Sacha's POV
The next afternoon, I held onto my cellphone with shaking fingers as I dialed Christian's number. I brought the phone up to my ear and my heart beat increased with every ring.
"Christian," his voice came.
"H..hi, it's me. Sacha," I stuttered but managed to let out.
He remained silent, just listening, so I spoke again. "I've made up my mind and I accept your offer."
"Are you sure? I don't want you to feel like you're being forced or manipulated by me. I need this to be one hundred percent your choice," he explained.
"It is my choice," I quickly covered.
"Good. I'll see you in thirty minutes."
"Wait, you're coming to get me?"
"Yes," he responded before hanging up the phone.

I ran into Remy's bedroom to get freshened up and dress. I slipped into a black lace panties and a matching bra. I had purchased that set since my last birthday but never worn it. I put on a mini red dress and borrowed one of Remy's gold heels. I sigh loudly at my very long and thick hair coarse hair. Many times I was tempted to have a relaxer but I always remembered how much my late mother was keen about my hair. Relaxing my hair would be like a slap to her face in her grave, something I'll never do so I grew to love my hair more and more.
But today, it was being extra difficult than usual so I did absolutely nothing to it than to let it fall down my back in all its unruly manner.
I was ready and sitting on the couch, waiting for Christian to get here. Remy was also on her way home so she could see after Judy while I was gone.
"Sis, you look so pretty. Are you going out with that guy?" Judy asked when she walked into the living room and found me sitting.
"Thanks, and yes I am. Promise you'll be good for Remy?"
"I promise."
I scooped her into a warm hug.
Remy burst through the door. "He's not here as yet?" she immediately asked.
"Nah."
"Okay."
A knock came shortly after and it was like if the world had stopped. I got up and Remy took me in.
"Oh, I'm questioning my sexuality right now," she said with a laugh and I playfully slapped her hand. I opened the door, and Christian was standing outside, looking extremely handsome.
There was just something about a man dressed neatly in his work attire that made me admire him and imagine things about him.
"Hi," he greeted, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Hey."
"Ready?"
"Yes."
He held out his hand for me to hold which I gracefully did. I waved goodbye to Remy and Judy as they watched from a window.
I got into Christian's car and he drove us to the same apartment building from the last.
As I walked in, I felt his eyes on me. Maybe he was undressing me with his eyes, or maybe he was just admiring me or maybe wondering why the hell he picked me of all people.
I stopped in the middle of the room and turned towards him. He was leaning against a desk in the corner, staring right back at me with shinning eyes.
"What?" I asked him.
"You just look so beautiful. I want to have you against the desk."
Air got stuck in my throat as I imagined the position of me against the desk, and he pounding into me repeatedly.
"You look unsettled," he observed and started walking towards me. His arms circled my waist and his lips went straight to my neck. I felt his moist tongue against my skin and when he found my sensitive spot, goosebumps appeared and I let out a soft moan. Nothing of this sort was ever done to me before.
"Before we get carried away, I have something for you. Take a seat," he ordered and vanished into another room. I sat at the desk, looking at my cellphone.
"Here," he said and dropped three sheets of paper in front of me.
"What's this?" I asked as I picked it up to have a closer look.
"Your contract."
"Contract?"
"Yes, after all, this is a business deal."
I read through the lines and they were mainly of rules. Rules he wanted me to follow and adhere by or else he could cancel and put everything to an end.
"I shouldn't interfere or get involved in your personal life," I read aloud.
"Under no circumstances what so ever," he finished.
"A blood test?"
"I need to know that you're disease free."
"Understood. I should please you wherever, whenever and however you choose?"
"Yes, you should."
"Be more specific on 'however' because I'm not about to do just about anything for you."
"I'll have you know that you are entitled to say what you're comfortable with and what you're not. This isn't anything like Fifty Shades of Grey. I'm not gonna strap you and beat you with a belt."
I let out a laugh and I felt much more relaxed. The last thing I wanted was to be strap up against a wall in a red room or beaten. I continued to read on and at the end of it, there was my payment stipulations. At every month, for one year only, one million dollars would be wired to my account and I was free to do whatever I wanted to do with the amounts.
"If you're satisfied and comfortable, sign on the dotted line. If not, you're free to hand this back to me and walk away and we never have to see each other again."
I looked up at him then at a pen. I signed on the dotted line and handed the contract back to him.
"Tell me about yourself," he said as he sat across from me.
"Why?"
"I know this is strictly business but I want to get to know the girl I'll be putting my dick into from time to time."
"I'm just another twenty-one year old who's trying to figure out life on her own because she doesn't have a choice but to do so, and there's someone replying on her," I said to him and he was looking at me as if he was judging me with his emerald eyes.
"You're not just another twenty-one year old as you so bluntly stated. Most people around that age are carefree and living life in the moment but you've already got a big responsibility. I take that the person depending on you is your little sister, right?"
I nodded yes.
"Where's your parents?"
"They died. Car crash."
"I'm sorry to hear that. So your friend, Remy I believe was her name, you've always been living with her since your parents' death?"
"No. I had my own apartment but I lost my job and was evicted. Remy came to my rescue."
He nodded.
"I'll have you know that this thing that's going to happen between you and I, it's going to be worthy. I've been thinking about it and I am happy to do this with you."
"I'm glad you feel that way but don't expect a fairy tale ending. The last person I did this with, got too attached to me and created a big scene. If I find you getting attached, in the slightest way, I'm going to end everything."
I nodded yes as I silenced the butterflies in my stomach and mentally cussed him out. How the hell was I supposed not to fall for you when you're just my type.
Sacha's POV"How is it possible to not get all up in feelings for him? That dude is finer than baby hair," Remy said when I explained to her about the contract, which was something I shouldn't be doing either but Remy was my best friend."I know right. But if I want twelve million dollars, I can't develop any feelings for him. He said if he catches the tiny bit of feelings, he'll end it.""Then what about after the contract expires. Are you just supposed to pretend like y'all never fucked?""I guess so," I answered as I stepped out of Remy's shoes and my dress. I hooked up my hair for bed. Judy was already asleep and it was almost mid-night. I fought a yawn as my phone vibrated on the couch."Hello.""I need you right now.""Christian, but it's almost mid-night. I'm also getting ready for bed.""You've read the contract. It said you have to please m
Sacha's POVI sat on his special-made bed in his bedroom, waiting for him to get out of the shower. It was now time for our very first encounter and I was shaking like a leaf during a storm."You're still dress?" he asked, stepping into my vision, wrapped with a white bath towel around his lower body. He looked at me attentively as I got off the bed and started taking off my clothes."Slower," he ordered and I obliged. I removed the straps to my dress as if I was in a slow motion film and Christian was the director. The dress dropped to my feet and I stepped out of it."Leave those on," he ordered again, stating that I should remain in my underwear.He moved closer towards me and pulled me against his rock hard chest. He trailed his lips to my neck, just as before, and sucked on my sensitive parts. He then tilted my face upwards to his and kissed me passionately. I responded as best as I could. Wave
Christian's POVI pulled onto the pavement and Audrey immediately got out of the car when it came to a stop. She walked quickly into the mansion and I followed behind."It's nice that you're finally home, Christian. How was work?" Her voice carried anger."Work is work. What's the matter with you again?" I asked her as I checked my emails in my phone."You're seriously asking me that question? YOU'RE NEVER HOME! I feel like it's me alone who's in this relationship here.""Audrey, why are you complaining when this is what you asked for? You knew about my busy schedules but you wanted to move in with me regardless. You chose to quit your job because I've got money. Now you expect me to stay at home with you and keep you company?""I want a baby, Christian!""And I told you that I'm not ready for kids!""We've been together for two years, Christian! Tw
Christian's POVI gathered the guys in my living room the very next day. I handed them each a cold beer before taking a seat, opposite them."So, what's up man, are we on for the trip or not?" Kevin eagerly asked before drinking from his beer."No, because someone couldn't keep their mouth shut!" I answered and dart my eyes on Tim. He gulp and drank his beer as a diversion."And, my mother is coming over this weekend," I finished and my friends' faces turned sympathetic. They knew my mother was a very obnoxious woman who always wanted things her way or no way at all. She thought she was always right and her favorite line was 'mother knows best'."Christian, I'm so sorry. I left a message and Audrey must have listen to it. I just wanted to know if we were taking your private jet or mine," Tim explained."Look, it's fine. That's Audrey for you. We could always do the Caribbean trip an
Sacha's POVThe very next morning, I was rather nervous about packing and moving out of Remy's place but I knew I couldn't stay with her forever and this was for the better.I collected some large garbage bags from her kitchen and started throwing all my belongings, along with Judy's, into them. At mid-day, Remy came home and saw me packing."Sach! What's going on?""Hi, I'm..ah...Judy and I are moving out but I want to thank you for having the both of us here," I told her."Moving out? To go where?""I found a place.""What place? Where? Why didn't you say anything to me about this before?""Remy, I just got the place, and it's for the better. You're always telling me that I can't sleep on your couch forever.""I know you can't but this is too sudden. Is this about the stuff? Sacha, I'll give you back everything, I swear."
Sacha's POVIt was the start of another week and Judy and I were both enjoying our new environment. I got her prepped extra early for school but that wasn't necessary since the school bus picked her up right in front of the front entrance to our gate.After she had left, I decided to invite my best friend over. I didn't want her to get the wrong impression of me no longer wanting anything to do with her. I'll always be appreciative for what she had done when I needed her the most.Within the time span of three hours, Remy showed up at my new place. I had already prepared hot wings, one of her favorites, and I put on a movie on the seventy inch flat screen television in the living-room."Well, this is certainly nice," Remy said as she walked in and started looking around."Thanks," I responded and handed her a plate."So, you'll soon have your first million dollars?" She sat down.
Christian's POV*LOUD SLAM*I was in my home office when the doors slammed in rather loudly, disturbing me from the task at hand. I looked up and saw my 'beloved fiancee' with a nasty scowl on her face."What is it this time?" I asked, turning my eyes back to my computer but turning a listening ear to her."I cannot believe you would stoop that low, Christian!" she yelled. I looked at her for a quick second, just before she walked back out of the room.'What the hell! Does she actually know about what I've been doing with Sacha? No, it can't be. There's no way she could find out so soon.'Then I heard the mellow greeting of my mother's voice, calling from downstairs. I got up and met her in the foyer."Hello mother, so you've finally decided to come," I greeted her back."Oh Christian, I'm here for one reason and one reason only. Audrey told me that
Sacha's POVChristian's eyes were locked on me and by the look on his face, he wasn't too happy with seeing me on Josh's arm."Josh, can you do me a quick favor? I've left my car windows up in the VIP parking lot," Christian told Josh who instantly caught the car keys."Say no more, boss. Sacha, would you...""Leave Sacha here, I'll be keeping her company," Christian cut it. Josh nodded like a child and left me standing in front of Christian like a helpless infant zebra about to get mauled by a lion."Why are you here with him?" he asked me now."What's wrong with that?" I found myself rudely asking. Christian's eyes blazed with anger and his nostrils flared as if steam was passing through them."You have some nerves Christian. I haven't heard from you in days. You've been ignoring me completely but when I show up with a guy, you're getting angry at me."
Sacha's POVAt home, the maids got the dinner table ready for dinner. Judy was sitting, playing on her iPad and was attending to Champion, the baby. My husband wasn't home as yet and I patiently awaiting his arrival.When dinner was being served, Christian came. He freshened up quickly before joining us in the dinning room."Hey beautiful. How was your day today?" he asked me with a quick kiss on the lips."Entertaining," I answered."Nice. And Judy, how was your day?""As usual," she answered."Judy, we're about to have dinner. Put the iPad away," I instructed to my kid sister who was getting as tall as I was."Sorry," she apologized and complied.______After dinner, I put Champion to bed and I got freshen up. Entering into the bedroom, Christian pulled me into his arms but I hesitated."Is something wrong?" he asked me."Everythin
Sacha's POVLife was good. After Christian and I got married and moved into his mansion to create our family, I did some self- reflection.I was happy to be with someone who cared about me although the circumstances surrounding how we met and got involved were not one of the best.~It was a new week and I was looking forward to taking the baby out for a morning walk.Judy had left for school and Christian had left for work. The maids were doing chores around the house.I placed our son into a stroller and we left. I loved the neighborhood. Lush, tall trees lined the roadway. Everyone's property was well kept, the lawns and bushes were trimmed and shaped neatly, the air was cleaned and so was the streets."Hey, good morning, Sacha," a voice behind me greeted.I looked and saw my next door neighbor jogging up to me."Hi Esme," I answered."And hi baby," she sai
Sacha's POVAfter accepting Christian's proposal to marry him, my kid sister and myself moved into his extraordinary mansion.I was so thrilled to be 'at home' with him finally. He was always present in my and Judy's life. And he was extra excited in becoming a father. He never missed an OBGYN appointment.Judy regained full usage of her legs and she no longer had to use a wheelchair to get around. She told me exercising was now her favorite thing to do and that one day she wanted to own a gym.You Go Girl! Dreams are meant to be conquered.As for motherhood, it came all too instantly.

Sacha's POV"Sacha, you have that look in your eyes. Don't do anything crazy," Josh cautioned."Josh, I just found out I've been best friends with a snake. A cobra that's spitting venom on my life to tarnish me. What have I ever done to Remy to deserve this betrayal AGAIN?" I lashed out.I shouldn't be taking my anger out on Josh. He didn't deserve it but I was hormonal and I wanted Remy's head on a platter."I understand your pain. She's the cause for.....""She's the cause of everything falling apart from around me," I cut Josh off and finished.He nodded in agreement and sat down beside me on the couch. Remy would be home any minute now and I couldn't wait for her to walk through the door.We sat in silence until I heard the door being opened and Remy walked in.As if possessed, I heaved myself off
Sacha's POVI couldn't visit Judy without seeing Christian as well. Although he was still in a coma and no telling when he'll wake up, I still wanted to be close to him.I sat next to him quietly as I observed his motionless form. Memories flooded my mind.The first time I saw him at the club.When he pulled up and offered me a ride home.When he took my virginity away and used the term 'make love' instead of 'fuck'.The times when I talked to him about my troubles and he gave me his entire Summer house that looks more like a freaking mansion."You have to wake up," I whispered in his ears as I held his hand.And then I felt it. I felt his fingers wrapping around mine and a firmed hold occurred.Happy tears slipped from my eyes as his eyes star
Sacha's POVI was glad to have Remy in my corner like a time like this. I needed my best friend back and I had her.After hours at the hospital, after down pour of tears and after I threw my hormonal tantrums, I was at home resting on my favorite couch.I mind instantly went back to Christian. He had me on this couch just some hours ago, kissing me and holding me in his strong arms.I exhaled heavily. No matter how much I tried to calm myself, my mind would visit memories of him or my little sister and I would get angry all over again.I reached for a vase and smashed it and screamed with rage and pure anger."Sacha," Remy said."I needed to let that out, Remy.""How about we try to take your mind off what happened?""How? Huh? How are you going to do that when my life is practic
Sacha's POVI simultaneously glanced at the clock again and tried Christian's number for the thousandth time.It wasn't like him to ignore my calls when he was out with my little sister."Hey," Remy said, walking into the living room area to join me."Hi," I answered coldly."What's wrong?" she asked, looking as I removed the phone from my ear to no avail of getting Christian."Something is wrong. I have this pit feeling that something is wrong with Christian and my sister.""Oh, come on Sacha. He took her to the doctor. What can possibly go wrong? His phone is probably in the car and he's with Judy, spoiling her with shopping and stuff.""No. Judy isn't well. I don't believe he'll take her shopping after the doctor.""Well, maybe they went to get a bite to eat. Don't worry yourself too muc
Sacha's POV "Christian? What are you doing here?" I was shell-shocked. He was there, right in front of me, smiling but panting as if he had been running laps around the world. "You." He came closer to me, our lips barely an inch apart. He cupped my face between the palms of his hands and looked right into my eyes. "You're all I need. I needed you before. I need you right now. I need you forever," he whispered in my ear before kissing me on the cheek. "But... But... Your wedding, your fiancee," I stuttered. "That is over with. All I need is you Sacha. I want to have a family with you. I want us to to raise our child together and I want to be there for Judy. She's a great kid." Happy tears slipped out my eyes. I must be dreaming. I've been too obsessed with Christian Alexander that it reaches to a point where I was imagining him confessing his feelings to me on the
Sacha's POVI allowed Remy to crash at Christian's summer house while she grieved and I silently coped with the heartbreak from not having Christian in my life.It was Saturday. The day of Christian's wedding. There was to be a live stream on the whole event and I had logged on to view it. I wanted what was best for him and to see him happy even if that meant seeing him married someone else."Hey, good morning," Remy greeted me when she saw me sitting by myself on the patio close to the outdoor swimming pool."Good morning," I answered and tried hard to cover the sorrow in my voice."What are you doing?""Oh, umm, watching the early preparation for the wedding.""What? Sacha, no. You can't be doing this to yourself," she said and took my cellphone away and turned off the live streaming."Christian made his choice. You just need to accept that and mo
