Introduction

"Tilgivelse er mulig, men du skal betale med din krop." Kreditoren til hendes bror, byens rigeste mand, Alexander Sinclair, erklærede arrogant, "Vi bliver skilt om et år, så få ikke nogen idéer om mig!"
Hun løftede et øjenbryn, accepterede uden tøven og mindede ham præcis et år senere, "Er du klar til at give slip? Vores kontrakt er udløbet."
"Det vil jeg ikke." Denne skamløse, men dominerende og arrogante præsident foreslog endda, "Måske kan vi lave en ny kontrakt, men denne gang skal kontrakten vare i hundrede år!"

Bogen opdateres med et kapitel om ugen.

Chapter 1

På en iskold decembermorgen i præsidentsuiten på et hotel, var varmen skruet helt op. Alligevel sad Lillian Hill i sin stol og svedte koldt.

Rundt om det firkantede bord sad, udover hende, tre andre: hendes fætter Adam Hill, hendes chef og hendes chefs kæreste.

De fire sad sammen og lignede venner, der var samlet. Men hvad var virkeligheden? Lillian sukkede indvendigt og frygtede, at det ikke kunne blive værre—hendes fætter var blevet taget på fersk gerning i en affære med hendes chefs kæreste af chefen selv!

Lillian var vred og angst over denne chokerende skandale. Hun kunne ikke forstå, hvorfor Adam ville være sammen med hendes chefs kæreste. Og nu, hvor hun kendte sin chefs pinlige hemmelighed, kunne hun overhovedet beholde sit job? Hendes chef, en mand af hurtig og beslutsom handling, kunne han ty til ekstreme midler for at holde dette hemmeligt?

Jo mere hun tænkte over det, jo mere bange blev hun. Hun kastede et hurtigt blik på sin chef, som afslappet lænede sig tilbage i stolen, benene krydsede, let trommende på bordet og legede med sin telefon under bordet. Hans tilsyneladende ligegyldighed, så rolig, fik hende til at undre sig over, om han var for chokeret til at reagere.

"Alexander, lad mig forklare..." sagde Madison Blair gennem sine tårer og greb desperat fat i Alexanders hånd, "Jeg drak for meget med venner i går aftes, og jeg ved ikke, hvordan jeg endte her. Jeg vidste det virkelig ikke. Du må tro mig."

Alexander Sinclair rynkede panden, trak pludselig sin hånd tilbage og så på hende med afsky.

Madisons ansigtsudtryk blev hårdt, da hun bed sig i læben og stirrede vredt på Adam, og pludselig pegede hun på ham og råbte, "Alexander, det er ham! Han drugede min drink, udnyttede mig og forsøgte bagefter at afpresse mig. Du kom lige i tide for at slippe af med ham for mig!"

Da hun hørte dette, spærrede Lillian øjnene op i chok mod Adam. Han så chokeret ud og stirrede på Madison, fuldstændig forvirret.

"Er du sindssyg? Som om jeg ville være interesseret i dig?" Adam slog hånden i bordet, vred, "Du var den, der gik amok i går aftes, kyssede alle og enhver og tiggede om opmærksomhed!"

Ved at høre dette, blev Madison bleg i ansigtet og rejste sig med retfærdig harme, "Smør mig ikke ind i noget, hvorfor skulle jeg gøre det? Bare se på dig, du ser ikke ud som en god person. Det må have været dig, der begærede mig og havde onde hensigter!"

"Frk. Blair, du har virkelig ingen skam!" svarede Adam rasende, "Det var tydeligvis dig, der klamrede dig til mig i går aftes og nægtede at lade mig gå, og nu hvor din kæreste er her, vil du lægge skylden på mig. Glem det!"

Lillians ansigt blev rødt, og hun sænkede hovedet uroligt og kastede et blik på Alexander. Han fortsatte med at lege med sin telefon, tilsyneladende uberørt af parrets skænderi.

Madison stormede hen mod Adam i raseri, "Hold op med det vrøvl! Hvorfor tager du ikke et kig på dit eget ansigt i spejlet? Du ser ud som en ballademager, og hvis du tror, du kan slippe afsted med at spille beskidt med mig, tager du fejl!"

"Din furie! Hvordan tør du true mig?" Adam stod foran hende og stirrede vredt.

Madison var aldrig blevet kaldt sådanne navne før, og uden tøven slog hun Adam tværs over ansigtet.

"Adam!" Lillian rejste sig pludselig og råbte.

Rasende kastede Adam sig over Madison, og de begyndte at slås, mens de råbte skældsord ad hinanden.

Lillian, desperat, forsøgte at stoppe slagsmålet og tryglede, "Stop nu, begge to, bare stop!"

Både Adam og Madison, blændet af vrede som to rasende tyre, lyttede ikke.

Lillian kunne hverken holde den ene tilbage eller trække den anden væk, og med et skub snublede hun baglæns og landede i Alexanders skød.

"Åh!" udbrød Lillian, hendes ansigt blev rødt, og hendes hjerte bankede nervøst, mens hun stammede, "Hr. Sinclair, j-jeg er så ked af det!"

Alexander så på hende med et koldt, strengt ansigt.

Lillian krummede sig sammen og forsøgte at rejse sig, men hendes ben gav efter, hvilket fik hende til at falde tilbage i hans skød igen, og som skæbnen ville det, pressede hendes hånd uforvarende ned på hans lår.

Alexander rynkede panden. Hvad lavede hun? Forsøgte hun at forføre ham?

"Hr. Sinclair!" Lillian var ved at græde af frygt, hendes ansigt blev endnu rødere.

Alexander lagde sin telefon væk og sagde koldt, "Gå ud!"

"Hr. Sinclair, jeg er virkelig ked af det, jeg mente det ikke, vær venlig ikke at blive vred!" Lillian skyndte sig at rejse sig fra hans skød og undskyldte febrilsk.

Alexander børstede sine bukser af og rejste sig med vilje, og råbte derefter til de to, der stadig sloges, "Stop nu, begge to!"

Overrasket over hans kommanderende tilstedeværelse stoppede Madison og Adam med at kæmpe.

"Alexander!" Madisons hår var i uorden, og hun havde et blødende sår i mundvigen. Grædende løb hun mod Alexander og forsøgte at kaste sig i hans arme og sagde ynkeligt, "Du må stå op for mig!"

Alexander reagerede hurtigt og skubbede hende væk, før hun nåede tæt på, hans ansigtsudtryk var et af afsky.

"Det har du godt af!" Adam, med ridser i ansigtet, lo skadefro over hendes ulykke.

"Kevin." Alexander talte pludselig i en kold tone, "Tag denne mand ud og gør det af med ham."

"Ja, hr. Sinclair," svarede Kevin Martin, der stod ved døren, og trådte frem for at gribe synderen.

Lillian stillede sig foran Adam, hendes stemme skælvede af nervøs frygt, da hun spurgte, "Hr. Martin, hvor tager du min fætter hen?"

Adam gemte sig bag Lillian, hans stemme trodsig, "Hvad vil du med mig? Det var den kvinde, der forførte mig; det har intet med mig at gøre!"

Kevin lo, "Hr. Hill, det er lige meget, hvem der forførte hvem. Du rodede med hr. Sinclairs folk, og det er en blindgyde!"

Adams ansigt blev askegråt, frygt fik hans ben til at give efter, og han faldt sammen på gulvet. Han kravlede hen til Alexander, klamrede sig desperat til hans ben og bad, "Hr. Sinclair, det var alt sammen min skyld, vær venlig ikke at dræbe mig!"

Lillian mærkede en kuldegysning i hjertet og bad på Adams vegne, "Hr. Sinclair, vær venlig at lade Adam gå. Jeg beder dig!"

I et desperat forsøg på nåde tilføjede Adam hurtigt, "Hr. Sinclair, for Lillians skyld, som arbejder for dig, vær venlig at skåne mig!" Efter en kort pause udbrød han i desperation, "Hr. Sinclair, hvis du søger hævn, hvad med Lillian? Hun er sød og smuk, og hun kunne være din kæreste!"

"Adam!" Lillian råbte chokeret over hans ord, "Er du blevet sindssyg? Hvad snakker du om?"

Hun vendte sig derefter mod Alexander og forsøgte nervøst at forklare, "Hr. Sinclair, vær venlig ikke at blive vred. Adam taler bare uden at tænke. Hvilken som helst kompensation du ønsker, vi vil ikke modsige os!"

Alexander lod et lavt grin slippe ud, mens han absentmindedly pillede ved sin manchetknap og sagde afslappet, "Lad os følge Adams forslag så."

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.
