Arrangement without return (Reader x Black hat)

44. Broken contract?

I couldn't sleep much after last night. This job of mine is insane and he expects me to master in in one day?

"Fluuuugggggg!!!!!!!!"

Speaking of him, Black hat is still grumpy as ever. His roar shook the mansion. This was way more effective than an alarm clock as I lied there stiff as a board. At least I am awake now. Flug peeked into the bedchambers until his eyes fell on me. His hand kept rubbing his neck as his voice was squeaking

"Y/N ? Black hat wants to see you?"

"Did you have to ruin my day already?"

"I didn't do anything"

Throwing my slipper at him he closed the door. The last thing I wanted is to meet my husband so early in the morning especially when he is in a foul mood. Which remained on his face for the entire conversation.

No surprise, my face showed only one emotion: tired as hell

Black hat announced of Abis absence which I shrugged, "Probably overslept"

"She is gone" his voice was deep, almost like a growl.

"Are her children present?"

He nodded lightly.

"She will be back" I am certain she will return. Her children mean the world to her. Black hat wasn't as relaxed at that, going through the contracts. My eyes widened as he reached out to the pen.

"No don't!"

For once I grabbed on to his hands for dear life. A really awkward feeling was filling the air. He raised his arm but my hands remained on his.

"It is not her children's fault!"

His eye showed nothing but pure disgust at my behaviour. Without any warning he shoved me into the wall. Which was uncalled for as his hands were locked with mine, so how did he...

"You are a disgrace among wives"

"Want a divorce?"

Bam! His hands banged on the desk, now feeling in rage, "Don't try to be cute with me! This is your responsibility!"

He threw the pen in my direction before leaving the room. That when it hit me, "Wait! Isn't the contract invalid with Abi gone?"

"She..." He growled, "...wasn't fired."

Pity, I thought.That would have been a blessing. But it got worse as he summoned Flug. Abis children are now part of the household, taking care of her duties and her previous job. In short: they have to work twice as hard to earn their freedom...thank you Abi to make your children suffer once more.

Abigails...sorry Leas... training wasn't exactly the soft kind she expected. Knowing black hat from their several attempt to collect information, everyone has to be physically and mentally tough. Her decision to become a spy was supported by none other than Goldheart himself and the founder of the safety system.

They watched through thick glass as she has to endure servers torture methods.

The founder looked pleased by her efforts, but Goldheart feared an early mission would be too soon for her.

"Lea is strong but not ready to take on a mission"

"It is not like we send her to black hat right away. A smaller mission to track down a wanted villain. She can handle this one."

Goldheart leaned back agains the wall.

"You're worried about Y/N aren't you?"

He shrugged while preventing to make eye contact, "It is all over the news. Even heroic news announced the wedding. What is heroic about that?!"

"It is more of a dare" replied the founder holding his shoulder firm, "don't let your emotions get the best of you. Stay focused and remember what we try to achieve."

Lea coughed up the water she was dipped into, screaming to continue. Goldheart had enough and spoke to her through the speaker, "You showed enough of your potential you can stop now".

"It will never be enough..." Said Lea determined, ...this pain is nothing like my children have to go through." Another order to continue the founder nodded in approval. Leas head disappear once more in the water.

Goldheart could watch this and left.

Which was impossible for me to do the same. My pain-in-the-backside of a his and locked me in. I swear if he isn't going to open it before bedtime I will break the door. My stomach starts to rumble.
The need for the toilet is also an option to cause damage to his property.

The stupid contracts are annoying. Reading them all I got frustrated at how stupid the villains are to get fooled like that. Until I remembered my own situation. I wasn't an angel myself. And careful? No, not a chance.

He knows how to manipulate others and trick them to this deal. None then less I had to do something to satisfy dearest threat face or he will do it for me.

It took forever to read them all, as no contract was the same. No standard text, they are all written individually suiting the villains. By the end of the night I had fifthy of them sentenced to their death.
Tears fell onto the paper as I signed them.

I felt sick to my stomach.

At bedtime black hat noticed how pale my face was, smirking wide.

"You look lovely tonight dearest."

"And you..." I hesitated for a second "...look like always".

He touched my face lightly before pinching my cheek, "That's my girl."

His grin was disturbing, as his eye softened with something I never thought to see at his face. He was happy...and drooling.

I panicked as he leaned towards me.

"Are you in the mood?"

Breathing hard I moved back, "Absolutely..." And threw the bedsheets ove me, ...not! Night."

"You deserve to be pampered darling" he pulled on the sheets.

"I deserve to be left alone!"

The next he pinned me down on the bed. His face was deadly close, "I don't think you getting the message dearest."

"I think I do...the answer is no."

"I will make it worth your while"

"I got a headache"

He couldn't resist to smirk, "The old headache excuse."

"It is not an excuse when it's real and you certainly have a way to give me those everyday."

He lets go of me,"So you don't want me to be 'nice' to you?" I could tell it took him some courage to say nice in a friendly manner.

I raised a brow, "You nice. As my darling huggy wuggie hat bat would be this charming with me."

"..."

He didnt respond, just stared.

"..."

And stared.

"You ok?"

His face was back to the old grumpy man I know, "Forget it the mood is off. Night."

He turned around and turned the lights off. I did the same in the opposite direction. Slowly a creepy smile came over my lips. So this is how I get him off my back...nice...very nice...
I couldn't resist to giggle, until I heard him growl.

"Don't.even.think.about.that."

How does he know???
