contractual bond 🔏

Chapter 3

The next morning, Erin woke up in her bed with a headache. She barely remembers the events from last night and it really wasn't coming to her. "Man, I partied a little too hard . I completely forgot I have work." She got dressed and then brushed her teeth, getting ready for the day. She walked downstairs, scrolling through her phone. She laughed at some pictures from last night. When she walked into the kitchen, her brother was making hangover soup.

"Did you get drunk too?" She asked, sitting down. "Not really. I had to drive ourselves home so I avoided a drink." He chuckled and placed all the god in front of her. They ate without saying a word. All of a sudden, Airi's phone started going off. Looking at her notifications, she was tagged in a bunch of pics and comments. She unlocked her phone and looked at the picture she was being tagged.

She spit out water as soon as she saw the photo. It was a photo of her and Kaiba from last night, she was leaning against him and it looked intimate. There was a couple other photos too. "You okay there? What happened?" He asked and she shook her head. "Nothing, my bad." She looked through the comments and there were a lot of negative ones.

"Are they dating? I thought they were only a thing in high school."

"She's such a whore, didn't she learn her lesson? I bet she's sleeping with him for money."

"What a bitch, he's probably just using her."

Airi's mind went blank, she couldn't move. Her heart started pounding and she lost sense of reality. She didn't want to think back to her past, it was too cruel. She started breathing faster and her head was aching. "Airi! Hey, what's wrong? Snap out of it!" Her brother's shouting broke her away. She looked up at him, panting hard.

"Are you okay? Did you have another panic attack?" He asked, walking over to her side. She puts up her hand, stopping him.

"I'm fine." Ryuji was obviously worried, but he pushed it away. After they finished, she driver over to work, feeling a little better. She couldn't get those thoughts away from her head, they reminded her of her past.

It all started when she started high school. Her father had just started the business and was looking for sponsors. He had Ryuji do most of the work and she could always see how badly her big brother suffered. It was very weird on how she met Seto Kaiba. Their stepmothers were close friends and so Airi had seen Kaiba come to dinner parties a lot. Her father threw a lot of dinner parties and everyone would attend. She saw Kaiba a lot and he would only interact with a couple people. Airi would always watch him; admiring his looks and what he would wear. He fascinated her and she kept tabs on him.

Another thing her dad would make her do at parties was make her sing. He knew she had a great voice so he used it to his advantage. She would sing and would attract a lot of businessmen wanting her to marry their son. Of course she rejected them all and went on with her life. That was until she kept seeing Kaiba in school. She was a class below him and was friends with the people in his class. Since her brother was friends with them too, you stopped by time to time.

Kaiba seemed to notice her as well. He saw that she was appearing everywhere and it really irritated him. He didn't like her father and was only keeping up appearances but he couldn't deny that he was sexually attracted to her. She had a perfect body and he wanted her all to himself. And so, he started approaching her at dinner parties. He started making small conversations with her and made her think he was actually into her.
