Introduction

"Tilgivelse er mulig, men du må betale med kroppen din." Kreditoren til broren hennes, byens rikeste mann, Alexander Sinclair, erklærte arrogant, "Vi skal skilles om et år, ikke få noen ideer om meg!"
Hun hevet et øyenbryn, gikk med på det uten å nøle, og minnet ham på det nøyaktig ett år senere, "Er du klar til å gi slipp? Kontraktstiden vår er ute."
"Det vil jeg ikke." Denne skamløse, men dominerende og arrogante presidenten foreslo til og med, "Kanskje vi kan lage en ny kontrakt, men denne gangen skal kontrakten vare i hundre år!"

Chapter 1

På en iskald desembermorgen i presidentsuiten på et hotell, var varmen på fullt. Likevel satt Lillian Hill i stolen sin og svettet kaldt.

Rundt det firkantede bordet, foruten henne, var tre andre: fetteren hennes Adam Hill, sjefen hennes, og sjefens kjæreste.

De fire satt sammen og så ut som venner som hadde en sammenkomst. Men hva var realiteten? Lillian sukket innvendig, redd for at det ikke kunne bli verre—fetteren hennes hadde blitt tatt på fersken i en affære med sjefens kjæreste av sjefen selv!

Lillian var sint og engstelig over denne sjokkerende situasjonen. Hun kunne ikke fatte hvorfor Adam ville være sammen med sjefens kjæreste. Og nå, med kjennskap til sjefens pinlige hemmelighet, kunne hun i det hele tatt beholde jobben sin? Sjefen hennes, en mann av raske og bestemte handlinger, kunne han ty til ekstreme tiltak for å holde dette hemmelig?

Jo mer hun tenkte på det, desto mer redd ble hun. Hun kastet et blikk på sjefen sin, som satt avslappet i stolen, med beina i kors, lett tappende på bordet og lekte med telefonen under bordet. Hans tilsynelatende likegyldighet, så rolig, fikk henne til å lure på om han var for sjokkert til å reagere.

"Alexander, vær så snill, la meg forklare..." sa Madison Blair gjennom tårene, desperat grep hun Alexanders hånd, "Jeg drakk for mye med venner i går kveld, og jeg vet ikke hvordan jeg endte opp her. Jeg visste virkelig ikke. Du må tro meg."

Alexander Sinclair rynket pannen, trakk plutselig hånden tilbake og så på henne med avsky.

Madisons uttrykk ble hardere da hun bet seg i leppa og glodde på Adam, før hun plutselig pekte på ham og ropte, "Alexander, det er ham! Han dopet drikken min, utnyttet meg, og prøvde deretter å presse meg. Du kom akkurat i tide for å kvitte deg med ham for meg!"

Da hun hørte dette, sperret Lillian øynene opp i sjokk mot Adam. Han så forbløffet ut, stirret på Madison, helt forvirret.

"Er du gal? Som om jeg ville være interessert i deg?" Adam slo hånden i bordet, sint, "Du var den som gikk helt av hengslene i går kveld, kysset hvem som helst, tigget om oppmerksomhet!"

Da hun hørte dette, ble Madison blek, og hun reiste seg med rettferdig harme, "Ikke svert navnet mitt, hvorfor skulle jeg gjøre det? Bare se på deg, du ser ikke ut som en god person. Det må ha vært deg som hadde lyster etter meg og hadde dårlige hensikter!"

"Frøken Blair, du har virkelig ingen skam!" svarte Adam rasende, "Det var tydeligvis du som hang på meg i går kveld, nektet å la meg gå, og nå som kjæresten din er her, vil du legge skylden på meg. Ikke tale om!"

Lillian rødmet og senket hodet urolig, kastet et blikk på Alexander. Han fortsatte å leke med telefonen, tilsynelatende upåvirket av parets krangel.

Madison stormet mot Adam i raseri, "Hold kjeft! Hvorfor tar du ikke en titt i speilet? Du ser ut som trøbbel, og hvis du tror du kan spille skittent med meg og slippe unna med det, tar du feil!"

"Ditt hespetre! Hvordan våger du å true meg?" Adam sto foran henne, glodde sint.

Madison hadde aldri blitt kalt slike navn før, og uten å nøle, slo hun Adam over ansiktet.

"Adam!" Lillian reiste seg plutselig og ropte.

Rasende, Adam kastet seg over Madison, og de begynte å slåss, slenge fornærmelser mot hverandre.

Lillian, desperat, prøvde å stoppe slåsskampen og ba, "Stopp, begge to, bare stopp!"

Både Adam og Madison, blendet av sinne som to rasende okser, hørte ikke etter.

Lillian klarte verken å holde tilbake den ene eller trekke bort den andre, og med et dytt snublet hun bakover og landet i fanget til Alexander.

"Ah!" ropte Lillian, ansiktet hennes ble rødt og hjertet banket nervøst da hun stammet, "Herr Sinclair, j-jeg beklager så mye!"

Alexander så på henne med et kaldt, strengt ansikt.

Lillian krympet seg, prøvde å reise seg, men beina sviktet, og hun falt tilbake i fanget hans en gang til. Som skjebnen ville ha det, presset hånden hennes utilsiktet ned på låret hans.

Alexander rynket pannen. Hva holdt hun på med? Prøvde hun å forføre ham?

"Herr Sinclair!" Lillian ropte nesten ut i frykt, ansiktet ble enda rødere.

Alexander la bort telefonen sin og sa kaldt, "Kom deg ut!"

"Herr Sinclair, jeg beklager, virkelig, jeg mente det ikke, vær så snill, ikke bli sint!" Lillian kravlet av fanget hans og unnskyldte seg i all hast.

Alexander børstet av buksene sine og reiste seg med vilje, før han ropte til de to som fortsatt sloss, "Stopp, begge to!"

Overrasket over hans myndige tilstedeværelse, sluttet Madison og Adam å slåss.

"Alexander!" Madison's hår var i uorden og hun hadde et blødende kutt i munnviken. Gråtende løp hun mot Alexander, forsøkte å kaste seg i armene hans og sa ynkelig, "Du må støtte meg!"

Alexander reagerte raskt, svingte hånden for å dytte henne bort før hun kom nær, med et uttrykk av avsky.

"Det fortjener du!" Adam, med riper i ansiktet, lo skadefro av hennes ulykke.

"Kevin." Alexander snakket plutselig i en kald tone, "Ta denne mannen ut og gjør opp med ham."

"Ja, herr Sinclair," svarte Kevin Martin, som sto ved døren, og steg frem for å gripe synderen.

Lillian stilte seg foran Adam, stemmen skjelvende av nervøs frykt da hun spurte, "Herr Martin, hvor tar du fetteren min?"

Adam gjemte seg bak Lillian, stemmen trassig, "Hva vil du med meg? Det var den kvinnen som forførte meg; det har ingenting med meg å gjøre!"

Kevin lo, "Herr Hill, det spiller ingen rolle hvem som forførte hvem. Du rotet med herr Sinclairs folk, og det er en blindvei!"

Adams ansikt ble askefarget, frykten fikk beina til å svikte, og han kollapset på bakken. Han kravlet bort til Alexander, klamret seg desperat til beina hans og ba, "Herr Sinclair, det var min skyld, vær så snill, ikke drep meg!"

Lillian kjente et gys i hjertet og ba på vegne av Adam, "Herr Sinclair, vær så snill, la Adam gå. Jeg ber deg!"

I et desperat forsøk på å få nåde, la Adam raskt til, "Herr Sinclair, for Lillians skyld, som jobber for deg, vær så snill å spare meg!" Etter en kort pause, utbrøt han desperat, "Herr Sinclair, hvis du leter etter hevn, hva med Lillian? Hun er søt og vakker og kan bli kjæresten din!"

"Adam!" Lillian ropte sjokkert over hans ord, "Har du mistet vettet? Hva snakker du om?"

Hun vendte seg deretter til Alexander, og prøvde engstelig å forklare, "Herr Sinclair, vær så snill, ikke vær sint. Adam snakker bare uten å tenke. Uansett hvilken kompensasjon du vil ha, skal vi ikke krangle!"

Alexander lo lavt, lekte med mansjettknappen sin tankeløst mens han sa avslappet, "La oss gå for Adams forslag da."
