Chapter 5

She burst into laughter, “Can you hear yourself? Do you even know what you’re saying? You want to pay me… to make you fall for me?” She asked. “Why would I do that?” She asked “listen to me, I do everything but you see love… trust me, it’s not my gig and I….”

“I’m willing to pay a hundred and fifty million so you accept the job “ he said and she immediately turned to face him

“Say what now?” She asked, eyes widened.

“You heard me right, one hundred and fifty million for you to take this job “ he said and she smiled.

“I never turn down a job so of course, I accept but mind you, the fact that I’m going to make you fall for me doesn’t mean I also have to fall for you” she said and even though it gave him a sharp pain in the heart, he ageeed.

“Yes, it doesn’t mean you have to fall for me” he said.

“Okay then, if you’ve agreed that I don’t have to fall for you… I have no problems… trust me, seducing is one of my many talents “ she said and gave him a naughty wink before leaving.

He smiled to himself, he was going crazy already!

KATHRYN’s POV….

How strange could these people be? Wasn’t he supposed to be a mafia don? If he was a mafia don then why on earth would he even want to make me fall in love with him? I rolled my eyes after deciding not to stress myself on it. The pay was great so of course I had to do it. Where else would I get a client willing to pay hundred million dollars just to make me seduce them?

What money could not do didn’t exist and that was a fact!

The following day, I’d gone with him to the office and I knew he was expecting me to start my job already but I didn’t. According to me, seduction wasn’t the only way to make a person fall in love with you so I’d come up with another idea.. with this idea, he had to fall for me and that was a fact.

I sat across him and watched him do his work while I did mine but at intervals, I couldn’t help myself raising my head to stare at him and when I could no longer take it, I excused myself to the bathroom. I inhaled deeply before washing my face and then sitting on the water closet.

At this point, my head had started aching and I was feeling very dizzy so I rested my head on the sink and before I knew it, I fell asleep.. right in the toilet.

I slowly opened my eyes, my head was still aching and before I finally opened my eyes, I recalled that I’d fallen asleep in the toilet and when I finally opened my eyes, I saw myself in a room. On trying to get out of the bed, I heard someone speak

“Get some rest.. you need it” he said and on turning to see someone walk out from what seemed to be the bathroom, I smiled .. it was Daniel. Did he really bring me to the room?

“How did I get here?” I asked him as I held on to my head, I was still in pain.

“I brought you here, you’d passed out in the restroom “ he told me and I stared at him confused. Passed out? I only fell asleep.

“I agree I might have fallen asleep in the restroom but then it doesn’t mean I passed out “‘I told him

“No one sleeps for two days straight now do they?” He asked and my eyes widened in shock

“Two days!” I exclaimed in shock

“Yes two days “ he said and on looking at my clothes, I realized they weren’t the same clothes i had worn two days ago and I gasped and stared at him in shock, did he change my clothes? Did he… see me naked?

He chuckled and I think he realized what I must have been thinking. “Do not worry, I didn’t change your clothes, a maid did” he told me before coming to sit beside me. “Are you alright now?” He asked and I nodded but he could tell I was lying.

I couldn’t let anyone see my pain and if lying was the only way to hide my pain, I had to do it… I’d been trained to always hide my pain!

“There’s no need to hide your pain” he told me as he moved closer to me “ I like girls who show pain… it turns me on” he said in a seductive voice and I didn’t know about him but at this point, I was getting hot. Why’d his voice have to affect me? I cursed myself as I looked away.

“How are you planning to make me fall for you if you keep on looking away?” He asked and I bit on my lips before turning to him.

“The longing will do the job “ I told him and winked. I got up and just as I was walking to the door, he dragged me and pulled me to himself and I fell on top of him and it was all I could remember before I passed out.

.

On opening my eyes, I saw him staring at me coldly. Trust me, he looked hotter when he acted cold than when he tried to be friendly and I couldn’t help but wonder why he was being so cold.

“What’s wrong? Why do you look like that?” I asked him as I got up and held on to my head.

“Get up, we’re going to see the doctor now, you need to get a check up done” he told me and I stared at him

“What do you mean by get a check up done?” I asked him

“You’ve been fainting and….”

“Listen to me, I’m the one meant to seduce you and not the other way around so try and limit your care… it’s not going anywhere” I told him before walking into the bathroom to freshen up.

I knew I must have been a little mean but I had to pass a message to him. He wanted to fall for me, I didn’t want to fall for him.

I hated excessive care,…. It sucked.

I could hear his excessive sighs from the room and I inhaled deeply. After my terrible past, I couldn’t let myself believe anyone cared for me.

.

DANIEL’S POV…..

I sighed deeply, I was supposed to be ruthless but for some reason, I still found myself drawn to her. As much as I wanted to hide my concern, I failed at it because she was being so cold.

I inhaled deeply, she was being cold wasn’t she? Why did I have to care… even I could be cold and that was what I would be.. I made my resolve.

A FEW DAYS LATER….

I crossed my legs as I held on to the gun in my hands while the man at my feet begged me.

“Please forgive me sir, I swear it will never happen again” he begged and I gave him a slap across the face.

“It will never happen next time “ I told him as I put the gun at his head. “You tried selling my company shares didn’t you? You’ll regret it” I told him and just as I was about to pull the trigger, he got up and I angrily got off my seat.

“I haven’t done anything wrong. Just because you don’t have a mother is fine but when I try to save my mother without your help… I beg of you, please don’t stop me as I…” I had enough. I took the gun and immediately I pulled the trigger while the gun was pointed at his head, I saw Kathryn in front of me but it was too late, I’d already pulled the trigger and she got shot.

“Ah!” She winced in pain and I cursed myself.

“Kathryn!” I gasped as I threw the gun to the floor.
