All Chapters of Bargain: An Object of Desire (+18): Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Yvette's POV Ifollowed him cautiously all the way to his car, constantly inspecting my surroundings for any sign of surveillance. My body froze on seeing the camera… multiple cameras at the entrance. That instant, my body began to hesitate.I stepped away from his car instinctively."What's wrong now? Has all your bravery suddenly vanished?"I looked away from him, not bothering to give him any answers. I clutched my purse, rushing to open it only to recall that I didn't have any device on me. I couldn't reach out to Dave or Mira in case something happened."I'm a very busy man Knox. If all your courage stems from Knox's presence then give him a call or something, or let me go about my day," he retorted, his voice serious and mocking.Without more thought, I entered his car and prepped mentally for whatever deep shit I had gotten myself into.I stole a quick glance from the side to see his gaze harden at something before he entered the car, put on his belt and drove off.I buried my

Knox's POVI hadn't realised how badly my hands were trembling until I adjusted her face over my thigh. She had dozed off again while on our way home.I pulled back the strands of her hair I had meticulously sketched before to reveal her face. Not even in her sleep was there a trace of peace. Her last words tore through my flesh, still if she hadn't disobeyed my orders from the beginning, none of this would have happened.I still couldn't tear my gaze off her face until the accumulated wetness from my eyes dropped to her cheeks. She had just made herself one of my nightmares. How would she be able to calm my storm now? How, when she had just signed herself off to Christopher to be added to the list of storms?I sniffed, looking out through the window.This wasn't an experience I'd wish on anyone… This wasn't something I'd want anyone to see. To be fair… it wasn't even something I'd think anyone could bear and I had fucking wanted the weight to be on me! Every action! Every word! I had

Yvette's POVI spent the next day sobbing and begging, but the outcome remained the same — I was snubbed in the very worst way. I had lost hope waiting for Mira, and Dave? Well, there had never been a time he seemed to care except when I had to prepare to meet the members of the board.My headache never really had time to heal, so I left my room… away from the four walls that made me small and anxious. I stopped by the library to get a book first, before I made my way to the garden.The pool not so far from it called my name, though, but I really didn't want to add fuel to the fire. I stayed put in a hidden corner, always glancing behind me to be sure not even Knox could see me from his room.Hours passed with me feeling slightly alive… and the book by Colleen Hoover… I wouldn't lie, she worsened my emotional state in the best way. I could now cry and reflect deeply on everything. Knox was angry and he had the right to be. I was stupid and now I was paying the price. Christopher was a

Yvette's POVI dozed off even before I could begin to process what had happened. For the first time, I grieved the gap in my memory severely because from everything I could remember, there was nothing for him to be sorry about, yet if I had heard correctly, he had apologised.Mira was cleaning by the time I woke up and unlike the few days that had passed, she smiled at me the moment she noticed that I was awake."Good morning, Miss Yvette.""Good morning, Mira," I yawned, sitting up on my bed.I blinked a few times while making sure there was nothing missing in my memory from last night."Is something wrong?"I gazed towards the window, letting my face absorb the rays while Mira walked closer to me."Everything is fine," I assured her. "Apart from not being able to recall a crucial moment of my life, I have a very important event coming up tomorrow and I want to be ready for it.""What is that?""Knox will let you know himself."She scoffed in response then returned to the vanity she

Yvette's POVThings eased up a bit on hearing what the whole change was actually about. Still, I couldn't quiet the fear that crept in every now and then. More like I didn't know what to do with it.I had called Dave to pick me up before the three hours I had to stay in my office and somehow, his presence made me feel more uneasy."Are you going to stop being creepy already? I'm going through a lot mentally and I don't need more of Knox," I complained, watching him from the rear-view mirror.I heard him chuckle slightly before meeting my gaze."Sure.""Better. Now, focus on the drive."He reluctantly returned his gaze to the road, setting me free from the second most intense gaze I had had to endure until now.When we arrived at the garage, he stole a quick glance at me before looking away."Hey!""What's the matter?""Why do you keep staring at me?" I tried to articulate my discomfort in a less cringey way, but it failed. He grimaced anyway. "I catch you almost all the time so don't
