Contracted to Deceive Chapter 6 - Louboutins
(Gloria) The boutique smelled like expensive perfume and immense wealth, the kind of place I used to avoid because even looking at the price tags felt like a crime. But today, I walked in like I belonged.Because for the first time in my life, I actually had money.A sales assistant in a sleek black dress approached me, flashing a well trained smile. “Welcome to Belle Maison. Looking for something special?”“Office clothes,” I said, glancing around at the racks of designer blouses and tailored skirts. “Something professional but stylish.”Her eyes lit up, already scanning me like I was a project she was dying to perfect. “You have such a great frame for structured pieces. Let’s get you something that commands attention.” She said and gestured for me to follow. “First day at a new job?”“Something like that.”She pulled out a crisp white silk blouse and held it against my shoulders. “Classic. Timeless. This with a high waisted skirt? Perfection.”I ran my fingers over the fabric. “I’l

(Gloria) The clock on the wall ticks painfully slow as i tap my fingers against the counter, my eyes flicking up every few seconds to check the time. 4:57 PM, almost there.The coffee shop isn’t busy anymore, just a few customers lingering over their drinks, my shift ends at five, and I’m counting down the seconds. Not just because my feet ache from standing all day, but because I have a meeting, one I still can’t wrap my head around.Eleanor Montclair.I swallow, trying to ignore the way my stomach twists at the thought. What could she possibly want from me?4:59 PM.A customer approaches, and I force a polite smile, quickly ringing up their order. The moment I hand them their receipt, I strip off my apron, hurriedly stuff it under the counter, and grab my bag.5:00 PM on the dot.I waste no time pushing through the door, stepping out onto the street. The air is crisp, and streets over, a small café comes into view, the one Eleanor had mentioned earlier.My heart pounds as I gingerl

(Gabriel) A dull persistent throbbing pounded at the back of my skull.I pinched the bridge of my nose, exhaling slowly, but the headache doesn’t ease. That last drink at the club was a mistake, hell, going at all was a mistake. I don’t even remember why I agreed in the first place. Roan had been talking about some merger celebration and I’d let him drag me into it, and now I’m paying for it.I rubbed a hand down my face, then reached for my coffee. It’s gone cold, but I drink it anyway, welcoming the bitterness. My laptop screen blurred for a second before coming back into focus, an huge amount of unread emails glaring back at me.I should’ve left the club earlier, i had nothing to gain from being there, Instead I wasted hours tolerating drunk executives and mindless chatter. And then, her.My grip tightened around the coffee cup as I remember the woman who ruined my suit.Sharp green eyes, defiant little glare, and the way she had the audacity to blame me for bumping into her.I sc

(Gloria) A pounding headache greeted me the moment I opened my eyes the next morning.I groaned, squeezing my temples as the sunlight coming through the curtains burned my retinas. My mouth felt dry, my limbs heavy, and my stomach churned with the unmistakable regret of one too many drinks.Elena’s guest room was cozy but unfamiliar, white walls, a small dresser, and a floor length mirror that reflected the absolute mess I had become. My hair was tangled, my mascara was smudged, and my dress from last night was twisted in an uncomfortable mess around me.I cursed under my breath.“Alive in there?” Elena’s voice rang from the hallway, far too cheerful for my current condition.“Unfortunately.”The door creaked open, and Elena strolled in, holding a bottle of water and two painkillers like a savior. “Drink, you look like death.”“Thanks,” I mutter, snatching the pills and gulping down the water like a parched sailor. The cool liquid soothed my throat, but it did nothing for the exhaust

(Gloria) The club pulsed with energy, music thumped through the speakers and vibrated in my chest as the flashing neon lights moved across the packed dance floor. Bodies swayed, drinks clinked, and the air smelled of expensive cologne, sweat, and a hint of spilled liquor, just what I needed to forget a certain scummy bastard.For the first time all day, I felt… free.Elena grinned at me, pressing a shot of tequila into my hand. “To new beginnings,” she declared, lifting her glass.Jordan smirked. “To making Ethan regret ever breathing.”I rolled my eyes at that but clinked my glass against theirs anyway. “To moving the hell on!”The tequila burned on the way down my throat, but I welcomed it. I welcomed the heat, the rush, and the way it dulled the sharp edges of my betrayal.And for the next hour, I just let go.Elena and I danced under the flashing lights, laughing as Jordan attempted to show off his terrible dance moves. The music pounded through my veins, drowning out the pain, t

(Gloria)The bank smelled like desperation and stale coffee, but maybe it was just me, and the fluorescent lights hummed softly above as I waited in line, awkwardly shifting my weight from one foot to the other. It had been a very long day, and all I wanted was to check my balance, withdraw enough money to pay my overdue rent and bills, and then head the hell home.When it was finally my turn at the counter, I stepped up to the teller with a bright but tired smile on my face.“Hiii, I’d like to check my account balance.”The woman behind the glass barely spared me a glance as she furiously typed on her keyboard. I drummed my fingers on the counter, already calculating how much I could spend on groceries after rent, not much.“May I have your account number and a valid ID for verification?”I handed them to her. Then she frowned.“Ms. Williams, your account balance is… zero.”I let out a short, confused laugh, and people turned to look in my direction. “That can’t be right. Could you
