The billionaire's woman

CHAPTER EIGHT -- Not a man to be easily seduced

I wake up sore and tired the next morning. Soft sheets surround me, and my head kept pounding. Memories of last night flood into my head, and I remember how Kai Hadez had brought me in here and relieved me of that ache by touching me. And my subtle threat to expose his activities to Beth, and how he had threatened and left me here alone. I was basically homeless, and I ruined my chance of getting with him.

FUCK IT

I was drunk and my head was not in a clear state. Have I ruined everything for myself? How do I make it up to him and undo the huge wreckage I just created in my plans? He’d never agree to see me again, and even though we didn’t have s*x, he had seen my most sacred part and gotten an orgasm out of me. He had to show some responsibility. But unfortunately, I know he won’t.

He was the type of guy who didn’t regard these types of things as sacred or special. I was just another girl eager to get into his bed right now, and he had already gotten a taste. He was definitely no longer interested.

This was going to be harder than I thought. If i were in such a state and he hadn’t gone all the way when I would have been more than willing, that shows he was just not like any man. He had self-control, and he was not a man to be easily seduced. The only thing he wants to protect is his forbidden relationship, and I have to keep threatening him with it. That’s all I have after all.

I need to prepare myself and try a new approach. At least he left me here in the hotel room instead of throwing me out and since no one has come to kick me out yet, i plan to shamelessly stay till he realises and kicks me out. I only had my car to go back to. Speaking of which, it was still at the bar. I had to go and get it. I get out of bed slowly and take a quick hot shower before putting on my clothes from yesternight.

Then I search my purse for some cash and buy a mask, a cap and some cheap sunglasses from a nearby shop. I pick the bus. I don’t have enough for a cab. I was broke.

Yesterday was a good opportunity to get some money from Kai, but I ruined my chance.

I bow my head and pass by some early morning workers in their corporate attire, going to work. I try not to draw attention and keep my eyes on the floor. I take a seat in the far back and take out my phone. I search the news. There’s nothing about m or Kai. I sigh in relief. No one saw us.

If they did, i had no doubt Kai will toss me aside to please Beth. That Lucky b***h.

I could just ask her to leave him for me temporarily just for my plan to succeed and I can return him, but I doubt she will. These two were in love with each other hence i need to resort this means.

“Miss–”

“Miss”

“Huh” I leave my head to see whoever was addressing me. It was a man in front of me.

“The driver has been trying to get your attention. You haven’t scanned your bus card.”

“My.. My bus card.. Um, I’ll pay with cash. I forget to take it.” I say in low tones. Not wanting to risk my voice being recognised.

The driver scowled at me, clearly already displeased with me. He probably thought i was purposefully ignoring him and being a bad passenger whilst he was tring to call me earlier/. I was just so lost in my thoughts.

“Then you should have explained immediately you got on, not go to sit down when i was trying to get your attention. Are you deaf or just disrespectful?”

“Sir, I apologise. It was not intentional. Forgive me. I’m just having a rough day.”

He gave me a once-over and scowled. I look around for assistance from the other passengers, but most just minded their business or also scowled at me as if in agreement with him. Of course, I was just a commoner right now. I was too used to everyone trying to please me and fight my battles for me to get my favor.

“Apologise to yourself.” He tsked.

I got up and headed to the front to hand him two bills. “Please, will this be enough to cover the ride. I’m just going to the nearest stop to the Vlax bar on 33rd street.”

After my words and actions, he seemed to get angrier and shouted at me.

“Since when have prostitutes gotten shameless?”

“Excuse me, I'm not a prostitute, I am a noble lady trying to get to my destination.”

“Oh please, it's no secret that the bustop is known to be a prostitute hotspot in attempt to get the wealthy patrons of Vlax bar to show interest in them. You’re dressed in probably fake designer and you are heading there. Everyone already knows who you are. I don’t take prostitutes on this bus nor do i accept cash from such a filthy job.

“Do you have evidence of your bold accusation. Please restrain yourself and apologize to me.” I demand upset.

“Who do you think you are? Drop the posh act. A man probably had you in his bed last night, and you’re already going straight to the next shamelessly.”

“If you don’t apologise to me right now, I will take you to court and ensure you spend a lot of time in jail.”

The whole bus bursts into laughter and giggles, giving me funny looks.

“A prostitute dares to threaten an honest worker. Don’t you know prostitution is illegal in this country? You would only hurt yourself?” Someone tsked.
