Chapter 4

  • **Annabelle**
  • I was in a very ironic situation. For starters, I had gotten all dolled and dressed up for a guy who didn’t even remember me. If that wasn’t enough, he wanted to hire me after our history together. I feigned confusion and he smiled. You know what? He had to be one very sick psycho if he thought for even one second I’ll pretend to be his girlfriend.
  • "Ava cleared her throat sensing the tension between us." This was more than tension. She didn’t understand why I couldn’t do it. She thought she just did me a favour but instead, she made it so much worse.
  • "Can I talk to you for a second?" I tried not to clench my teeth in fury. She nodded. We left Fallon to another part of the building.
  • "What are you doing? Firs, t you don’t want my money, I get you someone who will pay you extremely well and you won’t want have to sleep with him" I gulped at the tempting offer. Being closer to Fallon again is something I cannot afford.
  • "I don’t feel good about him." I shrugged and she glared hard.
  • "Annabelle, that guy in there will pay you a hundred thousand dollars every week for as long as it’s needed. All you have to do is pretend. Why did you give him a fake alias?" She asked, her lips twitched as she tried to figure it out.
  • "As I said, I don’t trust him. I don’t want him knowing my real name." I responded, she looked unconvinced.
  • "Annabelle, we’ve been friends for a while, first you act all weird when I mention him, then you give him a fake name and finally you don’t want to take this job when it’s perfect."
  • She exaggerated her words but raising her tone.
  • "Maybe that’s it, no job can be too perfect, and who knows if he wants something more?" That seemed to distract her. She reached out and held my arm.
  • "You know I would never put you in any real damage, it’s either this or you have to accept my money." She threatened and I scoffed. I battled internally. If I did this, I’ll have a chance to get close to him and make him pay. I’ll be getting paid at the same time. But what if he finds out who I am? I’ll just have to be careful, that’s the only thing I can do.
  • "Alright." I agreed and she beamed. We walked back and Fallon was in the same position as we left him.
  • "So, what do you say?" He sounded so formal.
  • "When do I start?" I responded in a hard tone.
  • "Come to my office tomorrow so we can finalize everything." He handed me his business card, I gasped because it was located close to the building I wanted to acquire.
  • "I’ll be there," I responded, he stretched out his arm, I took it giving it a firm shake. I tried to disengage but he let his linger for a second before finally letting go.
  • "Well ladies, enjoy the party." He offered one of his dashing smiles and walked away.
  • "He’s so cute……" She trailed off dreamily and I almost puked.
  • "Yup, he is…." I raised my brows but my voice was dripping with sarcasm.
  • "Let’s party!" She giggled and we walked in, she was pumped with excitement but my mind was preoccupied with other things.
  • ~~THE NEXT DAY~~
  • After taking my bath, I held my towel on my chest and picked out my outfit. I went with a simple black skirt and a white blouse added with some black pumps. I got dressed and checked the time, it was just two pm and I decided to go see him so we can get everything over with.
  • I boarded a taxi with my bag on my arm, on my way to his company. On getting there, I was directed to his secretary.
  • "Am here to see Fallon Mitch, he’s aware I’m here." She offered a professional smile before checking her computer.
  • "You’re…." She trailed off waiting for me to tell say my name."
  • "Isabelle Jeremy." I gulped as she checked her computer.
  • "Mr Fallon was expecting you earlier. You didn’t show up so he went to his penthouse. However, he left a driver to take you there." She beckoned on someone and a middle-aged man showed up. I gave a nervous chuckle having him lead the way. I felt a little insecure that I was going to his house; I started this journey so I might as well get it over with.
  • I got into the car and he got into the driver’s seat, igniting the engine before driving off. We arrived there half an hour later and he pulled over.
  • "We’re here." He announced stopping the car.
  • I stepped down waiting for him to lead the way.
  • "Take the elevator, first room to your left." He said in a cold tone. I sighed when I realized he wasn't coming with me. Nevertheless, I took a deep breath and followed his directions. I got to the door and twisted the knob. My eyes popped out as I watched Fallon engage in hot steamy sex with some girl. It was like a live-action porn video, he plunged his member into her relentless, beads of sweat rolled down his body. I heard her screamed, begging him not to stop and he raised her legs and increased his pace.
  • "Fallon…." She moaned, I cringed my nose unable to take my eyes off them. I heard his grunt and I knew he was close. Seconds later, he fell on the bed and they lay side by side. She was the first to notice my presence, I gulped and she screamed. Fallon finally noticed I was standing there, I was transfigured, I couldn’t move. What did I get myself into!
