The Contract

chapter 7 - sista sista

Montana's POV

After the doctors' appointment, the female doctor who was nose fucking deep in my vagina might I add, I'm getting taken back to my apartment. I'm sitting in the backseat of the car with one guard driving since the other one is with Zeus for the afternoon. So it's just me and this dark-skinned, tall, buff, and quiet older man. He hasn't spoken a word to me about anything, he's been driving me around like it's his job and nothing else, so I'm taken for a loop when he's quiet. He hasn't said anything, and I know I'm going to be seeing him almost every day, so stupidly, I figured he would have spoken to me by now.

"So, are you ever going to talk to me?" I ask the huge man that's been escorting me everywhere. He keeps looking out the windshield in his sunglasses as I sigh. I just would like to know who I'm with. I don't feel that Zeus would intentionally put me in danger, but I don't like not knowing who is driving me around, and this makes it feel dangerous in a way.

"You're going to be seeing more of me so you might as well talk," I add since we're stuck in traffic since it's five in the city now. Everyone here leaves work at five, another reason why I do not like leaving work at five, it's so crowded you don't move for an hour or longer in traffic.

"Mr. Montgomery prefers if I don't speak with you." He rasps out in such a deep voice. So deep I've never heard someone speak like that before. He's definitely aged a lot more than I thought. I was thinking around forty was his age, but now that he's spoken, I think a bit older.

"Well he's not here and I don't give a flying shit what he tells you. It's our secret, I promise," I tell him back smiling as he looks out the windshield again. I look at him in the mirror and when he glances I keep smiling. "Come on, you're going to be stuck with me for a few months at least," I tell him as he sighs.

"Can you at least tell me your name?" I ask him giving up. "Charles." He tells me back as I smile. "Hi Charles, I'm Montana." I introduce myself as he nods and I feel stupid, he knows that. "You knew that didn't you?" I ask him as he nods and smiles at me.

"Can you tell me something though?" I ask him as he takes off his glasses. "I guess since I have a feeling you won't leave me alone until I do, go ahead." He tells me as I smile, "It's about Zeus" I answer back looking at the cars next to us, everyone's honking horns as if the situation is going to get better when we'll move soon and they'll forget about it until tomorrow.

"What's made Zeus so uptight? Why is he like this? Was he always this way?" I ask him intent on finding an answer for the man who seems to be taking up all my thoughts.

"I've known that boy since he was ten. His father was my boss before he passed. Zeus always has had a temper and he's always been intimidating to everyone he meets. His father raised him that way, after Zeus's mother left, his dad changed completely and taught Zeus the same thing. Until he met his second wife and had their daughter before they divorced and he passed a few years later when Zeus's mother came back into the picture, " He tells me as I sit up looking at him.

"What's the thing his dad taught him?" I ask him. He looks me dead in the eyes as he speaks next, "To despise women and never fall in love." He speaks clearly. Holy shit, what a father? That is absolutely dreadful, and I don't understand how you could tell your son such a thing. Especially when that son is that young, Zeus was doomed from the beginning it seems.

"No wonder," I whisper back looking down at my red nails. "He treats me like I'm property. Why would he demand I be with him if he just wants to despise me?" I ask Charles. I don't have a man to talk to about anything here or heck even a woman to talk to, but his advice would mean a lot to me considering that he's a man that could maybe understand Zeus behavior.
