The Royal Contract

Then she was outside the door of his apartment, holding tight on to the key that he gave her. It was still early. She was sure that he was still in the office, probably working overtime.

They agreed that for this week, she was to stay with her parents. Her mom requested to spend some time with her before she finally got married. 

She walked to the kitchen and grabbed her phone. She quickly ordered dinner for two and chilled a bottle of wine. She would prove to her father that he was mistaken.

He was surely going to be surprised when he finally came home. "Thanks." She said to the man on the other line and continued to prepare the dinner preparation.

Then, she decided that she should bathe and changed into something beautiful. She did not want to look so ordinary in the clothes she was wearing. She had to look extra special.

He usually liked it when she was fashionable and in a sexy dress. She could not wait for him to see the new dress she bought for him.

"Ouch!" She suddenly slipped on an object that was lying on the floor of the living room. 

Luckily, she landed on her bum, and it did not hurt that much. She checked herself, and thankfully she was ok. She moved and found a shirt underneath her that caused her fall.

"What is this doing here?" She recognized the clothing but wondered why it was on the floor. 

But as she walked further into the room, she could see the different clothes scattered around the area. There was even a shoe on the landing of the stairs.

Her mind started to reel as she recognized the scene and saw that some of the clothes did not belong to him. She already had a vague idea of what else she was about to discover if she continued on her path.

Despite the pain she already felt, her feet pushed through as she continued to climb the stairs. It wandered through the hallway towards the room they shared during the entire time that they were together.

Finally, she found herself standing outside his bedroom, just staring at the closed door, unable to move any further. She was expecting the house to be empty, but now she discovered that he was home and not alone.

She stood in the hallway for what seemed like forever. But at another one's viewpoint, it might only have been a few minutes. She tried to enter, but her hands froze on the doorknob, and her head slumped down on the door.

Dani heard her moans, enough to know what was going on behind that closed door. The woman inside kept making those noises that only indicated how much she loved what was happening to her.

Then, she also heard him. It was an unfamiliar roar that she had never heard before, not when they were in bed together and doing the deed. She suddenly wondered if it was even him.

Maybe someone else was inside, and it was not him. It was a farfetched idea but something Dani wanted to hold on to because it gave her hope. A hope that he was not cheating on her.

"That was amazing." Dani heard the woman said, but the voice was very familiar. She knew that voice. Why was she here in their bedroom?

"You are amazing, Cassie." He complimented back, hearing his voice shattered every possibility that she might be mistaken. There was no more point in denying it.

Now, she had confirmed that it was her fiancé upon recognition of his voice. And the woman with him was her friend. Well, one of her close friends.

"Are you sure that you are ready to let me go?" Cassie said as they probably laid down on the bed after the despicable thing they just did.

"Who said about letting you go?" He teased her as she started giggling loudly behind the door.

All she could do was stood there and listened to them. She wanted to go and ran away. But she also wanted to enter and what. She had no idea what she would do if she confronted them.

"But you are about to marry, Dani. Do you expect me to believe that you will still want me? She is going to be your wife. You will have everything you want." She pointed out to him.

"You know why I am marrying her. I only need her money. Besides, she had no idea what she was doing in bed. She is no match against you." She heard him told her as if he was very disgusted with her.

"But, don't you see how hot she is. Men are drooling over her." Cassie said with envy in her voice.

"Men only wanted what they could not have. She was a prize that any man would like to possess, but she was unattainable. So the chase to have her only became more appealing." He spoke again.

"Is that the reason that you came after her? Because she was a challenge, you have to conquer." She asked as curiosity lazed on her words.

"Yes, and winning her certainly would give me a large reward." He told her with pride. 

"Are you sure that is all it is? You don't love her. You are not attracted to her. Because if you do, I will leave you right here and right now." Cassie uttered with accusation in her voice.

"I don't love her, and I am absolutely and irrevocably sure that I am not attracted to her even one bit." He tried to convince her. 

"You are not just saying that. Because if I found out that you are also fooling me, I will make sure that I will cut your balls." Cassie warned and threatened him.

"If men only knew how incompetent she is in bed, then they would not want her." He said as he laughed at his words.

Dani felt her heart torn from inside her chest hearing those words coming out of his mouth. She never had an idea that it was how he felt. She had been a fool all this time, thinking that his world revolved around her.

"Don't you know that I have to force myself to kiss her and make love with her because that is all she wanted? F*cking vanilla." He said with full of distaste in his voice.
