Chapter 4 This Is Unfair

Blue's POV

I chewed my bottom lip while doing everything to hide my neck. I can still feel Nicholas' kiss and touch. I can still feel the warmth of his body against mine. His hot breath. His intense stares. His lips. His handsome face. Oh, God!

I swallowed hard and squeezed my eyes closed. I almost gave in to him. If Atticus didn't come back, I'd really lose myself to Nicholas at that very moment. What the heck, Blue? Really? On the first meeting, you'd give in? Argh! So crazy!

"Sis, why is your face so red?"

I looked at Sunny and cupped my cheeks. She's sitting beside me. Her sunken cheeks are pale. I smiled at her and shook my head. "N-Nothing. Don't mind me. Just keep eating."

She nodded and continued eating. I bought her food before I went here with Atticus and Nick Sanford's men.

Sunny lifted her face and looked at me again. "What about your neck? It was also red. Did something bite you?"

I cupped that part of my neck, shocked. Nicholas did really leave a kiss mark? That brute! That is why I still feel his lips on my neck.

I cleared my throat and caressed Sunny's cheek. "I need to tell you something, Sunny."

She nodded, staring into my eyes. I heaved a sigh and glanced at the nurse, standing a few meters away from us. I know she was hired by Nick Sanford.

I felt tears at the corner of my eyes. "I… I won't be able to visit you again because I need to work."

Her face mirrored how shock she was. "Huh? But why?"

I gently caressed her hair as U swallowed hard. I felt like crying but I couldn't. "Be…Because I need to work."

She hugged me causing my tears to fall. I quickly wiped my tears and hugged her back. I kissed her head. "I will be back, okay? And while I'm gone, I want you to be strong and get better."

I don't wanna leave Sunny because she's crying while looking at me. I felt my heart ripping apart. Oh, God! I don't wanna leave but I don't have a choice. I need to do this for us. Nick Sanford promised me that she'll get the best treatment, and I don't have money for that. Besides, I already signed the contract.

I stared at her face. Just a little sacrifice, Sunny. We will be together again. I wiped the tears on my cheek as soon as I turned my back on her. I'll miss you, baby sis.

Carrying my bag, I punched the passcode of Nicholas Sanford's penthouse. I swallowed hard while entering the house. Atticus sent me here after I visited Sunny. Nick Sanford wants me to live with his son and start our deal as soon as possible.

I chewed my bottom lip. I'm nervous and scared. After what happened between me and Nicholas. I don't think I can easily make him fall in love. I thought it could be possible in 100 days but hell, with his cold and rude attitude, I don't think I can melt his heart that easily.

"N-Nicholas?" I called, roaming my eyes around.

He isn't here? Where is he? Atticus said Nicholas must be here.

I wet my lips and continued roaming my eyes around. I put my bag near the sofa and started exploring. I like the furniture. This penthouse is incredibly fancy but so cold, empty and lonely. It's luxurious but it feels like no one is living here.

I saw two doors. Bedrooms? I walked towards the door on my left and twisted its doorknob. I was about to take a peek inside when the door behind me swung open.

I gasped and quickly turned myself around. My jaw dropped as my eyes landed on a beautiful and muscular body. His muscles are in the right places. His tanned complexion makes him look hotter. Droplets of water cascading down his chest and stomach from his wet hair.

I gasped again, completely distracted.

Nicholas Sanford is standing before me, half freaking naked. The black towel wrapped around his waist was too loose and it's showing his sexy v-line. Will it… I swallowed hard. Will the towel fall if he moves raggedly? Gosh! What am I thinking?

I forced my eyes to meet his pair of ruthless orbs. His lips twitched as soon as our gazes met. "Enjoying the view?"

I groaned in my head because of his rough attitude. I protruded my lips and looked away. "I-I'm not."

"Uh-huh? And you're blushing."

His judgment made me so uneasy. I felt my cheeks heated even more.

I harshly shook my head. "It was an accident. I didn't mean to look at your… your body."

He cocked an eyebrow and advanced to me, causing me to step back. His ruthless eyes were making it hard for me to move back properly. His gaze is making my knees weak and my heart is pounding so hard, thinking something will happen again. Oh, no!

"You didn't mean it but you're rudely staring, woman. Why? You feel hot looking at my body?"

I stared back into his eyes. I don't know if he's just teasing me or what but, hey, it's working. It's slowly affecting my body and I felt tingles somewhere inside me. Oh, no!

He laughed without humor. "You can't even deny it."

I gasped and quickly shook my head. "I-I told you it was an accident. I-I didn't know you're here."

"This is my house. Of course, I'd be here. Are you stupid?"

I pressed my lips together. He's just so rude! This brute is really the son of a mafia leader.

"I was… just exploring. I want to see the whole house and I didn't mean to look at your body. It's not like I want to stare. It was a spur of the moment."

His lips showed an amused grin. I want to cry in so much embarrassment. Why is he forcing me to admit that I enjoyed staring at his body?

"This is unfair," he said using a husky voice. "You have seen my body and yet you're fully clothed. Why don't you strip to make it even?"

"Huh?" My breathing stopped for a moment.

"Take your blouse off," he said, full of authority and ruthlessness.

I shook my head, panicking. I even hugged myself. "No."

He clenched his jaws. The anger in his eyes intensified. "Take.it.off."

His ruthless and angry eyes never leave mine. It was sharp. It was brutal. He just wants me to strip, right? Just strip? God, he's weird. Why would he make me strip so he can get even?
