The Offer That Changed Everything

Amy Pov
“I want you to seduce my husband and get him to sleep with you, and I will give you one hundred thousand dollars.”
I froze. My eyes opened wide. I wasn’t sure I heard her right.
“Ma’am… what?” I asked quietly.
“One hundred thousand dollars. You heard me clearly. Evelyn Parker said.
For a moment, I couldn't even breathe. but stared at Evelyn Parker like she had lost her mind. My stomach tightened and I took a step back. “Why would you say that to me? What do you take me for?”
“You need money, don’t you?” Evelyn asked.
“That doesn’t mean I’ll do something like this,” I snapped back. “I’m not a prostitute. I’m not doing this.”
Evelyn tilted her head. “Your mother needs surgery. You need money to fly her out of the country. You need Dr Mark Morgan. Isn’t that what the doctor told you?”
My chest tightened. “How do you know that?”
“I know many things,” Evelyn replied. “Answer the question. Don’t you need the money?”
I swallowed hard. “Of course I do… but not like this. I’m a woman of integrity. I cannot just… I can’t do this. I can’t give my body to someone for money.”
Evelyn stepped closer. “If you agree, you will not only get the money. I will arrange your mother’s flight. I will speak directly to Dr Morgan. Your mother will be treated and she will live.”
The offer…it felt irresistible, I needed Dr Mark Morgan. He is the only man who could save my mother but I also couldn't bring myself to sleep with a man. I clenched my hand and bit my lower lip.
Evelyn saw the change in my eyes and leaned in slightly. “All you have to do is one thing. Make James Harrington sleep with you. Everything else is my responsibility.”
I swallowed hard. “Why me?”
Because he will not suspect you, Evelyn said simply. “You look young and innocent. He will fall for it easily and that's exactly what I need.”
I looked away, blinking fast as my mother’s face flashed in my mind. “This is wrong, I muttered to myself.
“So is watching your mother die when you could save her,” Evelyn answered.
The ball is in your court, little Amy. Your mother’s life or your pride. “DECIDE”.
My legs felt weak. I rubbed my palms together, trying to steady myself. “I’m only doing this to save my mom.”
“That’s all that matters,” Evelyn said with a dark grin. “Come with me.”
…….
Evelyn took me straight to a private spa behind the hotel. Two girls in matching uniforms stepped forward immediately.
“Take her in,” Evelyn instructed.
“Yes, ma’am.”
They gave me a warm bath, washed my hair, scrubbed my skin with something that smelled like honey and milk. I didn’t know the name, but it felt expensive. My skin tingled afterward, soft and unfamiliar.
When I stood in front of the mirror afterward, I almost didn’t recognize myself. My skin looked clearer. My hair looked neat and I looked… different.
Evelyn walked in, her eyes widening a little. “Oh my God… look at you. You look gorgeous. Hot.” She paused, her lips curving into a slow, satisfied smile. “Sexy, little Amy.”
I swallowed hard and turned my face away. I didn’t say a word. I didn’t like any of this, but I didn’t have a choice.
A girl handed Evelyn a small white box. She opened it and brought out red lingerie. It was delicate, thin and almost transparent.
“You will wear this,” Evelyn said.
I held it with shaky fingers. “This is… this is too much.”
“It’s perfect,” she replied. Let's go.
…..
We walked back into the hotel through the staff corridor. I followed quietly, my heart pounding.
Evelyn stopped in front of Room 901.
“This is James’s suite,” she said.
Her lips pulled into a slow smirk. “James can be a tough one to deal with, but I’m sure he won’t resist the touch of a sexy, hot girl like you.”
Before I could say a word , the supervisor on the floor walked up to us
“Madam Parker,” she said, bowing a little. “What brings you here..”
“This is the new waitress assigned to clean my husband’s room,” Evelyn said. “Make sure she finishes quickly. I don’t want James walking in on a messy room.”
The supervisor nodded. “Yes, ma’am. And you..” she pointed at me “ Mr Harrington doesn’t like nonsense. You have to work fast and ensure everything is clean before he comes in.”
I nodded….yes ma'am
After she left, Evelyn turned to me. “The room is clean already. You’re not here for that. Just change into the lingerie and lie on the bed. He will be here soon.”
I nodded.
She handed me a box of perfume and told me to spray it on once I was dressed.
“It’s the scent James likes,” she said before walking out.
……
I stepped into the suite. The lights were dim. The room smelled clean and cold. The king-sized bed looked bigger than my whole living room. My hands trembled as I shut the door behind me. I laid the lingerie on the bed and took a slow breath.
I removed my clothes with shaky fingers and slipped into the lingerie. It covered almost nothing.
I swallowed hard and whispered. “I’m doing this for my mom. “Just one night,” “Just to save Mom.”
I sat on the edge of the bed, breathing slowly, trying to calm myself.
Then I heard it.
A faint click from the suite’s front door.
Someone was coming in.
