A detailed plan of faking having a stroke came across Elle's mind repeatedly. She shrugged and play dumb " What are you insinuating? " she placed her hands on her hips bobbing.
" Don't pretend to be a dumb blonde? " his cold voice shrilled sending cold waves through Elle's spine.
Nonetheless, he was spot on. Elle dyed her hair dirty blonde because people stereotyped blonde as being stupid and overall idiotic. Shockingly, this man did not think in that direction. His claw-like fingers gripped her delicate cheeks tightly. She shriek in pain and subconsciously, used the other hand to help herself but this beast was stronger. The fake nose fell off, leaving a slim pointing nose like one who had gone under the knife- perfect. The expression on his face was nothing but indecipherable, Elle thought he would be shocked to see her nose fall, it look so re.
Out of a sudden, Chris let go of her cheeks which were not red and had marked. He took steps leisurely around the culprit listening closer to her pounding heart. Indeed, Elle was flabbergasted by this man and his burning touch.
" You have two choices;
1. Obey my every rule and be free in a year or so
2. Pay to the last penny the money you owe Mr Davenport and for the ride, the hotel, the meal, wifi and everything you loaded in that bag of yours. That's is a total of 30000, USA dollars. And at least three years jail time "
" I choose the first option. I want to live "Elle sputtered uncontrollably. Chris was around five circular rounds and his expression only grew colder. Like he hated the mere sight of her.
Anyone would have chosen life, forget about paying the money she would not make it a day in prison. The very thought of prison described by Berry made her shiver. Her face became pale and white
" Good girl " his lips broaden while he gently patted her hair. Though the smirk was only for a while, his eyes showed a different emotion like ... relief?
" What am I to do? " she inquired raising her shoulders to hide her nervousness. She let out a sigh and pretended to be brave " I would draw up some terms ". She regardless acted bravely.
Chris's face darkened at once, his eyes narrowed sharply " Honey, you don't get to make the rules "
Then a thought came across Elle's mind and she blurted " Will you make me your mistress? ". The only fact she was aware of was the stranger was married.
The man burst into a fit of dark laughter " Was this cam set for this reason " he fling the mini camera and she caught it in the nick of time. This man saw her attempt to blackmail him as frivolous something outrageously petty. He thought she was smarter than that, he knew she was faking from the moment he picked her up yet only he knows the reason he accompanied her lies till now.
Hayden cleared his throat and claimed the attention of both. He took out the document ( contract ) to be signed. He handed over the contract to Elle and took three steps back.
" I am going to be your mistress? " she said as a question. She recollected watching and reading dramas about this sort of situation.
" Better," he said playfully handing over a pen.
" Better as in ..? " Elle asked the pen shaking in her grasp.
" My scapegoat" he uttered running his fingers through his glorious logs.
