Walking into the room, I gasped. Yes, I was married to a billionaire and was used to fancy and fine things but the room blew my mind. It was exquisite. I could not stop looking around. And from the expressions on the faces of the others, I could tell that they were incredibly impressed. “Okay, okay, we have work to do,” Maddy was the first to speak. She sat on the bed and took her backpack from her pack, taking her laptop from in it. When she had her machine on her lap, she dashed the bag on the floor not far from her and started typing really fast in seconds. She then suddenly stopped, noticing that we were all staring at her. She cleared her throat, directing her attention to her friend. “Um, Jojo! Don’t you think now is the best time to tell Linda about her role in all of this?” She raised an eyebrow, and then without waiting for a response, went back to work. “Oh yeah!” Jojo exclaimed. She walked towards me and led me to the other bed. There were four king-sized beds in the r
Risks. Oh yeah, I almost forgot that there was a possibility that I could mess up the plan, or it could not go as planned, resulting in dying or so. I stared at the small pistol and nodded. “Sure, I understand.”Jojo smiled before winking at me. “You know, we would have armed you but we can’t. Before you enter the room of Mr. Carrington, you will be checked by the security team to ensure that you have no form of weapons.”“But how about the pin that you would give me, is it not a weapon they could detect?” I was intrigued. “It’s a special pin; very high-tech, so no, they won’t be able to detect it,” Maddie replied without lifting her attention from her laptop. She seemed to listening even though she was working on god knows what. “What she said,” The tux guy added, causing Jojo to chuckle. After an hour, I was dressed in black lingerie that showed off my body in ways that I never knew it could be shown. My breasts were lifted by it and it was when I was staring at my reflection in
With a racing heart and nervous mind, I walked headed in the opposite direction of the team, making sure that my face was not showing. I did not want it to seem like I was just coming from the room next to them. If I wanted to make this work, I had to do it the right way. I was already in the lion’s pit and there was no turning back, so doing the job to the best of my ability was all I could really do. When I reached the elevator, I pressed the button for the ground floor. The automated doors immediately opened. I stepped in but just before it could close, I placed my arm on the doors and it opened again. I walked out, running my hand through my hair and releasing a heavy breath. It was showtime. My strides were confident and my walk was immaculate, but my heart was saying otherwise. It was far from calm and collected. When I reached the guards, I walked past them and went straight for the door. That was when I was stopped. “Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing, miss?” One of them a
I wanted to disappear. I wanted to turn around and just run out of the room. But I knew that I only had one chance at getting this right and that the lives of my loved ones would certainly be at risk if I did not go through with this plan. Feeling sick to my stomach because I felt in every way that I was cheating on Chris, I took a step away from the CEO. He seemed to see it as a game and grabbed me by my arm hard, pulling me close to him. As soon as I felt his boner, I instinctively pushed him away. And I did so a bit aggressively. He was not far from the bed so he fell to the bed, a confused look crossing his face. “What are you doing? Why did you push me?” He sounded cocky. “Might I remind you, I am the one in charge, not you. I’m the one that is paying a hefty amount here.” I had to get myself together. I nodded and apologized, “I’m sorry, my love. I…I just like it kind of rough, you know?” I winked at him as I walked close to him in a very seductive way. I had to get and sta
My heart was pounding and for a second, I did not know what to say. But then the words just flew out of my mouth on their own. “I’m done, your boss is asleep and I need to leave so I can get ready for tonight.” “Oh, you would be back?” He asked, not breaking eye contact with me. “Yes, I would be.” I proceeded to walk past him. But did not just walk away because I knew that I was still having a conversation with him. “That’s interesting,” He chuckled the words out. “Mr. Carrignton never sleeps with the same girl twice.” He looked at his colleagues and they all laughed. “Unless…” The other one said, wiggling his eyebrows. “You know…” He licked his lips. All of them started to laugh once more and I just wanted to get the heck out of there. I did not want to be there in any way. I forced a chuckle. “Alright, boys. I best be on my way.” I sighed internally. “Okay, keep doing what you do,” The head guy said, and they all laughed once more as I walked away. The farther I walked, the b
My blood ran cold at Jojo’s question, her words hanging heavy in the air like a dark cloud. I felt a knot form in the pit of my stomach, a sickening wave of nausea washing over me at the mere thought. “I…” I did not know what to say. It was not like I had much of a choice. It was either I do that or Fallon would have had my parents harmed, or worse, killed. “You will get used to it,” She replied, giggling as she adjusted herself in the car seat, proceeding to stare out the window, a look of contentment on her face. Get used to it? I did not want to get used to it! I was now a murderer. I had now been sucked into a life that could have only been a nightmare or movie. Thinking of it all now, maybe all of this would have never happened if I had just sat my butt in the mansion, not trying to find something to do in America. But again, my brother still would have found out about the fact that Mitch had been cheating on him. And that was that. “I don’t want to get used to it,” I mumbl
Chris looked at me, concern etched on his face. “Linda, you can tell us. We’re here to help you,” He said gently, his hand reaching out to grasp mine. I glanced at him, feeling a mix of gratitude and fear. If I told them the truth, everything would change. But if I lied, I would have to live with the guilt and the constant fear of being discovered. I think the latter would have to do. Because there was no way that I was going to confess in front of the police. Imagine what Fallon would do to me. “I…I left because I needed some time alone,” I finally managed to say, my voice barely above a whisper. “I didn’t want to worry anyone.” “Seriously?” Chris obviously was not buying it. “You were running and jumped into a car! Or van, I don’t know.” “Yeah, that does not make too much sense,” Jen added, folding her arms on her chest. “But if that is what you’re going with, then sure thing.” She flashed me a smile. My husband forced a smile and nodded before saying, “Thank you, Officer Jen.
Chris’s grip tightened on my arm, his eyes flashing with frustration, concern, and annoyance. “I need to know what’s going on, Linda. You can’t keep shutting me out like this.” I struggled against his hold, but he was strong. He was holding me tight enough so I could not get away, but not too tight that I would be in physical pain. “Chris, I have nothing to tell. Deal with that, won’t you?” I raised my voice a bit, still trying to get free. “Lies, lies, and even more lies. You ran out of here as if your life depended on it. I saw it all on the security footage, Linda. Why won’t you just tell me the truth? I’m your husband.” I chewed on his words in my mind for a few seconds. But honestly, not telling him would be for his own good. He would be safer that way. My parents would be safer that way. I would be safer that way. So there was no way I would explain what I had done to him, maybe except if Fallon gave me permission, which I highly doubted would ever happen. I shook my head s
