“What are you doing?”
Gray's voice came unexpectedly, causing Kaitlyn to gasp and swing around with the photograph still in her hand. She had tears in her eyes but quickly sniffed them back.
“I.. I came to drop the marriage certificate.” She stuttered a bit.
Gray's eyes narrowed as soon as they spotted the photograph in her hand. He tightened his fists and walked up to her, prying it from her hands. “Why did you touch my stuff?”
“Your stuff?” She raised a brow at him, “that's my father in that photo! What are you doing with his photo? Do you know him?” She questioned, her desperation evident in the way that she spoke and acted.
Kaitlyn's father's death was still a mystery to her, and she so badly wanted to uncover the truth. Her mother was the one who told her to forget about it and let it be.
“You're funny, you know that?” Gray scoffed, opening a drawer beside his bed and tossing the photograph into it. “You seem to forget the fact that we're strangers. I needed to find out more about you, that's all.” He explained, straining the vein in his neck. He appeared to be uncomfortable while talking about that particular subject.
“So you're snooping around trying to find out things about me?” Kaitlyn questioned.
“You're free to do the same. Please leave my room, you're not allowed in here.” He snapped.
Kaitlyn's worry has dissipated, but she was stunned that he asked her to leave his room. They were married now, weren't they supposed to be in the same room?
“But we're married.” She mumbled, her eyes dropping to her feet.
Gray shot her a glare as he closed the space between them. Kaitlyn could feel his warm breath on her face, and it made her shudder. She broke the eye contact with him and bit her lip, wondering why her heart was racing.
“We signed a contract, Kaitlyn. Our marriage is a a sham.” He pointed out.
“But you wanted me to be your mistress before now.” She argued.
“I told you, that deal expired. But you're welcome to make yourself one of my sluts if that's what you truly want.” He grinned at her, tilting his head in a way that made him look devilishly attractive. She gulped hard and then moved back.
“I told you before, I'm no one's slut.”
“Then get the hell out of my room!” He barked and she rushed out without another word. She almost bumped into someone on her way out and looked up only to find a beautiful woman staring back at her.
They were the same height, but the woman appeared to be a maid, Kaitlyn could tell from her uniform.
“Apologies, Mrs Robinson.” She bowed quickly.
“I was coming to get you. The boss has asked me to show you to your new room. My name is Susan.” The young woman explained and Kaitlyn smiled softly.
“Okay.”
Kaitlyn followed Susan to her new room and was taken on a tour around the house before she decided to go back to her dorm to get her stuff. She was going to be attending college from Gray's house from then on and luckily, it was barely an hour away.
She got to her dorm and met Maya working on the computer. Maya was shocked to see her roommate packing her bags to leave.
“Where are you going?” She questioned with raised eyebrows, turning away from her computer.
“I won't be living here anymore. I.. uh.. I got a new place.” She answered without sparing Maya a glance. They might be roommates they weren't close friends and didn't bother to get involved in each other's personal lives.
“Is this because Tony cheated?” Maya asked immediately.
Kaitlyn swallowed in anger, she didn't like thinking about Tony. The image of what happened was still stuck in her head and caused her a great deal of pain.
“I don't want to talk about that. I'll still visit you once in a while.” She smiled, zipping the last bag and throwing it over her shoulder. Maya shrugged.
“Goodluck Kaitlyn.” She returned the smile and watched Kaitlyn leave the dorm with her bags.
As Kaitlyn loaded her bags in the trunk of the car with the driver, her phone beeped in her pocket and she took it out only to find a credit alert of fifteen thousand dollars. Her jaw dropped immediately, her eyes tirelessly searching for who had sent it. She felt relieved when she saw that it was from Gray. He was already keeping to his own part of the contract.
“Driver? Let's go to the hospital first, then you can take me home.” She said as soon as they got into the car.
She needed to pay the hospital for her mother's surgery immediately. Ten thousand dollars was just the first payment, there was still much more that she needed to pay for but those would come later.
Gray's driver immediately nodded and turned the car around, heading to the hospital. She had earlier asked the doctor to take her mother to the hospital.
When they arrived, her mother was unconscious but was moved to the ICU as soon as the payment was completed. The surgery was scheduled and she left to get some rest before returning the next day.
.
That night, as Kaitlyn sat in her new room, admiring the chandelier and the beautiful porch that she had all to herself, a knock came on her door.
“Come in.” She ordered and the door opened, revealing Gray in nothing but sweatpants and a tank top. He looked ridiculously sexy and Kaitlyn sprang to her feet, amazed at how a human could be that attractive.
“You're here.” She muttered, squeezing the hem of her transparent night dress.
Gray walked closer, his eyes fixed on her perfect body. He gulped, unable to get over how she looked in that dress. She had no bra on, he could tell because he could see her erect n*****s pointing at him. His member throbbed at the thought of touching her, but he held back and kept his eyes up.
“Just checking in on you.” He answered.
“Oh.. but you don't have to. This isn't real, remember? You don't have to pretend to care about me.” She said, dismissing her own feelings.
“You don't have to remind me, Kaitlyn. I am well aware of what is going on here.” He took some steps closer, causing her heart to miss a beat. Bands of sweat broke out on her face, and she found herself struggling to hide the effect he was having on her.
“Why are you so tensed?” He smirked, raising his hand to caress her forehead. She shuddered and stepped back.
“I'm fine.” She said, trying to ignore the fact that her panties were getting wet. Gray was effortlessly sexy, it didn't help that his strong cologne was addicting.
“If you say so.” He lowered his hand. “I might have set boundaries for this relationship, but there's one that you can always break.” He leaned in and her breath hitched.
“If you want me to make you feel like a woman, you can always say so.”
She shuddered at his words, her weak knees almost failing her as she struggled to keep her balance. She couldn't help but wonder why he was doing that to her. Was it on purpose? Or was he just that way?
“All you need to do is tell me that you want me.” He whispered, his arm sneaking around her waist. She sighed in delight.
“Yes please.”
