I found myself running back to the garden and searching endless for that card
I found it in between some flowers and starred at it for a while
Am I really ready to do this, give my body to get what I want
But the possibilities are high, if I don't do this, he won't help me and no matter where I run to, the cops are still gonna chase after me
I went back upstairs and dialed the number
It rang twice before he picked
"Hello sir, it's Scarlett" I said with hesitation
"What"he replied
"I wanted to know if you were still willing to help me"
"Are you ready to accept my condition"
My throat went dry
"Yes"I replied with her heart in my mouth
"Good for you…..I will be stopping by later in the day, we will discuss more" he said
Not giving me a chance to reply he ended the call
I dropped the phone down, my hand was shaking my heart tight
Why am I always the victim of being used, my ex used me and dumped me, my best friend betrayed and used me, I don't even know what to say about my mom, is she trying to help me or just a devil in the shadows
Gosh all this is so tiring
I went downstairs for breakfast, everything was deliciously organized
But I did not have much of an appetite
Putting one fried egg in between two slice of bread, I began to eat
Slowly and lamenting inside me of my doomed fate
I was about taking another slice when one bodyguard approached me holding a package
"Good morning ma'am, boss instructed me to give this to you"He said handing over the package
I opened it and discovered it was a brand new phone
Honestly this Mr Grey is really full of surprises, acting cold and mean on the outside and actually soft on the inside
"You can transfer your sim inside but take note, you can't send text messages through that sim, only calls" he said leaving me stunned
"Wait what! I don't understand"
"Your location and tracking has been permanently destroyed, affecting your messages and other chatting apps to avoid being tracked down"
"Was it due to the screen damage"
"No, the boss ordered for it to be wiped out" saying this he left
I starred at the new phone, it's actually beautiful
After breakfast I headed back to my room for just a short nap
I cuddled my self inside the fluffy and comfy blanket, slowly drafting to sleep
Afternoon …..
I tossed severally on the bed before opening my eyes and adjusting them to the afternoon sun
Speaking of afternoon sun , Mr Cross should have arrived by now, oh gosh I hope he hasn't gone yet
I lazily dragged myself out of bed and headed out
I stood at the beginning of the stair gates and starred downstairs, trying to catch a glimpse of him
There he was by the bar, sipping from his glass of wine
For some reason, he looked up and we locked eye contact
A smirk curved on his lips as he starred back at his wine glass
I turned and hid behind the pillar, clean Ching my chest
Am I really ready for this? I asked myself
Looking at him one more time I slowly went down stairs, heading to the bar
I took a sit on the bar stool opposite him and turned to face him
He raised a hand and just like that everyone began to leave, leaving us alone
My hands and feets began to sweat
He moved his hand to my direction and I instantly stood up backing away
"Wait wait Mr Cross, I don't think you will wanna have me, I am not too good in bed" I said hoping for a positive reply
He just kept starring at me then released a light chuckle
What's funny
"Who said I wanted to have you in bed" he replied
I blinked severely
"What!"
"When I asked if you were willing to also offer yourself I didn't say to me"
Wait what, then who
Then it hit me like a snakes bit, it's obviously Mr Grey
Oh no I can't do that,he looks like someone who can dislocate a woman's legs in bed
"Is it Mr Grey" I asked and he just nodded
Oh no this is bad
I sat back down and he poured me a glass of wine
Oh so that's what he wanted to do, silly me I was already thinking negative
"Mr Cross please just be sincere with me, what do you want from me"
"Now you are talking" he gave me his se*y smile and I couldn't help but blush
Realizing what just happened I immediately cleared my throat and looked away pretending to inch my hair
"You are a lively and annoying person at the same time, a perfect match for Xavier to get on his nerves" he said
Is that a compliment or what, am I really annoying
"I want you to use that your special powers and make Xavier happy, make him have a reason to live, a reason to hope for a future and not just to be a powerful mafia don, kill and sell drugs"he continued
I became puzzled, why is he saying all this? Is there something that might have happened to him that made him give up on the happiness of life
"Is something wrong with Mr Grey" I asked in a low timid note
"There are lots of things, alot….. but none of them concerns you, just focus on what I am telling you right now"
He said and I nodded
"If you wanna strike a deal with him you are gonna have to give him something in return and your body turns out to be a very good option (he hesitated) but be warned don't force yourself on him or you might end up dead before you even touch him( he warned) I will talk to him to help you and consider your stay"
I fell silent trying to process everything he just said
"So I just have to make him happy even with my body and then I will get what I want"
"Perfectly said, just be his woman for three months after that you can be free"
Free! The word kept on repeating, will I really know what freedom looks like?
Just three months
"Ok Mr Cross, I accept"
"Alright just sign here" he gave me a pen and I signed it
Praying I made the right decision
He collected it afterwards and stood up to leave but stopped midway
"Mind you,don't even think of developing any feelings for him unless you wanna die an early death"
I shivered on his last words but answered any way
"Mr Cross you can be rest assured, I have no intention in falling in love again not now not ever and especially not with Mr Grey" i replied confidently
"Good for you" he said and left
Upstairs I couldn't help but worry what he meant by except you wanna die an early death, I sat on the bed puzzled
Am I gonna regret accepting this deal?oh my goodness please no, I have already lost alot I don't wanna loose more
