Chapter 3

SEDUCTIVE GLANCES

Sharon was really surprised, however, she knew she had to keep it cool. She did this with ease.

Richard led her into his mansion. There were a lot of maids there. As they moved, they met more maids who greeted them. It took them some time before they got to the interior of the mansion. It was a very big mansion.

Sharon stepped into a very big living room.

“This is the visitor’s living room. The main living room is not so far from here…” Richard reassured and kept walking ahead. Sharon, who was already tired felt like not going anymore. She needed rest. She was still partially limping.

Sharon didn’t tell Richard all these. She followed him and at last, they got to the main living room. Richard understood how Sharon must feel. He had one of the maids get her some water to relax.

No sooner had they settled down, the mansion’s butler, Isabel, came to check up on them.

Isabel had been in the mansion for over twenty-five years. She started her service at the age of twenty-five. Richard was only three years old then. When Richard lost his parents, Isabel became his nanny, and mother figure. She attended every parents meeting at Richard’s school. At some point, Richard began to wonder if she wasn’t his real mother.

After Richard took up the position as the C.E.O of his late father’s company, he made Isabel the butler as she was the only one who had stayed enough in the mansion who could see to the proper running of affairs.

Isabel was a sweet, good-mannered, and kind woman. However, she was also disciplined. She loved impacting good morals on youths. Richard was used to her.

“Who is this young lady?” Isabel asked, upon seeing Sharon seated on the cushion chair comfortably.

“Well…” Richard stood up, held Isabel’s hands and smiled. “Her name is Sharon and she is my girlfriend. She will be staying with us for the meantime.”

Isabel was shocked. She disengaged from Richard and glanced at Sharon deeply. At this point, Sharon was very nervous and embarrassed. She didn’t know what Isabel’s reaction would be.

“What did you call her? Repeat that again!” Isabel requested. It was like she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“She is my girlfriend…” Richard muttered with a weak smile.

Isabel became excited. She began to move around with happiness. Sharon stood up to greet Isabel formally but the latter didn’t need that at all. Isabel hugged Sharon close to her bosom in the midst of that excitement.

Isabel sat with Sharon now and began to ask her different things. Sharon made sure she answered the questions intelligently. As she did this, Isabel was more happy.

“Sharon isn’t leaving anytime soon, right?” Isabel asked Richard carefully.

“Sure, she is going to stay for a long time. I already spoke to her dad and he agreed...” Richard replied. He was quite busy with his phone.

“That’s good!” Isabel noted. “But I have been busy glaring at your leg since, Sharon. How did it happen?”

Sharon wanted to explain but Richard cut her short. He began to explain to Isabel while omitting most of the truth. Richard was telling Isabel an untrue version of the story behind the accident. Isabel asked Sharon if it was true and of course, Sharon muttered a weak “yes”.

Later on, Isabel went away to give the chef directions for lunch. Richard told Isabel that he hadn’t taken breakfast yet and this sparked off some urgency in Isabel’s eyes. When Sharon also affirmed that the narrative was the same with her, Isabel ran to the kitchen herself and had the maids serve both of them some fruit juice and snacks to take before the main meal was ready.

After taking the snacks, Richard secretly told Sharon to follow him into his bedroom. Sharon’s heart beat loudly as she followed him. She didn’t know what his next move would be.

Richard led Sharon inside the room and locked the door after her. This made Sharon more anxious. However, Richard didn’t have any evil intention in mind. He urged Sharon to sit on the bed and he handed her some documents.

“I could tell you were in a hurry yesterday when you signed the contract marriage documents. Did you read the terms and conditions?” Richard asked carefully.

“I didn’t read the terms…” Sharon recognized her mistake. She turned to Richard now. “Are the terms hard to abide with? Are the conditions too strict?”

“Not really…” Richard noted. “I wouldn’t give terms and conditions that I know you wouldn’t be able to abide with. Nevertheless, the documents are in your hands. Check it out yourself and tell me what you think about it.”

Sharon read it now. The terms and conditions were quite absurd. It was noted there that apart from the original one hundred dollars paid, Sharon wasn’t entitled to any amount of money till the contract ended. Also, Sharon wasn’t going to be getting new clothes, shoes, or bags. All she would use had been provided from the onset. Apart from that, she would get nothing else. The contract also noted that she would be getting modeling and ambassadorship offers because of the influence she had as Richard’s wife. All the money she earned would be shared with Richard taking eighty percent and her taking the remainder.

Sharon was already pissed off but that wasn’t all. She continued reading.

Sharon would have to attend dinner dates, conference meetings, and other gatherings as Richard’s wife. She was expected to be classy. The contract also noted that Sharon had to quit every friendship as it could be a loophole for an impending scandal. At this point, Sharon stopped reading.

Sharon could understand a few things now. Richard was a billionaire but also a miser. He was stingy.

“This is unacceptable! We have to renegotiate!” Sharon cried angrily.

“I am sorry, Sharon, but that wouldn’t be possible. If you said this before you signed the contract, that’s good. Now is not the time to renegotiate. The deal has been done. All I want you to do now is understand what you are in for…” Richard said. After this, he opened the door and stepped out. Sharon was angry but she decided to conceal it. She also left the room afterwards.

Later on, Richard’s best friend arrived. His name was Mike Samurai. He was fairly tall, slim, very handsome, and with an attractive dentition. He smiled a lot and this caught Sharon’s attention.

Mike tried to familiarize with Sharon. They discussed and had dinner together with Richard.

Sharon couldn’t help but confess that Mike was a very cool and playful person. He was very fun to be around with. But as things progressed, Mike began to flirt with Sharon.

Mike did this quite openly but away from Richard’s view. Sharon noticed this and began to avoid Mike’s eyes. However, this didn’t solve a thing as Mike always had working ideas to get Sharon’s attention.

After dinner, Richard went to the toilet leaving Mike and Sharon together. Mike took advantage of this situation and went to sit beside Sharon. He touched her thighs slowly thereby sending goosebumps into Sharon’s skin.

Both of them were in a dangerously intimate position. Mike closed on Sharon and tried to kiss her. Sharon had no escape route as she was stuck in this position.

At this moment, Richard arrived, seeing Sharon and Mike doing the unimaginable. His fists were tightened.
