Chap 10

The coldness was spreading through my skin as I wrapped myself in the blanket across the room. I couldn't help but shiver my body from the sensation, yet still managed to let out a few buds of sweat dripping through my forehead.

What is happening to me? Why am I suddenly having chills?

I heard some rustling around, but I didn't bother to open my eyes. Apart from feeling weak, I would rather choose to rest because of the pain in my whole body.

"Manang..." I whispered. "It's cold," I continued.

I know it's her. She is the only one who is always there whenever I get sick.

In less than a few seconds, I felt another blanket being wrapped around me. I thought that would be enough to warm me up, but I was still feeling cold. I was trembling and continued calling Manang's name. I felt like I'm not myself anymore.

Later, the blankets lifted off my body. That was followed by the sinking of the bed and a tight hug from behind. Slowly, heat spread into my body. Because of the comfort brought by that, I rolled over and pressed myself closer to her.

"Thank you, Manang," I weakly whispered and went back to sleepiness..

"Daddy," I called while sobbing hard. "Daddy, don't leave me," I begged my father.

I was on my knees while he kept his back to me. I held his hand, stopping him from leaving me in a dark void.

He looked at me without emotion.

"You're such a disappointment, Khrystal. I don't have a child like you. You are such a worthless shit," he said and my grip weakened.

"Please... don't leave me," I pleaded weakly.

But instead of listening, he forcefully removed my hand that was holding him. Without any words, he turned his back on me, leaving me alone in the dark oblivion.

"Daddy..." I called as I slowly opened my eyes.

***

I was stunned when a pair of serious eyes of a familiar man met mine. I blinked twice laggardly and saw what was in front of me.

He spoke coldly, "I will not pity you no matter how many times you cry in front of me, woman.” Then, he wiped something on my cheek.

My eyes gradually widened and I looked at the position between the two of us.

I was hugging his topless body!

I quickly moved away and winced as the pain in my lower back intensified due to the sudden action.

On the other hand, he casually got up from the bed. My lips parted and I looked away when I noticed that he was only wearing boxers. I could even see his bulge down there!

"Eat and drink your medicine," he said that caught my attention again.

Medicine?

Slowly, memories flashed back through my mind. I felt cold and pleaded to what I thought was Manang. I couldn't help but stare at his naked body as my jaw dropped.

"Y-You..." I swallowed the invisible lump in my throat. "…took care of me?" I continued.

He raised an eyebrow at me and then took a shirt from his bedside table. “Do you see other people?” he asked sarcastically in baritone.

My face heated up when I remembered our position when I woke up.

He's the one I hugged!

My face got even hotter when I noticed my entire body. I am now wearing his white v-neck shirt and boxer shorts. I bit my lower lip when I realized that I still had no underwear on.

I heard him say, "It might hurt your thing."

I looked at him in wonder. From his stern appearance, he averted his gaze from me and cleared his throat.

"Your walls were lacerated. That's why I didn't put you in an undergarment,” he informed.

"Lacerated?" I said out of myself.

I saw him take a deep breath before staring back at me. "My d*ck railed your virgin p*ssy too much, now get it?"

My jaw dropped at his vulgar words. He ignored me and just walked towards his mini office table. He took some papers and a pen from there before coming back to where I was sitting.

"Sign it," he said sparingly, then placed the two papers on the bedside table.

I carefully got myself up to take a look at it. I frowned when I saw that one was a contract while the other was just an empty paper.

Only a signature was written in there.

I first took the paper which looked like a contract and then read it. I blinked twice when I noticed that it was his rules and conditions.

One, I should not disclose what happened between us.

Of course I won't! I'm not crazy enough to shout out that I seduced a man just to have sex with me. I just threatened him to get the deal.

Second, I should not be clingy or demanding.

Excuse me? Why would I? Just because I made out with him, he thought I was going to wrap myself around him.

Third, I have no right to complain at all when he orders me around.

I pouted when I read that. It's unfair, but yeah, I'm already expecting this one. It's a fool to think of a good deal after what I did to him.

Fourth, I have to be his...

"What?" I uttered in surprise and looked up at his emotionless face. "W-why do I need to be your secretary?" I stuttered in curiosity.

He corrected, "On-call secretary."

What difference does that make? They are just the same!

"If I need you around as my secretary, you'll be there, Ms. Dagsinal," he said clearly.

"I'm an architect!" I stated. "What do I know about being a secretary?" I defended.

The other side of his lips lifted. “You know how to lure men, yet you don’t know how to act as a secretary? Really, huh?" he mocked.

I didn't speak and just held the paper tightly.

Yeah, no matter how good my job is, I'm just a whore in his eyes.

I just let out a sigh and then put back my eyes on the paper again. They widened after reading the last condition written on his contract.

"Your body is exclusively mine, Khrystal," he spoke coldly.

I looked up and met his sharp eyes. "That's the fifth rule; no one is allowed to fvck you except me."

I was speechless and trying to process what he said.

"You started this game, Ms. Dagsinal. Now bear the consequences," he stated.

I swallowed. "You mean..." I trailed off and closed my eyes. "Are we going do that again?" I confirmed.

He stared at me for a second, and then licked his lower lip. "The decision is yours." He smirked, repeating what I did to him then he took a glance at the next paper. "Sign that. I need your extra signature in case I add something to it," he said and stood up straight.

"I have meetings to attend. There's a maid outside. In case you need something, just call her," Then he finally turned his back, leaving me thinking in his room.

I bit my bottom lip and stared at the contract as his presence disappeared. Actually, the first four conditions are not hard to endure. Even the fifth would be easy because I don't really have anything in mind to have sex with another man. I mean not now. But I'm scared.

What if I get sick again because of his violent intercourse?!

Damn, I can't handle being lacerated again!
