KaelIt had been a while since she entered the bathroom, but I wasn't worried. We were in the middle of the ocean, and it would be difficult for her to escape from me so easily. I continued lying down, calm, awaiting her return.Sarah was a stunning woman who stirred my emotions in unexpected ways. I knew it could disrupt my plans if I allowed myself to be swayed by her innocent appearance. Despite her evident inexperience and always living in the shadow of her twin sister, I had no intention of fully surrendering to the strong feelings she aroused in me.However, I planned to enjoy some moments with her and make the most of it, considering that my plan didn't unfold as I wished. Nonetheless, that wouldn't deter me.Rachel was more cunning than I expected. She got rid of what I
SarahI felt used.That was the best word to describe how I felt after finding out that the man I had given myself to had made it clear that he bid two million dollars knowing exactly who he was bidding for, and for that reason alone, he went ahead.He didn't desire anyone else, and he wouldn't accept a substitute in my place, which was exactly the role I played in that whole setup. Even so, he went to great lengths just to humiliate me, confirming that he was never truly interested in me. I am sad and my heart hurts.That's how Kael Graham found me and promised that we would return to the pier.I took my phone out of the small bag on my shoulder and saw several missed calls and unread messages, but I didn't bother to check
KaelAs I expected, Ryan made a point to confront me once again about my vile actions, as he defined them. I didn't withhold what actually happened in the cabin and who was truly on that yacht with us that night because as soon as he saw me enter the room, he realized that something hadn't gone according to my wishes.I also didn't see the need to pretend anything for my assistant since I didn't owe him any explanations, so I divulged the entire situation and how it had spiraled out of my control.Ryan said he would ensure Sarah arrived safely at her home, and I simply nodded in agreement. Even if it had been Rachel, I would still expect the same course of action from Ryan, but the fact that it was Sarah made my assistant even more upset—I was absolutely certain of that.I went to the bar in the corner of the luxurious living room of the yacht and poured myself a double shot of whiskey, which I downed in one long, burning gulp.I didn't wait for Ryan's return because I already knew ho
KaelShe looked at me lingeringly, and once again, I held back from doing something I would regret later. I needed Ryan to resolve that issue as quickly as possible, I thought, given the maid's delay in following my simple command."I believe you are aware that Mr. Davis personally took the girl to her address last night," she said.That information caught me completely off guard, and it burned in my chest in a way I had never felt before, unable to explain what I was feeling in response to that revelation."And?" I asked."Just that, sir," she spoke, intimidated by my response."I believe there's more to say," I pressed."No, sir. That's it," she replied, now sounding embarrassed. "I just thought you should know.""And why did you assume that I wouldn't be aware of the fact?" I wanted to know what she intended with that."Mr. Davis has never been responsible for accompanying your guests to their homes before. So, I just... found it strange," the more she spoke, the more her voice fad
SarahMy sister sat down on the bed, and I thought she was about to resort to tears again, but she didn't."How am I going to get the loan shark's money?" she asked aloud, but I imagined it was a rhetorical question."Why don't you simply try to sell the apartment you bought?" I pointed out the obvious."You don't understand, do you, Sarah?" She looked at me angrily, and I just shrugged. "I'll never be able to repay this debt by working like some miserable nobody.""I've lost so much in this whole ordeal," I spoke with disgust. "My stance is that you should sell the apartment, give the entire sale amount to the loan shark, and we'll figure out the rest."Rachel quickly stood up, as if she had just had an idea, and I feared she would go even further with all this madness that had become our lives."I'm going to the nightclub. I'll try to find out something about that night I was there," she explained what she was thinking. "You need to come with me, Sarah.""Well, then you'll have to f
RachelThe woman looked me up and down, and for a moment, I thought she would say a firm no, but she surprised me by returning my smile and responding with the same enthusiasm."Hello! It's a pleasure to see you here again," she said, seemingly sincere. "I hope you're doing well, girl."Ah, so she remembers that night perfectly."Rachel. My name is Rachel," I extended my hand for a handshake."I'm Bruna," she accepted the handshake, squeezing my hand warmly."Can we talk for a bit?"Bruna nodded with a serious look, indicating that she was willing to talk. I introduced her to Sarah, and she invited us to a small lounge in the corridor near the bathrooms.As I had suspected, Bruna confirmed that she noticed I wasn't just under the influence of alcohol that night."I realized that your friend was trying to get you drunk. She was acting strangely and put something in your drink when you weren't looking."My eyes widened with surprise, and Sarah's eyes grew even larger than mine. I had no
KaelI let out a hearty laugh, attempting to disguise my true state of mind. I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of knowing how close he was to the truth.Ever since I was with Sarah on the yacht, I can't get her out of my head, that was the truth. The fact that it would interfere with my plans was what wasn't right. I would go through with my plan because even though the night on the yacht was completely different from what I had imagined, the result was as expected. Rachel didn't fulfill her part, and I wasn't going to give her the two million dollars, which was precisely what I intended from the beginning.However, none of this had happened so far, and my pressure on Ryan, the person I trusted most after my mother, only worsened the situation. He seemed to come up with explanations that sounded like excuses, whic
SarahI looked at the man sitting on the small, uncomfortable couch in the cramped living room and sighed with displeasure."I don't understand why you're here," Rachel commented. "If you work for that jerk, why did you come?""I work for Kael Graham, but that doesn't mean I'm like him," Ryan responded, unshaken. "I like Sarah, and I want to help her.""You can help by convincing your sleazy boss to pay my two million. It's quite simple."Ryan rolled his eyes with annoyance, not even bothering to hide it, facing Rachel's persistence about the auction money, and I felt completely embarrassed to have to be reminded of that matter."Can we talk somewhere else, Sarah?" he said, making it even
