Eric looked to Nathan, then to the old Davis, and he said, “I want to take her away in a few days. You don’t mind, do you?”
“She’s just one of my playthings,” Nathan replied. “She’s not good enough for you, Master Bush.” As he spoke, he gave Crystal a look that was both playful and predatory.
“If you want her, you have my full support. Just take her away,” said the old Davis decisively.
Crystal thought they were all crazy. She hadn’t reached a consensus with Eric, and they were talking about her as if she were a commodity- she thought - Who do they think they are, and why do they think they can decide my fate? That’s funny!
Eric smiled and said, &
It took an enormous amount of effort on Nathan’s part not to smash the bathroom mirror. When he closed his eyes, not only could he hear Crystal and Eric screwing, but his mind played an X-Rated picture show behind his eyes. The only thing that he could think to do to make it go away was to hurt himself.After rummaging through the bathroom, he finally found a straight razor. He put it to his arm and drew several harsh, red lines. Blood oozed from the cuts, ran down his arms, and slowly dripped onto the sink - and as he stared at his face in the mirror, his Gerald persona was put to bed.Nathan looked at the cuts, and he was numb to the pain. It was nothing compared to the pain he felt over losing Crystal. He wanted to confront the old Davis, but he knew that he needed to play for time. Only by gaining the old man’s trust could he hope to find eviden
Helen was confused. She did not know what was going on in Nathan’s head, and she felt extremely uncomfortable suddenly. She looked up at Nathan and said, “Miss Smith is also good, and she has a better personality than I do. Many men like her type. My brother, for example, is one of those men….”Crystal could no longer bear Helen’s condescending attitude. She looked at Nathan, and in a cold tone of voice, she said, “You should stop trying to humiliate me! I’m about to be Mrs. Bush, and I’ll be your sister-in-law, so you should show me some respect!”“Humiliate you?” Nathan laughed and said, “Mrs. Bush, I’m just giving you a chance to see yourself for what you truly are. I don’t want people to say that I did not teach you well, and I hope you won’t cause me to lose face aft
When Nathan refused to get out of Crystal’s way, she tried to push past him. As she did this, though, he leaned into her, and she was overwhelmed by his warm, familiar breath.Crystal frowned and asked him, “What are you doing?” She hated the fact that when he approached her, she was always powerless to resist him.Nathan glared at her. “How dare you enslave Mrs. Davis?” he hissed.Crystal winced and took a few steps backward. “Wh-Wh-What do y-you mean?” she stammered.Nathan: “How dare you force Helen to cook for you?!?!”Crystal’s face turned white, and she was too surprised to speak. Luckily, Helen was nearby, and she hurriedly explained: “I made too much fo
Crystal was reaching the end of her rope. Tears ran down her eyes, and she wiped them away with her sleeve. “Is there anything that I can do to change your mind?” she begged.Nathan met her eyes, and a shark-like Cheshire grin appeared on his face. “I will give you five million dollars a night,” he said. “If you perform to my satisfaction for five nights in a row, then I will give you the money that you need to save your friend’s Father’s life! Do we have a deal?”Crystal didn’t want to be a prostitute, but if selling her body was the only way to get the money she wanted, she was willing to do it. She nodded her affirmation, and then she walked out of the office. Her head was in a haze, and her thoughts were all a jumble, but she was brought back to reality by the sound of her cell phone ringing.

She went limp in his arms, and when his free hand found her thigh beneath her skirt, she forced herself not to flinch. She reminded herself to - Think of the money.Nathan brushed her ear with his nose and whispered. “I’ve turned you on. I can tell.” As he spoke, he moved his h
The following day, Crystal crept from the sofa, fumbled for her clothes, staggered back to her room, and went directly into the bathroom. Once the door was closed behind her, she looked in the mirror and frowned. Crystal felt like crying. “Nobody cares about your suffering,” she told herself. “So, quit whining….”Without bothering to undress, she climbed into the shower, curled up into a ball, and ran hot water over her trembling body. Eventually, the water began to cool, and she stripped off her clothes so that she could wash away the events of the night before. But, like a particularly bad smell - like that of a cigarette or a skunk’s spray - no amount of scrubbing could alleviate her mental trauma. She could not believe that she had allowed herself to be forced for money, and she hated herself for enjoying it.The whole t
Nathan looked, first at Crystal and then at Helen. “Okay,” he said. “Before we start accusing anyone of insinuation, let’s have the doctor take a look. In the meantime, the guards will lock Miss Smith up and keep an eye on her.”Two strong men took hold of Crystal and escorted her out of the room without being told directly. She was led down the hall and pushed into the first room on the left. “We’ll be on the other side of the door,” one of the guards said, “so you may as well be good.”Crystal sat on the ground without saying anything, and as the door closed, she began to cry. Why does nothing ever work out right? - she wondered - And why does Helen have it out for me? I n
Crystal glared at Nathan. “If you hit him again,” she said, “I will shoot you!”“Do you know what you are doing?” Nathan asked. He tried to grab the gun from her, but she stepped backward - she didn’t shoot.Nor will she - thought Nathan as he stood up and stepped toward her.Crystal didn’t give him another warning. Instead, she lowered the gun, aimed at his left thigh, and fired. The sound of the blast was deafening, and everyone’s ears began to ring. The attack barely slowed Nathan, though. He stumbled backward a step, but once he recovered his balance, he resumed his approach.Crystal adjusted her aim and shot him in his right leg. This shot brought him to his knees.
