Superstar's Girlfriend for Six Months

6. Should I hate him or thank him?

Saint's Point of View

After all, she is not that bad, right?

I was enjoying a soothing head massage in the spa at our house. However, I still had a headache and needed to unwind.

My mind kept going back to what had happened that evening. I must admit that a smile crept across my lips as I thought of how fiercely Elena had rejected my parents' offer. I've witnessed how my parents constantly acted domineeringly toward everyone. Nobody even tried to challenge them in a discussion. Despite his fierceness, not even Danny has ever attempted to reason with my parents.

Even Though Elena doesn't know much about my parents, their look is intimidating enough to make people adhere to everything they say. So what Elena did was actually brave!

I know she is not from a wealthy family, so the money my parents offered would greatly help her, but she still refused. She put her dignity before money, and I totally respect her for that.

In fact, I'm looking for a way out of the mess I'm in. But I don't intend to disturb someone else's life to do it. Elena made a wise decision, so I don't have to worry about tying her up in another tangle with me now. I should leave her alone; that would be best.

My train of thinking suddenly veered, and I started remembering last night rather than this evening. I committed one of my worst mistakes last night, and I despise myself. Still…

It felt great at that moment. Indeed I wasn't in my right mind, so I can't vouch for what I am saying… Still, the way her body felt in my arms and the taste of her sweet lips… Yeah, it was great!!!

Unconsciously, my hand moved to my lips and began to rub them, mesmerized by how they touched those plumpy, rose lips of hers…

However, I couldn't stay in this sweet heaven for much longer as my phone started to ring.

The call was from Phill.

"Saint, your parents need you in the office room in 10 minutes." Before I even said Hello, he barked from the other side.

"In 10 minutes! I am at the spa in the middle of getting a head massage." I replied annoyingly.

"No one cares about that. Come here at 10, or get ready to get a mouthful from your mom again!" Then he cut the line. Asshole!

I was very irritated, yet I did not dare to keep my parents waiting. I have made a mess and don't want any more trouble.

**************************

In less than ten minutes, I was in the office room. My parents, Kyle, Jaden, Phill, and Danny, had already arrived. But my eyes widened in shock as I noticed the next person seated next to the table.

Elena! What in the world is she doing here again?

"Saint, please sit down." While I was still fixated on Elena, Danny remarked.

I kept my eyes on her as I sat down in a chair. She was looking down. She had a flushed appearance, and I could see that she was clenching her fingers in an effort to calm herself down.

"Saint… "

My mother started to talk.

"We can stick to our original plan. Ms Elena has agreed to help us."

What? She agreed to help? What the fu**!!!

Didn't she make a scene here and leave just a few hours earlier. So how could she change her mind now? What about the dignity she was so worried about?

"We changed our offer to Ms Elena at her request. We don't have an issue with money after all. "Mom stated while addressing Elena. She continued to speak in a mocking tone.

Neither did Elena speak nor even raise her head.

However, mom's words were enough to shatter the good image I had just created of Elena.

I praised her and respected her bravery. I thought she was different from other women who would do anything for money. After all, she is just the same. She just created a scene and played hard because she wanted more money!

I can't even begin to describe how much I started to hate her right then. All her words and behaviour were faked. She acts morally upright while being a cheap wh*re like all the other women I have ever met. For the money, they will do anything!

Phill gave us a contract copy and asked that we read it first. But I was not in the mood to read anything. I was so enraged that all I wanted to do was slap that bit**.

Women who will do anything for money irritate me. Even yet, I detest ladies who pose as sincere when they are the same cheap slu*s!

I swore to make the next six months unbearable for her! She would regret every minute of her life, like living in hell.

I thought, staring at Elena, who was busy reading the contract.

"Ma'am, I need a clarification!" right then, Elena spoke. There was not even a hint of her stubbornness in that voice. She sounded so timid!

She is a good actress, acting like my girlfriend for these 6 months would be nothing for her.

"Yes, Elena…" my mom said.

"I need a clarification of clause 4.1… What is the level of intimacy we are talking about?" she sounded nervous as she spoke.

I quickly turned to clause 4.1 to have a look.

4.1. Offeror and Offeree should agree to have an intimate relationship when in public to convince them of their relationship.

"Level of intimacy means kissing, hugging, touching, and you know, the basic stuff a couple would do. But you have to remember that you should be convincing. Your affections shouldn't be seen as artificial."

Danny replied on behalf of my mom.

"Kissing… What type of kissing?" Elena sounded even more nervous. You asked for this, b***h! So why are you worrying about it now?

"Kisses on forehead, cheeks, hands, or on lips…."

"Lips!!!" Elena gasped.

"You can't expect people to believe you two are in a relationship if you don't at least share a lip kiss in front of others." mom said calmly.

"We did much more yesterday. What is there to worry about?" I couldn't help but comment.

Elena's face grew darker with my words, and she stared at me. This was the first time I had seen her eyes directly since I entered the room. Her eyes looked reddish and swollen. Had she cried or what?

Well, if she had cried for something, she totally deserved that.

"Saint! You can't make such comments. You have to totally forget what happened last night. Neither of you can use last night to tease each other." Danny snarled.

Without saying anything, I looked down.

"Elena… Sometimes you would have to travel with Saint. So you two may have to stay in one room. We can't let you stay in two rooms because you pretend to be a couple." Mom said.

"What? Sharing the room with him?" Elena again looked at me. I could once again see that stubborn, fierce look in her eyes.

You agreed to be my girlfriend for six months, yet you can't spend a night with me in one room. You are getting paid for this, you slu*! On the other hand, I have no intention of touching someone as disgusting as you!

"Don't worry. Saint won't even touch you when you are alone in that room. It is just to make our story strong." Danny explained.

"What if he tries to do something?" Elena asked.

"Don't worry! I don't even want to be in the same room with you anymore." I said quickly.

"If he touches you alone in the room with him, it will breach the contract, and you will get compensated." Mom assured Elena.

Without saying anything, Elena looked down to reread the contract.

So if she is getting compensated, she is fine even if I touch her! She is undoubtedly a cheap sl*t!

"What about attending all the interviews, functions and tours expected by the offeror. What if I have something else to do on that day?" Elena asked.

"You have to prioritize Saint's requirements in these 6 months. If it is about some life and death problem, we would be able to excuse you. Otherwise, you should attend compulsorily." Danny replied.

Elena let out a sigh…

"If you break any small rules, your monthly payment will be cut down. Since we are paying you a big advance today itself, if you ever break a critical rule, you would have to return us two times the advance money we pay you."

Elena sighed again…

"I won't break any rules. I don't have money to pay you back." Although she murmured those few words, I could still hear her. She sounded so helpless, and for a moment, it made my heart skip a beat… But then I shook off that feeling. She is a good actress, and I shouldn't let myself get deceived by her acting anymore.

"You need more clarifications, Elena?" mom asked.

"One last thing… When we have to end this fake relationship, how should it happen? It is mentioned in the contract that it should happen in a way that the blame goes to me. But what type of a situation are we talking about here?" Elena asked.

"We haven't decided yet. Most probably a situation like you cheating on Saint and sleeping with another man." Danny replied.

"What?" Elena exclaimed.

"Then the whole world will hate me, and they will treat me like a wh*re!" Elena said with a trembling voice.

"You are getting paid this much because of that…" my mom replied, as ruthless as ever…

Elena stared at my mom for a split second and then looked down.

I don't really like my mom talking to people like this. But in this case, Elena actually deserves it. No one forced her for this. She chose this path for herself. So she should take the consequences.

Elena didn't say anything more. She closed the contract and placed it on the table.

"Where should I sign? I need to leave soon." she then said.

"Saint, do you have any problem, or can we go ahead with signing the contract?" Danny asked me.

I actually haven't read the contract thoroughly. But I am confident my parents would never create a contract that would harm me. So I had nothing to worry about.

"I am good!"

I replied.

Then they let Elena and me sign the contract, and Kyle and Jaden signed as the witnesses.

"Tomorrow morning, I will come to pick you up. We will have the press conference around 10. I will send you the details regarding the conference later." Danny said to Elena after signing the contract.

She just nodded.

She took a glance at me, Kyle and Jaden before she left. I couldn't correctly decipher the emotions in her eyes except for the obvious exhaustion.

Then she left with Phill.

"Don't any of you dare make any mistakes now!" Then my mother looked at the three of us and said,

"We won't cause any trouble, Aunty Marian," Kyle replied quickly. As always, Kyle is trying to ease the situation.

After getting another lecture from my parents and Danny, we three came out of the room and headed to the living room on the third floor.

"That bit*h, Elena! I thought she really declined the offer. But she was just aiming for more!" Jaden yelled frustratedly.

"I thought the same. But after all, she is just another cheap sl*t willing to do anything for money." I said.

"We don't know her side of the story. So don't hurry up and make assumptions." Kyle replied calmly.

"Kyle, you can be optimistic as much as you want and see only good in people. But I can't do that. She said she was willing to beg on the street rather than get money from us. But you saw yourself how she ended up." I was even angry with Kyle now.

"I am not going to spare her. I will make her regret every second of these 6 months." I added, making a fist.

"Don't be like that, Saint. She is helping you. So you just corporate and get it over with." Kyle advised.

"Initially, I also thought like that. But after seeing the drama she put in front of us, I will not make it easy for her." I said firmly.

Without saying anything, Kyle shook his head. But Jaden just agreed with what I said.

"You are right! She deserves that. She acted like a fairy before us but finally, she is just a witch too…." Jaden added.

Elena's Point of View

I went directly to the hospital from Saint's mansion. Doctor Harris agreed to take my mom to the surgery tomorrow night as I could find the money. Now they are preparing my mom for the surgery. So I wanted to spend the night with her.

Mom was sleeping when I came to her room. I sat beside her and took her hand.

Though she was sleeping, I could still see the pain she was going through on her face… My poor mom…

I know what I will do is like digging my grave, but I am ready to do it because it gives my mom's life back.

When I refused the Whitlock family's offer, I felt really proud. I think not just me; even Saint admired me for what I did. I could tell it from the way he looked at me.

But now everything has changed… I disgust myself and feel Saint, Kyle and Jaden disgust me too… Especially Saint… How he talked and looked at me filled me with disgust and anger…

I know exactly what he thinks about me… He must think of me as someone ready to sell her soul for money. But I can't tell him the real reason I agreed to this contract. His parents strictly advised me not to tell anyone about it.

Anyway, I don't really care what he feels about me… He can disgust me and hate me as much as he wants. Until this setup provides me with what I need, I am willing to go with it…

Honestly, I don't even know if I should hate Saint for putting me in this terrible situation or thank him because he showed me a way to do the impossible and save my mom's life…

Anyway, I wish he would cooperate with me, and we can get this over without much trouble. After these six months, I will leave him and his friends forever….
