Chapter 2

I browsed through the contract, I couldn't control my disgust.

"That look you just made is priceless, I can't wait to see more expressions like that."

To summarise the contents of the contract - He will give me everything I need, in return. I'll have to get married to him and stay with him for 2 years.

Should a divorce take place within the duration of the contract, he will take Stone Corp As his own.

Oh my goodness, he wasn't kidding, This was basically a slave contract.

"Now do you understand? You belong to me now, the little miss perfect Felicity is now my pet."

In less than 48 hours, I went from living a perfect life to living a nightmare…

I was lost for words. I steeled my heart as I thought of my father. Without hesitating, I signed the contract then and there.

My life is officially in the hands of my Nemesis.

Joseph didn't waste time in letting me know how exactly he plans on exerting his revenge. I had an idea myself, I knew I had to be ready for hell.

As if on cue, he reached out for my chest and grabs my breast, I did nothing. I could only stand there defeated as hMiss Perfect Felicity is now my pet."

I was lost for words. I steeled my heart as I thought of my father. Without hesitating, I signed the contract then and there.

Joseph didn't waste time in letting me know how exactly he plans on exerting his revenge. I had an idea myself, I knew I had to be ready for hell.

As if on cue, he reached out for my chest and grabs my breast, I did nothing. I could only stand there defeated as he fondled my breasts laughing maniacally.

Felicity's Pov

'It's for your father, Felicity. It's for your father, Felicity.' I kept telling myself those words. Honestly, if I hadn't, I'd have slit my wrist.

"Now what?" I glared at Joseph.

"A representative from the marriage registry will be here shortly to officiate our marriage." He replied with a smug look on his face. Honestly, if he wasn't my benefactor, I'd have choked him to death.

I was disgusted with myself, I resented myself. But in the end, I couldn't avoid my fate.

2 years, I have to hold on for just two years and then I'll have my life back.

Joseph had a representative from the marriage registry come over to officiate the wedding. Never in my wildest dreams, or in this case, nightmares have I ever imagined that I'll be getting married in an office much less to someone like Joseph.

"What are you waiting for? Sign already, I don't have all day." He snapped me back to reality. He handed me a pen and I looked at him.

"Promise me one thing, Joseph."

"Sir."

"Pardon?"

"You shall only address me as Sir, My lord, Sire, or King."

I scoffed at his order. I wanted to punch him right between the eyes, but that would only soil my efforts, I've already opened Pandora's box, best as well reach the end of this roller-coaster to hell.

"Yes sir," I muttered

"What's that? I didn't quite hear you well."

I took a deep breath and composed myself. I was ready for everything he would do, but I wouldn't let him have the satisfaction of breaking my spirit.

"Yes, Sir!" I proclaimed with vigor.

"Good girl." He patted my head like I was his pet. I guess at this point, who's to say I'm not?

I signed the paper and handed it to the rep.

"Congratulations on your wedding."

With that, he left the office.

"Now then, where were we?"

Joseph crossed his legs, his eyes were filled with nothing but lust as he scanned me. I didn't need mind-reading powers to know that he was stripping me in his mind. I sighed as I already knew what was going to come next.

I prepared myself mentally as he silently analyzed me. The 10 minutes I sat there across from him felt like an eternity. He should get this over with!

"Get up."

I did as he said without uttering a single word. It was a simple command yet my heart raced faster than I could process thoughts. He didn't even do anything yet I've already lost my cool.

"Go lock the door." He commanded. And I adhered to his decree.

"Good, now, get down on all fours." He hopped over his desk."

"What!?"

"Need I remind you that I can very well terminate the marriage and contract right here and now, and thus claim your father's company and leave you in a much worse condition than when you came begging for my assurance?"

"No, sir." I gritted my teeth and shut my eyes as I bent down mimicking an animal.

"Now, bark." He held out his phone to record me.

I hesitated for a bit, but I once again reminded myself who I was doing this for.

Woof! Woof!

Joseph bursts into laughter. "Bitch, how does it feel?"

I knew very well what he was implying.

During our college days - I made my then-boyfriend and his friends bully Joseph almost regularly as I watched in amusement.

Almost every day, they'd give him the classic cliché bully treatment - a wedgy. Sometimes they'd snatch his bag and toss it around while I watched as he helplessly tried to retrieve it. During lunch, they'd have Joseph crawl the hallways to the cafeteria like a dog.

I wasn't proud of it, I confess. There's no making excuses, but my behaviour then was due to peer pressure.

Those with power and riches had more privileges than the commoners. I never wanted to do him like that but as the most popular girl on campus, my friends would tell me that I should exert my dominance over the minority.

It was foolish and I truly regretted it.
