CHAPTER SIX: THE CONTRACT 1
Entering George’s apartment, he
inquired about the new place. I avoided his
question, immersing myself in thoughts.
Shedding my jacket, I lit a cigarette,
contemplating how winning Lacey wouldn’t be
as straightforward as I had presumed.
Pulling out the drawer, I light some cigarettes
then take off my jacket, acting this sweet and
kind is also not part of me, I don’t fool around
with women? I go straight and take wh@tëver I
want from them and mostly is sëx.
” Arthur”
It’s quite easy to know that making lacey fall for
me, or let me touch her will be difficult, I just
need to think about something that will make
me have full control over her, if we were in the
ancient days, buying her will be quite easy.
“Arthur,” George called, attempting to break my
reverie.
Navigating the complexities of making Lacey
succvmb to me proved challenging. My usual
direct approach with women, focusing on
immediate desires, wouldn’t work this time.
George’s hand rested on my shoulder, pulling
me from my thoughts. “Are you okay?” he
inquired.
“Did you find anything about Lacey’s father?” I
questioned, changing the subject.
“Yes,” George responded, placing a file on the
couch. “He’s involved in drugs, and I have
evidence of his criminal activities. He’s also
connected to his son’s death.”
“Releasing this information could severely
impact his company,” I mused. ” Am sure you
have done just that ”
“Yes,” George affirmed. “Investors are pulling
out, and the police are reopening investigations.
”
“Good,” I said, acknowledging his efforts. “Have
you scheduled the meeting with him?”
“Yes, tomorrow morning,” George confirmed.
“Mr. William will meet you for coffee.”
“Why am I doing this?” he queried.
“I realized I can’t win her over with conventional
dates,” I admitted, taking a drag from my
cigarette. “I’ll do things my way.”
“What’s your plan?” George asked.
“Nothing much,” I replied, folding my arms. “Did I
tell you to buy a building?”
“You did,” he chuckled. “This building, so I won’t
have to pay rent anymore.”
“Now I’m your landlord,” I teased.
“And my best friend,” he added.
“Just go to the grocery store and get some
yogurt,” I instructed. “I’ll cook something up.”
“You’ll cook?” George raised an eyebrow.
“Something’s bothering you. You only cook
when you’re stuck.”
“Stop speaking nonsense and go,” I retorted,
watching him leave.
Entering the kitchen, I turned on the stove,
prepared the pot, and began boiling spaghetti.
My thoughts drifted to Lacey’s inexplicable
attachment to Edwin. What had transpired
between them? Do Edwin really despise her? It
seemed surreal.
Am sure the look I saw in his eyes were that of
disgust so why? Pulling out the cigarette from
my mouth, I drop it on the kitchen counter and
exhale, all these is frustrating…all I want is to
get in that pants so why is she giving me such a
hard time.
But same time, I won’t want to do it just once, I
will want to own her, Fuçk her whenever I want
and however I please….the sound of my phone
ringing alert me, pulling it out of my trouser, I
stare at the name, why is William calling me?
” Hello ”
” You did this? Why….I already agreed for the
wedding”
” That’s certain”
” Why this? You are planning on destroying
me?”
” On the contrary” I take off the cover of the pot
and turn it a little, move to the refrigerator and
grab the chicken from the freezer ” I want your
daughter to become my property”
” What!”
” This will be better over a cup of coffee ” after
that, I cut the call and frown at the knock on the
door, opening it I stare at William ” you want
that coffee now?”
” Yes ”
Letting him in, I had to turn off the gas cooker
and hand him his coffee” what do you want
with my daughter ”
” I want to own her”
” You mean like a slave?”
” Indeed ”
” I can’t let you do that to my own child ”
” Your child life or yours?”
” Definitely my life ” he growl and somehow I
feel disgusted at how he doesn’t care about his
daughter ” what do you plan on doing ”
” Quite easy ” I move a piece of docvments ” I
want you to make her sign this, don’t give her
the chance of reading it….that way I will have
her in my hands and everything I have and have
done to you, I will fix it ”
He pick up the file and stare at it, after reading
it, he gasp ” any confusion?” I ask and he shake
his head ” good, you can go now ” watching him
leave, I shut the door then smile, I couldn’t help
grinning, it feels like I suddenly have the upper
power
Just for six months, I will own her for just that
long….am sure after then I will have my full of
her and move to the next, ever since those wet
dreams started, I just knew I had to have her.
Looking down I gasp at my now huge ÇOçk, just
the thought of owning her excites me this much.
Fuçk.
“Lacey?” Edwin gasped,
scrutinizing me. “Why are you here?”
“Arthur told me you were injured,” I replied.
“I’m sure that has nothing to do with you.” He
furrowed his brows, leaving me puzzled.
“What do you mean?” I frowned. “I came here to
see you and find out why you’ve been avoiding
me.”
“Lacey.”
“You can’t just make me feel this way and then
vanish from my life!” Growing frustrated, I
noticed his face lacked any emotion.
“I told you, Lacey, I only…” He hesitated, “I only
want someone untouched.”
“It wasn’t my fault!!!” I yelled, clenching my
hands. “It’s not like it really happened. It can still
be my first time.”
“I don’t care,” he mumbled, looking disgusted. “I
don’t want to love someone who has been
through that. It’s disgusting.” His words pierced
my heart. “Please leave. I’ve been through
enough pain.”
“Why?” Tears welled in my eyes. “I love you.”
Edwin got up, hands on the bedside table. “Did
you think I didn’t love you? Do you have any
idea how many times I asked you to let me
touch you?”
“But?”
“But what? You let Gavin touch you and then
call it R@PE? If you’ve always loved Gavin, why
date me?”
“What are you saying?”
“Get out, Lacey. Leave before I call the nurse.”
The hatred in his eyes made me retreat. I walked
out of his room and the hospital, called a taxi.
All I could think of was the look in his eyes, the
way he stare at me, how much he h@tëd me, I
always knew Edwin fantasy, he always say that
he was glad I was untouched. He loved the idea
of him being my first.
What happened wasn’t my fault, it wasn’t in my
control, I didn’t want that to happen…..no body
wished to be R@PED, at least not on their first
time. Tears swell in my eyes but I refuse to let it
fall.
Arriving home, I found my father in the living
room. “Lacey,” he said, throwing a file on the
table, “sign it. It’s you being out of my will.” I
looked at him, feeling only half of myself
present.
“What do you mean?” I asked. “You’re kicking
me out?”
“Yes.” I stare at him, the seriousness in those
eyes, I always knew this day will come, who am
I kidding, my father never loved me, he only care
about himself and since he knows I won’t dance
to his to es, am sure this is a way of threatening
me…. expecting me to beg.
What a father, today has been too painful to
listen to more from him, Tears finally fell from
my eyes. After wiping them away, I signed the
papers, dropping them on the table and heading
upstairs to my room. Blinking, I saw the
servants packing my belongings outside.
I know he is kicking me out but this is late, he
can’t do this now, where will I sleep?
“What’s happening?” I asked, but no one replied.
Running downstairs, I searched for my father,
but he was nowhere to be found. I rushed
outside to see him handing over the file to
Arthur.
“What is this?” I walked closer, watching my
father walk back to the building, avoiding my
gaze.
I looked around. All my clothes were outside,
and there stood Sir Arthur, dressed in his
customary black suit. This time, his blue eyes
seemed dark and scary.
“I never knew you would actually sign this,” he
grinned. “Lacey.” Stepping closer, my entire
body trembled with fear. “You’re mine now.”
What did I just do to myself? Tears drop from
my eyes at the sight of all these, my world is
keep crumbling and falling, it’s unbelievable.
