The Villainess

Chapter:1

Slyvia walked into her father office which is not a good thing. She could not remember why she needs to be here. A visit to her father's office is never a good thing in her life.

Sylvester Clemont walked in after making her wait. She stiffen up staring at the man.

" What can I do for you Mr.Clemont?" She asked her voice polite almost business kind of polite which is a normal thing.

Sylvester stare at his daughter coldly but he did not say anything. Slyvia held her head high and looked right back at him.

Sylvia knows, he wanted something or seeing her face is never in his to do list. But what that he needs her here. She would rather spend her time working than having a stare contest with Mr.Clemont. But she won't loose nor back down.

"I want you to sign the contract" Sylvester said before forwarding a file towards her which was already present. She raised her eyebrow taking the file.

Sylvia has a very good idea about this contract. She knew it from her childhood. Her eyes glide over the words which will clearly sign her fate off. She chuckled throwing the file on his desk.

"I won't" She said.

Sylvester was expecting her to react this way.

Slyvia turned ready to walk out.

"Do you know who is your partner?" Sylvester asked. Slyvia turn towards him sharply, raising her eyebrow.

"Adrian, Adrian Vance Alderbrige" She froze staring at him before smirking narrowing her eyes.

Ah! What would not give to see Adrian's face after hearing that. This will f**k him up on a different level. She chuckled.

This is not any contract but a contract marriage without anyway out. Once signed you have to stay together till death us do apart in a literal sense as their assets will be merged. This is used to increase family power. This has been done for years and years as a family tradition in various family especially family with old money. They would set up their children for marriage.

As much as she wants to say yes let's do this. Sylvia know she will f**k herself over too with Adrian. She rolled her eyes at her own thoughts.

"No" For a brief second she had the pleasure of seeing her father's distorted expression which he masked pretty quickly. But that few seconds was enough for her to know that she had for the very first time in her life unnerved her own father. The man made of ice blocks.

"What do you want then?" Sylvester asked narrowing his eyes. Slyvia smirked, she thought he might have some other plan to force her to comply. But he don't. That's funny she wanted to laugh at his face mocking him but stopped herself.

"How about you give up your power and position? And retire" Sylvia asked raising her eyebrow. Sylvester chuckled at her words. She froze gritting her teeth. Something is wrong here and she needs to find out before she fall into a trap.

"I won't be doing this" Sylvester voice dropped coldly.

"I was giving a easy way out, Sylvia. But you are as stubborn as always" He smirked. She glare at him the victory she feel dissolve.

'Calm down' She told herself if she wants to get out of here. She needs to think calmly.

"You won't want to see your mother suffer now would you?" Slyvia blinked her eyes after hearing his words. No, he would not dare to bring her mother into this. How dare he? She glare at him.

'No' her mind was screaming at her to say those words and watch his face distorting again. The pleasure she will feel but she could not.

She could not bring her mother into this. She grit her teeth, her fist clenched. It was taking her everything to stand still.

After what seems like forever. She open her mouth.

"Fine" Sylvia stated feeling exhausted even though the day has just started.

Sylvester nod his head satisfied at her answer.

"But.." Sylvia said. He frowned knowing very well that manipulating Sylvia into doing something is not easy.

"It won't be Adrian though" Sylvia said. The last thing she wants is being married to him. It come as a shock to Sylvester but he just let it go .

"Okay" He shrugged his shoulder as long she sign this contract which will give him an upper hand on everything.

"Here" Sylvester handed her few documents.

"Choose from them" Sylvia grit her teeth snatching the file.

'It's almost as if he is asking her to choose who she will be sold to' That's true to certain extend but the other person will be in the same position too. She went though the men stopping at a certain someone. Freezing almost. Her mind went blank as she stare at the picture

'Why the f**k is he in this?' staring at the man she did not know what to feel hatred? Anger?

Love?

'But is not this a good opportunity for her to take revenge?' She chuckled at her own thoughts, narrowing her eyes she looked at the name to make sure He is the same man.

A thrill run down her spine as she imagine his distorted face. And the thought that she is the one making him suffer seems too good of an opportunity to pass by. But this would mean both of them will be stuck together. Her life will be a mess as if it's not already.

Does she want that? No. She sighed putting his photo aside. She move through all the photos not knowing what to do. Her eyes again land on his face. He hates her, why would he be in this stack then? Not only that He loves someone else.

What could that mean? That Treyton has no idea about this. She smirked, she could use this. He will never agree to this and she will get an easy way out.

"Treyton Elias Vanidestine" She said throwing the document on her father's desk.

Sylvester looked at her narrowing his eyes. He thought she will throw more tantrums or try to take an easy way out but she did not.

"But, I want Treyton to signed it before me. If he does then only I will sign it or the deal is off" She did not stop this time walking straight out of his cabin.

Treyton hates her, he will die before marrying her either that or they will be stuck together in this mess. But this time she wanted him to leave her not the other way around.

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

Adrian was sitting in front of the bar nursing his drink. He feel exhausted after work. His life was going on a circle as he slowly drawn to the point of intoxication. He does not feel anything except this contant emptiness.

"Hey handsome. Buy me a drink" He turn to look at the woman raising his eyebrow. She was a beautiful woamn with blonde hair and icy blue eyes. She looked at him, her eyelashes fluttering. He looked at the bartender as if telling him to give her. He is a regular so the bartender did give.

"Go ahead order" Adrian said that was his attempt to be polite.

"You are not much of a talker?" She asked him. He just nod his head not bothering to answer.

He was staring at the golden liquid before gulping down. He paid for the drinks standing up.

"Wait" The woman whose name he don't know stopped him. She grabbed his hand pressing her body against his.

He looked down.

"I want you" He just stare at her not replying to her words bending down pressing his lips against her slowly kissing her. The woman grabbed his dress shirt.

"If we continue, this will just be a one night stand, no string attached" He said the last thing he wanted was a hysterical woman hurling insults at him because he did not make it clear. Adrian was waiting for her to push him away but she did not.

"That's exactly what I want" The woman said.

They went to the nearest hotel. The moment they entered the room, she pulled him down on the bed sitting on top of him, her legs around him as she rubbed herself against him.

"Not so fast darling" He flipped her taking out a condom. The woman stare at him. He is a very handsome man with green eyes and black hair.

He slowly pulled her dress down, grazing her bud arousing her. Kissing her slowly, she surrendered herself. He opened his shirt, the woman gasped looking him. Her finger found it's way around his neck pulling him down kissing him. They both slowly draw each other into a whirlpool of pleasure.

The next morning, he wake up by the sound of his phone, groaning he cut the call.He blinked his eyes feeling someone else beside him. Adrian sit up staring at the woman. He rubbed his face, what was he thinking? How much time has passed? His phone buzzed again this time he pick up.

"Where the hell are you?" He rolled his eyes.

"Why do I have to answer to you?" He asked getting out of the bed and get dressed with his phone in between his neck and shoulder.

"Well congratulations, we are getting married" The other person said.

"What the f**k?" He straighten up the phone slipped landing on the floor. He pick it up.

"Meet me at the usual place" That person said.

"Are you going?" He looked at the woman who was sitting up now.

"Yes I have to" Adrian said.

"Okay" The woman did not throw any tantrums much to his relief.

Adrian hurried out of the room went straight to the lobby paid for the room. He asked the room service to send her food and let her stay as much as she wants.

He then went to his house taking a shower. Adrian dressed up and walked out thinking he will have breakfast in the cafe.

He walked in taking a private booth, he ordered breakfast when Sylvia walked in huffing puffing.

"I have something to tell you" She said ordering a cup of coffee. He wants to know that too.

After a while, Adrian was staring at Slyvia waiting for her to say 'I am joking' but she glare at her cup of coffee.

'Okay so this is not a joke' He rolled his eyes at his own stupid observation. And the thought that he could be a part of it send a shiver down his spine especially when he have no idea about it. He could almost see his father breathing down on his neck asking him to say yes or threatening him, which ever seems to work.

Sylvia called him a few moment ago asking him to meet her. Adrian thought it would be for work but what he hear was something else.

"Why him?" that's the only thing he could say.

Slyvia looked at him, she was wandering that too. Why him? Was this her way of revenge? She don't know. That's the truth she don't and she does not want to know. All Treyton had to do is reject it. Things will go back to normal. Or as normal as her life allows.

"He won't accept it" Slyvia said rolling her eyes.

"What if he does?" Adrian said annoyed.

"Why would he?" Sylvia gritting her teeth. Does he want her to spill it out for him to understand? But Sylvia knows Adrian know everything just like she does.

"He loves someone else. You know that very well don't you?" Sylvia asked. Adrian tried to keep his face straight as her words bother him in many level. He knows very well but he can't just keep quiet.

"What if he is forced to do this?"

Sylvia never thought about that. As if anyone could forced Mr.Treyton Elias Vanidestine but what if he does?

"That's not possible" She shake her head. He is already in a committed relationship. So, that's out of question.

"But what it he said yes? What will you do?" Adrian frowned why is she not accepting that this could be a possibility.

"Then we will be forced to be together" She shrugged her shoulder as if it does not matter. He narrowed his eyes at her nonchalant behavior.

"You will get hurt" Adrian said. Sylvia sighed before looking out.

"I am already hurt, Adrian" She said, and that's the truth. Just because she act nonchalantly and have an I-don't-care attitude, does not mean she don't get hurt.

"Then why?" He asked.

"Listen to me Syl. Go to your father and tell him that it's me you want to marry" Adrian said. Sylvia sighed. She can't do that.

"I can't do that" She shake her head. That will be the most selfish thing. She wanted him to sweat and get scared but this? Never.

"Do you still love him?" Adrian asked because that's the only reasonable thing he could think off.

"No" She glare at him.

"How could I love that man who

....broke my heart ?" She asked even though she paused for a bit.

"Why can't you marry me then?" Adrain asked.

"Because I love you" Sylvia said grinning. He sighed does not know what to say but he head her unsaid words.

'enough to let you destroy your life'

It's not like his life is not crumbling right now. He already stopped living a while back and she knows that very well. What's the point then?

Sylvia sighed, Adrian is stubborn when he wants to be. She needs to find something else to say and she know exactly what.

"Are you worried about Kiara?" She asked smirking.

Adrian raised his eyebrow though her words hurt him where it hurts the most. But he keep his face

Does he have any right to worry over her?

And the answer is simply No.

"I am worried about you" Adrian said seriously staring right at her, leaving her in a bitter position. He was starting at her waiting for her to talk tell her inner thought. She grit her teeth before saying those words.

"I want him to suffer that's why I choose him" And that's the truth or so she belief.

Adrian did not ask question after that.
