"I would like you, Miss Walker, to be my niece's nanny because she seems to have taken a liking to you," he said after puffing out the stream of smoke he inhaled from his cigar. Miss Walker?! I searched his eyes for a sign of recognition and familiarity but couldn't find any. Does he not remember me? I felt my heart shatter into pieces, not believing this could actually happen. "Hello," he snapped his fingers. I looked up, hoping I didn't have a distraught look on. "I would pay you $10000 per week and offer you an accommodation in my house to see to her every need. If you would sign this contract to seal the deal," he pushed a contract note towards me. I cleared my throat before speaking. "I would l-like to... take.. sometime. to.. think..about..it," I said quickly and walked, ignoring the shock look on his men's face. I walked out of his office and entered the elevator. How could he treat me like this? I thought about him for six good years, and here he was acting like he didn't know who I was. My chest tightened as I walked out. I blinked back to stop the tears. Fuck him and his stupid job offer! Shouldn't I be interested in getting to know him again? I couldn't believe Asher acted like that to me. Like I was nothing but a mere business deal to be sealed. Why me?! ^__^__^__^__^ This is just not a story between the rich and the poor. Billionaire and an average girl! It's Love vs. Hatred! Revenge vs. Denial! Light vs. Darkness! Agony and Pain! Six years have passed! Stephanie Walker kept holding on to the hope that he was going to come back for her. She can't seem to forget him. She just want to know him again and rekindle their love story. The question is : would he let her achieve that aim?

He put his hand on mine, stopping me from signing. "I need you to take this seriously. This isn't a game. This isn't a movie. If you sign this, your body will be mine. No safe words, no romancing, no cuddling. I will use you how I wish. Do things to you, you won't even have seen in porn. I will hurt you, abuse you, make you want me to stop, then beg me to continue. "Finally, I will throw you away when I have had my fill. You can try to escape, in fact, I encourage it, but I will find you and the chase will only excite me more, which won't end well for you. You wanted excitement; here it is. You wanted pleasure, you will get it, but reality isn't always better than fantasy. I can almost guarantee you will regret this." "Are you trying to put me off?" He smiled down at me. "I won't be accused of miss-selling. You either want it or you don't. Well, Faye. What will it be?" ~~~~~~~~ Faye has her sights set on starting a business with her best friend, but a decision from her past makes an appearance at her business pitch to a potential investor and threatens to ruin her plans for the second time. She learnt her lesson signing contracts with this man but Faye is a sucker for adventure and still believes she is strong enough to survive Dominic Sand. Warning - Explicit, abusive content.

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine."

I stared at him and my goodness, was this how handsome Don Jones was. Nobody told me he was this hot. He had well defined jawlines, a prominent nose and high cheekbones that made me wonder how on earth a man could been so damn gorgeous. He had smooth and straight black hair that fell on his forehead. I only realized I had been staring at his full and perfectly shaped black eyebrows when they furrowed to form a frown. I stared at his eyes and he held my gaze with those devilish dark blue eyes. I froze at his gaze. What was I supposed to say. "I asked you a question." His voice was stern and caused shivers of fear to run down my spine. "I-I," I had no idea what happened to my voice. His glare did no good in calming me down. I clutched on to the handle of my bag so tight. When I finally found my voice, I managed a "I'm sorry sir."

"Enemies with benefits?" I said. "Because if you catch feelings, I'm not catching them back." "Won't ever happen," he said. "This is purely physical. Call it whatever helps you sleep, Monroe. Don't care." He grabbed my blouse and shoved it in my mouth. "If you don't want the crew to hear how hard I fuck you, bite down like your life depends on it. I'm not in the mood for your begging. That's your only warning." I nodded and breathed through my nose as he pushed two fingers in. No warmup. No mercy. My back arched and my eyes rolled.
