He is Ruthless

Chapter 10: His Offer

Cindy's POV

Wind gushes from the open window. It is cold and harsh and I could only keep my eyes closed until it was gone.

When I opened my eyes, I remembered that Richie is actually sitting in front of me.

"Go ahead. Speak." He says as he sips from his cup of coffee.

"What's wrong?" He said when i didn't speak. He also placed the cup down and crossed his feet elegantly.

"Sorry, its nothing. So umm, why did you bring me here?" I asked.

"There are two reasons." He says.

"Firstly, i want to help you because I don't even have to say right." He said as he looks down on my body covered in his coat.

That's right yea, he doesn't have to say it. By the looks of it, it seemed like i was raped but thankfully, i wasn't and this is all that i got, my dress ripped.

"And second, I want to ask you or rather I have an offer for you." A black folder was placed on the table by his butler and he slowly pushed it to me.

I opened it and skimmed through it slowly.

"Leave us alone." He ordered and the butler left immediately, leaving me and him alone inside his bedroom.

I, on the other hand, was shocked. I can't believe what i am seeing rn.

"This is crazy! Why.. no. How did you even.. god.."

"You just have to sign it and everything will be alright, Cindy."

"Are you serious? This is blackmailing!"

"Calm down. No shouting. I am not threatening you or anyone. That's just an offer." He says as he smiles.

"Are you crazy?! Obviously you're blackmailing me rn!"

"I. said. no. shouting."

He slammed his fists hard on the table. His eyes looked bloodshot red.

"I-im sorry...." I apologized.

He sighed and leaned on his chair as he fixes his hair.

"Umm----"

"Don't speak. Get out."

For a moment, I just sat there looking at him.

"I said get out or do you really want me to drag you and fucking throw you out?"

"I am going. Yes, I am out now." I hurriedly ran and closed the door.

Fuck. What the hell just happened...

"Miss Cindy."

"Oh.. hi." I greeted and the butler smiled at me.

"I'll take you to your room, Miss."

It's almost morning and I haven't got any bit of sleep. Screw everything!

"How did this even happen?"

I frowned in disbelief as i remember the incident last night.

The folder contained images of Dwayne having intercourse with several other women and among them is a picture of me and him doing the act.

I knew for a fact that Dwayne is a big shot bc of his family business and i know that they are rivals in the industry thats why it would benefit him if the image of Dwayne gets ruined and that would do a number on his family's company as well.

At the last page, however, it said that i would not get exposed on this scandal by marrying him.

If he releases this in public and im included on the pictures and videos, my life would practically be ruined and I could never afford that...
