The Royal Contract

She had no idea how she managed to keep standing as she continued to stand there, immobilized outside the room. She almost fell on the floor upon hearing all of those things about her. But she held on to the door. 

She never thought that Nick felt that way. She always believed that he loved her. She never had a clue that he was a good actor, and he was only using her to get what he wanted.

And then whatever happened inside that bedroom, she always thought he also enjoyed every minute of it. But hearing him despised her and laughed at her sexual experience was very humiliating. 

She suddenly started questioning herself, her worth as a person. Did he even love her for a little bit? Did she even have true friends? Friends who were there for her because of who she was and not because of what she could give?

Was she the one at fault? Was that the reason he had cheated on her? Then, she remembered his earlier words. He only wanted her money. Was she that unlovable that people only wished to be with her because of what she had?

A sob escaped from her lips, but she quickly covered it with her hands. She did not want them to hear that she was outside and listening to their conversation. She did not want them to see her current state and embarrassed herself furthermore.

"What about you? Aren't you afraid that she would find out that you are sleeping with me?" Cassie asked him, but unknown to him, she realized that someone was at the door, listening to them.

Cassie had heard a slight movement outside. She already had an idea, who was sobbing behind the door. But she was not about to ruin the moment by acknowledging her presence.

On the other hand, Nick was too focused on himself to hear her. Cassie knew that she could use this to her advantage if she played this situation right.

"She would never find out." He stated confidently. "She lived in her huge castle and the fairy tales that her father had painted for her. She would believe everything I tell her as long as I don't burst those bubbles." He told her as if he was so sure of his plans.

"What about her father? How sure are you that he will leave everything to you?" Cassie seductively uttered as she started kissing him again, making her cries and moans louder so that Dani would hear everything very clearly.

"I have her father at the palm of my hands." He started kissing her back as she started moaning again under his ministrations. "He would not know what hit him once I got my hands on his companies."

"Are you sure about that?" Cassie asked again as if she doubted what he was saying. "I know all his illegal activities. I can easily make him fall on his knees with the information I have on him." 

She knew that once he heard what she said, he would stop and look at her. As expected, he moved away from her and stared into her eyes. He was reading her if she was telling him the truth. 

"What are you saying?" He asked, still gazing at her disbelievingly. If she knew something, then that would mean Ethan was still keeping things from him. "And how would you know things like that?" He was skeptical since he was closer to Ethan's operation than her.

"Don't you remember that I work for him during my internship? I discovered several pieces of information about his company that I believe would be valuable someday." She taunted him with information that she believed would spike up his interest even more.

She also made sure that with every word she uttered, Dani would hear outside that door. She wanted her to know what her darling father was doing behind his goody-good shoe act.

"Are you positive that you have evidence to support your claim about this?" He asked, quite excited about this discovery.

If she told him the truth, then he would have Ethan by the neck. He would have everything he ever wanted, money and power. He would be the new King of this city.

"I am very positive." She told him as he once again covered her body with his, excited by this new information.

She started screaming with delight at what he was doing. Something that excited him more as he continued to pleasure her with his hands and his mouth.

Behind the door, she knew she had heard enough, and she could not take it anymore. She had to move away as soon as she could force herself to walk out of that house for good.

Thankfully, she managed to run out of there without them, discovering her. That was what she thought, anyway. She walked on the street without any direction as she passed several people, bumping into them and not caring anymore.

"No." She kept mumbling to herself as if that should make her mind stopped from remembering what happened today, first, the incident in his father's house, then the scene in her fiancé's room.

She kept walking on the street, having no idea where she was going. All she knew was that she had to get as far away from them as possible.

"Please stop." She begged as their words played like an echo in her head. Then, a sudden screeched of tires made her stop only to realize that a car was approaching her direction.

Thankfully, it stopped just in time before it hit her. Then, the man behind the wheel went out of the car, but she ran out of fright. The man tried to reach her, but she kept running until she stopped hearing his calls.

She had no idea how she ended up in a park and sitting on a bench. All she knew was that her head was still busy replaying the scene she could only imagine in her head. Their faces as they made passionate love and laughed at her expense.
