Bound By A Contract 72
How could one drunken night, one mistake, one moment of weakness turn my life into this hell hole, how it could ruin your whole life. I wasn't sure what to do, I was too weak to fight, too drained to defend myself.I have been living a lie and I knew it was going to catch up with me, I knew it was going to be the death of me. Why did I sign that stupid contract in the first place, why did I fall in love with Cole, I shouldn't have let him drag me to this stupid vacation. This was where all this started, but even without being told I knew the worst was yet to come, and by the worst I mean; Nate, the bastard who was blackmailing me. But I am done letting men ride me and take advantage of me.I could literally hear the voice of my mother crying one of those nights I had come home to meet her high on cheap coke, with a bottle of whiskey in her hands and her massacre falling from her eyes.I abhorred those moments because I was left to pick up her piece and could call her out of her bullsh

We didn't fly together, I took the private jet and he flew back using business class in a commercial plane, ever since I had known Cole, he had never flown in a commercial plane, I thought about the countless hours of trips we had have in this private jet while I was still working as his secretary, how many girls I have seen ride with him, how he would flirt with them and how they would think that he was in love with them just to have on the next trip him bringing back another girl. It was a habit for him. I had never seen one girl twice on this train. Most of them flew with us during the trip and he would dismiss them before the trip was over—tops, two days. I sometimes wonder what those girls felt but sometimes I conclude they knew what they were getting into and the truth was that most of them just wanted a taste of his money and glamorous lifestyle. They don't care if this were to be a passing fling, a one-night stand, all they wanted was his money and the prestige that came with

— Beth —I couldn't believe that my life had come to this, i was all on my own and alone . I had never complained about the robotic life i had lived and endured as Cole's secretary. I had never had a single complain in my life. It was sad to see that i, who was once famous for been unseeable was now out there, in the world, bare and exposed. Everybody had seen my delicate parts, my drunken face and my state of vulnerability. I stood at my window, tear drops creased my cheeks and the hem of my shirt. I didn't want to go out today or ever, there was no use for even trying to see the outside world.I knew that it was bullshit but still, been depressed could have been so much better than what I had going on for me. I had no job, I had no money, I had no cole.Cole...My belly twisted in knots and ended up giving my heart another drop in beats. The sky was grey with the tears I had welled up in my eyes as I recalled our vacation.Baecation as I had findky tried to call it, we had so much f

— beth—"How did this happen? What the fuck happened! How? What?" That's all I could remember after seeing my naked body on the internet. I remember the disgust that wrapped Cole's face and made him become like a stranger to me. He didn't see the need to want to speak to me or to even let me handle work and who could blame him? He fired me from my job, terminated the contract and still rented a place farway from the city to keep me from all the socials that may have broken into my home if I still lived there. I could imagine all the glass breaking from the windows and how each man climed in and tried to have their way with her.Which got her even more upset, she was a victim and not the oppressor. She was the oppressed. She had nothing to do with it, she didn't know what she was doing,she was intoxicated and didn't know that it wasn't cole, it was Nate. She didn't get the chance to even explain herself as shades from different angles were thrown at her for showing and proudly showcasi

" Crystal, how did you get my number?" I was overwhelmed with emotions but at the same time I needed to reason because anybody could have been the enemy."Who else? Your doting husband of course" what? I didn't understand how that was even possible. It didn't make any sense whatsoever. How was it that he fired me from my job, took away my freedom, removed me from social media,secluded me from the rest of the world and still have my new number to a friend. Did he love me? Did he still love me? I mean, I remember feeling that it wasn't just me falling in love, he must have felt something too but right now, actions were proving alot more than words. I was so happy that Cole remembered me, my eyes watered at the very moment 'doting husband' was mentioned. I couldn't understand why it made me cry and I didn't know if it was the fact that crystal didn't know that it was a fake, that we were taking it or that he was still caring for me despite the image I had, displayed on ever wall and stre

Eight Am got me cleaning the house and arranging everything that needed arrangement. Eight Am saw me having my bath in days and brushing my hair out. Eight Am had me arranging my fridge and burning my nose wipes in an ash tray. I didn't even smoke but I had one. I smiled at myself. Crystal was coming over today and I didn't want to give her the expression that I was unhappy and depressed and beyond tired of everything at this point. I didn't want her to pity me in the tiniest bit or fashion and then try to help me heal just because she pitied me. It would break my heart and my remaining pride if I still had some left. I washed some apples that I was sure she would eat because although I tried to conceal the real situation of things, I couldn't conceal the lack of energy and strength and power to cook or to properly clean my house. It wasn't as if I was supposed to have visitors, I was in timeout and I had every right to make my timeout house anything I wished, it so happened that I wa

"But I'd like to ask, what exactly made you to cheat on your fake husband?" She was puzzled. Finally an answer to my prayers, my own side of the story."I didn't, I was seduced and I was taken advantage of" her eyes grew wide as saucers and I continued."Let me start from the beginning" I started." Back at the island, Cole and I hadn't bonded and I was feeling so lonely with no friends and in a new place, no body to go on adventures with. Cole had left some money on the table again and walked out of the bedroom, not uttering a word to me" crystal grabbed a bag of chips from the nearby trolley."Don't mind me, go on" I smiled"So, I took the money and got dressed because if Cole wasn't about to follow me and have fun with me then I may as well do so myself, I went down at the beach with my bikinins and a mojiota drink in hand and a hat for the shade and sunscreen for protection. The beach wasn't really occupied at the time and all I wanted was a good time taking care of myself as I ha

" I know I said we need to do something but how about, you let me reflect on this till tomorrow and I come back tomorrow to tell you what I've thought about? I need to go home soon, it's getting late" I looked at my wall clock and exclaimed 'shit!' how fast had the time travelled. K was glad though that I told my story and somebody believed me for every words I had said, she was a good friend and k would never forget her.I saw her out, she took her trolley, promising to being back more snacks on the trolly tomorrow, that made me smile so much, my face nearly froze with excitement.For the first time in weeks in New York City, I could sleep with one eye closed...As promised by eight Am, crystal was at my door, knocking. I walked towards the doors and as I did yesterday, didn't check first for who it was.
