Chapter 1 (do my bidding )

“You have to do as I say Naomi, You have to seduce him and I don’t care how you do it but make sure it’s done” Mrs Stone uttered.

“Ma’am I can’t do that and why do you want me to seduce your own son?” I muttered as I stared at her with confusion written all over my face.

“He is not my son, he’s my stepson and I need you to seduce him so we can make up a scandal about him. My son should be the only one to inherit his father’s property and the one to lead his company, Not that bastard’s son” Mrs Stone replied with a stern look of hatred on her face.

“But ma’am this has nothing to do with me, you can tell your stepson that your son should be the one leading the company, why do I have to seduce him to make up a scandal?” I still couldn’t understand what was going on.

“And who gave you the right to question me? If it wasn’t for me, you and your mother would have been on the streets begging for your lives because of your good for nothing father”, Mrs stone barked angrily which made Naomi sigh.

“Ma’am, I’m very grateful for your help but I can’t do what you are asking me to do to your stepson and my mom has served you faithfully for years now, you can’t use that against me. So can I go now?” Naomi asked eagerly. She was done listening to ridiculous requests from the woman her mom served practically all her life.

“I guess you don’t know that your mom borrowed money from me to take you through college or how do you think her salary was enough to cater for your college fees?” Mrs Stone said with a smug look on her face.

“But ma’am, she told me that you volunteered to take me through school” I muttered with my eyes widened with confusion.

“I volunteered to do no such thing, do I look like a philanthropist? Your mom told me she was going to pay back everything thing she owes with her salary but now she’s gone and you have to pay back or do what i ask if you”

“How much does she owe you?” I questioned quietly while my heart shattered into pieces. I should be happy that I was done with college at twenty three but how can I be happy when I just lost my mom?

“She owes me Fifty thousand dollars and I want all of it to the last cent” Mrs Stone said with a smirk on her face and I just knew that she was laughing inside, knowing fully well that I couldn’t provide such money.

“That’s a lot ma’am but I promise to pay you back when I start working. Just give me a year and I’ll be done paying you all I owe” I said pleading while staring her in the eye but she just scoffed.

“If you can’t pay back now then you have to seduce my step son” My eyes widened.

“But ma’am, I don’t think I can do that. Please just give me a year and I’ll pay you back” I pleaded as I got on my knees.

“Then leave my house and come back with my money tomorrow morning”,Mrs Stone yelled and I gasped.

“But ma’am, I have nowhere else to stay and I need some weeks to figure things out and mourn my mom”, I said with tears streaming down my face but the look on her face showed that she couldn’t care less about my tears.

“So make your decision now or leave my house and bring my money to me tomorrow morning. You have a nice body and beautiful face. Why didn’t you use it to take yourself through school and avoid putting your mom in such debt? I thought you always said you love your mom but you’ve sent her to her early grave. Now stop acting innocent and do what you are asked to do” Mrs stone said so harshly that I flinched.

“I really loved my mom and I’ll do all I can to make her happy even in her grave but I can not do what you are asking of me right now” I muttered as i got up then I said my goodbyes before heading towards the door to leave Mrs stone mansion.

There was no way I could do what she’s asking me to do, my mom would have never agreed to such acts and I wasn’t comfortable with using my body to pay off any debt. But how was I going to get Mrs Stone money by tomorrow morning?

Should I go back to My ex boyfriend, Philip? He was very rich now and had been begging me to come back to him but I don’t want to be with someone because of money but maybe he will be able to lend me money if I explain my situation to him.

It was quite late and the road looked so quiet and dark. Why didn’t I think twice before leaving Mrs Stone's house? I left my bag and my phone there and just stormed out angrily. I was such a fool.

I’d have to walk to the park and stay there tonight since it was lit and besides I couldn’t call Philip or anyone to locate their houses.

I paused slightly as I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around slowly and when I saw no one, I gently laughed to myself as I continued walking. It was probably my imagination.

It was around 10pm now and thinking about it now, maybe going to the park wasn’t such a good idea. After much contemplation , I decided to go to a convenience store that was always open 24 hours.

I could hear the sound of whoever was behind me as they tried to catch up with my steps.

What should I do? I’ve heard many issues of rape on this road and my mom never allowed me to walk out on this road by this time.

I had to walk a little faster and if the person still followed me, I'd run back to Mrs Stone house because she was closer and the convenient store was still far from this lonely road.

Why did the person keep following me? And I could have sworn I smelt the stench of alcohol. I’d better run before I become a victim of rape. I promised my mom I was going to keep myself for the man I eventually got married to. She had lost her virginity to her high school lover and he left her to travel abroad and school further, leaving her to cater for a child at a young age and so she couldn’t go to college and she luckily saw Mrs Stone who took her in to work as her maid.

I started running as fast as I could but it was now clear and obvious that someone had been following me.

He chased after me but I quickly got to Mrs Stone's mansion and luckily for me the gateman was locking up when I stopped him and requested to enter.

“Mr Sam! Mr Sam! , please let me through! Somebody is chasing after me” I pleaded with the gateman while trying to catch my breath.

“Ohh Naomi , what are you doing outside by this time? Why didn’t you go to your friends place to stay cause Mrs stone asked me not to let anyone in after you left”, Mr Sam said with a pitied look on his face as he tried explaining to me.

“Please can you tell her I’m outside and I need her help that someone is following me and I can’t go anywhere without my phone and bag that’s still in her house” Naomi pleaded with Mr Sam.

“Ok I’ll put a call through to her now just hope she’s not asleep but I can’t see anyone behind you” Mr Sam muttered with a doubtful look on his face.

“You know I would never lie to you Mr Sam. I can feel him staring at me. I’m sure he’s behind those trees, it’s dark there so we can’t see him. it’s not safe for me if I go back there and he smells like alcohol”

“I don’t have a good feeling about this Mr Sam, please let me in” I pleaded as I shook with fear.

“She’s already on her way here but be very careful, I don’t know what you guys spoke about but she’s been very angry since you left. I advise you to do what she tells you to do, so you don’t get on her bad side” Mr Sam advised me as Mrs Stone walked slowly towards them.

“And why are you here Naomi? You are to bring what you owe me tomorrow morning” Mrs Stone said.

“Ma’am I left my phone and bag here and I think someone has been chasing after me and I don’t have a good feeling about it” I tried explaining but she just raised an eyebrow at me.

“And what does that have to do with me? You can’t enter my house until you have my money and you have till tomorrow morning to pay what you owe”

“Ma’am can i just stay inside your gates until dawn and I’ll go get your money” I pleaded with tears running down my cheeks.

“You can only enter my gates if you have my money complete with you or you agree to do my bidding and don’t waste my time. I have better things to do than to stand here listening to you cry” Mrs Stone said, not caring about my situation at all.

“But ma’am, you can’t leave me here,it’s not safe here” I begged while glancing behind me.

“Make your choice now, lose whatever you are trying to keep to a drunk stranger or seduce my step son for six months and your debts will be cleared”

“But Mrs Stone .....”

“No but Naomi , make your choice now!” Mrs Stone said, turning her back to me as she headed back into her mansion. After much contemplation and cries, I let out a sigh as my shoulders dropped in defeat.

“Okay ma’am , I’ll do as you say” I muttered with tears in my eyes and she immediately turned to me with a comically bright smile on her face.

“Now you can come in and we will talk about it tomorrow morning. And you better learn to be obedient,being disobedient won’t take you anywhere. How do you think your mom worked with me? She did everything she was asked to do” Mrs Stone said with a smirk on her face while I dreaded agreeing to her wish.

How was I supposed to seduce a full grown man? How does one even seduce?…
