My Addiction by Ida Gonzalez (e manga reader TXT) 📖

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ricardi," I stutter and I hate myself for that. He raises an eyebrow, giving me a sideways smile, Oh God. he shouldn't have. I'm feeling hot, uff, stop, stop, behave, idiot.

"Call me just Iam," he replies.

"Iam," I whisper, I can't stop looking at him. His eyes attract me too much. He licks his lips, my God !!! Did he really do that?
"You must be Paula?"
"Don't you work at Marc's restaurant?" he affirms slightly.
"That matters?" I ask a little confused
"Not at all, that doesn't bother me, precious but Santiago didn't mention that you are this beautiful," My face burns with embarrassment. I am in front of one of those three men who appeared the other day at the restaurant. God! How small the world is.
"Please, take a seat. We should talk about the agreement," he tells me and I just nod my head. I think the cat ate my tongue. He sits with all his sexy and attractive demeanor. He is truly an Adonis.

"Well, Paula, I will be direct. I need a companion. One that is ready for me when I need it," he speaks with a smile, leaning his elbows on his table. Won't his cheek hurt from smiling so much? I mean, Paula, he just talked to you and all you could think about is if his face will hurt. You moron.

"And what does that entail?" I ask after composing myself. He lets out a laugh.

"There will be no sex if you don't want it if that's your concern," he clarifies.

Oh my! This papacito cannot be so direct.

"I have a contract prepared. I want you to read it and sign it. If you do not agree with something, we change it," he offers me a black folder. With shaking hands, I take it and start reading, feeling his gaze on me all the time. These men do know how to intimidate.

1-The lady will accompany Mr. Ricardi to all the events that he considers, thus, she will spend a weekend with him at his house or wherever he wants.

2-They will have sex only if she wants it, and other things, with her full consent.

3-The contract will have a duration of one month. If after a month both parties wish to extend the contract, it will be under the express consent of both parties.

4-The amount that will be deposited in the account of the lady will be 40 thousand dollars.

Oh my God! It is a lot of money. The first part will be deposited after the second meeting and the other half at the end of the contract. I am speechless. It is a lot of money with which I can easily pay for Katy's treatment and the best thing is that I do not have to sleep with anyone.

"Well Mr. Ricar.." I say, “Iam," clearing my throat.

"Where do I sign?" He, with a crooked smile, gets up from his chair, stands in front of me, leans back on his desk, and hands me a pencil.

"Sign here," he indicates the place where I should put my signature.

My hands are shaking. I'm torn between signing and not signing. Damn, I have to sign. My sister depends on me and I need the money.

"Well, miss, you're all mine now," he smiles and I gulp.

“All yours? he smiles when he notices my scared face. He approaches me and puts his hands on the sides of my chair, bringing his face dangerously close to mine. I can feel his breath, those honey-colored eyes that look so transparent, beautiful.

"Don't be scared, Paula, I don't bite," I gulp down saliva. His voice is so hoarse that it gives me goosebumps. He walks away slowly and then turns to me.

"Tomorrow night, I'll pick you up at 8 o'clock."

" Tomorrow?"

Shit! this soon?

"Yes, do you have a problem with that?"

"No," I answer quickly. Control yourself, Paula.

"And how should I dress?" I ask.

"Today you will get a package. Receive it. It is a gift."

"But you don't know where I live," I reply, quickly. He laughs once more in that husky and delicious voice for my taste.

"I know everything, my dear Paula Ricci. You leave everything to me," he states.

"Okay, so if there's nothing else to talk about I'll go," I get up quickly. I would like to run away. This is too much.

"Wait! There is one more thing,” he comes closer to me, grabs my chin, scans my whole face as if studying something

" You are really beautiful,” he whispers softly, my breathing quickens. He leaves a kiss in the corner of my lips before letting me out of the office.

"See you tomorrow, lam" when I'm about to leave, I hear him speak again.

"Paula!" I turn around.

“It was a real pleasure to meet you,” I nodded and left as if my life depended on it. In less than 5 minutes, I was out of the building, breathing heavily. Calm down, Paula, breathe, it's over, it's over. I tell myself trying to calm down. The chaos that has formed within me

This is too much, God! I have the feeling that this is going to be crazy but there is no going back now. Everything is for the health of my sister, she only has me.

That afternoon, I spent time with Katy and we talked and laughed about many things, then suddenly the doorbell rang and I went to see who it was.
