28: THE WOMAN IN A TUX
MEREDITH'S POV
A calm smile carved its way across the woman's face.She stood nearly 6 feet tall. In her hand, she carried a bottle of wine and topped off my almost empty glass again. Nodding in acknowledgement, I lifted my cup for another drink, keeping an eye on her as she chugged from the bottle.When did she get here? Why did she come here? I was furious. I just wanted to be left alone."So why are you hiding behind a plant? Don't you enjoy dancing?" she asked."I'm not one for dancing," I replied, frowning beneath the mask. "I was never taught quite how to dance for grand events like this."She seemed amused, the smile taking on a sardonic cast. "Grand? House Crawford's balls are of high quality, yes, but 'grand' may be too generous," she spoke while her eyes looked around the area. "Bode Crawford is a beast of a man. But he tries to compensate for what he's lacking, if you know what I mean, by ensuring to paint how rich

MAXIMILIAN'S POVI found myself feeling apprehensive. I hadn't seen Meredith since I saw her kissing that man at the hotel in Las Vegas. I adjusted the top buttons of my jacket while looking at the multiple flat screens that decorated the walls of the private area I occupied. I felt conflicted between the amazing woman I shared an unforgettable night with and the woman I witnessed the following morning entertaining another man. There had to be two Merediths. Perhaps she had an identical twin I didn’t know about. I clenched my teeth tightly in my head. I became lost in a whirlwind of laughable scenarios. I just couldn't shake the fact that maybe I was overreacting. I decided on the spot that when I met her tonight, I would confront her and let her give me her side of the story, but the universe said, fuck you Maximilian as my eyes landed on the screen in the middle showing a woman and a guy getting cosy behind a big ugly potted plant. The woman was donned in a white dress, and she w

MEREDITH'S POVI was still feeling flushed from that kiss with Blake. I sensed that she was an appealing woman, full of intrigue and excitement. I wish I didn't have to go through with this auction, and I was free to do what I wanted, but I knew what was at stake and I would rather die than leave Brenda trapped in those clutches of that fucking wicked man. As if the devil heard his name, he strolled into the bedroom I was in. Mary left us alone so we could talk. "Ah, if it isn't the virgin," he laughed heartily. Another fellow shuffled in behind him. He was wearing an old suit that was in dire need of a dry-clean. "This is my attorney, Mr. Wayland. He will go over the contract with you to make sure I'm not tricking you.""No need to do that, Mr. Fuller. I had already had someone review it for me.""Really?""Yes," I replied. Brenda got me a copy, and she sent it to Paxton, whose lawyer looked it over and said all was well. Paxton was such a nice guy, and he was really into Brenda, b

MAXIMILIAN'S POV"Paxton, tell me what you've got," I demanded. The auction was about to start, and my PI was late with the details I requested. Paxton held his phone in his hand, waiting impatiently for the email from Derek Russo. "Derek is so laid back, I don't understand why you didn't use Conner instead," Paxton shrugged. "I know Conner is more professional, but Derek has his ways of digging deep and going to whatever lengths he must go to get the information needed," I stated calmly even though I was panicking on the instead. Paxton refreshed the page. "It's here, finally," he beamed."OK, open it and tell me what it says," I requested, my heart beating fast inside my rib cage. I watched Pax's eyes roam the e-mail while his lips mimed whatever was in the report. His face went pale making my heart speed up even more. "I don't like that look on your face. What is it?" I asked. "Trouble," was all he said as he handed me the phone. "Read it yourself." "Let me see," I snatched th
BASTARD IN A SUIT 32: AUCTION
MAXIMILIAN'S POVTo say I was nervous would be an understatement. There was a ruckus going on inside my stomach. Sweating intensely like a prisoner awaiting execution, I struggled with my racing thoughts that were blurring my vision. I was gripping the armrests tightly in an attempt to stabilize myself, but I just ended up with some chipped nails and skin burns. "You have to calm down," Paxton whispered near my ear. "You are making me nervous.""I just don't like when things aren't going my way.""Relax, you got this. Furthermore, your accountant arrived with the funds you asked for. Do you think it'll be enough?""I hope so. Obtaining two billion dollars in cash on such short notice wasn't easy. I had to use bitcoins to cash out this much money."With excitement, Paxton exclaimed, "TWO BILLION DOLLARS!" If it wasn't for the commentator speaking over the mic, then all eyes would have been on us. In order for my accountant to provide me with this much money, I had to threaten to fire
BASTARD IN A SUIT 33: STRIP
MEREDITH'S POVAs Mary extracted me from the tiny box, I didn't utter a sound or remember how to blink. She didn't say much as she removed the blindfold off my eyes. "Come," she beckoned. "Your new master wants me to give you a bath."New master? What the hell. I didn't like that term at all. "But I can bathe myself," I protested. "Yes I know Meredith, but this is my order. Now come," she said irritated. I reluctantly followed her to the bathroom and stepped into the tub of warm water that was drawn for me. My body felt tense as Mary's hands rubbed soap along my collarbone and my chest. She applied some body wash to my washcloth and handed it to me so I could wash my privates myself. She faced away from me to allow some privacy while I cleaned myself. Once I completed my bath, Mary provided me with a lovely pink baby doll dress and some mesh underwear to wear. These clothes were at least normal, and as if she could read my thoughts, she remarked, "The master selected these for you
BASTARD IN A SUIT 34: I AM NOT SLEEPING WITH YOU
MEREDITH'S POV Not a single ounce of emotion existed in those blue orbs. My heart ached, because the way Max was looking at me was nothing close to how he did when we first met. Everything about him now was dark and cold. He was exuding a sense of danger that sent even more chills down my bones. "That's what I am to you, a toy?" I spat. He lit up his cigar and took a puff from it. He narrowed his eyes while observing me. He took a few more puffs before putting the cigar in the ashtray. "Come here," he beckoned me closer, slapping his thigh to suggest I take a seat on his lap. I trembled and felt goosebumps forming on my skin. When I first encountered Max, I believed he was a kind-hearted angel. Gazing at him now, I recognized the devil lurking beneath his charming exterior, with his malicious intentions shining through. "No," I said, folding my arms across my chest and staying rooted in my place. "No!" He cackled. "I'm sorry, love, but I don't know what that word me
BASTARD IN A SUIT 35: STAY WITH ME
MAXIMILIAN'S POVI was lost in thought. Meredith's words echoed repeatedly in my mind. 'Hate me?' I should be the one to hate her after I opened my bed and heart to her, and what did she do in return? Stole the cheque right under my nose. Was it always about money for her? I startled when someone placed a hand on my shoulder. I turned to find Paxton behind me, gazing at me with a puzzled expression. "Shit, man, you startled me," I smirked as I took a drag from my cigar. "Sorry," he apologized. "Since when do you smoke?" He asked me. "Since I fell for someone who chewed me up and spat me out like I was chicken bone," I grunted, throwing the cigar bud in the fire. The wood crackled, and the flames flickered as I stormed to go plop on the couch. "What happened? You're all broody and irritated," Paxton mentioned. "I thought you'd be happy. You've got your girl, so why aren't you two riding off into the sunset?""I genuinely believed I would be able to forget that she took the cheque
BASTARD IN A SUIT 36: GET OFF ME
MEREDITH'S POV'Go ahead and kiss him, girl. Just grab him by the neck and kiss the shit out of him,' the little devil girl on my left shoulder urged me. 'Meredith, ignore what she says. Tell this man to get off you. Show him who's boss,' the tiny lady on my right shoulder, dressed in an angel outfit, demonstrated. 'He treated you like a prostitute.''So? What's so awful about getting slapped around with cum on your face?' the Devil girl joked. 'Nothing is wrong with a man rocking your world and holes, and then giving you money on top of that. Shit! I'd have a plate of whatever this hunk is serving. Look at him, with his fine ass," the Devil lady purred. Maybe Devil girl was right. I worked at the Sugar Baby club, a place famous for those kinds of exchanges. Perhaps Max just misunderstood what I stood for and figured I was a working girl, too. 'Don't listen to her, Meredith!' the Angel lady shouted. 'Stay in the light and resist the temptation of the dark side.'I caught sight of M
