But in her quest for freedom, she found herself falling for the man she hates. She struggled to fight off her feelings and to focus on her life but she kept losing to her heart until her quest led her into a past she wasn’t aware of.

Chapter 001

Christina’s POVThe unbearable ache of a developing headache was the first thing my brain registered as soon as my eyes slid open, before being assaulted by the bright lights of the fancy chandeliers hanging above me. I squinted my eyes but this only intensified my headache, making me wince from the pain as I tried to adjust to the glaring lights. A few minutes passed before I opened them again. This time, the assault was less and I began to notice my environment.I was lying on a flat surface with my legs dangling down the sides. I must have been in this position for quite some time because I could feel the ache in my thighs and my lower back from how flat they were pressing against the surface. But it was when I attempted to adjust my posture that I noticed my legs were bound and so were my hands, stretched taut above my head.A frown marred my face and my brows furrowed in confusion. I turned my head to the side and noticed I was lying on the lid of a piano and it seemed my limbs w...

Chapter 002
Christina’s POV“Breakfast will be served soon, Ms. Bell. Make yourself comfortable, and if you need me, use the telephone on the dresser. It has been programmed with a speed dial and the code is on the paper beside it,” The older maid who I’d come to know as Monica spoke before shutting the door of the bedroom behind me.As soon as Scott had broken the news of my father’s betrayal to me, he ordered the maids to bring me back to the room they prepared for me. I was still in shock, struggling to comprehend the reality of my crumbling life.Tears blurred my vision as my gaze danced around the well-furnished room with a queen sized bed dressed in white beddings sitting in the middle. The floor-to-ceiling windows displayed the city below, with the bright white lights complimenting the pristine white walls. On a normal day, I’d be intrigued and curiously touring the large bedroom, but I was like a lost soul in the midst of these luxuries.There was nothing I wanted more than to suddenly fi

Chapter 003
Christina’s POVAt 6 pm, just as I’d heard the maids discussing, a knock sounded on my door, and I had no doubt they were here to buff and doll me up for Scott’s coming. But I had other plans of my own.“You may come in,”Surprisingly, it was only the young maid I’d seen around Monica that was there. She strolled into the room, bearing a stoic expression.“I’m here to prepare you for the young master’s arrival, ma’am,” she said in a tone stripped of all kindness, unlike Monica. It was the first time she’d be attending to me without the older maid giving her direct orders. Seeing how young she was, it calmed my nerves and made me believe I’d be able to communicate with her and get her to do my bidding as she must understand my predicament.“Umm… that won’t be necessary,” I spoke, wringing my fingers in my lap but her annoyed gaze instantly cut to mine and she made no move to hide her displeased expression.“I’m sorry, ma’am but I have orders to prepare you for the young master’s arriva

Chapter 004
Scott’s POV.I wasn’t expecting what I met when I returned from work but it seemed the woman was back to her senses and had decided to do things the right way and it pleased me. I’d hate to force her to honor the contract but she was making it easy on me.She wiggled against my shoulder, rubbing her perky ass on my cheek and out of reflex, my palm landed on her ass, delivering a hard slap to it. An audible gasp escaped from her lips as I got to the top of the stairs and she stilled her movements but uttered no words. A smile of approval slipped onto my face. I was pleased with this docile side of her.I arrived at her bedroom and closed the door behind me before tossing her on the bed, while hovering over her with my eyes staring into hers. She stared at me with wide eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty, her lips parted and her legs spread out before me. Her long auburn hair was splayed on the white beddings of the mattress, her soft creamy skin calling to me to taste it. She loo

Chapter 005
Christina’s POVThe soft rays of the morning sun streamed into the bedroom through the opened window, cascading over my exposed back and I began to rouse from my sleep.A low groan rumbled from my chest as I turned onto my back, my eyes slipping open to take in my environment. I must have slept well into the day because everywhere was lit with the sunlight and I had to squint my eyes to avoid its assault.I stretched my battered limbs on the bed and another groan fell from my lips. My body was annoyingly sore as though I’d engaged in a tiresome exercise the previous day but my night could as well be described with such terms. Thinking of it had me shuddering but then I felt my core quiver and my lower stomach curled tightly, a tingling sensation shooting up my spine as the memories of Scott’s assault flashed through my mind. Despite my resistance and my actions to keep him away for the night, he’d taken me and he didn't show any mercy while at it, but my body had betrayed me, much to

Chapter 006
Christina’s POVLong after Adams left, his words were still ringing in my head.A smile of amusement swept across my face and I shook my head at the butler’s words. If he thought I meant anything to his master other than a sex toy, then he was so wrong. Scott could never see me as a respectful woman again. I was sold to him by his debtor to bear an heir to his empire for him. No man would develop feelings of love towards such a woman. The only emotions he could develop for me are those of pity but he was too pompous and high-handed to care about my well-being. As long as I was healthy enough to fulfil my father’s end of the contract, then that was all that mattered.Deciding to ignore his comment, I settled on my bed to eat the food Anna had brought because I was sure he was bluffing or acting out of line by assuming Scott would take me to a banquet as his plus one.Later that day, I was on my bed reading a psychological thriller novel I’d gotten from Scott’s home office when a knock

Chapter 007
Christina’s POVI stood still, watching her strut away as my heart shattered to pieces. It felt like a cold bucket of water had just been dumped on me.She was Scott’s fiancee and I’d been sleeping with him but how could he do that to her? Why drag me into this mess? Was he that shameless?Asides from the reality that Scott had deceived me to get me in his bed, my heart hurt for a different reason that was entirely foreign to me. The truth that he wasn’t a bachelor and I was just his plaything crashed into me making my heart constrict painfully. Maybe I’d allowed myself to read too much meaning into Adams’ words that they got into my head.Memories of our evening before we arrived at the banquet flashed before my eyes. So his reaction to my appearance was all a facade? He didn’t mean any of the words he said because surely, he wouldn’t think twice about me when he had such a beautiful woman as his fiancée. Just as she said, I was merely his arm candy. Anger surged through me, burning

Chapter 008
Christina’s POV It was almost ten minutes later when Scott finally descended from the stage and headed toward me with purposeful strides. All eyes were glued on us and I forced myself to smile bitterly while nursing my anger on the inside. Getting to me, he pulled out the empty chair beside me and took his seat, before gently taking my arm and placing it on his legs with his fingers laced to mine. Rage flooded my bloodstream as I remained quiet, faking a smile while wondering what the monster was up to. He’d successfully pushed me farther into a brighter and bigger spotlight than the one Jenny had started with. What was his aim in lying to a room full of people? To keep me from escaping? I was still seething with a clenched jaw when the woman beside me suddenly nudged my shoulder with hers and when I turned to acknowledge her, she had a polite smile on her face. “You’re a lucky woman, Christina,” her smile widened and I forced myself to return it, with my cheeks hurting from how wi

Chapter 009
Scott’s POVAfter scolding her in the car on our way home from the banquet, I was sure Christina knew her place and wouldn’t question my actions and decision regarding her henceforth. That evening, I cleaned up, and went to her bedroom, dressed in my bathrobe as I’d just gotten of the shower.Between being the host of the banquet, and striking up business deals with possible investors, I was tired and craved the comfort of my bed. Yet, the thought of checking on the woman kept assailing my mind. As much as I wanted to put her in her place, I think I may have gone too far. I’d been tired and frustrated and the moment she began yelling at me and stepping out of line, I heaped my frustrations on her.I walked towards her room with the sole intention of checking on her but on opening the door, I saw she was seated on the bed, still dressed in the dinner dress that accentuates her curvy figure, hugging her like a second skin and leaving nothing to the imagination. I drew in a deep breath,

Chapter 010
Christina’s POVThe pain of the gashing wound in my neck ricocheted through me and I clenched my teeth to hold off the cry that was threatening to slip free as my unwavering gaze remained on my captor. His hardened gaze was locked on mine and I could feel the rage emanating from him but I managed to keep my act together. He needed to understand that I wasn’t just a puppet he could toy with. I was a human with emotions and he’d have to treat me with respect. But then, the more I stared into his darkened eyes, the more I wondered if my act was even getting through his thick walls.What if he didn’t care about my life? I mean, I was nothing more than a plaything to him with the extra bonus of bearing him an heir. What if he let me kill myself and move on with another victim? He could even dispose of me and no one would be aware. After all, my father has sold me to him.These thoughts swarmed my mind and the hand that was holding onto the scissors began quivering. Yes, I wanted to end my
