”“It was necessary for him to know you are going to be showing up tomorrow, else it would have been worse than what you saw in there. Take it from me.”His words held a level of finality in them that wasn't from being superior whatsoever.“He is my father, and I do all I do because only I know him well enough.”“Still,” I

Knox's POVI intentionally poked her so she kept cussing and ranting rather than thinking about the entire process, since I was sure as hell that she was freaking out on the inside. I kept things that way until Dave announced that we were almost there. She recoiled instantly and reacted to nothing I did.I let her be until the car came to a stop at the parking lot. She took shaky deep breaths and while she did, I gestured for us to be left alone.“Hey, Moth,”“Hey, Luther,” she whispered back.“You do know how I hate being called Luther, right?”“That's exactly why I call you Luther.”I paused, reconsidering my intention to soothe her.“You know what?” I sighed. “Let's bring victory home,” I said, rubbing her back.I gave her just a little time to process what I had just said, then stepped out to open her door. She took my extended hand afterwards, and we made it to the topmost floor.“I could tease you throughout the introduction so you don't vanish into your anxiety,”She glared at

Yvette's POVTwo days had gone with me doing literally everything possible to make sure I didn't mess my new job up. Mira didn't have to remind me of the practice session, instead I dragged her into my sleepless nights. Thanks to her, Knox had relieved her of some of her duties making her responsible for just me and him.Dave had been surprisingly helpful in his own ways. He shared video clips of what the company and some of the staff looked like, as well as the different executive departments and their roles in the company. He explained how each company was related on the basic level and decided that Knox would inform me about the rest if need be.Speaking of Knox, I barely saw him or received any instruction from him, whether directly or not. Strangely, it should have felt calmer knowing he wasn't around to piss me off, but it was the opposite without being dramatic. A sense of feeling incomplete.I was revising all I had learned with Mira when she exhaled."You're putting a huge ef

Yvette's POVI had stared long enough at my reflection in his room questioning what was wrong with giving him a heads up concerning what his father might be planning. It dawned on me all at once and I refused to be insulted just because he thought I was weak or not smart enough to fight in a game he had already gotten me involved in.I returned to my room with the same resolve, deciding to find everything I could about Evelyn — not just about her being a lawyer but the deeper relationship she shared with the Luthers."Good evening, Yvette," Mira greeted while approaching me with a tray of food. "It's time for dinner," she announced happily with a broad smile that faded the instant she saw the look on my face."What's wrong?" She asked, setting the tray aside."Nothing much," I sighed. "Just a hectic second day at work.""Hmmm… I see you. Don't tell me you did the work of ten people including yours just to feel relevant?!" She teased."Feel relevant? Please," I rolled my eyes. "I barel
