View More“Welcome, Mr. Wyndham.” The receptionist bowed, greeting Sinclair respectfully. “My colleague will escort you and your companion to your seats.”“Thank you.” Sinclair accepted the paper from the woman.I stared straight ahead as I entered the hall. The decoration of the room was luxurious and grand. They decorated the chairs with beautiful fabrics and ribbons. The tablecloths were the same color as the chairs, and crystal containers filled with roses and tulips adorned the tables.People turned to us. I focused on the stage, not returning anyone's gaze. I had learned that they weren't my friends or companions. The usher stopped by a table and pointed to Sinclair and his partner's names on the table.Sinclair opened a chair for me. I thanked him before sitting down. The man sat by my side and fixed his gaze on the stage. We came at the right time. The host started the show, so we didn't have to make small talk with whoever was sitting near us.“Without further ado, please welcome Mr. E
My heart skipped a beat. Did I hear it right? Damn it. Why didn't I carefully read the contract? I missed an important point about obeying his orders. How could I have passed up the point about dancing without clothes?No. I remembered it well. There was no point in vulgar appearance. I was a dancer, not a striptease. Sinclair didn't hire me to be a stripper at his club. I would rather die than show my private parts to the public.“No,” I refused.He whispered in my ear. “That's the reason you're performing as an opening act. Didn't you see your partner do that?”My heart pounded. I couldn't believe it. Sinclair couldn't have done that, but I had promised to do the job to pay back the debt. Oh, God. My son would hate me if he found out.I didn't care about other people or what they thought. I was worried about how Keane would feel if he saw it when he grew up. I couldn't bear to look into his disappointed eyes. I wanted my son to be proud of me.“You're shaking.” Sinclair sat me down
[Darcy]Sinclair came out of the practice room carrying a medicine box. I looked over at my hand, which he had bandaged. His work was quite neat. He had probably tended to wounds many times. The incision marks on his forearms were both a frightening and concerning sight.I didn't know what happened, but I prepared to go home. I took the towel to the locker room and put it in the dirty clothes basket. After grabbing my bag and cooler, I turned off the lights and closed the practice room.Wesley waited on his motorcycle when I went out the back door. He accepted the cooler and helped me onto the back seat. We arrived at the apartment and parted ways before my unit's door.I quickly cleaned the breast pump and cooler. Waiting for the pump to dry, I went to my room. I took off my clothes and washed up in the shower room. After drying off, I was stunned to see my reflection in the mirror.My lips were swollen and reddened. Bite marks covered my neck and the top of my right breast. I sighed
Other women didn't ask. They wished I danced with them or stared at them. They would let me touch and kiss them whenever I felt like it. Darcy was different, of course.In the heat of the dance, she didn't get carried away. She outwitted me with her touches and moans. I thought she would surrender to my kisses. Instead, her mind was alert, and her eyes stared at me.“Dance with you,” I answered.“Kissing isn't dancing.” She glanced at my lips.“I always get what I want.” I kissed her lips when she was caught off guard.I put my hands behind her head when she tried to distance herself from me. Darcy pushed against my chest, but her strength wasn't strong enough to keep me away from her. When she bit my lips, I caressed her chest.She moaned, releasing my lips. I took advantage of it by deepening my kiss. Her husband died a few days ago, but they hadn't slept together for a long time. I knew she wanted it but denied her need.I didn't care why my body responded to her temptation. When I
Only Enzo could contact me through my phone when I wasn't at the club. Other employees had to report to my assistant, who passed the report on to me. Felicia was different because she was in charge of a special person.“Speak,” I said.“Someone injured Darcy. I need access to the camera footage in the training room,” Felicia reported. She sounded serious and urgent.“You should have told Enzo, not called me. Only the security guards, Enzo, and I can enter the security room. So, report it to my assistant,” I ordered.“Sin,” Felicia said. Her voice turned soft and pleading. “What happened to us?”I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Did Felicia seriously ask about us? What happened to us? I didn't understand. We were being professional towards each other. Why was she suddenly asking about us as if we had a special relationship?One dance. I only had one dance with Felicia when she accompanied me to an event. We didn't have any relationship or sleep together. She didn't mention the inc
[Sinclair]After texting Enzo the dancer's name that Dustin wanted, I put my phone in the inner pocket of my jacket. I stepped out of the car into the hotel lobby. After mentioning my name to the restaurant's front desk, she appointed her colleague to escort me.The woman led me to a room. She knocked on the door before opening it. A man inside stood up and extended his hand to me.“Sorry, I'm late.” I shook his hand.“You're not late,” Errol said. He let go of my hand and pointed to the chair across from him. “Have a seat. Let's order some food before we talk.”Errol Fiander was a well-known hotel owner who was constantly expanding his business. That ambitious man had borrowed a considerable amount of money from my company. He didn't let me down by repaying the debt on time. I used half of it to buy shares in his hotel.It was the right decision because the profit sharing was huge. Hans' business gave me more than Errol's hotel, though. I knew why he asked me to meet. He needed a loa
The motorcycle tires screeched. My heart pounded loudly, deafening my ears. I almost stopped breathing because death was so close. I didn't want to die. My son needed me. If I was gone, who would raise him?Realizing I was okay, and the bike was still upright, I opened my eyes. Wesley took his hand away from my back. He wanted to continue, but a woman got out of the driver's side of the car and blocked his way.Another woman came out of the passenger side. She gave me a sharp look and stopped at the back of the car. Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, I sighed. They wouldn't leave until I complied with their wishes.I got off the motorcycle and took off my helmet. Thankfully, my legs weren't shaking anymore. “What is it?” I asked, challenging their piercing gazes.Wesley held out his hand, shielding me from Jean. The woman approached me with a fierce face. She was wrong if she thought I would be afraid of her with that expression.“Shut up and stay out of this, Wesley. Or I
I came to the park to calm myself and escape my routine. My thoughts went back to my son and the pain of our separation. I didn't know if we would survive not seeing each other for three months.A woman came over when I was sad thinking about my baby. She looked at me with a happy face with the baby in her arms, making me jealous. Oh. The woman's face was familiar, but I couldn't remember where I met her.“I knew you wouldn't recognize me. My name's Lydia Tonkin. I'm a dancer at Sinclair's club,” she said, introducing herself.“Oh. I'm sorry.” I was stunned. Gosh. I said the word sorry.“I understand. You're a new dancer and don't know all of us yet.” Lydia glanced at my side. “Are you alone, or will someone be sitting there?”“Oh. Please.” I moved my bag to let her sit beside me.“Thank you.” She sat down and put her big bag on her right side. “I should make some milk before my daughter wakes up. She may be hungry.”The baby was small. She might be about four or five months old. The
[Darcy]I put my bag on the couch and sat down. Tonight's events were completely unexpected. I was almost free from my big problem. I could be free from that humiliating job and live a normal life again.However, I couldn't do that without my son. My eyes heated up. I wanted to leave that job as soon as possible. But I needed a job to get my son back. Leaving Sinclair's club without a job was suicide.My friends abandoned me. They wouldn't give me a job no matter how low the level. How could I survive without working? I didn't want to beg or go to social centers. I could survive without other people's pity.Sean coming and redeeming me was unexpected. What was so lucrative about the mayor's position that he would throw away fifty million dollars for me? Had Bridget not committed that crime against me, none would have happened.Feeling my chest hurt, I dragged my feet to the kitchen. I grabbed the breast pump. Sadly, I wasted a lot of milk I should have given to my son. But I wouldn't
[Darcy]A baby's cry greeted my return from work. I rushed to the nursery and was touched to see the tear-stained baby. I went over and hugged him. Briefly, he stopped crying and sobbed.“Do you miss Mommy? You know Mommy is coming home, but greet her with your loud voice. Why aren't you laughing? Aren't you tired of crying like this?” I asked.The six-month-old baby just rested his head on my chest. He sobbed because he had cried too much. I went back to work when he turned three months old. That was the only time I could give him my full attention.Keane was like any other baby when his mother was away, but he had a new habit. After he remembered the time I returned home, my son cried. My little one knew when I was coming home. If I were late, he would keep crying until I got home.“You can't go on like this, dear. I have meetings after working hours. I can't come home at the same time every day,” I cooed.My phone in the bag rang. The babysitter took my baby so that I could answer ...
